Chapter 55: Tracing the Puppet
is about to part, always sad, even if the two of them deliberately make some little jokes, but they can't really be happy in their hearts.
Chen Guan didn't like that kind of atmosphere, so he accompanied them for a long time in Qingshan Town, and the next morning, he entered the Demon Beast Mountain Range alone.
He only knew that the Soul Hall Protector was hidden inside, but the exact location was not clear.
Therefore, before the day of punishment arrives, it is best for him to find the hiding place of the Rakei Monster.
A Dou Zong powerhouse, even if he is seriously injured, really wants to hide, it is difficult for ordinary people to find it.
However, for Chen Guanqi, this problem is not that difficult.
Entering the Demon Beast Mountain Range, Chen Guan did not release his soul perception to search for the first time, even if his spiritual power was strong, but the Demon Beast Mountain Range was so big, and he searched inch by inch, which was not something he could support.
Moreover, it is easy to startle snakes.
Therefore, some small means come in handy.
It took half an hour for Chen Guan to hunt down and kill dozens of descendants of his old friend, the Red Ice Snake King.
I have to say that there are so many of these things, and I like to act in groups of three or five, so it's convenient to hunt.
Digging a cave in the cliff and guarding a puppet, Chen Guan took out the corpse of a red ice snake.
Because of his deliberate control during the hunt, the body was intact.
A dagger appeared in his hand, and he opened a hole under the three inches of the red ice snake with great skill.
The strong spiritual power came out from the center of his eyebrows, and with it as a paintbrush, Chen Guan quickly sketched it in the body of the Red Ice Snake, and in less than ten minutes, a simple puppet array was successfully inscribed.
Leaving a trace of imprint, taking out a first-order demon core and filling it into the puppet array center to provide energy, Chen Guan suddenly felt that he had established a mysterious connection with it.
When I closed my eyes, a radar-like picture appeared in my mind, and I could clearly perceive the energy fluctuations around it.
For example, now, Chen Guan didn't use his own spiritual power, and completely detected with the Red Ice Snake, and found that there was a not very strong energy fluctuation on the mountain cliff, which was about the level of a second-order demonic beast.
In order to verify the accuracy, Chen Guan took out a Douwang-level puppet and went to hunt it, and soon, the puppet returned with a fire fox.
It is indeed a second-order demonic beast!
Satisfied with putting away the corpse of the fire fox, Chen Guan simply sutured the wound of the red ice snake, his mind moved slightly, the dead red ice snake actually moved strangely, if you don't see its wound, just with the naked eye, except for feeling a trace of stiffness in it, everything is no different from the normal red ice snake.
"Although it is a defective product and will be scrapped after one use, it is not bad to be able to detect a kilometer range."
Muttering, letting the Red Ice Snake stay aside, Chen Guan buried himself in hard work and took out the second Red Ice Snake corpse.
What he has now is a special function of the tracing puppet, which can be used to find the way, search for prey, and so on.
It's just that the normal tracer puppet is a second-order puppet, and he's a one-time toy that hasn't entered the ranks.
The orthodox puppet master refining the puppet can be divided into three steps.
First of all, materials are needed to refine the puppet body.
For example, some spirit wood, strange iron, etc., are used to create a shell, and the higher the level of the puppet refined, the more demanding the materials are required.
This step is relatively the easiest step in refining a puppet.
After completing the shell, the second most important step is the most important.
Engrave the puppet array with spiritual power, the puppet array is different, the role of the puppet is not the same, a high-level puppet, the number of puppets in the body is very amazing.
Combat golems are the most complex and common, and for this reason, most of the golems' offensive methods are relatively simple and crude, and they are formatted.
The puppet array, in some ways, is almost the same as the alchemist's pill.
The higher the level of the puppet that is refined, the more puppet arrays need to be engraved, which is an extremely mentally demanding process.
Therefore, at the beginning, Teacher Shu Tianhe said that the puppet master's requirements for soul strength were no worse than those of the alchemist, and even exceeded.
After the inscription of the puppet array, the second step is not the end, at this time it is only equivalent to cutting the side dishes when cooking, you need to hook these puppet arrays together in one go, before the second step is completely completed.
Once the spiritual power can't support the failure of the collusion, the previous efforts will be scrapped, and the engraved puppet array is difficult to maintain for a long time before it is hooked up as a whole, just like the side dishes are expiring at a very fast speed, and if you want to hook up again, you can only start over.
However, one thing that is better than the alchemist is that when refining the puppet, except for some special materials, most of them can be recycled, and there is no need to be like refining medicine, and the medicinal materials will be destroyed and gone.
This is also the reason why Chen Guan was in the stone room at the bottom of the lake, and in the face of the puppet attack, the teacher asked him to demolish it, instead of destroying it completely.
Back to the topic, after successfully connecting all the puppet arrays in the second step, the refining of a puppet can be regarded as a success of ninety out of nine.
The last step is to leave one's own soul imprint to recognize the master, before the eighth order, the puppet will not give birth to autonomous spirituality, and it will be able to succeed directly.
After reaching the eighth order, the puppet has already given birth to its own spirituality, and if it wants to leave a mark for it to completely recognize its master, it will inevitably be troublesome, which is equivalent to the alchemist's steps of becoming a pill.
Of course, there are some special means that can make it easier for you to leave a soul imprint, which is not mentioned for the time being.
It should be noted here that not all puppets need the magic core to provide energy, this method is too dependent on the grade of the magic core, once the energy in it is consumed, the puppet will also be 'dead', and the magic core needs to be replaced.
Moreover, if it is a high-level puppet, there are still requirements for the attributes of the magic core, etc., and there are great restrictions.
Therefore, high-level puppets are all puppets engraved in their bodies to absorb the energy of heaven and earth, so as to achieve self-sufficiency.
Because the puppet array is very energy-consuming, the low-level puppeteers are excited about it, so in the low-grade puppets, almost all of them use the magic core as an energy-driven.
The puppets that Chen Guan demolished at the beginning, although the grade was very low, there was no magic core in his body, because the teacher's spiritual power was strong enough, and he engraved the puppet array that absorbed the energy of heaven and earth.
After all, it is a truth that the same dumplings can only be made with flour by ordinary people, but capitalists can make them with gold.
The trace-finding puppet that Chen Guan is making now uses the corpse of the first-order red ice snake as a ready-made shell, and even the puppet array is simply inscribed, or driven by the first-order demon core, it can be said that it is all garbage patchwork, and the finished product is not enough to enter the rank.
According to his estimates, it will be scrapped after one use, and it is all disposable toys.
However, the Soul Hall Protector used to find and hide is quite practical and not easy to detect, and the Red Ice Snake is too common.
In addition, the serious tracking golem can not only detect within a kilometer range, and the one it makes casually is an exception.
This range is closely related to spiritual power, and this is true for puppets below the eighth order, beyond a certain range, they can no longer be driven.
ps: Take the opportunity to explain my setting about puppetry, try to make it as simple and easy to understand as possible, it feels like it should be very easy to understand, I don't know if you can accept it.
It's a lot of trouble to start a new profession, and there are too many things that need to be perfected, so this is just a brief overview, and I will add more detailed explanations when I use it in the future, including the comparison with the unorthodox puppet technique of the 'crooked way' and so on.
