Chapter 201 Puppet
The servants who came to greet him were not living creatures, but puppets.
The appearance of these puppets really left Xu Mu speechless.
It doesn't matter if it looks like a human head or an animal body, with three heads and six arms. If the whole body is covered with heads and arms, it can be tolerated.
But what do you want to do with something covered in sea anemone mouths?
Do you want to disgust your opponent to death?
Xu Mu complained in his heart.
He has gained a lot of experience over the years, but this is the first time he has seen such a strange puppet.
The strength of these puppets is not very strong. Most of them are at the third or fourth level, which is similar to the late stage of Qi training and the early stage of foundation building.
For him, puppets of this level are not even qualified to be cannon fodder. He doesn't understand why the woman in front of him is making so many of them. He might as well recruit a few more practical Qi-training monks.
As if she could see the doubts in Xu Mu's heart, the woman explained: "I made these puppets just for fun when I was bored. If you like, I can give you a few!"
"Thank you for your kindness, senior!" Xu Mu refused and said, "No need!"
He really couldn't appreciate these abstract puppets. If he took them back, he would be laughed to death.
"Why are you so reserved now?"
Seeing Xu Mu's reaction, the woman smiled evilly and wrapped herself around him.
"You used to be very proactive!"
"..."
That was all decades ago, don’t talk nonsense!
Xu Mu felt depressed. In the past, he was the only one who teased others, but he never expected that he would be teased by others one day.
After teasing Xu Mu for a while, the woman waved the puppets in front of her to disperse and led Xu Mu to the palace alone.
The corridor was empty. Except for the occasional strange low-level puppet, Xu Mu didn't see a living person or even a living creature.
Although curious, Xu Mu didn't ask any more questions.
The more you get in touch with him, the more extraordinary you feel about the woman. It's better not to inquire too much, because the more you know, the faster you will die.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the woman stopped in front of a stone door. This place was already the deepest part of the palace. The woman opened the stone door with her hands.
The space inside is not large, only about ten square meters, and the walls are covered with formation runes so densely that just one look at them can make people feel dizzy.
"Stand in the middle!" the woman said.
"Senior, can you not give it up?"
Looking at this room, Xu Mu had some bad memories. He always felt that nothing good would happen after entering.
"Can!"
The woman actually smiled and nodded.
Before Xu Mu could be happy, she continued: "You can leave now. I will never stop you. I just don't want your daughter! I like her very much. Just follow me from now on!"
"..."
grass!
This is a naked threat, but Xu Mu can't change his face!
"I was just kidding! Senior, don't take it seriously!"
Xu Mu forced a smile on his face, walked in, and stood in the center of the formation.
"That's right! It's too late for me to love you, so how can I harm you! Hehe!"
The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, then quickly formed the magic formula. In that room, countless runes lit up.
A terrifying aura emanated from the woman's body, gathered into a leaf mark in the air, landed on Xu Mu's chest and merged into it.
"alright!"
The woman let out a long breath, as if it took a lot of effort on her part.
Xu Mu did not check the mark rashly, but walked out of the room first.
"Now can senior tell junior what happened?"
"Don't worry, I'll tell you when the others arrive."
"other people?"
Xu Mu frowned slightly. Could it be that he was not the only one responsible for this action.
The woman didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask.
"Senior, can you let me see my daughter first?"
He wanted to confirm whether Xu Ling was safe first.
"Can!"
The woman clapped her hands, and a white cat-shaped puppet suddenly jumped out from the darkness, stretched and let out a meow.
"Follow Xiaobai, he will take you there!"
"Meow!"
After saying that, the woman's figure disappeared out of thin air, and the puppet cat walked in one direction with elegant steps.
Xu Mu hesitated for a moment before following him.
The lights in the corridor lit up one by one as the two people moved around.
In this way, after one person and one cat walked through several corridors, they stopped in front of a hall covered with python-like tree roots.
"Meow!"
The puppet cat barked toward the main hall.
Those roots suddenly began to squirm, slowly revealing two figures buried in them.
A man and a woman, their eyes slightly closed, looking like they were asleep.
It's Xu Ling and Zhang Yu!
The aura in Xu Mu's body surged, and he immediately wanted to take action.
But in the end, reason suppressed impulse.
He just used his spiritual thoughts to confirm that the two of them still had breath.
"Meow!"
The cat-shaped puppet barked again, and the tree roots squirmed again, burying the two figures inside again.
It glanced at Xu Mu and continued walking forward. Xu Mu didn't know what the puppet wanted to do, so his eyes flickered and he followed him honestly.
After walking for a thousand meters, turning left and right, the puppet cat finally stopped. The door in front of it opened automatically, revealing the scene inside.
It was a simply decorated training room, but the aura inside was very rich, comparable to the top-notch cave he once lived in.
On the surrounding walls, there are a large number of runes used for defense.
"It looks like you want me to wait here!"
Xu Mu immediately guessed the other party's intention and walked in honestly.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
After he entered, the door closed automatically, and the puppet cat turned and left with graceful steps.
The oil lamps in the corridor were extinguished one by one as the puppet cat left.
When it became silent outside, Xu Mu took out the equipment for setting up formations from his storage bag. He first arranged several layers of isolation formations and defense formations in the room. After feeling a little safer, he gathered his mind and checked the chest. imprint.
Under the perception of Divine Mind, the mark was a ball of gentle energy, which did not corrode his body and just stayed in his chest quietly.
Xu Mu tried to penetrate his spiritual thoughts, but unfortunately he was blocked every time. No matter how hard he tried, it still had no effect.
"The other party's methods are too clever, and I can't deal with them now!"
Xu Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He had not experienced this feeling of powerlessness for a long time.
"I don't know what it is? Is it dangerous?"
In order to ensure his own safety, Xu Mu began to organize his things so that he would not be in a hurry at the critical moment and not know what to use.
First of all, there are only two magic weapons on his body, the purple cloud handkerchief and the red thread ball. One can be used for defense, and the other can be used for attack and control. After many years of cultivation, these two magic weapons can be used freely.
The advantage of using a magic weapon is that it saves worry and effort, and is flexible and changeable!
Then there are a large number of talismans, most of which are of the sixth level, a few of the seventh level, and none of the eighth or ninth level.
Talismans of this level are really rare, and Xu Mu doesn't have any in stock.
In addition, there are various elixirs, spiritual stones, and formation tools.
After everything was sorted, Xu Mu opened the system and continued to improve. This time he improved his magical powers.
