Chapter 2049 - 1551: The Puppet Person's Bizarre Transformation!

The second update, requesting subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~...

This was what Qin Fang encountered, who himself was invulnerable to poison, not afraid of the floral poison of the Godslayer Grass, nor fearing the lethal poison of the Heartrot Worm.

He even had the Godslaying Worm in hand, and the Heartrot Worm feared Qin Fang more than anything…

Although he didn't plan on forging the Hundred Herbs Elixir, Qin Fang didn't skip a single branch of the Godslayer Grass; he collected them all and threw them into his Props Box as a backup.

The Hundred Herbs Elixir is just one application of the Godslayer Grass; it has other medicinal uses, although not as famous and domineering as the Hundred Herbs Elixir.

Moreover, the Godslayer Grass is extremely toxic, and using it to deal with adversaries in necessary situations can be quite terrifying…

Qin Fang even fantasized about wielding the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword, sharp enough to cut through iron like mud, and coating it with the plant juice of the Godslayer Grass, then facing a Great Grandmaster Level Expert, Qin Fang might not be powerless to battle!

The Godslayer Grass is too dominant; if a Great Grandmaster Level Expert gets poisoned, even trying to suppress the poison with True Qi would be impossible…

Unless decisively making a decision to cut off the poisoned area to prevent further spread of the toxin, perhaps there would be a sliver of hope… Otherwise, certain death!

"Finally, all sorted out…"

After quite some time and effort, Qin Fang managed to gather all the Godslayer Grass; meanwhile, he was also searching to see if he could find another Snow Bodhi.

Unfortunately, the rarity of Snow Bodhi surpasses that of both Godslayer Grass and Godslaying Worms; finding one by chance was already a heaven-defying stroke of luck for Qin Fang and finding another is nothing short of a fantasy.

Not finding it is normal; if he did find another, Qin Fang might even suspect he had connections with Lady Luck herself…

"Time to retreat…"

With all the Godslayer Grass collected, Qin Fang's goal was basically achieved; this was a dead-end, and it was time to leave.

"Oh right, these Heartrot Worms…"

However, just as Qin Fang turned around, he remembered a large group of Heartrot Worms gathered here, and a wicked smile flashed across his face.

"You dared to have thoughts against me earlier…"

Clearly, Qin Fang intended to play some tricks on these poor Heartrot Worms.

As soon as the Godslayer Worm Queen disappeared, these Heartrot Worms became restless, and once they got agitated, Qin Fang, as an outsider, was surely the one to suffer.

Don't blame Qin Fang for being petty; thinking he might end up with a "pockmarked face" justified him in taking malicious actions against these Heartrot Worms.

With a Godslaying Worm still in hand, Qin Fang gradually approached the Heartrot Worm clan… Feeling slightly apprehensive himself.

Just as a rabbit will bite and a dog will jump over a wall when desperate, if truly cornered, these Heartrot Worms might rebel.

But it turned out Qin Fang's worries were unnecessary…

When Qin Fang approached, sensing the proximity of the Godslaying Worm, the Heartrot Worms froze against the rock wall, not daring to move, even trembling without making a single extra motion.

Seeing this scene, Qin Fang's heart relaxed slightly, then he extended a hand and pinched a Heartrot Worm…

Just like before, this Heartrot Worm dared not resist at all, allowing Qin Fang to pinch its body obediently, even when he stabbed it with a needle, it didn't resist unto death.

Witnessing such a scene firsthand, Qin Fang felt slightly strange but didn't pay much attention.

Qin Fang even repeatedly followed suit, grabbing one after another Heartrot Worm from the rock wall, then used silver needles to stab them to death, throwing them into the Props Box as his spoils.

At such a moment, Qin Fang showed no mercy; while rare, Heartrot Worms are a harmful poison, contributing nothing to humanity. Even exterminating them, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.

"The restraint of natural enemies is truly frightening…"

Until Qin Fang had slain all the Heartrot Worms on this patch of rock wall, with a Props Box filled to the brim, he stopped.

Now, he didn't plan on pursuing extermination entirely, only muttering a touch emotionally…

Without the aid of these four Godslaying Worms, just relying on himself, he could still eliminate them all, but Qin Fang would end up with a "giant pockmarked face."

"Things are pretty good now… The goal is achieved without any real losses!"

Now, Qin Fang was, indeed, the victor; he hadn't become pockmarked, nor suffered any power depletion, yet he obtained hundreds of Heartrot Worm corpses…

Not bothering with the few remaining Heartrot Worms, Qin Fang began heading back, as by now, Beastman and Puppet person's battle had concluded…

And indeed, as Qin Fang approached within about ten meters, that side was eerily silent, without a single sound, as if completely devoid of life.

But Qin Fang had already discovered on the mini-map that the puppet person was still there... As for the beastman, it had already disappeared from the mini-map.

This disappearance either means it has completely died and lost its life essence, or it escaped from the puppet person's grasp...

However, Qin Fang leaned more towards the former... Being injured like that by the puppet person and having its blood drained, it was almost impossible to have any chance of escape!

This was a personal experience of Qin Fang, not a baseless wild guess...

"What's wrong with it?"

However, as Qin Fang gradually approached the puppet person, he suddenly felt something strange, vaguely sensing some slight changes in the puppet person.

"Maybe I'm just overthinking it?"

But when he actually reached the puppet person's side, he found that it was still the same as before, with no changes, standing there like a statue.

The beastman had already reverted to its previous human form and had turned into a cold corpse... But the way it died looked too miserable, as if it had been drained of blood and turned into a dried corpse, which was rather creepy to look at.

Qin Fang couldn't help but speculate in his heart whether a gentle blow from him would make its body turn into powder flying all over the sky?

Fortunately, Qin Fang didn't have such a fetish, and he wouldn't actually do such a thing... He just very mechanically put the puppet person back into his Props Box, ready to leave this place and continue his maze exploration.

"Huh?"

But to Qin Fang's surprise, the puppet person did not go into his Props Box as expected, but remained outside.

The puppet person stood there motionlessly, still looking like a dead object, but not responding to Qin Fang's summons, which was very strange.

"What's going on here?"

This scene was really too strange, even Qin Fang did not anticipate it, and his face was full of surprise.

Having gone through so many things, Qin Fang thought his nerves had become quite tough, and there was little that could make him feel overwhelmed.

But this puppet person in front of him suddenly gave Qin Fang an incomprehensible feeling... It even instinctively made Qin Fang feel a trace of danger!

Almost upon sensing this danger, Qin Fang subconsciously took half a step back, and at the same time, the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword immediately appeared in his hand.

Although Qin Fang knew very well that if this puppet person truly meant harm, the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword couldn't stop it either...

The material of the puppet person was too special, perhaps other than the Ten Great Divine Weapons, no other divine sword could harm it.

Even the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword in Qin Fang's hands was no exception, at most leaving some slight scratches on it, but destroying it... that was absolutely impossible.

However, what Qin Fang expected did not happen. Although the puppet person still did not make any moves, and the dangerous feeling was just as clear, it did not attack Qin Fang, not even moving an inch.

"What exactly is going on?"

Qin Fang felt even stranger, looking at the puppet person with a puzzled expression, while continuously using his Scouting Skill to try to uncover the truth.

Unfortunately, the result returned by Qin Fang's Grandmaster-level Scouting Skill was just a bunch of "????", all question marks...

This made Qin Fang even more clueless about what was happening. In all these years, this was the first time such a thing occurred.

The Scouting Skill failing to produce a result had happened several times before, but when it couldn't view something, it was usually marked as a level too low.

But ever since Qin Fang had pushed his Scouting Skill proficiency to the Grandmaster level, there was hardly anything that could be hidden from him.

But now, the reality was quite a blow, with the situation of this puppet person being quite beyond Qin Fang's ability to handle, and even the Scouting Skill couldn't detect anything.

"It seems... seems like there's a bit of life essence?"

However, when Qin Fang carefully examined this puppet person, he suddenly discovered something incredible,

That is, this puppet person, made from a certain meteoric iron, surprisingly had a trace of life essence, which was truly unbelievable.

"Huh, how did it disappear again?"

But before Qin Fang could feel excited or worried about this discovery, the puppet person returned to its previous state, and even that sense of danger disappeared at any moment.

"Come back!"

This discovery also left Qin Fang quite perplexed, and almost instinctively, Qin Fang immediately summoned the puppet person.

"It actually came back..."

Thinking that this attempt would also fail, unexpectedly, this time it succeeded, and the puppet person disappeared from in front of him, obediently returned to Qin Fang's Props Box...(to be continued.
