Chapter 176 Puppet



Wu Mu's gaze quickly locked onto Yu Xiangnan. Seeing that she was wearing an invisibility cloak and her face was blurred, a smile instantly bloomed on his face.

However, the upward curve of his lips carried a strange undertone: "Yu Xiangnan, you're disfigured?"

Yu Xiangnan: "???"

Yu Xiangnan remained silent, her gaze calm, like a deep, unfathomable pool, as she silently cast her eyes toward Wu Mu's back.

They immediately noticed that there was a player named [Wanxiang] standing behind Wu Mu.

She was a girl who looked like she wasn't even an adult yet. She was so thin that a gust of wind could blow her over, and her hair was a bit messy.

Seemingly noticing that Yu Xiangnan was looking at her, the girl glanced at her as well, her eyes revealing a calmness beyond her years.

Yu Xiangnan's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Unfortunately, the player's personal information panel is not visible at the moment, so there is no way to know the girl's name and level.

Seeing that Yu Xiangnan remained silent and did not answer her, Wu Mu was not annoyed. She smiled slightly and let out two soft laughs.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Although Ning Xiluo's expression remained unchanged, he gripped the curved sword at his waist with his right hand, seemingly ready to launch an attack.

Ji Xiaoyin instantly became alert, instinctively gripping her weapon tightly, her whole body tense, muttering to herself, "The first person I encountered was someone from [Wanxiang]..."

This person's clothing and appearance seem to match the player named "Wu Mu".

However, she seems to know the president?

Although the situation appeared to be 2 vs 4, Wu Mu showed no sign of panic.

She raised her hand and swung it, then pulled.

Boom—

The ground began to tremble violently, and a group of puppets appeared out of thin air, crashing to the ground with a loud bang like heavy metal instruments being struck.

These puppets come in various shapes and sizes. At their joints, translucent, fiber-optic-like threads are tightly intertwined. These threads eventually converge in Wu Mu's hand, like the nerve pathways through which she controls these mechanical puppets.

Wu Mu gently tugged at the silk thread.

In an instant, the puppets seemed to be activated. The tall and powerful puppet launched the first attack on Yu Xiangnan, its mechanical arm swinging out with tremendous force. The small and agile puppets darted around the side, seemingly searching for her blind spots.

The other puppets quickly surrounded Ning Haizhi, Ji Xiaoyin, and Shi Gu.

For a moment, the four were surrounded by a group of puppets with different styles but working in perfect harmony, unable to move.

"President..."

"Everyone, don't gather together. Spread out and maneuver around these puppets. Survival is the priority. I'll handle the attacks!"

After speaking, Yu Xiangnan leaped to a high place, easily dodging the puppet's attack. She quickly searched for weaknesses in the puppet's defenses while closely monitoring Wu Mu's movements.

Same old story, they start fighting at the drop of a hat...

However, this battle was indeed unavoidable.

We can prioritize attacking Wu Mu, who controls the puppets, just like before, because the puppets can be resurrected after being defeated. However, if we attack Wu Mu, these puppets will be no different from a pile of scrap metal without their controller.

She was still somewhat concerned about the girl next to Wu Mu, after all, it was a multi-person battle, completely different from a 1v1.

Ning Xiluo's thoughts were clearly similar to Yu Xiangnan's. She quickly shook off the group of puppets surrounding her, concealed herself, and approached Wu Mu.

Seeing that the time was right, she held her curved blade, narrowed her eyes, and thrust it straight at Wu Mu with a sharp, cold glint in her eyes!

Wu Mu sensed danger and dodged, but at the same time, Yu Xiangnan's small broken shovel also attacked her.

Wu Mu quickly pulled, and a puppet descended from the sky, instantly blocking her way and taking the blow for her.

"clang--"

The scimitar and shovel clashed violently with the puppet's metal body, sparks flying everywhere, accompanied by a sharp, piercing, and teeth-grinding sound.

Although this attack failed to damage Wu Mu, it gave her a general idea of ​​her defensive range and skill characteristics.

Wu Mu's control over the puppets is subject to specific range limitations. As the puppets move further away from her, their movement speed gradually decreases, and their mobility is weakened. If the distance exceeds the hundred-meter limit, the control threads maintaining the two will completely break, and the puppets will fall into a state of chaos, no longer obeying Wu Mu's commands, and can only remain stationary or move blindly like ownerless objects.

In that case, there is a solution.

Yu Xiangnan quickly typed a few words in the guild's internal channel and tagged Ning Xiluo, Ji Xiaoyin, and Shi Gu.

The four quickly exchanged glances and nodded.

Next, Shi Gu quickly created a bunch of buff potions and threw them to the three of them.

After drinking the speed-boosting drink, Yu Xiangnan deliberately provoked the puppets from a distance, causing them to chase after him. Taking advantage of their slow speed when they were far away from Wu Mu, he maneuvered flexibly, fighting and retreating at the same time, leading some of the puppets to a distance of more than 100 meters from Wu Mu, causing them to lose control.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ning Xiluo rushed towards Wu Mu at full speed. Although the puppets protected her as she approached, her speed was greatly reduced. She dodged left and right, using her agility to avoid attacks, and finally successfully broke through the defenses to engage Wu Mu in close combat.

Therefore, Wu Mu had no time to control the puppets in the distance and could only focus on dealing with Ning Xiluo.

Ji Xiaoyin hid in a safe place and quickly healed Yu Xiangnan and Ning Xiluo, who were the main attackers.

The situation has begun to turn one-sided.

At this moment, the girl who hadn't made a move suddenly stirred. In her hand, a tattered rag doll with pigtails appeared out of thin air.

Hiding in the shadows, Ji Xiaoyin suddenly noticed a dark mark above her head, and her expression changed.

Before Ji Xiaoyin could react, the girl's slender fingers slowly pulled a silver needle from inside the doll's clothes, raised the needle high, and suddenly stabbed it down.

With each prick of the needle, a dark halo emanated from the rag doll, spreading out like ripples. Ji Xiaoyin, whose head bore the curse mark, seemed to be gripped by an invisible force, unable to move, while his life force rapidly drained away.

[Hint]: Health -500

Health -500

Health -500

......

Yu Xiangnan, who had been keeping an eye on his teammates, quickly noticed this.

Oh no, our nanny is under attack!

What kind of profession is this that allows it to remotely lock onto players and launch attacks?
