Xu Que was startled by the sight of the ancient armored puppets that were closing in. They were totally the smaller version of Iron Man!
No, that was not right. This group of ancient puppets were lower grade first generation versions of Iron Man, and looked ugly and crude!
More importantly, Xu Que also noticed the light emitting from the chests of these ancient armored puppets, which seemed to radiate fearful amounts of energy!
”Who made this thing? It's so ugly!” Xu Que couldn't resist the urge to complain about the appearance of the ancient puppets.
The Seventh Princess, the Third Prince and his team, on the other hand, seemed cautious and wore serious expressions.
The Third Prince took a small step forward. ”Young Hero Xu, these ancient armored puppets may be unattractive to the eye but they are able to execute powerful attacks from their chests. If a cultivator of the same stage were to be hit two or three times, they would probably die!”
”Exactly! Young Master Xu, you must be careful. We can't afford to be reckless here!” The Seventh Princess nodded in agreement.
Xu Que's brows furrowed in a frown. ”But they're really ugly! As a fan of Iron Man, I can't tolerate that!”
”Uh… let's go in first and find a favourable spot for Master Zhou, and help buy time for him as he creates high-grade weapons!”
The Third Prince could not understand the strange words that Xu Que had used. As he didn't want to waste more time, he had decided to change the topic.
However what he said was the right thing to do as well. It was imperative that they find a vantage spot, fast.
As soon as the other contending princes had entered, their own group had already headed to the corners of the first burial chamber inside the Imperial Tombs. That had been when the puppets had arrived!
The several teams were cooperating with tacit understanding, making a formation. One or two weapon forging masters were protected in the centre, with the other team members surrounding them!
The ones standing at the front of their formation were responsible for defending against the ancient armored puppets' attacks, whilst the weapon forging masters would race against time to quickly create strong magical weapons for their counterattack!
In no time, the passageway leading to the first burial chamber had become packed with the qualifying teams of cultivators, forming a line of defense!
Xu Que, along with the Third Prince and his group, were occupying a good spot next to the stone wall. Currently, there was no need to mount a defense against any attacks!
”Let's hope they can hold the attack longer,” said the Third Prince solemnly. ”Once there are casualties, we'll need to quickly fill up vacated spots, or else when the ancient armored puppets break the line of defense, death will be upon all of us!”
In this place, everybody had a role.
Everyone had to work together to resist the attacks of the ancient armored puppets. The weapon forging masters were their only hope!
Therefore, everyone worked together seamlessly. Some of the people had taken initiative by forming the first line of defense. If broken, the people behind would have to quickly fill up the gap. No one could shy away from their roles!
However, Xu Que was an exception.
That guy had been sulking ever since he had first seen the ancient armored puppets!
He had been thinking of exterminating these puppets the moment he set eyes on them!
Perhaps… maybe a real Iron Man would work!
”Looks like I need to do something!” Xu Que laughed. He prepared to call out the interface of the System Store to exchange for the Iron Man so he could act tough!
The princes beside him heard what he said and were taken aback!
”Young Hero Xu, don't be reckless!”
”These ancient armored puppets are practically immune against attacks! Our attacks can only stop them temporarily, only magical weapons can break them!”
”Yes, and if you use a really powerful attack on them, it might even cause a terrible counter effect and the puppets might become even stronger!” the princes hurriedly advised Xu Que.
”I know that I can't use my attacks,” Xu Que said as he gave a laugh. ”So I've decided to make a magical weapon that can specially counteract these ancient armored puppets!”
”Huh?”
The few of them were confused.
You want to create weapons again?
Don't do that, brother!
You are only a one-star weapon forging master. You can't be of much help!
