The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 369
Chapter 369 Silver Flame (1)
After returning to the city wall, Lei Xingfeng looked up and saw countless Iron Puppets still standing on the top of the wall. Because of the distance, he couldn’t see the details clearly, but there was one thing that was clear. These Iron Puppets wouldn’t move.
He flew up against the wall. In an instant, Lei Xingfeng stood on the city wall. Only then did he discover that the steel doll beasts that were standing had all been corroded.
Jin Daya said, “There is a short pagoda over there!”
“It’s a ruined building,” said Lei Xingfeng. “Only this short pagoda is still there. I guess there should be a spire.”
Shi Hu said, “Let’s go take a look. Hehe, I’m looking forward to it!”
The four of them quickly ran towards the pagoda. Lei Xingfeng’s heart was just like what Shi Hu had said. That was quite expectant. A few minutes later, the four of them stood under the pagoda. At this time, they discovered that the pagoda was made entirely of metal. However, it was already stained with rust. A strong smell of rust came to their noses.
They could clearly see some of the metal components in the surroundings. They were left behind by the collapsed buildings around them. The rest of them had already been completely reduced to ashes. If they looked carefully, they could see the roads hidden in the ruins. These roads were also made of metal, but they were almost corroded. It was very difficult to see the full picture.
This was a very large residential area, but it had basically been completely destroyed. A very small number of metal buildings could be seen. However, most of them were rotten beyond recognition. Only the short pagoda was still there because of its huge size.
Jin Dapang was puzzled, “Why are there so many moving Iron Puppets on the city wall?”
Shi Hu said, “That should be the Iron Puppet Beast sealed in the city wall. According to my estimation, if it is intact, we will be facing more than a few thousand Iron Puppet Beasts. It is very likely that there will be ten thousand or even a hundred thousand Iron Puppet Beasts. Moreover, there should be a difference in profession. I saw a Iron Puppet Beast holding a rusted longbow …”
Jin Daya also said, “Yes, I also saw the Iron Puppet Beast with the shield. Unfortunately, only half of the shield is left. Haha.”
Lei Xingfeng had already noticed this. He knew very well that there was a very powerful army of puppet beasts here. If someone commanded them, they would be completely finished. Even if he took out three golden-ranked puppet beasts, the other party would swallow them up in numbers.
“This short pagoda should be very important!”
Lei Xingfeng guessed.
Jin Daya held his chin and pondered for a while. After a while, he said, “Why do you want to think so much? Isn’t it over if you go in and take a look?”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Yeah, well, let’s go in! See where the door is?”
Shi Hu had already turned around and said, “No way!”
Lei Xingfeng was stunned and said, “No way? Holy shit, go to the top of the pagoda!”
Although it was called a short tower, it was still fifty to sixty meters tall, so there was no way to see the top at the bottom. Lei Xingfeng flew up and instantly reached the top. He smiled and said, “Indeed, there is an entrance from the top.”
As the buildings at the top had all disappeared, a small entrance was revealed. It was two meters long and two meters wide, and it was dark below, so nothing could be seen clearly.
Lei Xingfeng turned around and pointed at a silver-ranked puppet beast, “You go in!”
The silver-ranked puppet beast jumped down without any hesitation. A loud noise could be heard from below. Then, the sound of footsteps grew softer and softer. Lei Xingfeng knew that the silver-ranked puppet beast was deep inside.
Boom!
The pagoda trembled for a moment, and then there was a series of rumbling sounds. Lei Xingfeng said, “Not good, there’s something fighting my doll beast down there! Let’s go down!” At this time, he couldn’t care less. Although he had thirty-six Silver-ranked Puppet Beasts, he couldn’t bear to lose even one of them.
Jin Daya was very calm. He said, “Take the other puppet beasts with you!”
Lei Xingfeng turned around and pointed at the entrance of the cave, saying, “Go down and reinforce!”
The other five puppets plopped down, followed by Lei Xingfeng.
Shi Hu also jumped down. Jin Daya was a little late. He said, “Big Fatty, stay here!” After saying that, he also jumped into the cave entrance.
Lei Xingfeng had already released Lei Yin. The surroundings were illuminated by Lei Yin’s flickering silver light. This was a steel house. There was nothing inside. There was a corridor in front of it, and the sound of vibrations came from there.
This corridor was also a circular corridor. After walking around the perimeter, he entered the next floor. As Lei Xingfeng ran, his heart suddenly lit up. Back in the forbidden area, there was once a pagoda that was constructed like this.
He rushed into the lower floor and immediately saw the silver-ranked puppet beast fighting against the two steel puppet beasts.
Five Silver-ranked doll beasts quickly joined in, instantly destroying two Iron-ranked doll beasts.
Lei Xingfeng was a little surprised because these two Iron Puppets were actually able to draw against a Silver Rank Puppet. This was simply inconceivable. He had always believed that a single Iron Puppet should be very weak. He had never imagined that it would be so powerful.
Jin Daya had already seen through the mysteries. He said, “The Iron Puppet Beast will not cooperate, and the Silver Puppet Beast’s cooperation is extremely tacit. This is the biggest gap between the two sides.”
Lei Xingfeng agreed, “And the Iron Puppet Beast is a bit weaker.”
There were two Iron Puppets on this floor. The entire space was enormous. Under the illumination of Lei Xingfeng’s Lei Yin, it could be seen that this floor was at least a thousand square meters tall and was about seven to eight meters tall. It was a very large space.
Shi Hu said, “There are only two Iron Puppets. Nothing else … No, there are boxes over there!”
There were about fifty large steel boxes, each three meters long, 1.5 meters high, and about two meters wide.
Lei Xingfeng waved his hand and the six silver-ranked puppet beasts lifted a huge box and threw it down. With a loud boom, the huge box was thrown down from a pile of boxes.
One of the silver-ranked puppet beasts stepped forward. He held his axe and forcefully pried open the lid of the box.
Peng! Kacha!
The metal lid that was as thick as a centimeter was forcefully pried open and tossed away by the silver-ranked puppet beast. Only then did Lei Xingfeng step forward to watch.
Jin Daya stepped forward and said in surprise, “Holy shit! This is the Iron Puppet Beast!” When he was excited, he said Lei Xingfeng’s mantra.
An intact Iron Puppet Beast, There was still a thick layer of grease on his body. It was basically dried up, forming brown spots. Lei Xingfeng stretched out his hand to remove the brown spots, revealing a metallic flash. In other words, this was a brand new Iron Puppet Beast. There was a clip on one side of the box, a metal longbow, and a box of metal arrows.
Every single one of these metal arrows was similar to a spear. Lei Xingfeng looked dizzy. If this thing was shot out, even if he was Jiuhuan Daoist, he wouldn’t be able to handle it. It was too fucking abnormal.
After counting carefully, there were a total of 53 large boxes. Each big box was a steel puppet beast. They were all brand new and showed no signs of activating. Lei Xingfeng put them away happily. He said, “Let me slowly study them. Hehe, with the examples of silver and gold puppet beasts, I believe I can find out the secrets. Hehe.”
Although countless Iron Puppet Beasts had been shattered earlier, they were all semi-crippled and lacked energy. It was just like when they met a Gold-ranked Puppet Beast. It looked ordinary. After being filled with energy, the strength of the Iron Puppet Beast was quite shocking. Although it was slightly weaker, the situation was completely different when it was under its control.
Fifty-three Iron Puppet Beasts. This harvest made Lei Xingfeng extremely happy. This time in the Avocado Swamp, he relied on the Puppet Beast. He could practically dominate. The Puppet Beast’s role was indeed very powerful.
Jin Daya said, “I wonder if there is anything else on the next floor?”
Lei Xingfeng said, “The more the better, hehe.”
Shi Hu said, “I’m afraid that I won’t be able to find the activation energy. I wonder if the seal ring can be used.”
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “It’s time to go back and experiment.”
“With so many puppets and beasts helping us, we will be the best assistants in exploring and building our homeland in the future,” Jin Daya sighed emotionally.
Lei Xingfeng shook his head and said, “Building a homeland … is difficult. However, it is still possible for them to exert some effort. It is just a bit uneconomical. The energy consumed and the results obtained are not the same. Unless I find a way to produce the Heavenly Spill Crystal,” he said.
Jin Daya knew about the Heavenly Evolution Crystal. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said, “Forget it. If the Heavenly Evolution Crystal can be produced, our Mystery Sect probably won’t be able to survive. At that time, countless experts will come to force us.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “The premise is that … I will advance to Daolord!”
Jin Daya and Shi Hu exchanged a glance. Both of them revealed a trace of shock. After spending a long time in Mystery Sect, they both knew what Daolords meant. That meant a top Mystery Sect. This kind of Mystery Sect was the strongest in the world.
Shi Hu sighed and said, “I hope that I can see A Feng become a Daolord the day I’m alive. Haha, that’s too difficult. Let’s think about how to advance to True Monarch now. We have no other choice but to count on A Feng.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “I’ve already started preparing. However, there are still some questions. I don’t dare to advance so quickly. You know, I’ve just reached the peak of the Nine Rings True Body. I still need some time to get used to it.”
Jin Daya nodded in understanding. He said, “I have already reached the peak of the Nine Rings. Unfortunately, after so many years, I have lost more and more confidence. Until now, I only wanted to extend my life. Haha, I will not be able to advance to Lord in this lifetime. What a pity.”
Shi Hu said, “What a pity. How many people are able to cultivate to the Nine Rings Daoist Master? Not a single cultivator can reach the Nine Rings Daoist Master. If it weren’t for the help of the Seal Ring, you would only have three rings and four rings at most. It’s possible that you wouldn’t even be able to achieve this. Haha, you’re already very lucky, okay?”
