The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 367
Chapter 367 Lure (1)
Jin Dapang left happily and ran to the distance to cook. Originally, he still had some unwillingness, but he had long since forgotten about it. He was focused on thinking about what to cook and what to eat. As for fighting, it would be best if he could avoid it.
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “This time, Uncle Tiger is going to lure the enemy. Bring the eight silver-ranked doll beasts. Haha, we can only lure the enemy bit by bit. If it weren’t for the silver-ranked doll beast, we wouldn’t have been able to afford it.”
Jin Daya said, “Let’s attack as well this time. We will go all out and destroy as many of these Iron Puppets as possible.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Well, lure out the Iron Puppet Beasts in this area. After we destroy them, we will be able to enter the city wall. I want to see what kind of place this is and why it is so strange.”
Shi Hu rushed over with the silver-ranked puppet beast.
Jin Daya said, “I wonder how many Iron Puppet Beasts I can lure this time …”
“It shouldn’t be too much,” said Lei Xingfeng.
Just now, the four of them, together with six Silver-ranked Puppet Beasts, attracted more than 600 Iron-ranked Puppet Beasts. This time, it was just a single person plus eight Silver-ranked Puppet Beasts. The number of Puppet Beasts attracted should not be more than just now.
In just a moment, rumbling footsteps sounded. Lei Xingfeng and Jin Daya exchanged glances. There was a trace of astonishment in their eyes, because the sound was too loud, as if it was much louder than before.
Then, he saw Shi Hu running at the front. Behind him were eight silver-ranked puppet beasts, followed by the Iron Puppet Beast.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Holy shit … How many Iron Puppets do you need?”
Jin Daya was also shocked. He said, “Damn it, at least a thousand … crazy! Double it! Feng, are you going to fight or flee?”
Lei Xingfeng hesitated for a moment and said, “Where are we going? Fight!”
Jin Daya smiled bitterly and said, “Alright, I will try my best!” He didn’t have much confidence. There were too many Iron Puppet Beasts, so many that he couldn’t make a move. This was the so-called sea of people tactic.
For this reason, Lei Xingfeng released a golden-ranked puppet beast.
Jin Daya knew that Lei Xingfeng had three golden-ranked puppet beasts, so he said, “Why didn’t you release them all?”
Lei Xingfeng smiled bitterly and said, “That thing consumes a lot of energy!” The Golden Rank Puppet Beast had to spend the Heaven Spill Crystal. This item was too precious, he really couldn’t bear to part with it.
As he spoke, Shi Hu had already rushed back. The eight Silver-ranked doll beasts quickly returned to form a circular formation. This time, each of the Silver-ranked doll beasts had a long double-edged axe in their hands. They were eyeing the charging Iron-ranked doll beast covetously.
Lei Xingfeng did not dare to fly into the air and said, “Lift me up!”
The golden puppet beast quickly raised Lei Xingfeng and let him step on his shoulders. When the Iron Puppet Beast was about to charge into the Ring Defense Formation, he shouted. Lei Yin flew out of his body. In an instant, countless electric currents shot out, causing Jin Daya and Shi Hu to narrow their eyes.
The electric current struck the Iron Puppet Beast’s body. Crackling sounds could be heard as arcs of lightning crazily leapt out of their bodies. In an instant, the originally berserk Iron Puppet Beast’s footsteps scattered and stumbled about. The Iron Puppet Beast that had not been affected behind them continued to charge crazily. Immediately, rumbling sounds echoed out, causing the entire Iron Puppet Beast to gather in chaos.
At the same time, the silver-ranked puppet beast launched an attack.
The three Silver-ranked Puppet Beasts suddenly cut into the Iron Puppet Beast’s ranks. Rolling up the long handle of the double-edged axe, The sound of metal rang out like metal striking. The dense ping-pong sound was deafening. In an instant, three more Silver-ranked Puppets rushed in. The previous three Puppets had already retreated. The entire formation spun rapidly, and three Silver-ranked Puppets continuously cut into the Iron Puppets’ ranks. It was like a knife peeling off a layer of Iron Puppets.
Lei Xingfeng kept sending out electric currents, He couldn’t shatter the Iron Puppet Beast, but a powerful electric shock could slow the Iron Puppet Beast’s movements and quickly reduce its attack power, disrupting the entire Iron Puppet Beast team. He even occasionally shot out explosive wheels. Once the explosive wheels were used, the Iron Puppet Beast would be unable to withstand it, and a single strike could shatter an Iron Puppet Beast into pieces.
Shi Hu and Jin Daya didn’t make a move. They just stood on both sides of the golden-ranked puppet beast. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to fight, but they simply couldn’t interfere. The silver-ranked puppet beast formed a circular formation that rotated too fast. If they rashly entered, they would be collided by the silver-ranked puppet beast. This would destroy the entire attack formation.
This time, the Iron Puppet Beast was twice as strong as before. It looked like it covered the sky and earth. One had to know that there were thousands of Iron Puppet Beasts and gigantic fellows. Even Lei Xingfeng was shocked by the momentum of the siege. That was why he couldn’t help but attack.
Jin Daya saw a glimmer of hope. He said, “This batch of Iron Puppets … is worse than the previous batch!”
Shi Hu was also observing. He said, “That’s right, I also found a few lacking in metal armor. Haha, if the new Iron Puppet Beasts are to be found, even if we can win, the Silver Puppet Beasts will still suffer some damage.”
Jin Daya said, “The damage may not be certain, but there is a possibility that the Iron Puppet Beast will charge in. The entire formation cannot be maintained.”
Lei Xingfeng stood on the shoulder of the golden puppet beast. He stared at the Iron Puppet Beast and occasionally sent out the Berserk Wheel. A flickering silver light would instantly destroy a Puppet Beast. He would occasionally use the Berserk Wheel and occasionally use berserk lightning to help the Silver Puppet Beast maintain its formation perfection and prevent the Iron Puppet Beast from forcefully attacking. In just a moment, the ground was filled with broken Puppet Beasts.
An hour later, more than a thousand Iron Puppets were completely shattered.
Lei Xingfeng checked for a moment and had no choice but to use the Heavenly Evolution Crystal to replenish the energy consumed. After two battles, the originally energetic Silver-ranked Puppet Beast had consumed nearly a quarter of its energy, causing Lei Xingfeng to feel quite heartache. With so much energy, it was equivalent to the Heavenly Evolution Crystal activating Mystery Sect and making a trip to the outer space.
Looking at the shattered steel parts on the ground, Lei Xingfeng said, “Unfortunately, if I knew how to collect these steel dolls, I would have made a lot of money. This is the best cannon fodder for death!”
If there were Iron Puppet Beasts out there, they could be used in dangerous places. Even if they were broken, they wouldn’t feel heartache.
However, everyone knew that this mission was too difficult. As long as the Iron Puppet Beast had energy, it would be extremely difficult to grasp and unlock the secret. During the battle just now, Lei Xingfeng had discovered that once a hand and leg were broken, the Iron Puppet Beast would quickly break into a pile of useless parts. It would simply not be able to obtain them completely.
Jin Daya shook his head and said, “I can’t catch him!”
Shi Hu said, “It doesn’t matter if we catch it or not. We need to figure out what secrets are here. I’ve always been curious. The changes here are simply too miraculous.”
At this time, the green buds on the ground had already grown. A few of them had even grown to a foot tall. Looking at them, they were filled with spring. How long had it only been? It was unbelievable that the plants here could grow to such an extent.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Anyway, “We need to understand the situation here. I always feel that this place has something to do with the extraterrestrial starry sky. This place is even older than the extraterrestrial starry sky. From the looks of these Iron Puppet Beasts, these Puppet Beasts seem to be even more crude than the Puppet Beasts I obtained from the forbidden area. They are like the earliest Puppet Beasts. Our Puppet Beasts are upgraded versions.”
Silver-ranked puppet beasts were much more powerful than steel puppet beasts in terms of material use, energy use, and design concepts. As for gold-ranked puppet beasts, they were incomparably powerful. Lei Xingfeng understood this very well.
Shi Hu said, “Shall I seduce the enemy again?”
Lei Xingfeng shook his head and said, “Let’s go get some rest and eat something.”
Jin Daya smiled and said, “With Big Fatty here, there will be delicious food at any time. Let’s go, I’m also hungry.”
Lei Xingfeng kept the Gold-ranked Puppet Beast and the thirty Silver-ranked Puppet Beasts. Only six Silver-ranked Puppet Beasts were left as guards. He had always been very careful about this. There was always enough protection outside. This place was too strange. Without certain means of protection, he would feel uneasy.
The three of them walked back and soon saw that Jin Dapang was busy.
This fellow placed a big table and three chairs on the ground. He put up a big copper pot and cooked a large pot of chowder with oil wood. This was Lei Xingfeng’s favorite method. It was simple and delicious. Jin Dapang had long learned it and carried it forward.
Jin Dapang smiled and said, “Good fellow, I was still cooking when I heard such a rumble. Did you win?”
Shi Hu smiled and said, “Nonsense, we can’t win … Can we come over?”
“Yes,” said Lei Xingfeng. “If it weren’t for the help of a puppet beast, we wouldn’t have been able to do anything this time.” He knew very well in his heart that with the strength of the four of them, he could only flee in the first wave of attacks from the 600 Iron Puppets. He would probably be beaten to shit if he forcefully withstood the attack.
Jin Dapang smiled and said, “Fight when you’re full!”
‘”Haha, I like it!” Said Shi Hu. There was no one who didn’t like this dish, especially Jin Dapang, who had improved a bit. For example, in this big copper pot, it was a dry-roasted chowder.
The so-called dry boiling was to put in a small amount of water and oil. The oil Jin Dapang put was divided into vegetable oil and animal fat. They were mixed together and heated. Then, they were put in a fist-sized piece of meat. This meat was also different. This was fresh meat and bacon that Jin Dapang had tried a long time ago.
Garlic and ginger pop into the pot first, then put in pieces of meat, and then put all kinds of vegetables and mushrooms on the fire to dry-boil. When the fragrance comes out of the lid, it will be almost ready. Of course, this is only the first step, and you can start eating.
When you’re halfway through eating, fill it with water and continue cooking. At the same time, add some other vegetables such as bacon or shrimp jerky to form a pot of vegetable soup.
According to Jin Dapang, this was a mixture of dried vegetables and soup.
