"Many thanks, Chief Xia!"

Luo Ming caught the Condensing Fire Oil, and a look of joy erupted on his face instantly. He hurriedly let Shang Ping and the three stand in front, and after preparing the Condensing Fire Oil, his eyes stared at the giant puppet's arm, and he immediately understood Xia Hong's meaning.

Xia Hong gave him the Condensing Fire Oil, turned his head to look at the west side of the valley, saw the situation of the crowd in the four camps including Dachuan was precarious, and hurriedly called on the six people behind him, Yuan Cheng, and rushed toward that side immediately.

Yuan Cheng and Yue Feng and the six could save their lives in that stone crevice.

It seems that he arrived in time, but in fact, luck accounted for the majority.

After all, they had just broken through to the Woodcutting Realm, not to mention Luo Ge Camp, even the people in the four camps including Dachuan and Huang Zhao had strength much higher than them.

That giant puppet, not to mention its strength, its body size was simply too large, its attack range covered a wide area, and with its terrifying strength, there was almost no pure land in the valley at this moment.

The giant puppet's remaining three limbs, the left arm blocked the Woodcutting Realm people of Luo Ge Camp on the right side of the valley; the two giant pillar-like feet trampled crazily on the Woodcutting Realm people of the four camps including Dachuan.

Before they were trapped in the wooden house, all five camps outside had casualties.

Luo Ge Camp was still okay, they had three or four iron tools in their hands, which could resist for a while;

The other four camps were not good. Their own strength was slightly inferior, and they didn't have a single iron tool in their hands. In just a while, seven had already died, and only sixteen remained.

These sixteen people were still struggling to survive under the feet of the giant puppet.

Peng...

"Old Huang, hasn't the entrance been opened yet?"

Hong Gang narrowly took his son to dodge the giant puppet's right foot, turned sideways and shouted anxiously to Huang Yong behind him.

They were all on the west side of the valley, which was the position close to the entrance.

Huang Yong was taking five people to move the large stones blocking the entrance. Hearing Hong Gang's anxious voice, he didn't dare to stop the movement on his hands, and could only shout back: "The stones are too big and too many, they can't be moved for a while, you hold on for a while!"

Hearing this, Hong Gang grabbed a gap and looked back, seeing that the gravel pile had only been cleared by a small half, and a trace of despair rose in his heart instantly.

The four wooden houses merged into this giant puppet just now. Realizing that everyone together was not the opponent of the wood puppet, they scattered and fled immediately. Luo Ge Camp chose the left side, Great Xia's six chose the right side, and he and the people of the four camps including Huang Zhao chose the exit side, which was the west side.

This choice was no problem. The giant puppet's strength was so terrifying, staying in the valley was definitely a dead end. Running directly toward the exit direction was naturally safe.

But the problem was, as soon as they ran, the giant puppet guessed their intention, directly punched the mountain body above the valley entrance, countless stones fell, and directly blocked the entrance tightly.

The hope of direct escape was shattered. Although they were desperate, they quickly thought of a countermeasure, continuing to divide people into two waves, he and Lu He took people to contain the giant puppet's legs, while Huang Yong and Chen Ying took five people to clean up the stones at the entrance.

The idea was naturally no problem, but when it was implemented, they found how difficult it was.

The giant puppet's strength was too strong. Originally, including him, there were sixteen people responsible for containment, but in just a while, six died, and now only ten remained.

For such a long time, the entrance was only cleared by a small half, and they had already died six people. By the time the entrance was cleared, I'm afraid all of them would be dead.

No, must think of a way.

Otherwise, call Old Huang and the seven back, and fight this giant puppet!

"Father!"

The loud reminder of his son Hong Mu woke up the dazed Hong Gang.

He looked up abruptly and found that the giant puppet's huge right foot had trampled from the top of his head. The violent force brought the airflow above his head and pressed down, and the momentum was terrifying.

A trace of despair crossed Hong Gang's eyes. If this foot came down, his end would definitely be the same as the six who died before, being trampled into meat mud.

"Move away, Father!"

At the critical moment, his son Hong Mu rushed over from the side and knocked him flying for four or five meters.

"Idiot, who told you to save me... Mu'er!"

Hong Gang hadn't landed yet, and scolded angrily in mid-air, blaming his son for saving him.

But watching the giant puppet's big foot trample down on his son, a look of panic finally appeared on his face, and the full anger turned into heartbreak, and he shouted his son's name sorrowfully.

Peng...

The giant puppet's big foot trampled down without suspense, almost sticking to the ground.

This foot not only made the surrounding ground tremble, but also tore Hong Gang's heart into four or five pieces.

"Ah... Mu'er..."

Hong Gang had lived for so many years, and the one he was most proud of was his son Hong Mu.

A twenty-four-year-old Woodcutting Realm, looking at all the camps around Red Wood Ridge, is definitely a leader. Most of the reason for this is that Hong Gang gave up his own cultivation. As long as there was cold beast meat, he gave it to his son first.

Such a carefully cultivated son died in front of his eyes.

One could imagine his mood.

"Father, I'm fine!"

A voice came from under the giant puppet's foot, which made Hong Gang pause, and he couldn't believe it in his heart. But looking up, the sorrow on his face turned into deep joy instantly.

That giant puppet suddenly separated a part on the ground, and then pulled back its foot.

The separated part actually ignited out of thin air on the ground.

Peng...

That part of the wood was pushed away from the ground by someone, and two figures appeared in front of Hong Gang instantly.

Seeing Hong Mu only vomiting blood and still alive, Hong Gang was full of joy, then turned to look at the person holding the knife beside him, and bowed solemnly:

"Chief Xia, great kindness is not spoken of, I will not refuse to die if there is any instruction in the future!"

Thinking that Xia Hong didn't know him yet, Hong Gang hurriedly added a sentence behind:

"I am Hong Gang, Chief of Dachuan Camp."

The one who saved Hong Mu was naturally Xia Hong who had just rushed over.

Xia Hong waved his hand at Hong Gang and smiled bitterly: "Whether there is a future is still two things. I didn't come to save him on purpose, Chief Hong doesn't need to be like this."

Hong Gang knew it was not the time to talk, so he didn't speak, just stepped forward to take his son over, looking at Xia Hong, the gratitude in his eyes still didn't decrease.

And Xia Hong, at this time, focused all his attention on the giant wood puppet.

He rushed over just now, really not to save Hong Mu.

Risking his life to save a person he didn't know, he wasn't that noble.

His goal was the giant wood puppet.

When rushing over here just now, he noticed that the giant wood puppet with its right arm slashed off only had legs and a left arm, and its movements were a bit deformed.

This made him realize that destroying the key parts of the giant wood puppet's limbs should be able to indirectly affect the Wood Puppet Strange's control, so he raised his knife and drilled under the giant wood puppet's feet, using the remaining Condensing Fire Oil on the knife to destroy its foot balance.

Saving Hong Mu was just incidental.

Sure enough, the facts were just as he had imagined.

After the giant wood puppet separated a part of its foot, its two legs became more uncoordinated, the trampling action began to deform, and its strength was far from before.

And on the other side, Luo Ming, who received Condensing Fire Oil, accurately grasped this opportunity. Like Xia Hong just now, he climbed up the giant wood puppet's left arm, found the thinnest part, and slashed down, all in one go.

The broken left arm could still vaguely see many transparent white lines.

Those white lines were stained with Condensing Fire Oil on Luo Ming's knife, and suddenly burst into bursts of sparks, splashing everywhere.

The giant puppet had just been destroyed its right foot by Xia Hong, and it was already extremely uncoordinated. At this moment, its left arm broke, and its body immediately swayed from side to side.

Luo Ming naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. He rushed toward the giant wood puppet's head along the part of the left arm that hadn't broken yet.

Just as he was about to reach the head, he threw the last bit of Condensing Fire Oil in his hand toward the giant wood puppet's face, and the big knife slashed, following closely behind.

Condensing Fire Oil was broken, and it splashed the giant wood puppet's face instantly. The flames rose fiercely, and as Luo Ming's blade slashed into the head, those flames also went deep into the giant wood puppet's skull together.

"Ah..."

A slightly angry old voice came from above the valley.

Xia Hong looked up, and his eyes became incomparably solemn instantly.

Although this voice was old, the strange feeling of wood chips rubbing, both hoarse and harsh, was something he was too familiar with.

The Wood Puppet Strange had finally revealed its true form!
