Chapter 136: Dolls

The current situation is that Zhang Qing doesn't know what the puppet in front of him is, but he doesn't dare to act rashly at all. After thinking for a long time, he was finally ready to take a risk, and first asked for directions.

It's a pity that the ground here is very clean, not to mention the dead wood, even the fallen leaves and weeds are completely invisible, and the large stone roads are spotless, forcing Zhang Qing to rummage through his backpack for a long time, and finally found a small empty porcelain bottle, which can be used as a stone to ask for directions.

He flicked his arm, aiming at the puppet headed by him and throwing the porcelain vase over with all his strength. His position was dozens of feet away from the puppet, and he had enough time to react no matter what changes the other party had.

The hand that took the scalpel was stable enough, so that Zhang Qing would not have problems with accuracy. The porcelain vase flew smoothly towards the doll, and it was about to hit the target.

Zhang Qing was ready to turn around and run, although he had never seen the tricks of this world's mechanism, but since the puppets in the record could automatically ask for the enemy without control, they should react to the attack.

Although he also didn't know how these ancients used wood and metal to do what the earth had to do with sophisticated electronic instruments, isn't this the mystery of this world?

However, what he didn't expect, or couldn't believe, was that the porcelain vase hit the doll directly and was smashed by the impact on the other party's forehead. But none of the eleven puppets responded, and they didn't even move.

"Is this really just a sculpture? I was just fighting wits and courage with the air?" Zhang Qing couldn't help but doubt, if this was really the case, it would be too embarrassing.

But how can there be any reason to place the sculpture in the middle of the road? If these are sculptures, they are completely out of step with the surrounding scenery. Next to it is a flower-filled garden surrounded by a flawless white and finely carved fence.

Looking at these eleven dolls again, the armor and weapons equipped on their bodies are completely practical, and there is no gorgeous decoration in sight, no embodiment of beauty, just a sense of slaughter.

But no matter what, now he has no other way, unless he turns around and leaves, he always has to face it. Even if he wanted to go to other palaces, there were two groups of three outer gods in front of him, and they were probably exploring there.

In contrast, this seemingly unexplored place in front of you is safer.

Zhang Qing gritted his teeth, stepped out of the shadow wall, and moved forward along the road, while staring at the puppet led by the leader without blinking, to prevent the other party from suddenly tricking the corpse.

However, until Zhang Qing came to the place in front of the puppet, they did not move at all, except for the posture of carrying a knife and a gun, there was no danger at all.

His heart finally let go of most of it, and he still cautiously came to the puppet, and carefully began to look the knife-wielding puppet up and down.

I didn't look carefully when I was far away before, but now at a glance, these dolls are really lifelike.

The knife-wielding puppet wears a phoenix-winged red tasseled helmet, and its upper body is underneath a navy blue military uniform, covered with a stainless steel chain mail, and a jujube red smock on its shoulders. The lower body is a battle skirt with armor plates, gray and yellow leggings pants underneath, and a pair of military boots with hideous iron edges on the feet.

At this time, the puppet's facial features are very delicately carved, no different from ordinary people, and even the eyes are black and white, but there is no living look. And the head exposed on the outside of the helmet should be wooden, not painted with thick paint, and there is a faint wood grain on it, which is also the color of the skin that is different from that of humans, so that Zhang Qing can recognize that this is not a real person at first sight.

The doll is eight feet tall, at least a head taller than the current Zhang Qing, it stands with its feet apart, its right hand on its waist, its left hand on the handle of the knife at its waist, its lips slightly pursed, and it looks straight ahead with an expressionless face.

To be honest, Zhang Qing felt that the thing in front of him was not a decorative sculpture, because the sculptures in the palace were basically stone, how could there be such a reason to put the wood carved portrait outside the palace.

But at this time, these figures in front of him were indeed motionless, and he could only guess that it had been too long, although the puppet was well preserved on the outside, but the internal information had been corroded and destroyed, so there was no attack on him.

Zhang Qing shrugged his shoulders, walked around the knife-wielding puppet, walked briskly towards the main hall, and by the way, admired the dress of the ten people behind. These dolls are dressed in the same way as their sword-wielding dolls, except that they do not have an outer layer of jujube red robes, and they also hold spears in their hands.

These dolls are indeed very delicately made, and each of them has a different face, even a different face shape.

Zhang Qing looked curiously as he walked through their queue.

He turned his gaze from the puppets to the closed palace gates, and began to worry again, after all, he had thought that these puppets were guards, and if someone came, it would be impossible to leave no trace, but now it seems that it is a flat horse, and it is very likely that someone has already passed through here and entered the palace.

Just when Zhang Qing guessed whether there was someone in front of him who entered it so easily, he didn't see it, and the knife-wielding puppet behind him suddenly quickly but silently pulled out half of the knife on his waist.

。。。。。。

"Zu Yan, be careful behind your back!" Xi Siming used the long sword in his hand to block the fierce knife of the enemy in front of him, and the tiger's mouth in his right hand was slightly painful, but he finally blocked this blow. As a result, as soon as he turned his head, he saw that Lan Zuyan was besieged by three puppets with guns, and he was very embarrassed to resist, but another puppet quietly stabbed out a shot from the dead corner of his back, so he hurriedly reminded loudly.

When Lan Zuyan heard the reminder, he didn't have time to look back at all, he could already feel the chill on his vest, so he could only risk turning sideways to dodge the spear stabbing in front of him, and at the same time pounced forward, crashing into his body before the gun-wielding puppet on the far right could react, and the two of them lost their balance at the same time.

Fortunately, Lan Zuyan had already prepared, and the puppets in front of him may have been too long in time, and their reactions were a little sluggish, so they finally got out of danger with the help of the puppets, but the vest was still scratched by the spear, leaving a wound that was not shallow or deep.

The experience of the three of them was actually similar to Zhang Qing's, and when they were blocked by the enemy outside, they entered here as the first explorers of the ruins.

However, the scene that the three of them saw after coming in was no different from Zhang Qing, and they were also frightened by the brightly lit square. It's just that when they came in, it wasn't dark outside, but the palace was still full of stars, so the three of them probably understood that the scene inside was disturbed by some reason.

It's just that this is not something that the three students of the innate realm can figure out, plus there is a sense of urgency brought by the competitors outside, so they plan to explore as soon as possible.

In terms of choosing a route, they were not as simple and rude as Zhang Qing, but discussed it as quickly as possible.

Ning Dehai originally proposed to go straight to the main hall to find the divine soldier, but Xi Siming disagreed.

Because he is the one who has read half of the bamboo slip notes in its entirety, he fully understands that the previous senior has entered here several times, but he still hasn't taken the divine weapon that can exude the power of forbidden air, which is enough to know the difficulty of obtaining the divine weapon. And although there is no record of the specific situation in the palace, the caution of the seniors is also reflected between the lines, so he understands that the three of them must not come up and go to the most dangerous place without respecting and violating protection.

And he just noticed that there are three outer gods among the newcomers, which is probably a lot of pressure on Dean Jing, and Jing Buzhi also said that he plans to deal with each other in the ruins, so maybe they will come in after a while.

At that time, the opponent who has the upper hand in numbers on the surface will definitely choose the middle first, and the three of them are likely to face the dilemma of being attacked from front to back.

After listening to Xi Siming's reasoning, Lan Zuyan and Ning Dehai also felt that it was really inappropriate to enter the main hall directly, so they chose one of the left and right halls, and Confucianism respected the right, so the three of them entered the right hall first.
