Chapter 1615: Heartless Child

Dong Rui was still chattering. As a wounded person lying in the Ghost Ape's arms with a broken arm, his spirit seemed exceptionally excited.

"The body of this demon puppet of yours is made of earth and stone, not a living body! But there are bones inside, and it smells of expired divine blood!" Not just mud and stone, he had also seen dark copper-colored bones from the finger fragments of Ashmona just now.

A mud-sculpted body, Heavenly Demon's remains, and refined with divine blood. As a puppet, it's luxurious.

But these weren't living things, and weren't the base materials Cao Wendao mentioned.

What was the main base that allowed Ashmona to act and fight? Ordinary metal puppets, such as He Lingchuan's Golden Armored Copper General, added the beast soul of a monster as the center; but Ashmona's center came from the Howling Forest. What monsters could survive there? But its characteristic of freely merging body fragments was indeed very similar to earth puppets.

"Hmm, earth puppet?"

Cao Wendao frowned. It wasn't far off, this kid was quite smart.

He was distracted, and the bat demon puppet opened a blood wound on his arm, the wound very deep, almost visible to the bone.

But Ashmona's attack also became more fierce, flying up and slapping the Ghost Ape on the shoulder, regardless of being directly knocked away by the stick.

The Ghost Ape's shoulder armor shattered, and there were two more blood marks on its shoulder.

Bad, it saw blood.

The petrification technique began to spread, and the skin near the wound turned blue-gray.

The Ghost Ape roared, ignoring the pain, and quickly dug out a whole piece of flesh from its shoulder, throwing it to the ground.

Ten breaths later, this piece of flesh turned into stone.

If it had to cut meat every time it was touched by the enemy, it would be too difficult for it.

So Dong Rui grabbed a small bottle of divine blood from his robe. The Ghost Ape took it and was too lazy to open the lid, directly throwing it into its mouth and chewing the bottle together.

For these demon puppets, properly prepared divine blood is the best tonic for healing, containing incomparably abundant life energy.

Cao Wendao's disciples never enjoyed such luxurious treatment; the master only issued small pills.

The Ghost Ape ate the divine blood, its spirit refreshed, and the wounds on its shoulders and palms healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And at this time, Cao Wendao raised the pestle for subduing demons to force back the bat demon puppet, and roared: "Hey, still dare to be lazy?"

How long would his demon puppet be lazy! Ashmona's movements paused, but the gold rings jingled incessantly, each sound a urging. It shook its head, having to dig a handful of mud from its body in the chaos, press it hard on the ground, and then mutter two sentences.

Dong Rui pricked up his ears to listen, and after distinguishing, hmm, Heavenly Demon language.

Many stone tablets and utensils in the Ghost King's underground palace were engraved with Heavenly Demon language. Those were things sent by immortals to True Person Minghui back then. Dong Rui learned by comparing them and understood a few words.

Speaking of which, "Ashmona" was also a Heavenly Demon word, meaning "heartless child," referring to being naughty.

Looking at the gray robe's current appearance, this name was truly ironic.

Blue light flashed on the ground, arching up small mounds of earth, turning into earth puppets in a blink, big and small, strange and varied, but all with blue light in their eyes.

Ashmona pointed at Cao Wendao, and the earth puppets rushed over.

They were quite agile, without the clumsiness of ordinary earth puppets. Several jumped halfway to attack the bat demon puppet, their movements no worse than real wolf monsters.

In the blink of an eye, the numerical advantage of both sides reversed. Dong Rui only had three demon puppets, but the opponent had more than forty, including demon puppets and summoned objects! Dong Rui suddenly said: "Go."

Originally it was the Ghost Ape and Ashmona fighting, and the bat demon puppet fighting Cao Wendao. He gave the order, and the Ghost Ape twirled the stick, turned around, accelerated, and jumped, crossing a distance of five yards, and landed on Cao Wendao's battlefield with a "bang."

It landed like a cannonball, shaking down a patch of earth puppets, and five of the big ones were shattered on the spot.

Of course, blue light flashed on the ground, and the fragments reorganized, and soon the earth puppets stood up and continued to attack.

Cao Wendao also couldn't stand firm, fortunately Ashmona arrived instantly, protecting him.

Dong Rui gave instructions to the two demon puppets: You two swap opponents.

Although the bat demon puppet had some fear of Ashmona, it still rushed to kill without hesitation!

The Ghost Ape swung its heavy club directly at Cao Wendao, delivering three consecutive vertical strikes.

The "three axes" upon meeting came again.

Its weapon was heavy and powerful, driving the wind to whistle. Before the stick arrived, Cao Wendao's sideburns were already lifted.

The ape puppet's stick, where could Cao Wendao take it? Even the weapon didn't dare to intersect.

In the end, Ashmona took all of it, and it had to take all the moves the two demon puppets made.

Dong Rui watched intently.

Cao Wendao was holding the pestle for subduing demons, preferring to retreat, and didn't dare to collide head-on with the Ghost Ape's stick, right? Didn't dare to at all.

Even so, Ashmona not only didn't fall into a disadvantage, but fought more and more bravely!

Dong Rui had a bad feeling that Ashmona was growing rapidly in battle, its strength becoming more powerful, its reaction faster, and its use of divine arts becoming more proficient; conversely, did Cao Wendao rarely release it in the past?

Just at this time, Dong Rui suddenly felt something.

Finally, it wasn't easy.

He immediately pursed his lips and made a strange sound:

"Tsk, tsk tsk tsk tsk~!"

People in the countryside call cats and dogs like this.

Who was he calling? Cao Wendao didn't know why. This peer was too noisy, even if he was injured, he couldn't let his mouth stop for a moment. His disciples were always quiet, and none of them were like Wei Yishan.

However, in the next second, Ashmona, who had just stood up, suddenly began to blur, just like Cao Wendao shaking the pestle for subduing demons just now.

Cao Wendao was stunned, knowing that this was the performance of Ashmona suffering an attack or punishment.

But the pestle for subduing demons was well in his hand, and there was no external object attacking Ashmona here...

Wait, no external object.

Could it be?

Ashmona suddenly let out a roar, and Cao Wendao actually felt its pain.

Then its belly rumbled like a drum, and Dong Rui saw Ashmona's belly suddenly crack, accompanied by a crisp sound, cracking a long, narrow break.

Immediately after, a pair of claws stretched out, ten long claw nails grabbing the gray robe's belly, pulling outward hard—

This thing was still half-covered by Ashmona's belly, but it revealed a pair of blood-red eyes, staring straight at Cao Wendao.

That gaze made his scalp numb.

In the next second, this thing "swoosh" rushed out! Both Demon Puppeteers considered themselves well-informed, but they had never seen such a scene—a demon puppet drilling out of another demon puppet's belly, and the two had no blood relationship.

The three earth puppets blocking in front of Cao Wendao were still fine, but Cao Wendao discovered a red shadow and a big mouth occupying his field of vision. ===== CHAPTER 1616 =====
