The owner of the No. 9 ruins is a generous old man.

At least that's what Tang Ling knows.

The puppet given away as soon as it is shot, although it may not have much powerful attack power, but its powerful ability to resist blows is breathtaking.

You must know that the weapons on Tang Ling's body are all B-grade alloys, and he has to use all his strength to use a B-grade alloy dagger in order to cause some actual damage to the puppet, but it will not affect the puppet's actions.

This kind of thing is even more terrifying than a corpse.

Tang Ling had calculated with his precise instinct that it would take him five minutes to completely destroy such a puppet if the B-grade alloy dagger was not lost.

That's a terrible number.

First of all, the B-tier alloy dagger will definitely be worn out in the process of attacking the golem.

Furthermore, Luo Li can control the puppet, and it is impossible for the puppet to stand in that place and let you keep attacking.

Therefore, in the actual battle, calculating various circumstances, with Tang Ling's current combat strength, it would take at least 15 minutes to destroy a puppet.

If these puppets swarmed up, Tang Ling was not an opponent.

In this way, can this old man not be generous? A dozen puppets are stronger than the combat power of an elite warrior battalion at the Fortress of Hope.

Tang Ling refers to the elite warrior battalion of 300 people who are fully armed and fully organized according to the establishment of Security Zone 17.

"So, we can finally catch our breath." Losin pushed open the door at the end of the hallway.

A slightly harsh ray of sunlight shone in, and the door opened, and sure enough, it was the backyard of the house.

It's weird, the balcony on the second floor leads to the backyard...

"Brother, do you have to work hard to manipulate these puppets?" The three of them stood in the backyard, and after cracking this second formation, they could go to most of the Nine Ruins.

"It's not a stretch." Luo Li was a little proud.

Luo Xin glanced at Luo Li, Tang Ling felt that Luo Li should be proud, when Luo Yan talked about Luo Li's talent, it was difficult for Tang Ling to understand what kind of talent it was anyway.

Sixth sense? Mutant psychic powers? Or is it soul power? Looking at the description, it should be soul power, but this is probably based on the fact that people have souls, right?

But it turns out that the talent that Tang Feng values so much is not simple.

"Luo Li, what kind of feeling does it feel to control these puppets?" Tang Ling couldn't help but ask, maybe this could help him understand Luo Li's talent?

"Well, like a dozen of myself, you know?" Luo Li didn't have any intention of concealing it, and directly told Tang Ling his feelings.

That's amazing, doppelganger? Still such a tough clone! Tang Ling was a little envious.

Dare to love this stupid big man who is stronger than him all of a sudden?

"Is it difficult to control a dozen at once? Will it cost you anything? Tang Ling asked again.

This is a very important reference for his next arrangement.

"It's not difficult, but I can feel that my limit is thirty golems. Also, after more than 5 minutes of control, I felt a little dizzy. Luo Li scratched the back of his head as he spoke, and smiled embarrassedly.

This made Tang Ling's heart finally balance a little, if he could control it without restrictions, it would be even stronger than a Purple Moon Warrior's combat power.

"In that case, let's do it next." Tang Ling stretched and began to tell his plan.

**

Site Nine.

There are two major formations, and the second formation is hidden in the center of the first formation.

And the first formation has a total of three permissions, and if you crack one layer, you can go deeper into the Nine Ruins.

By now, three days have passed.

Whether it was Tang Ling and the three of them, or the Star Council, they all cracked the second formation.

Then, a battle ensued in the Nine Ruins.

This was a bizarre battle, from beginning to end, Tang Ling and the three of them never showed their faces, and all that appeared were some monsters in cloaks.

The attack ability of these monsters is strong, at least for the soldiers led by Long Qi.

One punch can probably hit one to two bulls.

If that's all there is, it's nothing, the point is that these monsters are tireless, and their ability to resist blows is terrifying, and the thermal weapons they carry don't do much damage to these monsters at all.

But once these monsters get close, they can easily take the lives of a dozen soldiers.

The only one who can fight these monsters is Long Qi, as well as several elites under him.

But these monsters are very cunning, they never appear in groups, they are always divided into teams.

The troops who harassed the Star Council back and forth made Long Qi and the others exhausted.

Even they don't seek any results, in short, when there is a possibility of being caught, they will immediately retreat, and then scatter and disappear into the various aisles.

After nearly two and a half days of fighting, Long Qi's troops lost more than a hundred people, but none of such a monster Long Qi were caught.

On the contrary, because of the frequent appearance of these monsters, people are panicked, after all, everyone doesn't know what this thing is, and their hearts are full of fear.

"Hehe, no more searching." Tang Ling opened a gap in the blinds, looked at the outside world, and said lightly with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

He knew that it would be a matter of time before Long Qi cracked the second formation.

And what was the first thing he did after he broke the formation? It must be to search for the location of the three of them.

Tang Ling never thought that he could use these puppets to resist Long Qi and Long Qi's entire army.

But this kind of harassment tactic can disrupt their search, so that Long Qi will not dare to search the entire town on a large scale.

Moreover, he can also let Luo Li use the puppet to harass the ineffective Kolo team, which means that the Long Qi who can fight the puppet must guard the Crowe team.

Because ordinary soldiers simply can't resist it.

And without the protection of Long Qi's people, where would ordinary soldiers dare to come out and search? Their morale is in disarray.

Obviously, Tang Ling's method worked very well.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Long Qi really gave up searching for the whereabouts of Tang Ling and the others, and began to tighten all his forces, occupying the ZF office, the largest building in the town, and entrenched there.

"Do you need to go there and kill a few more of them?" Luo Li's eyes had an excited look, the two and a half days of fighting made him feel very brave, killing more than a hundred of the opposing troops.

"No need, we're going to have time now." Tang Ling rubbed his swollen forehead, and then said to Luo Li, "Didn't you realize that your puppet action requires energy consumption?" ”

In the room, there was a slippery puppet, which Tang Ling and Luo Xin had deliberately left behind to study.

It turned out that on top of the puppet's thin body like a bamboo pole, in the part corresponding to the human heart, there was a small lid that could be opened.

After opening, you can see the complex structure inside the puppet, which has some mechanical processes of the previous civilization and a mysterious technology, which complement each other to form the framework inside the puppet.

What is this mysterious technology? Tang Ling and Luo Xin also couldn't name it, only knowing that it only appeared in the key parts of the structure, and it was a key technology for puppets to move freely, and it was no different from human actions.

It is a crystallization of a magic symbol, which is installed in some of the key parts of the connection.

What's more, this puppet also has a heart, a diamond-shaped heart, and a small universal energy stone is embedded in the heart, and this universal energy stone is the action energy of these puppets.

After two and a half days of fighting, Tang Ling found that the Ten Thousand Energy Stone had dimmed a little, and he had calculated with his precise instinct that this small Ten Thousand Energy Stone would support the puppet for ten days of battle at most.

This shows that these puppets are simply money-burning machines, and how valuable is the energy stone?

"They can self-detonate, and if they run out of energy, I can detonate two. Guarantee that Dragon Seven..."After Luo Li controlled the puppets for two days, his understanding of these puppets became deeper and deeper.

He clenched his fists, and when he talked about Long Qi, his eyes were full of anger.

Tang Ling patted Luo Li's shoulder and said, "If you don't have to, don't waste these puppets. You know, it's the materials they make up that are the most valuable. ”

As he spoke, Tang Ling walked up to the slippery puppet, skillfully removed the puppet's limbs from the joint, adjusted the angle again, opened the small door at the heart, and pressed the two buttons behind the door.

I saw that the puppet's head automatically retracted into the body, and four grooves appeared on the bamboo pole-like body, just enough to fit the removed limbs into it, and when the limbs were placed, the whole body would shrink and thinner again.

After such a change, the entire puppet became a stick half a human length and the thickness of an arm.

This stick is very strong, it can be used as a weapon in an emergency, the key is that it is easy to carry, and the weight is not heavy, anyway, there is no problem for a big man like Luo Li to carry a dozen sticks on his back.

Tang Ling wanted Luo Li to take away these dozen puppets, and also to give him a little more protection for gaining a foothold in the Dark Harbor in the future.

Just imagine, with such a puppet, how could Tang Ling be willing to let Luo Xin blow himself up two? It's a terrible thing!

As for the Ten Thousand Energy Stone, after cracking the last formation, you should see a big one!

When the time comes, it should be no problem to find a way to take some away.

Thinking of this, Tang Ling glanced back at Luo Xin, at this time Luo Xin was still busy calculating, the formation that Luo had not completely cracked in the three generations of the Luo clan was now in Luo Xin's hands, the time was still so urgent, she had huge pressure.

But fortunately, there is Tang Ling, he is simply a genius in formation, even if Tang Ling said that it was actually related to his talent.

Luo Xin is still incomprehensible, what talent will be related to the formation?

"How long will it take?" Tang Ling squatted down and asked Luo Xin.

"As long as you compare these last three sets of symbols, I can determine the starting point of this third formation. But I don't think it's good. Losing looked up and rested against the wall for a moment.

After such a long calculation, she was indeed very tired.

Tang Ling took the three sets of symbols given to him by Luo Xin, and began to compare them quickly, with Tang Ling's understanding of the formation now, he took another step forward, he could no longer use the rigid comparison, but could add some of his own inferences to speed up the whole comparison process.

Luo Li opened the blinds.

The ever-changing morning light flooded into the room, with large lawns, neat roads, red roofs, white wooden walls, a church in the center, and some small squares, typical of a Western town.

At this time, the town is so peaceful and peaceful, and the figures who keep walking around the town make this town so vivid.

However, the troops of the Council of Stars were very afraid of these figures, and they were harassed by the puppets for several days, and many soldiers of the Council of Stars firmly believed that these figures were 'ghosts'.

Thinking of this, Luo Li couldn't help but feel funny, and he leaned against the window and snored.

At this time, Tang Ling finally handed the results written on the paper to Luo Xin: "The comparison is good, I can determine where this third starting point is." Although I have a hard time believing this result. ”

Rubbing his swollen eyebrows, Tang Ling pointed out a place on the complete map of the formation that Luo Xin had laid out.

Luo Xin opened his eyes and looked at the place, with a wry smile on his face: "Sure enough, the result I least wanted." ”

The place Tang Ling was referring to corresponded to the small town, in the center of a small square.

The structure of this small square is very simple, with a few large trees, a few benches, a stone monument.

That starting point turned out to be the same stone monument.

Very ordinary steles, square pillars, sharp at the top, I don't know what meaning they represent.

But the simpler the starting point, the more weird and difficult it is to crack.

Because it has no road, no specific direction, and most importantly, if they want to go to that place to break the formation, it means that they have to confront the Star Council directly.

There's no way to hide.

"What should I do?" Luo Xin looked at Tang Ling.

"To get to this point, we have to crack the third formation." Tang Ling stood up and took a deep breath.

In the past three days, he has been learning formation knowledge, and Luo Xin has also explained a lot to him, and he has already made a decision in his heart.

"If you want to rush time, I'll crack this formation. Do you believe me? Tang Ling looked at Luo Xin, he couldn't explain his precise instinct to Luo Xin too specifically.

But in fact, he who has the instinct of precision may not be as good as Luo Xin in arranging the formation, but he is really faster than Luo Xin in breaking the formation.

Even Tang Ling couldn't bear to tell Luo Xin that a few hours ago, he had already come up with the answer that the starting point of the third formation was there.

However, in order to protect Luo Xin's strong self-esteem, and to once again familiarize himself with the notes of the three generations of the Luo family, and to sort out a broken idea in his mind, he did not say it.

"Are you sure?" Losin asked seriously.

"Forty percent of it. The point is, if I can crack it successfully, the time will be faster. Tang Ling didn't mean to joke half-separately.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you to crack it." Losin agreed.

But everyone knows that the next crack will usher in the most difficult situation, and they will have to face the people of the Star Council.
