Chapter 44: The Puppet
DuPont didn't care what Horn thought, he had to cultivate in his own way when he came here, and as for life and death, that was not his concern. Immediately shouted: "Are you ready?"
This sound was like a thunderbolt, which startled Horn, and without thinking about it, he said, "Okay......"
Dupont nodded, and then ordered the huge and powerful puppet behind him, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing Sensen's white teeth, and said with a sneer: "Beat ...... to death"
Suddenly, the puppet's hollow eyes flashed with blood-red light. The huge body leaped into the air and jumped directly above Horn's head. The huge body blocked the sun in the sky, and smashed into Horn like Tarzan pressing on the top.
This sudden change made Horn unable to react. Look at the momentum of that puppet, if it is hit, it will be a bad thing. I wanted to dodge, but I found that the armor on my body affected my speed. As a last resort, he hurriedly fell to the ground, and the wolf rolled on the ground a few times before he broke out of the puppet's attack range.
"Bang" The earth trembled, and a small pit was smashed into the ground by the puppet. Fortunately, the puppet was clumsy and didn't attack right away.
Horn hurriedly took a few more steps, and directly scolded Dupont in his heart, and at the same time thought about how to deal with the puppet in front of him. Demon steel is a very hard material, and it can't be pierced with the ordinary steel long sword in his hand. A very hard and sharp weapon is required. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but touch the "change" that had become a state of wrist guards. This ever-changing sword is incredibly hard, and if it were transformed into a long sword, it should be able to pierce through the magic steel. However, the armor on his body is too heavy, and it is estimated that when he penetrates the magic steel, he will also be hit by the puppet.
Just as he was about to take off his armor and transform the "Variety" in his hand into a long sword. Dupont's demonic voice was heard in the distance: "Remember, you are not allowed to take off your armor." At the same time, I will sue you, if you destroy the puppet, then you will have to compensate me, I paid 20,000 gold coins to get this thing......"
Horn was dumbfounded, he couldn't take off his armor and was barely acceptable, but if he didn't destroy the puppet, how could he subdue the puppet? If he really destroyed the puppet, he would have to compensate DuPont 20,000 gold coins. And seeing that DuPont doesn't look like a joke, if he really wants to destroy the puppet, DuPont will definitely not let him go.
I couldn't help but shout anxiously: "Can't destroy it, do I have to be beaten all the time?"
Dupont looked at Horn dodging left and right, stroking the ring on his finger in his hand, and replied unhurriedly: "I can't take care of this, you can do it yourself." If you really can't stand it, you can destroy the puppet, but remember to prepare 20,000 gold coins...... Hey hey ......"
With that, he walked towards the castle and disappeared into it in a short time.
Only Horn was left messy in the wind, this DuPont was really not ordinary ruthless, and it was about to drive Horn to a dead end. Horn scolded DuPont in his heart. But there is no way but to deal with the puppet's attack carefully.
The weight of the armor, the speed of Horn who is strictly limited, if in normal times, although the puppet is powerful, the speed is not good. It's easy to dodge, after all, this kind of puppet is made for siege, and siege only requires a strong shell and strong destructive power, and speed is not a necessary part.
The puppet waved its arm, and a sweep swept over with the sound of whirring wind. This momentum will be troublesome if it is swept away.
Horn had no way to dodge at this point. Under the crisis, his feet jumped with all his strength, but his body was too heavy, so he only jumped a short section, recovered his hands, and protected them on his chest.
"When", Horn felt his blood surge, his eyes turned black, and his whole body flew out with the puppet's arm. Far from the ground. It took Horn a moment to recover, a fishy smell at the corners of his mouth, and his internal organs were injured from the blow just now. Fortunately, he jumped backwards at the moment of impact just now and defused some of the force, otherwise he would have been hurt even more.
Now, Horn finally understood the power of this siege weapon, this armor is adding its own weight, and it was swept out by the puppet one or twenty meters away, this is still not smashed, if it is smashed, it is estimated that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot.
Hurriedly got up, began to drag the heavy body hard, and circled around the puppet, not daring to make any more contact with the puppet. That's it, and I was chased by that puppet all over the field.
On the playground centered on the castle, two clumsy figures, one large and one small, are mechanically moving, like slow motion, chasing each other.
Horn was panting, the sweat was already wet and dry, dry and wet, his body was stained with white crystals, and the muscles in his body were sore at the beginning, and he was directly numb at the end. Horn felt like a puppet on the verge of falling apart, moving mechanically and threatening to break at any moment.
The puppets in the back are powered by a magic array, so they don't get tired at all. Still chasing with clumsy speed and action. As long as the magic array remains, then it will always be chased.
Time passed minute by minute, from morning to noon. Horn only felt that he had reached his limit, and his feet staggered, but he relied on his tenacious will to stand firm.
But for this delay, the puppet behind has already chased after it. The steel arm slammed down on Horn, who heard the wind whistling like death behind him, and wanted to dodge, but his body was completely disobedient. I thought "it's over", and then I only felt that my back was like being trampled on by an elephant, and my head was covered and the whole person fainted.
While fainting, I only heard a voice from afar: "Stop......"
In the darkness, Horn returned to the space of consciousness, and countless scenes flashed through his head, from the time he was born, one grid after another. It's like watching a movie that is playing at a faster pace, my father's graying hair and more and more wrinkles on his forehead. Bass's smile, Libyst's dying fear......
Finally, Tropos's gaze under the stars continues with the intimacy of Tropos and Ezreal. Horn felt an indescribable pang. I tried hard to delete the scene, but I couldn't do it. He only felt his consciousness becoming more and more blurred, and his body sank into the bottomless abyss......
"Ah......h Looking around, I realized that I was in a room made of bluestone. There was nothing in the room except the stone bed on which he was lying. I couldn't help wiping a cold sweat and realized that it was just a dream just now.
"Where is this," Horn thought. All he remembered was being hit by the puppet at the end, and then there was a "stop" sound, and that voice was Dupont's voice. Then it was Dupont who stopped the puppet's pursuit, and it seems that he should still be on the stone pillar, and the most likely place is in the castle where Dupont lives.
When you know where you are, you settle down. Move your body to get out of bed. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the body. It was as if the whole body had been trampled on by a giant beast, and it hurt everywhere. At that moment, I couldn't help but scream "oops", and I lay down.
At this moment, there was a "squeak", and the dilapidated door in the stone house was pushed open.
Horn turned his head to see that it was an old man entered, gray, disheveled, with all kinds of smudges stuck to his hairline, wearing a gray robe covered with red and green stains, and thick eyebrows that went straight to the sideburns. A pair of gray eyes covered with bloodshots, mean lips, a nose like a hook, a rigid face, especially those thin hands like chicken feet, long nails covered with dirt, I don't know how many times I haven't washed them.
The gray-robed old man walked up to Horn's bed, and Horn looked at him and asked, "Who are you? Where am I? Is this Mr. Dupont's castle?"
The gray-robed old man didn't answer at all, still with a rigid expression. Stretch out those two smudged hands and squeeze Horn's body. With each pinch, Horn's face turned pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed. The muscles that were already in pain were even more painful, and finally I couldn't help but scream: "Hey...... You tap, what are you pinching me for, don't pinch it...... Yikes......"
The gray-robed old man didn't care about Horn's strange screams at all, and pinched it from head to foot, before he let go of his hand and snorted coldly, rolled his gray eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "What's it called, Master Ben is looking to see if you're injured, what's your name...... You're all right, get out of here......"
After saying that, he walked straight out.
Horn was confused, this strange old man, came in and squeezed himself around and left. I probably understood that I was looking to see if I was hurt, but I didn't answer my own question. No matter how much Horn shouted, he didn't answer.
After shouting for a while, Horn also fell silent. After staying in bed for a long time, he began to resist the pain and walked down. Every step is a heart-wrenching pain. I finally got out of the stone house. I found myself in a relatively large room. The room was full of clutter, and the shelves were filled with all sorts of strange things, and Horn even saw several animal specimens. And the room was filled with a foul smell, all kinds of stenchs mixed together, which made people sick. Horn even saw a bloody animal corpse on a real platform in the room, with its entire fur peeled and completely dissected. Although Horn had also killed people and seen all kinds of bloody scenes, such a disgusting sight also made his scalp explode.
Horn looked around, and there was a small passage in the opposite corner. I was about to walk there. Suddenly, a voice came from the corner, "Hey...... Aren't you the new guy?"
Horn was taken aback, hurriedly looked around, and said, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Justin, we only met yesterday on the stone pillar outside, and you're Horn. The voice came from another corner.
