567 Energy System (2/2)
However, such a puppet monster was obviously not as complete or as strong as it had been when first created. Most of its features had already lost their function after so many years of corrosion. For example, the abilities to defend and block an immortal cultivator's soul probe would definitely have been lost long ago.
A normal puppet monster could defend against a cultivator's soul search and hide its internal structure as well as its energy system network. However, this puppet monster did not have that ability.
If it had just been facing an average practitioner, it would make no difference whether this puppet monster had the ability or not because most practitioners generally did not understand puppet monsters and did not have the ability to project their souls. They would not be able to find out the internal structure of the puppet monster.
That was why a puppet monster like this was enough to fight against a few practitioners.
But Mo Wen was different. He was a practitioner who could project his soul. If it did not have the ability to defend against soul probes, then Mo Wen could directly view the internal structure of the puppet monster and find where its energy system was hidden.
Indeed, Mo Wen scanned the rat-shaped puppet monster with his soul and will. There was no hindrance and he immediately found where the puppet monster's energy system was.
He flicked his wrist and a spiritual stone appeared in Mo Wen's hand. Then, it disappeared swiftly, turning into spiritual power and entering the Green Primordial Mirror.
The next moment, the Green Primordial Mirror shone and a ray of green and black light shot into the rat-shaped puppet monster that had been tossed into the air. It froze the puppet monster in mid-air.
At the same time, Mo Wen's figure shimmered and he immediately appeared beside the puppet monster. He punched the monster forcefully where the energy system was.
Crash!
The sound of metal crashing rang through the garden. Yet, such a heavy blow only caused sparks to appear on the puppet monster's body.
The metal that glinted coldly was not even dented after withstanding such a huge blow.
The corners of Mo Wen's mouth twitched. The metal armor was still so strong after so many years. The materials that had gone into making these puppets back then were definitely not basic.
Growl! The puppet monster struggled madly in the pillar of green and black light. The stronger the force it exerted, the more the light from the Green Primordial Mirror dispersed. It seemed that it would not hold for long.
Mo Wen hummed lightly. Then, he flicked his wrist and the flying dagger spiritual weapon appeared in his hand again. He tossed it in front of him and it turned into a ray of black light. It immediately collided with where the rat-shaped puppet monster's energy system was hidden.
Clink! There was a clear sound of metal colliding. The flying dagger spiritual weapon had both a good track record and stunning power. Now though, it rebounded. A faint scratch appeared on the rat-shaped puppet monster's armor.
”Pervert!” Mo Wen scolded in his heart. He was aware of the sharpness and strength of the flying dagger spiritual weapon. Even the spiritual weapon could not break open the armor. What was the armor made of?
Mo Wen took a deep breath. He removed two spiritual stones from the medicine spiritual ring in one go and clutched them tightly in his hand, turning them into spiritual power. In just a moment, the two spiritual stones were completely transformed into spiritual power. The speed of the transformation was so fast that even practitioners at the peak of the Golden Elixir realm would have been shocked.
He imbued all the spiritual power into the flying dagger spiritual weapon. The flying dagger's shine increased greatly. The dark rays of light enveloped the entire pool.
Whoosh! The dark light dimmed and the spiritual dagger turned into a black line and pierced into the rat-shaped puppet monster swiftly.
Hiss! A small hole appeared in the armor of the rat-shaped puppet monster. A dark flying dagger had pierced an inch down and then was stuck in the puppet's body, unable to move another inch.
Such an impact could only leave an inch-deep hole on the rat-shaped puppet monster. The defensive ability of the rat-shaped puppet monster was really quite scary.
Luckily, the energy system was not hidden deeply. An inch was sufficient to damage it a little, causing the energy supply to halt completely. The rat-shaped puppet monster that was trapped in mid-air stopped struggling immediately. It was suspended in the green and black pillar of light like a dead object.
Mo Wen heaved a deep sigh of relief. There was a bit of sweat on his forehead. He was a little tired from activating two spiritual stones in one attack. If he could not damage the rat-shaped puppet monster like this, then he seemed to have no other choice than to use his special treasures.
Crash! Mo Wen waved his hand and the Green Primordial Mirror that was suspended in mid-air immediately flew back to him. Having lost the binding of the green and black light pillar, the rat-shaped puppet monster immediately fell down from mid-air and smashed onto the ground viciously like a pile of waste metal.
Not far away, Jin Ying looked in the direction of Mo Wen in surprise. Mo Wen had been losing earlier, how was it that he had gotten rid of the rat-shaped puppet monster in the blink of an eye! Even though she had not fought puppet monsters before, from seeing how Yin Banshuang was dealing with the monkey-shaped puppet monster, she could tell that these puppet monsters were not easy to defeat.
Indeed, Yin Banshuang had been on the losing end since she started fighting with the monkey-shaped puppet monster. It was not that the puppet monster was very strong, but its defensive abilities were too good. It was not damaged no matter how Yin Banshuang attacked. One could imagine how annoying it was to face an indomitable enemy.
