Chapter 161: Nascent Soul Stage Enemy

161. Chapter 161: Nascent Soul Stage Enemy

Luo Yao directly copied this spell and supernatural ability several times, giving one copy each to Fang Qingyan and Xi Lan.

"If we encounter something we don't understand later, we can discuss it with each other."

Fang Qingyan and the other two finally nodded and put away the Jade Slips.

The current situation is not suitable for cultivation; we will deal with it when we return.

The three women continued walking forward. Liu Yizhou took one Passage, so they took the other.

Walking along the Passage, all three women were fully alert, as the crisis of the insects that appeared in the Passage just now was still vivid in their minds.

Fortunately, no crisis appeared this time.

"Did you notice? That Puppet disappeared only after walking five steps, which means..."

Only the Qiding Sect probably has such financial resources.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the Puppet seemed to collide with something, and then the entire figure vanished from its original spot.

Seeing this, Xi Lan was not surprised; obviously, either she also had a Space Magic Treasure on her person, or she had seen it so many times she was used to it.

Fang Qingyan took out a Puppet and controlled it to walk toward the Statue, while Luo Yao and the others held their breath, staring fixedly at that Puppet.

If this attempt fails, we will wait until tomorrow for the Golden Finger to refresh.

"This..."

Luo Yao spoke up, then looked at Fang Qingyan and the other two, "Wait for me a moment."

The others also thought of this problem and stopped Fang Qingyan from wanting to use a Golden Core Peak Stage Puppet to probe.

Fang Qingyan was somewhat worried; she thought that when Luo Yao reappeared, she would tell her to give up this time and come back after Liu Yizhou and his group had left.

No, or rather, there is still one Golden Core Stage Puppet left.

"Then I will let the Puppet try."

To obtain the treasure, we must solve the problem before us.

"I will go outside to guard."

Luo Yao and the others' faces changed; they turned to look at Fang Qingyan, who also spoke with a grim face, "The Puppet seems to have entered another space; there is a monster inside..."

Liu Yizhou and the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator by his side could appear at any moment.

However, as long as we are not within that range, it will be fine.

Fang Qingyan sighed, "But we no longer have enough Puppets."

Fang Qingyan quickly took out ten Puppets. "I cannot control that many alone; let's each try controlling three."

Therefore, the group quickly came up with a plan: use the Puppets to probe the boundaries of that Unknown Space.

The group safely arrived inside a great hall.

Then she vanished from her original spot, obviously entering a Space Magic Treasure.

She had Puppets in her Storage Bag that Fang Qingyan had given her when they were at the Xuanyuan Sect; she had hardly used them, and their strength was too weak, not even as good as Xiao Kui, so she had never used them.

It was indeed very terrifying; its entire body was pitch black, and it only spat out a breath of air before that Puppet turned into nothingness.

Xi Lan and the other two said in unison.

Therefore, they must obtain the treasure as quickly as possible and then leave.

Obviously, as soon as they walk into a certain range, they will be sucked into that Unknown Space to face that terrifying Nascent Soul Stage monster.

"I understand."

Luo Yao couldn't help but speak up; looking at the Statue in this place, does that not mean this is the core of the Cave Abode?

The problem arises again.

We can only hope this situation does not occur.

The group's faces changed, but Luo Yao quickly thought of something.

Moreover, although the ones she just took out were low-grade Puppets, crafting a single Puppet requires thousands of Spirit Stones; it is impossible to do otherwise.

That is just the materials; there can also be failures during the crafting process.

But this problem is very easy for Luo Yao to solve.

On the other side, Luo Yao was also taking a gamble, after all, they had no way back.

But it is a drop in the bucket.

Xi Lan turned and left; actually, they were already outside, and Xi Lan was just using this to express her stance.

They do not have a large number of Puppets.

When facing a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator later, they will have only one path: death.

But she estimated that, given Xiao Yao's personality, she would not give up.

"Alright!"

After the Puppet disappeared just now, the Divine Sense they had attached to the Puppet also saw that monster.

"Hmm?"

Although the Qiding Sect is a second-rate sect in Pingzhou, they are all Artifact Refiners after all; it is normal for their combat power not to be strong, but when it comes to crafting artifacts and Puppets, if the Qiding Sect dares to claim second place, no one dares to claim first.

Luo Yao quickly pointed to the brick paths on the ground. "There must be a pattern here; we need to find the pattern to avoid being sucked into the Unknown Space."

If it truly comes to that, she can only choose to help Xiao Yao.

If this is truly the case, then Liu Yizhou has entered the wrong path, while we have entered the correct one.

Luo Yao held her breath, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Is Xiao Yao planning to craft Puppets during this time? But there isn't enough time?"

The Seven-Colored Dice began to spin dizzily on top of the Puppet's head.

As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Qingyan felt the connection to the puppet sever.

But they didn't have that much time.

Now they could only resort to the desperate method: using large numbers of puppets to probe.

Yet now she hadn't expected to actually use them.

Luo Yao took out the puppet, then took out her Golden Finger.

So, they could either leave now—or they couldn't bear to, for the treasure was right before them; how could they possibly miss it?

"I have puppets, but I need time."

……

To return to the matter at hand, Fang Qingyan now had no usable puppets left.

At a distance of ten meters from the Statue, the space in between resembled a Square.

If they entered, they would surely die without even a trace of ash left.

Fang Qingyan suspected it was the former.

Beneath the Statue stood a stone table, upon which rested several Jade Boxes—clearly the treasures of the Cave Abode.

She had always felt a sense of unease.

There were hundreds of floor tiles; that would require hundreds of puppets.

Before her, in the center of the hall, stood a Statue—the likely master of the Cave Abode.

Ding!

Soon, Luo Yao saw the Seven-Colored Dice stop, revealing a number.

Then, with a pale face, she looked at the worried Luo Yao and Xi Lan. "The monster inside is terrifying—at least Nascent Soul Stage."

In total, ten puppets cost between several ten thousand Spirit Stones and several hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

"Probably," Xi Lan frowned. "But be careful—I always feel something's off here."

The puppet had taken only three steps before vanishing, leaving only one remaining near the stone wall on the left.

Seeing no greed or ill intent in her senior sister's eyes, Fang Qingyan sighed—she didn't want to fall out with her senior sister.

"Could it be that the other path was wrong, and this one is right?"

If Liu Yizhou and the others behind them discovered that path was incorrect, they'd catch up soon.

"It has a range!"

……

Luo Yao and the other two controlled the ten puppets, marching side by side toward the Statue.

But Fang Qingyan feared they'd delay too long and be blocked by a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Star Temple—then there'd be no escape.

She couldn't let Xiao Yao risk herself.

It seemed, at this moment, Luo Yao appeared. (End of Chapter)
