Chapter 2609 - 2609 Inner City Taken (2 in 1)

2609 Inner City Taken (2 in 1)

The so-called Puppet City was handed over to Han Fei so easily. Han Fei couldn’t believe it himself.

What he couldn’t believe was that the old turtle really dared to give it away.

How big of a trump card was Puppet City? With such a city, Han Fei would immediately become one of the top factions in the Infinite Mining Area. To put it bluntly, Capital of Horror couldn’t even compare to this status. It was an independent superpower at the level of ferocious beasts and divine beasts.

It would be a lie to say that he was not happy, but Han Fei was vigilant. Having such a superpower was good in the short term, but in the long term, it was hard to say.

According to the Nine Giant God Turtle, the old turtle had been unable to become a god because of Puppet City. At the moment the old turtle handed over Puppet City, Han Fei couldn’t guess his thoughts.

But one thing was certain. The old turtle might have done the most courageous thing in his life.

And he was faced with almost the same situation as the old turtle.

Now that Puppet City belonged to him, the human race would have a foothold. Of course, that was on the premise that the human race was successfully rescued from the Chaotic Wasteland.

And once the day really came, it would be a golden age for the human race. As the Human Emperor, it was impossible for him to give Puppet City away in the short term. And once he didn’t give it away, he might follow in the old turtle’s footsteps.

The Nine Giant God Turtle advised the old turtle to put Puppet City down. As the Human Emperor, could he put down the human race? If he did, would he still be the Human Emperor?

These thoughts quickly ran through Han Fei’s mind.

However, he didn’t have much time to think about this problem. He didn’t know what was going on outside.

Han Fei strode to the Puppet Heart. Without needing anyone to tell him what to do, he had already placed his hand on the Puppet Heart.

Buzz!

In an instant, Han Fei sensed countless mental thoughts and soul obsessions through the Puppet Heart.

Many memory fragments, countless names, countless pieces of information, and countless stories surged into his soul.

“Ahhh~”

Although Han Fei’s soul was already extremely powerful, at this moment, he felt that his soul was rapidly expanding. It was not that his soul was becoming stronger, but the information he received was too much and too complicated.

In addition to the information of these puppets, Han Fei could also sense the energy lifeline of the entire Puppet City. The mysterious array patterns branded on the ground, mountain, and buildings seemed to be connected to him.

After these feelings, Han Fei felt that his Qi and blood were crazily extracted, and his soul was abnormally exhausted.

Two hour later.

Han Fei was still digesting the infinite information of Puppet City. He had the urge to sleep, to have a good sleep.

However, in his perception, at every minute and every second, the threads of a puppet were breaking. This meant that if he rested here for another second, a puppet of the Sky Opening realm might die outside.

Because of the connection with the Puppet Heart, Han Fei could sense that there were no puppets in the outer city anymore, or rather, those puppets no longer belonged to Puppet City.

The outer city gate was also in danger. He could sense that a force was attacking Puppet City.

Han Fei knew that now was not the time for him to come out of seclusion. It wouldn’t help if he went out. Although he had taken over Puppet City, it didn’t essentially increase his strength.

Although he could sense that when he completely controlled Puppet City, he could borrow the power of the Puppet Heart, it wasn’t something that could be done in a short period of time.

Therefore, he was waiting.

…

An hour later.

In the inner city of Puppet City.

After gaining a lot of experience fighting puppets, the countless teams of the northern expedition army went from being passive to actively seeking battle.

Furthermore, after the situation in those buildings was investigated, many buildings had already been completely flattened by the northern expedition army, or even the ferocious beasts and divine beasts.

For example, the teahouse that Han Fei had entered before had collapsed. The owner of the teahouse finally appeared.

It was a level-seven mineral puppet. He was guarding a tea tree in a teahouse. The tea bushes were no more than three hundred square meters. However, the tea here was an opportunity, a rare treasure in the eyes of outsiders.

Han Fei’s soul power had also increased when he drank tea there.

After Han Fei, in the northern expedition army, in a force called the Thousand Phenomena Sect, a young strong cultivator was coldly watching the disciples of the Thousand Phenomena Sect besieging the puppet tea drinkers who were almost all dead, as well as the waiter who was fighting a bloody battle and the shopkeeper who had just appeared.

Someone said, “Lord Umbrella Emperor, this level-seven mineral puppet is very special. He holds an ultra-quality tea knife in his hand. It seems that if we attack by force, he might directly destroy the tea bushes.”

The young strong cultivator snorted. “Surround him. Don’t give him a chance to catch his breath until he’s ready to destroy the tea bushes.”

Upon hearing this, everyone no longer hesitated. Seven strong cultivators in the perfected Star Transformation Realm surrounded the shopkeeper. After only half an hour, the shopkeeper’s entire body began to dim. Although he was a mineral puppet, the power of the mineral needed to be replenished. In such a crazy battle, the mineral power in his body couldn’t last long. Once his combat power fell, this tea plantation would benefit these intruders.

Therefore, the shopkeeper instantly retreated and surrounded himself with the tea knife in his hand, forming a connate array. And the shopkeeper in the array attacked the tea bushes angrily.

There was no telling if it was because he had watched these tea bushes for too long, but at the moment he attacked the tea bushes, he hesitated.

Right at this moment, the Umbrella Emperor who had been speaking suddenly moved. While the shopkeeper was hesitating, the big umbrella in his hand that hadn’t been opened suddenly opened.

In the next moment, a terrifying suction force burst out of the umbrella, stopping the shopkeeper in midair.

Taking advantage of this time, the keel of the big umbrella turned into spear beams, and in an instant, six spear beams hit the shopkeeper’s back.

The shopkeeper didn’t look back to block, because his goal was the tea bushes. He would rather the tea bushes be destroyed than let them fall into the hands of the intruders.

He threw out the ultra-quality tea knife in his hand, but when he threw out the ultra-quality godly weapon, his body was nailed through.

As for the young strong cultivator called the Umbrella Emperor, his eyes flashed, and a purple halo burst out of the umbrella. This was the barrier in the umbrella.

Clang!

“Puff! Puff! Puff!”

With a clang, the ultra-quality godly weapon-level tea knife failed to break through the barrier.

As for the Umbrella Emperor, it only spewed out three mouthfuls of essence blood in a row.

Although he was injured, he put on a smile and laughed. “This level-seven mineral puppet must have developed some intelligence, but a puppet is a puppet after all. How can it have any trump cards? Compared to the tea bushes, this tea knife may be more valuable.”

Immediately, someone congratulated him. “Congratulations on obtaining an ultra-quality godly weapon, Master Umbrella Emperor.”

Someone flattered him. “Up to now, I’ve never seen anyone who can resist the Umbrella King’s Umbrella World. Now that you’ve obtained this ultra-quality godly weapon-level tea knife, your strength will definitely soar.”

Someone smiled and said, “Not just the ultra-quality godly weapon, but this tea grove is also a treasure. It has been nurtured here for a million years and has amazing effects. If you take it out, you might be able to exchange it for an ultra-quality godly weapon.”

The Umbrella Emperor grinned and said with a casual smile, “You’ve all made great contributions on this trip. Each of you can have a level-seven mineral puppet as repayment.”

Everyone was overjoyed. They couldn’t take down the ultra-quality godly weapon and the tea grove. Although they were the ones who contributed, they couldn’t have won without the Umbrella Emperor. Therefore, they were all overjoyed to be given a level-seven mineral puppet.

However, just as the Umbrella Emperor extended his hand to the tea knife, suddenly hundreds of blue arrows were shot from all directions. Seeing these arrows, everyone’s expression changed drastically.

Someone was surprised. “How can it be? We are on the ground. How can these arrows attack us?”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Clank, Clank, Clank ~

Because the area of the seal set by the Umbrella World was large, and these arrows were all aimed at this seal, the Umbrella Emperor didn’t have time to retract the seal before it was shot through.

At this moment, a tall puppet of strength rushed over. He extended his hand and the tea knife flew towards him.

“No way.”

The Umbrella Emperor was furious. How could he return the ultra-quality godly weapon he acquired with difficulty?

He held the umbrella in front of him and the surface of the umbrella spun, turning into a black hole space. Many arrows drilled into the black hole and disappeared.

The Umbrella Emperor roared, “Everyone, dismantle this puppet of strength!”

“Puff ~”

But as soon as he said so, a strong cultivator in the Perfected Star Transformation Realm was pierced through by an arrow, and his body was ignited with raging flames.

Everyone was horrified again. Although these mechanical arrows were powerful, it was impossible for them to hit them when they were prepared!

However, looking in the direction of the arrow, he saw a level-seven archer puppet appear on the roof of a building not far away.

Swish ~

On the other side, another archer puppet appeared and shot seven arrows in a row, stopping everyone from running towards the puppet of strength.

Someone shouted, “Haven’t the streets around here been cleaned up? Why are there still so many archers?”

Someone’s face changed drastically. “Not good. A puppet squad has come.”

Everyone was dumbfounded to see a team of twenty puppets. Where did they come from? Why did they feel that these puppets were coming for them?

However, they had never encountered such a situation before! The aftershock of the battle in this Puppet City was extremely small. Logically speaking, it was impossible for their battle to attract so many puppets! Could it be that this teahouse was special?

However, at this moment, they had no time to think. A large number of puppets had arrived. But there were only eight of them in total. Oh, no, one had died just now. Now there were only seven left. How could the seven of them resist at least five archers, twenty patrolling puppets, and a puppet of strength?

A battle was about to break out. The destructive power of the level-seven archer puppet played a decisive role in this chaotic battle.

In just thirty seconds, six puppets had died, and three more Perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators of the Thousand Phenomena Sect had died.

In these thirty seconds, another five-person team of shield puppets appeared. They pushed forward, holding the shields.

Finally, someone realized that something was wrong and shouted, “Master Umbrella Emperor, we’ve been targeted. We can’t fight anymore.”

The Umbrella Emperor’s expression was extremely ugly. Of course, he knew that they were being targeted, but the problem was, why were these puppets targeting them?

There were also many people who couldn’t figure it out. They all encountered the same situation. They were supposed to push forward, but they were suddenly targeted. Many people died under the arrows. This was the first time they had experienced the true horror of the archer puppets.

On this side, there were only four people left from the team of the Thousand Phenomena Sect who had been surrounded.

Finally, three Dao Locks appeared on the Umbrella Emperor.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The Dao Locks were broken, and the Umbrella Emperor was much stronger than before. He tried to break through the shields with the protection of his umbrella, trying to open a gap.

However, although he broke the shields, the puppet of strength suddenly appeared behind the shield puppets, holding an ultra-quality godly weapon-level tea knife, and slashed the black umbrella in the Umbrella Emperor’s hand.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In an instant, five arrows pierced through the broken umbrella and instantly fell on the Umbrella Emperor.

Whoosh!

The flames burned, and this young strong cultivator of the Thousand Phenomena Sect who was arrogant just now turned into a burning man in the blink of an eye. Perhaps even he didn’t expect that he would die on the spot just because he fought for these opportunities.

With the death of a Dao Lock-level powerhouse, how could the others who were besieged by so many puppets have a good ending? Soon, they suffered the same fate.

…

This was certainly Han Fei’s masterpiece. Although he hadn’t completely controlled the Puppet Heart, he could already control some puppets.

Besides, he didn’t want to besiege everyone. What he wanted to besiege were the top strong cultivators of the Hundred Alliance who wreaked havoc on the structure and buildings of Puppet City.

Among them, the people from the Divine Demon Forest were the most miserable.

The Divine Demon Forest was ranked sixth in the Hundred Alliance City.

Although the leader of the team, Lin Ke, had died, it didn’t mean that there was no one left in the Divine Demon Forest. Apart from Lin Ke, there was a strong master with three Dao Locks and three ones with two Dao Locks from the Divine Demon Forest.

But at this moment, this group of people was besieged by nearly a hundred archer puppets.

However, no one knew about their death, even though a large group of itinerant cultivators were gathered outside the Trial Ground of Strength on the street next to them.

…

On this side, Han Fei was refining the Puppet Heart while controlling these puppets to kill and fight.

Han Fei finally understood why the old turtle could conquer the Demon Vanquishing Tree before his memories were restored. It was because the puppets here listened to him.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Han Fei’s ear. “In my opinion, it’s meaningless for you to kill these people. When the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand comes in and a large number of ominous things pour in, these people will die sooner or later. Why waste manpower to deal with them now?”

Han Fei shivered. “Can you enter this cultivation field?”

Mystic One said, “I’m the only one who can go in and out freely except for Mystic Martial.”

Han Fei thought of Mystic One’s identity and strength when he was alive. It seemed reasonable to treat him specially.

Han Fei said, “I killed those I felt necessary to kill. There are too many discordant voices among these people, and many of them are my enemies. I’m killing them now to save more people.”

Mystic One asked, “Are you going to save these people?”

Han Fei said, “Not every cultivator who enters Puppet City should be killed. I’m afraid that some of the people I killed shouldn’t have been killed, but they can only blame their bad luck. Without a baptism of blood, how can our human race become a peak power in the Infinite Mining Area?”

Mystic One didn’t respond to Han Fei’s words but said, “The inner city will be broken in a hundred seconds at most. Once the inner city is broken, more than 40,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils will be a destructive flood. How many puppets can you mobilize now?”

Han Fei said, “Twenty thousand.”

Of course, there were more than 20,000 puppets in the entire Puppet City. The exact number was even close to 200,000.

However, Han Fei’s soul power was limited. It was already unbelievable that he could control 20,000 puppets in such a short period of time.

He estimated that Han Fei could only mobilize ten thousand puppets at most.

Han Fei said, “A hundred seconds is too short. How much longer can you block the Great Monarch Bloody Hand?”

Mystic One said, “I don’t know. I probably won’t attack the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. I’ll still stay by your side until you control more puppets. Because the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand will be looking for you first.”

Han Fei sneered. “Me? That’s exactly what I want.”

A hundred seconds later.

Bang!

The earth was shaking, and in the inner city, countless people felt the gravity suddenly lighten, and the pressure from the soul was reduced.

They were surprised to find that although their perception range was still limited, it had been greatly increased. The furthest range of perception could already reach tens of thousands of kilometers.

For a moment, the northern expedition army, the divine beasts, and the ferocious beasts were all shocked.

“What’s going on? Has the seal on Puppet City been broken?”

“Hiss! My perception is working. Where are my team members?”

“Good, good. My perception is back, but my power hasn’t returned yet. However, it’s already good enough.”

“Not right. My perception is gradually returning, and the suppressing power of my power is gradually weakening. It won’t be long before we return to our peak state.”

For a moment, everyone in the inner city of Puppet City was speaking telepathically.

Someone spoke to his team via voice transmission, “Wait for me. I’ll be right there soon.”

Someone was overjoyed. “Everyone from the Heaven Worshiping Palace, gather towards me.”

Someone said telepathically, “The strong cultivators from the Grand Development Sect, return quickly.”

Someone’s voice resounded in the sky, “Outside the river, in the advanced trial field of strength, the people of our Red Moon Unit gather here.”

In terms of the importance of perception, they usually didn’t think perception was that important. But at this moment, everyone was excited, which was the joy of surviving a disaster.

However, this joy only lasted for less than a hundred seconds.

Suddenly, the team shouted, “Look, it’s the Bloody Hand Mine Devils! So many Bloody Hand Mine Devils are coming!”

Someone exclaimed, “Look, black smoke is rising from the city gate. What happened?”

While they exclaimed, they saw puppets walking out of the surrounding buildings.

Many people’s first reaction was that they were facing a great enemy. Some people even activated secret techniques and prepared to burn their bloodlines. After all, the number of these puppets far exceeded their expectations. It was fine if there were five or ten of them, but why were there hundreds of them at once? Wasn’t this a little f*cking scary?

Someone exclaimed, “Something happened? It seems that the Bloody Hand Mine Devils have entered Puppet City, and the puppets of Puppet City are coming out to protect the city.”

Someone was horrified. “If you don’t want to die, enter the alleys. The puppets and the Bloody Hand Mine Devils are about to fight. We have to find a place to avoid their battlefield.”

However, while many people were panicking and looking for places to hide, all the puppets ran straight to the center of Puppet City after leaving the buildings. They were very fast and disappeared from everyone’s vision in a moment.

Many people were puzzled. What was going on? Did something happen at the center of the inner city too? Were these puppets going to reinforce the inner city?

Someone muttered, “For some reason, I have a bad feeling.”

Those who were smarter had already said telepathically, “Don’t just stand there. Run to the central area, or we’ll all die when the army of Bloody Hand Mine Devils arrives.”

Someone shouted, “Come on, follow these puppets. Retreat.”

At the same time, these people who were running wildly suddenly saw strange cylindrical objects extending out of many buildings.

Someone recognized it and his expression changed drastically. “Not good. They’re the activation devices of the purifying fire.”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

As soon as he said so, the pillars spun and threw out blue arrows.

There were tens of thousands of purification arrows in the sky, targeting the Bloody Hand Mine Devils that swarmed into the inner city.

Everyone who was fleeing towards the central area was surprised to find that both the puppets and the purification arrow devices in Puppet City seemed to have forgotten them.

At this moment, someone saw an opportunity. The Bloody Hand Mine Devils entered Puppet City, and Puppet City immediately abandoned all operations against them.

In order to deal with these Bloody Hand Mine Devils, too many puppets came out of the buildings. In that case, didn’t it mean that these buildings were empty now?

For a time, many people took the risk of being caught up by the Bloody Hand Mine Devils and entered the buildings along the way.

They felt that the Bloody Hand Mine Devils wouldn’t be able to reach their current location so quickly. After all, the arrows here were very powerful and specialized in suppressing these Bloody Hand Mine Devils.

Someone was tempted and followed them into the buildings to explore.

Seeing this, someone shook his head slightly, thinking, You idiots, don’t you see that even the puppets are running to the center of the inner city? Do you want to die?

Soon, someone had some gains.

Some people obtained cultivation technique manuals from the buildings, some obtained mineral resources, some obtained godly weapons, and some obtained strange tools.

Anyway, people found all kinds of things from the inside of these buildings one after another.

However, when they left the buildings, there was nothing but pure black in their eyes. Yes, they couldn’t see anything. Endless black fog enveloped them.

Before many people could leave these buildings, they saw black fog break through the barrier of the buildings and surge in.

No one expected the darkness to corrode them so quickly. They just entered the building and came out only to find that they were already within the range of the mist.

Anyone who was enveloped by the boundless dark mist seemed to be possessed. They instinctively went out and headed for the center of the inner city like puppets.
