These puppets were shouting loudly, their jaws, which had long since lost their skin, were expanding wildly, as if trying to swallow all the air in the air and then emanate it out in that strange sound.
They emitted strange cackling sounds, which greatly annoyed Xie Zhou. These puppets were extremely ugly; they didn't resemble humans at all. Their bodies were wrapped in bandages, like white skeletons that had just emerged from their graves and were about to turn to dust.
They kept making noises and attacking her relentlessly, and some of these puppets' attacks did have some spiritual power.
She kept sending out balls of spiritual energy towards Xie Zhou. She also became interested in these things. She didn't expect that such a puppet could use spiritual power. Moreover, the spiritual power was not bad. It was also good at all kinds of attacks.
However, she discovered that their duration was very short. It seemed that the puppet whose body was being controlled by someone had no mind of its own, so how could it control that spiritual power for such a long time?
It is estimated that this spiritual power also comes from its host, that is, from the person who controls these puppets, which is a humanoid figure transformed from that afterimage.
However, Xie Zhou also had no way of determining who he was.
Moreover, with the help of the system, she pounced towards that afterimage step by step, but there were always puppets constantly blocking her way, as if they could never be killed off. She would kill one when one came, or kill two when two came.
Xie Zhou's arms seemed to have become mechanical. Whenever a puppet attacked her, she would draw her peerless sword and swing it. The sword wind mixed with some spiritual power would scatter the puppets in all directions.
It's strange, though. The skeletons of those puppets that were clearly dead are still lying on the ground, but a puppet will suddenly pop up from underground.
Xie Zhou felt that this stalemate was not a solution and that a quick resolution was best. Although these puppets, which were being controlled by others, were not particularly strong in attack, the best course of action was to capture the leader first.
But it didn't even get close to that afterimage, so how could we talk about this?
Moreover, this is a monster that escaped from an unknown formation. It seems that one day it will cause trouble for the world. Just like the dragon said before, it is its duty to save the world, regardless of its own safety. However, given her nature of helping those in need, she will not simply let it go.
She herself is in trouble, and she must find out who those puppets and that unknown figure are.
The altar was still emitting light, forming a halo, from which unknown monsters continued to crawl out. These monsters seemed oblivious, as if they didn't even see Xie Zhou, and simply swept past him, disappearing to who-knows-where.
Xie Zhou could only fight against the puppets she controlled.
The figure was only an outline, without any facial features or limbs. However, within that afterimage, one could almost feel a slight smile playing on his lips, conveying a sense of mockery.
"System, system, what the hell are these puppets? How come they can't be killed or killed indefinitely? And that afterimage is something that was sealed away, but I thought it was some kind of weapon. I didn't expect it to have developed intelligence."
The system replied, "Host, don't be impatient. The system is constantly releasing the power of all living beings to completely remove the control marks on those puppets, so they won't keep appearing. Don't worry, it will be soon."
Xie Zhou nodded and then continued fighting the puppets.
She moved with ease among the puppets, wielding her peerless sword and killing them one by one. She was about to reach the afterimage, but the afterimage vanished from Xie Zhou's sight in an instant.
At this point, the power of all living beings in the system had already exerted its full force.
The puppets screamed, their limbs stiffening as they were completely trapped in a formation. With a sharp cry, the puppets finally disappeared completely.
"Aaaaaah...!"
Xie Zhou couldn't help but cover his ears, no longer wanting to listen to these chaotic sounds.
As the afterimage disappeared, a dragon armor suddenly rose into the air.
Shining with fluorescent light, Xie Zhou went forward with a questioning look and couldn't help but reach out to touch it. As soon as she touched the dragon armor, it emitted an even more dazzling light, and then the dragon's soul suddenly condensed from the dragon armor.
The dragon's soul appeared before Xie Zhou in its original form.
Xie Zhou cautiously stepped back, then placed his weapon in front of him. The dragon simply said, "I apologize, young lady. It was my fault. I shouldn't have been controlled by that forbidden object and ended up like this. However, to atone for my sins, I'll give you this treasure, along with a map. The altar's formation has been activated, and all the monsters have fled to other places. Please, young lady, eliminate those monsters..."
After giving his instructions, the dragon armor lost its luster and fell to the ground.
Xie Zhou was entrusted with this critical mission. Looking at the treasure in his hand and the map, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.
The system then said, "Since you have accepted this task, then subdue all the monsters that are harming humanity. This can be considered part of your cultivation journey. More trials are always good!"
Xie Zhou had no choice but to open the map to see where the monsters had gone.
But she inadvertently pointed to a spot, and suddenly a spatial vortex appeared in front of her.
