Chapter 464： Stone Golem

Chapter 464 Solid Stone Puppet

When Wang Tao came back from the research institute, Li Qiuyu had already woken up. Ding Yuqin and the others were all gathered together, chattering about something.

The hidden attribute that Li Qiuyu obtained before was [Land Affinity], which is similar to perception ability. This ability is not bad, especially in such ice and snow conditions, it is much easier to use than Wang Tao's previous [Plant Affinity].

Wang Tao is also looking forward to what Li Qiuyu’s awakening will be like.

“Wang Tao! I’m awake!”

Seeing Wang Tao come back, Li Qiuyu trotted up to Wang Tao with some excitement.

Wang Tao smiled and looked at Li Qiuyu's attributes.

【HP: 20000/20000】

【Blue amount: 32000/32000】

【Level: Level 4】

Looking only at these attributes, Wang Tao feels that this stone puppet seems to be very ordinary.

Wang Tao immediately took some awakening crystal cores for her to use. As her awakening energy increased, her face gradually turned rosy.

【Solid Puppet: Use earth element to condense into a puppet】

Li Qiuyu told everyone that the stone puppet can attack freely after receiving orders, or Li Qiuyu can control the attack throughout the process.

Although Li Qiuyu is no longer her former self, her combat effectiveness and combat experience are definitely incomparable to Xiang Hongbin, so Li Qiuyu is not prepared to control it by herself, but lets the stone puppet play freely.

Everyone could clearly see that the snow on the ground began to shake, and a huge, gray... stone lump slowly straightened up!

"good!"

【Awakening: Solid Stone Golem】

Li Qiuyu said a little embarrassed.

Summoning a thing like this is definitely not for cleaning. Fighting is its job.

【Impurities in the body: 2%】

【HP: 100000/100000】

Xiang Hongbin stood up eagerly.

"I'm OK!"

Wang Tao is still looking forward to her awakening. This is the first time he has seen an awakening that can summon thugs.

It has a level, but it only shows the fourth level, and does not show "ordinary, elite, lord" or anything like that, which means that its level should be similar to that of humans, or to be precise, it should be similar to Li Qiuyu who summoned it...

Li Qiuyu responded, and then she came to the yard and waved to the snow.

This was the first time for many people to see this situation, and they subconsciously exclaimed.

“I can control it with my mind…”

Li Qiuyu didn't see any movement, but the big stone puppet started walking around the yard, cleaning up the snow, and even dancing.

"let's start."

Wang Tao stretched out his hand and touched it. It was hard, rough, and cold... It really had the texture of stone.

“I’ll do it! I’ll fight this stone puppet!”

This was just a sparring match, not a life-and-death fight, so Xiang Hongbin didn't rush forward immediately. He let the stone puppet attack first.

This stone puppet has a health bar, with a total of 100,000 health bars. This blood volume is not much, it is just the threshold of the fourth level. Everyone in Wang Tao's team has higher health bars than this. And it doesn't have a blue bar, which means it shouldn't have any powers.

“Not yet, I’ll wait until you come back to use it, because I feel like I can only use it once in a short period of time…”

This stone puppet had no intention of resisting anyone's caressing. Even if Li Qiuyu allowed it to move freely, it did not show any emotion.

Wang Tao was a little surprised when he looked at this three-meter-high humanoid creature made of gray stone.

“Eh?” Seeing Li Qiuyu’s awakening, Wang Tao was immediately surprised. “Have you ever used awakening?”

And the combat test is also very simple, just find someone to practice with this stone puppet.

Wang Tao and his group stepped aside to make room for Xiang Hongbin and the stone puppet. After confirming that both Li Qiuyu and Xiang Hongbin were fine, Wang Tao nodded and said:

 Wang Tao feels that it is a bit like a "biological weapon". It may have consciousness, but its consciousness is very weak. It can barely be regarded as a... stone life?

Wang Tao suddenly thought that Qu Shilin had returned a little too early. If she was allowed to see this stone puppet, she might not be happy for a long time.

"Wow!"

Wang Tao can't research anything for the time being. He can only look at its combat effectiveness.

“It can only be used once, which means it consumes 100 awakening energy... You use it once and I’ll see.”

“Let’s try its combat effectiveness.”

Everyone gathered around him curiously, touching this and that.

But you can't just take everything at face value, because this stone puppet still feels very solid to Wang Tao.

She had a total of 100 awakening energy, which was all consumed at once, and she felt somewhat tired.

Li Qiuyu spoke with a slightly tired face.

【Level: Level 4】

The stone puppet's small eyes glowed with a faint yellow light, and then it strode towards Xiang Hongbin.

咚,咚…

Xiang Hongbin didn’t think this stone puppet was very strong at first, but thought it might be rough-skinned and fleshy. But when the stone puppet strode towards him, Xiang Hongbin suddenly felt a slight pressure.

This made Xiang Hongbin’s eyes light up immediately. The stone puppet in combat mode is different from before, and this is exactly what he wants!

——

The stone puppet raised his arm and punched Xiang Hongbin.

This punch was plain and simple, and with Xiang Hongbin's speed, he could dodge it completely. But in order to test the puppet's strength, Xiang Hongbin chose to resist.

 Xiang Hongbin’s mechanical arm collided with the stone arm of the stone puppet.

boom-

Poof!

Everyone clearly saw that Xiang Hongbin was directly hit by the huge fist of the stone puppet and was slightly shorter!

Looking carefully, I realized that Xiang Hongbin’s calves were stuck into the ground!

“Good guy!”

Xiang Hongbin’s eyes were full of disbelief.

For now, in terms of strength alone, Wang Tao cannot compare to him. After all, he is not only a system awakener, but also has a half-human, half-machine body. The combined increase of these two makes him invincible in terms of strength.

He didn't hold back the punch he just made. Although he didn't throw it with all his strength, he still used it normally.

But he was hit by a stone puppet and fell to the ground...

“Lao Xiang, you shouldn’t have been knocked unconscious, right?”

Seeing Xiang Hongbin frustrated, Wei Zhenguo suddenly smiled and joked.

“…I’m going to be serious!”

The light from the crystal core on Xiang Hongbin's chest became much hotter. He jumped up suddenly and punched the stone puppet in the abdomen. Faced with Xiang Hongbin's attack, the stone puppet did not dodge at all. He slapped Xiang Hongbin again as he jumped up.

If Xiang Hongbin does not stop, when he attacks the stone puppet, he himself will also be hit by the stone puppet.

Xiang Hongbin’s fighting style was already relatively rough, and now they were sparring. With Lan Yulian around, it was impossible to put his life in danger, so Xiang Hongbin did not dodge, and came out with another head-on move.

boom-

It's punch hit the stone puppet's abdomen firmly. The punch was so powerful that the stone puppet's huge body immediately took a step back. But the stone puppet's slap also hit Xiang Hongbin.

——

Xiang Hongbin was knocked straight away and fell into the snow.

…”

Everyone was confused.

This stone puppet is too powerful! Xiang Hongbin, who is so powerful in combat, can't even be defeated?

“Come on, keep going!”

 Xiang Hongbin climbed up from the snow and was fighting with the stone puppet again.

Watching Xiang Hongbin's battle, Wang Tao suddenly shook his head speechlessly.

“What a reckless man!”

Through the battle between Xiang Hongbin and the stone puppet, Wang Tao already had a rough idea of ​​the stone puppet's combat effectiveness.

Simply put, this stone puppet is about the level of a fourth-level lord. It has great strength and high defense, but its speed is very slow and its flexibility is relatively poor.

Xiang Hongbin can definitely beat the stone puppet. After all, the stone puppet's weakness is obvious.

But Xiang Hongbin didn’t believe in evil, so he just went head-to-head with the stone puppet where it was good at...

So the two sides were fighting back and forth, and the stone puppet might even have some upper hand!

If Xiang Hongbin did not fight head-on, but chose to use his own advantages, such as speed, then there would be no problem at all for him to want the hard stone puppet...

Of course, this is not entirely because Xiang Hongbin is too reckless, mainly because it is a competition now and there is no life or death crisis. Under this situation, Xiang Hongbin naturally played more unrestrainedly. Another thing is that he is a half-human, half-machine system awakener! Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he lost to the stone puppet in terms of strength?

boom!

boom!

…

For a long time, Xiang Hongbin sat on the ground and breathed heavily.

“No fight, no fight!”

Opposite him is a smaller stone puppet with a lot of gravel under its feet.

Watching the battle between the two end, everyone felt a little unsatisfied. After all, this kind of fight with no technical content and physical fists still looks very enjoyable.

Then everyone subconsciously looked at the stone puppet and said in their hearts, "It's really strong."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Wang Tao walked over with a smile.

After this test, he has basically figured out the combat effectiveness and combat methods of this stone puppet.

The stone puppet is good at strength and defense. Although it only has 100,000 health, it just stood there without resisting and let Xiang Hongbin hit him with his fists. Xiang Hongbin also had to fight for a while.

But its speed is relatively slow, and all the fourth-level awakeners present are faster than the stone golem.

So normally, you have to use your speed advantage to attack the stone golem. In theory, you can even kill it without any damage. After all, it has no long-range attack capabilities and is not fast, so it can definitely fly a kite...

In other words, Xiang Hongbin has to go head-to-head with the stone puppet in terms of strength, otherwise he would have captured the stone puppet long ago.

So, this is a combat power with high attack, high defense and low speed. Facing humans of the same level, he should be invincible. After all, humans are smarter and know how to adapt.

But if you are facing zombies, it may be different!

There are some smart zombies, but most of them are stupid. Facing this stone puppet, the zombies would probably be as hard-headed as Xiang Hongbin. But Xiang Hongbin is so good that he can break through the stone puppet's defense, but Xiang Zombie may not be able to!

Wang Tao has already thought of the use of this stone puppet - to use it as a human shield for them! Or throw them into the zombies and kill them randomly!

It is a pity that Li Qiuyu is not experienced enough in combat and allows the stone puppet to attack freely. If Wang Tao were to control it, it is estimated that the combat effectiveness would increase by at least another 30%!

Others could obviously understand the usefulness of this stone puppet, and they all expressed their sincere admiration.

“This puppet is great! If we have this thing in the future, it can help us attract zombies. Since the whole body is covered with stones, we are not afraid of being infected with the zombie virus! I don’t think zombies can even bite it!”

“That’s right, this is simply a natural human shield character!”

“But this puppet is a bit too big to fit in a car...”

…”

Wang Tao asked Lan Yulian to add blood to the puppet and Xiang Hongbin. Both of them were half alive.

Xiang Hongbin’s blood was quickly filled up, but the stone’s health bar did not move. Lan Yulian’s blood increase had no effect on it...

This made Wang Tao frown.

He looked at Li Qiuyu.

“This puppet cannot receive treatment?”

"Huh? I don't know...it seems like, treatment is really useless for it. It seems to be...one-time!"

“Disposable?”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their eyes suddenly lit up.

It’s good to do it once!

If it exists permanently, then in future battles, the life and death of the stone puppet will have to be considered, and it may not be convenient to take it out.

But if it is a one-time event, it means that Li Qiuyu can continue to summon! Even if he really died, he wouldn't feel bad. If there are any dangerous tasks in the future, you can let the stone puppet do it!

“But I think I can still take it back…”

Li Qiuyu scratched his head again.

“Take it back? You try it and I’ll see.”

Wang Tao said immediately.

"good!"

Li Qiuyu waved to the stone puppet, and then saw the stone puppet collapse instantly, turning into dust and disappearing.

“I feel like I have recovered some of my awakening energy…”

Li Qiuyu closed her eyes and felt the words carefully.

“Can you still summon stone golems?”

“It seems possible…”

Li Qiuyu waved his hand, and the stone puppet appeared again, and it was full of health!

“Tsk! It feels a bit strong! As long as the awakening energy is enough, wouldn’t it be possible to keep summoning...”

Wang Tao touched his chin, and then studied it carefully with Li Qiuyu.

Waiting until daybreak, Wang Tao finally figured out what happened to this [Solid Puppet]’s awakening.

Simply put, Li Qiuyu can use 100 awakening energy to summon a fourth-level puppet with 100,000 health, but he can only summon one. Unless this puppet dies or is taken back by her on her own initiative, she cannot continue to summon it.

If he withdraws it voluntarily, half of the awakening energy will be returned to Li Qiuyu. This half is related to the puppet's health. For example, if the puppet's 100,000 health is withdrawn, Li Qiuyu will be returned 50 awakening energy. If the puppet only has 50,000 health, then Li Qiuyu can only return 25 awakening energy.

This awakening sounds good, but it also has certain limitations. That is, Li Qiuyu can only summon one within an hour, and the time starts from the time he is summoned.

In other words, if the puppet dies after being summoned, she can continue to summon it after one hour; if the puppet dies after half an hour after being summoned, she cannot continue to summon it until half an hour later. Even if she took it back on her own initiative, there would be a one-hour cooling time...
