Chapter 43 The Communication Puppet
"Don't worry," Paltlock said: "Leave this question to me. Before that, stop them."
"No problem!" Su Chen replied.
With the lift of his left hand, a large area of Mars overflowed, and a phoenix of flames had begun to take shape and rushed towards the mountain wall. The huge impact turned into a wave of flames, causing the rushing insects to plunge into the sea of fire.
At the same time, Paltlock had already raised most of his soul from the blade, pointing his blurred finger at Su Chen: "Concentrate your mental power and follow my will!"
A thought has entered Su Chen's body, which is Paltlock's will.
The next moment, Su Chen's mental power had flowed under Patlock's will, and it was combined in a special way and quickly formed.
Soon, a brand new spiritual source technology appeared on Su Chen.
Su Chen quickly knew what kind of source technology this was.
The soul is strong!
As the name suggests, the wall of the mind is to use mental power to build a spiritual barrier and protect yourself.
Su Chen’s previous approach was to use his own mental power to fight the other party, which was like he would consume as much as the other party consumed, so he consumed a lot.
But now that his mind is strong, his mental power has greatly improved its defense effect and greatly reduced his consumption.
Su Chen quickly drank the awakening potion to recover his consumption, and then resisted the insect group and immediately felt much more relaxed.
In this way, Su Chen could finally let go, waves of fire phoenix magical powers surged out, hitting the mountain wall, burning the insects to scream.
I don’t know how long it took to burn, but suddenly my ears became clear. Su Chen could no longer hear the harsh and sharp sound. There was no more insect tides in the mountain walls. I knew that this wave of insects had been completely wiped out.
The tunnel was full of insect corpses, and a disgusting smell came from the burnt insects.
Su Chen endured the stench and picked out a few intact rings from the insect swarm.
"Thank you, Paltlock, thanks to you this time." Su Chen said.
"You're welcome, this has always been the opportunity I'm looking forward to. If there was no such situation in front of you, you wouldn't have left my body to control, right?" Paltlock said.
"Sure enough, this is why you invented this spiritual source technology but haven't told me? Are you waiting for an opportunity? What do you want?" Su Chen asked.
"As you know, a real body. But it takes a lot of preparation to complete this step. For example, feel the process of encroachment first."
Su Chen understood: "So are you taking the opportunity to feel some changes when controlling my body?"
"To be precise, it is to feel resistance. I can feel that even if you lent me your body to use, your body is still repelling me, which is quite powerful. I can't tell you whether it's like you or others. But if you give me a puppet body that can move freely, I can do this research on myself." Paltlock replied.
"Well, I understand what you mean. So, you are tired of being a spectator and teacher, and want to have your own laboratory, right?"
"I am your best assistant choice, which is more suitable than Steel Rock and Death Shadow."
"I admit this." Su Chen nodded: "Okay, just as I promised you, I will find a puppet for you."
"No need to look for it, there is it here." Paltlock said.
"What did you say?" Su Chen was stunned: "Have you discovered something?"
"Yes." Paltlock replied: "Don't think I'm hiding you. I just realized what this place was."
Hearing Paltlock's words, Su Chen's eyes lit up: "You mean, this place is related to the ancient Austrian clan?"
"No, it's longer than that." Paltlock replied: "It's related to the original beast."
"What did you say?" Su Chen was shocked.
"This is the burial place of a primitive beast."
———————————————
In the deep mine, Su Chen and Paltlock walked slowly.
Through conversation with Paltlock, Su Chen gradually realized that the bottom of Pingtian City was once the burial place of a primordial beast.
This original beast is called the Gold-Devouring Fang.
The Gold-eating Fang, like its name, feeds on metal. Its body also contains a large amount of metal, and its surface layer directly evolves into an extremely hard and changeable metallic layer.
Not to mention in the era when the original beast was rampant, even now, if this original beast is still alive and stands there and is someone fighting, no one can break its defense.
The death of the Gold-Devouring Fang is quite dramatic.
After the great changes in the world, it fell into a deep sleep and buried underground, as if it was dead. Over time, no one knew its existence gradually.
As time goes by, the Aoshi Empire rises.
They attacked everywhere across the continent, occupying territory, plundering resources, and strengthening themselves.
Occasionally, there are times when you kick the iron plate.
This happened a thousand five hundred years before Paltlock's death.
A team of great arcane artists came to the central and southern part of the continent and discovered a rare metal mine in a place called the Hurricane Plateau.
These great arcane masters focus on research on the direction of puppets. This rare metal can help them strengthen puppets, so they settle down here and start digging minerals.
They were digging happily.
And extreme happiness will lead to sadness.
"I guess the kind of mine they dug should be the surface of the skin of the Gold-eating Fang." Su Chen said.
"Yes. Not only is the cortex of the Gold Eater Fang, if I guess correctly, the current Xingtan Gold Mining Veins and Moonlight Stone Mining Veins should also be transformed from the bones and flesh of the Gold Eater Fang. The veins in this entire area are actually all Gold Eater Fang." Paltlock replied sighingly: "My ignorant tribes only know how to mine, but they don't know what they messed with. As the mine cave digs deeper and deeper, that day, the Gold Eater Fang finally woke up. Can you think of that ending..."
Su Chen nodded: "Yes, I can think of it. I'm just curious. Since this is the case, why can the news still spread, and how did the Gold-Devouring Fang die?"
"Because of the puppets," Patrock said: "Although the arcanes were killed by the Gold-eating Fangs, the puppets they left behind played a big role at that time."
"Did the puppet kill the Gold-eating Fang?"
"No, don't get me wrong. No one can kill the original beasts except themselves. The puppet just survived..."
In the past few years, the Aoshi Empire had countless powerful inventions, and puppets were one of them.
In that era when countless colorful and great inventions were created, arcane puppets once became the mainstream of great arcane masters, and various puppets appeared one after another, emerging one after another.
This great arcane sected by the Gold-Devouring Fang has a very special puppet.
Note that it is special rather than powerful.
"Communication puppet? Do you mean that a communication puppet survived in that situation?" Su Chen said in surprise.
If Patrock said that it was another puppet that survived, it would be fine, but Patrock was talking about the communication puppet.
Patterlock smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the communication puppet. In the prosperous era of the Ao tribe, the communication puppet was precisely one of the most peak puppets. You should know that at the heyday of the Ao Empire, we thought we could invent all external objects to meet our needs. We made various creations and inventions. We longed to be able to fly and hide in the sky, and we also longed to ignore the obstacles of space and freely transmit and call. Before the teleportation beyond distance appears, the first thing is to call beyond distance, so that the world is no longer far away and the world is close to you."
"Okay, don't lyricize, just tell me what's going on?"
"The Ao tribe has created powerful communication capabilities, so that the communication distance of communication puppets can be far greater than what you have now, which gives the Aoshi Empire a powerful exploration ability. If they want to learn more about the world and don't plan to take risks, then it's simple, just send a communication puppet over there."
Su Chen understood: "There are countless dangerous areas in this world."
"Yes, this requires the communication puppet to have strong survivability and even adaptability. The team of arcane masters has such a communication puppet." Paltlock said: "This puppet survived tenaciously and passed the news outside, so that we knew all this."
"A communication puppet? After surviving? How did it survive?"
No matter how strong the survival ability of a puppet is, it cannot be stronger than that of an original beast.
So how can it survive?
"It gave up all the metal components on its body. The Gold-Eating Fang only ate metal and attacked only lives that were harmful to it. After the communication puppet gave up all its metal components, it no longer met the target of the Gold-Eating Fang's attack, so it let go of the puppet. After devouring the arcane who disturbed its sleep, the Gold-Eating Fang returned to the ground to sleep for a long time. The puppet was also taken in during the collapse of the sky and the earth and sent these messages underground."
There was such an operation? Su Chen was also shocked.
"It must be the instruction given by a great arcane." Paltlock added.
"How did the Gold-Devouring Fang die?"
"It's old age and may also be related to its awakening this time. There are always some original beasts that just fall asleep and can never wake up again. And we know all this through that puppet."
"You mean that the puppet is always in operation?" Su Chen asked in surprise.
"Yes, it has been operating for 182 years. It has lost its metal structure, lost its ability to move, and has also stagnated all its energy consumption. It just sends a piece of peripheral information every time. At first it was just a repetition of mechanical information, until one day, a message was sent that the Gold-eating Fang is heading towards death, and it will be completely ended in three thousand years at most, and that is also its last news." Paltlock said.
"How did it know that the Gold-Eating Fang is dying?" Su Chen was a little curious.
The mining methods of the great arcane masters before did not detect the existence of the Gold-eating Fang. How did this communication puppet know now?
