Chapter 226 The Puppet Beast of the Medicine Garden
The sound seemed to appear out of thin air. Li Xuangang looked around and could not determine its exact source.
He stood on the spot, and the spiritual energy in his body had begun to gather towards the Eight Spider Green Light Sword in his hand.
On the other side, Zheng Da, who had received his instructions in advance, was standing in front of the two wooden frames. When he stretched out his hand, he found that the surface of the two wooden frames was protected by a small formation, making it impossible to take out the contents.
In fact, the level of this formation is not high. If you spend some time, you can force it open. However, due to the sudden changes in the surroundings at this time, Zangda was a little undecided, so he turned his head and looked at Li Xuangang.
Of course, Li Xuangang also discovered the situation at Zhengda. While he was wary of his surroundings, he signaled to him not to act rashly yet.
Just as he was thinking about what to do next, a burst of white light suddenly lit up in the four corners of the hall.
This white light was quite dazzling, and it suddenly enveloped all the surrounding objects.
When the white light dissipated, an ape-like creature about two feet tall appeared inside.
It has black-faced fangs, green and black coarse hair all over its body, and a little scarlet flashes from the two sunken eye sockets.
...
...
"This...is...puppetry?"
It was a murmur at first, but when he said the three words "puppetry", his tone had already risen.
Li Xuangang stared blankly at the four creatures that suddenly appeared. He couldn't help but be stunned. He relied on his own memory and speculated on their true identities with a slightly suspicious tone and eyes.
Since puppetry is popular among the sects and families in the central part of Chaoyang Continent, and the eastern border where Taiqiu Mountain is located is isolated by a natural barrier, Li Xuangang has never seen a real puppet in his many years of practicing Taoism.
As for the name Puppetry, it was because he had seen some relevant records from the books in the family library many years ago.
Judging from the above records, these four-headed ape-shaped creatures do match the characteristics of puppets, but since they have never seen them before, Li Xuangang was not sure for a while!
...
...
"Those who trespass into the important areas of the Alchemy Pavilion will die!"
"Those who trespass into the important areas of the Alchemy Pavilion will die!"
Mechanical and repetitive words came out of their mouths, accompanied by the dull sound of huge bodies stepping on the stone slabs.
Seeing the four-headed ape-like creature approaching the center step by step, and raising the long-handled battle ax in his hand, a faint layer of evil aura filled the whole body, and he also raised the black thunderbolt in his hand.
Li Xuangang stepped forward a certain distance, stood calmly behind Zong Da, and held his shoulders.
Immediately, he spread his spiritual consciousness to explore the reality of these four-headed ape-like creatures and further confirm whether they were the puppet beasts that he had guessed were refined using the puppetry technique.
However, just when Li Xuangang covered one of the ape-shaped creatures with his spiritual consciousness, before he could go deeper, the ape-shaped creature suddenly changed.
Its whole body suddenly began to tremble, and the scarlet light in its eyes began to flicker.
With a dense "creak" sound, the ape-like creature actually stopped on its own, and the long-handled battle ax raised in its hand also fell from its hand.
Under the incredulous gazes of Li Xuangang and Zheng Da, it actually became so silent.
His eyes suddenly became deep, staring closely at the ape-like creature that suddenly stopped moving.
But before they had time to think about what happened to the other party? The remaining three-headed ape-like creatures had suddenly accelerated and rushed towards them.
Without further ado, Zheng Da immediately rushed towards one of them, with the black thunderbolt lying in front of him, blocking the tomahawk, and the two immediately fell into a wrestling match.
Zhengda has a strong body, and his own strength is not weak. However, these ape-like creatures don't know where they got their power from. After the two sides wrestled, they were able to faintly suppress Zhengda.
Zheng Da obviously had more combat experience. He suddenly exerted force and pushed back the tomahawk hanging above his head a little, then turned around and slid from the side.
Suddenly losing its target, the ape-like creature couldn't hold back its strength and stumbled forward, and the heavy battle ax fell from the air.
There was a "bang" sound, and a big hole was made on the ground.
Zhengda, who had already circled behind the ape-like creature, did not take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack. Instead, his aura changed, his cheeks sunken, two long fangs protruded from his mouth, and his hair grew longer.
waist.
The rich black evil spirit spewed out from the body, surrounding the body surface, and the surrounding space suddenly became a bit cold.
Zhengda is serious!
The ape-like creature that came back to its senses obviously hadn't realized this yet, or it was impossible for it to realize this at all.
It just mechanically re-stabilized its body, then lifted the battle ax from the ground, and then launched another attack on Zhengda.
Facing the ape-like creature that rushed over again, Zhengda's expression remained unchanged, he just arched his body slightly, and then rushed out like a sharp sword.
Through the previous contact, he already had a rough idea of the opponent's strength, so he already had some confidence in the upcoming battle.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Zombie Da and the ape-like creature came into contact again.
However, this time Zhengda did not choose to confront the opponent head-on. Instead, he adjusted his body in a moment so that the opponent's battle ax fell close to his chest.
And he twisted his waist and moved the black thunderbolt that was dragged on the ground upwards. Originally, he wanted to cut off the opponent's entire arm directly, but he remembered the sound transmitted to his ears by the Supreme Lord before taking action, so he will
The dance trajectory of the black thunderbolt deviated slightly, heading towards the battle ax held by the ape-shaped creature.
After a sharp and ear-piercing sound, the ape-like creature's approximately one-foot-long battle ax was forcibly lifted away by Zhengda.
Zhengda also put the black thunderbolt back into his storage bag with his backhand, and started fighting with it with his bare hands.
The punches hit the flesh, and dull sounds came one after another. However, since Zheng Da was obviously much more flexible, most of the time, he was the one attacking and guiding the opponent's rhythm.
The fists fell on the ape-like creature like raindrops. After each hit, black evil energy would emerge and spread along the body surface.
As those evil spirits were sent into the body of the ape-like creature little by little, the latter's movements gradually began to become sluggish.
After realizing that the opponent's movements were no longer as quick as they were at the beginning, Zombie managed to temporarily break away from the battle group.
His dark eyes carefully examined the current state of the ape-like creature opposite him.
After a while, he determined that the other party was probably the kind of puppet beast that was refined with special techniques and materials, as His Majesty had guessed.
Because when he was fighting with him just now, when his fist touched the opponent's body, a metallic texture would be transmitted back.
Moreover, according to your Majesty's instructions, after I injected the evil spirit into its body, its actions were indeed affected to a certain extent.
Stimulating more evil energy, until the long black hair on the back began to fly in all directions. Zhengda easily dodged an attack and began to consciously drive his own evil energy into the opponent's body.
And in order to ensure the integrity of this ape-like creature as much as possible, he also tried to avoid its weak parts to attack.
However, in this way, the time required to subdue the opponent will naturally be longer.
...
At the other end of the hall, Li Xuangang's upper body was covered with light blue scales and he was fighting two ape-like creatures at the same time.
However, looking at its state, even though it was one against two, it still seemed to be able to move around with ease.
After all, these four-headed ape-shaped creatures are equivalent to the strength of the early stage of foundation building, and their fighting methods are extremely simple. If he did not want to preserve the integrity of their bodies as much as possible, Li Xuangang would have ended the battle long ago.
In fact, at the beginning, Li Xuangang was planning to call out Zong Er so that the battle could be resolved quickly.
Then spare some time to think of a way to unlock the formation that protects the three alchemy furnaces.
However, when he discovered that these four-headed ape-like creatures were probably the puppet beasts recorded in the classics, he immediately changed his mind.
As the family elder of the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain, Li Xuangang thought almost instinctively:
"If we can send their complete uniforms to Taiqiu Mountain, maybe someone in the family can repair them."
"And according to the news that my second uncle gave me some time ago, the Xinfang City of the Corpse Ghost Sect has almost been completed, and there is a teleportation array in it that connects to the central part of Chaoyang Continent."
"If you can't cultivate it well in the clan, you can still find an opportunity to take it to the central part of Chaoyang Continent to try. The four puppets have the strength of the early stage of foundation building. I think they still have some value."
Because of this, after weighing the situation in a very short period of time, he immediately sent a message to Zheng Da, asking him to try his best to ensure the integrity of the bodies of these ape-shaped puppets.
Then he immediately gave up the idea of releasing Zhong Er, because with Zhong Er's intelligence, it was difficult for him to guarantee that this guy could fully understand his instructions. If one accidentally tore one of the ape-shaped puppets into pieces, it would undoubtedly be
A great loss.
...
...
The light blue Gang Qi was stimulated in a small space, and then dispersed, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to become chaotic.
During the break in the fight, Li Xuangang glanced at Zheng Da and found that he had begun to try not to use the black thunderbolt, but to use his body to drive evil energy to attack.
Seeing Zhengda's move, Li Xuangang understood that Zhengda should be sure to subdue the opponent without destroying him.
And judging from the current fighting situation, it is only a matter of time before the latter is completely subdued.
Seeing that Zhongda no longer needed too much attention from him, he also began to deal with his side seriously.
Since they were already very familiar with the attack methods of these two ape-like creatures, the subsequent attacks became very efficient, and the opponent's defeat became a natural result.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Li Xuangang seized the opportunity and punched one of the ape-like creatures in the left chest. The latter shook a few times, and the red light in its eyes began to dissipate, and it stopped moving completely.
Following the same pattern, he subdued the last ape-like creature in this way, but he didn't know if the other party had any means of recovery.
When Li Xuangang dissipated Qing Ling's demonic power, Zhengda returned to his normal appearance, and beside him, the ape-shaped creature was motionless, as if it were a dead thing.
After instructing Zheng Da to gather the four ape-like creatures together and put away their battle axes, Li Xuangang began to look at each other at close range and carefully.
I used the Eight Spiders Green Light Sword to cut open their fur, and found that the inside was full of metal-like structures, and the joints of every joint were made of a material that Li Xuangang had never seen before.
After a while, Li Xuangang straightened up, moved away from an ape-like creature, turned to face Zheng Da and said:
"These should all be puppet beasts made using the puppet technique, but the materials inside are all second- and third-level materials, so their strength is equivalent to that of monks in the early stage of foundation building."
"As for the ape-shaped puppet that couldn't move right after it came out, I guess... it may be because too much time has passed..."
While recalling the records about the puppet beast, he took out four imprisonment talismans from the storage bag and handed them to Zangda, and ordered him to use these talismans to seal the four-headed ape-shaped puppet.
When Zhengda took the talisman and started to seal it, Li Xuangang turned around and walked to the three alchemy furnaces. He pressed his lips tightly and began to study how to break the formation that fixed them in place so that they could destroy the three alchemy furnaces.
