It's Him!
Now it was Jiang Chi's turn to fall silent.
There are no fools in the best games. He thought that Poison would be mindful of her own situation and wouldn't expose the relationship that was detrimental to her, but he was wrong.
The Poison not only exposed his true intentions but also threw the question back at him.
Her meaning was clear: whether or not to continue the cooperation was not up to her alone; it depended on what Jiang Chi was secretly connecting the players, really thought.
Jiang Chi's silence undoubtedly provides the answer: he did indeed have contact with Da Yi!
Indeed, Jiang Chi and Da Yi reached some preliminary cooperation agreements. The cooperation involved him helping Da Yi obtain the "Gift of Scars," and Da Yi promising to lend him a helping hand someday in the future.
This promise was practically a risk-free, high-return investment for Da Yi. No one knew for sure whether a particular player would survive to the future, so Da Yi accepted it without hesitation.
Of course he knew that Jiang Chi had other plans in mind, but the reality of the elite circle is that you can't make others completely agree with you, so... take advantage of any opportunity first, and in the end, it will be a test of who is better at taking advantage.
Jiang Chi did indeed have his own ulterior motives, but he didn't feel any anger towards the Poison who exposed his true colors. Instead, he glanced at the other party with appreciation and continued on his way with a smile.
This wasn't because Jiang Chi was unfathomably cunning, but because the Poison accurately struck at his emotional pulse!
This Chosen of God of the "Filth and Decay" gods, who "sold" the Pointer Knight, possesses wisdom and erudition!
The reason she recounted so much history in the previous residence was not simply to appease Da Yi, but to demonstrate it to Jiang Chi.
She knew that Jiang Chi was the kind of person who preferred to cooperate with intelligent people. That's why Poison dared to expose his thoughts in front of Jiang Chi. She knew that this would not only avoid embarrassing Jiang Chi, but might even pull this collaborator back from Da Yi's side a little.
Only in this way could she increase her chances of obtaining the Daggers in this most unfavorable situation.
Of course, her ideal partner was Cheng Shi, but unfortunately, Cheng Shi did not trust her, or rather, dared not trust her.
So, the helpless Poison could only take it one step at a time. She left a message for Cheng Shi so that Cheng Shi would see that there were still "teammates" to cooperate with in this Trials. As for whether the other party wanted to cooperate, that depended on how much the Fate Weaver coveted the [Gift of Scars].
The four of them traveled through the wind and snow for a long time, visiting military camps, inns, Tavern, mansions... They went to many places according to Galen's directions, but they could not find any trace of the First Prince. After several hours, Da Yi stopped.
"Damn it, don't let me find out you're playing me!" he said irritably, carrying the Old Galen. "Think again, where else could the First Prince be!"
Jiang Chi frowned upon seeing this. Poison, noticing Jiang Chi's expression, glanced at Old Galen and asked thoughtfully:
"You said the First Prince is a fighter, so is it possible that he went out of the city to fight those World Destroyers?"
The imperial guards were taken away by your unreliable emperor, but the garrison soldiers in the city are still there. Could he have already set off with his men?
Old Galen shook his head frantically:
"If the garrison troops are capable, why did Your Majesty flee so quickly!"
The armies in other cities are still capable of fighting, but the garrison in Kannaal has long been used by nobles as a stepping stone for promotion. With His Majesty's departure, it is unknown how many noble sons he has taken with him, and it is hard to say how many of the remaining soldiers are still capable of fighting.
The World Destroyers are not a mob, and the First Prince is no fool either.
I don't doubt his patriotism, and I believe he will lead the team to fight the World Destroyers and defend the people here, but I don't think he dares to go out and fight those demons without recruiting new soldiers.
Hearing this, Da Yi became even more agitated. "Damn it, this isn't there, that won't do, where is he?!"
Jiang Chi remained silent, then, after a moment of contemplation with Poison slight frown, said:
"Stop talking about the places he likes to go. Does this First Prince have any distinctive features? We met quite a few people in those places just now, and according to your description, there are quite a few people who match his appearance, but you rejected them all."
So are there any other more significant features?
At our speed, splitting up to search might be more efficient.
Old Galen was terrified. He trembled as he pondered for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile:
"The First Prince looks very ordinary, and doesn't even look much like His Majesty. His appearance is no different from that of an ordinary person."
If one had to name a characteristic of the Royal Family, it would be that the purification marks on the Royal Family members are arranged in an orderly fashion, unlike those of nobles and commoners.
But these things are hidden under clothes, so it's better to look for their faces!
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately perked up, with Da Yi even breathing heavily.
Poison's eyes lit up. "The Purification Marks are the scars on your backs?"
Old Galen felt as if he had been stripped naked by three sharp eyes, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
"Only Royal Family have neatly arranged scars?"
Does your First Prince have three children, one boy and two girls?
Does the First Prince's wife also have neatly arranged scars?
"?"
Old Galen was stunned, thinking to himself, "You guys know a lot too, how come you know so much and are still asking me questions?"
But this time, before he could respond, upon seeing his expression again, Da Yi grabbed him and rushed towards the square.
"It's him!"
The remaining Poison and Jiang Chi exchanged a glance, spoke in unison, and then hurriedly followed.
As Jiang Chi hurried back, he said regretfully, "I should have thought of that earlier. Since he advocated recruiting soldiers, of course he wouldn't stray far from the square he was overseeing!"
Poison glanced at Jiang Chi with a playful look, chuckled twice, and chose not to respond.
The three of them moved quickly, or rather, their original location was not far from the square, and they soon arrived at the house.
No one expected that Destiny would be so magical, allowing them to find the real answer right at the very beginning.
Before stepping back into the alley where the house was located, Da Yi took out a bottle of medicine from his personal space and poured it into Old Galen's mouth. He asked the same question again, and after receiving the same answer, he knocked Old Galen unconscious and threw him aside.
Seeing this, Poison curled his lips into a self-deprecating smile:
"Da Yi, do you have to be so wary of me?"
I didn't even know that I had randomly chosen the First Prince's hiding place outside the palace.
Da Yi glanced at Poison, ignored her, snorted coldly, and flashed towards the house. But before he could break down the door, the Assassin of [War] stopped in his tracks with a drastic change in expression, his eyes wide with shock as he quickly retreated.
Before Poison and Jiang Chi, who were following behind him, realized what was wrong, they looked up and saw several silent arrows flying towards them.
Chameleon!
This silent Believer was lying in ambush here!?
How dare he!?
Now that Gongyang Jiao is dead, how dare he challenge the might of three Peak Player all by himself?
Is he out of his mind?
The three quickly retreated to avoid the arrows. When they returned to the alley, their expressions worsened. They suddenly realized that if a Hunter dared to fight desperately at the front, there must be someone behind him silently mending his Destiny, giving him the confidence to stand at the forefront!
And that person, at present, can only be...
Cheng Shi!
The Fate Weaver and the Chameleon have teamed up!
Thinking of this, Da Yi's face darkened slightly, Jiang Chi's expression was complicated. Poison... He curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.
She stood quietly at the back, muttering to herself with a playful tone:
"What did I tell you? The little Priest is really hard."
Now look what's happened. The number of Hunter hasn't changed, but we've lost one for no reason.
So, what's the next move, you two?
