I was stunned and quickly took off the clothes of the man in white robe, but I was surprised to find that his entire torso was made of bamboo poles!
This stalker is actually a puppet.
Seeing this situation, Lonnie, Bai Ze and Jing Jingjing and I looked at Li Xia at the same time, our eyes full of doubts.
In our team, Li Xia is originally a shadow puppet. Who else but him can control such a puppet?
"Guys, I am not controlling this puppet!"
Li Xia looked panicked and quickly explained.
"You and I are now comrades in the same team. There is no reason to send a puppet to follow you."
"What's more, now that my magic power is reduced to ten percent, I can only control palm-sized shadow puppets. I can't control such puppets that are as tall as a real person."
What Li Xia said does make some sense. Although I know he is not a good person, but now, he has to rely on us to enter the ghost road, and sending a puppet to follow him is actually unnecessary.
Since Li Xia didn't do it, who sent this puppet?
I became increasingly confused.
Speaking of which, I do have many enemies now. In addition to the wizard group, there are also Ding Busan from the Shangqing Sect, Taoist Master Xuanming from the Cangyun Sect, and others. Could it be that they followed here secretly?
But this place is far away from the south. If these people follow them all the way from the south, I should be aware of it.
After thinking about it for a long time, I had no clue, so I simply put the matter aside for the time being.
Anyway, I just need to understand that we are not the only ones keeping an eye on the dragon veins, so I just need to be more vigilant.
After that, we let Li Xia lead the way and continue moving forward.
After wandering among the ancient trees for who knows how long, we finally passed through the dense forest. However, before we were happy, I saw a cliff suddenly appeared in front of us.
This cliff is nearly tens of meters high, straight up and down, lying in front of us, blocking our way.
"What's next?"
I glanced at Li Xia and asked in a deep voice.
"Next, we have to climb the cliff. There is still a long way to go."
Li Xia replied.
Climb a cliff?
I was stunned. This cliff is so steep and the rock wall is extremely smooth. There is no place to climb. How are we going to go up?
Although my strength is not weak now, I still can't fly over cliffs. It is indeed difficult for me to climb to the top of the cliff.
Even Lonnie and Bai Ze looked embarrassed. It seemed that climbing this cliff would be a big challenge for them.
While thinking about how to climb up, Li Xia suddenly muttered something and started to twist on the ground.
For a moment, there were many shadows all around, and countless skinned figures emerged from the dense forest and walked towards us.
"What are you going to do?"
I quickly pulled out the Martial King Whip and looked at Li Xia with a wary face.
"Mr. Cheng, I don't mean any harm."
Li Xia quickly explained: "I want these shadow puppets to help bring you all to the top of the cliff."
After hearing what Li Xia said, I stepped aside to see what tricks he could do.
Under Li Xia's command, the shadow puppets quickly formed a team and walked to the bottom of the cliff. Li Xia then blew a whistle, and the first shadow puppet turned around and faced us.
After that, the second shadow puppet jumped up on the shoulder of the first shadow puppet, and the third one jumped on the second shoulder...
By analogy, hundreds of shadow figures formed a stack of Arhats. After a while, they actually stacked up to the top of the cliff, forming a hanging ladder.
"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Bai, as long as you climb this ladder, you can climb to the top of the cliff."
Li Xia said with great respect.
"Are you sure these shadow puppets can contain us?"
An Jingjing, who had been silent all this time, saw this and couldn't help but asked.
After all, these shadow puppets are only made of some animal skins and cardboard. They are very fragile and can be broken with a slap. How can they withstand the weight of the human body?
"Don't worry, Miss An. These shadow puppets have become very strong now with the blessing of my magic. You can just climb up boldly."
Li Xia said with a smile.
Anyway, this guy is right next to me, so I don’t think he dares to use any means, so he plans to be the first to set an example for everyone.
"I'll go first."
But before I could say anything, Bai Ze had already taken the lead and reached the hanging ladder, so I had no choice but to give up.
Bai Ze's toes were just a little bit on the ground, then he jumped onto the shoulder of the first shadow puppet and stood firmly on it.
Mr. Bai Ze weighed more than a hundred pounds, but the shadow puppet underneath was motionless and looked very strong.
Seeing this, Bai Ze continued to climb up. Not long after, he stepped over the shoulder of the last shadow puppet, jumped up to the top of the cliff.
"Everyone, I've tried it, no problem!"
Bai Ze stuck his head out from the cliff and gestured to us with his mouth. .
Now that Bai Ze has verified it, I plan to be the last one to show off to everyone.
After a while, Lonnie, Jingjing and Li Xia all climbed up, and it was finally my turn.
I followed Bai Ze's previous method and climbed up quickly by pushing on the shadow puppet's shoulders. I had just climbed nearly halfway when suddenly, I heard a burst of laughter from behind me.
The laughter was very weird and sounded like a ghost. At the same time, I saw Lonnie and others on the cliff, all pointing behind me anxiously.
I turned around suddenly and saw a monster with a human face, flapping a pair of gray wings, hovering above my head.
That ghostly laughter just now was exactly what it came from!
This monster has a pair of cat ears and is covered with gray feathers. Isn't this an owl?
It's just that compared to ordinary owls, this owl is several times larger. Its scarlet eyes are shining with a faint cold light, and it is staring at me!
Before I could react, the owl screamed strangely, flapped its wings and rushed towards me. A pair of eagle beaks as sharp as sickles pecked at my throat!
I grabbed the shadow puppet's leg above with one hand, took out the King of Martial Whip with the other hand, and whipped the owl hard.
Whoosh!
Unexpectedly, this owl moved extremely fast. When it was less than half a meter away from me, its wings suddenly flashed and it changed direction quickly, barely avoiding my attack.
After flying more than ten meters, the owl turned around and rushed towards me again.
The impact this time was more rapid than before, but when the owl turned back just now, I had already attached a thunder and fire talisman to the King of Martial Whip, preparing to give the owl a fatal blow.
Seeing it, the owl was approaching again like a fighter jet, and I was ready to fight.
