Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 285 Coffin Doll
"Here." At this time, He Zhi's voice came. It turned out that he had found the stone gate mechanism leading to the front.

There was a loud, dull bang, and a heavy stone door opened.

What comes into view inside is a huge open space, like a courtyard.

There are some complex runes carved on the surrounding stone walls and the ground. The dense patterns look like a magic circle.

When they saw this, their expressions became more solemn. It was obvious that this place was not simple.

"Let me try it first." Song Xian took out a leopard-shaped puppet from the storage bag. With a thought, the leopard puppet whooshed into the stone gate and walked forward slowly. It walked for about fifty feet before stopping.

A distance of fifty feet is the limit of what Song Xian's spiritual sense can control. If the puppet is too far away, he will not be able to control it.

"It seems there is no problem." Song Xian controlled the puppet back to his side. During this back and forth, the engraved runes did not react at all.

Either these runes were not used to attack invaders, or too much time has passed and these engraved runes have lost their effectiveness.

"Let's go!" He Zhi said, but his body did not move.

The other three also didn't move.

He Zhi coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, clasped his hands together, and golden light burst out from his body, condensing into a golden light shield to protect himself, and walked forward.

The three of them then bumped into each other and stepped into the inner room. Everyone was very cautious, as if there was a giant beast in front of them and they were afraid of waking it up.

The four of them stared at the unknown runes engraved under their footsteps, keeping alert at all times.

There was no change until they walked through this road engraved with runes, and everyone felt relieved.

After passing through the talisman formation, the four continued to move forward. Soon, they saw a row of dilapidated and damaged stone statues standing in front of them, lined up in two rows like majestic soldiers.

Each of those stone statues had a nose and eyes, distinct facial features, and sharp corners, and looked lifelike, but many of them were damaged, and a few had been broken into a pile of stones.

After passing the stone statue areas on both sides and going a hundred feet forward, you will see a huge stone wall blocking the way.

There are three sarcophagi lined up in front of the stone wall.

The sarcophagi are all black, and each sarcophagus is about four or five feet apart, like three roadblocks.

The consciousness of several people had already spread out, and no signs of life were found.

"Fellow Daoist Song, send your puppet to explore this sarcophagus!" The four men stopped and An Daoquan spoke.

In this deserted place, there are three stone coffins lying horizontally, which looks very strange no matter how you look at it.

Song Xian said hello, took out the leopard-shaped puppet again, and controlled it to come to the sarcophagus in the middle.

Just as the puppet pushed open the coffin lid, something strange happened. With a loud bang, the leopard-shaped puppet's body was hit by a huge force and flew backwards, hitting the stone wall on the left with a bang, and half of its head was smashed.

At the same time, a figure jumped out of the sarcophagus. It was a naked man, not a single piece of clothing on his body. He had a very well-proportioned body, cold facial features, and empty eyes with a red glow inside.

Although its appearance is almost exactly the same as that of a human, it can be seen at a glance that this is not a living person, but a body similar to a doll.

Apart from the pair of empty eyes glowing red, there was no sign of life around him, not even breathing, and no fluctuations in spiritual power. Therefore, when the few people swept their spiritual sense over the sarcophagus, they did not find anything.

After it jumped up, its eyes glowing red looked at several people, as if it saw them.

The next moment, the lids of the other two sarcophagi were knocked over with a bang, and a man jumped out from each of them.

The three of them had the same figure and appearance, and their eyes were glowing red.

"Let's go." An Daoquan shouted and retreated quickly.

These three puppets that jumped out of the sarcophagus looked not to be trifled with. Although it was impossible to detect their cultivation level from the fluctuations of spiritual energy around them, judging from the strength of the leopard-shaped puppet that was destroyed with one strike just now, they were at least not weaker than a foundation-building cultivator.

Fighting with them here is obviously not a good choice. If the guards are awakened by the fight and come to help, it will be very bad.

Moreover, if we fight here and destroy the place, it may damage unknown things inside.

All four of them flew backwards, and the three puppets chased after them.

The two sides chased each other and soon left the building.

"Try to separate them and see if we can defeat them one by one." As soon as An Daoquan finished speaking, he saw a beam of blood shooting out, like a sharp blade stabbing straight at him.

Without any sound of collision, the blood-red blade hit the condensed protective light shield.

At this time, two more rays of blood came out from the other two puppets, all attacking An Daoquan.

Under the attack of the puppet, An Daoquan had to fight back. He put his hands together, and huge waves gathered in front of him and rushed forward.

Wave after wave of water hit the three rays of blood that were shooting towards them, but there was still no sound of collision. Under the impact of the vast ocean of water waves, the rays of blood remained motionless, and instead the huge waves were split apart.

Seeing the two sides fighting, the other three did not stand idly by. They all used their magic powers to attack the three puppets.

Song Xian put his hands together and condensed a flaming spear, which was the second-grade low-level magic Fire Cloud Spear, and shot it towards the puppet on the left.

Han Yuan condensed a huge golden fist and struck towards the puppet on the right.

He Zhi also condensed a huge golden sword and slashed at the puppet in the middle.

The three puppets seemed unaware, and when the three people's magic attacked, they did not dodge or evade, and remained motionless.

The Fire Cloud Spear directly hit the chest of the left puppet. There was a bang of metal clashing, and the puppet was knocked back a few steps by the force, but it was only a few steps back. There was no damage to its body. Looking closely, there was only a tiny dent on the chest.

The Fire Cloud Gun hit the opponent and immediately ignited a raging flame.

After being hit, the puppet turned its head and looked at Song Xian, as if it had only just discovered his existence.

The same situation happened to the other two puppets. The puppet on the right was hit on the head by Han Yuan's huge golden fist. There was a loud bang, and the whole person staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground.

The next moment, it jumped up, looked in the direction of Han Yuan and punched out, colliding with the huge golden fist that attacked again.

Compared with the huge golden fist, the puppet's fist seemed so small, but after one blow, it was the huge golden fist that shook violently. After only three punches, the golden fist was shattered.

The puppet in the middle also endured the attack of the golden giant sword and was knocked back a few steps. Then he turned to look at He Zhi, and then swung his fist to smash the golden giant sword.

It is obvious from the performance of the three puppets that they are not secretly controlled by anyone and have no intelligence. They just act on instinct and attack whoever they lock onto.

They had just locked onto An Daoquan, so they all chased him out.

Now they had locked onto Song Xian, Han Yuan, and He Zhi, so they abandoned their attack on An Daoquan. The puppet on the left was engulfed in flames, yet it strode forward unscathed. The flames swirled around it like hair, then flashed blood all over its body, and the flames instantly extinguished.

The puppet flashed and flew into the air, heading straight towards where Song Xian was. The blood light around it became more and more intense, turning into a blood-red ball.

Seeing it approaching, Song Xian hurriedly retreated. The puppet's body was as strong as that of the foundation-building fire mercury worm. Fighting him in close combat would undoubtedly be courting death.

He put his hands together and unleashed Yang Explosion, causing a giant red sphere to form above his head and smash towards the puppet.

The puppet did not dodge or evade, and collided with the red sphere like the sun.

The red ball exploded immediately, and raging flames burst out from it, turning into a sea of ​​fire. Countless fireballs hit the puppet, but were blocked by the blood-colored ball, and the two sides merged with each other.

The blood-colored sphere was like a ball of sulfuric acid solution. The fireball smashed into the inside and melted visibly with the naked eye. Even the flames close to it were extinguished one by one.

As the split fireballs continued to smash down the blood-colored sphere, the blood energy became weaker and weaker as the fireballs melted.

After a while, the blood-colored ball around the puppet finally shattered under the continuous attack of fireballs, and fireballs of all sizes hit it.

The puppet just responded numbly with his fists, and the fireballs dissipated under his fists.

The raging flames enveloped the puppet, but could not cause any substantial damage to it.

The puppet approached the exploding fireball step by step.

Song Xian kept retreating, and the Yang Explosion technique had not yet disappeared, so he once again cast the Flame Siege technique. Five palm-sized fireballs appeared around the pursuing puppet. In an instant, the flames grew to several feet in size, connected end to end, forming a huge circle of flames that enveloped it.

The puppet was in a sea of ​​fire, and a ball of blood light gathered around it again. Its hands punched the wall formed by the flames again and again. Although the blazing flames were constantly devouring the blood light around it, they could not hurt it at all.

After a while, the puppet broke the circle of fire.

Song Xian frowned. There was no spiritual energy around the puppet, and even he couldn't see its bottom line.

Under his true observation, there was only a series of???
There was no data, so he had no idea of ​​the puppet's strength and could only judge its performance in battle.

When the puppet broke through the siege of flames and attacked him again, he flipped his hand and the Thunder Yuan Pearl shot out.

This puppet doesn't seem to be afraid of fire attacks, and even if other fire-attribute spells are used, it is difficult to cause damage to it.

Fortunately, he still has a thunder bead on him, so he can try out its effect. Maybe the thunder-attribute magic can have a miraculous effect on it.

The puppet still did not dodge or evade, and blood light escaped from its body and rushed towards Lei Yuanzhu.

The two intertwined, and the Thunder Yuan Pearl burst out with dazzling silver light. Bolts of lightning shot out from it, and the blood-red shield shattered under the attack of lightning in a short while.

Lightning struck the doll, and bursts of white smoke came out of it, just like fireworks when lightning struck a stone.

The puppet stood motionless, enduring the lightning attack from the Thunder Yuan Pearl until the lightning disappeared. Several wounds were revealed on its body. The surface skin on its chest, face, lower abdomen, and thighs was scratched, revealing its torso as hard as gold and stone inside.

The puppet was naturally unaware of the pain. The moment the lightning attack ended, he continued to move towards Song Xian.

Faced with such a thing, Song Xian felt very difficult. Although the Thunder Yuan Pearl could cause some damage to it, it could not completely destroy its mobility, and he did not have any other Thunder Yuan Pearls on him.

If he had known this, he should not have used so many Thunder Yuan Pearls when dealing with the Fire Mercury Bugs. It is useless to regret it now.

Song Xian looked at the other three people and saw that Han Yuan was transforming into a golden giant ape and fighting with a puppet. Although An Daoquan and He Zhi were two against one, they did not have any advantage. On the contrary, the puppet seemed to be in a panic.

It seemed that the others could not be relied upon, so they fled to the rear.

The puppet seemed to have locked onto him and was following him closely, the distance between them getting closer and closer.

Although the puppet had no senses or thinking, its speed was not slow, obviously faster than his flying speed. Soon, it had completely caught up with him.

There was a loud bang, and the puppet punched him in the back, colliding with the fire shield he condensed.

With just one punch, the circle of fire spinning around Song Xian began to tremble violently, visibly to the naked eye.

The puppet's fists smashed towards the fire shield like a violent storm, and the fire shield was about to shatter under the attack of its fists.

Song Xian's mind moved, and the Netherworld Cold Flame broke out of his body, igniting a dark green flame around him.

As he put his palms together, a ball of dark green fire appeared between his palms. A bone-chilling cold air immediately spread, and the surrounding sky and earth formed a layer of ice.

At the moment the fire shield shattered, a ball of dark green fire flew out of his hand and headed towards the doll.

The puppet didn't dodge and punched out, the fist surrounded by blood hitting the dark green fireball.

Before it touched the Netherworld Cold Flame, the puppet was covered with a layer of ice. However, under the cover of its blood light, the ice melted before it even covered it.

When the puppet's fist hit the Netherworld Cold Flame.

In an instant, the dark green flame wrapped around his fist, and then the flame spread like a fuse, wrapping his entire arm and torso.

The puppet didn't move, and blood light burst out from its body, as if it was about to melt the cold flame of the underworld.

The blood light and the dark green flame intertwined, and at the beginning they were evenly matched, but soon, the blood light was completely suppressed by the dark cold flame. As time went on, the blood light surrounding it was completely swallowed up.

Then, the doll's skin began to melt gradually, like a candle, being dissolved bit by bit by the flame.

The puppet just stood there stupidly, neither struggling nor moving.

After a long time, the puppet's body melted into a ball wrapped in the dark green flames, and it was almost no longer in human form. Only then did Song Xian retract the dark cold flame.

Fortunately, he absorbed this strange fire, otherwise he would not be able to deal with this puppet with his strength.

Even without anyone controlling it, based on its indestructible body alone, one can tell that this puppet is at least as powerful as a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

Song Xian flashed and came to the front of the puppet. He looked at the broken body, bent down and touched it. The torso was very smooth, neither gold nor stone, and it was unknown what material it was made of.

This doll is somewhat similar to a puppet. Taking it back for research may help in refining a second-level puppet.

Apart from anything else, the material used to refine the body of this puppet is extraordinary. For such a hard body, the material must be extremely precious.

　Thank you for your continued support.

　　On New Year’s Eve, I wish you all a happy new year and all the best in the coming year.
