"Hehehe~"

Song Xin covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, saying nonchalantly, "If you have to blame someone, blame this body for not being enough to satisfy me, and for you to happen to have something that connects you to her."

A chill ran through Li Yun's heart, and pain and shame welled up inside her.

He only knew that magic could not be used here and that he needed to select someone with an outstanding physical body to help him.

Chen Yi and Han Shan were both outstanding individuals he carefully selected after careful consideration.

As for whether there are more outstanding individuals within the Hidden Moon Sect, he thought there certainly are, but those people might not be interested in this kind of mission.

"Senior Sister Han, Junior Brother Chen, I'm sorry, I... I didn't know it would turn out like this."

The reason Li Yun looked pained and ashamed was that she felt she had harmed the two of them.

Perhaps the best outcome would be if he came alone.

Even if he is eventually possessed, at least he can stay with Song Xin.

Han Shan frowned and said, "None of us could have predicted this outcome. I came here voluntarily."

Chen Yi also sighed, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Finding a way to leave this place is the important thing."

He didn't blame Li Yun in his heart, after all, taking on a mission meant taking on risks.

Fortunately, he had made preparations for everything before he came here...

"Alright, that concludes our reminiscing. Now it's your turn to shine."

Song Xin's figure vanished in an instant.

At the same time, a rustling sound came from outside the hall.

The three looked back and saw dozens of figures appear outside the hall.

Some of these people were dressed in the attire of the Hidden Moon Sect, while others wore clothing from other sects.

Some bodies were rotten, revealing bones, while others exuded a strange aura, appearing formidable.

As Chen Yi looked at these people, a sense of familiarity touched his heart.

"These people have all been turned into puppets?"

That's right, apart from the body he possessed, the other bodies that the Lord of this cave had not chosen or abandoned were all turned into puppets!

This means that their fate will either be to become new vessels for the Lord of the Cave Heaven, or to become her puppets.

"There must be a third way out," Chen Yi thought calmly and rationally.

Why did the master of that grotto-heaven not take action himself, but instead send these puppets to do it?

Based on what she just said, we can infer that she is not very strong now, and at least she is no match for the three of them combined.

Of course, it's also possible that she disdains to take action or has some ulterior motive.

But Chen Yi preferred the former.

If the soul of a powerful being is incompatible with the physical body and forces itself into battle, it will inevitably lead to the destruction of Song Xin's physical body.

In that light, it's not entirely impossible to defeat them...

"They're here!"

Han Shan's shout brought Chen Yi back to his senses.

The dozens of puppets had already surrounded the main hall.

Three of them rushed towards the three people.

"Bang!"

"Junior Brother Chen, be careful!" Han Shan warned.

Li Yun took a deep breath. "If we can't defeat them, call for help."

Chen Yi nodded.

He habitually tried to concentrate his magical power, and sure enough, not only was his magical power severely obstructed within his body, but once he successfully concentrated it, he only had less than one-tenth of his full strength left.

And this one-tenth will vanish into nothingness within three seconds...

Left with no other choice, he could only fight the oncoming puppets with his own body.

"Bang!"

The two fists collided, each retreating several steps.

Chen Yi's expression turned solemn; the puppet's power was indeed considerable.

He suddenly thought of something, and with a wave of his hand, the Yangwen Sword appeared in his hand.

At this moment, the puppet lunged forward again, only to be met with Chen Yi's sword strike.

"puff!"

The puppet's arm was severed.

Chen Yi's lips curled up slightly.

As the saying goes, no matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife. There's a difference between fighting with your bare hands and fighting with a sword.

The flow of magical energy is restricted here, so the Yangwen Sword cannot function properly, but as a weapon, it is surprisingly effective.

Seeing this, Han Shan and Li Yun, who were standing nearby, quickly took out their respective magical artifacts to serve as weapons.

They were all trained in swordsmanship, and even though they couldn't unleash sword energy or sword light, they were still more proficient in some techniques than in fist and palm techniques.

As a result, the three of them subtly gained the upper hand.

The three puppets that attacked first were all wounded and forced to retreat.

Song Xin's voice came again: "Not bad, at least better than the previous batch..."

As soon as she finished speaking, several more puppets stepped forward.

This time the quantity is twice as much as before, and the quality is also better.

If the three puppets before were in a state of decay, this one is in a state of partial decay.

While dealing with the puppets, Chen Yi analyzed, "Why is she sending waves of puppets up? Could it be that she wants to wear us down?"

After all, if the opponent had simply ordered the puppets to swarm in, the three of them would have had a hard time resisting, but the opponent had chosen this method of attrition warfare.

This made him suspect that the other party had to exhaust the target's physical body to the extreme before possessing them...

"puff!"

This time, Chen Yi acted even more swiftly.

His swordplay resembled precise surgical techniques, relentlessly dismembering the puppet...

Even Han Shan and Li Yun didn't possess such skills.

Both of them were equally shocked.

Chen Yi's physical abilities were slightly inferior to the two of them, but he was faster at dealing with the puppets!

This is all because Chen Yi himself had studied puppetry!

Keep in mind that his is at level 1 and even has the attribute [Basic Structure]!

Entry [Basic Structure]: You can disassemble the puppet's basic structure without affecting the core and rune array.

This entry once helped the teachers of Cangyan High School dismantle a crazed puppet during the Five Schools Joint Examination.

This is why he was able to easily dismember these puppets.

"Junior Brother Chen isn't as weak as I imagined..."

"On the contrary, the two of us performed worse than him."

Han Shan and Li Yun realized that their worries were somewhat unnecessary.

Chen Yi is hardly the junior brother they need to worry about.

He's even more ruthless than the two of them!

With their attention no longer distracted by Chen Yi, the two men became more focused and quickly repelled the two puppets.

Yes, all they can do is repel them.

After all, these puppets would leave the main hall if they were too badly injured.

Only by directly dismembering its arms and legs and destroying its core, as Chen Yi did, could it be completely preserved.

Before they could catch their breath, the third wave of puppets attacked.

These puppets did not rot; instead, they emitted a metallic tungsten glow.

"This is my masterpiece!" Song Xin's voice echoed throughout the hall.

"call......"

Li Yun took a breath.

He took out a vial of medicine and injected it into his body, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

This medicine was prepared for this trip; it could accelerate the recovery of physical strength and blood, and temporarily strengthen the body.

"boom!"

Li Yun's speed, strength, and defense all increased by 30%, allowing him to fight the three puppets attacking him to a standstill for a time...
