The Emperor is Above

Chapter 357 Giant Beast Puppet Department
"This is a giant beast puppet made by the Puppet Beast Tribe, a vassal settlement of the Ghost Witch Tribe!"

Fu Shou, as the chief of the Fuhu tribe, has a blood feud with the Guiwu tribe. He has experienced dozens of battles of varying sizes and is very familiar with the strength of the Guiwu tribe.

He gnashed his teeth, eyes filled with hatred as he said, "Years ago, the Ghost Witch Tribe swept through the various tribes in the Northern Wilderness. Many settlements tried to hold on by relying on their own natural defenses, but were broken through in one fell swoop by these giant beast puppets.

In a few months, countless settlements with hundreds of years of heritage were destroyed. I didn’t expect them to bring giant beast puppets to the salt marsh to fight.”

Liu Yi also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The army led by the Beast King Warriors could not do anything to our tribe. The two sides confronted each other for a long time. I guess this giant beast puppet was originally a weapon used to deal with our tribe."

"Whether these sixteen giant beast puppets are used to deal with the Jiliu tribe or to attack us now, someone will need to face them in the end!"

Qing Yi smiled gently at Fu Shou and Liu Yi. He was not particularly worried about the threat of the giant beast puppet. Instead, he said with emotion,

"I thought the Ghost Witch Tribe was a group of people from the wilderness, relying only on the ghost totems of the Ghost Witch King. I didn't expect that they had such incredible abilities that a mere vassal tribe could create a giant beast puppet."

Nan Guoshi's eyes were filled with thought: "It is said that the Ghost Witch Tribe originally had only eight vassal settlements, such as the Green Ghost Tribe and the Red Ghost Tribe, which have been passed down for hundreds of years.

Ten years ago, when I was traveling in the northern border with a caravan, I heard people say that the Ghost Witch Tribe had a vassal tribe called the Puppet Beast Tribe a few years ago. I thought it was very strange at the time.

Now it seems that this puppet beast tribe has only been around for less than 20 years, yet it has already created such an amazing giant beast puppet. I'm afraid the secret behind it is not that simple."

"Hey, Mr. Nan Guo's words reminded me!"

Fu Shou pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Twenty years ago, a group of down-and-out scholars passed through our territory, and the old clan leader specially received them.

Afterwards, a third-grade ferocious bird attacked our territory. Our original tiger totem was injured in that defeat. If Lord Mountain King had not unexpectedly been promoted to a second-grade exotic beast, my clan would have been in danger at that time.

Although Lord Shanjun killed the ferocious bird, it was unknown what the group of down-and-out scholars talked about with the old patriarch. They did not stay and were instead escorted out of the territory by the patriarch with courtesy.

Later, the tribesmen who sent that group of down-and-out scholars away said that this group of people went towards the Lishui Lake again. After a few years, the Ghost Witch Tribe had a new Puppet Beast Tribe.

When the Puppet Beast Tribe was newly formed, there were only a hundred or so people, and it was all due to the efforts of the old witch. Even the Green Ghost Tribe, the Red Ghost Tribe and other vassals of the Ghost Witch Tribe looked down on them.

However, it took only five or six years for the giant beast puppet to be produced by the Puppet Beast Division, and it was only used in actual combat last year."

"Twenty years ago - a down-and-out scholar - the Puppet Beast Tribe!"

Qing Yi extracted these elements bit by bit, and thought slowly, “Nothing can come out of nothing, especially practice and technology, which require gradual accumulation.

Even in Zhongzhou, a place generally recognized as the most prosperous place for spiritual practice, where there are a large number of talisman masters, formation masters, and weapon refiners, decades of research on war puppets have all failed completely.

It is too abnormal that the Puppet Beast Division of the Ghost Witch Department, which was established only a dozen years ago, can create terrifying giant beast puppets in just a few years. "

"My lord, what do you mean?" Nan Guoshi, Beigong Yu, San Yisheng, Gongsun Wu and other retainers all had surprised looks in their eyes, and somewhat understood Qing Yi's guess.

Yang Hu glanced at his stunned classmates and finally couldn't help asking, "Shang Dafu, could it be that you are guessing that group of down-and-out scholars are the ones who failed utterly in Zhongzhou's research on war puppets?"

"This is not just my guess! Judging by reasoning, there must be a group of people with strong strength and research foundation who can produce such results in such a short time." Qing Yi looked around at everyone with a serious expression, and then bowed to Fu Shou and asked, "Clan leader Fu Shou, do you still remember the appearance and accent of that group of people?"

"Well, after all, how can I remember what happened in the past 20 years!" Fu Shou's expression was also full of distress, but after thinking hard, he finally remembered the only remaining remnant of memory.
"Yes, yes, this group of down-and-out scholars said they came from a country in Zhongzhou. We couldn't remember the name at the time, so they said it was a big country south of Xing State.

Unfortunately, the king suddenly fell ill and died. His sons fought for the throne, and they offended them, so they had to flee here."

"It seems that these people are from Wei State, but what they said must be false!" Qing Yi smiled at Gongsun Wu, because Gongsun Wu was the grandson of Duke Wei.

Gongsun Wu also laughed and said, "Of course what these people said is a lie. My uncles have been fighting for the throne for years and have been beating their brains out.

If these people offended any of them, they would definitely not survive the next day, so how could they have a chance to escape?

In addition, if they really have the strength to escape from Weiguo, my uncles will definitely not send any third-grade vicious birds to hunt them down, but will shamelessly try to win them over. "

"Combining all the information and making inferences, the people who made the giant beast puppet must be that group of down-and-out scholars, who were also the group of people in Zhongzhou who researched war puppets."

Qing Yi gazed at the sixteen giant beast puppets in the distance with great emotion, and said with great regret, "He is obviously a scholar of the Great Shen Dynasty, but he joined the Ghost Witch Department for his ideals.

I wonder if Zhongzhou will regret giving up the power of these people when seeing this scene now. It's a pity that they failed at the last moment after building a mountain with great efforts. "

"Who cares if they failed at the last moment? Since they dared to join the Ghost Witch Tribe and become the enemy of our master, we'll just smash them to pieces!" Da Niu shouted in a muffled voice.

This made Qing Yi smile, but then his expression gradually became stern: "Danniu is right, although the experience and talent of this group of people make people feel sorry.

But as princes of the Great Shen, and perhaps even vassals, they actually went to the Ghost Witch Tribe for their so-called ideals, so don’t blame me for killing them tonight.”

At this point, Qing Yi said to Yang Hu, Zhu Zhiwu and other students of the Imperial Academy: "I will try my best to capture these people during the battle later, and strive to make our own war puppets as soon as possible."

Yang Hu looked a little regretful, but Zhu Zhiwu said carelessly: "Grandfather once said that swords and spears have no eyes on the battlefield. If they die or become disabled, it is not our fault. I think if we can capture a giant beast puppet, we can learn a lot from it. We don't necessarily have to bring back a few alive."

"Understood!"

Qing Yi smiled and patted Zhu Zhiwu's shoulder. This honest-looking young man actually had his own opinions just like his left master Zhu Long.

After taking a deep look at the group of giant beast puppets in the west, Qing Yi looked at everyone and said, "The ghost witch army in the south is led by the beast king warriors, and the ghost witch army in the west is mainly composed of giant beast puppets.

There are no other banners in these two directions. It seems that the cunning old witch of the Ghost Witch Department must be in the north. Let's go and take a look!"

Qing Yi's guess turned out to be correct. Just as he reached the northernmost part of the chariot camp, he saw a large banner with a huge and extremely ferocious ghost face totem painted on it standing among the endless army of wild people.

Under the banner, hundreds of wizards dressed in strange costumes surrounded two figures. It was obvious that the old figure sitting on the bone throne must be the old wizard of the Ghost Wizard Tribe.
