Chapter 3871: Four puppets

In the empty stone hall, the sound of footsteps was amplified, so clear at this moment.
In a stone temple for so many years, there were obviously no signs of movement. At this time, there was footsteps. What was going on.
Xiao Yi squeezed his fists, his nerves were tense at the moment, Xue Yaoyue held his breath, and the sound of footsteps was getting closer and he was about to appear in front of him.
"Xiao Yi..."
"Don't be afraid, let's see what it is."
The thickness of the ice at the entrance of the cave is more than ten meters, which proves that no one has come to such a place in recent years.
It can be ruled out that this is not a living person, so what else is besides the living person?
The sound of footsteps became rapid, and four figures slowly appeared in front of Xiao Yi on several supporting pillars in the stone temple. Four people wearing armor and holding long knives sandwiched Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue from left to right. intermediate.
The strange dress is like a war scene in a costume drama, and the armor is covered with dust. It can be seen that the appearance of the dress was very mighty, but now it looks a bit dilapidated, like a terracotta warrior dug out from the ground.
"dead!"
Xiao Yi didn't feel the breath of living people from the four people who appeared in front of him. These four people had been dead for many years.
Or there might be secrets he didn't know. When he was thinking, four people were holding long knives, and they slashed at Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue in a flash. Xiao Yi took Xue Yaoyue's arm and dodged hurriedly.
However, the speed of these four people was not weak at all. Xiao Yi did not wait for Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue to gain a foothold, the four long knives were already oncoming, Xiao Yi hurriedly ran Dao Qi, something that surprised him happened. .
"what happened?"
Xiao Yi noticed that his dantian seemed to be blocked, no matter what he did, he could not mobilize Dao Qi.
Faced with such a situation, the original cultivation technique was their strongest method, but now they can't use Dao Qi, which is equivalent to no difference from ordinary people, Xiao Yi exclaimed.
"Get out of the way!"
Xiao Yi pushed Xue Yaoyue's body away, and Xue Yaoyue also realized that something was wrong, unable to run Dao Qi, and the cultivation technique could not be used at all.
"What's the matter with Xiao Yi? Why is Dantian being sealed, not even a trace of Dao Qi can be condensed."
At this moment, only relying on the power of the body, Xiao Yi knocked a person into the air with a fist. Fortunately, under the tempering of the milk of the earth's center, the power of the body was improved several times, and it played a role at this time.
Of the four people who appeared with a punch, one of them got up from the ground without hesitation after being knocked into the air by Xiao Yi, making a crunching noise, as if the joints were rusted.
"The four apprentices are not living people, or they are not people."
Zi Xu noticed the anomaly, and when Xiao Yi hit these things with his fist, there was obviously a difference.
"Not a human? What is that?"
"Puppets, they are not made by people, but wood."
Xiao Yi remembered that Master said before that there is an advanced technique that uses materials such as metal, wood, and leather to make some puppets that can be manipulated. The simplest way to derive these puppets is the shadow puppet show that modern people see.
Shadow puppets are generally operated by people behind the scenes, with a stick. Puppetry is not known how many grades higher than shadow puppets. The use of Dao Qi manipulation allows the puppets to act. The skilled person manipulates the puppets, which is no different from living things. .
The strongest puppet technique can use the puppet to manipulate weapons to kill the enemy. Because the puppet doesn't know fatigue, let alone pain, it only needs the master's operation to move endlessly.
People cannot be resurrected from death, but it is different for puppets. Puppets have suffered a fatal blow and can be discarded directly. Normally, the puppet master only needs to repair it again to restore its previous functions.
Therefore, in the world where Zixu is located, the skills of the puppet master are very strong, but not many people really learn to manipulate the puppets. This requires extremely high talents, coupled with constant tempering, especially the manipulation of spiritual power, which can be described as meticulous. To the extreme.
But there is one more thing, even if your puppetry practice is to its extreme, because of this perverted killing technique and shameless behavior, it is usually a sign of a puppet master's action in a battle.
Then this puppet master will soon be on the list of kills. The so-called battle can be defeated and the puppet master must die. A good job has become a target for everyone. The survival of the puppet master is very difficult.
"These four are all made of wood, and the parts connected to the body are mechanical mechanisms, and the body is covered with armor for defense. It seems that the owner of this stone temple does not want others to break in here."
Zixu floated around Xiao Yi's body, and carefully studied this stone palace. The stone palace should be a place for a strong person to practice. The formations and mechanisms are all to prevent others from entering.
"But Master, you said that if you want to use this puppet technique, you need the operation of the puppet master, but I am not here, and I feel the breath of a living person."
Xiao Yi jumped and kicked a puppet into the air. Although the puppet was mainly made of wood, its movements were very fast, not at all blunt.
The moment he fell to the ground with a long knife as support, he immediately stood up, moved his arm to make a crunching sound, and continued to rush towards Xiao Yi.
"Damn it! You can't use Dao Qi, otherwise these puppets would have demolished them long ago!"
"You kid has got the point. The activities of these puppets are not man-made. There is a large formation in the stone hall. The master here has already arranged the means. Once an outsider breaks in, the formation opens the puppets to appear. , Manipulate puppets to kill the invaders."
At the same time, Zixu told Xiao Yi a very important point, that is, this stone hall was restricted, except for the owner of the stone hall, anyone who broke into it would be blocked by Dao Qi, and there was no cultivation base here.
Unless your realm of strength exceeds the master here, you can be free from this restriction. Otherwise, just be honest and be an ordinary person here. It can be seen that the master of the stone palace is definitely not a good kind.
"No wonder Dao Qi can't run. This is because people who intend to break into this place will all be trapped here."
Xiao Yi now believed the sentence that appeared before, arbitrarily intruders, there is no life, this place is very dangerous, but often people will ignore the warning of this sentence and treat it as deaf ears.
I always thought that my own powerhouse would care about such a threat, and this stone palace was full of temptations, and everyone wanted to enter it to check the truth.
"Risks and rewards are often proportional. Will the kid shrink when he encounters some difficulties? Master, I can feel that there are good things in this stone temple."
