As these spherical battle puppets swarmed in, the bright light emitted by the moonstones on the tops of these puppets cascaded and shone on this strange monster.
Like a shadowless lamp, the latter's pale body was illuminated with some dazzling reflections.
On the wall beside him, there are layers of twisted light and shadow, alternating between light and dark.
I saw that this monster was just like the previous hidden puppet. Under the attack of the soul-attack type of 'soul-forbidden curse', its originally weak body gradually solidified.
At this time, three thick tentacles were dancing, volleying towards the gathering spherical battle puppets, entangling them away.
Gao Yuan's heart suddenly moved, and he instantly issued a self-destruct command to the surrounding spherical battle puppets through the thread of spiritual thought.
"Buzz..."
"Puff puff……"
"Click~ la la..."
Accompanied by the sound of countless dense talisman activations, the surrounding void fluctuated violently, and there was a mighty wave of energy that shook people's hearts and minds.
In an instant, countless streams of light of various shapes emerged out of thin air, manifesting into a colorful ocean of energy, spreading in all directions.
During this process, the closest monster naturally bore the brunt and was instantly submerged in the expanding ocean of energy.
Gao Yuan is naturally no exception.
At the same time as he issued the 'self-destruct' command, he had already moved forward in front of Fei Ru, dragging the latter to dodge and hide in the temporary bunker constructed with magic.
The moment he used the 'Heart Spell' mode to instantly cast the follow-up spell to seal the temporary gap, more than a dozen spherical combat puppets self-destructed, causing energy turbulence to sweep over.
Fortunately, he had already considered this when building a temporary bunker.
Although the location where this monster appeared was a bit unexpected, there was generally nothing wrong with it.
Therefore, while Gao Yuan continued to use instant spells to make up for the consumption of the bunker, the violent ocean of energy outside did not have much impact on the two of them.
A moment later, Gao Yuan took advantage of the huge energy tidal eruption outside and released a few protective spells while his power was greatly reduced.
At the same time, his eyes immediately turned towards the location where the monster had just stayed.
What caught his eye was a thick tentacle that was completely pale and was silently expanding in his eyes.
Because of the strange characteristics of this monster, its huge body seemed to be empty when perceived by spiritual thoughts.
Therefore, before removing the defensive spell, Gao Yuan could not rely on his spiritual thoughts to locate the monster's situation.
In addition, he has preconceived impressions accumulated from previous battles with hidden puppets.
Therefore, when this monster's body was attacked by the 'Soul Forbidden Curse', it changed from virtual to real.
Gao Yuan took it for granted that the self-destruction attacks of these spherical combat puppets would cause considerable damage to this monster.
Therefore, the monster's tentacle attack was beyond his expectation.
In a hurry, it was too late to dodge or cast defensive spells at this time.
Gao Yuan didn't even think about it. Taking advantage of the bonus effect of the 'Burning Blood' state, he clenched his right fist with a little force and punched out with a 'Shaking Fist'.
Following his movements, his right fist, wrapped in a dense blood-colored light group, struck first and then collided with the huge tentacle.
"puff!"
Hearing a soft muffled sound, Gao Yuan felt his punch was like hitting a quilt covered with lard leather.
It was smooth and soft to the touch. In his punch, more than 70% of the concussive power of violent blood energy was strangely reduced.
Despite this, he himself still floated back seven or eight meters under the force of the powerful counter-shock.
At the same time, as the distance between the two parties increased, the appearance of this monster appeared in his eyes again.
Compared with before, there is no difference at all.
The self-destruction attacks of more than a dozen spherical battle puppets did not harm this monster at all!
"Void?"
Gao Yuan's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
According to previous observations of hidden puppets, the hidden state of this kind of puppet is very strange.
Once he enters the virtual state, neither his martial arts nor various spell attacks will be effective.
Only illusory and magical soul attacks can cause damage to it.
Therefore, if the spherical battle puppet self-destructs at the moment, this monster will instantly turn from real to virtual.
Then, no matter how strong the burst of energy is, it cannot hurt its body.
As his mind turned, Gao Yuan instantly thought of this possibility.
At the same time, he stared at this strange-looking monster, and for a moment he was a little unsure of what it was.
Could it be some kind of strange creature?
He couldn't believe it.
After all, as he and Fei Ru said before, the ancient ruins they were in had a history of countless thousands of years.
What kind of creature can span such a long time and still survive to this day?
And if it is not a living thing, then the only explanation is that it is a puppet creation!
Just as Gao Yuan's thoughts were racing, he saw the monster's movements change.
Its huge body, with the tentacles swimming rhythmically around it, clung to the wall of the corridor and swam towards him at high speed.
At the same time, the monster was seen protruding two thick tentacles, dancing like snakes and twitching towards him.
When Gao Yuan saw this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist, and ten brand new spherical battle puppets appeared beside him.
Along with a slight buzzing, these puppets each activated various talismans stored inside.
Under the guidance of Gao Yuan's spiritual thoughts, he once again faced the monster's swimming body and outflanked him.
During this process, Gao Yuan's body was seen flickering in place like a ghost.
While dodging the attacks of these tentacles, he pointed his two hands together like swords, and kept activating the 'Finger of Nirvana'.
The funnel-shaped qi and blood energy surged out, constantly spurting out in response to these twitching tentacles.
At this moment, the mysterious lines in the center of the monster's torso twitched quickly, and its newly solidified body began to fade away.
After his body was weakened, he simply ignored the "Finger of Nirvana" shot by Gao Yuan, and passed through these explosions of blood energy without any loss of momentum.
It wasn't until the moment they approached Gao Yuan's body that these virtual tentacles suddenly solidified and struck Gao Yuan as quickly as lightning.
This move was beyond Gao Yuan's expectation, so his reaction was half a beat too slow.
The moment the attack approached, he only had time to raise his right arm to block it.
"boom!"
Accompanied by a dull explosion like a drum, Gao Yuan's body instantly exploded back more than ten meters and crashed into the wall behind him.
Fortunately, with the protection of the abnormally solidified 'Body Protecting Blood Light' and the 'Golden Light Curse' armor, he did not suffer too much damage, but only felt a slight surge of blood.
Before the monster's subsequent tentacle attack could come, he kicked the wall behind him violently, and his body shot out to the side.
With the cooperation of the 'phantom body technique' and the 'wind spell', his body flashed again and again like a ghost, and he easily escaped the subsequent pursuit.
At the same time, he was also rapidly thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
Although some of the characteristics of the monster in front of me are very similar to the previous hidden puppet.
But in terms of virtual and real conversion, it is different from the latter, and it is much more flexible.
In terms of its duality that can be transformed into reality and reality, as well as the feedback when it was hit just now.
Regardless of whether it is a pure soul type or physical type attack, I am afraid it will be difficult to be effective.
If you want to really hurt this monster, you can only use a two-pronged approach simultaneously.
No matter whether it is virtual or physical, there is always an attack that can hurt the opponent!
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan instantly made a plan.
I saw his hands pointing together like swords, each gathering a dark purple 'finger of annihilation' halo, and suddenly shot out towards the tentacles of the monster chasing after him.
But before that, he used the 'Heart Curse' mode to instantly cast a 'Soul Forbidden Curse' at the monster.
Under his deliberate control, these two attacks, one belonging to the soul type and the other to the physical type, would hit the monster at the same time almost in no particular order.
Gao Yuan himself also narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the results of this attempt.
I saw that at the moment when the funnel-shaped blood energy spurting out from the 'Finger of Nirvana' was about to attack the monster's tentacles, its originally solid body suddenly became insubstantial.
At the same time, the translucent light and shadow formed by the 'Soul-forbidden Curse' also radiated to the center of the monster's body.
As soon as the latter came into contact with this translucent light and shadow, it immediately began to change from virtual to real.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, the blood energy shot out by the 'Finger of Nirvana' sprayed all the energy on the monster tentacles that had just solidified.
Different from the fierceness of the 'Shaking Heaven Fist', the 'Nirvana Finger' is more effective in encroaching. When encountering the monster's soft and smooth tentacles, the effect is naturally stronger.
"ah!……"
Hearing the sound of intensive explosions, the tentacle suddenly began to twitch violently as if it was being stimulated.
But...that's all!
This tentacle, which suffered a full blow from the 'Finger of Nirvana', did not explode directly as Gao Yuan expected.
Although he was still twitching violently, he clearly didn't appear to be too seriously injured.
Otherwise, even if it doesn't explode, it may be disconnected directly under such a large twitch.
"Hiss~!"
Gao Yuanyuan took a deep breath.
The physical toughness of this monster was much stronger than he expected.
After all, with the power of his current ‘Finger of Nirvana’, even the previous invisible puppet would explode if hit by one blow!
"In this case, the 'soul-forbidden curse' cast in the heart curse mode may not have much effect even if it hits."
"If you want to achieve a truly fatal attack, it seems that you still have to fall on the best talisman."
"It's just that once I need to use the talisman, I won't be able to move myself while the seal is being formed to release the talisman's spiritual seal."
"I don't know if the binding power of the talisman will be of use to this thing when it becomes virtual."
"If it doesn't work, if I get close and touch this guy's tentacles, I'm afraid it won't be easy!"
While his mind was spinning, Gao Yuan continued to dodge the continuous attacks from the tentacles behind him, while distractedly glancing at Fei Ru on the side.
It was seen that the latter had recovered from the monster's soul attack just now, and was now using various methods to cope with the monster's tentacle attack.
It's just that his own strength is not as good as Gao Yuan. Although he is still trying to support himself, he still looks quite embarrassed.
Gao Yuan saw this and sent a message to him:
"This monster's ability is too weird. It switches back and forth between virtual and real states, restraining physical attacks and spiritual attacks respectively."
"If you want to kill it, I guess you can only use two types of attacks at the same time."
"I will activate the talisman later and attack simultaneously with the puppet's self-destruction."
"But during the activation process of the talisman, I cannot move myself. During this period, there is about ten breaths of time left. I need you to help me block the harassment attacks of these tentacles."
"In addition, before I can free my hands to build a temporary bunker, the energy turbulence generated by my puppet's self-destruction will also affect a wave of points in advance. Can you do it on your own?"
"Of course, if you have a powerful attack method, whether it is a soul type or an entity type, you can cooperate with me in attacking."
"Then I can have spare power to build a defensive bunker while launching an attack."
Feiru was silent for a moment after hearing this. She kept avoiding the serial pursuit of a monster's tentacles, and then replied via voice transmission:
"For ten breaths... no problem, just let go and attack!"
"Okay, then leave the attacks of the monsters here to me first. You retreat to the back to make preparations. Let me know when you are ready."
Gao Yuan nodded when he heard the words, and then a billowing purple-red halo of energy and blood erupted all over his body, and the jelly-shaped 'body-protecting blood light' suddenly became more concentrated.
Then he floated up, and in a flash he got between the monster and Fei Ru.
While he was constantly using the 'Heart Curse' mode to instantly cast the 'Soul Forbidden Curse', he was forcing this monster to prevent it from becoming insubstantial.
While condensing the energy of the 'Finger of Nirvana' one after another, he struck at the monster's snake-like tentacles from a distance.
Together with the five spherical melee puppets left at his side, he blocked all the monster's attacks.
"That's it!"
After a while, Fei Ru's voice transmission came into mind.
At the same time, Gao Yuan only felt a purple figure flash in the corner of his eyes.
Then Fei Ru was seen rushing out from the side, and her whole body was filled with red and rich energy and blood fluctuations.
Her body was surrounded by five objects of different shapes, each projecting a halo of different colors, firmly protecting her body within them.
All she could see was a brass bell with a red ribbon hanging above her head.
The surface of the latter has a spiritual light flowing around it, and it continuously makes a crisp sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding-ding".
It brought about waves of obscure energy fluctuations, which continued to spread towards the monster on the opposite side.
Affected by it, after Gao Yuan stopped casting the 'Soul Forbidden Curse', the monster that had just been about to become virtual suddenly turned from virtual to real again.
And the tentacles he swung out were all caught by Fei Ru.
…
After Feiru stepped forward to block the monster's attack, Gao Yuan moved his hand free without stopping at all. He touched the storage bag on his waist, and a top-quality 'Qinglan Ruler' appeared in his hand.
Compared to the powerful physical attack that can self-destruct a spherical battle puppet and launch directly, the top-quality 'Qinglan Ruler' is the only powerful spiritual attack method he can currently use.
Therefore, between the 'Qianyuan Order' and the 'Qinglan Ruler', he directly chose the latter.
He is already familiar with the spirit seal lifting method of 'Qing Lan Chi' and cannot be more familiar with it.
As soon as he got hold of the latter, he was covered with the power of his spiritual thoughts and started to chant and knead the spells quickly.
As he locked his Qi machine towards the monster in the distance, the huge binding power from the top-quality talisman erupted and instantly enveloped the monster.
The latter's body movements instantly became stagnant, and even the hand he raised high to strike down was frozen in mid-air under the influence of this restraining force.
After a short delay, the monster's body instantly turned from real to weak.
And Gao Yuan, who was connected to the mind of 'Qinglan Chi' through the power of his spiritual thoughts, suddenly felt a sense of emptiness, and the power of restraint that was originally almost substantial also lost its target.
I saw that the monster that was originally motionless regained its agility again.
No matter how hard Fei Ru tried her best to activate the bell above her head, causing ripples on its illusory body, the monster did not materialize again.
At the same time, the monster itself screamed repeatedly, continuously emitting the kind of screams that contained divine attacks, and attacked the two of them indiscriminately.
Fortunately, Feiru was very well prepared this time, and the gray light curtain surrounding her trembled violently, but did not break in the end.
"very good!"
Gao Yuan was delighted at this. Compared to the self-destruction of the puppet, the power of the top-quality 'Qinglan Ruler' was much more powerful.
As long as the monster does not choose to materialize and directly receives a blow from the top-notch "Qinglan Ruler", Gao Yuan is very confident that he will kill it with one blow!
With this thought, he separated out the threads of his spiritual thoughts and guided more than a dozen spherical battle puppets to gather towards the monster that had transformed into a virtual state and was attacking Feiru with full force of its soul attack.
…
Ten breaths of time passed in a blink of an eye. Gao Yuan suddenly paused for a moment with the magic formula in his hand, then turned it over slightly and pointed it at the monster opposite.
Before that, he had already given the order to self-destruct to the dozens of spherical combat puppets surrounding the monster according to the estimated lead time.
"Buzz!..."
In an instant, a gust of energy visible to the naked eye suddenly blew up in this huge corridor.
Along with the ocean of energy caused by the self-destruction of the spherical battle puppet, the 'Qinglan Ruler' in Gao Yuan's hand suddenly turned into a gray-green light and shadow rising into the sky, rushing towards the monster opposite.
In an instant, the monster's roar, which had never been heard before, suddenly stopped...
