Chapter 1585 First encounter
Didn’t Bai Ziqi go to the Shining Gold Plain just to investigate Emperor Jiuyou?
The opponent is the combination of Qingyang + Bai Ziqi. No matter how hard He Xiao fights, he can only survive for a few days.
If He Lingchuan didn't have a backup plan, he would be feeling extremely uneasy at this moment.
But he just smiled and said, "Hey, Envoy Bai just arrived in Tianshui City, is he going out again?"
"Yes, he went to Xiaotao Villa, didn't you know that?" Qingyang said casually, "Calculating the time, he should be back in four or five days."
He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Very good. Let Envoy Baidu investigate the follow-up. It's really a professional match."
“By then, we may need Island Master He’s assistance in the investigation.” Qingyang emphasized the word “assist.”
He Lingchuan nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course."
We will talk about what will happen in a few days. In such a large country like Yao, there may not even be a “few days later”.
……
It was late at night and the rain was drizzling, but the disciples had already put up a tent to protect their teacher from getting wet.
Cao Wendao simply took out a pen and paper and wrote down everything he had learned today. This was a habit he had developed over many years of research. No matter how good a person's memory was, it was no match for a rotten pen.
Time passed slowly and it was already the second half of the night.
Tired of writing, Cao Wendao closed his eyes and thought about why Xiao An was still alive. Did he miss something, or was it thanks to Wei Yishan?
The research of the Heavenly Palace on humanoid puppets is very secretive, but it is unique in the world. If a demon puppet master suddenly appeared, he could easily solve the problem that has troubled him for many years. Cao Wendao felt that it was unrealistic.
The gods and the heavenly palace have been studying the beasts for more than two thousand years, and have long since divided them into many categories. How could a folk wild demon puppeteer have so much comprehensive and professional knowledge?
Cao Wendao had a hunch that if he could capture Wei Yishan, it would be of great benefit to his research.
While he was thinking, figures flashed in the jungle, and two disciples returned with an urgent report:
"Master, something has happened at Yongquan Villa!"
Previously, Cao Wendao sent them to keep an eye on Yongquan Villa.
"What's the matter?"
"There is a commotion at the villa. It seems that some refugees have sneaked in to rob the villa. We saw several refugees being beaten up and thrown out by the people at the villa at the door."
"What's going on inside?"
The two looked at each other and said, "The villa has erected a barrier, so our insect puppets can't get in."
Cao Wendao frowned: "You guys react too slowly."
If it was the second disciple Yang Chi, he would have put the insect puppet in long before the barrier was set up.
The other disciples are much more stupid.
The two of them lowered their heads and dared not say a word. This time, seven disciples had died and one was trapped. They also knew that it was a difficult situation.
Cao Wendao put down his pen and fell into deep thought.
Something happened at Yongquan Villa at midnight. Can Wei Yishan set off as scheduled tomorrow morning?
Will there be any changes? Cao Wendao always hated changes.
For example, would Yongquan Villa send people to drive away and clear out the refugees around? Then there would be certain risks for him to stay here.
At this moment, a green shadow flashed across the air and circled around Cao Wenda with a whoosh.
The money for Qingxie has arrived.
He grabbed the green money, pulled out the note and looked at it, his face changed.
The above is a simple sentence:
You've fallen into a trap, get out of here!
Just these few words made Cao Wendao feel a chill down his spine.
He had a strength: he listened to advice when his life was at stake, so he rolled up his pen and paper, stood up decisively and said, "Retreat!"
The disciples were startled and hurried to pull the carriage: "Master, please get in the carriage."
"Too slow." Cao Wendao strode forward, chopped off the shaft of the cart, and planned to lead the horse out and ride away.
But as soon as the second shaft was broken, there was a loud bang and the carriage suddenly exploded!
The force of this blow was so great that the entire carriage instantly broke into pieces, with fragments flying everywhere.
The horse pulling the cart was blown away two meters and lay motionless on the ground.
The two disciples closest to the carriage flew into the air without a word; the other two flew backwards three feet and hit a tree directly, and they were unable to get up for a long time.
Cao Wendao felt equally uncomfortable. He was blown a dozen feet away by the air wave and fell on his back.
But just as the explosion happened, two blue and red lights flashed around him - the protective magic weapon was triggered to protect its master.
Most of the power of the explosion was taken away by the protective magic weapon. Although Cao Wendao's internal organs suffered some shock, he was not seriously injured. He just felt chest tightness and nausea and could not control himself.
But he was filled with horror.
Cao Wendao has always been cautious, and when he was resting in the camp, he would release insect puppets to monitor the surroundings.
Since he arrived at the bank of Taoxi River, he had not noticed any unusual people or creatures approaching, so how did the carriage explode?
It wouldn't be like he exploded for no reason, right?
Whoever secretly placed the explosives, it escaped the eyes and ears of the insect puppets.
In fact, there were dense trees here and the carriage was leaning against a tree trunk. No one noticed just now that a small thing the size of a palm was sliding down the tree trunk, getting under the carriage under the cover of branches and leaves, and spitting out a few dark brown balls that stuck to the carriage.
It has a special ability that not only allows it to sense nearby insect puppets, but also allows it to change its body color and blend in with the environment. Even when it quietly passed behind two insect puppets and smacked its lips, the insect puppet in front of it was still unaware and didn't even move its tentacles.
When Cao Wendao and his disciples approached, its owner hiding in the dark fired a few Bakugan, firing the first shot of the battle!
Yes, he knew very well that a few Bakugan alone could not kill Cao Wendao. So when Cao Wendao tried to stand up, he felt the ground shaking, the bushes rustled, and a huge monster rushed out!
It knocked down two small trees in succession.
Just as frost and powder on the branches and leaves were flying all over the sky, it crashed into Cao Wenda and hit him on the head with a stick with great force without saying a word!
The stick disturbed the air, even making a dull "buzzing" sound. If it hit hard, wouldn't someone's brain burst and die?
This is a giant ape, covered in bronze armor. Its face is uglier than a devil, and its red eyes look vicious when it looks at people. It has two huge fangs protruding out, and its skin is a classic overbite.
Even He Lingchuan had to retreat after the ghost ape’s full-strength attack, so how could Cao Wendao dare to withstand it?
Before the stick hit his face, he raised his heels and bounced back three feet.
His movements were surprisingly light, like a grasshopper's light jump. He did not even look back, and retreated twice in succession. The three times the swallow scooped up the water were no different, not to mention that he was scooping backwards.
A demon puppeteer could move so agilely. If He Lingchuan saw it with his own eyes, he would definitely mock Dong Rui for being so fragile.
Cao Wendao obviously had rich combat experience and knew that his opponent's bombardment was far more than that.
As expected, the ghost ape missed with one strike, then changed the angle and struck again, and then swept horizontally close to the ground. If the opponent blocked or retreated, the next two strikes would most likely be unreachable or unavoidable.
Each of its three axes was more powerful than the last. Cao Wendao barely dodged the last sweep, as the strong wind from the tip of the stick almost peeled off his face.
"Fight independently!" Cao Wendao couldn't help but exclaimed.
Isn’t this Wei Yishan’s ape puppet?
The information he collected was correct. This demon puppet had a very high degree of autonomy, which meant that it retained its intelligence and might even have retained its original memories - this was a taboo in the creation of demon puppets.
The transformation process of a demon puppet is full of distortion and pain, almost every one of them. After the transformation is completed, the demon puppet master will most likely erase the previous memory of the work, otherwise the unforgettable pain will most likely turn into unforgettable hatred.
Being bitten back by one's own creation is a puppeteer's nightmare, but there are precedents for this.
But the benefits of retaining intelligence and memory are also obvious, that is, the demon puppet itself has a very high growth potential, and can even practice and improve like normal monsters, and does not rely entirely on the distortion of divine blood.
The most important thing is that demon puppets with memories can accumulate combat experience! Just like this big guy in front of him, it fights almost completely autonomously, and Wei Yishan only needs to make a small amount of remote control.
"Mad!" Cao Wenda cursed, but not without envy.
One of his research directions in the Golden Plains is how to balance the growth and stability of the demon puppets. They must be made powerful, but not allowed to go crazy and collapse. For example, the beast "Shenyuan" in the depths of Xushan Mountain is really powerful and really crazy. The Heavenly Palace usually has to let it fall into a long sleep, otherwise it can't be controlled at all.
A demon puppet with intelligence and autonomous consciousness will undoubtedly be more stable than an ordinary demon puppet, but the demon puppeteer himself will have to bear high risks.
While he was observing the ghost ape, his hands were not idle. He jumped back three times and threw out a few soft things.
These things were like maltose, caramel-colored and slightly transparent, oval in shape, and expanded a second after landing, turning into huge...soft slugs.
They are equivalent to snails without shells, soft and boneless, but with amazing stickiness. They all stick to the ghost ape in an instant and almost completely wrap it up in just three breaths!
The ghost ape's first reaction was to throw away these slugs, but they were like fermented dough and were very tough, making it extremely difficult to break them. After finally breaking off a piece, before he could throw it away, that piece grew tentacles again and turned into a new slug!
The giant ape's strength that could move mountains and fill the sea was like hitting cotton when it hit these things, with no place for the force to be applied.
Instead, these slugs expanded wildly, trying to wrap the ghost ape into a plump, elastic ball. The latter became furious and spewed light green flames from the bottom of its throat.
This fire is poisonous and can burn everything, but when it burns a slug it is often isolated by the mucus on the slug's body. At most it will burn a big hole, which the slug can quickly fill up.
If this continues, the ghost ape's nose will be blocked and it will not be able to breathe.
Moreover, the mouthparts of these slugs are actually extremely sharp, and they cut the ghost ape's body frantically and suck its blood.
They also have the characteristics of leeches.
The ghost ape roared continuously, but for a moment it was at a loss as to what to do.
Cao Wendao dealt with demon puppets all day long and had his own way of dealing with them. Now he threw out his own demon puppet to deal with the ghost ape, while keeping an eye on all directions and paying attention to any movement around him.
Wei Yishan must be nearby.
