Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 604
Chapter 604: Sky Demon Secret Cave Opened
Happy knew the traps and mechanisms in Sky Demon Sect like the back of his hand, so he was, of course, aware that Fire Wolf was the most fatal and crucial part of the entire trap.
In his previous life, during the first few times, the raid parties who went to challenge Sky Demon Sect all died because of it.
They did not pay enough attention to Fire Wolf and did not approach it. They hoped that someone else would handle it, but in the end, the temperature became too high, and everyone could not breathe. At the end, they died without even knowing what had happened.
The most tragic thing was that even though they soon gained quite a comprehensive understanding of the beast puppets, the warring factions refused to work together, and as time passed, they lost their ability to compete. They all died in Sky Demon Sect due to asphyxiation and turned into the greatest joke in World of Martial Arts at that time.
Happy knew that if he did not personally get rid of Fire Wolf, the six elites from Mu Clan might all die in Sky Demon Sect, and then they would become the greatest joke in the game.
To Happy, Moksha Realm beast puppets were not a threat. He activated his Golden Bell Cocoon, and he also had Nine Yang Divine Skill protecting him. With his fourth-echelon Golden Armor maintaining his posture, he could remain still and unharmed even when he faced a large group of beast puppets.
He reached Recondite Steel Gate without any danger. The beast puppets seemed to have noticed his intention, and they went into a craze, using their bodies to ram themselves into Happy without caring about anything in an attempt to buy time and continue to deplete the limited air in the cave.
Whoosh!
A large bolt of fire came out of Fire Wolf’s mouth. The heat wave was scorching, and it stopped Happy from moving forward.
However, the huge Fire Wolf required a lot of materials to make, so its mobility was very limited. Hence, it was naturally not a perfect puppet machine.
In truth, Fire Wolf was a huge wolf head instead of a complete puppet machine and could not move. But it only showed its head while the remaining parts of it were hidden in darkness, so no one could tell that. The sounds it had made before were also only there to create a misconception and create pressure in players’ hearts.
Happy naturally would not be stopped by something like that. He used up to the tenth move of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, which allowed him to crush a large group of beast puppets with the force of a hurricane, and pushed forward.
“ROAR!”
The large black dragon hurricane had countless damaged components from the beast puppets and created a terrifying and large puppet dragon! It crashed against Fire Wolf while sweeping away all opposition!
All sorts of sharp and loud crashing sounds rose up without stop.
When the hurricane crashed into the mouth full of flames, Fire Wolf’s head was struck so heavily that it was disfigured. Countless pots appeared on its sturdy and firm face, and it looked incredibly pathetic.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
It was clear that there was someone controlling Fire Wolf behind it. Once the momentum of Flying Dragon in the Sky disappeared, it immediately turned around, and its mouth, now void of flames, suddenly opened to reveal numerous small holes! Countless needles that were as fine as cow’s hair shot out in all directions.
Happy’s afterimage was immediately turned into a mesh…
Bang!
The beast puppets who had pounced on him suffered for their decision. Hill Breaker Needles pierced through their bodies and rendered their insides into a mess. Their bodies twisted in the air, and they crashed and shattered on the floor while they swung their claws and bared their teeth. Sparks flew everywhere from the friction.
The greatest threat that was the Fire Wolf was dealt with, and Happy was naturally no longer anxious. He turned around and cast his gaze on the large group of beast puppets who eyed him with hostility.
There were quite a number of materials that could be used to create high-grade puppets on the beast puppets, along with some decent hidden weapons and devices. They were all very good and practical items.
Clang! Clang!
The beast puppets inherited a wild creature’s offensive abilities as well as their lack of fear toward cold weapons. They were very fierce and brutal, and each of their attacks were like the standard attacks from educational textbooks.
But unfortunately, the enemy they faced was a little too strong.
In a head-on fight, their sturdy bodies were not so reliable when they had to face Inaction Realm attacks. With just two or three palm strikes, cracks appeared on their bodies, and when more palm strikes hit their joints, their combat ability would plummet or they would be completely destroyed.
The temperature in the hall was already stable, and it was even slowly returning to room temperature!
When Fire Wolf’s greatest weapons—its flames—disappeared, the people from Mu Clan and Wind Assault Tower gradually calmed down. Damaged beast puppets who lost their mobility could be seen scattered everywhere on the ground.
The difference in strength between the two parties quickly became rather clear!
While Silver Wolf and his party fought, they continuously pushed toward Recondite Steel Gate, but Wind Assault Tower’s party could only protect themselves while they faced the large number of fierce beast puppets. If they wanted to push forward, it would be inevitable that flaws would appear in the links of their formation.
They could only watch as Mu Clan’s party quickly grouped together.
Phantasmal Shadow could only lament about that.
Not only was the difference between the two large sects wide, Mu Clan also had a headstart in the strength and wisdom of their top-class fighters. In fact, when it came to the leaders of the sect… Happy also seemed to be more outstanding.
Before, Phantasmal Shadow had treated Dream Clouds as her greatest competitor and the target she had to catch up with.
But now, under the influence of the group of elites from Mu Clan, she noticed for the first time that there was still a long way to go for Wind Assault Tower and her.
“Tower master, they’re about to go in.”
“And what can I do about it?”
Phantasmal Shadow smiled wanly. It was not impossible for them to fight against the beast puppets. Besides, Mu Clan had already gotten rid of the greatest threat, so were they expected to also bring them inside?
Happy joined the other five.
When Silver Wolf and the others saw the messed up head of the Fire Wolf and the dozens of expired beast puppets scattered around Happy, they could not help but gasp in amazement.
They had also destroyed quite a number of beast puppets, but they seemed to not have destroyed as many as Happy!
“Little North, pick up the loot. The others, help me hold the fort. I’m going to get rid of that wolf!”
Once Happy reunited with Silver Wolf and the others, he immediately felt that he had much fewer worries. He used their help and changed the direction of his palm-generated wind. He formed a circle with his hands… Straight left! Right hook! Uppercut! Hammer fist… The air in the hall instantly gathered completely around Happy’s body.
A huge golden dragon with eight claws shot out with a proud roar that deafened the ears!
“ROAR!”
A large golden dragon that was filled with a domineering and destructive air crashed violently against the large wolf in Recondite Steel Gate.
Rumble…
The hall shook.
Fire Wolf’s huge head crumbled because of the hit. Its sturdy metallic surface even showed signs of cracking.
Thud!
The head fell to the ground in a dispirited fashion.
It shocked the group, and they quickly avoided the area.
The huge Fire Wolf’s mechanic head fell from the darkness within Recondite Steel Gate and rolled to the center of the hall in a pathetic fashion before it stopped. The fierce light in its core quickly faded away.
The moment the light completely disappeared, a black crystal fell off from Fire Wolf’s head.
It was not eye-catching.
But Happy walked over without hesitation and picked it up. A faint hint of joy flashed briefly past his eyes.
[Black Curtain Crystal: Opens the second Recondite Steel Gate!]
All-powerful Medicinal Stone took the crystal and looked around the hall before he touched a spot at the entrance. The dark fog within Recondite Steel Gate instantly vanished without a trace. The sounds of springs could be heard, and a dark tunnel appeared in front of the people.
The system notification arrived.
“Ding!
“Opened Sky Demon Secret Cave!”
