Chapter 2021: The War Begins

"Little Brother Ye Chen, how is it, what's in here...... It should still work, right?" Nan Yin himself also looked a little bottomless, and followed into the hut, covering his mouth and nose while confirming to Ye Chen.

"Yes, of course it works! Most of them need to be maintained or repaired, but it doesn't take long. Ye Chen replied as much as he tried his best to control his excitement. For ordinary people, these things in front of them may just be a pile of broken copper and iron that wastes space, but for Ye Chen, it is tantamount to a mountain of gold. What's more, once these abandoned puppet beasts are repaired, they must be re-identified before they can be reused, which is equivalent to saying that they don't need to find materials to refine anymore, so they have picked up so much combat power in vain.

"Time...... I don't know how much Little Brother Ye Chen needs? Three days later, the team from Purple Cloud City should have arrived, and we should be able to hold out more...... Two days. Nanyin hesitated for a while before giving an accurate time.

"Five days?" Ye Chen pondered in his heart, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, Nanyin City Lord, there should be time in time." ”

"That's good. After receiving Ye Chen's affirmative answer, the expression on Nanyin's face became more relaxed, "In this way, I will immediately ask someone to come over and clean this house, and Ye Chen's little brother can start repairing it immediately." ”

"No need. Ye Chen smiled and waved his hand, and once again declined Nanyin's proposal, "Although it doesn't look very clean here, it's not in the way, time is critical, I'd better start repairing it now." ”

Seeing the impatience in Ye Chen's eyes, Nanyin no longer insisted, nodded and said, "Okay, since Ye Chen's little brother has said so, Nanyin naturally can't ask for it." If there is anything needed to repair the puppet beast in the past few days, Little Brother Ye Chen will just say directly, and I will send someone to guard outside. ”

"Young master, let Pearl stay with you, how boring you are here alone. At this time, Pearl looked at Ye Chen and said, while looking around, obviously very curious about the puppet beast in this room.

"No, I can't. Ye Chen looked at Pearl for a while, then shook his head and refused: "It takes a lot of energy to repair these things, and it is not easy for me to be distracted by myself." Don't worry, I'll show you when everything is repaired. ”

"Good...... "Right......" Pearl agreed somewhat reluctantly, "but you must remember, young master, and don't forget." ”

"I won't forget it. Ye Chen nodded with a smile, then looked at the old man of the hundred poisons and said, "The senior of the hundred poisons, what ...... In the few days I've been here, I've asked my seniors to take care of it. By the way, don't take it out of the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Ye Chen's last sentence was obviously the focus of his instructions to the old man of the hundred poisons, and the old man of the hundred poisons also smiled back and said, "Don't worry, Holy Son, I understand." ”

After Nanyin left with the old man of the hundred poisons and the pearl, Ye Chen exhaled a long breath and solemnly looked at the nearest puppet beast with the appearance of a praying mantis. "It's just that a scythe is broken, and the broken material is nearby, so it's not a big problem, and it will only take an hour to fix it. ”

Every one or two hours, a puppet beast can be successfully repaired, and this harvest of discovering one and solving one makes Ye Chen intoxicated, without the slightest idea of stopping, completely ignoring that the door has experienced several sunrises and sunsets.

"Whew...... It's finally almost repaired, it seems that this Wind Flame City Lord really has a soft spot for insect spirit beasts, except for the two humanoid puppet beasts, the other puppet beasts are all insect-shaped. Ye Chen smiled and approached the last puppet beast waiting to be repaired, and found that although the remaining one was also a ladybug, it looked more than one size larger than the other puppet beasts, and it was not ordinary at first glance.

It's just that Ye Chen looked left and right for a long time, but found that the condition of this puppet beast was also different from other puppet beasts, it was not ordinary material damage, but some problems with the core of the operation.

Ye Chen supported his head with one hand, and he was a little embarrassed about this situation for a while, so he could only patiently and slowly think of a way. However, before Ye Chen could think for long, he only heard an eager shout from outside.

"City Lord! City Lord! Oh no! The people of Purple Cloud City have broken through the gate and are about to rush to the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord, what should we do?"

"Be quiet!Master Ye Chen is still inside, don't yell here!"

"But...... City Lord, the people of Purple Cloud City are about to be killed, are we just ...... Moreover, City Lord, you have already come back in advance and waited here for so long, is it really okay inside?"

Listening to the conversation outside, Ye Chen gradually understood, but he didn't expect that five days would be such a loss, and the situation in Luo Yu City would deteriorate so quickly.

"Less nonsense, let you be quieter!"

Ye Chen exhaled a long breath, but he didn't expect that his action was slow in the end, so he could only get up and open the door first, but found that the old man of the hundred poisons and the pearl were also guarding the door with Nanyin, left and right, and when they saw him, several people showed surprised eyes in their eyes at the same time.

"Young master, you finally came out, have all the things inside been repaired?"

"This ...... Not yet. Although he didn't want to disappoint the pearl, Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, but still chose to tell the truth, "However, it's almost there, only the last one is repaired." ”

Listening to Ye Chen's words, Nanyin's eyes went from anxious at the beginning, to despair, to excitement, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Really? Little brother Ye Chen, what about it...... Can the other puppet beasts be used now?"

"Absolutely. Hearing the anxiety in Nanyin's tone, Ye Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Nanyin City Lord, wait a while, I'll go and get the puppet beast inside." ”

Despite Ye Chen's words, Nanyin and the others couldn't help but walk into the room and looked around with curiosity. However, several people waited for a long time, but found that Ye Chen seemed to be frozen, and the whole person was stunned in place and did not react at all.

"Little brother Ye Chen, is there something wrong?" Seeing that Ye Chen didn't respond, Nan Yin finally couldn't help but ask.

"This ......" Ye Chen glanced back at a few people with some hesitation, and his face couldn't help showing an expression full of embarrassment, "It seems that something unexpected has happened." ”

"What's the accident, Holy Son, are you okay?" asked the old man with concern, only worried about whether there was anything wrong with Ye Chen's body.

"Hundred Poison seniors, I'm fine, it's just these puppet beasts......" Ye Chen said with some hesitation.
