Chapter 40: The Ruins. Missing below

There is no shortage of water in the Sennuma area, on the contrary, because of the marshy terrain, there are shallows full of water in many places; However, it was only a shallow, formed by a depression, and at its deepest point, it was no more than an adult's knee; Of course, some of the shallows that seem to be no more than ankle and knee are also dangerous to spot—hidden in clear water, as mud as a swamp, enough for any man in the Thousand Swamps to test the fords with a long stick.

However, this temptation was only to face the shallows, and it was not feasible to face the lake in front of him—with his extraordinary vision, Ye Qi found that the lake in front of him was more than twenty feet deep; And there is no change in the lake or on the shore, it is twenty feet!

In other words, the lake that suddenly appeared in front of it was a huge swimming pool - except for the irregular shape and the lack of safety of the pool.

Under the beautiful lake, bursts of vague fluctuations are constantly coming out, and the number is very large, almost no less than a hundred - Ye Qi, who has his left hand on the hilt of the Enma Knife, squints at the lake slightly, and wants to see through the lake what is hidden in the lake, but even if he has a blind perception to determine the fluctuations of the other party, but with the strength of the naked eye, on the surface of this lake that emits sunlight, it is really impossible to determine what the other party is, and can only see slender outlines.

"Walk along the lake and see if you can find any traces of Jacob and them!"

Yedge was absolutely not in favor of going into the water until he was sure what the 'creatures' in the lake were—although it is not known how Felibe had come up with the idea of 'boating on the shore' of the logs in such a strange lake, but this was definitely not Yedge's approach, even though Felibe might not have been in danger at the time; Ye Qi guessed that this possibility was very high. Otherwise. It is simply impossible for the other side to put the Tatra on and prepare the logs.

"I know it!"

Tate didn't have any objection to Ye Qi's approach - any demon hunter, when he encountered such a situation, as long as he didn't have a brain attack, would not 'go into the water' directly, and carefully confirming and observing was the most important thing to do, whether it was them. Or Jacob is the same; Therefore, if you go around the lake, you will definitely find the traces left by Jacob, and even if you are lucky, it is not surprising that you will encounter Jacob.

After all, the lake in front of them was large enough to explore in no way that could have been completed in a morning or half a morning—and in fact, Yedge and Tate had been walking along the lake for about ten minutes before they saw a path that had been 'explored'. It was cut off by a sharp mountain opener, leaving behind a truth that was enough for ordinary people to pass.

"Looks like we're heading in the right direction!"

Looking at the thorns that are still very fresh from the fracture. Ye Qi nodded with a smile, and then quickened his pace with Tate - with such obvious guidance, the speed of the two was undoubtedly much faster; It wasn't until they reached a 'clearing' that the two stopped.

Some of the fallen trees were broken at the waist, some were simply uprooted, and many new bullet holes appeared in the surrounding trees—apparently this 'clearing' had just been formed.

"Jacob, they're under attack here!"

After identifying the bullet holes and sword marks that existed in the big tree, Tate said to Ye Qi with a gloomy face - the disappearance of one person has now become the disappearance of many people, and half of them are due to him; Undoubtedly, this was a mistake for Tate that he couldn't let go.

Half-crouched on the ground, Tate carefully identified the marks on the ground—mistakes had been made, self-pity had no effect, only amends; While most people are willing to immerse themselves in the former, witchers prefer to practice the latter with action.

Compared with Tate's investigation, Ye Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the dense forest beside him - although he was not good at tracing traces, if he was within the range of blind fighting perception, then Ye Qi was the master of this way; After seeing the place where Jacob and the others were attacked in front of him, the vague fluctuations that he had previously sensed in the lake appeared within his perception range; However, the direction is in a bush.

Secretly made a gesture at Tate, Ye Qi's whole person appeared in the bush in a flash, although it was covered by branches and leaves, but Ye Qi still saw the existence inside very clearly - finely carved hands and feet, an adult-like torso, and even a robe like an ordinary person on his body; However, even a child can tell from the dull facial features that this is a puppet.

Of course, according to the Dark World, there is a puppet in front of you!

That's what it looks like!

For Ye Qi, who had flipped through the secret scrolls of the Dick family, everything suddenly became clear - the Dick family naturally could not be compared with a family like the Nosd family, which was independent of the Autumn Forest District, but the Dick family, which could have a place in the Autumn Forest District, had its own special feature: puppetry.

Whether it was a mechanical puppet for the sake of fighting, a war puppet for war, or even a real puppet just for pure entertainment, Ye Qi had seen it on the Dick family's secret scrolls; There is no shortage of methods on how to make a Solar-class golem - but the materials required and the manufacturing requirements are prohibitive; Although it was impossible to make the top puppets, it did not make Ye Qi throw the Dick family's secret scroll aside; Out of the consideration of knowledge, he read the secret scroll in detail very carefully, and it was this reading that gave him a detailed understanding of the situation in front of him.

The lake that suddenly appeared before, the seemingly clear water, is actually a processed 'nutrient solution' similar to engine oil to preserve the puppets for a long time, but it is much more expensive than engine oil - in order to make the puppet not decay for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, and still be able to use itself, the magic materials added to it, especially the formation of such a large 'lake', are absolutely astronomical; after all, Ye Qi has seen it with his own eyes in the Dick family. The new matriarch of the Dick family. When maintaining your own puppet. Take out a flask, suck out a little more with a dropper, and drip it on the joints and cores of your puppet with the same cautious look.

If the other party is allowed to see so many 'puppet nutrient solutions', they will definitely scream out loud regardless of dignity, but unfortunately, these 'puppet nutrient solutions' cannot experience sunlight, and it only takes a few minutes to lose their due effect in the sunlight - from morning to now. A few hours have passed, and the 'puppet nutrient solution' should have lost all of its proper effect.

A dark wizard of the Dark Ages!

A series of associations made Ye Qi express his sincere admiration for the dark wizard who made such a large-scale laboratory - Ye Qi really couldn't think of any era of wizards who could have such 'resources' except for the era when wizards were prevalent in the dark ages; Ye Qi didn't think that any wizard could have the ability to form a laboratory of this scale in the Thousand Pond District.

Only wizards of the Dark Ages are possible!

Although the Sennuma district has been a marginal area of Lorante in modern times. But before the chaotic times, there was a period of prosperity in the Sennuma district, where the temples and temples of various sects were erected, and the prayers of the believers in the morning were heard throughout the land with the morning light; Although the Thousand Ponds of the Dark Ages did not flourish and belonged to the barren land in the eyes of wizards, this did not prevent some research maniacs from leaving where they should have been, and came here to set up their own laboratories; Even, for wizards who study certain special propositions, this is a treasure land.

Obviously, Felibe's idle and bored guy inadvertently touched the switch to restart the laboratory, and these puppets will reappear as guards and waiters of the laboratory - the wizard emperor at the end of the Dark Ages sent a call, Ye Qi did not think that the wizards of this laboratory would turn a blind eye; In fact, according to the books, basically all the wizards were involved in that great war; Even some sorcerers who are escaping from the world have chosen the corresponding camp.

The owner of this laboratory, He, may be one of them—but, as it stands, the wizard ended up on the side of the Wizard Emperor; Then, never to come back; Otherwise, these puppets wouldn't be so sluggish; will only passively obey orders; According to the comparison on the Dick family's secret scroll, Ye Qi is very sure that the puppet in front of him must be more flexible; At the very least, when he appeared in front of him, there should have been an attack.

However, this also made Ye Qi breathe a sigh of relief - from the scene he saw just now, there was no bloodstain to prove that the former owner of this place was a relatively neutral wizard, and the lowest-level passive defense order set for the puppet was also set; A puppet that no one manipulates will only passively defend a certain piece and will not actively harm others; Under such circumstances, Ye Qi believed that Jacob would find the trick and survive.

At best, it's just captivity!

"Puppet?"

Tate, who was following Ye Qi, saw the existence in the bushes at a glance and couldn't help but exclaim.

Click! Click

It was only at this time that the unmanned puppet reacted - two lassoes shot out from the arm and headed towards Yeqi and Tate.

Sou! Sou!

The rope was four feet long, and there was an iron ball about five inches in diameter on each side, and with the help of the inertia of flight, such a lasso would quickly bind the target under the action of the two iron balls once it touched the object - even a calf had to fall to the ground after being bound; And the more he struggles, the tighter he gets, and he will even end up strangling his own bones.

Syllable! Syllable!

However, Tate, who was standing in front of the puppet, stretched out his hands very quickly and grabbed the iron balls at both ends of the two lassoes in his hands - losing the inertia of the iron balls, the cowhide rope in the middle rushed forward for a while, although it pulled out an arc, but in the end it was still weak and dangling in the air.

Sou! Sou!

Tate, who was not polite, threw the two nooses back at the puppet with a straight shake of his hand; Even, faster than firing with a spring; And obviously, this puppet doesn't have Tate's skills; After two crunching sounds, he was trapped in his hands and feet, and then fell to the ground.

"Is this the thing that attacked me and Jacob?"

Tate looked at Ye Qi suspiciously—the puppet was magical, but it was obvious. He didn't think that a puppet of this rank could cause trouble for him and Jacob; After all. Before his fainting though it was a surprise attack. But the speed at which he couldn't even react was obviously not something that the dull existence in front of him could use; At the very least, if he had that speed, he wouldn't have been able to dodge even the two lassoes he threw casually.

"That's what it should be!"

Ye Qi of course understood what Tate's doubts were, he immediately shook his head, and then thought about the 'lake' behind him and pointed - wow! Wow! Wow!

Like a school of flying fish on the sea, patches of golems leap out of the lake - Tate just glanced at it, and was shocked by the dense number!

"There's at least a hundred of this!"

Tate's speech was a little unclear. His eyes widened with surprise - no doubt Tate had no idea that there were so many puppets in the lake; Moreover, some of them have unique shapes, which are obviously explaining to him who knocked him unconscious.

"Tart, listen to me, when I count to three, you're running like you're running behind me!"

Ye Qi, who had his left hand on the hilt of the Enma Knife, whispered to Tate.

"It's so possible, I absolutely ......"

"It's not about leaving your comrades behind. It's a strategic shift, and it's done to help me! ”

Ye Qi, who is also a witcher. Of course, knowing what Tattat was about to say, he immediately interrupted the other party; And quickly explained: "Don't forget that I'm Solar!" There are a lot of these guys, but if I let them go, they're no match at all! And obviously, you are by my side, and I will not be able to let go of my hands and feet! ”

"This, this...... All right! ”

In the face of such an impeccable reason, Tate nodded with difficulty - although what Ye Qi said was very reasonable, but in the face of this situation of retreating due to lack of strength, every qualified demon hunter would not feel comfortable in his heart.

"So, one, two, three!"

Ye Qi began to count in a low voice, and as soon as the 'three' exited, Tate immediately ran backwards like an arrow from a string - unwilling, it would only be used as a motivation for a qualified witcher to move forward, not an excuse to drag his comrades back; As a witcher, Tate wisely chose the right option.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

As Tate retreated, the puppets standing on the shore finally made a move—the same lasso, but from two just now, to two hundred at this moment!

A noose is swept through the air, and people with good eyesight can clearly identify, and people with bad eyesight will only see a whirling phantom, and two hundred nooses across the sky, even if they have good eyes, they will be dazzled - as for those with bad eyesight? He would only see a dark shadow covering the sky, under the hood.

Boom!

In the unique unsheathed sound of the Enma Knife, a crescent-shaped blade appeared in front of Ye Qi, and then, immediately, a strong wind burst out from this crescent moon - this is from the memory of the inheritance with the dragon, there is a skill about [Sword Wind], although without the broadsword as a basis, Ye Qi cannot use the corresponding skill with great attack power, but it is easy to just bring a gust of wind; Especially after the master-level cold weapon skill has been improved again, and after reaching the current level 59, it is extremely simple.

Call! Call! Call!

It is like the legendary god of the north wind of Lorante, who patronizes the Midwinter Festival, with a terrifying whistling sound, and a strong wind blows throughout the woodland that makes it impossible to stand upright; And in this gust of wind, the lassoes that flew all over the sky were blown to the side, and some even flew back upside down.

Buzz Buzz......

A series of humming sounds of the Enma Blade, followed by the roaring wind, scurried left and right in the crowd of golems who were scrambled by their own attacks—with each vibration of the blade, one or more of the golems fell; or the hands and feet are cut off, or they are cut in two; For a group of puppets whose strength is at most only the star level, a few months Hui level, most of them are not at the level, and no one manipulates them, and only relies on the 'wizard secret words' to act passively, for some ordinary people and even the few months Hui level apostles have an absolute advantage, but in the face of Ye Qi, who has reached the solar level, it is not enough at all.

It's not that these puppets aren't made carefully enough, or that the weapons they are equipped with aren't sophisticated enough, it's just a simple difference in strength; If this gap is manipulated, then it may be able to make up for it with the advantage of numbers; After all, although the dark wizard who is good at puppets has one or two powerful 'personal puppets' to rely on, most of the time they use quantity as the basis for winning - just like the puppets in front of them, the number of more than 100 puppets, if it is controlled by someone, then Ye Qi has to temporarily retreat and choose other ways to achieve his goals, instead of rushing into the puppet group like cutting stakes like now.

That's right, it's to chop the stake - no one manipulates it, and after making an attack, it just makes the next attack in a dull way, so that the puppet without any cooperation is a stake chopping in Ye Qi's opinion; And it's the kind of unusually simple 'immovable target'.

There's no difficulty!
