No hope for eternal life

Chapter 183: Fighting the Spirit Puppet

Then, Hu Tiandu reminded everyone: "Attention, the competition has begun."

As soon as Hutiandu finished speaking, he took action and sent all the 100 people present into the cave.

After Mu Changsheng entered the cave, he quickly looked around and found that ten light blue spirit puppets were running towards him, trying to surround him.

Mu Changsheng was not clear about the strength of these spirit puppets, so he naturally could not just sit there and wait for death and allow the spirit puppets to surround him.

So, Mu Changsheng found a direction and broke through.

There were two spirit puppets in the direction where Mu Changsheng was breaking out. After seeing Mu Changsheng, the two spirit puppets immediately launched an attack, and their attack method was extremely strange.

The two spirit puppets hugged each other, and the magic power condensed in front of them, forming a laser, which shot towards Mu Changsheng at a high speed.

Upon seeing this, Mu Changsheng threw out a true fist seal, which collided with the attacking laser, canceling the two out.

"The combined attack of the two spirit puppets is almost as strong as mine." Mu Changsheng said secretly in his heart and had a certain judgment on the strength of the spirit puppets.

Then, Mu Changsheng decisively used the secret technique of blood and energy transformation, and two bright red fist attacks were launched one after another.

One punch mark destroyed the second attack of the spirit puppet, and another punch mark hit the head of a spirit puppet.

The spirit puppet that was hit on the head was forced to separate from the other spirit puppet, and Mu Changsheng took the opportunity to escape from the encirclement.

However, Mu Changsheng also noticed that the spirit puppet whose head he hit was not hurt or affected, and continued to run wildly behind him, chasing him.

"Sure enough, it is not realistic to destroy these spirit puppets." Mu Changsheng said inwardly, but this was also within his expectations. If the spirit puppets could be easily destroyed, the organizer would lose a large number of spirit puppets after a competition. It would be better to release a group of monsters in the cave.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng took advantage of his speed and dragged the spirit puppet behind him to wander around the area, figuring out the entire terrain of the area he was in, in preparation for the subsequent protracted battle.

Mu Changsheng judged that the spirit puppets that would appear later would be the highlight, because the current ten spirit puppets could not pose any threat to him at all, and the same was true for the other ninety-nine people.

Just as Mu Changsheng expected, half an hour after entering the cave, ten more dark blue spirit puppets appeared. Moreover, these ten additional dark blue spirit puppets had surpassed him in speed and were chasing and intercepting him.

"Then the power of these ten spirit puppets should be even greater." Mu Changsheng judged in his heart.

Soon, Mu Changsheng had to engage in close combat with ten deep blue spirit puppets.

Like the light blue spirit puppet, the dark blue spirit puppet can also work together in pairs to attack.

Five powerful lasers shot out and locked onto Mu Changsheng from all directions.

In response to this, Mu Changsheng first instantly used the secret art of blood and energy transformation, threw out two fist seals to block two laser attacks, and then activated three monster talismans. Three monsters took shape and blocked the remaining three laser attacks respectively.

The Wuliang Talisman is a fourth-grade primary talisman, so the three Wuliang water monsters have strength comparable to that of the early Nascent Soul stage. Not only can they easily block the attack, but they can also easily break up the six combined spirit puppets, allowing Mu Changsheng to escape the encirclement again.

"The existence time of the Wuliang Water Monster is only half a quarter of an hour, and the spirit puppets increase once every half an hour." Mu Changsheng calculated the time in his mind. Now that the Wuliang Water Monster is temporarily holding back the ten deep blue spirit puppets, Mu Changsheng must stay away from the deep blue spirit puppets during this period of time and delay as much time as possible.

Half a minute later, the water monster turned into a pool of water and disappeared. The ten deep blue spirit puppets began to search for Mu Changsheng again.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Mu Changsheng was surrounded by the Deep Blue Spirit Puppet again. He had to use the same old trick and use three ghost talismans to hold back the Deep Blue Spirit Puppet.

This cycle repeated four times, and half an hour had passed. Five more light purple spirit puppets appeared in the area.

Faster speed and stronger strength, Mu Changsheng discovered during a duel that the strength of a light purple spirit puppet was equivalent to the combined strength of two dark blue spirit puppets.

The combined strength of the two light purple spirit puppets can completely suppress Mu Changsheng who is in the blood and qi transformation state.

So now Mu Changsheng can only try his best to avoid the Light Purple Spirit Puppet and delay time. If he really can't avoid it, he will use the Ghost Talisman to entangle it.

So far, there are three kinds of spirit puppets in the area: light blue, dark blue, and light purple, and the strength of the three kinds of spirit puppets has increased significantly.

"Bang!" Mu Changsheng punched away the two light blue spirit puppets and thought to himself: "It's almost time for the next batch of spirit puppets to appear."

As soon as Mu Changsheng finished his thought, five dark purple spirit puppets appeared within the range of his spiritual sense.

"The colors of the four spirit puppets just correspond to the colors of the fourth-grade spirit stones. Needless to say, the strength of this dark purple spirit puppet must be even stronger." Mu Changsheng's heart sank slightly. The strength of the light purple spirit puppet was already far beyond that of ordinary Jindan peak cultivators. He seriously suspected that the strength of these dark purple spirit puppets had reached the Yuanying level.

Faced with this situation, Mu Changsheng decided not to use the Wuliang Talisman anymore: "I have already used thirty-seven Wuliang Talismans. It would be a bit worthless if I waste all of them just to compete for the first place."

"Moreover, with the appearance of the deep purple spirit puppet, I'm afraid that most people will be eliminated soon. I just need to hold on for a while longer and I will be able to secure a place in the top 50." Mu Changsheng thought to himself. After all, this is just a competition to select the top 50, and it is not time for an all-out competition yet.

Without the help of the Wuling Talisman, Mu Changsheng soon fell into a situation of heavy siege, especially the Deep Purple Spirit Puppet. The power of a casual attack required Mu Changsheng to deal with it carefully, which also verified Mu Changsheng's guess about the strength of the Deep Purple Spirit Puppet.

Mu Changsheng already had a plan to deal with this. He instantly activated two elixir-summoning talismans to enhance his own strength and foundation.

Coupled with the blessing of the blood and qi transformation secret art, Mu Changsheng can not only compete with several deep purple spirit puppets, but also ignore the attacks of other colored spirit puppets, and resolve the crisis in an instant.

Two quarters of an hour later, the effect of the alchemy talisman expired, and Mu Changsheng could clearly feel his own strength fading.

"It's time to go." Mu Changsheng decisively activated the spiritual seal in his hand and left the giant tree cave.

After Mu Changsheng left the cave, he immediately looked around and found that more than ninety people had appeared on the third floor, which was almost what Mu Changsheng had expected.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng turned his gaze to the cave, and saw that only Zhuang Beihai, Ji Leyao, Mu Xun and Hu Pingzhi were still persisting in the cave, and it was obvious that they all aimed at the title of first place.

As time went on, five more deep purple spirit puppets appeared in the area where Zhuang Beihai and the other three were. The pressure suddenly increased, and Mu Changsheng also took the opportunity to see the true strength of the four.

Zhuang Beihai's figure was ethereal, and his speed was enough to match that of the Deep Purple Spirit Puppet. His sword was like a fish in water under his control. The long sword turned into a flying sword, roaming around Zhuang Beihai, blocking the attacks of the spirit puppets one by one. His defense was impeccable.

Ji Leyao's fighting style is the standard style of a talisman master - the talisman sea tactics. No matter how many spirit puppets you have, they can't be more than the number of talismans in Ji Leyao's hands. Moreover, among Ji Leyao's talismans, there are also continuous types like the ghost talisman. With a large number of talismans, Ji Leyao can be said to be the most relaxed one among the four.
