My teacher is a deity.

Chapter 34, First Encounter

A magic puppet?

Vishi took a bite of the frigid ice lizard and then drank some of the fire dragon lizard's blood.

Her understanding of puppets was superficial, limited to the superficial impression that these steel creations were powerful.

"But wouldn't replacing limbs be a good idea?"

"I've heard that many of the soldiers who survived on the Imperial front lines have been maimed or disabled."

Shi Qing looked at Wei Xi and replied calmly, "True hell is always paved with the best intentions."

If ordinary people were in power, coupled with capitalist tendencies, it would become a cyberpunk world.

Even with the restrictions imposed by high-ranking superhumans, you cannot change this overall trend.

Shi Qing's words carried a hint of emotion.

He had discussed this vision of external limbs and acquired modification technology with some people.

Buddhist practitioners believe that what they say is true; there is indeed a possibility of falling into a world even more desperate than cannibalism.

However, the Daoists of the Puppet Sect were inspired by this and attempted to use it to prove the Dao Fruit and achieve the Dao Integration. It is said that they have already achieved results and are on the verge of proving the Dao.

Before his death, the Buddhist sect and the puppet sect had already had a serious conflict over the Great Dao and were preparing to fight each other. Strictly speaking, he was the one who started this conflict.

He doesn't want to come back to this world again.

"Let's go. You've tempered your bones to withstand the cold and been tempered by fire enough. It's time to prepare to find something harmful that can withstand the wind and metal."

"oh oh."

Vishi nodded, stepped out of the ice field, and prepared to check if there had been any response to the requests he had posted earlier.

But as she returned along the giant stone pillar, she suddenly noticed a large crowd gathered outside the Green Valley Underground City.

Looking further out, they discovered that a large number of magical puppets were being distributed by the city's defense forces and assigned to many adventure groups.

The Green Silver Adventurers, whom I had met once before, were also among them.

This is?

Vichy moved a few steps and, without anyone noticing, found himself behind Gabo.

"Gapo, what's this?"

"what!"

Gabo was startled, turned around and looked, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh my, it's you! You scared me!"

Gabo wiped the sweat from his forehead and tapped the puppet of the same height next to him.

"We've found the Shadow Children's heels, and the city garrison is preparing a strong attack to force them out of the dog hole."

Seeing Vishi looking at the puppet, he explained, "These are weapons distributed to the various adventurer groups participating in the war missions; each one has second-tier destructive power!"

Second-order destructive power?

Vichy raised an eyebrow, gaining a clear understanding of the city's defense forces' determination.

A second-tier golem costs at least 500 gold coins to make, and these golems are even equipped with many constant spells, making them even more expensive.

This is a military weapon.

They're just assigning them directly to adventurer groups like that? And each adventurer group can even have three?

They're really rich and powerful.

Vichy sighed inwardly, then asked, "Has my previous request been fulfilled?"

"Oh! We found the information you were looking for, but are you really going to find the harpies and the gilded lions?"

Gabo seemed somewhat worried: "I know you're quite capable, but harpies and gilded lions are dangerous. Among these monsters, there might even be a third-tier monster leader!"

"and......"

Gabo looked around and whispered, "Many scouts have discovered that the gathering place of the Shadow Children is very close to the Harpies and the Gilded Lions."

There's a high chance a war will break out there, you'd better not go.

By the way, this is military intelligence, so please don't tell anyone I told you!

Vichy nodded, took out some gold coins as payment, and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Gabo suddenly stuffed the gold coin back into Vichy's hands.

"Sir, to be honest, I would also like to make a request of you."

"Me? I don't know how to gather intelligence or conduct reconnaissance!"

No, not these.

Gabo scratched his head and looked at the fully armed regiment members.

"I am a resident of the outer town of Gem City, as is Emily. War mercenaries are dangerous, and I don't know if I will come back alive."

If not, please take this back to Gates in Grass Beard Town; he is my brother.

These are just some relics. And one more thing: [I'll leave you with a message.]

Gabo remained silent, then lowered his head: "I told you, don't stay in Gem City anymore, it's not safe here."

......

Vichy eventually accepted this simple little request.

She could tell that what Gabo said wasn't a lie.

A war broke out silently in the dungeon.

This was quite a shock to her, a student from a small town who excelled at taking exams.

After collecting the pre-ordered goods and the books that Shi Qing had subscribed to, Vishi continued to sink down the megalithic pillar.

The territories of the harpies and the gilded lions are relatively close, with the gilded lions being the deepest, most dangerous, and closest to the children of shadow.

Therefore, Vishi planned to go to the harpy territory first.

"Don't move, there's trouble."

Suddenly, Shi Qing spoke up to stop Vichy.

Vixi looked at Shi Qing in confusion and noticed a simple talisman he had never seen before floating beside him.

At that moment, Vichy caught a familiar scent.

It was the smell of blood, a bloody scent tinged with a hint of floral fragrance.

Night City...

Vishi's heart tightened, and he quickly hid in the crevice of the giant stone pillar.

Not far away, the smell of blood grew stronger.

Some people emerged from the cave where the harpies lived.

No, it's not a person.

It's a monster.

They are harpies.

Their feathers were stripped off, their flesh was mangled, and their limbs were pieced together; the largest griffin, with its half-human appearance, was the most terrifying.

The head, with its neck stitched together, was split open at the very center, from which a thick mass of blood gushed out, transforming into threads that controlled this stitched-together evil creature.

"This is... a blood puppet!"

For a moment, Vichy felt a chill run down his spine.

She had never seen such a terrifying demon. The blood puppetry techniques of ordinary vampires would never be so brutal and cruel to life.

After the griffin halfling had gone far away, Shi Qing's voice slowly drifted over.

"Write a letter to remind those law-abiding knights and city guards."

"The Blood Demon they're chasing has a high chance of joining the war."

"Blood Demon!"

Vishi frowned immediately, never expecting that the Child of Shadows would be connected to this extremist terrorist.

Vichy quickly finished writing the letter, placed it where it was, and waited for the adventurous carrier pigeon to retrieve it.

The eerie smell of blood in the air slowly dissipated.

As she approached the harpy's lair, she discovered that it was covered in rivers of blood.

A large number of monsters were slaughtered, and even the young monsters could not be seen.

Adventurers generally don't kill young monsters, which would essentially wipe out the harpies in the Green Valley Dungeon.

"Why."

Vishi sighed, plucked a feather from the harpy's body, absorbed its wind elemental power, and began to temper his wind resistance.

at the same time.

The outer perimeter of Green Valley Underground City.

The adventurers are ready.

Their leaders each entered the puppet's body, using their powerful physiques to drive this war machine deeper into the realm of magic.

Deep within the dungeon, the Blood Demon slowly opened his eyes, and the Shadow Children beside him were ready.

In the darkness, countless scarlet eyes await a bloody battle.
