Chapter 539 - Iron-Armored Puppet
“Since someone is willing to pay such a high price, of course they won’t let him!”
He quickly collected all the Houttuynia grass and put it into his treasure bag.
He didn’t expect to see such an unexpected harvest besides the legendary mysterious tree.
In fact, there were quite a number of strange flowers and plants in the entire mysterious forest. It was just that he didn’t have the time to slowly gather them for the time being.
Klein placed the coordinates of the mysterious forest on his map, preparing to continue gathering them after he had settled the matter.
He took out his notebook and flipped to the third page. Klein happened to catch a glimpse of the main ingredients required by the Immortal Divine Medicine.
Other than the Black Lotus Flower, there was only one main ingredient left.
In other words, as long as Klein obtained the last ingredient, he could begin preparing to refine the Immortal Divine Medicine.
This was something he didn’t even dare to think of before.
If he really refined the Immortal Divine Medicine, then Klein would be considered one of the best in the world.
Even if he couldn’t truly rejuvenate himself and live forever, he could use it to exchange for a large amount of wealth and resources.
After walking out of the mysterious forest and returning to the main road, he found that it was still desolate and barren. It was a stark contrast to the dense jungle from before.
This made James feel a little curious.
Generally speaking, although each space was different, the ecological environment was basically the same.
After crossing this chasm, the situation here seemed to subvert their worldview and understanding.
The small spaces here seemed to have too big a connection, each with their own characteristics, and even the climate and ecology had a huge difference.
They began to be a little curious about what kind of place the Demon King Saxe lived in.
Since it was the Demon King, everyone knew that the space he lived in must be dark and terrifying. However, it wasn’t a place where miserable screams were often heard.
Thinking of the helpless little girl who had lost her memory, Klein began to feel anxious.
He decided to hurry up with James and rescue her as soon as possible.
According to the location on the map, Demon King Saxe’s base camp was indeed not too far from here.
But the biggest problem was that the closer they were, the greater the danger.
Demon King Saxe must have set up many guards and hidden sentries nearby. He definitely wouldn’t let strangers pass easily.
As expected, about two kilometers away from the location shown on the map, Klein encountered the guards set up by Demon King Saxe.
But what the two of them didn’t expect was that the people blocking their way weren’t real people. Instead, they were a group of well-made armors.
Previously, James thought that these armors must be the legendary knights who were invincible.
However, after they took care of the two armors blocking their way, they found that there was nothing inside. It was just puppets controlled by special magic.
This surprised James.
According to what he knew, there was indeed a kind of puppet spell that could control dead objects.
It could guide these puppets to attack and defend, and it could even perform daily tasks.
It was not unusual to control a single puppet. He had met a few puppeteers who were quite skilled.
However, the situation before his eyes was a little different. The materials used to control the puppets were directly proportional to the magic level of the puppet.
The control of heavy metal armor was indeed the most complicated. It was already very troublesome to control an Iron-Armored Puppet.
More than ten puppets attacking together required more energy than one could imagine.
Could it be that this was also the work of Demon King Saxe? Then his ability was indeed beyond imagination…
Thankfully, this was just an appetizer for Klein and James. It wasn’t difficult to deal with, and they could completely deal with it with ordinary attacks.
James killed two birds with one stone. With two bangs, the two sets of armor were completely penetrated and collapsed.
James snorted coldly. This thing wasn’t as powerful as the legends said. This was way too weak!
Klein frowned slightly. “Don’t underestimate your opponent. Underestimating your opponent is a sign that bad luck is about to begin!”
At that moment, Klein and James heard the cracking sounds that made their teeth ache.
When they turned around, they saw an Iron-Armored Puppet about the height of three people walking slowly towards them.
After all, it had a steel body, so its movements were always slower than humans.
However, the workmanship of the Iron-Armored Puppet was very meticulous. Even with its clumsy steps, each person gave off an immense sense of pressure.
James frowned slightly. Could this be the opponent’s trump card? It doesn’t look too difficult to deal with?
As he was thinking, James drew his bow and fired three arrows at different directions of the Iron-Armored Puppet.
Three arrows at the head, chest, and legs!
As long as one was hit by an arrow, the opponent would be severely injured.
Although the three arrows happened to hit the opponent’s main body, the slow-moving Iron-Armored Puppet didn’t even dodge.
But what James didn’t expect was that these arrows couldn’t cause any substantial damage to the opponent!
With a few bangs, the bows and arrows bounced off the moment they touched the iron armor. There was not even the slightest trace of injury on the iron armor!
James was stunned. Only now did he realize that he had been happy too early.
If those small Iron-Armored Puppets from before were just appetizers, then this colossus was the main meal.
The material used by the Iron-Armored Puppet in front of them was different from the other few. It seemed to be abnormally strong and had already exceeded his imagination.
James refused to believe it. He tried a few more times, but the result was the same.
And the incessant attacks seemed to have angered the fellow in front of him. It began to stretch out its hand to block!
These attacks were no different from tickling it. It could easily block them with a simple stretch of its hand.
One of the arrows ricocheted back like James’s face.
Klein was shocked. He knew that James wouldn’t be able to dodge. He quickly grabbed James by the shoulder and pushed him away.
James felt the arrow brush past his skin. He felt his scalp turn numb.
This fellow was indeed more terrifying than he had imagined. Not only was its defense extremely strong, but it could also reflect damage.
It seemed like ordinary methods wouldn’t be able to deal with it.
And at that moment, the gigantic Iron-Armored Puppet began to use its strength to teach these two uninvited guests a lesson.
Klein frowned slightly. With his common sense, it wasn’t an easy task to control such a large Iron-Armored Puppet.
If it wasn’t for the manipulator behind it, who was extremely powerful, it would definitely have used something that could be infused with energy.
There were many things in this world that possessed such power. For example, those magic gemstones could provide such power.
However, even if a bunch of gemstones was gathered together, the power would be negligible. It was simply not enough to power such a large Iron-Armored Puppet!
