Chapter 421: The Disguised Puppet

Pfft~

-7073

An arrow stabbed into Wu Zhaodi's back.

Wu Zhaodi was covering the rear, holding her shield, but the arrow flew from the side; caught off guard, it stabbed directly into Wu Zhaodi's side, not the shield.

That single arrow took away about a third of Wu Zhaodi's health, of course because it wasn't blocked by the shield.

However, it's already clear that, although they are also level 60 elite monsters, these puppets' attributes should be much higher than those of the Fallen Elf elites from the Fallen Elf Camp earlier!

Next is…

Back when we faced the Fallen Elf Camp, it was the entire Thousand-Person Team! Now we only have a small squad.

Swish~

Huang Mingxin and Bai Pangpang's Healing Technique landed on Wu Zhaodi almost simultaneously.

"Elf Ranger!" Wu Zhaodi exclaimed.

She quickly turned and stayed alert toward that direction.

Everyone looked in the direction the arrow came from, but saw nothing.

Only a pile of motionless statues.

Su Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Huan Jie, Detection Arrow!"

By now, Lin Huan's Detection Arrow had already cooled down.

Lin Huan immediately understood and fired a Detection Arrow in that direction.

Indeed, an anomaly was detected.

One of the elf "statues" showed up as red!

Screech~

Li Wenwan's reaction was also quick; she immediately unleashed a big skill!

Boom!

-11906!

Phoenix Flame triggered, and the "statue"'s whole body ignited with a faint layer of flames; perhaps knowing it was exposed, it simply didn't hide anymore, and the Elf Ranger "statue" nocked and drew its bow.

Whoosh~

But this time Wu Zhaodi was prepared; she used a Taunt skill to pull aggro, then stepped in front of Li Wenwan and raised her shield to block.

The Defender Knight's Tower Shield is large and heavy; it can completely block frontal attacks, so there's no need to adjust the shield's position.

With two healers behind her and the frontal shield block, Wu Zhaodi managed to hold her ground this time.

All the ranged attackers combined forces and quickly took down the Elf Ranger "statue", which shattered into pieces with a clatter.

"It seems these monsters usually disguise themselves as statues, no wonder Yangyang said the statues move." Bai Pangpang looked at the surrounding statues, feeling a bit wary.

Who knows which of these surrounding statues are monsters; if they don't attack or aren't revealed by Detection Arrow, we can't tell them apart at all.

"So far, only Detection Arrow can reveal them." Su Sheng also had a headache.

With so many statues around, without Detection Arrow, if they don't attack on their own, we really can't tell which are monsters.

"You wait here, I'll go check ahead; that Elf Ranger puppet seems to have dropped something."

Su Sheng also had no idea; he could only take it step by step.

Afterward, Su Sheng rode forward, fortunately the passage between the elf statue formations was wide enough; otherwise Su Sheng wouldn't have been able to fight while mounted.

He arrived at the pile of "parts"; there were two loot items on the ground.

Some Gold Coins and an orange...

Orange... Su Sheng wasn't mistaken; it was precisely because he saw a faint orange glow from afar that he came over.

Would an elite monster drop an orange item? Probably not equipment, after all the earlier boss didn't drop any equipment.

He dismounted, picked up...

As expected...

Main Burial Chamber Map Fragment (orange)

Explanation: The Great Elf's main burial chamber is hidden among these terracotta warriors; only by collecting all the map fragments can we locate the main burial chamber.

Fragment count: 1/100

An orange map fragment, Su Sheng raised his eyebrows, unable to imagine how good the treasures inside the main burial chamber must be.

But we need to collect a hundred of them, and we don't know if the drop rate is 100%.

Su Sheng returned quickly and explained the situation: "After Kong Lang and the others return, we'll hunt these elf statues; only after gathering a hundred fragments can we proceed."

Everyone nodded.

Su Sheng surveyed the surrounding terracotta warriors, but he wasn't overly optimistic.

They're too big, too many of these terracotta warriors.

Su Sheng thought, then thrust his spear forward, aiming at the giant bear statue of the Elf Druid ahead.

Pfft~

Nothing happened; the attack struck the map scenery.

Well...

Soon Chen Guan and Shen Yang also returned.

After a brief discussion, everyone just kept moving forward, no need for a target, just picking a random direction, mainly waiting for Lin Huan's Detection Arrow.

The Detection Arrow has a three‑minute cooldown.

The first Detection Arrow came up empty... it showed only real statues, no monsters.

The second Detection Arrow revealed a bear‑shaped Druid.

Everyone immediately surrounded and beat it to death.

Have to say the bear‑shaped Druid is really tanky, but it's useless—just one, and ten people focusing fire can take it down easily.

No map fragment dropped...

Su Sheng looks a bit disappointed; it's not a 100% drop.

At this rate, I don't know if we'll finish this dungeon before today's game time ends.

Too muggle...

The third arrow came up empty...

Just as everyone arrived at the new area and waited, it was time for Lin Huan's next Detection Arrow.

I don't know what Su Ba suddenly thought of, but he placed a Yin‑Yang Five Thunder Talisman Formation on each of the two Druid formations.

The Yin‑Yang Five Thunder Talisman Formation's range is not small—it can just cover an entire formation.

Boom—

A thunderbolt struck down and actually dealt damage.

Elf mage, puppet!

A cloth‑armor‑looking puppet was smashed into revealing its true form.

"Wow, Dad is awesome!!"

"Can do!"

Others also praised, but without hesitation they launched attack after attack.

"Hehe…" Su Ba chuckled, trying to stay calm as much as possible, but the joy on his face couldn't be hidden.

Easily took down that elf mage puppet, and it dropped an orange light… a map fragment!

"Dad, how did you figure that out?" Lin Huan couldn't help but look at Su Ba and ask.

"Cough cough… Actually I didn't discover it; I was just preparing to swap the Prison Cage Talisman into the Void Talisman Seal, thinking that if I just shoved this Yin‑Yang Five Thunder Talisman in it would be wasteful, so I threw it out." Su Ba said somewhat embarrassedly.

Well, it's just a blind cat hitting a dead mouse.

However, Su Ba's action also gave everyone another idea: AOE skills can directly knock out those puppet statues disguised as statues.

However, it's a pity that although everyone has some AOE skills, aside from ultimates similar to Su Sheng's Demon God Lightning, other regular AOE skills simply don't have as large a range as Su Ba's.

Moreover, randomly throwing guesses, so far we haven't managed to hit one.

However, Lin Huan's Detection Arrow also revealed a scout puppet…
