Little Priest, You've Changed

However, the situation on the battlefield can change rapidly, and no one can predict what will happen next.

Just as the silent arrow was about to pierce Cheng Shi's legs, the Poison beside him was activated first.

She suddenly stood up from where she was lying on the ground, and in a leap, she stood in front of Cheng Shi's legs, using her body to block the blasting arrow.

The arrow pierced through Poison's right shoulder, through his spine, and then emerged from his left shoulder blade, like a shoulder shackle that pinned this "Filth and Decay" Chosen of God one to the ground at Cheng Shi's feet.

That's not the most fatal thing. The most fatal thing is that it's a "silent" arrow, full of the blessing of "silence," which instantly renders the wounded Poison powerless to resist, causing it to let out a painful wail.

"Ouch, that hurts."

She turned her head to look at Cheng Shi, a hint of unconcealed pain flashing in her eyes, but she forced a smile and joked, despite her pale face:

"Why are you still so slow to react, little Priest?"

Upon seeing this, Cheng Shi's pupils shrank dramatically!

He wasn't grateful to the Poison for saving him, but rather lamented that he had been too careless and had fallen for her trick despite all his precautions!

This Filth and Decay Assassin is always so good at arousing desire in people.

The desire to protect and feelings of guilt are certainly desires!

But... what kind of relationship would make a woman risk her life to shield a man from harm?

If this scene happened to anyone, the public would probably scrutinize it thoroughly. But if someone clarified that the woman in this incident used Poison, the public's reaction would likely be:

Oh, Poison? That's normal. What, she has a new prey?

This shows that the reputation of this "Filth and Decay" Chosen of God among Peak Player... is neither good nor bad, it's just very strange.

This highlights the difficulty of pleasing everyone.

Those who like her are head over heels in love, while those who hate her are filled with rage.

Unlike other Filth and Decay Believer, this [Filth and Decay] Assassin is not annoying. She never deliberately arouses others' desires, nor does she encourage others to indulge their emotions. She will only find the most ingenious time to appear where you need her most, and then make you willingly and actively "give" your desires.

Take the present moment, for example.

She met Cheng Shi, got to know Cheng Shi, and even knew a little about Cheng Shi. So she knew that Cheng Shi was not a normal player. He never trusted anyone, but he would not become cold-blooded because of his lack of trust in people. At least when there was a way out, this Priest was not cold-blooded.

That's why she chose to reverse her identity, transforming from someone who needed to be protected into someone who protected others, and leaped to save Cheng Shi.

Although the attack was not fatal to Cheng Shi, at the moment when the Poison was pierced by the arrow and pinned to the ground, a desire to save people still arose in his heart.

Even if the desire vanishes instantly upon realizing the other person is Poison, it is undeniable that the other person can always touch the softest spot in a person's heart.

Cheng Shi's gaze deepened; he realized that this chosen one of the "Filth and Decay" Chosen of God seemed to have grown stronger again.

When Poison saw the fleeting hesitation in Cheng Shi's eyes, she knew she was saved.

Then she smiled, a radiant smile despite her pale face. Her smile almost dimmed the already sparsely colored square, making her appear like a lotus flower blooming in Storm, breathtakingly beautiful.

But the smile froze on her face after only a second, because Cheng Shi, who had just shown a hint of reluctance in his eyes Cheng Shi...

They jumped away.

The opponent was like a Clown was slow to realize what was happening. He only woke up when he saw the arrow stuck in front of him, and then jumped back in terror.

This comical scene was performed so realistically that it was almost impossible for others to find any flaws. But Poison knew that this was not the real Cheng Shi. He was just using this set of slightly awkward actions to cover up his true feelings and to distance himself from himself, using his actions to show his refusal to get involved in this mess.

"..."

At that moment, Poison didn't say a word, nor did it look at Cheng Shi with pitiful eyes for help. It just pursed its lips weakly and closed its eyes to wait for death.

She seemed disappointed and Despair.

The pitiful sight made Da Yi, who was facing him, frown. He really didn't want Poison to perish here before he got the information he wanted.

On the contrary, Cheng Shi was like a cold-blooded animal with a heart of stone. He seemed panicked on the surface, but a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. He just watched the Poison performance without moving and had no intention of reaching out to save it.

He didn't know what this woman was up to, but he knew that the Chameleon in the distance couldn't kill her; otherwise, she wouldn't have become the Chosen of God of the "Filth and Decay"!

Sure enough, just as the [Silent] Believer were overjoyed at Cheng Shi's lack of intervention, another unexpected event occurred.

Suddenly, the bystander who had been watching the fight hurled his gnomon in front of the Chameleon, blocking his attack. Then, with a swift leap, he appeared before the Poison, drew his gnomon, and swept it across, knocking the Chameleon back in a moment of stunned disbelief. He then held the gnomon upright against his chest like a sword, declaring:

"I've suddenly become interested in the news you mentioned. I suppose Miss Poison wouldn't mind if you shared your secret with just one more person?"

He turned his head slightly to look at the Poison, gave a graceful half-bow, and then turned back to look in the direction where the Chameleon had disappeared, saying:

"Let me introduce myself, Jiang Chi."

If you are merely an accomplice of the Screaming Count, I suggest you wait before making your move. After all, given Miss Poison's talent, this colleague of hers might very well fall for her. What do you think?

Jiang Chi's voice wasn't loud, but everyone in the howling wind and snow square could hear it clearly.

Poison curled its lips into a sneer, ignoring such "negative comments." The Chameleon, which had vanished again, also remained silent. Seeing that no one paid attention, Jiang Chi chuckled self-deprecatingly and said:

"Of course, if you wish to warm up in this cold weather, with this gnomon in hand, I can accompany you for a while."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought."

This Jiang Chi is indeed a Pointer Knight!

Pointer Knight, the rival of [Destiny], the warrior of [Time], a true timing master who is very good at seizing opportunities and gaps in the market.

Cheng Shi had actually guessed the other party's identity long ago. When the other party broke the gnomon, he felt that this person's Faith was probably related to "time". This was also the reason why he chose to approach Da Yi instead of staying in the same place as the other party as a spectator.

In this Trials that erupted into fierce conflict right from the start, he had to first distance himself from the unstable factors around him and wait until the situation stabilized before discussing whether the Faith Opposition would affect teamwork.

But at least for now, this Pointer Knight named Jiang Chi seems to have chosen to stand on the same side as Da Yi and himself.

Of course, this refers to the faction that wants to hear the secrets of the "Gift of Scars," not the faction that wants some kind of healing Poison.

Seeing that someone had saved him again, Poison opened his eyes slightly and smiled again.

But she ignored Jiang Chi and instead turned to look at Cheng Shi with a complicated expression, saying with a hint of Lost, "Little Priest, you've changed."

Cheng Shi sneered and ignored him.

"You've gotten so hard."

"???"

"My heart is so hard."

"..."
