The three of them killed the Faceless Scholar and arrived at the location of its remains.
The reason why it is called a wreckage is because this thing cannot be called a corpse, because after it died, only a piece of broken skin was left, which seemed to be human skin.
"No wonder, this should be a human skin puppet, not the real person." Li Rui frowned, not wanting to touch the skin.
He Chengli flattered him as always: "Brother Rui, you know so much, you actually know he is a puppet."
"...Isn't that what the event is called?" Li Rui was speechless.
But He Chengli said seriously: "That's pretty awesome if you can think of it. You see, Brother Wu didn't realize it."
"I've messed with you so damn much!"
Wu Sun punched him directly on the head.
After many battles, the relationship between the three of them has become better and better. Originally, he was still a little reserved in front of the direct grandson of the He family, but now he has long since disappeared.
While the two were bickering, Li Rui checked the rare quality reward in the inventory.
[Blood Marrow Crystal Nucleus]
[Quality: Rare]
[Description: One of the core materials for making blood evil style items. ]
"Brother Wu, what is the blood evil sect?"
After hearing his question, Wusun thought for a moment, searched for relevant clues with his scumbag brain, and then said: "It is an evil sect that is despised by the righteousness of the secret world. It will use many treacherous and sinister methods, such as this Human skin puppet.”
Li Rui asked: "Can we also use this crystal core to make puppets?"
"That's not possible."
Wusun said, "Puppetry definitely requires related skills, and making it out of human skin probably requires other abilities from the Blood Evil School. I can't remember this clearly. Besides, you can't really go and peel the skin." Ah, I have to skin him alive."
He Chengli said: "What we encountered was a puppet of a world NPC, at least level 50, but the puppet was still killed by us, which shows that this puppet is not very powerful and there is no use in making it."
Li Rui thought so too.
Wu Sun added: "Yes, you can use it to make other things. For example, I remember a blood mist bomb, a rare quality consumable, very powerful."
This is pretty good.
Li Rui put aside the thought of studying rewards, allocated the attribute points brought by tasks and upgrades to the spirit and body, and then said: "We will go into details after we get out of the secret realm. Let's get down to business first."
"What's the business? I don't dare to go back to the military camp now. The NPCs in the world might still be there."
"We have to find a safe place to hide. After he leaves, theoretically, a new exit will be generated in the secret realm."
He Chengli is not a mere follower. He has been nurtured by his family since he was a child. He actually has a lot of theoretical knowledge. "If I guess correctly, if the military camp is attacked, Liang Ting Ancient Kingdom should send the Demon Suppression Department to deal with it. There are also many experts in that department. .”
Wu Sun immediately felt excited: "In other words, we can just find a place to hang out and spend some time."
Li Rui waved his hand: "No, it's such a loss."
"What?"
The other two didn't react.
"There are still so many puppets. We have to find them and kill them to gain experience." Li Rui said seriously.
"no no."
Wu Sun quickly dissuaded him, "This puppet must be related to me. If we go to kill others, it will be over if we recruit me."
Li Rui pointed to the human skin on the ground and said, "Let's kill this No. 5. He already knows it. Look at the methods he used along the way. That guy just doesn't want to be left alive. If he wants to come, he will come sooner or later."
"So, hurry up now and kill the remaining puppets. The experience gained will at least be enough for us to reach level 13 or 4, and we will be able to eliminate his spy in the forest. This will give us a greater chance of survival."
He Chengli stood between the two of them, looked at Li Rui, and then at Wu Sun: "I have to say one thing, regardless of the fan filter, I think what Brother Rui said makes sense."
Wu Sun was also convinced and nodded: "Okay, but the question is, where should we find the remaining puppets."
"Looking for it? We don't have to look for it."
Li Rui smiled evilly like a dragon king.
.....
Click.
Click.
The faceless scholar walked in the dark forest, holding a sealed iron box in his hand, which contained the souls of the last batch of prey.
It is just a puppet created by its master and will only do what it is told.
The order it received now was to kill all the living people in the forest and then seal their souls with iron boxes.
Having walked in the Silent Forest for a long time without encountering any more living people, the puppet thought with his limited thinking that the task should have been completed.
But it still wanders in the woods because its owner has not ordered it back.
As a puppet, it is not afraid, so even if there is no sound in the forest, it still seems to be strolling around.
In such a quiet environment, a sudden cry is very noticeable.
The puppet moved its ears, followed the sound, and soon saw three people.
"Come on! Help! Someone is injured."
The puppet is not a real person and does not think about any conspiracy. He just has an idea.
"Injured? It would be convenient to collect their souls."
It walked over, its hands turned into red claws, and saw three figures squatting on the ground, who seemed to be treating them.
As a puppet, it has no emotions and only has an instinct of loyalty to its master. It feels that as long as it collects as many living souls as possible, it will be more able to please its master.
This can perhaps be called a kind of... happiness?
However, the next moment, Li Rui made it understand one thing: it was happy too early.
Li Rui has discovered that these puppets are stupid and incapable of calculation, and they also have extraordinary perception. If you want to trick them, it is useless to sneak and hide. You must get something that is not about martial ethics.
Facts have proved that this strategy is correct. The puppet rushes in with the intention of killing all three people in an instant and then sealing their souls.
But its extraordinary movement speed has now become a life-threatening talisman.
He Chengli, who was pretending to be injured, and Wu Sun, who was pretending to be treated, suddenly jumped up and attacked from both sides, limiting the puppet's movement range and allowing Lei Xuan to hit it head-on.
With a loud bang, several towering trees were severely damaged, and the puppets were reduced to human skin.
The three of them had all been promoted to one level just now, and the battle was obviously a little easier.
"Wow, it really gave me another experience."
He Chengli felt that his three views had been changed by the man he met when he was nineteen years old. It turned out that he could upgrade so quickly.
Li Rui suppressed his excitement and said calmly: "Now we can confirm that the consciousnesses between the puppets are not connected, which means that the same trick can be repeated. We just killed No. 2 and No. 5 respectively, which means, At least there are still experience points for No. 1, 3, and 4."
"Well, let's go, change places, and continue fishing."
"Okay, Brother Rui!"
Wu Sun sighed secretly on the side. He finally understood why Li Rui only used two secret realms to reach level 11.
