Volume 1 Chapter 61 The Knife
Jiang Yun, who was walking through the jungle, carefully let the puppet go in front and followed carefully behind the puppet.
He was a little excited but also mostly nervous. The previous battle was in the city anyway. As a local who has lived in Wushen City for more than ten years, he was familiar with the environment and could fight more comprehensively.
But now he is in the jungle. Having lived in Wushen City since he was a child, he has no experience in jungle survival?
So Jiang Yun is now very energetic.
"According to the information, the most numerous monsters in the outer area are not ferocious beasts, but combat puppets in the foundation-building realm. These puppets include melee combatants and long-distance combatants, including archers and elemental masters. After defeating them, their corpses will automatically teleport away.
But a strangely made coin will be left to the victor."
Jiang Yun remembered that when his master told him, he said that the owner of this cave seemed to be a powerful master of the Kongming Realm in the weapon refining system, so there were not many ferocious beasts in the cave, but this kind of strange puppets were very common.
"Da da"
A whooshing sound was heard in Jiang Yun's left ear, forcing Jiang Yun to turn his head in no time and subconsciously fall to one side. However, because of the tricky angle of the sneak attack, the arrow still scratched his cheek, leaving a line of blood.
While he was falling, he quickly took a closer look.
On the treetops nearby, a figure is sitting and shaking his legs, drawing a bow and setting up arrows. Its egg-sized mechanical eyes and body structure based on wood and stone all reveal the identity of the figure.
Bow and arrow puppet!
The first time he saw this strange... creature? Jiang Yun should have looked at it a few more times out of curiosity, but the blood drops on his face and the next arrow reflected in his pupils made him put it away.
Contemptuous, he hurriedly looked for cover.
When fighting with bow and arrow puppets, keeping a distance will make it easier for the opponent to become a living target. It is more practical to find cover.
And this kind of puppet, if you use the illusion array, it will have little effect. According to the master, this kind of puppet is suspected to be somehow connected with the great array arranged in the whole world. Even if you use the illusion array to deceive his facial features,
He can still find your location quickly.
"Then... let's fight quickly!"
However, the shortcomings of this kind of puppet are also obvious, that is, it lacks the ability to think independently compared to humans. Although it has a little intelligence, it is still nothing to worry about.
"Whoosh!"
Jiang Yun didn't move, and the puppet on the other side who never made a sound moved first.
"Let's use you to test the strength of the 'knife' that the master gave me!" Ever since the master handed this puppet to him, Jiang Yun has not tried its power. After all, if he fights with others, there will be something wrong.
Not good.
I thought there was a knife and a shield in its hand, so I named it Xiaodao.
How could you miss such a good experimental opportunity now?
In order to save spiritual crystals and avoid excessive consumption, Jiang Yun directly used his soul to control the toes of the 'knife' to pierce the trees, climbing up quickly like climbing an escalator, without using the technique of attaching spiritual energy to the soles of his feet.
The 'Little Knife' stepped quickly, and at the same time, the second arrow came belatedly.
Jiang Yun ignored it at all and directly threw out an earth shield talisman he had carved. The talisman burned in the air, and the aura mobilized the aura of heaven and earth to form an earth shield, which was placed in front of him.
"Bang!"
The arrow was so powerful that when it hit the surface of the earth shield, there was a faint explosion.
The earth shield was damaged by the power of the arrow, instantly exploded into several pieces, and then dissipated invisible. At this time, the figure of 'Little Knife' also quickly touched the branch of the tree.
It wasn't obvious when they were far away just now, but now that the two puppets were closer, Jiang Yun realized that the color of the puppet given to him by his master was darker, and obviously the material and quality were much better than that of the wild puppet.
The wild puppet had already noticed the approach of the 'knife', but strangely it didn't react at all.
It’s as if he secretly believes that ‘Xiao Dao’ is one of his own.
In Jiang Yun's field of vision, the bow and arrow puppet just sat quietly, continuing to draw arrows and shoot at himself, paying no attention to the 'knife' approaching step by step beside him.
Then... the knife raised the knife in his right hand and cut off his neck.
"Is this... the end?"
Jiang Yun was stunned, scratching his head with some boredom and confusion. The 'knife' was also stunned in place, as if he had never seen a battle end like this. To be honest, through the materials of the two, Jiang Yun probably guessed that
The "Little Knife" would be much stronger than the wild puppets, but he really didn't expect that the "Little Knife" could kill the puppets without any harm. Those wild puppets were completely defenseless against the "Little Knife"!
"Bang!"
The wild puppet's head and body fell to the ground, and the arrow in his hand announced the end of the battle.
Jiang Yun, who had regained consciousness, was about to step forward to check the body of the wild puppet to see the difference with the knife. At this moment, a surprising scene appeared.
Under the body of the wild puppet, a light spot first lit up, and then the light spot continued to expand. In the blink of an eye, a circle of light was formed that enveloped the body of the wild puppet.
The next moment, the light in the aperture brightened.
At this time, Jiang Yun clearly sensed an inexplicable pressure protecting the puppet corpse in the middle, not allowing anyone to snatch it or interfere with its progress.
When the light faded, there was no trace of the wild puppet's body.
Strangely, a unique-shaped coin was left on the spot.
Jiang Yun, who was completely puzzled, first controlled the 'knife' and came down from the tree to be on guard, and then squatted down to pick up the coins on the ground. The coins were strange in shape, with a small hammer pattern engraved on them, and there was no spiritual energy flowing in them.
You can't even get in.
Curious, he pulled out a sword from his sword umbrella and slashed at the coins with all his strength.
"Ping!"
Unexpectedly, after a crisp sound, the coin was actually intact!
"I didn't expect it to be true."
This coin was introduced in the jade slip information. This coin is made of ordinary materials, but the strange thing is that as long as it is in this world, this coin is extremely hard, even if it is a magical weapon, it is difficult to cut it.
But as long as it is carried out of this world and returned to the previous world, the coin will immediately be no different from an ordinary stone, and a mortal sword can chop it open.
Many practitioners judge that this may be a coin created by the great power in the realm of space and darkness for use in this world. If you dig deeper, you may be able to use this coin to exchange for certain items.
It's a pity that no one dares to explore the inner area deeply. The danger factor there is too high, and even those in the Foundation Establishment Realm dare not enter easily. Many people who claim to be in the Foundation Establishment Realm have never come out after entering.
"It's amazing."
After collecting the coins, Jiang Yun and 'Xiao Dao' walked forward again.
Along the way, I encountered more than ten puppets, and all of them were beheaded by the 'little knife' after being approached. All the puppets seemed to have no defense against the 'little knife', allowing the little knife to inflict violence on them and even take their lives.
"I didn't expect that the puppet my master left for me would allow me to take such a big advantage in this assessment."
In a short time, Jiang Yun collected more than ten coins, all of which were placed in a storage bracelet. Although sending these coins through jade slips can earn a lot of points, Jiang Yun's original intention was to
Quit!
Please, the dean has said that there will be a powerful person to conduct soul interrogation, how can Jiang Yun fall into the trap!
"That's not right. These puppets cannot be conquered and will disappear if killed. So how did the master get this puppet?",
Weird, Jiang Yun couldn't help but think curiously as he looked at the 'Xiao Dao' exploring the way ahead.
Without saying a word, he immediately sent a message to his master through the transmission note: Master, where did you find your puppet? I will go check it out later.
I have already seen how powerful this puppet is. Not to mention his bug-like ability to harvest wild puppets, just the sharpness of its knife and the strength of its shield are enough to compete with the real Foundation Realm.
And after only half a piece of spiritual crystal was consumed in such a long time, it didn't cost too much money.
After a while, the transmission talisman replied: The inner area that the old drunkard and I went to, you can go in and find it yourself if you want. I will send you a map of the area that I and I have explored. Please pay attention to your own safety.
He rolled his eyes at the transmission talisman speechlessly. The internal area is extremely dangerous. Even those in the foundation building realm of the underground network would not dare to take risks easily. It would be better for you to let me in with just one mouthful...
However, this can indeed explain the origin of the ‘Knife’ puppet.
Except for the mysterious inner area, it is impossible to have such an almost bug-like item in the outer area.
After walking for half a stick of incense, Jiang Yun saw a small mountain peak in the distance.
"Go up and have a look and see if you can find a way out."
This is really a ghost place. Jiang Yun has killed more than thirty wild puppets and saved more than thirty coins. It has been two sticks of incense since he entered, and he is still wandering in the jungle.
If this continues, time will really be wasted here.
Whether he wanted to meet up with the team members or to enter the inner area to see what objects were there, Jiang Yun was not willing to be trapped in this jungle forever.
So he ran quickly to the foot of the hill.
"Huh? Is there a sound of fighting ahead?"
Unexpectedly, just as they approached the foot of the mountain, they heard a loud shaking sound from above, which spread out in all directions like muffled thunder.
Since there may be people on the mountain, you can't go up there arrogantly.
Jiang Yun controlled 'Xiao Dao' to disguise himself as an ordinary wild puppet and walked slowly up the mountain. Then he jumped onto a tree branch and hid in the woods, following 'Xiao Dao' behind him.
Fortunately, the hill is still full of trees. As long as you don't commit suicide and stand on the top of the trees, you won't be discovered.
"But it's really strange. I've been here for so long and I haven't found a ferocious beast yet."
It stands to reason that apart from the most common wild puppets, there are still a few ferocious beasts in this world. However, since I came here, I haven't seen even one ferocious beast.
Not to mention ferocious beasts, not a single bird or reptile was found.
After cautiously confirming that no one was hiding in the trees in front of him, Jiang Yun used the magical talisman on his leg to fly forward and land on the tree in front of him. At the same time, the 'knife' under the tree also slowly swam forward.
"Tuoba Jinghuan?"
