Chapter 120
The moment Yu Tu violently destroyed the formation, the poison puppet master who controlled the formation responded. After a moment of surprise, he was filled with endless anger.
What kind of desperate creature dared to destroy the sacrificial formation? Was it those little birds from the special group that he failed to catch?
A strange black mist rolled around the poison puppet master, and within a few breaths, he flashed back to the center of the formation from the dark room beside the corridor.
The center of the sacrificial array is circular, surrounded by nine "petals", each of which supports a stone platform.
Now the monsters on the stone platform were lying at the base of the petals. The needles that fixed them had disappeared. Or maybe it wasn't that they disappeared, but that they had turned into emerald powder in the scarlet stripes on the ground.
The sacrifice has reached the ninth level, except for the final core. Now it has been destroyed, and we will have to wait until nine days to continue!
How much more material will I need to fill in nine days to make up for this loss? !
The Poison Puppet Master was almost dizzy with rage. The last time his precious works were destroyed in the ruins, he was not as angry as he is now!
“You don’t know how to live or die…” The black mist rolled up, like a bunch of misty insects, or a bunch of ghost faces. The poison puppet master’s resentful eyes were hidden behind the mist, and he wished he could cut this person who suddenly appeared into pieces. “I will train you into the lowest puppet!!!”
His voice was eerie, and seemed to carry some special rhythm, making the listeners feel as if needles were pricking their brains. The black cat on Yu Tu's shoulder took off the "glass jar" because it was not breathable enough, and now put it back on silently with its paws.
Cats' hearing is more sensitive than humans'. What did the cat do wrong?
Yu Tu was not affected by his voice. As early as in the open space at the end of the first corridor, when he stood up after examining the corpse and felt a little dizzy for unknown reason, he carefully checked his whole body. The mud on the pads of the black cat's paws and the soles of his shoes had already been cleaned up by him.
He knew little about underground caves, and had no idea whether the soil had any effect on him, but that did not prevent him from being careful.
The unknown is always dangerous.
The moment the Poison Puppet Master appeared, Yu Tu had already generously used his energy to create an extra-thick "eggshell" for himself - he had to save his life first before he would be qualified to do anything else.
So when the Poison Puppet Master launched a "mental attack", Yu Tu did not react at all. But the black cat was clearly put in the "eggshell" as well, so why did he still feel a little uncomfortable?
Yu Tu couldn't figure out the reason, but that didn't stop him from worrying about other monsters. The "glass jar" covered the nine small animals at the base of the petals, and then the two in the corner whose lives or deaths were unknown were also covered in the same way.
The poison puppet master was making harsh remarks here, but the person on the other side was so arrogant that it seemed as if his threat was not worth mentioning.
The black mist rolled into a strange long snake and shot towards Yu Tu's face like an arrow. In the simulated, open mouth, the fangs glowed with a strange green light.
Yu Tu stood there without moving, but the stone platform with scarlet patterns was shaking, as if something was about to break out from the ground.
When the fangs were almost about to hit Yu Tu's face and the black cat on his shoulder could smell the stench through the glass cover, a green vine suddenly emerged from the ground. The vine looked soft and fragile, as if it would break if pulled casually, but the vine whipped the snake's head and twisted it. Then it attacked like a storm, and the green vine seemed to have created the posture of an army of thousands.
In less than five seconds, the long snake fell apart, and black particles the size of sesame seeds covered the ground - the long snake made of small insects was strangled to death.
This weak green vine seemed to be not satisfied yet. It flexibly stretched out and hit the poison puppet master who was standing there without any reaction. With a crisp "pop" sound, the black hood that the poison puppet master wore on his face all year round fell off. His face was like his hands, as if a skeleton covered with a layer of skin, but now the left side of his face was swollen and torn, and it looked like a huge apple muscle filled with hyaluronic acid.
The green vine flexibly circled once, seemed a little dissatisfied, and then swung another vine over - the two sides were symmetrical.
Then it rolled up the poison puppet master who was completely unable to resist and threw him several times like a ball. The poison puppet master made contact with the ground, making a loud "dong dong dong" sound like hitting a drum.
The scene was very much like a domination scene.
Lan Huiyu woke up to such a regular rhythm.
Her consciousness had been in a state of semi-comatoseness before, but after the needles were removed, spiritual energy flowed through her body. Even though she was seriously injured, her consciousness gradually became clear. She had once fallen into the hands of a poison puppet master and became his experimental subject, so her willpower was much stronger than that of ordinary monsters.
Lan Huiyu opened his eyes, but almost suspected that he had been poisoned by a hallucinogenic toxin.
Otherwise, why would she see the vicious poison puppet master being hit with a basketball by a weak green vine?
The green vine seemed to get a little impatient after patting it, and it rolled the poison puppet master to the ground. After a loud bang, faint cracks appeared on the white and hard altar, and the poison puppet master fainted on the spot.
Lan Huiyu: “???”
The enemy who had once saved her from death was now so vulnerable. This absurd reality was before her... Lan Huiyu thought she might be hallucinating due to excessive blood loss.
Until she turned her gaze to the person at the center of the altar.
The zombie that attacked the residential building that day and the thrilling meeting left a deep impression on her.
The person standing here is the Marquis of Never-Sleeping Night.
Although he showed no expression, Lan Huiyu felt inexplicably at ease. It might be because the senior, Marquis Buye, looked particularly reliable with his light-hearted demeanor.
Turning his gaze to the black phoenix trapped in the "glass tank", Lan Huiyu sighed softly.
———Unlike coming to rescue them only to be knocked down directly, becoming the leader of a part of the sacrificial formation.
The loud noise when the Poison Puppet Master fainted finally woke Tu Jiaojiao up. He saw double images in front of his eyes and the world seemed to be spinning erratically.
He remembered that he and Lu Chizhou found the center of the formation, and then... and then...
Everything that happened afterwards seemed to be shrouded in fog in his memory. Tu Jiaojiao realized belatedly that the dark red soil, which seemed to be stained with ordinary blood, was also problematic!
Otherwise, the Poison Puppet Master wouldn't have been able to knock them down so easily!
The boat capsized in the ditch!
Tu Jiaojiao subconsciously pushed his head upwards, but it hit something transparent and cold hard, causing him to grimace in pain.
What?
His senses and consciousness slowly returned at this moment, and severe pain spread from the top of his head to his wings. Tu Jiaojiao raised his wings and found that there were two symmetrical holes on the left and right sides of his wings, which were slowly oozing blood.
Tu Jiaojiao: “…”
The poison puppet master lacks virtue!
Fortunately, due to the severe pain, Tu Jiaojiao was completely sober at this time. Then he saw a terribly skinny person lying on the ground of the altar. He looked like a skeleton wrapped in skin.
Tu Jiaojiao muttered to himself: "Poison puppet master?"
Last time, they caught the Poison Master in an underground gang and sent him to the prison of the Extraordinary Bureau. However, it turned out that there was a traitor in the Extraordinary Bureau. While they used the same trick to get rid of the traitor and clean up the inside, the Poison Master also escaped by mistake.
After he escaped, the task of capturing him was assigned to their group nine - but no one expected that catching a half-dead fugitive would lead to such a big twist.
Not only did his accomplices help him after he escaped from prison, allowing him to recover to his prime in a short period of time, but there was even such a weird sacrificial formation waiting for them!
After recovering, the Poison Puppet Master abducted two members of Group Nine by stealth, and then hid in a concealed barrier. They couldn't find a way to get in, and other groups that could capture the Poison Puppet Master were unable to do so, so it was not until today that they were able to get in by taking advantage of the delay left by others after they entered the barrier.
Turning his eyes away from the poison puppet master, Tu Jiaojiao saw the other team members dying not far away, and then he saw the green vine being removed from the poison puppet master.
…looks familiar.
Following the direction where the green vine disappeared, he saw Marquis Buye.
Tu Jiaojiao suddenly realized!
The mysterious person who came in just now must be Mr. Buyehou!
It feels so reassuring to have the boss around!
Tu Jiaojiao flapped his wings. Thanks to the fact that Xuanfeng could speak, even if he was forced to change back to his original form, it did not affect his speech.
Tu Jiaojiao wailed in the "glass jar" with a voice full of complicated emotions: "Senior, help me!!!"
There is no shame in asking for help from the big guys, your life is at stake!
The Marquis of Buye, who was asked for help, glanced at him.
The next second, the "glass jar" on his body disappeared, the bleeding wound stopped bleeding, and there was even a hint of a scab forming.
Tu Jiaojiao turned his head and looked around, and found that all the monsters were the same. The weak healing effect of the wood-attributed spiritual power was used to the extreme by his predecessor - it was simply refreshing his understanding of the strength of the Buyehou.
"Can you handle it?"
Tu Jiaojiao suddenly heard the voice of Buyehou. He looked over and saw the poison puppet master who had fainted on the ground and would not wake up for a long time.
Tu Jiaojiao flapped his wings and stood up shakily: "Yes."
Although he was also pierced by sacrificial needles to drain his blood, he was rescued not long after. His overall strength was not seriously damaged. He just recovered for a while and will be able to return to human form soon.
After seeing Tu Jiaojiao transform from a black phoenix back into a human, Yu Tu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now he just wanted to leave this sad place as soon as possible.
Next to the vortex in the body, which has become much smaller but still exists, there is now a new one, competing with the old one for energy.
Although he thought that at worst he could just pay in installments again, when it came time to pay in installments, Yu Tu couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
I hope it doesn’t happen a third time, he’ll go crazy on the spot!
After confirming that Tu Jiaojiao could handle the rest, Yu Tu walked out holding the black cat's life-saving object, when he suddenly heard some unusual movement behind him—
The poison puppet master stood up.
He opened his closed eyes, but there was no resentment in his eyes like a poison puppet master: "Sir."
Yu Tu heard him speak, still with the unique strange voice of the poison puppet master, but there was a sense of confusion and peace.
"Are you here to stop me?" he asked.
Yu Tu turned around. The person who asked the question did not seem to be obsessed with getting an answer. After asking the question, the Poison Puppet Master closed his eyes and fell directly to the ground.
No one noticed this scene, and Tu Jiaojiao didn't even realize that the poison puppet master had "stole corpses".
It looked a lot like a hallucination.
But Yu Tu knew it was not the case.
