Chapter 1242: Wronged Souls and Puppets

Inside the second floor of the Tower of Ten Thousand Ghosts.

After Lei Luo walked up to the second floor from the circular staircase on one side, with the sound of a mechanism turning, the entrance to the second floor where the circular staircase was located actually slowly closed.

"Isn't that going to let me go?" he said, with a strange expression.

At the same time, inside the second floor of the main hall.

The sound of "Teng Teng Teng" sounded again, and above the surrounding halls, countless faint blue fires lit up, and the outline of the entire hall finally came into his eyes.

Unlike the first floor, there was something extra in the hall on the second floor, and that was an unknown armored figure.

When Lei Luo approached these figures with his divine sense, he realized that they were all puppets, and they were all in an inactive state.

"Are there puppets here?" he wondered.

Looking at the puppets around him, each of them was in human form, wearing armor all over his body, like a strong man with a fine iron body, his body was burly and tall, and the heavy sword and power axe in his hand were also flashing with a faint cold light.

I don't know why the builder of this place set the puppet on the second layer of this Ten Thousand Ghost Tower, or if the other party will place some puppets from the second layer onwards, and it will not be possible to guard this place.

However, to Lei Luo's surprise, these puppets have been placed here for an unknown amount of time, and there is no spirit stone drive in their bodies, so they should not be able to activate.

He walked through the area a little speechless, then searched for the entrance that continued upward, only to scan it and there seemed to be no exit to the entire second floor.

"It's strange, the second floor doesn't go up the stairs to the third floor, so how do I go up?" he pouted.

Fortunately, when the Heavenly Infinite Road, or the Ten Thousand Ghost Tower, heard his complaint, there was immediately a slight change.

The sound of "woo woo woo" appeared, and I saw that around the hall on the second floor of the Ten Thousand Ghost Tower, countless unjust souls flew out from the palace wall, and then converged to the center of the second floor of the hall.

These unjust souls appeared again for some reason, but after they appeared, they all gathered in one place and circled, and the temperature of the entire hall also plummeted after the appearance of the unjust souls, and it was much colder.

"Wronged souls, puppets, is it?" Lei Luo looked at the wronged souls above the center of the main hall, and then looked at the puppets around him, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

The truth was indeed as he thought, when the unjust spirits around the temple wall no longer appeared, these unjust spirits seemed to have been instructed, and they all flew towards the surrounding puppets.

These humanoid golems were possessed by the spirits that were several times their size, and all of them lit up with layers of blue demonic light, and then the arms or feet that should have been unable to move suddenly moved.

"Click, click", a series of friction sounds, and the sound of collision sounded.

I saw that around the main hall, countless puppets armed with heavy swords, power axes, shields and even meteor hammers walked towards Lei Luo step by step, as if the guards had discovered an intruder.

"Whew!" a wind sounded.

It turned out that it was a guard puppet behind him who couldn't wait to attack, and its weapon was the meteor hammer in its hand.

With a "bang" explosion, the meteor hammer exploded the moment it hit Lei Luo, completely shattering into countless pieces.

"This weapon probably has the strength of a high-grade magic weapon, and the attack power is about the foundation building period, so there is no threat to me!"

Lei Luo moved his shoulders as he estimated the attack power of the move just now, and finally came to the conclusion that he didn't need to pay attention to it at all.

Having said that, he slowly walked up to one of the puppets, and then threw a punch that shattered the puppet with his sword raised and ready to slash.

The puppet's hands with its heavy sword in high fell to the ground, and its body exploded completely, and countless unjust souls flew out of its body, and finally flew into the other puppets around it.

"The strength of the puppet is limited by the level of the puppet, so even if you can control his unjust soul, your strength cannot be enhanced!" Lei Luo said calmly after looking at the puppets on both sides of the unjust soul flying in.

Although the manufacture of puppets is cumbersome, as long as you understand the method, you can even make them in large batches with the joint efforts of many refiners, so that you will immediately have a powerful army.

However, there are convenient places for puppets, and naturally there are also disadvantages, that is, limited by the materials and techniques of refining, a fourth-level puppet can only have the strength of the late stage of foundation building, and there is no way to upgrade to the Jindan stage advancement.

Similarly, no matter how strong a seventh-level puppet is, it can't be upgraded to the eighth-level realm that can be compared to the realm of the shape-shifting demon beast and the Yuanying Monk, and the upper limit of the puppet's strength has been decided the moment it is created.

These puppets around are all the strength of the foundation building stage, even if there are hundreds of unjust souls in one puppet, its strength cannot be increased to the strength of the Jindan stage.

However, Lei Luo found that when there were more unjust spirits flying in, the puppet was more flexible than the other puppets.

However, this is understandable, and even if it is flexible, the strength is still the foundation building period.

The bombardment sound of "bang bang bang" sounded, and Lei Luo simply relied on the strength of his body to engage in hand-to-hand combat here.

No matter how much the puppet action around them increased, because of the impact of the upper limit, they could not withstand the force of his punch, and they turned into crumbs one after another under the fist.

After the puppet is completely scrapped, the unjust soul in the puppet will fly into the other puppets around it, and the puppet will act a little more flexibly than before after the unjust soul possesses the character, but it will not affect the fate of being shattered by a punch.

After fighting like this for a quarter of an hour, Lei Luo looked around with an indifferent face, and the ground of the entire second-layer hall was littered with puppet fragments.

In the sky above the center of the main hall, countless unjust spirits gathered together, and then they all flew towards the surroundings of the main hall, and disappeared into the main hall in a short time.

The sound of a "click" sounded again.

I saw that on the corner side of the main hall, a circular staircase descended from the sky, and appeared in front of Lei Luo like a mechanism.

"It seems that after defeating the guards on the second layer, I will be able to go up, how does this prohibition feel like I am breaking through the level, and now that I have passed the level, the passage will appear!" he complained.

However, his figure still walked towards the circular staircase of the second floor, and soon walked up the staircase and left the second floor.

The sound of a "click" sounded again, and the second staircase quickly pulled upwards, as if the retreat would be blocked as the passer left the place.

The third floor of the Tower of Ten Thousand Ghosts.

It was still pitch black, but Lei Luo had expected it, and it wasn't even surprising at all.

He walked slowly to the center of the hall on the third floor, and as he advanced, clouds of dark blue flames lit up rapidly above the halls around him.

After a while, the entire third floor hall appeared in its entirety.

Lei Luo looked around, and found that there were many beast-shaped puppets in the hall this time, and that appearance was very similar to what he had encountered in the Yin Yang Cave overseas.

"Could it be that after that Yin Yang Venerable betrayed the Hehuan Sect back then, he joined the Huangquan Sect and learned the puppet technique here?" Lei Luo guessed curiously.

Not long after, a gust of yin wind howled, and on the walls of the hall around the main hall, countless unjust souls reappeared.

Lei Luo was not surprised to see them appear, and watched them burrow into the surrounding golems.

In a burst of "creaking" sounds, all the surrounding humanoid and beast-shaped golems activated and launched an attack on the only living person in the main hall.

With a strange look on his face, Lei Luo moved his right arm slightly, and rushed towards the fastest cheetah-like golem.

"Bang" under his punch, the flying cheetah puppet was shattered by a punch, and countless unjust souls flew out of the puppet's body, and then burrowed into the bodies of several other puppets.

But no matter how many unjust souls those puppets drilled into, they couldn't change their fate of being shattered by a punch in the end.

After another cup of tea, all the puppets on the third layer were reduced to fragments, which also indicated that there were no puppet guards above the third layer.

The sound of a "click" mechanism turning, and the entrance appears.

With a bored expression, Lei Luo stepped up the circular staircase that appeared on the third floor, and then followed the staircase up to the fourth floor of the Ten Thousand Ghost Tower.

Above the fourth layer, he was attacked by flying golems, and the strength of these puppets was also a little stronger, but it was still the strength of the foundation building period.

Under Lei Luo's fist, it took a quarter of an hour to clean up the puppet on the fourth layer this time.

As the soul flew out of the fourth floor of the main hall, this place was completely silent, and in the corner of the main hall, the sound of the mechanism was heard, and the circular staircase descended rapidly.

Lei Luo stepped up the stairs without any surprise, and then - entered the fifth level of the Tower of Ten Thousand Ghosts.

Within the fifth layer, he slightly glanced at a silver humanoid armor in front of him.

This armor stood with a sword in the center of the main hall, and there were no other puppets around the main hall, which means that there was only one such puppet in the fifth layer.

And as the souls above the main hall flew into this puppet one after another, the dark blue light around the puppet flickered, and at the same time, a strong aura that was not weaker than the early Jindan monks scattered out.

"This puppet is from the Jindan period?" said Lei Luo with some surprise.

However, as a strong wind struck, the silver golem slashed with a heavy sword, which also signaled the beginning of this battle.

With a bang, Lei Luo maintained a one-handed punch posture, and the silver puppet exploded and flew out in an instant.

Although this silver puppet has good strength and a high degree of flexibility in its body, it is only the strength of the early stage of Jindan after all, and naturally it cannot be the opponent of the peak cultivator in the late Yuan Infant period.

Lei Luo still easily dealt with it with one punch, and after the puppet was shattered, all the unjust souls around him flew out and converged on the center of the main hall.

However, this time, the unjust soul did not escape again, but after condensing in mid-air, it turned into a cloud of yin wind and roared, and actually chose to attack Lei Luo.

"Whew-" A tiger roar sounded.

The unjust souls that rushed down came to a halt in an instant, as if they had suffered some great shock, and their formless bodies all trembled.

A blood-colored tiger head appeared, and with a big gulp, the souls in the distance were sucked into the tiger's mouth by the huge suction force before they could escape.

As the blood basin of the tiger head closed its mouth, and then chewed, these unjust souls completely lost their lives.

When the unjust soul was also destroyed, the evil qi around Lei Luo's body quickly disappeared, and at the same time, the sound of the mechanism turning came from a corner of the main hall.

"It's strange, could it be that this time the unjust souls are also guards, and they must all be solved before they can be cleared?" he muttered with a strange expression.

However, as he stepped up the circular staircase from above, the fifth level returned to its dark silence, and he set off towards the sixth level.
