Chapter 102: Puppets
After barely stabilizing his mind, Ma Chuan released his divine sense to be vigilant around while thinking about countermeasures, and the situation was getting more and more strange.
He had the idea of retreating, even if it made the morale of the army in his heart plummet, his mood was unstable, and the chance of being attacked by the demons in his heart increased greatly, it was better than losing his life in a daze.
Suddenly, Ma Chuan's divine sense probed the place where Qi Shaotian was standing, where a large pit had been melted by the flame talisman, and there was a strange thing in it.
It was a two-inch tall puppet, but it was exactly the same as the Qi Shaotian I had seen before.
Ma Chuan raised his hand, ingested the puppet into his hand out of thin air, and after carefully examining it, he showed a sudden expression.
This puppet is a puppet, the reason why Ma Chuan can see it is naturally that he himself has learned the family heirloom machine technique, and later saw the mechanism beast in the prime minister's tomb that looks like a cow but not a cow, and then when he entered the Shu Kingdom, the three behemoths who chased and killed him.
So he was very curious about this Dao, checked the relevant classics, and learned that there was a puppet technique in the cultivation realm, and the behemoth that chased him was a puppet.
And it was with this technique that the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect occupied a place in the Three Kingdoms Jedi Cultivation Realm.
The biggest difference between a trap beast and a trap golem is that the trap beast uses some ingenuity and complex mechanisms to make the trap beast move, but it can only do some simple actions.
The puppet of the organ in the cultivation realm, although there is the word "organ", it has nothing to do with the organ, mainly using special materials to refine the form of the puppet, or a human or a beast or a bird or a fish.
And when it is small, it is a few inches in size, and when it is large, it is several zhang in size, and it is very flexible and can cast spells.
The reason why the puppet can do this is naturally that when refining, it not only imitates the forms of people, beasts, birds, and fish, but also has a demeanor, that is, Lingtai, Fangcun Mountain, and Mud Pill Palace.
It is also necessary to be able to actually garrison troops, and they are the troops corresponding to the imitation form.
That is, the beast-shaped puppet uses the spirit of the beast.
Bird-shaped puppets use the spirit of birds, fish-shaped puppets use the spirit of fish, but humanoid puppets can use any spirit.
It's just that the more powerful the puppet is, the higher the realm, and the stronger the spirit required.
According to Ma Chuan's own understanding, after killing a demon beast, the extracted spirit is the permanent force on the spiritual platform, and the other three souls of heaven, earth, and man and the troops of the seven vassal states are not wanted.
After the spirit is successfully integrated into the puppet, the Messenger will send one of his powerful soldiers to the Mud Pill Palace in the Puppet, and command the permanent troops on the spirit platform, so as to drive the puppet.
This can also explain why there were more than 600 tiger-shaped troops on the puppet spirit platform before, but there was a humanoid general in the Mud Pill Palace.
As far as Ma Chuan knew, a Foundation Building Realm cultivator could drive dozens of puppets whose strength was equivalent to that of a high-level health practitioner to fight against people. The best in this path can even drive the puppets in the same realm as himself, obviously Qi Shaotian himself is the best in this path, so all the strange situations before can be explained.
All of this flashed quickly in Ma Chuan's mind, thinking of fighting desperately for a long time, and as a result, he took down a puppet, Qi Shaotian himself didn't know where to hide, and was ready to give him a fatal blow at any time.
While secretly guarding against it, he secretly sighed that the Purple Qi Palace really deserved to be one of the best forces in the ancestral continent, and it was so difficult to come out with a foreign affairs deacon.
Just when Ma Chuan was preparing for Qi Shaotian's own sneak attack, a person sprang out of the rockery next to the courtyard wall, and he was angry and directly slapped him with an empty palm.
This slash was not only powerful, but also lightning fast.
Although Ma Chuan was on guard, and it was still an open attack, he didn't have time to dodge, let alone use other defenses, so he could only stretch out the umbrella in his hand and block it in front of him.
The splitting palm scraped a layer of earth, turned into an evil Jiao and pounced on Ma Chuan, and finally crashed into the umbrella.
Although most of the evil Jiao turned into a sky-shading umbrella was consumed by the golden mang, and all the remaining strength hit the umbrella surface, blocking all the strength, but the huge force still knocked the sky-covering umbrella, together with Ma Chuan himself, and flew out upside down, smashed the courtyard wall behind him, and fell deep into the flowers and grass behind the wall.
"Obediently hand over our puppet, and I will give you a soul, otherwise you will be able to taste the various methods of our family to torture the original gods, haha......" The person who came was a thin middle-aged man, with his hair scattered, but he could still see that his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and he was seven or eight points similar to the previous puppet, it was Qi Shaotian himself.
Ma Chuan quickly jumped out of the ground, and looked coldly at Qi Shaotian, who was extremely angry, the previous slash was all blocked by the sky-covering umbrella, and it did not directly hurt him, collapsing the courtyard wall and falling into the ground, which was a minor injury for him, and it was not a big obstacle.
"Demon, don't talk big, the two of us, it's not certain who will let the soul of the other go. Don't you know that the distraction you blended into the puppet was destroyed by me, and now it's not comfortable, isn't it? Ma Chuan naturally used his divine sense to find out the true innate master, and the bottom of Qi shook the sky.
According to Ma Chuan's speculation, Qi Shaotian sent a person who could command the six hundred permanent troops in the puppet, although it was not at the level of three souls, but it could not be an ordinary resident soldier, at least the brigade commander on the Lingtai could be competent.
Qi Shaotian is a congenital master, and the permanent strength on the Lingtai is only more than one brigade, of course, only the brigade commander who was sent out, and now it is lost, and the permanent troops on the Lingtai are not demoralized.
That is to say, Qi Shaotian's state of mind has a flaw, and he may collapse at any time, resulting in negative emotions of fear, doubt, and hesitation, which will affect the play of strength, unable to grasp the fighter, and then die in the hands of the enemy.
Ma Chuan said that Qi Shaotian was not optimistic, of course, in order to stabilize the morale of the permanent troops on his spiritual platform, after all, his own situation was even worse, his mana was less than twenty percent left, and his body was injured and injured, and the innate essence of maintaining the permanent troops on the spiritual platform was only enough to release his divine consciousness once, except for what was necessary.
"Haha, let's let you know how powerful the Golden Bell Jar is. Qi Shaotian barely stabilized his damaged mind and stared at Ma Chuan, after all, a foundation building realm cultivator, he didn't dare to underestimate it.
The two confronted each other seven or eight feet apart, Ma Chuan silently looked at the surrounding environment, thought about countermeasures, and knew that he could only outwit and not fight, otherwise even if he killed Qi Shaotian, he might be attacked by the yellow-robed people who didn't know where to hide.
This is actually a back garden, the two of them are standing near the rockery, but there are also a lot of open places, Ma Chuan has his back to the courtyard wall, at a glance, you can see at a glance the room where the battle began, Qi Shaotian's residence.
