Chapter 45 Defective Products
Countless puppets came out of the city from all directions, wandering between the streets like geistes, each of them looked roughly the same, and their movements were a little stiff, not as agile as the puppets that Aoi had seen before.
Looking at the strange picture in front of them, they could also guess why the people who had walked into this place before fled in panic. Isn't this kind of scene really like a wandering ghost, a hellish scene?
"There are so many puppets, it seems that there is indeed a big problem in this city." Fu Tian looked at the puppets wandering aimlessly on the street from the window, and couldn't help but clench the sword in his hand, "What is the purpose of making so many puppets?" ”
Kwai Jingyue leaned against the door, just glanced at the scene outside the door, "Don't worry, these puppets are uncontrolled, and they are probably abandoned here by their owners." ”
"Abandoned?" Kwai was puzzled, "Why should you abandon it?" ”
"Because they're all defective." Kwai Jingyue put her hand into her cuffs, groped for a while, and found a bag of melon seeds, "As early as the day we left the Baikui Valley, the puppet we encountered, I found that it was very different from the puppet encountered on the South Styx Mountain. And now the puppets in this city are worse than that one, and it is estimated that they are abandoned defective products, and the three puppets seen on the South Styx Mountain are really strong, and you should try to support the guards if you have the opportunity. ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency, I still don't have to." Fu Tian listened to the sound of "Ka Ba Ka Ba" snorting melon seeds on the side, and couldn't help but admire His Excellency the ghost doctor, who could still eat melon seeds so leisurely and freely under such circumstances.
Kwai Fan'er turned her head to look at Kwai Jingyue, and saw that he was happily snorting, so she stretched out her hand in front of him.
Looking at the hand in front of her, Kwai Jingyue looked at Kwai Fan'er again, blinked, grabbed a small handful from the melon seed bag and put it in her hand.
I hid a big bag, so I gave her a few of them, Kwai Fan'er shook her head speechlessly, "It seems that the master thinks this melon seed is better than the fried apprentice?" ”
Kwai Jingyue hesitated, grabbed a small handful and put it in her hand, "Fan'er, I can't give it anymore, I still want to keep it for food on the way back......"
Can you still eat melon seeds while riding a horse?
The corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, sighing that he was really a strange teacher, so leisurely, there was no tension at all.
"What are we going to do now?" Kwai Fan'er tasted a melon seed, and the taste was indeed much worse than what she fried, "The puppet suddenly moved, I don't know what happened, if we rush out, so many puppets, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get out of the city." ”
"Why go out of the city," Kwai Jingyue wrapped the remaining melon seeds and kicked them into her sleeve properly, "It's just some defective products, don't be afraid, if this puppet makes any moves, just cut them all." ”
"You're talking lightly." Kwai Fan'er looked at the puppet outside, "Not to mention that this puppet's body is as hard as a stone, just this thousands of numbers, if you don't get crushed to death, you will die of exhaustion." ”
"Indeed, the body of the puppet is hard, and it is quite laborious to kill one of them, let alone so many puppets, it is estimated that we will exhaust ourselves before we kill them all."
After all, Fu Tian is a person who has been on the battlefield, and he knows very well what it feels like to be one to a hundred, and Kwai Fan'er and Le Zhengxuan are not good at martial arts, if they are really in danger, they will protect themselves and be reluctant, let alone kill the enemy with them.
It's just that he remembered the scene he saw after returning to the palace on the day of the palace change, Kwai Jingyue killed thousands of people with his own strength, and the blood flowed like a river, but he was unscathed.
Therefore, he felt that Kwai Jingyue seemed to really have the strength to destroy all these puppets.
But he didn't dare to take the risk, because Le Zhengxuan was also here.
"Since we're not sure if these puppets are going to attack us now, there's no way to wait, so let's open the door and give it a try." Kwai Fan'er didn't know if she felt relieved because of Kwai Jingyue's words, so she decided to take a risk.
Unexpectedly, Le Zhengxuan also nodded, "I agree, just open the door and show up, it's a big deal to run, anyway, I don't think these dried corpses can run fast." ”
"In that case, let's take a gamble over there." Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Fu Tian had no choice but to comply, so he protected the rest of the people behind him and opened the door.
The sound of the door opening caught the golem's attention, and they turned their heads to look at them.
The four of them immediately went on guard, but after a while, the puppets were still staring at them in a daze, but they didn't make any moves.
"Look, let me say, they're all uncontrolled and won't attack us." Seeing this, Kwai Jingyue stepped out of the room and looked at them and said proudly.
"Master, watch behind you!" Aoi suddenly pointed behind him and shouted.
Kwai Jingyue was startled, pulled out a soft sword from his waist and swung it behind him, but only slashed a piece of air.
Aoi Fen'er walked behind him calmly, "Lie to you." ”
"You're playing tricks on me!" Kwai Jingyue threw the sword on the ground in a rage, jumped to her feet angrily, and after a while, picked up the sword again and patted the ashes.
Because of the number of puppets, they could not move forward on horseback, so they had to shuttle through the group of puppets on foot, towards the center of the city.
Wherever they went, the puppets stared at each other until they were out of sight, and then roamed the streets again.
This feeling of being stared at all the time really makes people feel very weird and uncomfortable.
As they continued to advance, they could see more and more puppets, and it was almost impossible for them to guess how many of these puppets would be in the entire city, almost a puppet army.
After a few miles, they reached the center of the city, where they found a large mansion enclosed around it, and the city was rebuilt from it.
And at the end of the road leading to the house, there is an archway, stucco and white stone, engraved with three characters - Yin and Yang Gate.
On the spires on both sides of the archway, there are two humanoid things, because they are far apart, they can't see clearly.
They walked to the archway and finally saw what was on the spire.
It turned out to be two puppets, but they were very different from the puppets that roamed the streets, those two puppets were dressed in battle armor, one armed with a spear, and the other armed with a double axe.
Fu Tian's instincts told him that the two puppets were very dangerous.
Kwai Jingyue's expression finally became solemn, the feeling that these two puppets gave him was basically the same as the three puppets on the South Styx Mountain, and it might even be more dangerous than them.
The two of them took a few steps forward, protecting Kwai Fan'er and Le Zhengxuan behind them.
And at this time, the two puppets on the archway moved, they lowered their heads and looked at the few people under the archway, "Who is coming?" ”
"Oh, the dead man has spoken!" Le Zhengxuan felt that the wind was blowing, and he trembled unconsciously.
Kwai Fan'er wrinkled her eyebrows, she remembered the puppet who spoke that day, could it be that the person behind the scenes who had been trying to harm their master and apprentice was in this mansion?
"Traveling merchants, get lost here, if you are disturbed, look at Haihan." Kwai Jingyue settled down and replied loudly.
"Hypocrites should die without a place to be buried." After the puppet finished speaking, he jumped down from the archway with his weapon in hand, and destroyed several defective puppets when he landed.
"Fen'er, back off!" Kwai Jingyue sensed the killing intent in the puppet's words, so she immediately told Kwai Fan'er to retreat to a safe place, and pulled out the soft sword at her waist again.
"Be careful!" Kwai Fan'er knew that the two of them were by her side, which would only distract them, so she pulled Le Zhengxuan and stepped back.
Fu Tian drew his sword and stood beside Kwai Jingyue, but Kwai Jingyue was a little anxious, because he knew very well that Fu Tian, as an ordinary person, could not be the opponent of this tough puppet, but if he dealt with these two puppets alone, it would be really reluctant.
"Fu Wei, you just need to protect yourself, delay one puppet, wait for me to deal with the other, come and help you," Kwai Jingyue said to Fu Tian, and after receiving an affirmative response, she rushed towards the puppet with a spear with a sword.
The puppet with the double axe approached Fu Tian, raised the double axe in his hand high, and fell towards him, the power on the double axe could almost cut a person into three pieces with a single blow.
Fu Tian hurriedly jumped to the side, and the pair of axes fell to the ground, and the ground made of bluestone suddenly shattered, and several defective puppets were also broken into several pieces under the power of the double axes.
With this blow, Fu Tian knew that he would never be able to resist it head-on, and could only take dodging as a priority, but fortunately, the double axes in the hands of this puppet were extremely heavy, and its movements were relatively slow.
On the other hand, the spear puppet on Kwai Jingyue's side, whether it is the flexibility of movement, or the speed and strength of the gun, is something that ordinary martial arts practitioners can't do.
And Kwai Jingyue's body technique is not inferior to it, and he dodges every shot steadily, but this puppet's skin and flesh are as hard as gold and iron, and his sword slashes on it, and it can only leave no deep or shallow scars, and he can't directly cut off his hands and feet like before.
The puppet was tireless, so he kept attacking at a rapid speed, and Kwai Jingyue parried while looking for the right time to attack.
A shot was thrown, and the tip of the spear pierced into the ground, cracking through a cobweb-like crack. Seeing it throw its weapon, Kwai Jingyue seized the opportunity, rushed to it, and slashed at its neck with a sword.
It's a pity that the puppet reacts quickly and has a strong body, and after Kwai Jingyue's sword came, it immediately jumped high, borrowed its strength on the roof on the side, jumped back directly to the spear, and pulled out the spear from the ground and held it in its hand.
At this time, they switched positions, and the puppet gave up attacking Kwai Jingyue, turned its head, turned over and rushed towards Kwai Fan'er and Le Zhengxuan behind it, and stabbed them with a gun.
Seeing this, Fu Tian was in a mess for a while, and his arm was scratched by the puppet's axe.
The act of the puppet with the gun completely angered Kwai Jingyue, and he rushed in its direction, because of anger, a blood-red mark appeared on his forehead, looking magnificent and bewitching.
He was even faster than the puppet, and in an instant he appeared above the puppet, stepped on it on the ground with one kick to restrain it, swirled his hand and waved his sword, only to see a red light and shadow, and the puppet's head rolled to the ground, and there was no movement.
Kwai Fan'er looked at him, his strength did not make her happy, but inexplicably, a deep panic rose in her heart.
