Chapter 259 Tomb Beast
Shen Hao knew that there was a kind of secrecy in the cultivation world called puppet art, and monks who were good at this kind of art were generally called puppet masters.
There are very few people who practice unorthodox techniques, and Shen Hao has never seen a puppet master anyway. I just read about the puppet master from some miscellaneous classics.
It is said that the puppet master also needs to practice skills, but the skills are weird and self-contained: he gave up the research and utilization of the five elements and turned to explore the mysterious reconstruction of the array and the object itself.
From Shen Hao's understanding, the puppet master is a bit like an applied scientist and hands-on madman.
Mysterious technique theory, various refining methods and whimsical ideas, and the complicated knowledge threshold are the biggest obstacles to becoming a puppet master. It can be said that a puppet master is not only a craftsman but also a theoretical master in practice, and he must have enough fantastic ideas. All of them are top-notch figures in Xiujie.
It is said in the book that the puppets made by puppetry can be used for recreation as well as for fighting, and almost everything that most people can think of can be done by puppets.
It was also the first time for Shen Hao to see a puppet, and it was completely different from what he had imagined.
Although these tomb beasts look strange as a whole, they are definitely not man-made. They are more of a monster than an "item".
Nie Yun did not continue walking, but kept a distance of nearly twenty feet from the entrance of Zhuangzi.
"As long as they don't enter Zhuangzi's range, they won't take the initiative to attack."
"Is it so stupid? Wouldn't it be easy to kill them by standing outside and bombarding them from a long distance?"
"It's a good idea. Just try it and you'll know."
Shen Hao glanced at Nie Yun, and found that the other party didn't seem to be joking, and he didn't see any malice, so he pulled out the goose spine knife from his waist again, walked forward a little distance, and then held the knife with both hands while his true energy flowed in, then slashed Down.
In an instant, a ray of light flew out from the goose spine knife, and the target was the hunched and slow-moving tomb beast more than ten feet away. But.
The glow of the knife dissipated out of thin air just a few feet away from the blade.
"This..." Shen Hao's eyes were wide open, he couldn't believe that his blade light would disappear like this, and then he cut several times, but the result was the same, all the blade light disappeared after a few feet from the blade.
It is estimated that Shen Hao's surprised and astonished expression was full of joy, and Nie Yun bent over laughing when he saw the laughter.
"Hahaha brother, now you know that you can't take tricks from a long distance, don't you? Don't talk about your sword light, even the magic of imperial objects won't work here, unless you can enter the tomb, otherwise you can only fight in close quarters."
"Brother Nie, what is going on?"
"In the Yunjian domain, the technique of separating true energy from the body is forbidden. If you want to use it, you must enter the entrance of the tomb."
"What about in the village?"
"Zhuangzili is only the entrance to the tomb. Only when you officially enter can you leave the Cloud Sword Realm, and you can use various spells normally."
"Then shall we go in?"
"I want to go in. The cloud sword inside is more suitable for my trial. You can follow me, and I will take you in. The closer you are to the entrance, the overall quality of the cloud sword will be better than that of the outside."
Shen Hao thanked him, followed closely behind Nie Yun, and began to walk forward.
He didn't really have much choice. If he didn't enter Zhuangzi, he would have a little emergency dry food in his storage bag, and he would insist on three meals at most. If something happened in the future, he would be too hungry to cope with it.
So even though Shen Hao still hadn't let go of his vigilance towards Nie Yun at this moment, he still followed behind Nie Yun obediently.
In such a dangerous place, if you don't have your thighs, can you increase the difficulty and play a single lane? Get down and live first before thinking about anything else.
As the distance got closer, the tomb beast at the intersection of Zhuangzi reacted. It roared as if to warn Nie Yun not to approach. Claws, a wide mouth full of fangs.
Nie Yun didn't stop, and continued to move forward, but Shen Hao noticed that there were wisps of white mist appearing on Nie Yun's palms, flowing slowly around in the shape of water ribbons.
Is this the Five Elements Water Attribute method? Is this foggy water vapor? Or ice slag?
Before Shen Hao could think about it, Nie Yun had already stepped into the intersection of Caiyuanzhuang. Almost instantly, the covetous tomb beast pounced on him, the speed was too fast to see clearly, and it arrived in front of Nie Yun in the blink of an eye, protruding its claws forward and biting with its big mouth.
Nie Yun's feet were not in a hurry, and he passed by with two staggered steps, flowing like clouds and flowing water, seemingly slow but actually fast, and unexpectedly avoided all the attacks of the tomb beast with just such a sideways step and a diagonal step.
Shen Hao looked a little dazed, and inexplicably ran out a word in his heart: elegant.
There are no dazzling spells, and what is fully used is the melee fighting style. A pair of fleshy palms slapped the tomb beast with a blessing like ice and mist.
Shen Hao's eyes were not enough, he could only count from the muffled sound of slaps, and he could tell that Nie Yun had slapped the tomb beast three times in total.
Bang. At such a moment of dislocation, the tomb beast slammed on the ground without moving. After two breaths, the entire tomb beast's body quickly melted into a liquid like ink and quickly immersed into the ground to disappear.
This is what Nie Yun said before, "return to the core land" tomb beast immortality method?
"Let's go, let's go in. You stay by my side and don't leave for ten feet. I will protect you well." Nie Yun's tone was still calm, but his steps were a little faster than before.
The road behind is still uneven. Although the number of tomb beasts is not that much, there are quite a few. Basically, you will encounter one or two in about twenty feet. It's just that it can't affect Nie Yun at all, three palms can kill a tomb beast, and easily protect Shen Hao to move forward, even the speed is not affected much.
So much so that Shen Hao could only use the speed of the tomb beasts, the explosive force when he stepped on the ground, and the whirring sound of tearing the air when he swung his claws, to keep reminding himself that these tomb beasts are absolutely strong. The reason why they are so easy now is that Nie Yun is too powerful. .
After entering the Zhuangzi, I saw the corpses, all of them had died not long ago, they were all dressed up as farmers, their deaths were miserable, and the corpses were thrown away everywhere. It is conceivable that these are the people of Caiyuanzhuang.
And there are more cloud swords in Zhuangzi, bigger and denser. Of course, there are also fist-sized ones, staying in inconspicuous corners, and the total number is much more than that outside.
Nie Yun pointed to a big house in the distance ahead. Said: "The big house in front is where we will stay. There are few tomb beasts around, and it is convenient to enter when it is close to the entrance. You can also try your luck with a cloud sword."
"Already near the entrance to the tomb?"
"Hmm. There used to be a fish pond behind the big house, and it happened to be dug at the entrance of the tomb."
Shen Hao kept silent, and continued to follow Nie Yun all the way to the big house. Compared with the outside, the inside of the house is much cleaner, at least there are no corpses, and I don't know if Nie Yun simply cleaned it up before.
