Chapter 4: The Puppet of the Essence

Huangfu Xiong is worthy of being the leader of the Green League and has a lot of experience in overall command. He soon sent all his men out. Everyone took a long-distance attack and continued to consume the Thousand-Wedding Viper, and pulled these adults away from Qu Heng.

When the middle passage opened, Huangfu Xiong personally went into battle and fought against the Thousand-Bearded Viper with his cultivation level in the Huayuan Realm. The weapon in his hand was the famous Thousand Horse Slash in the martial arts world. It is said that this sword was cast by a famous weapon casting master a hundred years ago. It can cut the legs of Thousand Horses in a row without being dull.

Under the siege of the heroes, the Thousand-Bearded Viper quickly felt the crisis and exploded one after another. Suddenly, water droplets splashed everywhere in the swamp, green blood burst into flames, and "sizzling" corrosive sounds everywhere.

Fortunately, all the people present are the elites of the Green Alliance, and the minimum cultivation level is in the stable period of the Fuqi Realm. In addition, the proper cooperation has led to the number of adult insects plummeted.

In order to gain time, Fang Ling and Song Ying'er also helped and cooperated with Huangfu Xiong to attack the largest adult. Only Xiao Xue was outside the matter and stood on the shore quietly watching the movement in the field. A missing adult insect emerged from the shore. Seeing that there was a living person here, he suddenly rushed out of the water and pounced towards Xiao Xue.

Xiao Xue gently brushed her sleeves, and the adult insect was shaken out more than ten feet away, exploding in the air, without even a single slag.

A moment later, the big worm that was besieged by everyone finally felt the crisis. Its body suddenly bulged, and everyone quickly retreated, gathering strong protective energy on the surface of their bodies to form a barrier.

The giant insect exploded with a bang, and every piece of flesh and blood seemed to hit with a thousand pounds of force. Even though everyone formed a barrier, their hands were numb by the remaining force, and the hole wall was blown out one by one.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time they were still scared. If they broke into this place alone, it would be difficult to get out alive. At the same time, everyone felt that Huangfu Xiong's wise decision did not bring in someone with low cultivation. Otherwise, even if they came in, they would be just cannon fodder and sacrificed their lives in vain.

After crossing the swamp, there was a stone staircase leading to the next level on the other side. After walking down the stone staircase, we arrived at the third floor of the underground palace.

The third floor is a rocky area. Rocks of different sizes and shapes are stacked randomly on the ground. Green vines as thin as small snakes are wrapped around some rocks. The triangular leaves are green and bright red flowers are blooming. The stone layer on the head is very high from the ground, more than ten feet away. The stones on it are smooth and there is no sign of anything unusual.

There was no sound in the third floor, but the more silent it was, the more depressing it made people feel. But no matter how carefully observed it, I found nothing worth paying attention to. Apart from rocks and flowers are here.

So, everyone began to slowly move towards the road in the middle of the rock. In order to prevent the organs or red flowers from being poisoned, everyone tried their best to avoid the rocks, and dozens of people formed a long team.

The team kept walking forward, walking for almost half a stick of incense, but did not encounter any abnormal situations. Whether it was a ferocious beast or a mechanism, it seemed like this floor was a safe area.

Some people feel heavier and feel that there must be something terrible on the third floor. Those who are distracted and careless think that this is a buffer zone. If there is an unexpected situation, they may have happened a long time ago, so they whispered to chat.

Not long after walking, Fang Ling suddenly raised his hand and the team stopped. Just as everyone didn't know what was going on, thick fog slowly rose on the ground, and it was spreading above everyone's ankles. The scene in his vision began to blur. At the same time, there were loud noises in his ears, as if something was crawling on the ground.

Everyone pulled out their weapons, faced each other with their backs, and carefully observed every move in the rocky area.

Then, everyone suddenly heard a faint sound from around them. After listening carefully, they were shocked. It was actually a bunch of people talking, and it was not the other people who were talking, but some people present.

The heroes of the Green League really heard the sound of their own and their companions in the fog, and were surprised. Just when they didn't know what was strange here, black shadows began to appear in the fog. The black shadows were getting closer and closer. Everyone stared at them with a solemn expression, and they didn't even dare to let out a moment of excitement. They were about to kill the shadows when they showed their true appearance.

However, when everyone saw the black shadows in the fog, they were all stunned and speechless.

There were dozens of black shadows appearing. They were not ferocious beasts. They were all living people, and they were all people from the Green Alliance present!

Not to mention that everyone was stunned, Fang Ling and the other two could not believe what they saw. With the eyes and concentration of the three, they naturally could clearly distinguish what they saw was definitely not an illusion. However, the people who appeared in the fog, regardless of appearance, height and clothing, were no different from those around them. Moreover, these people were still chatting with each other and their words were exactly the same as those they said.

In this way, it is as if everyone can find the same person as themselves, whether it is Fang Ling, Xiao Xue, Song Ying'er or any person in the Green Alliance.

However, Fang Ling was so sharp that he suddenly saw a long black shadow behind the person's feet. He narrowed his eyes and realized that the black shadow was actually a long vine tangled with green leaves and red flowers on it.

Fang Ling suddenly understood and shouted: "Be careful, these are not real people, but human puppets turned into by the Jueyu Puppet!"

As soon as the words "Jueyu Puppet" were released, people who knew this thing suddenly realized it. However, at the same moment, the black shadows on the outside suddenly rushed towards everyone. They opened their mouths, and a thick green vine sprayed out of their mouths. The bright red flowers on the vine instantly expanded dozens of times, and the opened buds bit down like a huge mouth.

Several members of the Green Alliance who were not prepared were swallowed by a huge mouth and did not even scream. The members of the Green Alliance next to him rushed to rescue him, but the red flower immediately retreated and hid in the thick fog.

Fang Ling waved his sword to slash the flower, pressed it on the chest of the human puppet with one hand, and used a breath-taking explosion. Under the blast, the human puppet immediately turned into a large ball of green vines, falling to the ground one by one, and the vines behind quickly retreated into the fog.

The battle ended almost instantly, and 90% of the human puppets were shattered and turned into the original form of a vine, but 10% of them successfully attacked, and the members of the Green Alliance lost a total of five people in an instant.

Everyone sighed with regret, and each of them looked solemn. Tian Feilong was behind Huangfu Xiong and the elders. The people around him were almost swallowed by the giant flowers. At this time, they couldn't help asking: "Young Master Fang, what exactly is this puppet flower in the realm that can actually turn into a human form?"

Fang Ling said solemnly: "The Jueyu Puppet is a foreign object that grows in an extremely rare area on the earth. Although it is a plant, it has the characteristics of some animals. It can observe the surrounding creatures, simulate their shapes with vines, and learn their voices. The reason why there is no danger along the way is that these things have been observing us."

Everyone felt a chill rising from their backs, as if there were eyes staring at them in the mist, and they would appear at some point as if they were themselves and their companions.

Fang Ling continued: "The most powerful thing about Jueyu Puppets is not only that they can evolve into human forms. To speak human words, but that there are dense needle mouths hidden in their buds. Once bitten by them, the needle mouth will release toxins that numb the human body, and at the same time inject the seeds of the puppet into the body of the prey. The seeds will absorb the nutrients of the prey at an extremely fast speed and then break out of their belly. Only then will people feel pain!"

As soon as the words were finished, screams sounded around him, heart-wrenching and heart-breaking. Everyone felt deeply as if they heard it. Thinking that their companions who were still by their side were now suffering from unimaginable pain, they were all filled with righteous indignation.

A good Green Alliance player shouted: "Leader, we can't just stand here, we should go and save them!"

"Yes, it's time to save them. Let's go together, so I don't believe that I can't beat these ghosts!"

The voices were rising one after another, and everyone was angry. Xiao Xue stood calmly in front of the team, and her mood was also a little infected.

In fact, with her cultivation, she was enough to easily eliminate all human puppets, but she kept in mind the rules of the master's sect and did not help any mortal. Every mortal is in line with the fortune of life and death, and has life and death, and has nine difficulties. No matter which one is the cause and effect planted in the previous life. If she only interferes, she will interfere with the cause and effect calmly affect her fortune and affect the six realms of reincarnation.

Take contact with Fang Ling, a mortal, for example. He had no choice but to be rescued from the Heavenly Prison, which had quietly changed his fortune. He should have been determined to be an emperor, but he already had the body to become an immortal, and his future will be unpredictable.

Therefore, even though Xiao Xue is sad and pity for the world, she will never help easily. Since they have entered the underground palace, they are destined to experience a hardship in life. If they die, they will fall into reincarnation. If they live, they will be blessed. They can only rely on themselves for life and death.

Huangfu Xiong suddenly shouted, swept over everyone with a bright look, and said in a deep voice: "As soon as you are bitten by a puppet flower, there is no possibility of survival. Even if the gods of Daluo come, they cannot save their lives! If we are in trouble, there will be more than five of them who will sacrifice!"

Everyone gritted their teeth and looked painful on their faces, but they rationally knew that what Huangfu Xiong said was correct. At this time, the sound of pain had gradually decreased, and the fog around them became thicker, and the sound of Xisuo began to sound around.

Song Ying'er said: "No wonder this place has become a long path. It turns out that it is to lengthen the team and create a favorable environment for the Jueyu Puppets."
