Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 122 Puppet Master
Sun Hang took two steps back, and the mycelium slowly crept along the ground towards the strange skeleton.

He had no idea about the combat effectiveness of the Ghost Skeleton. If a fight broke out at this time and could not be resolved quickly, it would easily attract those guys who served as trial NPCs. Without being able to kill anyone, Sun Hang could not guarantee that he could escape unscathed from the siege of a group of hunters.

The skeleton stumbled forward another step, its movements giving people the appearance of a candle in the wind, as if if you didn't touch it and let it take two more steps it would fall apart... But in the next second, this candle in the wind suddenly burst into a fierce flame!

The speed of the ghost suddenly increased, and his body stopped shaking. In the blink of an eye, he had approached, and his five fingers with sharp nails grabbed Sun Hang's face at a tricky angle!

At the same time, the aura of this strange skeleton suddenly became stronger, completely different from the vague aura just now.

"Fuck, even Gui Hai can pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger?"

Sun Hang retreated quickly, and at the same time, more than a dozen hyphae came from both sides and stabbed at the body of the strange skeleton!
Judging from the strength of the aura released by the strange skeleton, this guy is a complete tonic for Sun Hang. If he can swallow it, Sun Hang's blue bar will probably increase a little bit.

The trial only stipulates that NPCs cannot be killed, but it does not prohibit hunting wild monsters wandering in the city.

However, the scene of the mycelium piercing the body of the skeleton did not appear - the flesh of this skeleton was much stronger than steel. The mycelium that could penetrate even a ten-centimeter-thick concrete wall only left a few pale scratches on its body surface before sliding aside.

The strange corpse let out a hoarse roar and opened its mouth to bite Sun Hang.

The corners of its mouth extended all the way to its ears, just like the "slit-mouthed woman" in classic horror works. Its bloody mouth emitting a fishy smell was covered with dense sharp teeth - this was no longer a human mouth, but more like the mouthparts of some giant worm.

"If you have bad breath - just don't point your fucking mouth at other people!" Sun Hang wrapped the mycelium around his fist, forming a huge boxing glove, and then swung it with force. There was a loud "bang" and the strange skeleton flew out horizontally, knocking over the trash can beside the wall.

Perhaps because of the large loss of water, the weight of the skeleton itself is not heavy. According to Sun Hang's estimation, this 1.7-meter-tall, skinny skeleton weighs only more than 20 kilograms. Although its physical defense ability is very strong, its light weight and human-like body structure have become its fatal weaknesses.

The mycelium swarmed up, tightly entangled the skeleton's limbs, dragged it out from a pile of garbage, first threw it high into the air, and then swung it in a circle and smashed it hard onto the ground!

"Bang!!!"

An irregular shallow pit appeared on the asphalt road surface. The loud noise startled the customers in the mall. Many people ran over and looked at the fight in the alley through the glass in horror.

No, it shouldn't be called a fight, it should be called a one-sided beating.

Sun Hang no longer had time to hide his tracks. He decided to quickly get rid of the strange corpse and then escape from the scene with his own high mobility - as for his appearance and body shape, he could just create a new one.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The hole on the ground became deeper and deeper, and the breath of the evil corpse became much weaker than before, but the shrill sound of sirens also appeared outside the street.

More than one onlooker in the mall pulled out their cell phones and called the police - although the skeleton looked like a zombie, Sun Hang, with thousands of hyphae extending from his body, looked more like an evil BOSS. In the eyes of these citizens, this did not look like a monster hunter eliminating hidden dangers for the safety of the city, but rather like two monsters fighting for territory.

The security guards of the mall brought stun guns and tear gas sprays, but they did not dare to push the door open. They could only stand behind the glass and watch from a distance. On the contrary, some young people in fashionable clothes were bolder. They came closer with their mobile phones, pointing the cameras at Sun Hang and Gui Hai, and said something excitedly.

"Damn... these guys, are they fighting so hard for popularity?" Sun Hang glanced at these people out of the corner of his eye. He didn't need to think about it, because his fight with the strange skeleton would soon appear on major short video platforms. What made Sun Hang even more annoyed was that the strange skeleton's defense was really high. Although Sun Hang beat it so hard that it couldn't fight back, he couldn't break its defense at all - the pit on the ground was almost half a meter deep, and there was no obvious damage on the strange skeleton.

Sun Hang also tried to devour it directly through the mycelium, but the skin on the surface of the corpse seemed to have a strong barrier ability, just like a hard coconut shell. Without smashing it open, it was impossible to enjoy the sweet coconut milk inside.

"This is too hard..."

Just when Sun Hang was considering whether to give up, two guys in orange cleaning uniforms in the mall walked towards the glass wall, and the crowd watching began to make shrill screams.

Sun Hang took a quick glance and suddenly realized that the two cleaning staff were not human beings at all, but two strange skeletons!

The two ghosts punched a glass wall and walked out of the mall.

Sun Hang suddenly realized a problem. These guys didn't seem to be wild monsters...

He remembered that when Ye Jiu was introducing the strange equipment and qualified persons to him, he mentioned that there was a qualified person code-named "Puppet Master" in Chunming City, and her strange equipment was a dozen strange skeletons without self-awareness.

From this perspective, the opponent he met was probably this "puppet master".

This means that the enemies he has to deal with are not just these three skeletons... there are more skeletons, and they are probably lurking around, waiting for the right moment to jump out and give him a fatal blow.

The fastest way to defeat such an enemy is to find the "puppet master" who controls these skeletons... But the problem is that the "puppet master" will never show up directly. She only needs to hide in the dark and constantly control these skeletons to attack Sun Hang.

The thought of running away popped up in Sun Hang's mind, but he rejected it the next second.

There are only three ghost skeletons appearing, so where are the rest?
The other party should have known that he would choose to escape if he could not win the battle quickly, so the remaining corpses should be ambushing on the escape route he could choose...

Maybe the puppeteer is currently in a state of defenselessness...

Go straight to Huanglong, capture the thief and the leader - Sun Hang immediately set a new goal for himself.

So, where is this "puppet master" hiding?
It shouldn't be far away. If she can control these ghosts from a few kilometers away, then this ability is too amazing. In addition, since she has to control the ghosts to fight with her, she should always pay attention to her battle scene - the surveillance cameras in the alley and the mall that can capture this place have been hacked by Sun Hang, and these ghosts have their eyes closed, and they don't look like they have eyesight, so this "puppet master" should only be able to observe with his own eyes...

"Put yourself in their shoes. If I were the puppeteer, where would I hide?"

Sun Hang swung his mycelium and threw the first skeleton towards the other two that were rushing towards him. At this moment, his eyes swept over the onlookers in the mall...

"If it were me, I would choose to disguise myself as an ordinary citizen and hide among these onlookers!" Sun Hang had an idea in his mind, "According to the trial rules, hunters participating in the trial are strictly prohibited from harming ordinary citizens, so the crowd is the safest place!"
