In the small circular square, accompanied by an unusual noise, the puppet who was sitting cross-legged on the ground twisted and trembled strangely.
Then there was a "stabbing" sound from the black robe that covered his whole body, and suddenly turned into countless fragments and flew around, revealing the puppet body covering it.
Only then did Gao Yuan realize that the puppet was not humanoid, but rather similar to some kind of arthropod.
Its main body is a cylinder nearly five feet long and about one foot thick, with a shiny black metallic luster all over its body. The head that looks like 'She Mi' is placed on the top of the cylinder.
On both sides of the cylinder, there are four pairs of slender claws evenly distributed!
At this moment, this strange-looking puppet suddenly jumped up and headed straight towards the entrance of the passage!
As soon as its body left the ground, dense blood lines suddenly appeared on the surface of the cylinder that was the puppet's backbone.
The surrounding void stirred by the flow of blood also quickly oscillated, and then the puppet's mouth opened, and a blazing blood-colored light beam poured out from it, shooting towards Gaoyuan!
·
The moment the puppet moved, Gao Yuan had already reacted.
I saw his hands touching the storage pocket of Changfeng's robe, and brought out more than a dozen second-level evil-proofing talismans wrapped in stone talismans.
With the movement of his hands, the latter turned into streaks of silver light that were evenly inserted on the surface of the passage wall in front of him.
Then he kept moving, took out the oval stone tablet that had been refined, and mobilized his true energy to frantically inject it into it.
Driven by the true energy, the surface of the stone tablet suddenly glowed red, and mysterious lines appeared, and its size continued to expand.
Then it flew forward dragging a series of afterimages, firmly protecting him in front of him.
At the same time, Gao Yuan chanted a curse silently in his mouth and quickly condensed the magic formula to detonate the flame curse.
During this process, his spiritual thoughts no longer had any scruples, and turned into a thick invisible tentacle, sweeping towards the surroundings, but no figure of the puppet operator was found.
Could it be that this puppet operates automatically like the guards in the Qingyuan Mountain ruins?
This thought only flashed in his mind before he was interrupted by the roar in front of him.
The red light surging on the surface of the stele was as intense as lava. Supported by Gao Yuan's continuous supply of true energy, it completely blocked the blood-colored light beam shot by the puppet.
At the same time, the spiritual light on the surface of the evil-proof talisman he had placed at the entrance of the passage flowed, and bursts of blazing invisible fluctuations spontaneously emerged, blocking the strange energy escaping from the blood-colored light beam outside the passage!
Sure enough, people who are related to 'Ember' have a somewhat evil aura!
Muttering in his heart, Gao Yuan felt relieved, retracted his spiritual tentacles and spread them out in all directions.
While covering all the space within a thirty-meter radius, he also caught the puppet figure that was less than twenty meters away from him.
At this moment, the Explosive Flame Curse had also taken shape, and under the expanded legal domain, the surrounding heaven and earth energy surged as if commanded.
As his sealed hands suddenly pushed out, the void in the opposite direction of the puppet's forward direction blurred slightly, and a blazing fire suddenly emerged from it.
"boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, the underground ruins instantly turned into a sea of light.
Under the endless flames, the energy storm caused by the Explosive Flame Curse surged wildly, causing a violent shock wave that instantly blew the puppet away, and continued to exert its force on the surrounding walls.
Under the impact of these violent energies, the surrounding walls shook like an earthquake, and along with a dense "crunching" sound, deep cracks suddenly appeared on the surface.
The peeling soil mixed with the cracked gravel rolled down in a "swirling" manner.
Gao Yuan turned a blind eye to this. He used the power of his spiritual thoughts to firmly lock the puppet figure that was thrown back. Several cracks had appeared on the surface of the latter under the bombardment of the Explosive Flame Curse!
With a flick of his hands in the secret bag, several second-level lightning talismans appeared in his hands. Following his movements, they turned into silver streams of light and shot away after the figure of the puppet.
"Click~ la la!"
The deep purple thunder light tore through the fiery red flames, winding towards the puppet's flying body like a series of spiritual snakes.
"Crack~pop!"
Bursts of bursting sounds were immediately heard from the surface of the puppet. After the flames and thunder disappeared, the remains that had turned into a pool of charred debris were revealed, with bursts of green smoke escaping from the surface from time to time.
In addition, the underground space returned to calm again. Gao Yuan frowned slightly, feeling that there was an indescribable strange smell.
He once again stretched out his spiritual tentacles and searched the surroundings carefully, but still found nothing. This was clearly a very ordinary underground space!
But he had just seen the face of that puppet, which looked almost exactly the same as the target of his hunt this time, 'She Mi'.
It can be inferred from this that this puppet must have a certain connection with 'Ember'.
From his understanding, the members of 'Ember' appearing in the Qifeng Mountains must have some agenda, and most of them are related to sacrifices or relics.
But there was nothing unusual about the small underground square in front of me. In the battle just now, except for this puppet, no unusual fluctuations were found.
Such a large underground space has been dug out, and a puppet is parked here. What is the purpose?
Gao Yuan was confused. When he saw that his spiritual mind didn't notice it, he turned on his Qi-gazing technique and looked around again.
As the puppet was destroyed by him, the thin lines of black energy that had previously filled the surroundings also disappeared. He looked around and found no dazzling patches of color.
Confused, he cautiously jumped down from the tunnel he dug and arrived at this rather huge small square.
First, he walked closer and inspected the puppet that had been torn into pieces. Under the double bombardment of the Explosive Flame Curse and the Thunder Drawing Talisman, it was completely destroyed and had no value for research.
After checking to no avail, Gao Yuan slowly walked towards the ground along this zigzag passage.
He let go of his spiritual thoughts and used Qi-gazing techniques to observe his surroundings from time to time. The whole journey was calm and nothing unusual happened.
But the strangeness in his heart became more and more intense, and the spiritual sense in the dark occasionally warned him, and he became more cautious while walking.
It took more than ten minutes to complete the passage, which was less than 400 meters away. Not far away, the light at the exit of the passage was already in sight.
Just when he walked out of the passage and relaxed a little, a warning sign suddenly occurred in his heart. Just as he sensed a sense of danger, there was a dense mechanical sound of "click, click, click" in his ears!
Although he was not frightened, he immediately activated the Wind Curse in the 'Heart Curse' mode. His legs followed the force of the curse and kicked the ground violently. Under the violent force, his body instantly formed a 'Z' shape.
Lightning retreated.
During this process, he also spotted several pitch-black puppet figures out of the corner of his eye. They were of different sizes and shapes. Under the sunlight, they showed a hazy metallic color.
"Chop chop chop..."
"Boom boom boom..."
As soon as Gao Yuan's body retreated, several rays of light of different colors were bombarded. While the entrance of the passage was submerged, these attacks followed closely behind his leaping figure and continued to spread into the passage.
The sound of dense energy explosions and collisions of objects were mixed together, making it as lively as setting off firecrackers.
It wasn't until he retreated tens of meters into the passage that these attacks gradually stopped due to the angle problem, and only the countless dust stirred up still filled the passage wantonly.
Gao Yuan seemed not to notice this. While the magic domain was opening, he chanted the curse in his mouth and formed seals in his hands. It didn't take long for the Heart-Capturing Curse to be cast at full power to take shape.
Following his movements, a surging wave of blood-colored light stirred up, rolling towards the black figure suspended in mid-air that he had caught a glimpse of just now!
