Two pale invisible puppets each stretched out a forelimb and were imprinted on his left arm and back shoulder in no particular order.
Under the barrier of the two-inch-thick 'body-protecting blood glow', two muffled sounds were made like drums.
The last sound came from Gao Yuan's right.
The last hidden puppet was standing behind him, and finally chose to attack Fei Ru who was standing aside.
It stretched out an equally pale forelimb, and after a brief stalemate with the green light curtain in front of the latter, it easily passed through and stamped hard on the left side of Fei Ru's chest.
…
For a moment, Gao Yuan felt a slight chill on his body where he was attacked by the two hidden puppets.
Then he saw that the top of the latter's forelimb that was pressing on his body suddenly differentiated into countless pale white filaments.
Like a plant that has just sprouted, it tried its best to penetrate the thick 'body-protecting blood glow' and take root towards his body.
At the same time, a layer of shuddering coldness continued to seep out from these pale white 'roots'.
This kind of chilling power transmitted through direct physical contact is much more overbearing and violent than the previous screaming attack from the invisible puppet.
Almost instantly, Gao Yuan felt a strange itching sensation coming from the area where he had been attacked.
This deprived him of most of his control over the real energy, blood energy and even muscles and veins in this area!
What's even more ominous is that this strange feeling of paralysis and loss of control is still spreading rapidly throughout his body as those 'roots' extend.
Fortunately, the two treasures, the 'Aegis Shield' and the 'Soul-Suppressing Seal', are not ordinary items after all.
These two secret treasures that protect the soul, after being stimulated, each vibrate out two mysterious energies with slightly different colors.
There is a mysterious fluctuating aura reflected within it, and the coldness that comes towards these invading bodies spontaneously spreads out in a swarm.
At this moment, a dense and overlapping buzzing sound suddenly came from the surrounding void.
Then he saw countless oceans of energy mixed with several familiar auras suddenly descending around his body.
"Buzz!..."
"puff!……"
"Chi! Chi! Chi..."
In an instant, Gao Yuan's control over his body was completely restored under the combined intervention of a variety of strange forces.
I saw his mind turning rapidly, and defensive spells such as the Ice Curse and the Thick Earth Curse were activated one after another in the "Heart Curse Mode".
The expanding dark blue arc-shaped ice wall and a large number of earthy yellow shadows appear separately.
When his body-protecting blood glow was scorching due to the raging energy around him, it completely enveloped his and Feiru's bodies.
Prior to this, ten brand new spherical battle puppets had been activated by him with the thread of his spiritual thoughts and appeared from his storage bag one after another.
As soon as they appeared, they each held up a barrier of various defensive talismans to protect him steadily.
Then, guided by his distraction, he quickly blocked the attacks from the two puppet guards not far away, "far and near".
Gao Yuan himself, on the other hand, frantically activated the Wind Curse.
He saw two barriers, ice wall and earth wall, wrapped into a cocoon around him, and he quickly dodged towards the corridor behind him.
During this period, he also took some time out of his busy schedule to use the 'Heart Curse' mode to instantly cast an explosive flame spell.
Blocking the two hidden puppets that had just materialized on his way to retreat, they each staggered when they exploded.
And he took this opportunity to resist the thick earth curse that was about to collapse under the impact of the turbulent energy flow. He pulled Feiru with him and quickly flashed his body towards the corridor.
In an instant, he left all the various puppet guards, including ten spherical combat puppets, ten meters behind him.
And because of the ubiquitous 'Forbidden God Restriction' in the ruins, the range of influence of his divine thoughts is only a little over ten meters.
At his current moving speed, he will soon lose control of the ten spherical puppets.
Without any hesitation, Gao Yuan directly used the thread of spiritual thought to connect with the latter before it was about to be disconnected, and ordered the 'self-destruct' command to these spherical combat puppets that were still fighting with a large number of puppet guards.
instructions.
"Buzz!..."
Accompanied by a series of talisman activation sounds that were much denser than before.
The surrounding void fluctuated violently, echoing repeatedly in the surrounding corridors. When superimposed together, they formed a roar like thunder.
Even the walls around the corridor were faintly shaken by the strong vibration, and countless powdery wall powder was stirred up, and rustled on the ground.
After a brief and depressing silence, countless oceans of energy far exceeding those before suddenly emerged.
It contained frightening fiery fluctuations, with the ten spherical battle puppets as the center, violently surging towards the surroundings.
And the surrounding puppet guards, whether they were fighting in close combat, attacking from a distance, or hiding, were the first to bear the brunt and were instantly involved in the violent energy turbulence.
During this process, Gao Yuan and the two people who had just dodged to 20 meters away were naturally not immune.
The huge corridor they were in was like a huge chimney.
Passively draining the violently surging ocean of energy in the distance, venting it towards this side.
"Ka~cha!"
"Wow~ la la!"
Affected by this impact, after the outer ice wall collapsed, the earth wall shield, which had reached the end of its strength, also collapsed with a crash.
Gao Yuan saw this and hurriedly used the 'Heart Curse' mode to instantly cast the Ice Curse and the Thick Earth Curse again.
Only then could the energy turbulence raging around him be forcibly blocked out.
Despite this, there was still some violent energy turbulence that took the opportunity to attack him and Fei Ru.
Fortunately for Gao Yuan, the 'Body Protecting Blood Light' in the 'Burning Blood' state was extremely solid. This energy aftermath, which had been weakened multiple times, was no different from scratching an itch for him.
But Feiru on the side was in a much worse situation. The hidden puppet's surprise attack just now almost completely penetrated her defense.
Later, affected by the cold feeling, her true energy and blood circulation were both blocked. Before she could complete her defense, this turbulent energy flow had already hit her.
Fortunately, the tempering progress of her physical body was not low. The moment she was eroded by these energies, she instinctively contracted her skin and flesh, activated her qi and blood, and formed a simple qi and blood energy cushion in front of her body.
Otherwise, she would have been disfigured after this battle!
Despite this, she still suffered a considerable impact from the violent energy.
Not only were the clothes on her body damaged, but some of her skin, flesh and internal organs were also damaged to varying degrees.
As I breathed through my mouth and nose, I felt a hot and spicy smell of rust.
"What a terrible energy shock!"
"I didn't expect that these weird-looking puppets could erupt such amazing energy fluctuations in such a relatively small space!"
Suppressing the pain and concentrating her mind, Feiru was so shocked that she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Her face, which was a little blue before, was now slightly flushed and swollen due to physical and mental trauma, and the look of shock on it remained for a long time.
At the same time, her understanding of the strength of this ominous ‘exile’ whose real name was ominous also took this opportunity to be refreshed again.
He saw the latter pulling him back to the wall, and then stopped moving.
She didn't see the slightest movement, and she felt the void around her tremble.
In an instant, the two defensive spells she had seen before appeared one after another in front of the two of them.
"Sure enough, there is no sign of casting a spell in the whole process. I guess this is the power of the legendary 'spiritual medium' treasure!"
Since the two of them were very close, Feiru's observation was very accurate this time, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself when she saw this.
Then she calmed down and quickly took out two protective magical weapons.
After skillfully activating it, it was suspended above the two people's heads, and a bright protective light curtain hung down.
In addition to helping the opponent resist the ice wall, the raging energy turbulence is still raging.
After doing this, she herself was not idle.
I saw her skillful chanting and kneading techniques, and not long after, a dark yellow protective light film appeared out of thin air, covering her entire body.
Only then did she feel slightly relieved.
Looking at the turbulent flow of energy still raging outside, she felt a little sad for no reason:
"If this person wants to deal with me, I don't even have to do it myself. I can't resist just these weird puppets coming around and attacking me like this!"
…
Gao Yuan naturally didn't know what Fei Ru next to him was thinking. After casting the 'Ice Curse' and 'Thick Earth Curse' in succession, he still did not relax.
He casually took out a small porcelain bottle that had been packed in advance. It contained the 'Five Spirit Pills', 'Physical Refining Pills', 'Jin Yuan Pills', 'Di Fu Pills', etc., and he poured them all into his mouth.
.
At the same time, he also used the induction of the spiritual thread to carefully pay attention to the changes in the ice wall outside.
Under the continuous impact of the turbulent energy flow outside, every time the latter showed signs of disintegration, he would immediately cast an 'Ice Curse' to make up for it.
This continued for several breaths, and the energy turbulence formed by the self-destruction of the ten spherical battle puppets and the explosion of several other out-of-control battle puppets was finally completely vented.
After the various lights and shadows gradually faded away, the various strange phenomena in the surrounding corridors also gradually disappeared.
The air was filled with a strange burning smell, mixed with waves of strong stench, rushing towards Gao Yuan and the two of them.
The latter didn't seem to notice this, and he casually lifted the 'Thick Earth Curse' earth wall in front of him that had reached the end of its strength.
Then he reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist, and five brand new spherical battle puppets appeared in front of him.
Under his guidance, while each activated several defensive talismans, a mechanical arm holding a moonstone also appeared on top of it.
When the latter is activated, Judu spreads a soft moon-white light in all directions.
The corridor space, which has gradually dimmed as the turbulent flow of energy around it is absorbed, is instantly illuminated.
…
"I'll go over to see what's going on, and you should be careful from behind!"
Gao Yuan's eyes quickly glanced at Fei Ru. Seeing the torn appearance of the latter's clothes, he quickly looked away and turned to send a message to the other party.
"……good!"
There was a brief silence behind her before Feiru resumed her voice transmission.
Immediately afterwards, there were several sounds of 'shushuosuo', but Gao Yuan didn't pay much attention.
Feeling that the true energy and blood were rapidly recovering in his body due to the effects of various elixirs, he did not delay any longer.
After making some simple preparations, he set off and walked slowly towards the place where the fierce battle had taken place.
The spherical battle puppet suspended ten meters in front of him spreads a soft moon-white light.
Under its illumination, the outline of the area that had been plunged into darkness in the opposite direction slowly came into view.
Wherever you look, it's a mess.
Broken fragments of various shapes were scattered all over the place, most of which were stained with a layer of charred black color by the previous energy explosion.
In addition, there are also some unknown materials that melt due to high temperatures.
At this time, it was twisted and knotted together, and its original appearance could no longer be seen.
The surrounding unusually solid blue-gray walls are covered with cracks caused by heavy objects impacting them, as well as dense pits and dents after the wall peeled off.
After patrolling slowly for a week, Gao Yuan felt slightly relieved.
At least judging from the scene in front of me, there is no puppet left standing.
"That's right, under the extreme and nowhere-to-discharge energy explosion just now, even the golden swords in the hands of those melee puppets have been melted beyond recognition!"
"Not to mention the puppets themselves whose material quality is slightly worse than that of the golden sword!"
Gao Yuan's gaze was focused on an area more than three meters in front of him, a look of understanding appeared on his face, and he murmured a few words to himself.
There was a huge golden sword that had been severely deformed, and its melted blade still had some dark red color that had not yet been completely warmed.
"Be careful! Behind you!"
At this moment, Fei Ru's slightly sharp reminder came from behind.
Gao Yuan's heart moved when he heard this, and he ducked forward almost instinctively.
Although no clues were found about the power of spiritual thoughts radiated out, a trace of the source of abnormal energy fluctuations could be sensed.
And his body, driven by the violent wind curse, flashed more than ten meters like a ghost.
At the same time, the Ice Curse has also been cast instantly by him in the 'Heart Curse' mode.
As soon as the dark blue arc-shaped ice wall appeared, guided by his spiritual thoughts, it quickly closed towards the left rear position.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Just two crisp explosions were heard, and the ice wall caused by the ice spell was instantly shattered as soon as it closed.
Taking advantage of this gap, Gao Yuan turned around.
Just at this moment, two pale white figures that were somewhat mutilated came into his eyes.
The latter two had just broken the ice wall and dashed out. One of them rushed after Gao Yuan, while the body of the other quickly faded away.
A cold light flashed in Gao Yuan's eyes, and he immediately used the 'Heart Curse' mode to instantly cast a 'Soul Forbidden Curse', hitting the invisible puppet that was rapidly disappearing.
"Ah~!"
"Buzz!"
The latter's scream was not even halfway through when it was interrupted instantly as if someone had pinched his throat head-on.
Its illusory body also quickly trembled from virtual to real.
After the 'Soul Forbidden Curse' was played, Gao Yuan no longer paid attention to the hidden puppet behind him.
His eyes fell on the body that was rushing towards him, and his body moved forward to meet it without retreating.
At the same time, his right arm more than doubled in size in an instant, and his right hand also tightened into a fist.
The moment the distance between him and the hidden puppet shortened to less than two meters, it exploded instantly.
The punch that came first came first, hitting the puppet's chest from a distance before it could attack.
"Ke~ke~ke!"
Accompanied by a burst of dense and crisp shattering sounds, the invisible puppet, whose lower body was abnormally mutilated but still showed no fluctuations in its entire body, suddenly felt like water waves on its chest, with several violent fluctuations visible to the naked eye.
In an instant, the bright silver line pattern on his mask dimmed and went out.
Gao Yuan had expected this. After defeating the puppet with a 'shaking fist', his castration did not diminish at all, and he instantly came to the front of another puppet that had just turned from virtual to real.
Another 'Tianshaking Fist' was struck, destroying all the parts in his chest again.
Then he stood still, turned around and looked back, only to see that the space was silent again.
…
Leaving this special area like a charging station, Gao Yuan and Fei Ru organized themselves briefly before setting off again.
The path forward is exactly the same as before. Every two to three hundred meters or so, you will encounter a group of puppet guards with "two near, two far and one hidden".
After the fierce battle just now, even Feiru seemed much calmer when encountering such a small scene again.
She cooperated with Gao Yuan and easily cleared away the combination of these puppet guards.
Unknowingly, the two of them walked along this corridor for more than a thousand meters, during which they encountered four groups of puppet guards.
And this unchanging corridor finally turned at a right angle to the right at the end of the field of vision.
After turning around, the scene that came into view was exactly the same as the previous corridor.
It is still extending into the darkness in the distance, as if there is no end!
"What the hell..."
Gao Yuan was speechless at this moment. This trip to the ruins was completely different from what he had expected before coming.
"Even if you don't have anything good, you can at least make a decent room for me to search and loot!"
"For no reason, what do you mean by building such a long corridor? Are you really planning to connect the subway here?"
Seeing the two puppet guards not far away who sensed the light emitted by the moonstone and rushed towards them at an accelerated speed, Gao Yuan complained in his heart.
Having said that, he was still unambiguous when it came to taking action.
After many times of cooperation, Gao Yuan and the two already have a certain tacit understanding.
Without Gao Yuan's reminder, Fei Ru, who had already put on a loose purple robe, quickly stood up with her back against the wall.
While keeping a close distance from Gao Yuan, she looked up and down, left and right, vigilantly.
Carefully guard your surroundings to prevent a sudden attack by the hidden puppet that has not yet appeared.
With the tacit cooperation of the two, it didn't take long for the newly appeared group of puppet guards to be quickly cleared away by the two of them.
…
After turning into this corridor, Gao Yuan and the two marched for about a kilometer again, during which they defeated four groups of puppet guards guarding the corridor.
In front of the field of vision, a huge area with a large amount of flashing blue light gradually appeared.
"Sure enough, there is really an 'energy station' waiting here!"
Gao glanced at it from a distance, and then said helplessly to Fei Ru on the side.
"So what? Do we still have to clean them out?"
Feiru also appeared speechless, and then asked in a somewhat uncertain voice.
Her face looked a little tangled, obviously thinking of the thrilling scene the two experienced just now in order to clean up the last 'energy station'.
"certainly!"
"There may be many more behind here. If we don't clear out all these puppet guards, we won't be at ease when we explore the back!"
Gao Yuan responded nonchalantly. He turned around and saw Fei Ru looking a little nervous. He couldn't help but feel happy. He then sent a message to comfort him:
"Don't worry, it needs to be cleaned up, but not like just now, look at me!"
After saying that, he no longer stopped, activated the wind spell and floated towards that area.
·
After hearing Gao Yuan's words, Fei Ru felt a little curious.
After all, according to the two people's previous speculations, these puppet guards standing here should be replenishing energy.
During this process, as long as the charging of one of the puppets is interrupted, all other puppets will be forcibly awakened at the same time.
And just now when we were at the last 'energy station', facing the combined attacks of those puppet guards, the man in front of us was obviously in a very embarrassed state!
"Is he planning to use those weird-looking puppets to detonate them again?"
"Although the self-destruction power of this kind of puppet is amazing, he shouldn't have much inventory on him, right?"
"After all, this so-called self-destruction consumes an astonishing amount of talismans!"
As her mind raced, she saw that the other party was already heading that way, Feiru quickly collected her thoughts and followed quickly.
At this moment, she suddenly saw many brick-like things appearing in front of the other party.
I saw this man floating forward, surrounding the eight hidden puppets, working quickly back and forth for a while, and then turned back again.
"Okay, you're done!"
Gao Yuan retreated into the corridor, clapped his hands, and said with a satisfied look on his face.
"alright?"
Feiru was stunned when she heard this. She was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise.
Seeing the confused look on the other party's face, Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile.
Then he told the other party his plan through sound transmission.
His plan was very simple, which was to use a certain number of 'talisman bricks' that he had made before and bundled with twenty talismans with talisman sleeves, and arrange them on the bodies of the eight hidden puppets.
Before taking action, first use directional blasting to eliminate these more difficult hidden puppets at once.
As for the remaining thirty-odd melee and long-range puppets, they don't need Fei Ru's cooperation. He can take care of them all by himself!
·
After hearing the other party's somewhat crazy plan with a shocked look on her face, Feiru was speechless for a moment.
Only now did she realize that the brick-like thing was actually made of stacks of second-level talismans, and its only purpose was to detonate it!
Considering the quantity of the talismans that I just took out, there are hundreds of them at least, right?
She had just seen the power of these talismans. They were definitely second-level high-level rare talismans!
If there are hundreds of them, the price would be at least tens of thousands of intermediate spirit stones, right?
What left her speechless the most was that these 'bricks' were made in advance, not improvised.
So much so that these 'bricks' were all tied with auxiliary fixing ropes, and coupled with the adroitness of the opponent's arrangement, it was clearly not the first time that this 'burning spiritual stone' fighting method was used.
“Is being an ‘exile’ so lucrative now?”
Feiru couldn't help but whisper in her heart.
She was extremely shocked by the opponent's heroic fighting style, and even felt a little inferior in it.
·
Shocked, Feiru still fully agreed with the feasibility of Gao Yuan's plan.
What she fears the most is the mysterious and invisible puppet.
As long as there is no interference from this thing, not to mention the mysterious guy with unfathomable strength in front of her, even she can easily deal with the siege of seven or eight ordinary puppets without feeling the mysterious pressure.
Therefore, the two briefly discussed the division of labor and began to prepare separately.
Before Gao Yuan took action, he first chanted a spell and cast a powerful version of the ice spell and other defensive spells, creating a temporary bunker against the wall not far away.
Then he gestured to Fei Ru on the side, and directly activated the thread of spiritual thought to activate all the 'talisman bricks' hanging on the chests of the eight hidden puppets with the help of ropes.
"Buzz!..."
Amidst the dense and familiar sound of the talismans activating, the surrounding void began to vibrate violently again.
After giving the order with the help of the thread of spiritual thought, Gao Yuan didn't even look at the explosion in this 'energy station'.
Before the energy ocean exploded, his body flashed several times in succession and he arrived thirty meters away.
In a flash, he entered the temporary 'bunker' where the spell was condensed just now.
Before the thick earth spell that blocked the entrance could be cast, a violent sea of energy surged behind him.
Fortunately, the two of them had anticipated this. As soon as Gao Yuan ducked into the bunker, Fei Ru activated the two magic weapons above his head, and the endless light dropped down to block the entrance.
He bought Gao Yuan some time to cast the spell in the 'Heart Curse' mode.
·
A moment later, as soon as the energy tide outside subsided, Gao Yuan rushed out of the bunker.
He took out the three spherical battle puppets from the storage bag and floated high under the guidance of his spiritual thoughts, instantly illuminating the corridor that had just fallen into darkness.
And Gao Yuan also used the bright light to see the figures of puppet guards hidden in the darkness in the distance, like headless flies.
According to a rough count, there are probably less than twenty of them.
Unsurprisingly, among the remaining puppet guards, there is not a single hidden puppet of that kind.
He waved his hand and took out ten spherical battle puppets from the storage space, leaving them in place as backup.
Gao Yuan turned around and gestured to Fei Ru, then activated the wind spell and rushed towards the opposite side.
The remaining puppet guards in the distance also sensed the light emitted by the moonstone here, and they all rushed towards Gaoyuan.
…
In less than two minutes, without the interference of the hidden puppets, the remaining puppet guards had basically no high-level enemies.
Under his continuous fierce attacks with either the 'Tianshaking Fist' or the 'Finger of Nirvana', they turned into countless fragments and scattered on the ground.
After a brief tidying up, Gao Yuan and the two set off again, along the corridor, towards the seemingly endless depths of the ruins, and continued to explore.
…
More than three hours later.
Gao Yuan and the two are still in this underground ruins, moving forward along this seemingly endless corridor.
During this period, they had made ten consecutive right turns along this corridor.
In this mechanical repetitive battle again and again, both Gao Yuan and Fei Ru became a little numb.
The feeling given to them is that they have been in a "back" shape, continuously circling around an unknown central area.
And up to now, the driving force that still supports the two of them to keep going deeper is that they both want to see if this corridor really has no end.
Finally, after destroying the twelfth 'energy station', the two saw something different at the location where the 'thirteenth' energy station should have been.
I saw a huge portal standing where dozens of charging puppet guards should have stood.
