Chapter 328: Field Investigation into the Customs and Culture of the Departed Courtyard - Part 9

Just when Lin Zhenxi felt that he should give more support to the team of puppet soldiers, the puppet soldiers also adopted a new action strategy.

They began to retreat, returning to the cloud-covered staircase they had come from.

Because the puppet soldiers' formation shrank, all the monsters were piled up in front of them and crowded near the entrance of this floor, with extremely high density.

Judging from the situation, it seems that the puppet soldiers are planning to use their ultimate moves to clear the field.

Lin Zhenxi's idea was not wrong. After seeing that the monsters had almost gathered, the puppet soldiers only left the front row to block the stairs to deal with the rushing skeletons. The rest all flew up, forming a concave surface with a very obvious arc above the stairs, just like a magnifying glass.

Immediately afterwards, the sun power in all the puppet soldiers began to boil.

Once again, a spectacular volley of sunlight lasers appeared, and this time, all the beams converged on a single point in front of them. The immense power of the sun converged at this single point, colliding with each other before scattering forward.

All enemies that come into contact with the laser beam will be burned, purified, and turned into ashes by the scorching power of the sun.

After this round of focused shooting, a huge landslide appeared directly in front of the puppet soldiers. A large piece of land in this layer was directly cut off, and the tree monsters and straw skeletons in front of them all disappeared from the world, without even a trace of their existence.

No matter how many times you see it, the puppet soldiers' sunlight lasers are always so stunning, entertaining, and so cool to watch.

However, this time, the puppet soldiers primarily targeted the enemies in front of them. Because of the scattered fire, some scattered enemies in the distance escaped being hit, rather than being wiped out in one volley like before. However, this didn't matter, as the remaining three or two enemies weren't a problem at all. The puppet soldiers pushed forward, crushing the remaining enemies into pieces and pressing them into the ground.

After clearing out the enemies on this level, the puppet soldiers came to the opposite side of this platform, stepped onto the stairs in the clouds that appeared again, and continued to walk upwards.

This has a ceiling, how many floors does it have?

The puppet soldiers went up one level and came to a platform covered with white mist.

Then, the wind seemed to pick up.

The white mist that filled the entire level began to flow horizontally like laminar fog under the sudden appearance and sudden increase of strong winds, and rushed towards the puppet soldiers like a row of huge waves.

Fortunately, these fogs are not bad things. They are just simple white fogs that will disappear once they dissipate.

But the thing hidden behind the white mist made Lin Zhenxi gasp.

First of all, the area of ​​this floor is very large and extremely empty. It feels like a huge square. You can see the boundary at a glance, but the distance is very far.

In the center of the square was a huge round stone sunk deep into the ground. Wrapped around the stone was a rope made of straw, from which hung a white zigzag-shaped imperial coin.

Under the stone, there was a snake or earthworm-like creature that Lin Zhenxi couldn't even tell how long it was. Its body pointed high into the sky, extending all the way into the darkness of the sky. Lin Zhenxi couldn't even see where its head was, only a straight, slender body.

This section of the body quickly began to move, no longer straight, but curving. As it changed its posture, a gaping, bloody mouth appeared. Inside, rows of teeth resembling those of a human stretched from the lips to the dark, hollow throat. Lin Zhenxi couldn't see beyond that.

When they got closer, the flames from the puppet soldiers finally illuminated the face of the huge monster, and Lin Zhenxi could see clearly what kind of monster it was.

Uh… an earthworm with a catfish face? More accurately, a giant salamander with an earthworm body?

When Lin Zhenxi first saw the whiskers on either side of the monster's face, she thought it was a catfish. Then, from the darkness, the monster extended an arm. Like the giant snake with a human face in Old Hell, the earthworm salamander's arm was black and thin, shriveled and almost bone-covered. And in its hand, the monster also held a weapon.

But it seemed to have only one arm? Lin Zhenxi looked at the monster and began to wave its weapon like dancing, thinking about some insignificant things.

The weapon in this monster's hand is also very strange. Although it looks like a sword, there are three branches on each side of the sword, and the shape is very special.

As the giant monster began to swing its knife wildly, its body twisting, a violent wind swept across the platform. A massive wave, composed entirely of wind, rapidly pushed towards the puppets.

The puppets flew up, avoiding the storm that had turned into a giant wind blade because of its excessive density.

Seeing its attack had no effect, the giant monster, resembling an earthworm, a catfish, and a pair of arms, began to twist even more frantically. As it twisted, the air around the platform vibrated violently, hurling out long, thick wind blades one after another. Meanwhile, thunderclouds began to gather above it, and red lightning flashed within them, gathering strength.

However, Lin Zhenxi discovered that this monster had a serious problem. Although its attacks were powerful, every time it wanted to launch an attack, it had to twist and turn in the air like dancing for a long time before it could release a shot.

With this time, the puppet soldiers have plenty of time to adjust their positions and prepare for the next impact of the storm.

So, this guy only looks scary, and its wind blade slash is actually quite easy to dodge.

But the thundercloud above this guy wasn't quite right either; it looked like it had some tricks it hadn't yet figured out. The puppet soldiers were dawdling on the edge of the platform, refusing to attack, perhaps waiting for the thunderstorm to fully erupt.

Basically, if the power of the thundercloud is not strong enough and cannot cause any effective damage to the puppet soldiers, then the death star of this big earthworm will light up the moment the thundercloud erupts.

With Lin Zhenxi's waiting and the indulgence of the puppet soldiers, the big earthworm finally prepared its ultimate move.

The red lightning in the thundercloud could no longer be hidden, and began to crackle and fall towards the ground, hitting the area around the big earthworm and leaving scorch marks on the big rock that was pressing on the earthworm's body.

The giant earthworm thrust its strangely shaped sword directly into the thunderstorm, which was already filled with lightning power, stirring it wildly. Along with the flash of lightning, the sword in the giant earthworm's hand was like a tangled stick, covered with red lightning, and directly transformed into a red lightning pillar.

Holding this lightning sword seemed to be a huge burden for the big earthworm. Its whole body began to be corroded by the red lightning, and its skin began to turn black and crack. The red lightning poured out from those wounds, covering its body with a thick layer.

The giant earthworm raised the lightning sword high in its hand, and once again stretched its body straight and erected it high. This time, because its entire body was wrapped in red lightning, even in the extreme darkness, Lin Zhenxi could clearly see the position of its head.

It’s so tall, this thing must be several hundred meters long, right?

As the giant earthworm prepared to unleash its ultimate attack, the puppet army finally made a new move. They gathered together, the solar power within them boiling once again, and they connected together, forming a single entity.

At this moment, they seemed like a dazzling sun.

In the next second, the giant earthworm, its head held high in the sky, swung its greatsword, now fully unleashed and transformed into a red thunderstorm, and slammed it down heavily towards the ground. The puppet army, not to be outdone, charged fearlessly towards the giant earthworm, their dazzling light and long tails of light brimming with energy.

The two huge energies collided fiercely, and Lin Zhenxi's eyes went blank in an instant. The Eye of Truth rune she left on the puppet soldier's clothes had been destroyed by the energy impact that erupted when the two sides collided.

Ah, this is really powerful! The puppet soldiers are really stubborn. They have to wait for the opponent to use his ultimate move before going head-on with him. Although I helped Lin Zhenxi collect a lot of valuable information, it seems that this team of puppet soldiers is probably in danger.

At this moment, a prompt suddenly popped up in the light ball next to Lin Zhenxi, telling Lin Zhenxi that her army had occupied the hidden ruins "Heaven" and obtained the enhanced state "Scarlet Sword".

Aren't the heavens and the "Dingtian" the same place? Could it be that "Dingtian" means touching the top of the sky, and is the world right next to the heavens and directly below them?

Those who live in the sky are celestial beings, so what are the beings who live in the celestial realm?

The ecology of the Death Courtyard is really interesting.

The amount of unnecessary knowledge has increased.

Lin Zhenxi turned around to check this new attribute——

"Crimson Sword: Grants the soldier the ability to manipulate red lightning. After converting magic power into lightning, it can easily penetrate the opponent's weaknesses. While the red lightning is active, the soldier gains a dominant state, unable to be knocked down or repelled."

Defense breaking and dominance, the attributes of this hidden ruins are also great.

Moreover, with the nuclear fusion furnace, the puppet soldiers' magic power was already in a serious surplus and could not be used up at all. Now with the red lightning as a new channel for using magic power, the puppet soldiers' strength will only become stronger, without losing one while focusing on another, which would weaken the strength of their solar power.
