Chapter 132 Puppet
Every puppet has the vitality of a living person, but this vitality is obviously chaotic and not carried by itself, as if it was forcibly injected into it.
So, they have normal faces and bodies, but look stiff, with pale complexions, as if poisoned, just like the zombies in the storyteller's tale.
It's just that there are no sharp fangs in their mouths!
The young man really didn't think that these tombs would hide such a guy inside, and the Akis buried here, what do they want to do after all? Are they going to take control of these puppets?
One by one, the puppets, although they have a vital energy, do not have the breath of living people. Therefore, young people also cannot sense from these puppets whether or not they will possess the same cultivation as those who cultivate Xuan Qi.
But since the Akis have set an ambush here, they must have their reasons.
So, young people don't rush, still quietly waiting.
The round moonlight, as if it were the food of these puppets, was the nourishment that sustained their survival. Each and every one of them absorbed it greedily, tirelessly, without any intention of stopping.
Time slipped away like sand between fingers as the puppets moved in this way, and before long, dawn was approaching, the full moon slowly disappearing.
At this time, a puppet that had been maintaining the same posture for an entire night finally moved.
They reluctantly lowered their heads, then turned around in unison and headed back towards the tomb, as if wanting to crawl back inside.
"Let's get started!"
At this moment, the Akatsuki members who had been hiding and waiting for a night, rushed out from their locations. They didn't intend to leave all the puppets behind, but instead divided into three groups of dozens of people each, and separately pounced on the three nearest puppets!
"Hum! Hum! Hum!"
When the autumn family just appeared, there were three strange fluctuations, which emerged from the three puppet bodies. Immediately, the young man clearly saw that a humanized spirit appeared in the lifeless pupils of the three puppets.
As for the other puppets that were not attacked, they seemed to have not discovered the Akane family and continued to slowly crawl into the tomb in an orderly manner.
When they entered the tomb, the tombstone closed automatically, and the seal outside the tomb also returned to its original state, just like when the young man first discovered it.
It's really strange... This scene made young people feel very curious and shocked!
On the other hand, a barrier protected a tomb, and in the tomb, it was actually buried with a group of puppets. These puppets seemed to possess spirituality as well, knowing how to absorb the essence of the sun and moon to survive.
Everything is so unexpected! Even in a world full of mysteries and wonders, this scene still shocked the young man.
The young man couldn't help but ask: "Knife Spirit, what's your opinion?"
"In his body, the Knife Spirit seemed to have let out a long sigh. He said in a low voice: 'Master, in my current memory, it seems that there was once an existence of this kind, but I really can't remember it anymore...'"
"Rumble!"
Dozens of attacks, perfectly synchronized bombardments landed on the puppet's body. Although only a few of these people were high-ranking masters at the initial stage of Xuanjing, and the rest were still in the later stages of their training, the numerous forces combined would be enough to make even a peak master of the middle stage of Xuanjing dare not withstand it head-on. However, the puppet that was bombarded did not show any signs of shattering, but instead emitted a fierce aura.
"No wonder the people of the Autumn House didn't attack all the puppets." The young man muttered to himself.
After the fierce and menacing aura, a wave-like fluctuation swept across rapidly, and in an instant, that puppet which was originally listless became extremely agile.
The puppet's body moved, and it truly transformed into a ghost, appearing in front of one person like lightning. A punch was thrown out, and this autumn family member, even with full force defense, was still smashed by this punch, crashing through several large trees before heavily falling to the ground. Looking at his breath, apparently, he's dead for sure.
The mighty blows of many people rained down on the puppet, but they would not cause any harm to it. On the other hand, every punch from the puppet was sure to take a life away. This scene was not like the Qiu family trying to capture the puppet, but rather the puppet was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, carrying out a ruthless massacre.
One after another mournful and piercing cries echoed incessantly, this empty space was instantly covered with a strong bloody smell!
It's true that the people of the Autumn House aren't afraid to die, but puppets are even less afraid of death and pain. The three puppets were like tools for killing people. After just a few short minutes, nearly one-third of the Autumn House members had been killed.
The people of the autumn family were clearly well-prepared, and in the face of such slaughter, not a single person's face showed fear or panic. Instead, each person's face still carried an extremely ferocious expression. No matter how fierce the puppets' attack was, it never stopped.
If the puppet is really indestructible and invulnerable, then what the Qiu family did would be pointless. But they continued to do so, which means they have found a weakness in the puppet. Now, continuing like this is just using their own lives to force out the puppet's weakness.
Upon seeing this, the young man couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. Autumn Shock was indeed a hero, and these people under him, who clearly knew they were going to their deaths, yet never retreated - such tactics were truly admirable!
If there's a chance, young people really want to learn from Qiu Zhen about this method of leading troops at home. If they can train an army that is willing to die for the cause, their combat effectiveness will be unimaginable!
But for personal gain, he disregarded the lives of his subordinates. That Qiū Zhèn was just a hero of the jianghu!
The great war was still in the past, and time was passing by. Before long, the first ray of sunlight slowly appeared on the distant horizon, then traversed through the vast space, shining down onto the earth in this forest.
"Hah!"
Sunlight poured in, although it hadn't fallen on the puppets yet, but the three puppets let out a shrill cry from their mouths. A hint of fear also flashed across their pupils, which had been humanized.
Are they afraid of sunlight?
The young man was stunned for a moment, with a few seconds of loss of smile. This autumn shock, it seems that it has been planned for a long time and has also figured out these puppets.
In a flurry of activity, the three puppets' offensive became even more ferocious, their movements flashing by with increased speed, killing the Autumn family members as easily as smashing watermelons.
However, those who had not died yet, such as Akito and others, formed a thick wall with their bodies in front of the three graves, desperately trying to intercept the puppets' return to their nest!
However, their strength poses no more than half a threat to the puppet. The city wall is thick but not strong, and it will be broken sooner or later. If the Qiu family doesn't send stronger masters, even though they delayed the puppet's return to its nest, they only delayed time.
Young people believe that outside the nearby area, there must be a true master of the Qiu family waiting for an opportunity to strike, and even Qiu Zhen is nearby. The reason they haven't made a move yet is not because they're afraid, but because they're waiting for the best moment.
As the sunlight grew stronger, the mournful cries from the mouths of the three puppets became even more heart-wrenching. They struck out with unparalleled speed and ruthlessness.
When the first ray of sunlight shines on one of the puppets, a puff of white smoke appears instantly.
Contrary to the young man's expectations, the white smoke enveloped the puppet, which was not injured at all. It still showed its usual bravery and ferocity, and its strength did not weaken in the slightest. It seemed that sunlight was not their weakness.
"What?"
The young man was puzzled, since the sunshine wouldn't pose any threat to the puppet, why did the Autumn family do this? It couldn't be that they thought there were too many people in the house and wanted to reduce the burden by doing it this way.
