Nightsong lit a torch and headed deeper into the cavern, the murmur of water ticking and the ground filled with a viscous liquid that emitted a foul stench.

The deeper you go, the larger the cavern's space, and many forks in the road appear in front of Nightsong. The cave is completely laid out, and there are stone chairs, stone benches and stone beds, and Ye Ming understands at a glance that there was once a group of spirit animals living here, and it is also an ape-like spirit animal.

"It's!"

Nightsong walked along the scent, a group of bats flew out of the fork in the road, he turned his spiritual power to disperse the bats, and then found a huge cave space, hundreds of square meters wide, and in this area, there were countless corpses, which was the source of the smell.

"Check it out!"

Teacher Hardy urged Yeming, Yeming took out a few torches, and then lit them with aura, inserted them everywhere in the cave, and the firelight lit up the entire cave.

"These are the dead corpses of spirit beasts, how can there be so many, a group of spirit beasts, exterminated!"

Yeming hurriedly walked over to check, the corpse of the spirit beast was already decomposed, and there were snakes and insects crawling around, Yeming used spiritual power to disperse the living creatures, and then pulled out one from the pile of corpses, he judged the type of spirit beast by analyzing the bones of the spirit beast.

Ye Ming selected more than a dozen dead spirit beasts in a row, and he found that these spirit beasts were indeed of the same kind.

"It's all the carcasses of the tiger ape, and even many of the young beasts have been killed. ”

Yeming thought of the three-star tiger ape in the Red Valley Forest again, it was full of hatred for humans, and chased and killed more than 100 participating psionics, could it be that there was any connection between this?

Why was the tiger ape exterminated? Nightsong continued to search for clues, trying to find out why.

In the huge cave, snakes and insects were scurrying everywhere, one dead corpse after another was turned over, and Yeming turned over the corpses of more than 300 tiger apes, but still no useful clues were found.

The corpses were killed in different ways, some were cut in two, some had their skulls shattered, some had their hearts pierced, and some seemed to have been torn apart alive.

"What the hell was the tiger ape killed by?"

Nightsong was puzzled, and at this moment, Nightsong turned over a group of dead bodies in the corner of the cave, and he found a different corpse.

This is not a tiger ape, but a human! What's even stranger is that his flesh is not rotting, but his limbs have been torn apart by a group of tiger apes, leaving only his body and head, and Nightsong walks in to take a closer look at the dead body.

"Is this?"

"There are so many spiritual power runes inserted in the body, and the flesh and bones are not scattered, and the blood is dry, this is a spiritual power puppet! And this form should be made of living materials, it is really ruthless. ”

Teacher Hardy said.

For this kind of spiritual puppet, Ye Ming is very familiar, because Ye Shao was killed by Hester like this!

This kind of talisman arrangement is exactly the same as the one that Hester inserted into Ye Shao's body.

"Spiritual puppet, someone must have controlled the spiritual puppet, and then for a certain purpose, the tiger head ape was exterminated. And the one we met in the Red Valley Forest should be the leader of this group of tiger apes, it escaped, because the tribe was slaughtered by humans, so it wants to take revenge on humans in the most cruel way. ”

Mr. Hardy's thoughts coincided with Yeming's, but Yeming thought of another question at this time.

"Puppet art is a three-star spiritual technique, and refining a puppet with a living person is a forbidden spiritual technique, and a two-star spiritual master in Hester can actually understand this kind of spiritual art, someone must have taught him. And the person who taught him was the one who drove the puppets to destroy the tiger ape clan. ”

Yeming felt that he had to find out about it.

He searched through the cave again, rummaging through thousands of dead corpses, and found a total of three spiritual puppets from them. These golems remained in their original appearance, but they were in tatters and were completely destroyed in the battle with the spirit beasts.

Nightshade guesses that the manipulator must have missed the two puppets when they were cleaning up the scene, so that Nightshade could find out.

"Nightshade, do you see what's wrong?"

Teacher Hardy asked.

“··· You can read my heart, and you have to ask me what I do..."

"Haha, get used to it, I mean to tell you, my conjecture. ”

"Huh?"

"Do you remember a black bead you got from Hester? you took it out and injected it with spiritual power, I guess that the bead was probably a prop that could control the puppet!"

So, Yeming took out the black beads from his backpack and used a puppet control technique he taught to channel spiritual power according to what Hardy said, only to see that the beads glowed with a milky white halo, and the puppet actually trembled.

It's just that the three puppets have been completely destroyed, their limbs are broken, so they are only rattling, and then they fall to the ground again, not moving.

"Sure enough! These puppets have something to do with Hester. ”

Nightsong was now very sure of Hester's relationship with the controller.

"This is deep in the wild forest, and it is impossible for the controller to drive the puppets from far away, just to kill the tiger ape. I think it's likely that the manipulator was near the cave and had to kill the tiger ape because of some connection. ”

"Perhaps, the manipulator is trying to grab the territory, or it may be to rob a certain treasure, or it is possible that it is to avoid being discovered. ”

Nightshade guesses.

"Well, it's very likely, Nightsong, do you want to find out about this?"

"Of course, I want to see who is so cruel and uses living people as spiritual puppets!"

Ye Ming thought of the tragic death of Ye Shao at this moment, and couldn't help but have a killing intent in his heart.

After confirming that there were no other clues, Nightsong walked out of the cave, and in order to avoid suspicion, he re-made some stones to block the entrance to the cave, and looked from a distance as if no one had come.

"Yeming, you follow the puppet control technique I taught you and inject spiritual power into the beads, if the beads react, then the puppet is likely to be nearby. ”

Nightshade responded, then injected spiritual power into the beads, and then covered his body with psychic shadows, exploring around the cave.

He rounded the hillside and weaved through several small hills, surrounded by turquoise wooded vegetation that would be difficult to spot if he built a secret base in the area.

Yeming walked for nearly half an hour, and at this time, a milky white halo suddenly appeared on the bead, Yeming quickly judged the direction, and then cut off the spiritual power, and the bead no longer glowed.

At the same time, in an underground cavern, five or six golems suddenly moved, and then came to rest again.

"Hmm? Did you see that the golem seemed to have moved? ”

"You're dazzled, the elders aren't here, who has the ability to mobilize these puppets?"

"Alas, I've been busy arranging runes for the past few days, and more than a dozen psionics have been sent in from outside, maybe I'm too tired during this time, and I'm hallucinating. ”

"Well, after you're done with these puppets, you can get some rest. ”

On the other hand, Nightsong has already discovered the spot where the beads are sensitive, and this is a large valley with many trees growing around it, obscuring the view downward.

Yeming mobilized the spirit concealment technique, quietly walked down, and went deeper for more than four hundred meters, Yeming landed on his legs and feet, and what appeared in front of him was a big empty cave, and there were lights around it, obviously, there were people here!

He hid his figure and walked towards a passage in the cave.
