Chapter 232: Puppet Army, Breakout
This group of puppet knights did not stop, but soon left the street and headed off into the distance.

The people who were observing upstairs were some distance away, and they did not dare to use their spiritual sense to investigate at will, for fear of disturbing the Taoist puppet, so they did not get much information.

Tian Mo looked at the puppet knight going away, curled his lips and said,
"Tsk, there are only a few of them, why are we hiding? Just kill them directly."

Even if they are suppressed, the combat effectiveness of these puppets is no weaker than that of ordinary high-level warriors, and Tian Mo is absolutely sure that he can easily get rid of them.

"Don't."

Zhang Tao smiled and explained, "It's better not to take action if you can. These puppet warriors are not easy to mess with. They are connected to each other. If you mess with one, a large group will surround you soon."

"And even if we really want to do it, we can't do it now. We have to wait until we get a little deeper. Then you can hold back their main force, and I'll take the opportunity to go in and get the things."

After the puppet knight walked away, everyone continued to move forward. With Zhang Tao constantly sensing the warning of space fluctuations, and Su Xingyu helping to hide their whereabouts, although there were many puppets patrolling in the city, they did not discover them.

The group moved forward at a very fast speed.

If they come across some buildings that look decent on the road, they will go in and search and loot.

One day later.

After dodging several waves of puppet warriors, everyone came to a tall attic. The attic was hundreds of meters high, and even in front of the tall buildings in the city, it stood out.

Although the attic looks damaged, it is still intact overall. When you walk into the attic, what catches your eye is a mess.

The walls were covered with cracks, and some had even collapsed, revealing the brick and stone structure inside. Various debris and broken items were scattered on the ground.

In addition to various messy items, there are also some special things, such as unknown corpses and broken puppet warriors. Thick dust has covered the ground, and it seems that no one has cleaned it for some time.

Looking at the mess on the floor of the building, everyone frowned slightly.

"This place looks so messy, has it been ransacked?" Cole asked puzzledly.

"It's possible." Zhang Tao nodded.

"That's normal. This place wasn't a dead place from the beginning. There should have been intelligent creatures living here in the past. How could it not have turned over after such a long time?" Tian Mo said with a smile.

"This place is quite big, how do I find it?" Leah looked around and asked.

"Let's spread out and look for our own places. How about gathering at the door in an hour?" Zhang Tao suggested.

"it is good."

"Just to my liking."

Everyone had this idea in mind, so when someone brought it up, they agreed.

So, soon everyone chose a direction, did not interfere with each other, and went to look for treasures on their own.

"One hour, time is quite tight, we have to hurry." Su Xingyu murmured to himself, and then his eyes turned dark, his body turned into a dark energy body, and the dark power spread outward. In an instant, countless black shadows shaped like hounds appeared, their eyes glowing red, and they walked towards the room in front of them.

"High-level Sharp Inscription, looks good, take it back and have a look."

"Weapons can be made this way, amazing! Take it back and let them study it."

"What is this prop for? Forget it, take it away."

Su Xingyu was not worried about the lack of storage space at all, and he did not check the items carefully. He just put away anything that looked pleasing to the eye and whose purpose he did not know.

Seeing Su Xingyu's carpet-style search, the other people's faces twitched and they also quickened their pace.

"They are all ordinary things. They are not very useful to me. I hope I can sell them for a good price after taking them back." Tian Mo scratched his head. Compared with the other two people, he didn't care much about the things here. As an individual player, all his strength depended on himself.

He doesn't particularly care about the development of power.

This is also the essential difference between faith players and individual players. The former regard power as the foundation of the gods, which cannot be violated, while the latter regard power as a tentacle that can be abandoned at any time.

Compared to these fancy things, items that can enhance personal strength are more likely to attract Tian Mo's interest.

For example, the body of a god, or fragments of a godhead...

On the other side, Leah also split into many "ice clones", storing the items one by one into the storage space, preparing to throw them directly to the forces for research after returning.

Everyone searched the room quickly from bottom to top.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang and the whole attic began to shake violently.

The walls were covered with debris and the air was filled with dust.

As the shaking intensified, the stairs and floors in the attic began to creak, as if they would collapse at any time.

"what's the situation?"

"It's over, run."

"withdraw."

The people who were picking up garbage didn't know what was going on. After encountering the incident, they immediately asked questions and then rushed out at the same time.

There was no special energy attack, just falling rocks, which could not hurt anyone at all. After a while, they came out.

Standing not far from the attic, looking at the collapsed attic, several people looked at each other with some confusion.

Tian Mo smiled and asked, "Does anyone know what happened? Why did the building collapse suddenly?"

Except for Cole, the other three shook their heads, indicating that they were not clear about the situation.

So the four of them turned their attention to Cole.

Being stared at by everyone, Cole felt a surge of pressure. He took out a basketball-sized crystal from his storage ring and smiled awkwardly, "I think I accidentally took out the energy core of this attic."

"..."

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

"Sorry, sorry, I looked around for a while, but couldn't tell whether the items were good or not, so I just picked some at random, and then..." Cole touched the back of his head with an apologetic look on his face.

"never mind."

Ignorance is not a crime, so everyone was very forgiving and did not blame him.

"Let's leave here first. Such a big noise might attract patrolling puppets." Su Xingyu looked into the distance, frowned slightly, and said softly.

Several people nodded in agreement, and without much hesitation, they turned into streams of light, three feet off the ground, and flew forward quickly.

However, after flying for just over ten kilometers, Zhang Tao, who was at the front, stopped and said in a deep voice: "There are a large number of puppets coming ahead, let's change direction." After that, he changed direction and continued to move forward, but before flying far, he changed direction again.

After changing direction several times, Zhang Tao stopped, frowned slightly, and expanded his sensing range.

Then he found that he and his companions were surrounded by a large number of puppet warriors. Zhang Tao's expression changed slightly, and he smiled at them, "We seem to be surrounded."

"What should we do then?" Cole asked anxiously.

When he was in this plane, Cole was also a very opinionated person. However, after coming to the Shenxing Continent and experiencing the various crises here, he consciously handed his brain over to a few people temporarily and listened to their commands.

"What else can we do? We're surrounded, so let's break out." Tian Mo looked into the distance and saw the puppets coming quickly, a cruel smile appeared on his face.

"trouble."

Su Xingyu looked at Zhang Tao and asked directly: "How far is it from here to the destination? How long will it take to get there? How many puppets are there surrounding us? How strong are they?"

"If we fly in a straight line and travel at full speed, it will only take about five hours. As for the puppets surrounding us, I'm not sure, but there are at least tens of thousands of them. There is a big one among them, and there are three big ones on the other side that are coming quickly." Zhang Tao changed his previous cautious attitude and used the power of space to explore the surrounding situation at will. After a while, he found out the general situation.

His action quickly attracted the attention of the Puppet Knight. The Puppet Knight, who was originally a little hesitant, instantly locked onto their position and rushed straight towards them.

"Break out, fight and retreat at the same time."

Everyone stopped hesitating, made a decision immediately, and flew forward quickly.

"Hahaha, wouldn't it have been better if you did this earlier? Why are you talking so much? I'll lead the charge. You're just a puppet, and you want to stop us? That's ridiculous!" Tian Mo laughed when he heard that. Black and red fighting spirit emerged from his body. With an angry roar, he rushed straight into the group of puppet warriors in front of him.

The puppet in the front had red eyes and was not frightened by his aura.

They swung the giant swords in their hands and slashed forward fiercely, slashing at Tian Mo.

bang——

Just like a brutal tiger king rushing into a flock of sheep, Tian Mo swung his fists and chopped with his palms as if he was in an empty space. Any puppet knight in front of him would be shattered in an instant as long as he touched it.

"Dang Dang Dang——"

The giant sword slashed at Tian Mo's body, making a crisp bell-like sound and then sparks, but it didn't even break his skin.

In terms of physical strength alone, Tian Mo is stronger than both Su Xingyu and Leah. After all, this is his strong point.

"I'll be on the left and you on the right." Su Xingyu glanced at Leah, and without waiting for her response, his body turned into a stream of light and rushed out.

shhhhh--

The gray sword swung, the sword energy of death swept across, the sharp sword energy swept away, and the puppet warrior running in front was torn to pieces in an instant.

These ordinary puppets are only at the sixth level of extraordinary rank. Even though they are forged with precious materials, their strength is not weak and can be compared to the seventh level.

Also, because he only cultivates his physical strength, he is less suppressed in this city and can fight with real seventh-level warriors.

But it is still too difficult to stop a few people in this way.

The crowd moved forward quickly, and the puppet warriors attacking them were often easily killed before they got close.

The strength gap between the two sides is too big.

"Hahaha, I can finally have a good fight." Cole's face was a little excited. His figure was like a ghost, extremely agile. His sword slashed quickly, and the puppet warriors were destroyed one by one.

From these puppets, Cole truly felt his own strength. He no longer had to feel frustrated and powerless like in previous times.

Leah passed by like a gust of cold wind, and the puppet warriors were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, and then with a dull explosion, they turned into a pile of powder.

"die."

The more Tian Mo played, the more excited he became. It felt like he was invincible in the game, which was very comfortable.

As a demigod who specialized in physical training, he liked this kind of flesh-and-flesh combat the most.

There was a whistling sound in his ears and a cold light flashed. A puppet centurion who had reached the ninth-level holy realm leaped up, holding a giant sword in both hands and chopped down with force. Tian Mo showed a sneer on his face, stretched out his hand, turned it into a dragon claw, and actually grabbed the giant sword directly.

Without waiting for the Puppet Thousand Captain to change his moves, he casually swept his left hand, and with a flash of cold light, the Puppet Thousand Captain's head was torn into pieces like tofu. Tian Mo grabbed something from its body, and a crystal the size of a basketball fell into his hand.

"I don't have enough strength."

Tian Mo transformed into a dragon man, with a body of more than three meters tall. He held a pitch-black semi-artifact spear in his right hand and stepped on the void. His whole body turned into a black and red stream of light and rushed forward. As the spear swept across, the surrounding puppet warriors shattered like toys.

"Weak puppet."

The spear thrust forward, the tip of the spear glowing black, and then, together with the shield and armor, it pierced through the ninth-order puppet that was blocking the way, showing great bravery.

If it were a normal creature, seeing Tian Mo kill one of its officers so easily, it would probably have been frightened and afraid to act.

However, these puppets were not afraid. Tian Mo's bravery did not scare them. They obeyed the rules of the city and kept rushing forward, determined to kill the invaders and drive them out of the city.

"Damn it, why do I feel like there are more and more puppets?" Su Xingyu chopped off a few puppets again and said with some confusion.

"No need to feel, there are indeed more and more of them, and the surrounding puppets are gathering here." Zhang Tao's face was a little solemn, "We have to break out quickly, otherwise we will be surrounded by them and it will be a bit troublesome."

"It's too fast. These puppets have very strong defenses, stronger than those of warriors who specialize in physical training. They are also wearing defensive armor, so it's impossible to penetrate them." Cole said helplessly as he swung his sword and beheaded the attacking puppet.

"Just follow behind and don't fall behind. I'll lead the way. You two help me and attack first." Tian Mo shouted to Su Xingyu and the others.

"it is good."

"can."

The two men, who were not very good at this kind of combat, nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Tian Mo roared angrily, his eyes turned dark gold, and his body was filled with more surging blood and energy. His aura became more and more powerful, overwhelming the entire audience.

With Tian Mo as the vanguard, Su Xingyu and Leah assisting from the sides, the five-member team advanced quickly.

As if they had sensed their intention, the puppets further behind accelerated their gathering speed regardless of consumption.

Like a legion of living creatures, they were organized into tight square formations, with heavy shield soldiers in the front and spearmen following behind, forming an indestructible line of defense.

"put."

Following the order from the puppet army leader, the puppet holding the powerful crossbow ignored his companions who were still trying to stop him, pulled the trigger, and countless arrows engraved with strengthening inscriptions shot towards everyone.

The dense rain of arrows, like an invisible net, enveloped everyone.

"I come."

Just as Tian Mo was about to attack to resist, Leah took the first step. She snorted coldly and swung the ice-blue sword forward. Chilling air surged and covered him.

The incoming arrows slowed down until they froze and fell.
