The Fool of the Gods

The air was moist and the body felt cold.

Before he opened his eyes, Cheng Shi was already covered in goose bumps by the cool breeze around him.

Cold, but not windy, but gloomy.

When his sense of smell recovered, he smelled a strong stench in the air, like the smell of fallen leaves piled up in a pond and rotting.

Under the stimulation of multiple senses, a thought flashed through Cheng Shi's mind:

Rainforest? Will this game be in the wild again?

He quickly opened his eyes after regaining consciousness, and then saw the thick pile of dead branches and rotten leaves under his feet and the half-dead rotten woods around him.

! ! !

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he blurted out a suspicious guess:

"Underground?"

But he didn't expect that the word "underground" was not said by him alone, but by three or four people in unison.

His heart skipped a beat and he immediately looked around. His sharp eyes kept wandering around his five teammates. They looked calm, but their slightly frowned brows showed that they were also a little surprised.

It seemed that most people didn't expect that a trial of [Prosperity] could be arranged underground.

You have to know that the underground is different from the surface. This is the nest of [Sinking] and the base camp of [Chaos]. These two [Gods] of fate are the absolute rulers of the underground faith. As for those respected by the surface life, here, to put it bluntly, they are all evil gods.

In such a place, the will of [Prosperity] is almost inaudible.

To complete a task of protecting [Prosperity] in a place where there is almost no [Prosperity] faith, the difficulty can be imagined.

Cheng Shi never expected that this trial would be a big deal right from the start!

OK, really good!

The only good news now is that the teammates look confused but not afraid, which means that everyone's scores are not low, and it is very likely that they are in a high-scoring game, and there is still room for improvement.

As expected, when everyone was looking at each other, a man wearing glasses and a gray jacket spoke:

"Twisted Night Python... Everyone, our situation is not good."

"Sigh Forest!" A long-haired female player frowned, kicked the rotten leaves under her feet, and said with disgust, "The breath of [Decay] is disgusting every time."

Cheng Shi glanced at this sister silently, and it was almost certain that she must be a believer of [Prosperity], not only because her disgust for [Decay] was clearly shown on her face, but also because of the long hair that fell over her thighs.

Too long, just like the will of [Prosperity], growing wantonly.

Moreover, the image of this female player is also very eye-catching. She only wears an animal skin bra on her upper body and super short animal skin shorts on her lower body. She doesn't even wear shoes. Her hot and primitive outfit makes people feel wild at first glance.

At first glance, it seems that she belongs to the forest.

But unfortunately, this is a forest covered by [Decay]. Although this game is the trial of her benefactor, this place is really not very friendly to [Prosperity] believers.

The Sighing Forest is a forest area covered by [Decay] in the northeast of the underground world. It can be regarded as the most extensive forest in the entire Continent of Hope, both underground and on the surface.

The reason why it is called the Sighing Forest is that this forest is full of a fog called [Sighing Tide] all year round. The fog is full of [Decay] power. Any life swallowed by the fog will embrace [Decay] after completely losing its way and become part of this rotten forest.

The twisted night python is one of the creatures transformed by [Decay].

When the sun rises from the ground, which is not very hot, it will turn into the crooked rotten wood in front of the players, which is no different from real trees; and when night falls, the rotten wood will gradually move, and under the moonlight, it will turn into rotten giant pythons, preying everywhere, and shed its snake skin before the next sunrise, turning into rotten wood again.

And the snake skin they shed is the leaves that everyone is stepping on.

These rotten leaves will become the nutrients of [Decay], which will be used to transform more lives that stray into it.

This is the ecology of [Decay], and this is the Sighing Forest.

"The Dark Sun has just passed the zenith, and there are about 5 hours before nightfall. I think this time is enough for us to find clues about it."

"Can you see the Dark Sun?" The man in the jacket and glasses who spoke first looked happy and looked at the tall and thin man in the feather cloak who just spoke.

The feathered man nodded, then shook his head and said:

"It seems that our teammates are still a little short of the mark, don't you think, baldhead?"

? ? ?

What?

Baldhead?

Cheng Shi followed the feathered man's line of sight to the female player with knee-length hair and couldn't help wanting to laugh.

YouCall this a bald head?

Brother, your eyesight is not good enough...

Wait! No!

Cheng Shi's mouth just bent halfway and then froze. His pupils contracted violently for a moment, and he looked at the woman with super long hair again.

The believer of [Prosperity]... was called a bald head... There seemed to be a "bald man using Rejoice" on the list... The information shared by the players in the Mage Channel also said that the God of Prosperity has not returned yet...

Ah?

She can't be! ! ? ?

As soon as this terrifying guess came to mind, the "bald man" spat in disdain:

"You called me bald, too?

Stinky bird, watch your feathers, don't let me find a chance to pluck you bald."

As she spoke, she casually stretched out her hand and pulled out a twisted snake python, and then in front of everyone, she used a ruthless iron hand to pull the bent tree trunk from top to bottom, and pulled out a pure wooden spear on the spot!

Then she stuck the wooden spear in the rotten leaves, rested her arms on the end of the spear, and smiled at other teammates with a relaxed and free-spirited look:

"Don't panic, personal grudges have nothing to do with you.

Let me introduce you, Honglin, Druid, 2567."

Druid, a warrior of [Prosperity].

A warrior profession that can transform across multiple species, its output methods are mostly fierce, can resist and fight, and can be said to be all-round.

The profession is good, the score is high enough, the thighs are white... and strong, but Cheng Shi... wants to run away.

"..."

2567!

Players with this score should not be matched with me.

Who is controlling this shitty matching mechanism?

There are only a few left among the dozen God's Choices, and I can actually meet one in this game!

No, not necessarily one, how can an ordinary person have a personal grudge with the God's Choice? Then this guy covered in bird feathers...

Cheng Shi quickly turned his head to look at the feather man, only to see him squinting and smiling, saying without any annoyance:

"I am looking forward to it, I hope you can use more force when you attack."

"..."

No, buddy, are you also [dirty]?

Cheng Shi was numb, he felt that he had encountered a dirty thing again, but the introduction of this guy made him feel that it would be better to have a [dirty] teammate.

"Zhen, you can call me Zhen, the one who drinks poison to quench thirst.

The Rotten Singer, 2538."

The Rotten Singer, the singer of [Decay].

Amazing, not only did I meet a chosen one in a trial, but I also met a high-scoring [Decay] believer!

This is a [Prosperity] trial!

Let alone the personal grudges between the two people, with regard to the opposing beliefs, can this bird hair brother let this trial proceed smoothly?

For these people, deducting some points may be easier than drinking some water.

At this moment, Cheng Shi's brows were twisted more than twisted dough sticks. He sighed in his heart and looked at the next person silently.

"Bald? Bald people use Rejoice? Are you the God of Prosperity?" The man in the jacket and glasses looked at Honglin in astonishment, and then looked at Zhe Du in surprise, "Are you the one with the ID Zhe Du who was once the fourth on the list of Decay?"

Honglin did not seem to be proud of the identity of the God of Chosen. She curled her lips to admit it, and the bird-haired guy also smiled and nodded with narrowed eyes.

"Oh no, this time it's getting stronger."

"You know a lot, what's your name?"

"Zuoqiu, [Existence]..." The man in the jacket and glasses pushed his glasses, his face a little complicated, "Forget it, I can't hide it in front of the big guys. I'm a historian, a historian of the historical school, 2343 in the ladder."

The first sentence is false, and the second sentence is true.

His name is not Zuoqiu, but he is indeed a historian.

"..."

Really good!

Cheng Shi's face was almost stiff, and his whole body was numb.

I was just cheated enough by a historian, and then there is another one?

Or after I got back the [Fraud] belief, I got another one!

What's going on? There are now two [people] who like to watch clown performances, right?

If you guys play like this, don't blame me for picking up that "XXXXXX" again!
