I've Activated The Hidden Path of Beast Evolution - Chapter 197

197 Clockwork Puppet
“However, the second test is not simple. Everyone only has one chance. Are you sure you’re ready?”

Ye Fan nodded decisively, and Bai Lu touched Ye Fan’s face in satisfaction.

“I wish you a smooth journey!”

Just as she said this, Ye Fan felt the scene in front of him flash. Bai Lu disappeared, and the surrounding environment also changed greatly.

The hall that was very bright and spacious just now had become a wide area like a competition venue. There were stone walls all around, and the ground felt very hard.

!!
At this moment, the system’s voice sounded in Ye Fan’s mind.

“Mission triggered! Seven Luminaries Tower’s inheritance. You can obtain 5,000 evolution points after passing the second test!”

As he had expected, Ye Fan’s lips curled up. As expected, as long as it was related to the ruins, a mission would definitely be triggered, and the rewards this time were very generous.

A total of 5,000 evolution points could evolve the remaining three pets and unlock all their talents and skills.

“Next, we’ll do our best to clear the level!”

Ye Fan focused all his thoughts on clearing the level, looking at the checkpoint in front of him. The iron railing at the side slowly rose, and the sound of footsteps behind him could be heard. It was the sound of heavy metal touching the ground.

Five tall figures gradually walked out of the darkness. Each of them was nearly two meters tall. Golden figures appeared from the darkness, their faces cold and lifeless.

Their metallic limbs were covered in screws. Ye Fan immediately thought of the clockwork soldiers in the first round.

“They’re puppets.”

The aura emitted by these five people was much stronger than Clockwork Soldiers. Moreover, two of them were holding staffs. They did not communicate with each other. After appearing in Ye Fan’s vision, they attacked him.

Two soldier puppets holding swords rushed towards Ye Fan. One was holding a huge sword, the other was holding a single sword and shield, their auras were powerful.

The other person held a light spear and quickly jumped into the air. A pair of golden wings suddenly appeared, flapping towards Ye Fan. The remaining two puppets raised their staffs, the battle officially began.

Seeing the puppets running towards him with killing intent, Ye Fan immediately summoned his pets.

Light flashed beside him, and six pets gathered around Ye Fan. Without his instructions, Skeleton, Anissa, and the others immediately faced the enemy. Rose also followed the usual and cast a spell on Ye Fan’s shoulder to support her companions while weakening the opponent’s strength.

The fox waved its hand and spirit talismans appeared, turning into a huge barrier that enveloped Ye Fan. Then, it looked around curiously.

“Is this a ruin?”

Ye Fan replied, “Yes.”

“This is the Seven Luminaries Tower, right?”

In the past, when she was a fox, she had followed Ye Fan in and had some memories of this place. Now that she looked at the surroundings carefully, she remembered.

She raised her head to look at the surrounding city walls. Bai Lu stood on a platform with a smile. The fox understood how terrifying Bai Lu’s combat strength was and did not dare to provoke it.

“Master, why did you come back here?”

Ye Fan simply told the fox about passing the second round, then looked at Bai Lu and asked loudly.

“These puppets are the test?”

“There must be more.” Bai Lu smiled.

Although the two of them were a little far away, the crisp sound still clearly entered Ye Fan’s ears.

“These five puppets are only the first stage.”

Ye Fan looked at the battlefield around him. The Duke of Hellfire and the huge sword puppet were fighting. Another puppet with a blade and shield and wings was fighting the Firmament King. Anissa was fighting two puppets at once.

Ye Fan observed and found that these five puppets were all Rank-7.

“No wonder Bai Lu told me that one has to be above Rank-6 to challenge it.”

He sighed to himself. The Rank-6 that Bai Lu was talking about was targeted at people like him who could fight monsters above their level. If it were an ordinary Rank-6, they would definitely not be able to successfully challenge it.

Moreover, this was only the first round. There were still others.

Fortunately, Ye Fan’s strength was different from before. Dealing with five Rank-7s was too easy for him.

As he had expected, in less than a minute, the five puppets were taken down by the pets.

“Not bad! As expected, he’s someone I like. He’s not someone ordinary people can compare to!”

Bai Lu smiled and praised, feeling that she had not misjudged him.

“The subsequent stages will only become more and more difficult. This is only the least difficult. I hope you can continue smoothly.”

Ye Fan looked at Bai Lu. He felt that she really hoped that he could pass all the obstacles on the second level.

This thought flashed through his mind. Ye Fan calmly asked, “How many stages are there?”

“There are a total of three stages!” Bai Lu replied coolly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the iron railing rose again. This time, an ear-piercing sound rang out. The figure that appeared was very tall, about the height of two people. Moreover, his shoulders were very broad, like a wall.

This person was wearing golden armor and had a cold and heartless expression. He was wearing a very long cloak, and the golden tassels on the cloak naturally fell to the ground.

A strong arm held a bronze staff. Compared to the five puppets just now, this one emitted a very strong pressure.

“Spellcasting Puppet…”

Ye Fan’s gaze flashed past and landed on the staff in the puppet’s hand. The puppet arrived at the center of the platform and looked at Ye Fan indifferently before raising its staff, magnificent magic power gathered on it.

Five doors suddenly appeared in front of the puppet. They were more than two meters tall and emitted golden light. There was the sound of metal scraping inside. Then, a soldier in armor walked out from each door.

In the blink of an eye, more than 50 soldiers suddenly appeared on the platform. They only had a blank face and no facial features. Moreover, their faces were as black as ink, and their bodies emitted a rotten aura.

They all held swords in their hands and had powerful auras.
“Those are Death Soldiers, Rank-6.”

Bai Lu’s clear and pleasant voice was explaining to Ye Fan. Ye Fan’s gaze moved slightly and he raised his eyebrows, but his expression was very calm and did not change much. He instructed his pet to charge forward.

Rank-7 Clockwork Puppets were nothing to the pets, let alone Rank-6 ones. Even if the Death Soldiers were outstanding in terms of strength and defense, and they were not afraid of pain or death at all, they were still no match for pets.

As soon as the two sides fought, the soldiers were crushed by the pets. In just a short while, more than twenty Death Soldiers died one after another. However, Ye Fan was a little surprised that more soldiers were coming out of the five doors, as if there was no limit to the number inside.
