Chapter 1331 Bloodstained Farm

Chapter 1331. The Crimson Farm (4)

—I knew it couldn't be that quiet.

—I'm used to it, as long as there aren't any chain reactions of problems.

—At least the clues indicate what dangers are involved, which is already quite a lot.

—The environment is a bit disgusting.

"I hate spicy food, but there are chili peppers in the warehouse..." Old Chen stroked his chin. "So, we can go to the warehouse and find chili peppers to deal with the puppets?"

“Don’t jump to conclusions,” a woman in her thirties said. “This note only says that the puppets hate spicy smells, not that chili peppers can kill them. It’s probably just meant to repel them. Besides, we don’t know where the warehouse is yet. Our priority is to search the entire building and see if there are any other clues.”

The moment the words were spoken, heavy footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. The footsteps were slow but rhythmic, each step seeming to pound on everyone's hearts, making their hearts race.

"Something's coming!" Wen Yang immediately gripped his military dagger and stared warily at the doorway.

"Everyone, stop looking and come over here!" Old Chen shouted.

Everyone immediately abandoned the search and rushed to the door. The footsteps grew closer and closer, soon reaching the foyer, and then a tall figure appeared in the doorway.

It was a "person" dressed in tattered farm work clothes, standing at least two meters tall with a burly build.

Its skin was bluish-gray, devoid of any color, and its face had no eyes, only two dark, empty holes. Its mouth was open, revealing two rows of yellowish teeth.

Its movements were stiff, and every step it took seemed mechanical; it was clearly the puppet mentioned on the note.

"Holy crap, this is a puppet? That's terrifying!" Wen Yang couldn't help but curse.

Yu Chen immediately aimed the short crossbow in his hand at the puppet's chest.

The puppet seemed to sense the presence of everyone, stiffly turned its head, and then suddenly rushed into the room.

Although it is not fast, it has a strong impact force, and the ground vibrates slightly when it runs.

"Fire!" Yu Chen said softly, pulling the trigger.

The crossbow bolt shot out with a "whoosh" and hit the puppet's chest precisely.

However, the crossbow bolt only penetrated a little bit into the puppet's body before it could go no further. The puppet was unaffected and continued to charge towards the group.

"This thing has incredibly thick skin!"

Lin Xi threw the throwing knife at the puppet's empty eyes.

The puppet covered its eyes with its hand, but continued to walk towards them.

Wen Yang's dagger also pierced the puppet's throat, but it only went in a small section and could not cause any fatal damage.

The puppet raised its thick arm and swung it towards Yu Chen, the arm whistling through the air, looking incredibly powerful.

"Watch out!" Lin Xi grabbed a chair from the side and slammed it down on the puppet's arm.

With a loud bang, the chair was smashed to pieces. The puppet's arm paused for only a moment before continuing to swing at Yu Chen.

Yu Chen quickly dodged to the side, and the puppet's arm slammed into the ground with a loud "thud," leaving a small crater.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Old Chen swung his metal baton and smashed it hard against the puppet's knee.

With a muffled thud, the metal baton slammed solidly into the puppet's knee. The puppet's movements became noticeably stiffer, and a gash appeared in the skin of its knee, revealing the bluish-gray bone underneath.

"Attack the joints, the joints are the weak points!" Old Chen shouted, swinging his baton again and smashing it towards the puppet's other knee.

Everyone threw the things in their hands toward the puppet's joints.

Xiaoyu didn't need the fruit knife and didn't want to be a burden to others, so she thought for a moment and moved behind everyone. Hearing Lao Chen's words, Wen Yang immediately adjusted his target, thrusting his military dagger towards the puppet's elbow joint.

The skin at the puppet's elbow joint is thin, and the dagger pierced through easily. The puppet's arm immediately drooped down and could no longer be raised.

Yu Chen had already reloaded the arrow and pulled the trigger again. The crossbow bolt accurately struck the puppet's other elbow joint.

This time, the crossbow bolt pierced through, and the puppet's other arm drooped down, losing its ability to attack.

The puppet lost its arm, but it still didn't stop. It lowered its head and rammed its head into Old Chen, who was closest to it.

Old Chen had no time to dodge and was slammed into the chest by the puppet's head. He was instantly knocked back several steps, and a mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Old Chen!" A man rushed to Old Chen's side and helped him up. "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just a little painful." Old Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and raised the metal baton again. "This thing is pretty tough!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wen Yang circled around to the puppet's back and stabbed it in the back of the neck with a military dagger.

The back of the neck is also a place with many joints, and the dagger pierced through smoothly and deeply.

The puppet suddenly stopped moving, then began to struggle violently, its body twisting and turning, knocking the tables and chairs in the room over and over, making a "crashing" sound.

Yu Chen fired another arrow, which struck the puppet in the back of the neck and became entangled with Wen Yang's dagger.

The puppet's struggles grew weaker and weaker until it finally collapsed to the ground with a thud. Its body twitched a few times and then remained still.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall, panting heavily. Although the battle hadn't lasted long, it had exhausted a lot of their physical strength and energy.

"This puppet is too powerful." Wen Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead. "If Old Chen hadn't discovered that the joints were a weak point, we might have been defeated here today."

Old Chen smiled, and was about to speak when he couldn't help but cough a few times. The pain in his chest made him frown.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious," he said. "The clues on this note are very useful. Knowing the puppet's weakness will make it much easier to deal with it next time we encounter it."

Lin Xi immediately took the opportunity to send a message in the group, tagging Huang Jingjing.

Huang Jingjing and Zhang Yutong appeared very quickly.

—Hey, Teacher Huang is here.

—Did 123 find this?

—It must be Teacher Huang who treated Old Chen's injuries.

— Both of Teacher Huang's skills are very useful.

—What skills?
—Is he new here?

—Healing and teleportation!
Upon seeing Huang Jingjing, Lin Xi immediately spoke.

"Teacher Huang, please treat Old Chen's injuries. He's vomiting blood, but he still says he's fine."

Huang Jingjing glanced at him and immediately spotted Old Chen, whose face looked unwell, and went to his side.

Old Chen's eyes widened as he stared at Huang Jingjing in disbelief.

"Teacher Huang is really amazing," said the man who had just helped Old Chen.
