Chapter 129 Immortal Level Puppet
Gu Shihan has spent three full days in the space, paying close attention to his physical condition. He only left the space after confirming that there was nothing abnormal and no hidden injuries.
The Moonlight Bracelet she possesses is an extremely magical treasure. The speed of time flowing inside it is astonishingly one to thirty.
To put it simply, only one day has passed in the outside world, but in this space it is equivalent to thirty days.
How can one not be excited by such a huge disparity in the time ratio?
Because of the treasure, the Yuehua Bracelet, Gu Shihan seemed to have inexhaustible time.
It is precisely because of this unique advantage that she has enough confidence to simultaneously delve into the art of talismans, explore the art of alchemy, study the secrets of formations, and constantly improve her own cultivation level. It can be said that she is able to take care of all of these without interfering with each other.
Xing Bai saw Gu Shihan and hurriedly said, "Hanhan, you finally came out! If you didn't come out, I was going to go in and look for you!"
Xing Bai had been waiting in front of the formation - the Mirror Light Formation. At this moment, his face was full of seriousness.
Hearing Xingbai's words, Gu Shihan quickly stepped forward and asked, "Xingbai, what happened?"
Xing Bai pointed to the body of the masked man in black robe on the ground and said anxiously, "Hanhan, look at the body of the man in black robe. I feel like he's getting bigger. I'm afraid there's going to be a lot of trouble!"
After hearing this, Gu Shihan and Xingbai stepped out of the barrier.
His eyes were like two sharp arrows, fixed firmly on the body of the masked and black-robed man in front of him.
As expected, just as Xing Bai had said before, this person's body was quietly undergoing subtle changes at this moment. If it weren't for the use of spiritual sense, the changes would probably not be visible to the naked eye.
Gu Shihan, however, acted somewhat nonchalant. He waved his hand and was about to throw out a fireball to burn the corpse.
"Stop! Don't burn it!" Xing Bai hurriedly stopped Gu Shihan's actions.
His small body flashed and quickly circled around the man in black robe as fast as the wind.
In an instant, the air seemed to become tense because of his actions, and Xingbai's behavior stunned Gu Shihan.
The next moment, Xing Bai suddenly screamed in fear: "Hanhan, something bad has happened! This guy is not a real human being at all, but a controlled fairy-level puppet! Looking at the situation, it is obvious that he has started to activate the self-destruction program! Once it self-destructs, his master will be able to check our situation."
Before he finished speaking, Xingbai took action without hesitation.
His small and nimble claws suddenly grabbed towards the black-robed man's head like lightning, and the speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly.
In the blink of an eye, a bead emitting soft white light had fallen steadily into his hand.
The contempt on Gu Shihan's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression. She approached the body cautiously, carefully examining every detail.
"Xingbai, you are right. This is indeed a human body, but many parts of it clearly show signs of repair."
As Gu Shihan spoke, he gently touched the repaired areas with his spiritual power, feeling the subtle differences.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that the internal organs of the black-robed man in front of her were all cold machines!
In terms of appearance, texture and functioning, these organs are almost identical to those of living people, and are even superior in some aspects.
After all, they will never get sick, and most likely have the sentience given to them by their creators, allowing them to act freely according to their owner's wishes.
Xing Bai closed his eyes tightly, trying to search for the memory of the Immortal-level puppet in the depths of his mind. As his memories deepened, his face became more and more ugly, and his heart was filled with fear.
Xing Bai said in a trembling voice: "Hanhan, although we are temporarily safe after taking out the bead. But... without the control of the bead, this corpse is rapidly expanding!"
When Gu Shihan heard the noise, he was startled and turned around hurriedly to check the situation.
Wherever she looked, she was shocked to find that the corpse that was originally lying quietly on the ground was undergoing amazing changes.
The corpse continued to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a giant over-inflated balloon, getting bigger and more bulging with every second.
Seeing this scene, Gu Shihan couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart: "Oh no! This is going to be a big trouble!"
It is well known that the reason why the corpse is in such a strange condition is because its flesh has been soaked in countless different kinds of medicinal liquids for a long time.
After such a long period of immersion, the toxins contained in the corpse must have reached an extremely terrifying level.
If this corpse is allowed to continue to swell until it eventually explodes, the poison it releases will likely spread rapidly, corroding all areas within a thousand miles. The consequences would then be unimaginable!
Xing Bai, who was standing by, also realized the seriousness of the situation. She did not dare to delay for a moment, and her hands quickly formed seals like a phantom. Strands of restraining power instantly surged out from her hands, tightly surrounding the corpse, forming a solid barrier to prevent the poison gas from spreading outward.
However, in just a few breaths, the green plants around the corpse began to show signs of withering and dying.
Those plants that were once full of vitality and green seemed to have suffered a fatal blow at this moment. Their leaves turned yellow, their branches dried up, and their vitality rapidly faded away.
This shows how fierce and terrifying the poison contained in this corpse is.
If effective measures are not taken in time to curb it and this situation is allowed to continue, this land will inevitably face a devastating catastrophe.
At present, the most feasible and effective solution is to start a raging fire before the corpse completes the transformation and burn it completely to ashes to prevent future troubles.
Gu Shihan's eyes focused, without any hesitation. She waved her jade hand, and a ball of blazing red lotus fire suddenly appeared.
However, what was strange was that the Red Lotus Fire, which was known to burn everything, seemed to have lost its effect after coming into contact with the corpse in front of it, and was unable to ignite and burn it.
Not even a trace was left, as if what it burned was just the ethereal air.
"Xingbai, what is going on? Why can't the Red Lotus Karma Fire burn this corpse?" Gu Shihan frowned, turned his head and looked at Xingbai beside him with a puzzled look and asked.
