566 Puppet Monster (1/2)
”Lady Jin Ying, it is still too early to say this,” Mo Wen said, looking at Jin Ying with a faint smile as his eyes flashed. ”We can discuss later how we will distribute the Vital Qi. After all, although the Vital Qi mass is before our very eyes, whether or not we can get it is hard to say. You can't think that such a precious thing can just be taken like that, right?”
He was not angry. In times like this, having an extra person was not necessarily a bad thing. With the strength of at least three people, the success rate of obtaining the Vital Qi improved greatly. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
Although he did not walk up to the pool, he could sense that a shocking killing spirit permeated its surroundings. Everywhere was dangerous.
Yin Banshuang raised her eyebrows slightly. She looked at Mo Wen, then looked at Jin Ying. Then she fell silent, silently agreeing with Mo Wen's suggestion. At this moment, being enemies with Jin Ying indeed did not bring any benefits. Instead, it could delay their chance to obtain Vital Qi. Indeed, the strength of an extra person could make things easier.
As for after they obtained the mass of Vital Qi and how they would distribute it, whether they would backstab each other or negotiate was a matter for later. Right now, they could not consider these things at all.
”Both of you seem to understand the bigger picture. Okay, if both of you have no objections, I will also not object to working with you both for a while,” Jin Ying said as she nodded her head and curled the corner of her mouth. She naturally understood the same logic and would not make a foolish decision.
”There are three Puppet Monsters in the pool. Each one of them has cultivation no less than that of the Golden Elixir realm. Do we each take one?” Yin Banshuang said expressionlessly.
After she said this, she ignored the others and stepped towards the pool first. In an instant, she had walked to the center of the pool. Out of the three of them, she knew the place so she knew what would happen next.
As she had expected, after she entered a certain area of the pool, an astonishing roar suddenly sounded from inside it. It seemed as though an ancient piece of machinery had awakened, releasing an ear-piercing sound of grinding metal.
Rumble! In the huge pool, a roar sounded. A huge hand extended out from the ground at the bottom of the pool. The hand was the size of a stone grinding disc and looked like the claw of a monstrous beast. But it was made of an unknown metal that was completely black with a cold metallic luster.
The large hand had barely appeared when it furiously swung towards Yin Banshuang. The huge hand cast a shadow that was tens of feet long on the ground.
Yin Banshuang seemed to have been prepared. She dodged the attack with a flash. The huge metallic claw swatted a hole that was a few meters deep into the ground.
Rumble! Rattling sounded from the dried up ground at the bottom of the pool. Then, a huge figure crawled out from the ground, turning over the soil layers. The scent of earth grew thicker. The thing that had been hidden under the ground was completely revealed as it came into the light.
It looked like a monstrous beast with an ape-like appearance, but it was not a monstrous beast. The huge fellow was completely black, its entire body made of ice-cold metal. It was no different from the Transformers on television in the main space.
”Puppet Monster.” Mo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly. He naturally knew about Puppet Monsters. In the Immortal Cultivation world, although puppet mastery was very uncommon, powerful puppets were very frightening things. He had heard rumors before that powerful puppets had extremely powerful abilities. They could kill Supreme Profundity realm immortal cultivators and even those of higher realms.
Among immortal cultivators, only those proficient with stratagem techniques and gimmick techniques could manufacture puppets.
