The Fool of the Gods

The fog gate is not actually a door, but a space distortion and subsidence caused by the excessive accumulation of the power of [Decay]. Since the external manifestation of the power of [Decay] in the Sighing Forest is a fog, when the space subsidence is observed by the living body, it appears as a group of concentrated fog, which is very similar to the door of some space channels.

But speaking of it, it can also be regarded as the door of the space channel.

Because as long as you can resist the space subsidence and pulling in it, you can quickly move from one end of the fog gate to the other end. From a certain perspective, it is somewhat similar to [Laughter and Mockery], but the latter only exists in the void and is safer.

The space channel in the fog gate is not stable. Except for the believers favored by [Decay], it is difficult for the lives of other beliefs to use this channel to complete the movement in space.

So it is an extremely incredible thing that the traces of the mushroom-footed man are cut off in the fog gate. This is tantamount to telling everyone that the mushroom-footed man they just found must be a believer of [Decay].

Although this can explain why he was not affected by the Sighing Tide, the question is, how could the mushroom-footed people be believers of [Decay]?

They were born to believe in [Prosperity]. This belief engraved in their genes cannot be changed after birth. For the mushroom-footed people, a group of gods, it is impossible to give up their lives and give up their beliefs.

So everyone was confused again in front of this door. Did they find the right way?

Is it possible that the hunter took the wrong way?

But this cold-faced hunter was obviously very confident in his tracking ability. He did not say a word and did not respond to everyone's questioning eyes or participate in the discussion. He just stood in the front vigilantly, guarding the surroundings for all teammates.

Looks like a hard-working guard.

"Is the baptism of new life useful for the erosion of the fog gate?" Cheng Shi asked quietly.

Hong Lin shook his head:

"It's useless. In the channel of space sinking, [Decay] is not erosion, but protection.

The power of [Decay] protects its believers from being pulled by the power of space, so they can use it to pass through. The baptism of new life is used to restrain [Decay]. If you enter it under this situation, you will only die faster."

"......"

Cheng Shi only expected it to be useless, but he didn't expect there would be side effects, so he curled his lips and looked at Zuo Qiu who was sandwiched between him and the big cat again.

"Brother Shi, why don't you take out the insect lamp just now and observe it?"

Zuo Qiu's face stagnated, and he found that he couldn't move forward or backward, so he had to pretend to be calm and said "um" and picked up the broken fluorescent lamp again.

At this time, Cheng Shi and the others looked at it carefully again, and the big cat's face changed as they looked at it.

"This is impossible!"

"What did you find?"

"The breath of [prosperity]!"

Hong Lin raised her thick claws, ejected a sharp nail, and gently tapped the little light blue fluorescent liquid left in the lantern.

"A very, very weak breath of [prosperity]. If it weren't for this little accumulation, I could hardly tell it."

Cheng Shi looked along her nails, but he didn't feel any [prosperity] at all.

The same was true for others, so Zuo Qiu asked in surprise: "Are you sure?"

"Hey, are you questioning my perception of [prosperity]? Are you sure?"

"......" This counterattack shut the shit officer up.

While speaking, Hong Lin seemed to have thought of something again. She suddenly squeezed out a trace of [prosperity] power from her fingertips, and then slowly threw it into the fluorescent liquid. However, she never thought that these [prosperity] powers would dissipate into the liquid as soon as they came into contact with it. Instead, the fluorescence emitted by the liquid became brighter because of this action.

"!!!"

Now everyone understood, this is clearly a lamp of faith that draws on [prosperity] as fuel!

No wonder the fluorescence is no longer bright, that's because the mushroom-footed man who once provided it with "lamp oil" has died.

But just when one question was answered, another bigger problem appeared.

Because everyone present clearly felt that a trace of [decay] power was evaporating from the fluorescent liquid in the lantern!

At this moment, Hong Lin was directly dumbfounded!

The wisp of [prosperity] she dropped was actually transformed into pure [decay] by this fluorescent liquid!

This shows that the insect lamp in the historian's hand is not just a lamp of faith, but a faith converter that blasphemes [prosperity] and offers [decay]!

Hiss——

"So, this mushroom-footed man just injected his own faith into the lantern while relying on the [decay] transformed by this lamp to walk out of the fog gate in front of us, right?"

Cheng Shi said his guess word by word with a solemn face., and then looked at Zuo Qiu who was holding the lamp in front of him.

"Brother Shit Officer, don't tell me you know nothing about this insect lamp!"

Zuo Qiu's face changed slightly, and he said with some shame:

"I really don't know the function of this lamp. It's just that it's rare to find something civilized underground, so I was tempted and collected it. This is definitely not a lie. Everyone, believe me, I have nothing to do with [prosperity] and [decay]. I'm just curious."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi frowned even more.

The truth.

The historian did not lie.

But this seems a bit too coincidental. He seems to feel that there is an invisible force pushing him forward again, but this time the force is more hidden.

"Okay, I believe you.

In this way, the situation is very clear. The dead mushroom-footed man entered the space channel from the other end of the fog gate with a lamp and walked out from this end. So if we want to find the so-called "spark", we have to go into the fog gate and go to the other end.

Now, we have a way, but I don't know if the little fluorescent liquid left can protect all of us and survive this space tunnel of unknown length.

Everyone, what do you think, whether to enter or not, give me a word."

After Cheng Shi finished speaking, he began to look at everyone's face, but what he didn't expect was that his teammates had no reaction at all, but looked at him at the same time.

"?"

No, what do you mean?

I am willing to analyze it for you, which has violated my bold words of being a slacker. How can you let me make a decision for you when you look at me like this?

Dream on!

You really think I am a tour guide. Don't historians know a lot? Go ahead!

What, you guys stole my slacker position, right?

Everyone was speechless for a moment, so the five people stared at each other. After staring for a long time, the atmosphere began to become awkward. Cheng Shi's eyes twitched and he turned to look at Hong Lin.

You are God's Chosen, sister. Look at what the God's Chosen of [War] is like. He made all the decisions for others without saying a word. What about you? You have become so big and you really think you are a cat?

Hong Lin saw Cheng Shi's eyes, sniffed and said in a muffled voice:

"You can even trick Zhen Yi. You can't make a wrong judgment. I believe you."

I believe your lies!

Cheng Shi gritted his teeth and wanted to punch the big cat, but he never thought that when Hong Lin's voice fell, everyone nodded, even the hunter who led the way with a cold face muttered to himself, "Believe it or not", and nodded silently and looked at Cheng Shi again.

It's bad, I was forced to do something. I shouldn't have said so much on the road just now.

Cheng Shi's face darkened, and then he patted Zuo Qiu's shoulder with his eyes rolling, saying:

"Then go in, first get rid of the baptism of the newborn, and then brother Shit Officer will lead the way with a lantern, and we will follow behind, how about this plan?

Who is in favor, who is against?

Those who are in favor don't need to express their opinions, those who are against can switch with brother Shit Officer, and walk in front with a lantern.

Let me see, well, you are the only one who is against, you can still go in front even if you switch with yourself.

So go ahead, brother Shit Officer, rest assured, you are our strongest meat shield."

"......"

"Oh, sorry, I said it wrong, we are your strongest backing!"

Zuo Qiu hadn't resisted so much, but after hearing this, his face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

This fate weaver doesn't seem to be joking!

Beeping time at the end of the chapter:

"Foolish Play" has a score of 9.7 with everyone's support and praise, which is a bit unbelievable. Thank you to every friend who likes Cheng Shi, and thank you to every friend who follows the update.

This copy may be slightly longer than the previous copy, because I need to add some information and lay some new pits. I will try my best to control the rhythm so that the friends who follow the update will not feel too bored.

After writing this book, the first volume will end, and the second volume will start a new journey. I am really flattered that so many friends like it after writing this number of words. Thank you again. Thank you.

To thank you for your love and to commemorate Cheng Xiaoshi's 9.7 points, I will add more tomorrow.

Don't ask why it's not today. If you ask, it's because I don't have time to write it...

Thank you again!
