After Favorability Is Maxed

164 The Puppet (2)

Chuichui retreated and used its tail to wrap around Liu Yuan, forming a defensive circle.

She looked around warily at the slowly approaching puppets.

The blades were sharp and the armor was thick. Under the light of the fire, one could see some dark red bloodstains, all of which were the last traces left by the skeletons on the ground.

Threads made of an unknown material extended from the stone walls and the eternal lamps. As if they were controlling puppets, they controlled the moving figures. The sound of the mechanism operating echoed throughout the entire space, changing unpredictably.

Liu Yuan looked at the approaching puppets and noticed that they had begun to consciously form a formation, and their postures were almost no different from humans.

Although the scene was a little unbelievable for an ordinary Tomb Raider, and it would be very difficult to deal with this array if it was their first time facing it, it was not difficult for Liu Yuan.

After all, he had seen this kind of group of monsters many times.

“Listen to my command. Chuichui, deal with the one on the left first. Zhiying, take the opportunity to shoot down the oil lamp.”

Liu Yuan commanded Chuichui and Zhiying in an orderly manner. Fortunately, these two were the type with rich combat experience. As long as he gave the command, they could automatically attack and complete it well. The feeling of having two godly teammates was too great. In turn, it made Liu Yuan recall the fear of being killed by a lousy teammate in a random match in a dungeon when he had nothing to do.

The most common things in the Martial Emperor’s Tomb instance dungeon were these various types of puppet monsters. Among these puppets, the lowest level was the ‘Wooden Figure’, and the highest level was still in the center of the tomb, placed near the Martial Emperor’s body. There were four mechanical beasts that were imitations of the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

In addition, there was a very strange NPC in the tomb.

It was an NPC that could communicate, not a monster.

It was a female puppet that wandered around the tomb all year round. She was either a maid or a butler. She was very concerned about the entire tomb, but she did not have any hostility toward players. She would only pop up from time to time and wander around the tomb to clean and tidy up.

For example, clean up the broken limbs of some puppets that had been dismantled by players and give a warm reminder to keep them clean.

It was worth mentioning that this female puppet could be conquered, but very few players would try to conquer it.

Perhaps it was because her behavior was too predictable and she basically did not speak, many players subconsciously thought that she was a low-level intelligence and could not be conquered at all.

Since a robot wouldn’t make a good collection in the CG album, most players did not bother conquering her.

However, as a conquering strategy maniac, conquering was a form of entertainment for Liu Yuan. Therefore, not only did he not let go of non-human beings, but he also did not let go of inanimate objects!

In fact, in terms of the results, Liu Yuan felt that he had made a huge profit.

He also received an intelligence fee.

He often sold the characters’ information that contained a lot of hidden storylines to the completionists in the forums.

They could be considered his regular customers.

From the description of the puppet NPC, it could be seen that the wife of Martial Emperor He Junhao was a puppeteer, which was a profession class that specialized in creating puppets with the art of machinery.

This class was also a hidden class, but it was very difficult to activate. Its combat power was quite impressive, but the main thing was that the puppeteer class was really too hardcore. It made you write code to create so-called ‘puppet dolls’. From the appearance to the behavior, you had to write everything yourself.

As a result, this class was as rare as Phoenix’s feathers in the game. It was almost impossible to find it, or rather, even if one found it, their skill level would not be very high.

After He Junhao’s death, the traps and the puppets in the tomb were all done by his wife. His wife’s remains were in his tomb. They had been through life and death together. They were truly a pair of true love.

The monsters in front of them were above average in the tomb dungeon.

At the very least, it was still a little difficult for Chuichui to deal with them. The puppets’ weapons were of excellent quality, and the strength of the dragon’s body was not enough for her to ignore them. She could only dodge. Fortunately, the dome above was high, and it was not narrow. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult.

With Liu Yuan, who was familiar with the dungeon, leading the team, coupled with the strength of Chuichui and Zhiying, the battle was settled in one encounter.

The ground was a mess. Other than the old and new corpses, there were also a few lifeless puppet parts.

“This stone wall is hollow inside.”

Liu Yuan walked forward and looked at one of the eternal lamps. The wall had already been restored, but a large hole had suddenly opened up. It was pitch black inside, and the mechanical puppets walked out.

“You want to open it and take a look, meow?” Chuichui was eager to try, her tail wagging.

“You’re a dragon now,” Liu Yuan couldn’t help but remind her. “Why are you meowing?”

Chuichui, “...”

Oh no, oh no, she had completely transformed into Liu Yuan’s plaything. She didn’t even sound dignified when she spoke.

The demon dragon suddenly felt a little depressed.

“Meow meow meow”

Liu Yuan patted Chuichui and smiled. “Open it. It wasn’t easy to clear the small monsters. You can’t just leave like that. ”

Although Chuichui did not really understand what he said, she roughly understood what he meant. The most important thing was that he said to open it.

The demon dragon’s tail swept violently, causing the wall to collapse and dust to scatter.

Inside the wall, there was a pile of materials that looked exactly the same as the mechanical puppets. However, they had not been activated yet, and it looked strangely terrifying.

“So it’s a storage area...”

Liu Yuan walked in and then stopped because the puppets suddenly opened their eyes.

Those puppets they fought before did not have any facial features, but the puppets here did. They were obviously of a higher level and more vivid and demonic, making people shudder.

In fact, there were even more of them.

But at the same time, Liu Yuan also saw a cauldron in the distance.

It was one of the Nine Cauldrons that maintained the formation.

“Chuichui, get ready to attack!” Liu Yuan was planning to break out of the encirclement. If he could break the formation of the Nine Cauldrons directly, these puppets would not be a threat. As long as he seized the opportunity, these seemingly terrifying puppets would not be a huge threat.

“Stop, that’s a guest.”

A faint chiding sound was heard, and all the shaking puppets stopped and closed their eyes again.

A petite figure in a light red dress appeared next to the bronze cauldron with a paper lantern in her hand.

In the dark, the dim light illuminated her delicate and fair face.

She was holding a lantern in one hand and a broom in the other. She was wearing an apron and looked like she was about to clean up.
