Chapter 129 Puppet Master
Chapter 129 Puppet Master
Du Youyou was so angry that she pointed her finger at the man who suddenly broke in, and ordered Ye Qi and the other man to beat him up, shouting, "You two! Go and destroy him for me!"
"Tiger Demon Puppet!"
Before Ye Qi and the other two could make a move, a puppet with a humanoid tiger head that was half a head taller than the man suddenly appeared next to the man. Although no spiritual energy was detected from this puppet, it still gave the three of them a sense of oppression.
The difference between this puppet and the sacrificial spirit is that the puppet's power does not rely on spiritual power or demonic power, because after being refined into a puppet, it has become a dead object. The puppet's power comes entirely from its flesh and blood body that has no sense of pain.
The sacrificial spirits are different. They can be summoned by the power of the contract, but because the sacrificial spirits are living monsters, their power is mainly monster power. If we really want to distinguish between the high and the low, then the summoned beasts with intelligence are naturally much stronger than the mindless dead things!
"This thing is not easy to deal with. If we really fight, we may not be able to gain much advantage!"
Just when Ye Qi was about to take action, Wu Bai stopped him from behind. After all, he had been traveling for many years and was knowledgeable. When the puppet appeared for the first time, he saw the clue.
"Since you all won't stay, we'll see each other later!"
The man did not take the puppet back, but turned around and fled away. After he left for a while, the puppet gave up warning the three people and ran in the direction of its master.
Wu Bai put away his sword and looked at the direction where the puppet fled. After a moment's silence, he said, "I finally understand! It turns out that the restrictions here are not for fair competition, but to deliberately create this unfairness. Here, it all depends on who among all the candidates has the stronger abilities besides cultivation!"
"I don't understand! What do you mean?" Ye Qi was a little confused at the moment and really couldn't understand what Wu Bai said.
"In this world, besides cultivating immortality, there are three other mainstream professions, such as Miss Du's puppeteer, that little thief's puppetry, and the most popular of all professions, alchemy. These three professions all have their own advantages, so Qiankun Academy prohibits everyone from using spiritual power or demonic power, but does not prohibit these three methods!"
Seeing that Ye Qi didn't understand, Wu Bai continued to explain patiently. Then he turned his gaze to Du Youyou and gave her a meaningful look.
Hearing this, Du Youyou suddenly understood. Seeing that the two of them were staring at her like that, it was obvious that they wanted to hug her thighs tightly.
However, in the current situation, without his senior brother by his side, he has lost one of his three sacrificial spirits, the cloud demon must rely on spiritual power to function, and the magic wolf is also in its infancy. After weighing the pros and cons, it is better to have these two people traveling with him. At least they don't have so many bad intentions. After finding his senior brother, he will make other plans.
After pondering for a moment, Du Youyou stood up and said somewhat unconfidently, "It's no use looking at me. My sacrificial spirit is far less suitable for this kind of environment than his puppet. Unless I can find a powerful monster like that Terrorclaw Bear that doesn't rely on spiritual power but only on its physical strength!"
Wu Bai pondered for a moment before suddenly remembering something. A glint flashed in his eyes as he excitedly said, "A monster like the Devil's Claw Bear... I remember the Devil's Claw Bear said it was looking for its child. If we can find a little Devil's Claw Bear, I think its strength will be just right for Miss Du to tame, which would save us a lot of trouble!"
"This is not a good idea. The Deinoclaw Bear died tragically at the hands of that man. The little Deinoclaw Bear is already pitiful enough!" After hearing the suggestion, Ye Qi did not quite agree. After hesitating for a while, he spoke.
Upon hearing Ye Qi's concerns, Du Youyou said without hesitation, "Don't worry about that! I'm not a tiger, how can I eat it? What's more, if someone else finds the little Deinonychus bear first, they might not know what to do to it. At least if it follows me, it won't starve!"
"If that's the case, that would be great, but where are we going to find this little Devil Claw Bear?"
Ye Qi saw Du Youyou's solemn promise. Although she had a bit of a spoiled girl's temperament, she was indeed kind-hearted. It was obvious that she was not spoiled to the point of losing respect for life. For the little Deinonychus bear, it was indeed the best choice. After all, this rare monster could not escape the greed of humans!
"Sacrificial Spirit: Demon Wolf!"
"The magic wolf has an extremely sensitive sense of smell. With it, finding the little Devilclaw Bear will definitely be no problem!"
After the magic wolf appeared, it lay on the ground and sniffed for a while, then kept walking to figure out the direction, until it walked out of the place where the battle had just taken place and came to the gate of the gathering point. It stopped and sniffed a few more times, then suddenly raised its head and ran towards the gathering point that had been destroyed into ruins!
"Hurry up! The Demon Wolf has a clue!"
Du Youyou excitedly followed the magic wolf and ran all the way over, swinging her arms in front of her body, which surprised Ye Qi and the others. They had always thought she was a cold and aloof young lady, but they didn't expect that when she ran, she completely lost the cold and arrogant feeling she gave people when she was acting like a young lady.
"Hu! Hu! Hu!"
Du Youyou stopped and held her waist to catch her breath, then walked with heavy steps to a snack stand that the Demon Wolf had been pointing to.
Seeing the magic wolves surrounding a big pot, eager to try to stir up the pot that was still on the fire, Du Youyou smelled the scent and walked to the pot to take a look. The pot was full of oil and the meat and bones of some unknown beast were stewed in the pot!
"Demon Wolf! You are a wolf! Not a dog!"
"Ow! Ow! Ow!"
When Ye Qi and the others came over, they saw Du Youyou grabbing the magic wolf's tail and dragging it away, but the magic wolf stayed by the pot, struggling and swinging its tail vigorously, as if it would not stop until it had the meat in the pot.
"Miss Du! How about we eat something too? I haven't eaten for a day and a night, and I'm a little hungry!" Ye Qi took out a piece of meat that looked like a bear paw from the pot, sat at the table and ate it by himself, not forgetting to praise: "This stewed bear paw is really delicious!"
Seeing Ye Qi eating heartily, the two men heard him mention the word "bear paw" and asked in unison in surprise, "Ye Qi! What do you say this is?"
"I'm saying this stewed bear paw is so delicious, so soft and tasty. I've been away from home for so long, but this is the first time I've eaten freshly stewed meat. Do you want to try it?"
Du Youyou saw that he was no less greedy than the Demon Wolf, who couldn't move when he saw meat and was not efficient at all. She walked over with a gloomy face, raised her hand and punched him on the head.
However, when this fist, as soft as a meat bun, hit his head, he gasped in pain and said, "Could it be the paw of a small Deinonychus bear that you ate?"
