"A-choo!"
Su Xiaoxiao felt her nose itchy and sneezed.
Luye stopped and turned to look at her.
"What's wrong? Was it too cold last night and you caught a cold?"
"I can take your pulse, let me see!"
Zhao Zixu came up to Su Xiaoxiao and wanted to take her pulse.
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "It's okay, just a small problem."
"A cold is no small matter. If you don't handle it right, it can be fatal. Let me take your pulse!"
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't resist him and put her hand in front of him.
Zhao Zixu gently placed his fingers on her pulse and quickly withdrew them.
Shikano stared at him without blinking, waiting for his diagnosis.
"It's okay, Xiaoxiao didn't catch a cold and is in good health."
"It's not so easy for a martial artist to catch a cold." Su Xiaoxiao smiled and looked at the three people in front of her: "Don't worry about me, I'm not that fragile."
With Su Xiaoxiao's words and Zhao Zixu's medical skills, everyone felt relieved and continued to move forward.
The journey was relatively peaceful.
I didn't encounter any puppets, but I did encounter a lot of fire grass.
They walked and stopped along the way, and around noon, they came to a fork in the road.
Before Zhao Zixu could make a choice, the stone on the ground suddenly moved.
Su Xiaoxiao was the first to notice something was wrong and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"This is the most difficult stone man mechanism in the small secret realm. Everyone be careful!"
Lu Lian frowned and looked warily at the shaking stones on the ground.
According to past experience, those who enter the secret realm will have the opportunity to encounter the Stone Man Mechanism only on the third day.
But this time, it was ahead of schedule!
As her voice fell, all the stones on the ground flew up.
They piled together to form five stone men.
Everyone held a stone sword in his hand.
They seemed to be alive and quickly attacked Su Xiaoxiao and others.
Except for Lu Lian, no one else knew anything about this stone man mechanism.
Luye drew his sword and said proudly, "Isn't this just to give us points? Just fight and it's over!"
After saying this, he was the first to rush forward.
Although Lu Lian disliked him, Lu Ye was still a member of her Lu family after all.
Seeing Shikano rush forward, she frowned and went forward to help.
The others were not idle either and joined the battle one after another.
There are the same number of stone men as Su Xiaoxiao and others, and each of them deals with one.
But the stone men are different from other puppets. When swords and knives hit them, they only make a "clang clang" sound but cannot cause any harm to them.
Seeing that swords and knives were useless against them, Su Xiaoxiao used her passive skill to hit the stone men.
The stone man was knocked away by her, and the stones immediately scattered all over the ground.
She was delighted and turned to look at Luye and others.
"Swords and knives are useless against them. Find a way to break them apart!"
Su Xiaoxiao told Lu Ye and others about her experience.
When Shikano heard her words, he turned to look at her, his eyes widening in fear.
"Xiao... Xiaoxiao, behind... behind me!"
"Um?"
Su Xiaoxiao frowned and turned around curiously, just in time to see the stone that she had just knocked away reassembled and turned into two stone men.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
What the hell is this thing? Why does it keep getting more and more the more I fight?
"Little girl, we used that trick of yours last year, and it didn't work. The Stone Man mechanism only has a puppet heart. Only by finding the puppet heart can the Stone Man mechanism be broken."
Hearing Lu Lian's words, Lu Ye was stunned.
"Six stone men, but only one puppet heart. How do we find it?"
"Isn't it said that every puppet has its own heart? Isn't the creator of this stone man mechanism too stingy?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the stone man approaching quickly with disdain.
"Aunt, we spent a lot of effort to obtain a puppet heart. Otherwise, we should retreat!"
"Once we encounter the Stone Man trap, there's no escape. No matter how we run, they'll catch up. Unless..."
"Unless what?"
Hearing that there was an exception, Su Xiaoxiao and the others' eyes lit up.
But the next moment, they heard Lu Lian sigh softly.
"Unless someone else passes by, let them fight the stone man here instead of us."
"Others?" Su Xiaoxiao was depressed. "We've been in the small secret realm for a day and a half, and we've only met you. I guess the small secret realm is very large, and it wouldn't be easy to meet other people here."
Su Xiaoxiao muttered softly while resisting the stone man.
Lu Lian nodded in agreement: "So we still have to find the puppet's heart!"
"That's all we can do." Su Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and turned to look at Lu Lian: "Aunt, please move aside."
"good!"
Lu Lian didn't know what Su Xiaoxiao wanted to do, but she still obediently moved away.
The stone man thought she wanted to escape and chased after her clumsily.
However, after just a few steps, he was knocked to pieces by Su Xiaoxiao who suddenly rushed over.
Su Xiaoxiao searched among the scattered stones but did not find the puppet's heart.
She quickly retreated from the pile of stones and looked at the scattered stones, which formed two stone men again.
"None of these four stone men have the Puppet Heart. You guys resist first, I'll go and eliminate the other stone men."
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao's voice fell, the stone man seemed to have gained intelligence.
The four stone men who had just been reorganized suddenly regrouped in pairs and gathered together with the other three stone men.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
Can we still play like this?
Luye stared at the changes in front of him, feeling a little discouraged.
"It's over, there's no solution to this stone man mechanism!"
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that these stone men can understand what we say. As long as we let them know our plan, they will be able to make corresponding countermeasures."
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
This is really unplayable!
"Heh, Su Xiaoxiao, I thought you were so strong, but I didn't expect you couldn't even beat a stone man. Do you want us to come and help you?"
A familiar voice came from the forest.
Su Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw Fang Chengyu and Wen Jiuer walking slowly towards her, and she was delighted.
It’s like a pillow is provided when one is sleepy. These two people came at the perfect time!
Su Xiaoxiao was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
She deliberately pretended to be alert and stared at Fang Chengyu and Wen Jiuer.
"Don't come over here. This is the puppet we found with great difficulty. If you want the puppet's heart, go find it yourself!"
"We are classmates, how can you be so cold-blooded?" Fang Chengyu raised the corner of his mouth: "Miss Wen, let's go and help them!"
"Okay, I'm happy to help!"
The two men drew their weapons and quickly attacked the stone man.
Their purpose was simple: to steal the puppet hearts of Su Xiaoxiao and the others.
