Chapter 603: Fire Wolf, Sever
“Damn it.”
“Why are there so many of them? They are all Moksha Realm beast puppets.”
The people from Wind Assault Tower all had rather unpleasant expressions. As they expected, the mechanism was a trap, and it was not of average difficulty either.
In the blink of an eye, the players who had entered to watch the fun became the first batch of prey for the large group of beast puppets.
Happy and the others watched indifferently as the twenty or so people were surrounded by the beast puppets and were either torn to shreds in the air or were overrun by the hoard. Some were even slammed down to the ground by the beast puppets who had jumped high above them.
The twenty or so people instantly suffered the consequence of following a group of people into a place where they did not know what was going to happen. It was a disaster caused by curiosity.
“They’re all Moksha Realm beast puppets… They won’t be easy to deal with.”
Silver Wolf remembered that when he was in the royal mausoleum, it took awhile to win against the puppet generals, and they were just at the peak of Life and Death Realm.
Right then though, they had run into beast puppets who were much more agile and made of sturdier material. And by the looks of it, there were more than a hundred of them. Their group of six would be exhausted just by trying to fight against them.
Wind Chimes already had her Six-stringed Demonic Zither in hand, and she calmly threw a sound blade at the closest beast puppet. When it crashed into the puppet’s body, there was no effect whatsoever, and her expression instantly changed.
“Their defense is nearly at Inaction Realm.”
Phantasmal Shadow said nothing. She had been paying attention to Happy and his party’s reaction. When she saw that even Silver Wolf and Wind Chimes found that the puppets were bothersome, she quirked her eyebrows and groaned inwardly.
There was no way she could not tell just how powerful the beast puppets were. However, it was true that she did not expect that there would be such traps. The most dangerous scenario she had imagined had just been a few Inaction Realm elites appearing, but there was Happy, Silver Wolf, and the others around. Along with the people from Wind Assault Tower, it would not be hard for them to get through that. But who could have guessed that they would instead be faced with beast puppets that were even harder to deal with than a group of Inaction Realm martial artists.
Happy said nothing. He had remained silent for a long time while ignoring the group of unfamiliar players who were in extreme misery. He just kept staring at the Recondite Steel Gate to the right with burning eyes.
Clang!
As if in answer to his call, the stone doors stopped coughing up beast puppets, and the Recondite Steel Gate rose up slowly with dull but loud bangs.
Phantasmal Shadow and her party quickly noticed that and were delighted. “The entrance to Sky Demon Secret Cave has opened!”
But right when they said those words, they noticed a solemn expression appear on Happy’s face, even though it had been calm and indifferent before. They quickly stopped talking and cast their eyes in the direction of the Recondite Steel Gate once more.
Thud!
The floor of the front hall of Sky Demon Sect trembled slightly, and dust rose into the air.
“What the heck is this?”
Everyone’s gazes were attracted in that direction.
At that moment, another dull thud rose and rang through the hall. The floor trembled slightly as if something heavy had drawn even nearer.
Happy frowned. He could sense that everyone’s emotions had become solemn and tense as the sounds drew closer, so he immediately said, “Careful. The people over there will not last for much longer. Prepare for battle.”
As he spoke, the players who were lured into the hall because of their curiosity were finally unable to last against the crazed ambush from the beast puppets. Their body fortifications were torn, and they were all forced to a corner where they died.
However, there was no one who would delight in their misery at that moment.
The deaths of those people meant that the beast puppets’ attention would turn to the altar.
The mysterious heavy footsteps were also heading toward their direction from the large Recondite Steel Gate, and soon, half of a huge beast puppet’s head came out of the Recondite Steel Gate in a terrifying manner. Its large mouth was filled with fire while it stared in their direction with great hostility. The temperature in the entire hall instantly rose by a lot.
The only thing worth rejoicing was that the huge beast puppet did not seem to be able to come out. It stopped at the Recondite Steel Gate, guarding Sky Demon Secret Cave.
Silence fell among the two groups.
“Big Brother Medicinal Stone, Momo, Silver Wolf go and search for the weak joints in those beast puppets. Little North, you’re in charge of providing assistance.”
After saying that, Happy expressionlessly went to face the countless beast puppets who came charging at them with an aggressive presence. He resolutely activated Golden Bell Cocoon and pounced onto the beast puppets.
Phantasmal Shadow and her party were stunned speechless.
Happy moved like a small boat in a raging sea. He swayed about while countless waves struck at him. He avoided the lightning fast claws and fangs and miraculously remained unharmed.
He moved forward quickly, and his body movements, which were so dexterous that he was at the top among the players, and his judgment of his surroundings were both astonishing.
Phantasmal Shadow’s group stared at Happy’s back for a long time while he left into the distance. Even when he was completely submerged in the rising and falling beast puppet sea, they could not look away.
“I finally understand why Zhou Yu lost to him and why even One Emperor believes that he is the most worthy opponent.”
Wu Kuo was beside Phantasmal Shadow to protect her while they rushed at the beast puppet closest to them. They just sent them flying away, since that was all they could do. If they focused their full strength to handle one beast puppet, they would inevitably be taken advantage of by other beast puppets. Aside from Happy, there was no one in the cave who could get rid of any beast puppets within a short period of time.
That included Silver Wolf and the others. They were all gathered together, and with extraordinary defense, they worked as one to forcibly disassemble a few beast puppets.
“Damn it, why is it getting hotter?”
Soon after they began their attack, they felt that the temperature around them seemed to be continuously rising, and breathing became difficult. Whenever they attacked, they gasped for breath.
Silver Wolf was in the best condition. The others found the heat increasingly more difficult to bear and started to have a very hard time fighting against the beast puppets.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone quickly struck the joints of the beast puppets nearby while he shouted loudly, “The third trap is the beast puppets from the stone doors, and the fourth trap should be that big guy!
“It can’t move, but it’s the biggest trap here! Its purpose is to evaporate all of the air in the hall! Damn it! Once enough time passes, we’ll run out of oxygen in the hall and die!”
The group fell silent.
It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over their heads, and everyone was shocked. It was only at that moment that they remembered the flames in the giant wolf’s mouth!
They were in a sealed hall, and fire in it could kill all invaders! If they didn’t leave soon, the beast puppets could just stop and watch without any need to attack as they all choked to death by themselves.
While everyone worried about that, sparks came from the direction of the Recondite Steel Gate, along with the sounds of many beast puppets being sent flying away.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s lightness skill was the best among the group. He moved back, jumped up, and looked into the distance, and he was just in time to see Happy sending a group of beast puppets tumbling on the ground because of the shock from his Golden Bell Cocoon. There were quite a number of damaged components scattered around the area.
By himself, Happy had already arrived near the huge Fire Wolf’s head.
When All-powerful Medicinal Stone saw that, he was delighted!
Even though he did not know how Happy could have the foresight to deal with the biggest boss straightaway, his action would clearly help everyone.
“Happy, hurry up and deal with that Fire Wolf, or else everyone will die of asphyxiation!”
All-powerful Medicinal Stone did not care whether Happy heard it. He landed back into the crowd and continued to attack.
Everyone relaxed around him, because they felt that the biggest worry had just disappeared!
