"Fortunately, the gods have disappeared, and there is almost no such terrible power on the Holy Orchid Star!" Rona said with some relief.

After hearing this, Ye Wuyan, who originally liked to remain silent, shook his head in self-mockery.

"The gods are still the masters, but for some unknown reason, there has been almost no trace of the gods in the past thousand years! Perhaps, one day in the near future, gods like Medusa will all wake up from silence!" Ye Wuyan said lightly.

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Qi Ji spread his hands and said, "Do we need to be afraid? And is fear useful?"

Linghua nodded in agreement: "The gods are too far away from us. We are not qualified to think about this problem now. Let's think about how to complete the current task."

As soon as Linghua said this, everyone present came out of their confusion and returned to their normal state.

Qi Ji smiled and nodded: "That's right, let's set off quickly and collect the three-color refining stones in Hurricane Canyon as soon as possible."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and headed towards the fog in the Hurricane Canyon a few kilometers away.

…

In the foggy area at the edge of Hurricane Canyon, on a rocky ground under a sandy slope.

At this moment, the two teams are confronting each other.

One of the teams was the elite Class 1B team led by Saint Leya Qian Bingyu.

The other team consisted of only sinister-looking, burly middle-aged men in robes.

Behind this middle-aged man there was a group of people. To be precise, they were not people, but rather humanoid monsters that looked somewhat scattered and had black and rotten bodies.

"It seems that I am lucky. Not only did I pick up a treasure, but I also encountered a puppet sample of good quality." Qi Jiuyou said happily.

Obviously, in his eyes, human life is as cheap as the stones on the ground, and its greatest value is to be made into a puppet.

"Dark Puppet! You are from the Evil Fang Palace!" Qian Bingyu said coldly.

"Evil Fang Palace, oh my god, that's the legendary dark puppet! Why are we so unlucky?"

"Yeah, that guy is so ugly, it makes my scalp tingle just by looking at him."

"Yeah, and his head looked like it was gnawed by a dog. It was very weird. And his skin was actually purple all over, like he was poisoned."

…

Although the members of Group 1B were somewhat shocked to have encountered people from the Evil Fang Temple, none of them seemed that flustered.

After all, their number is no less than that of the other side, and Qian Bingyu is the strongest echelon among the students of Saint Rhea College.

"Well, girl, you are quite knowledgeable and you have a pretty face. Just admit defeat obediently. I might be able to make you into an exquisite puppet for my amusement. Haha..." Qi Jiuyou laughed.

Qian Bingyu immediately mobilized all the energy in his body and then used one of his special moves - Ice Shattering Slash.

Suddenly, a huge blue sword condensed in her hand.

Then she swung the sword heavily and smashed it hard towards Qi Jiuyou's head.

Faced with such a powerful attack, Qi Jiuyou did not dodge, but casually used his index finger to block the attack of the huge ice sword.

The ice sword was shattered into pieces in an instant after it touched Qi Jiuyou's index finger.

All members of Group B opened their mouths wide, revealing expressions of disbelief.

"The captain's powerful attack was crushed by just one finger. Who is he? How can he be so powerful?"

"It's over, we're done. The Evil Fang Palace will never show mercy. It looks like we're all in big trouble this time."

"Hey, hey, can you please stop cursing like that?"

…

Qian Bingyu looked at the strange middle-aged man with an extremely solemn look in her eyes.

The middle-aged man in front of him brought her too much pressure, almost as much as the pressure her teacher brought her.

You know, her teacher is the Ice Queen, one of the ten great war kings in the academy!

"Who are you to the Evil Fang Palace?" Qian Bingyu asked with a serious look.

Qi Jiuyou laughed sinisterly a few times, then said: "I didn't want to tell you at first, but since you are my future plaything, I will tell you my name. My name is Qi Jiuyou."

After hearing this, Qian Bingyu felt as if she had fallen into an ice valley that had existed for thousands of years. Her whole body felt cold and her face turned slightly pale.

Other people also heard the name. Some of them looked confused, but some others had deep fear in their eyes.

"You are Qi Jiuyou, the legendary man who slaughtered humans as puppets! Were you responsible for the shocking bloody incident 10 years ago?" Qian Bingyu said with a slight tremor.

Qi Jiuyou smiled and nodded, with a sense of accomplishment in his eyes: "Yes, I am Qi Jiuyou. Well, I have answered your questions, so I will take action next. Are you ready to welcome the embrace of the evil god?"

"Let's run!"

"If you don't run, you'll die!"

"Run, can you run? Qi Jiuyou's fighting power is said to have reached the level of a war king!"

"Are we just going to stand here and wait to die?"

…

Qi Jiuyou had a contented expression on his face, he had no intention of doing it himself at all.

He felt that it would be too cheap to deal with these ants himself.

"Well, go ahead and suck their blood as much as you want, but don't hurt your bodies." Qi Jiuyou spoke to the dark puppets as if he were talking to his own pet cats.

After hearing this, a group of dark puppets rushed towards the members of Group B without saying a word. There were about 13 of them.

"So fast!" Qian Bingyu exclaimed.

Then she hurriedly set up a thick ice wall in front of everyone, and soon these dark puppets crashed into the ice wall.

With a loud bang, under the violent impact, dense cracks soon appeared on the ice wall, and then it collapsed and turned into a pile of ice blocks of different sizes.

Qian Bingyu was shocked, because her ice wall would take nearly 10 minutes to completely destroy even for a warrior at the early stage of the general level.

However, under the state of these dark puppets, these ice walls were easily destroyed in less than 5 seconds.

These dark puppets are so terrifying! This is what everyone in Group B is thinking at this moment.

"Are we going to die today?"

"I haven't found a boyfriend yet, and I'm not married yet!"

“What if my relatives died?”

"The Dark Puppet is too strong. We are barely even at the level of a general. We are not even a match for it! Not to mention Qi Jiuyou who is eyeing us covetously."

"It would be great if Instructor Kyle was here. He is the Hunter King and can pin Qi Jiuyou to the ground in a minute!"

Qian Bingyu knew that there was a high chance that they would die here today.

She had sent a distress signal to her teacher, but Qian Bingyu no longer held out any hope.

Qian Bingyu took out a miniature card nuclear bomb from her space ring. She was prepared to die together with these dark puppets to buy time for Group B to escape.

"You guys go quickly, I will hold them off now and buy you some time." Qian Bingyu said hurriedly.
