Chapter 298 300 Black Armor Puppets (Thanks to Dongfang Fengyun for the reward)
Ning Qingyun felt a chill in his heart and climbed up the rope without hesitation. He decided to go back to the maze and think of other ways!
But he soon found something wrong. He had just climbed to the place where he fell, but could not climb up any further. It was as if there was a transparent barrier in the middle that annihilated the spiritual energy and black fire. He tried every possible way and could not get through.
This barrier is similar to a one-way barrier, which allows entry but not exit.
Just when Ning Qingyun was trying to find a way to return to the maze, the "army" walking in the darkness revealed its true appearance.
They were about two meters tall, their movements were uniform, their steps were monotonous and a little stiff. It was an army of puppets.
Puppets wearing black armor and helmets came like a tide, endlessly. Each puppet held a sharp spear nearly three meters long in its hand. The puppets' heads seemed to be made of stone, and their faces were carved very simply, with only two holes chiseled out to serve as eyes, and the rest of the parts were all omitted.
Ning Qingyun didn't know how these puppets locked onto him. He only saw the puppets with empty eyes on their faces staring at him who was hanging in the air.
Since there is no way to retreat, we have no choice but to fight.
Ning Qingyun swung the rope in his hand vigorously and crossed to the open space where the two teams of puppets had not yet gathered together. The Ruyi Double Rings turned into nine, and two into eighteen. He attached the spiritual energy with annihilation effect to the weapons and fought with the puppet army.
The puppets' combat effectiveness is average, and a single puppet is not difficult to deal with. Soon, puppets keep falling down and losing their combat effectiveness.
In the initial battle, Ning Qingyun had an absolute advantage. However, during the battle, Ning Qingyun's physical strength was constantly draining away.
The puppet had no sense of pain or perception, and was not afraid of the death of its companions. Even if one of its arms and legs was cut off, it still dragged its spear and charged towards Ning Qingyun with determination.
Ning Qingyun even saw some puppets whose heads had been chopped off by him, but they still stubbornly maintained their fighting power.
Ning Qingyun's movements of chopping the puppets gradually slowed down, but the puppet army was still as dark and boundless as ever.
Whenever he was about to be surrounded by the black-armored puppets, Ning Qingyun would mobilize the black fire in his body and clear a space around him. As long as these black-armored puppets were contaminated by a little black fire, they would be burned to death.
However, although the black fire is extremely powerful, it is not inexhaustible. The black fire is just a spark and needs to be nourished by the spiritual energy in the body. Ning Qingyun is already a cultivator at the top of the Qi Bridge Realm, and the spiritual energy in his body is very abundant, but facing this surging army of puppets, it is not worth mentioning.
Ning Qingyun did not panic when facing the boundless and seemingly endless army of puppets. He began to observe carefully and deliberately summarize the patterns.
Why do some puppets seem to have not suffered much damage but have lost their fighting ability, while some puppets have broken limbs or even heads but still resist stubbornly?
Gradually, Ning Qingyun discovered that as long as he hit the puppet's weakness, the puppet would lose its combat effectiveness, and would fall down immediately even if it did not appear to have any damage on the outside.
However, the problem is that the weaknesses of these puppets are not in the same position. Some puppets have weaknesses in the chest, some have weaknesses in the neck, and some have weaknesses in the lower abdomen. These puppets look exactly the same in appearance, with no difference in equipment or size or height. How can they be distinguished?
When killing the puppet at the beginning, Ning Qingyun needed to test those three positions one by one. The long battle made his physical strength drain quickly. The weapon in his hand became heavier and heavier. His arm could hardly lift it. He even had double vision in front of his eyes. When his body was tired to the extreme, his mental consciousness seemed to float in the clouds, and his soul was in an exceptionally clear state. At this time, Ning Qingyun could hit the puppet's weakness every time. It seemed to have become a strange intuition, as if he could subconsciously know where the puppet's weakness was.
This undoubtedly greatly increased Ning Qingyun's efficiency in killing the enemy.
There were several times when Ning Qingyun felt that he was about to fall down. He was stabbed countless times by the spears in the hands of the black-armored puppet. It was not known whether it was because the protective power of his clothes was particularly strong, or because the spears in the hands of the black-armored puppet had poor penetrating power. In short, Ning Qingyun only felt slight pain after being stabbed in the vitals by the spears many times, and did not suffer any fatal injuries.
Ning Qingyun's physical strength was gradually exhausted, but the spiritual energy in his body was still sufficient, so he transformed the Ruyi Double Rings into the third form. With a "clang", the black, white and yellow areas of the rings opened layer by layer, and the rings turned into three scimitars. The killing range was instantly expanded three times, and the black fire nourished by the spiritual energy spread to each scimitar.
This time, Ning Qingyun controlled the use of black fire precisely. He only touched the weak points of the black-armored puppets and moved away. Large groups of black-armored puppets fell down at the same time. Ning Qingyun finally changed from being surrounded to actively attacking. The space he cleared became larger and larger, and the cave seemed empty again.
However, the spiritual energy in Ning Qingyun's body was rapidly dissipating. He knew that if he could not get rid of these black-armored puppets as soon as possible, he would soon be unable to hold on.
Mechanical killing seemed to have become an instinct. He could not even feel the fatigue of his body. The Ruyi double rings in his hands seemed to be not under his control.
Finally, the last black-armored puppet was chopped to the ground by him.
Ning Qingyun fell to the ground with a thud, together with the puppets lying on the ground. He could not even lift a finger. If there was anything that wanted to harm him, he would have no choice but to wait for death.
Ning Qingyun was physically exhausted, but mentally excited. His mind kept recalling the strange intuition he had just had when he was killing, the strange intuition that could tell the weakness of the black-armored puppet at a glance.
It seems that this cave should also be a part of the underground palace. Now that I have passed the level of the black-armored puppet, I wonder what the reward will be?
