I learned from Sarah that a man named Baiji came to Loulan three years ago, which is also the pseudonym of Red Sand Scorpion.
The reason why I changed my name is probably because I didn’t want to expose my identity and cause trouble before the production of the Red Secret Technique was completed.
Scorpion is much more straightforward than Centipede, the boss of Lost Tower.
Perhaps it was because this guy had an impatient personality and didn't like to wait. After arriving in Loulan and finding the specific location of the remaining dragon veins, he killed Sara's mother directly.
Then clear out those who resisted.
Now he is hunting down Sara again, who is investigating the death of the previous Queen of Loulan.
His purpose is very simple and pure, to use Loulan as a base to complete his secret skills, complete his army of puppets, and complete his eternal art.
…
Next to the rock pile, a bonfire crackled.
"So we're on the same page now?"
"I still have three companions. When they arrive, let's act together!"
Namikaze Minato said uncertainly.
Xili stopped hammering the stone and gave him a neutral look.
Who the hell agrees with you?
Xili's initial target was the Dragon Vein and the Red Sand Scorpion, while Brother Kuainan's mission was to collect all information about the Bull Demon King.
However, Seeli did not object to Namikaze Minato and the Inorika Butterfly Team acting together.
Don’t give up free thugs for free. Who knows how many puppet hearts that guy Scorpion has used the power of dragon veins to create?
"Do you really want to go to Loulan? Baiji is very capable, and he is very smart, ambitious and cruel."
At first, Sara hoped to get help, but now she began to hesitate.
Only those who have seen that guy from Baiji know how terrifying he is.
Although Loulan is not a big country, she believes that with the strength of Baiji, Loulan can be easily captured by one person.
In front of me was a skinny sissy and a boy with horns.
Xili's strength
Sara secretly glanced at the stone wall where a big crater had been made by the fist. Anyway, she felt that it was very strong and reliable.
And Xili has the aura of dragon veins on his body.
As for the other golden retriever sissy
Sara was not very optimistic about Namikaze Minato, but he was willing to help her after all, and she would not express her disdain in her heart.
Sara sighed secretly.
The combat power is completely disproportionate.
Noticing Sara's distrustful eyes, Namikaze Minato had a black line on his face. How despised was he?
Who told you that guys with full body muscles are more effective in combat?
What the hell is the basis for judging strength based on vicious looks?
No matter what, I decided to wear a mask when I went to Loulanbo Fengshui Gate this time!
If you enter another country without authorization, you must hide your identity.
Once discovered, it is likely to be a diplomatic issue.
"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong. Although his appearance is not reassuring, our winning rate will be greatly improved with him."
Xili comforted him honestly.
Namikaze Minato: ""
What does it mean to not look reassuring? This sentence is completely redundant, okay?!
but
Namikaze Minato could tell from Seeli's words that the other party seemed to understand him quite well, and was even more confident in him than he himself was!
…
There are countless tall towers standing there, like a forest of steel and stone in the desert.
With its unique architectural style and the towering top pointing straight into the sky, the former Loulan actually gave people a feeling of looking up.
Near noon on the second day, Xili, Namikaze Minato, and Sara arrived at Loulan.
Loulan is controlled by Scorpion, and there are basically no guards.
Most of the guards come from Perpetual Golems equipped with Golem Hearts.
Scorpion only needs to set the spell commands and does not require much control. At the same time, he can also change the command control to manual control.
Whatever he wants, he can do.
"Xiao, uh, do you know where Baiji is?"
Xi Li unfolded the panoramic view. Loulan is a small country, but it is not so small that God's perspective can completely cover it.
It would probably take Xili alone a lot of time to figure out the architectural layout here.
However, these are easy for Sara, who has lived in Loulan for more than ten years.
"Everyone is in the palace, but he is always the one looking for me. I don't know where to look for him."
"Then how are you sure he is at the palace?"
"I, I'm not sure, I just have this feeling."
"Is it a deliberate illusion? Then you can be sure that the person you see often is not Baiji's true form. He is the most powerful puppet master."
In Xi Li's impression, Xie is a wretched guy who would rather hide in Fei Liuhu for more than ten years until others don't know his real appearance.
How could Sarah have seen the true form of Scorpion?
She thought that Scorpion's true form was just a puppet disguised as its true form.
"You know Baiji very well? Can you tell me about him?"
Namikaze Minato was a careful person, and he noticed that from the beginning, Seeli was not surprised by anything about Hyakuki, but seemed to understand it very well.
This is good news, if Xili is willing to share the intelligence of Baiji.
"A very powerful puppet master, a puppet master even more powerful than the old woman Chiyo from Sunagakure Village. You have seen the big guy who was chasing Sara before."
"It's not a physical connection in the traditional sense, but a magnetic connection."
"Through the heart of the puppet, it is the purple ball of light that provides the core of energy. I call it the heart of the puppet."
"A regenerable puppet created by providing energy from the puppet's heart and using a special alloy that can be quickly reorganized as the skeleton."
"I'm afraid there's more than one of those things."
Since they decided to join forces, Xili had no need to hide the information.
As for not mentioning the names of the Red Sand Scorpions, that's because it's not necessary. Anyway, when they finally return to the future world, their existence will be erased.
Since Scorpio likes the name Baiji, then use Baiji.
"No wonder you want the puppet heart. Are there any experimental results?"
When Namikaze Minato remembered that he had to deal with the armored behemoth, Seeli specifically asked not to destroy the puppet's heart, but to take away the puppet's heart.
"You really want to know?"
Seely asked rhetorically.
At the same time, he took out the Puppet Heart from his ninja tool bag, a ball of light emitting purple light, which seemed a little smaller than the size of his previous fist.
Under the curious eyes of Minato Namikaze and Sara.
The purple light ball condensed and became smaller in the palm of my heart at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally there was only a black thing like a core, only the size of a fingernail.
"The energy has been absorbed by you? No wonder you have the aura of dragon veins on your body."
Sarah exclaimed, and the next second she realized that she had spilled the beans, and she quickly covered her mouth, looking like she was trying to hide it.
However, neither Seeli nor Namikaze Minato seemed to notice what she said.
Seeing this scene, Sarah secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
