The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 300

Chapter 300 Gold-ranked Puppet Beast (2)

There were only three Silver-ranked Puppets on this stone platform. There was no other danger. Behind this stone was a building. The most precious thing was that there was no damage to the houses here.

Wu Yang stared at the buildings and revealed a surprised expression. He said, “It’s actually an intact ruin. I hope that we don’t encounter any powerful things or traps. If this place hasn’t been excavated … there should be a very good harvest.”

“I don’t know what kind of area this is,” Gu Qi said. “I hope it’s a good place.”

The five of them did not rush over. Instead, they carefully observed the dangers of the forbidden area. Perhaps Lei Xingfeng and Feng Chenzong did not understand, but Wu Yang, Gu Qi and Lazi understood very well that they did not dare to act rashly. They had to have a certain degree of confidence before they could act.

There were four tall towers and another building. At the front was this enormous platform. Of the four tall towers, one half collapsed, one tilted, and the other disappeared without a trace. Only one remained intact.

The buildings were basically intact, and a few of them even had protective shields that flickered with a faint white light. Not a single person could be seen, and it was as cold as a grave.

After a long while, he did not find anything wrong. Wu Yang said, “Let’s go in!” His voice was a little excited. This unexplored ruin was definitely a treasure trove. Of course, the dangers contained within it were self-evident.

Carefully arriving at the stone platform, There’s a building up ahead, In front of the building, there was a small forest. It could be seen that these were trees and weeds that grew later. If they were originally planted, even after countless years, they would still be neat and tidy. They did not know how the people in the forbidden area dealt with them. They were extremely miraculous, just like the lawn they had seen before, as if they were completely unaffected by the years.

This small forest was extremely luxurious, completely separating the building from the platform. Wu Yang jumped off the stone platform and walked into the forest. The others also followed suit. Everyone was very careful to minimize any movements. Soon, their gazes fell on a few wandering silver-ranked doll beasts.

Lazi patted his chest and said, “Luckily, luckily, this small forest is blocking us. Otherwise, there would be four silver-ranked doll beasts on the stone platform. Damn it, once we were alarmed, we wouldn’t have been dealing with three doll beasts just now, but seven!”

Lei Xingfeng said, “This isn’t four puppet beasts, but six. Look over there!”

Wu Yang stared at him and nodded, “Well, those two puppet beasts are leaning against the wall. Strange, why aren’t they moving?”

Six silver-ranked puppet beasts!

Everyone’s expressions darkened. This was not easy to deal with. The most important thing was that they were unable to determine if there were any other puppet beasts in the room besides the six silver-ranked puppet beasts. If a battle broke out and a few more puppet beasts rushed out of the room, it would be very troublesome.

Lazi said, “This thing is really annoying. Damn, what are you doing with so many puppet beasts!”

Lei Xingfeng couldn’t help but laugh, “Martial Uncle, that’s to prevent people like you from stealing things, hehe.”

Wu Yang suddenly said, “Don’t make a sound!” At the same time, he pointed to the tall tower in the distance that had lost its peak and whispered, “Look!”

Lei Xingfeng and the others stared at him and their expressions changed. A figure appeared on the tower. Because he had lost the tower’s spire, his figure was revealed. With Lei Xingfeng’s eyes, he immediately knew that he was a big fellow. He was over three meters tall, and his body was extremely strong. He could also clearly see that he had a huge beast head.

Lazi covered his mouth with his hand. A bitter expression appeared on Gu Qi’s face as he whispered, “You’re going to die, Golden Rank Puppet Beast … Heavens, how could there be such a Golden Rank Puppet Beast here? Even a Golden Rank Puppet Beast has appeared.”

Lei Xingfeng said, “Our luck is already good! If we had fought against the silver-ranked doll beast just now, the golden-ranked doll beast would have been able to see it! If we were still standing on the platform … our luck would have been good enough!” His voice was very low, but everyone else could hear him clearly.

Wu Yang said, “He should still be leaving. This is his patrol route.”

“That’s right,” Lei Xingfeng nodded. “I just don’t know when he will appear and leave. I hope he can leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, we won’t be able to move.”

Gold-ranked puppet beasts were comparable in strength to Lord-ranked experts. Powerful golden-ranked puppet beasts could even contend against peak Lord, but they were still far inferior to Heavenly Monarchs. Therefore, there was a Heavenly Monarch-ranked expert in the outer starry sky who was more useful than anything else. This was also the reason why Wu Yang dared to bring Lei Xingfeng here. He believed that he could protect Lei Xingfeng’s safety.

It wasn’t that Wu Yang was afraid of this golden-ranked puppet beast, but because once he was alarmed, he was afraid that other puppet beasts would appear that he hadn’t noticed. Once the puppet beast formed into a scale, even Wu Yang had to avoid the sharpness. Most importantly, there was a drag on Lei Xingfeng. If he wasn’t careful, perhaps Lei Xingfeng wouldn’t be able to escape. This was something he couldn’t bear.

As they observed, the hearts of the five people grew heavier and heavier. They discovered that there were many puppet beasts here. Some of them were discovered by them, while some were still hidden in the buildings. If they were unable to clean up these puppet beasts, it would not be considered as searching for the treasures here.

The five of them were temporarily trapped in the woods. Fortunately, the woods were only a small area, but they were very lush. They could cover the five of them tightly. This was also because the woods here had grown up later. The puppets didn’t pay any attention to this, so the five of them had a chance to escape.

After careful calculation, Wu Yang couldn’t help but shake his head and say, “We can’t sneak attack. As long as we fight, we will immediately attract other puppet beasts. Tell us, what should we do?”

Lei Xingfeng was also calculating. His conclusion was the same as Wu Yang’s. He couldn’t forcefully attack because he didn’t know how many puppet beasts were hiding in these buildings. If they were to split up and annihilate, there was still a chance of success. However, he could forcefully attack. There was very little chance of success, and it was very likely that he would trap all five of them inside.

“It’s hard to fight!” Said Feng Chenzong. He had figured it out.

Lazi’s expression was very ugly. He was counting on this. He didn’t expect that there would be so many puppet beasts here. He looked at Wu Yang anxiously and whispered, “Martial Uncle, do you want to fight?”

Wu Yang said, “Of course we have to fight. We’ve already reached this point. How can we retreat? Besides, it’s not like we don’t have a chance.”

Gucci said, “How should I fight?”

Wu Yang said, “First of all, we need to ensure that we can retreat. Once we lose, we will quickly return to the passageway. At worst, destroying the passageway will stop the pursuers.”

This was the path of retreat after thinking about failures. It was a very steady train of thought, and everyone agreed.

Wu Yang said, “Also, we can’t fight head-on. If we fight head-on, there are too many unknown factors that I can’t control. This is bad for everyone. Well, we need to find a relatively safe way to do it. The precondition is that we can’t kill anyone.”

Everyone nodded their heads together. No one wanted to die. This condition was necessary.

Wu Yang said, “Then, how should we proceed? Let’s think of a way together.”

Everyone lowered their voices and began to discuss. Lei Xingfeng had a strange feeling. He felt that his gang was like a group of bandits, discussing how to snatch the most valuable things with the smallest price.

Lei Xingfeng kept looking around. He was observing the terrain, so he didn’t say anything.

After discussing for a while, no one came to a conclusion. Everyone was a little dejected. Wu Yang looked around and saw the silent Lei Xingfeng. He said, “Feng, what do you suggest?”

“I want to figure out a few small things first,” Lei Xingfeng said.

Wu Yang said, “What’s the problem? Just say hello.”

Lei Xingfeng said, “What are the conditions for the puppet beasts to support each other? Or is it that one puppet beast is attacked and the other puppet beast will come to support them? Then will the puppet beast also come if you don’t see it?”

Wu Yang had seen most of the forbidden areas and knew the situation in detail. He pondered for a moment and said, “In the past, we only encountered sporadic puppet beasts. We rarely encountered groups of them. This time, we were more adventurous and few people came. However, we encountered such a situation. Well, I can’t explain the conditions for the puppet beasts to support each other.”

Lei Xingfeng scratched his head and said, “Well …” After a while, he said, “If that’s the case, we have to test it out. If the other party chases after us, we can only retreat. If it wasn’t for … hehe, I believe everyone will be able to grasp this opportunity.”

After all, a puppet beast was not a human, and it definitely did not have the intelligence of a human. Even if Lei Xingfeng gambled on this, it was still worth it to gamble on.

Wu Yang nodded and said, “This is also a good idea. It’s better than sitting there and not daring to do anything. What do you think?”

Lazi said, “It’s worth a try!”

“It is indeed a method,” said Gu Qi. “As long as the puppet beasts don’t rush over, we do have a chance of winning.”

“No objections,” said Feng Chenzong. “I agree to give it a try!”

Wu Yang smiled and said, “Alright, let’s make a bet this time. If we win, we’ll win. Losing won’t hurt our muscles and bones. Hehe, let’s do it! Feng, what do you think we should do?”

Lei Xingfeng pondered for a moment before pointing at the four silver-ranked puppet beasts roaming not far away. “The first thing we need to do is to kill these four puppet beasts. Otherwise, nothing can be said about them,” he said.

Wu Yang nodded and said, “This is necessary.”

Lei Xingfeng said, “Seducing these four silver-ranked puppet beasts means that we can roughly determine if they are in contact with each other. Furthermore, we can also test whether they can call for backup. This is very important. I checked the surrounding environment and found that the range of our activities is very small. That is, the place where we are most confident in fighting is the large platform behind us.”

“Yes,” said Gu Qi, “our battle just now did not alert the silver-ranked puppet beasts.”

Wu Yang nodded and said, “It’s not alarming. That’s because our attack speed is fast enough and the noise is small enough. Well, since we are conducting the test, we don’t need to be too careful. We just want to see if there will be any puppet beasts supporting us if there is a big commotion.”

Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Yes, but who will lure the enemy? Haha, I suggest that I lure the enemy …”
