Chapter 1963: The Mysterious Puppet Fight
Several months later, one morning in Jilinkong Realm.
Three strange birds suddenly jumped out from the black fog at the edge of the earth and landed on a reddish-brown Gobi desert, scaring a jackal monster that was devouring carrion and causing it to flee in a hurry.
Then, three figures jumped down from the three strange birds respectively. They were Luo Hong and his two companions!
"We have finally left the Grayscale Islands and arrived at the Brown Valley Continent."
Looking at the endless land ahead, Zi Ling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She had not had an easy time in the past few months.
Although Luo Hong and Zhu Yan are there to protect them, most of the monsters in the Jilin Sky Realm have little intelligence and often travel in groups. Due to their insufficient cultivation, they do not have decent beast cores in their bodies.
Therefore, Luo Hong usually would not waste time stopping to clean them up, which resulted in the three of them being chased by various beasts half of the time along the way.
Luo Hong and Zhu Yan are very powerful, so they naturally don't feel anything, but Zi Ling can always feel the threat, so much so that she is now physically and mentally exhausted.
Compared to the Gray Scale Islands, the spatial pressure of the Brown Valley Continent is ten times stronger. If Zi Ling had not refined the bottle of Dragon Scale Pill that Luo Hong gave her in the past few months, she would probably be unable to move now.
It only took Luo Hong and Zhu Yan a moment to adapt, and their bodies got used to the sudden increase in pressure, and no abnormality could be seen while they were walking.
"Here, this time it's all thanks to you guys."
After arriving on the mainland, the three-headed monster birds that were captured earlier were no longer needed. Luo Hong lifted the curse on their souls with a thought.
Just as they were stunned, Luo Hong reached into his backpack and threw out three blood-red pills.
This is the Blood Ganoderma Pill specially used to cultivate high-level spiritual beasts. To these three strange birds of average cultivation, it is no different from an elixir of life.
As soon as they smelled the fragrance of the medicine, the three birds instinctively opened their mouths and swallowed the pill. Immediately, the blood in their bodies began to surge, and their aura increased rapidly!
Luo Hong did not wait for the three strange birds to finish refining the medicinal power, but immediately let Zhu Yan lead the way and began to move inland.
However, the three of them had only walked for half a day when they heard bursts of roars coming from a desolate basin in front of them, as if something huge was hitting the earth.
Looking at Zhu Yan's gaze, Luo Hong just thought for a moment and nodded.
After all, whether it is the monsters causing trouble in the basin or the cultivators taking action here, it is worth Luo Hong's visit.
The former would allow him to obtain a high-level beast core, while the latter would allow him to start his next plan.
After an incense stick of time, the three of them arrived at the edge of the basin and looked down at the same time.
They saw that the situation in the basin was far more complicated than they had expected. Not only was there a magical beast emitting Taiyi-level mysterious aura, but there were also four monks who clearly belonged to two sides!
Judging from the situation, one of the parties was probably hunting the Taiyi monster here, which attracted the other party, causing the current melee.
"What a scaly earth dragon! This beast is not only extremely strong, but also has a strong ability to burrow into the ground. It is also ferocious and cunning by nature. It is not easy to deal with!"
Looking at the demon beast that was covered with thick reddish-brown scales, over a hundred feet long, and shaped like an earthworm, Zhu Yan couldn't help but frown.
If he had made the decision himself, Zhu Yan would not have provoked this scaly earth dragon. Although he was strong enough to defeat the giant beast, it would be difficult to kill it.
As long as they fail to kill it, they will have trouble in the rest of their journey and must be careful about where they step at all times.
"I didn't expect to encounter cultivators from Xuancheng and Kuicheng at the same time. We don't have to rush to take action. Let's see what methods they have."
At the same time, Luo Hong was more interested in the four monks who were fighting over the scaly-armored earth dragon. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. This was obviously a rare opportunity.
Although they were only a few dozen miles away from the battlefield, the sudden increase in spatial pressure on the Brown Valley Continent further suppressed the spiritual consciousness of these cultivators.
Luo Hong's Daluo Yuanshen can only detect within two hundred miles at present. It is already very good if these four Taiyi cultivators can detect the movements within twenty miles.
Therefore, Luo Hong was not worried that they would be discovered easily. He found a relatively clean stone and sat down cross-legged.
Seeing this, Zhu Yan and Zi Ling had no other objections, so they sat cross-legged on the left and right of Luo Hong.
In the basin, the melee was getting more and more intense. At present, the two shirtless strong men with dense gray scales on their bodies were gradually falling into a disadvantage.
This was mainly because their opponents were two humanoid puppets made of unknown materials and they did not emit any scent of flesh and blood.
Therefore, the attack of the Scaled Earth Dragon will take better care of both of them.
As for the masters of the two puppets, they were all hiding in the dark. Although Luo Hong could sense their positions, he could not see through their figures.
The battles among the three parties were all close combat, and each blow was so powerful that if it happened in the outside world, it would have caused the sky to collapse and the earth to collapse.
However, in this empty space with thousands of scales, it only caused the basin and its surrounding areas to feel like an earthquake.
As he continued to observe, Luo Hong discovered that the two gray-scale monks had extremely rich experience in fighting. Whenever they encountered danger, they could come up with a way of dealing with it that would make Luo Hong's eyes light up.
However, the bodies of the two puppets were extremely strong, and even after suffering several heavy blows, they did not malfunction at all.
Moreover, at this point in the fierce battle, the auras of the two gray-scale monks were no longer at their peak, but the two puppets were still very strong, making it increasingly difficult for the two to deal with them.
Obviously, if they continue to waste time like this, they will all be exhausted to death.
Then, after a moment of eye contact, dozens of mysterious orifices on the right arms of the two men lit up at the same time.
Then, they put their palms together to form a knife, and their right arms thrust out like lightning, piercing through the chest of the puppet in front of them.
With a grab and a pull, they took out a bunch of odds and ends from the chests of the two puppets, which immediately had a great impact on the movements of the two puppets.
However, they were quite familiar with the puppets in Puppet City and knew that this could only temporarily injure them. It would not be long before their internal structure would change on its own and restore their full mobility. This would at most reduce their strength.
So, the two of them immediately swung their right arms that they had just pulled out and chopped at the heads of the two puppets at high speed.
After two "bang" sounds, the heads of the two puppets exploded, and messy parts scattered everywhere.
The entire process happened in a split second, but this method of killing a powerful enemy instantly was obviously not something that could be used at will.
Just as the mysterious orifices on their right arms had recovered their normal brightness, their bodies began to dry up at a speed visible to the naked eye, obviously having consumed a lot of their essence and blood.
This also caused their profound aura to drop sharply.
At this moment, two subtle sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and two tiny golden rays shot out from an unmanned place, hitting the two men's eyebrows directly.
Although the two gray-scale monks tried their best to dodge, one reason was that the golden light was too fast, and the other was that they had just entered the state of backlash of the secret technique and had not yet adapted to this weakness, so their body's reaction was affected.
Realizing that they had no way to escape, the two gray-scale monks couldn't help but reveal despair on their faces. After all, they knew too well what those two golden rays were.
However, the next moment, the tingling sensation did not come as expected, but instead two strange auras appeared beside him.
"It turns out that the people in Puppet City like to use this kind of shady tricks."
Luo Hong and Zhu Yan immediately appeared in front of the two gray-scale monks, each holding a slender golden needle in their hands.
It turned out that Luo Hong had anticipated what would happen next when the two of them exploded and destroyed the puppets.
And he is determined to join Xuancheng, so these two gray-scale monks who can lead the way naturally cannot die.
So it was only natural for him and Zhu Yan to rescue the two of them.
"Let's go separately!"
Suddenly, a voice was heard from the deserted place, and then two monks in white hooded robes suddenly appeared and immediately rushed in different directions.
Before leaving, they threw out a fire bomb to anger the scaly earth dragon.
Storage bags cannot be used in the Jilin Void Realm, so as long as there are no other puppets around them, then there really is nothing.
The Xuancheng side obviously had two more strong reinforcements, and it was obviously not a wise move to fight two against four, so a decisive retreat became the inevitable choice.
But they actually worked in vain, after all, Luo Hong didn't want to go through the trouble of hunting them down.
He didn't need to make any pledge of allegiance when he went to Xuancheng.
"Who are you?!"
The two gray-scale monks did not relax their vigilance even though Luo Hong and Zhu Yan saved them. They immediately stepped back and questioned them.
"My two Taoist friends, now is not the time to talk. Let's deal with this scaly-armored earth dragon first."
After saying that, Luo Hong winked at Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan understood what was going on, and flew up and kicked the scaly earth dragon away, then held the flaming long sword and chopped at it violently.
As he had used all his strength, three hundred and sixty mysterious orifices on Zhu Yan's body immediately lit up, leaving the two gray-scale monks stunned.
After all, they had never heard of a person like Zhu Yan in the Ji Lin Sky Realm!
Under the suppression of absolute strength, the scaly-armored earth dragon was quickly chopped by Zhu Yan, leaving huge wounds all over its body, and red blood flowed all over the ground.
The feeling of physical weakness immediately made the giant beast want to retreat, and it lowered its head and was about to burrow into the ground.
Zhu Yan wanted to stop it, but the scaly earth dragon had thick skin and flesh, and he couldn't seriously injure it in such a short time.
Moreover, the scaly earth dragon drilled into the ground very quickly. Zhu Yan only had time to cut it with his sword before half of its body was above the ground.
Fortunately, Luo Hong moved at this time. He jumped into a pit. All the mysterious orifices on his body lit up, and black lightning flashed on his raised arms.
Immediately afterwards, with a "bang", Luo Hong punched the ground hard, but it did not cause much damage, but instead stirred up a circle of black lightning.
"Boom!"
This time, when the left fist struck down, a circle of black lightning was also generated.
Then, a "dong dong" sound began to sound at a fixed frequency, as if Luo Hong was using the earth as a drum, beating it non-stop!
Finally, after hitting it thirty-six times, Luo Hong suddenly gathered his strength and smashed the ground with both fists.
After this strike, Luo Hong did not raise his fists again, nor did he stir up new lightning. Instead, after brewing for a moment, he shouted fiercely with a ferocious expression:
"rise!"
In an instant, the thirty-six black lightning bolts that had previously surged out were all retracted, and at the same time, a giant beast hundreds of feet long was pulled out from the ground.
Amidst the countless flying dirt and rocks, Zhu Yan immediately raised his sword and slashed at the still confused scaly-armored earth dragon, causing it to suffer a great loss.
Afterwards, the scaly-armored earth dragon, knowing that it could not escape, became extremely ferocious, roaring and charging towards Zhu Yan with all its might.
But the gap in strength is there, and it can't be bridged by just shouting twice.
Then, after more than half an incense stick of time, the beast fell to the ground helplessly like a collapsed pillar.
Zhu Yan was covered in blood. He stepped forward and slashed twice with his sword, then half of his body was inserted into the wound of the scaly earth dragon, and he finally took out a red beast core the size of a child's fist!
Then, he jumped back to Luo Hong and threw the beast core in his hand over without hesitation.
Luo Hong took the beast core and was not in a hurry to refine it. He casually put it in his backpack, then looked at the two gray-scale monks and said with a smile:
"My two Taoist friends, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
But please answer a few questions for us after we answer them.”
Hearing this, the two Gray Scale Monks looked at each other, and finally the older one bowed and said:
"My name is Xu Yinglong. Thank you for saving my life. You two should not be cultivators in the Jilin Void Realm, right?"
“Yes, we were just exiled here by the Yeyang Dynasty, and there is one of our companions over there.
How did you see that, fellow Taoist?"
Luo Hong nodded and replied.
“This fellow Taoist’s cultivation has reached the Heavenly Gate of the Mysterious Dao. With such strength, he cannot be an unknown person whether in our Xuancheng or in Puppet City!
My name is Xu Yinghu, may I know your name?"
The younger gray-scale monk showed admiration on his face and bowed to Zhu Yan.
"My name is Zhu Yan."
Zhu Yan replied coldly.
"My two fellow Daoists, since you were willing to help us earlier, you must have known some of the situations in Jilin Void Realm in advance. Are you interested in joining Xuancheng?"
Xu Yinglong asked with a slightly excited tone.
"Both Luo and Brother Zhu are Xuan cultivators, so naturally we both want to join Xuan City, but we don't know what the rules are?"
Luo Hong asked immediately after answering.
“In addition to the main city, our Xuancheng has four subsidiary cities, namely Qingyang City, Tongyu City, Xuanzhi City and Baiyan City.
Each subsidiary city has a city lord, and all of them obey the orders of Lord Erqi, the lord of the main city.
My brother and I are the personal guards of the Lord of Baiyan City. If you are willing to join, you can immediately get the same position.
There is only one rule, and that is once you enter Xuancheng, you must not betray!"
Xu Yinglong obviously tried to win over the tunnel.
