This puppet is covered in thick armor, holding a large shield in its left hand and a mountain-breaking ax in its right hand.

He is more than two feet tall and looks like an iron tower.

"This puppet is specially used to explore paths and take beatings. Let alone those gadgets in the Bone Palace, it is a piece of cake to attack a flying warship head-on."

The cannon fodder puppet walked straight towards the cave without hesitation.

After entering the cave, the entire low mountain began to tremble violently.

Dust and gravel are constantly falling from the top of the cave, and it seems that it will collapse at any time.

The cannon fodder puppet didn't care and continued walking deeper into the cave.

After going hundreds of feet into the cave, we found the entrance to a secret realm.

On both sides of the entrance to the secret realm, there are more than a dozen strange sculptures, including humanoids and various animal shapes.

At this time, the cave was no longer covered by the formation, and Wang Daoyuan could penetrate with his spiritual consciousness.

When he discovered these sculptures, Wang Daoyuan looked a little solemn.

Zhou Luan was a little surprised: "What's wrong? Are there any difficult enemies inside?"

Wang Daoyuan shook his head: "It's not an enemy, it's just that something extraordinary appeared inside. Do you still remember the two stone statues in the Soul Realm?"

Zhou Luan nodded: "Of course I remember, those two stone statues were too strong back then, and the two of us spent almost all our wealth to barely win.

Why, are there such stone statues here?"

"There are more than a dozen stone statues on both sides of the entrance to the secret realm inside.

These stone statues are very similar to the stone statues in the Soul Realm, but I don't know what the situation is.

Of course, these stone statues are left unattended.

I don’t know how many years have passed, but most likely it doesn’t have much power anymore.

If it were on the level of the Soul Realm, it wouldn't be completely wiped out by the stone statues with the capabilities of the Bone Palace.

How much more power this stone statue has, we still have to try it to find out."

After that, use your spiritual consciousness to control the cannon fodder puppet to test these stone statues.

The cannon fodder puppet held the shield in front of him and found the most broken humanoid stone statue.

The mountain ax in his right hand was raised high and struck hard at the humanoid puppet.

There was a rumble, like a thunderous explosion.

The entire cave was shaking violently, and cracks appeared on the rocks on the cave floor.

On the low hill outside, gravel kept rolling down.

The cannon fodder puppet's ax was so powerful that its iron tower-like body was pushed back more than ten feet by the force of the shock, and it almost hit another stone statue.

But the stone statue chopped by it was unscathed.

The stone statue was originally full of cracks and had many defects.

It seems that even the slightest disturbance can cause the stone statue to completely collapse.

The cannon fodder puppet was carefully crafted by Wang Daoyuan, and the power of this ax was enough to severely injure a late-stage monk in the form of a god.

Even mountains without high-level spiritual veins can be flattened with this axe.

But such power cannot harm a stone statue that is about to be broken.

Wang Daoyuan's face was as sinking as water, and he used his spiritual consciousness to explore the situation of each stone statue.

More than a hundred breaths passed, and there was no movement from these stone statues.

Only then did he feel relieved. If this stone statue was the same as the stone statues in the Soul Realm, he could attack on his own.

More than a dozen stone statues took action together. Even if he broke through to the Mahayana realm, he could only give up the cannon fodder puppet and escape with all his strength.

“The two stone statues in the Soul Realm required complex formations to activate them.

The stone statue received a heavy blow but still remained motionless. Other monks were allowed to enter the secret realm. Most of the time, the formation was damaged and they were unable to move the stone statue.

Without the formation to drive it, no matter how powerful the stone statue is, it is just a decoration."

Zhou Luan finally felt relieved: "Then let's go in?"

"Go into the cave first, wait for the puppet to explore the situation inside the secret realm, and then enter the secret realm.

There are so many stone statues with extraordinary origins here, which should have been left by masters many years ago.

Within the secret realm, there may be a cave or a place for an expert to live, so you must not take it lightly."

Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan took Yun Yi into the cave and stayed outside the entrance to the secret realm.

Wang Daoyuan inspected more than a dozen stone statues one by one, but found no clues.

"Yunyi, you are more sensitive to souls. See if there is anything similar to souls on these stone statues."

Yun Yi shook his big head: "I've already checked it, and I didn't sense any souls appearing.

As long as I am here, no wandering soul within a thousand miles will dare to approach.

Even if you are hidden in these stone statues, you will be affected."

The cannon fodder puppet walked towards the entrance of the secret realm and entered it. In front of the puppet was an endless sea.

There are no islands, not even rocks.

There were waves on the sea. The puppet watched for a long time, but did not see even a living creature.

There is only water in the sea. There are no coral reefs that are common in the Seven Star Sea Cultivation World, and there are no swimming fish or birds.

At this moment, a dark cloud appeared out of thin air in the sky.

The clouds are rapidly expanding, brewing a force that suppresses everything.

Looking at this posture, it seems a bit like a robbery.

The cannon fodder puppet raised the ax in his hand and slashed towards the sea below.

The powerful and heavy blow fell, but there was no movement on the sea surface, not even a wave was stirred up.

Even the spiritual spring water derived from spiritual water cannot produce even a splash of water under the full force of the battle power in the late stage of divine transformation.

There is no doubt that the scene in front of me is an illusion.

The puppet's spiritual consciousness is its biggest weakness. It is completely idiotic to try to get rid of the illusion by one's own ability.

It stayed where it was, quietly observing the changes in front of it.

After the calamity cloud formed in the sky, thunder actually fell down one after another.

It's just that this thunder is not simple. Every thunder and lightning is gray with purple, which is somewhat similar to the ancient thunder tribulation.

This thunder has no target and keeps striking everywhere.

After a quarter of an hour of tossing, hundreds of lightning bolts fell from the clouds, but none of them hit the cannon fodder puppet.

At this time, in a stone room outside the illusion, two god-transformation monks were staring at a bronze mirror.

One of the middle-aged monks asked: "What's going on? Someone broke into the illusion array, but this thunderbolt couldn't find its target."

Another young monk was also puzzled: "I don't know what's going on. This formation has been passed down for thousands of years, maybe it's damaged.

The spiritual energy stored in the formation is limited. If it continues to be consumed like this, it will not take long before the spiritual energy is exhausted.

Relying solely on the spiritual power generated by the spiritual veins, we can barely maintain the illusion formation and cannot attack."

The middle-aged monk sighed helplessly: "Then stop attacking first, the inheritance of our Bone Palace is still too superficial.

After finding this secret place for many years, I can only barely control the formation.

It is still beyond our power to repair the damaged parts of the formation."

The young monk came to a stone platform, sat down cross-legged, and began to form seals in his hands.

After a while, the thunder around the cannon fodder puppet completely disappeared, and even the calamity cloud completely dissipated.

The cannon fodder puppet searched everywhere in the illusion and found no breakthrough.

Then, he took out three jade charms.

These three jade charms are divided into three colors: white, yellow and red. The cannon fodder puppet thought for a moment and crushed the yellow jade charms into pieces.

At this time, Wang Daoyuan was outside the entrance to the secret realm, observing the stone statues, and suddenly sensed something strange in the Qiankun Ring.

His spiritual consciousness penetrated into it and found that the yellow jade talisman was broken.

"The puppet is in trouble, but it is not in great danger. It is probably trapped."

Zhou Luan asked: "Then what should we do?"

Wang Daoyuan took the cloned Demon Prison out: "The Demon Prison is now in the late stage of becoming a god. In the spirit bead space, there is plenty of time to study the formation.

His attainments in formations are probably still above mine.

Let him go in and investigate, and even if there is some clever formation inside, he will still have a chance to escape unscathed."
