Chen Mo's body froze instantly, and he fell straight to the ground, followed by violent trembling like chaff.
His eyes rolled back, and he grabbed his head with both hands. His remaining consciousness was like countless needles stimulating his brain. The pain was so extreme that Chen Mo punched him hard, like a madman.
After more than a dozen breaths, Chen Mo became motionless as his body was covered with tumbling debris of dead leaves.
Qingqiu Hu nodded with satisfaction. He, who was always cautious, put his hand on the pulses of the three zombie puppets, feeling the presence of the soul-eating insects to prevent anyone from cheating his death and escaping.
"After two hours, feed them Awakening Corpse Pills. It's still the same rule as before. Don't move the puppet's magic weapon for the time being. It won't be good if it damages their consciousness." Qingqiu Fox said calmly.
"Yes!" Gu Liqin nodded immediately.
...
At noon, several people had already walked out of the bamboo sea and were flying eastward. Behind Gu Liqin were four puppets, each with a flying talisman, supporting him like stars over the moon.
"It's a pity...if only these people could be used by me..."
Before the look of regret on Gu Liqin's face faded, Guo Ying caught up from behind and said curiously, "Junior brother, do you feel that the puppet carrying the treasure is different from the others?"
"No way..."
Gu Liqin frowned. After what she said, he also started to look behind him. Judging from the appearance alone, except that the puppet was a bit ugly, there was really no difference.
However, this kind of thing is no joke. Once something goes wrong when sacrificing the puppet, they will be blamed even if they die.
Gu Liqin decided that it would not be too late to report to his master when he decided to take a rest.
After the bamboo sea, there was an endless desert. Several people took a rest in the evening. During the break, Gu Liqin talked about the matter to Qingqiu Hu.
"Oh...what you said is true?"
When Qingqiu Hu heard this, he also had a puzzled look on his face. He walked up to the stunned Chen Mo and once again investigated the existence of the Soul-eating Insect.
"Huh? There is indeed something different..."
This time, Qingqiu Hu looked at them carefully and showed some surprise.
"What's going on, Master? Didn't you control him?!" Gu Li asked in a pleading tone.
"No..." Qingqiu Hu shook his head: "It's because he controlled it so well. The Soul-eating Insect actually got nutrients in his body... It's really strange... How is his spiritual power? Is it such a good fit?”
After a pause, Qingqiu Fox continued to say to him:
"This is actually a good thing. Unlike the other three puppets, it still retains a little residual consciousness and can play a more useful role in the fight. It doesn't matter. You don't have to worry."
When Gu Liqin heard what his master said, he let go of his worries.
The night was full of dangers, and the four of them were not in a hurry, so they rested one night on the desert dunes.
Just after midnight, Guo Ying tiptoed over. Gu Liqin's ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly opened his eyes and whispered: "Sister, what's the matter?"
"The reaction is not slow!" Guo Ying said, looking around vigilantly, and said in an inaudible voice: "Master and Junior Brother Fan are both asleep!"
Gu Liqin glanced at her thoughtfully, glanced at her, and motioned for her to come over quickly. The latter didn't hesitate and sat directly over.
The two sides were silent, and Guo Ying wrote on the ground with sand and stones. The content was shocking:
"I'm worried that Master will harm us."
Gu Liqin's eyes tightened, he quickly erased the writing, and took a piece of sand to respond: "What senior sister thinks is not what I worry about!"
Guo Ying continued to write: "Master's plot is too big! He was originally a monk in the foundation building period, but for this secret realm, he actually cut off the cultivation of three souls! He didn't care about wasting hundreds of years of hard training. It can be seen from this that, How obsessed is he?!"
Gu Liqin thought about it for a long time and finally wrote: "Junior brother knows some secrets, but he is afraid that senior sister will not dare to listen."
Guo Ying glared at him: "Now we are grasshoppers on a rope, what can't we say?"
Gu Liqin asked her to react, nodded and wrote: "Then don't be too surprised! To be honest, what we are going to now is the eastern part of the Netherworld. There is buried a puppet of our Netherworld Cult in the stage of pill formation... ."
"Use the Five Puppet Demon Summoning Array to loosen the seal. If this puppet can be summoned for his use, who can stop him in Tianyun Continent except the old monster Nascent Soul...?!"
"What?!!"
Guo Ying had a look of disbelief on his face: "Puppet in the pill formation stage?! Even if it is summoned, it can't be controlled by the master's cultivation!!"
"Then I don't know!" Gu Liqin wrote: "What junior brother is worried about now is that the master is not telling the truth at all. It is possible that the five puppet summoning array is not five puppets, but...seven puppets!!"
Guo Ying felt a chill rush up his back: "You mean..."
"He has less than seven soul-eating worms. Don't use any secret method to turn us into puppets when the time comes!"
Gu Liqin frowned. Despite his indifferent expression, the calculation hidden in his heart was no worse than his master's.
"....What should we do?" Guo Ying wrote in confusion.
Gu Liqin sighed and wrote: "Let's take it one step at a time. The only good news is that Master still has one chance to condense his soul and restore his foundation-building cultivation..."
"But Master, this old fox, must never tell us the truth. He should have hidden it once to restore the combat power of the Foundation Establishment Stage. In short, you and I should be careful!"
Guo Ying's expression was erratic in front of the fire, and he sighed for a long time: "This is the only way."
Behind the two people, four puppets stood guarding near the sand dunes. Unlike the other three puppets, which had their backs turned to them, the walking corpse implanted by Gu Yao faced them head-on, allowing them to see their handwriting clearly.
...
The sky was overwhelming, sand and dust were flying, and the extreme fire beasts rushed towards the desolate valley one after another. The three Qingqiu Fox fought and retreated, with the four puppets in front, and the stone beach composed of crystal cores was already under their feet.
"How come we caught up with the herd of extremely fire beasts!"
Qingqiu Fox's face didn't look good. A few hours earlier, they had felt the mixed spiritual power between heaven and earth. They wanted to take a detour but found it was too late. They stopped fighting along the way, but they were still approaching the valley in front of them. .
Fortunately, these four puppets resisted desperately, otherwise they would have been trampled several times by the group of extreme fire beasts alone.
Even so, the four puppets were also covered in injuries and looked exhausted.
"Master! I'll let the puppet block the valley. Let's find a cave to hide in first and let the extreme fire beast rush through!"
Gu Liqin came up with a solution that was not a solution. Qingqiu Hu nodded: "Okay, execute it quickly! Let's go first!!"
"Yes!" Gu Liqin immediately accepted the order and used his spiritual consciousness to affect the awakening corpse pills in the four puppets: "Stay here!! You cannot move without my order!"
The puppet just stood here numbly, numbly slashing at the incoming extreme fire beast. When Gu Liqin saw this, he stopped staying and quickly caught up with Qingqiu Hu and the others.
