This puppeteer is not normal

Chapter 8 Encounter
Skeleton soldiers are basic monsters in the city of fog, and they are easy targets for puppeteers with a little strength.But if it is assembled into a corps, it will be difficult to deal with.I don't know what they were like before they were alive, but even after they died, they still retained a very high combat capability of the corps.

I'm afraid that only the quick assassins with large-scale output skills and the Moon Tomb can annihilate them so easily at their rookie stage.

And the continuous beheading ability demonstrated by the Moon Tomb just now far exceeds that of ordinary high-speed dolls in the black iron stage.

"Yao, can you see the approximate amount of magic power output?" Tong Caring swallowed and asked.

Jiang Yao naturally shook his head: "The magic power fluctuates too violently, ups and downs, unpredictable. And it uses the inherent skills of the puppet. I can't see how the chain reaction between those skills and the magic power output is. Absolutely impossible to judge."

After all, the output of magic power is only a theoretical value. If the two variables of "inherent skills" and "doll style" are added to it, the actual combat ability of the doll will change qualitatively.

The chain reaction of the two and the output of magic power will cause the destructive power to reality to far exceed the estimated value.

Powerful puppeteers must not underestimate each other.

Zhou Hao looked at Aaron with a complicated expression, clenching his fists.Panting heavily, the giant ape returned to the team, but sat on the ground five meters away from Zhou Haoshang, unwilling to get any closer.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Hao naturally felt even more uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Chen Rong and Tong Guan immediately leaned over to comfort him.

Jiang Yao opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and found Aaron who was teasing the little clay figurine in his arms.

"that……"

"Needless to say, I probably see what you guys want to do." But before she could explain, he interrupted, "It's a good thing to cheer up a friend's mental transformation, but the mere stimulation of an outsider may not help. What, the one who can really change him is himself."

"Of course we know that," Jiang Yao's tone was a bit bitter, "Maybe we shouldn't spoil him so much before and protect him too much."

Aaron nodded, didn't say much or ask more, he wasn't interested in their relationship and story.

Seeing this, Jiang Yao no longer entangled in this matter, but took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Speaking of which, you are a student of No. [-] Middle School, but you are not in the puppet class?"

"Yes." Aaron nodded.

"It's no wonder that your strength is outstanding at this stage, but it's not on the priority list."

"Key list?"

"You don't even know this?" Jiang Yao looked strange.Anyone who has a little ambition in the doll recruitment will pay attention to this list.

But coincidentally, Aaron's original body really didn't have this ambition at first, he just wanted to lead a peaceful life with a doll.At this time, he dug deep into his memory and indeed found the relevant nouns.

However, I have only heard it mentioned before, and I don't know the details.

"It is an annual investigation list for the puppet aspiring students of the Puppet Artists Association organized by the Joint Department of Puppet Masters. It is released in the form of a ranking list. It is opened in the last year of senior high school and updated every month. The scope is people from schools in various cities. Even class. Those who are on the list have great advantages for further studies, and they will get more resources in the last year. If they can enter the national list in the final national recruitment examination, then the future will be even smoother." Jiang Yao said slowly.

"Sounds like a good incentive mechanism, wouldn't it work if it weren't for the puppet class?" Aaron thought about it and felt good.

"You can take the initiative to ask the school to put up the doll's aspirations file, so that you can enter the scope of the list. However, the school's temporary addition quota is also limited, and it is generally reserved for some hidden bosses in the school. A guy who concentrates on preparations and waits until the last few months to soar into the sky." Jiang Yao said and glanced at Aaron again.

She originally thought that Aaron was the secret weapon invited by the No. [-] Middle School, to be used for the final ranking at the end of the semester.

But looking at it now, he seems to be a real half-way monk at all.

But thinking about it carefully, although Yuetomb's performance looks good at present, she has not seen Aaron's upper limit. If it is only at the black iron level, it is still a bit short of time to go far on the list.

I feel as if walking with Aaron will always inexplicably place Aaron in a higher position than myself, which leads to some misjudgments.

Jiang Yao silently reached out and rubbed the center of his brows.

"Now that the second semester of the third year of high school has just started, those talented people should start to make their mark." Aaron said.

"Indeed, I don't know what fun to watch this year." Jiang Yao smiled, feeling that he didn't really care about the appearance of the list, or was he confident?
"Interesting." Aaron also smiled.

He really likes the feeling of being the leader of this era, and it is because of this that human beings will continue to improve and become stronger.

Now he might be in it too.

The two chatted about some trivial matters, and Aaron learned about what they had learned in the puppet class from Jiang Yao.Except for some confidential teaching content that cannot be disclosed because of the oath, there is nothing that cannot be said about the general itinerary and academic guidelines.

Their daily content is to develop magic power circuits and practice actual combat ability. During the winter vacation, they went to Zhuhe Grand Vision to conduct a large training camp that brought together the top universities in the three cities of Zhuhe Province.

The main river is the backbone of the deep river, and this long river almost runs through the entire Yanhuang.Spanning such a long space, the main river will naturally not survive the peak period of the initial appearance of the horizon of chaos in the era of disaster.

The upstream of this big river is connected to the mysterious horizon on the snow-capped mountains, while the mouth of the downstream leads to the chaotic horizon of the ocean.But the most troublesome thing for the officials in the main river horizon system is the middle reaches. At the junction of several tributaries of the main river, three large chaotic horizons eroded each other after bordering each other, and finally produced wonderful changes and merged into one. A large horizon of the main river covering most of the middle reaches.

The situation inside is not much worse than that of the Misty City at all, and because of the mixed vision, various types of monsters, and the internal terrain is also very complicated, it is definitely more dangerous than the Misty City for newcomers.

This is the first time Aaron has heard of the news that colleges and universities in the three major cities of Zhuhe Province have jointly conducted a training camp, and he has never heard of it in his memory. It seems that the previous secrecy was done well, or the original body never inquired about it. .

Jiang Yao's team was formed very early, and it seemed to have achieved good results during the big training camp, but everything was based on the premise of Jiang Yao and another member of the team.

That is, in that training camp, there was a conflict among the members of the team, and the relationship took a turn for the worse.

It was a lie to say that the last person asked for leave and didn't come. The actual situation is that the whole team is a bit difficult to accept each other. After reporting to the school, the school also has a headache to adjust. People with good relationship left together.

The person who left the team was a scout. Because of her departure, the team lacked the position to quickly clean up high-risk output players. The team's pressure came more to Zhou Hao who was the shield.But on the one hand, Zhou Hao's faults are also the key point of the conflict, so the three girls need Zhou Hao to cheer up, regardless of their personal relationship or team spirit.

Soon, Zhou Hao recovered a little under the comfort of the two, and the team finally started back on the road.

This time we did not let individuals deal with multiple monsters alone.The four of them were working together, and Aaron let Xiaoyue's tomb go out from time to time to have a look, and let the moving one move around while scouting.

"The scale of these buildings is so large." Tong Guan couldn't help sighing as he passed a black stone building on the way.

"Yeah, it's hard to imagine what kind of civilization lived here." Jiang Yao looked at the generally tall buildings and nodded.

"Do you want to go in and have a look?" Jiang Yao asked, pointing to the nearest tall building.

The structure of this house is relatively simple, and it won't take long to enter and exit.This is the house-touching behavior that people who come to the city of mist like to do most, because treasure chests are easy to refresh in corners that are easily overlooked by people, and there are naturally many such places in the house.

Everyone had no objections, so Aaron went directly to the Moon Tomb to explore the way.

The crowd followed and walked slowly into it.

The empty room was dark, with only a little white light coming in through the stone cracks of the building, providing a meager vision for everyone.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, Aaron felt that the shuttle effect of Shadow of the Moon Tomb was triggered.

He immediately raised his hand to signal.

Seeing his actions, everyone immediately entered a state of preparation for battle.

"There are magic fluctuations." Aaron frowned.

"Magic power?" Just as Chen Rong said something, a white light lit up in a corner in the darkness, and when he looked up, he saw the white light burning like a flame.

"The soul screams!" Jiang Yao's pupils narrowed slightly, and he said the name of the magic, and at the same time, he immediately raised his finger to the place where the white light was shining.

The small plane whizzed past in the darkness, and then accompanied by the surge of magic power, the ammunition simulated by magic power spewed out flames, and the short-lived sound of bullets breaking through the air could be faintly heard.

Something had been hit in the dark.

"Only one hit." Aaron calmly reported the number of hits he heard.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

What are you kidding?Just one click?How could the continuous shooting in one direction just hit once? The moment the opponent cast the spell, his position was completely exposed, and Jiang Yao's plane speed was no worse than some agile dolls.

Besides, how did he hear the bullet hit clearly under the surprise attack just now?

Aaron didn't explain, or there was no time. Just now, everyone's sight was covered by the flames of the magic ammunition of Jiang Yao's small plane, but the white flame has not been extinguished yet.

The flames stirred, and they came out of the darkness and flew towards everyone.

And the invisible enemy has finished casting the spell. Even if it is not possible to confirm whether the opponent has only been hit by one bullet, the fact that it has not been directly killed is already certain.

"spread!"

The speed of the white flame was not fast, Jiang Yao immediately ordered.

Everyone didn't stand still, and they all scattered to avoid her before her words fell.

The flame missed, and exploded in mid-air without any loud noise, just like silent fireworks, dissipating with little blue light particles.

But Aaron saw the effect of this magic at a glance.

Soul fragments are mixed in the magic power call, which has the effect of igniting and contaminating spiritual power, which is quite fatal for new mages who do not have enough mental power control ability.

However, this magic is very low-level. Although it looks good, the medium of casting soul fragments requires the soul of a highly intelligent race.With this kind of medium, Aaron can play some more powerful tricks for it by himself, but this spellcaster can only be used to ignite the spiritual power, which is too low.

But no matter how incompetent it is, it is still quite a threat to this team.

The point is, who is the caster?
Aaron didn't intend to touch it all the time. When he rubbed his fingers together, he pinched a small white ball in his hand, and then shot it directly towards the source of the flame.

The white ball disappeared into the night instantly, and the next moment, some dazzling white light exploded.

Everyone was attracted by the sudden bright vision in the dark. Although it felt a little stinging at first glance, they still saw the attacker under the light.

A hunchbacked humanoid monster that looks emaciated, but has six arms!One pair of legs is on the ground with four limbs. At first glance, it looks like a big spider. The other pair of forearms seems to have been cut off, and then tied together with a pair of rusted blades. The last pair of arms are raised high above the ground. Above the body, the fingers moved in a strange rhythm, and blue-white magic particles flickered on the fingertips.

"Mist spellcaster!" Jiang Yao exclaimed.

"This is not what the rookie area should have!"

"how is this possible!"

Surprised cries sounded one after another.

Aaron didn't know this thing, and he only heard a name, which didn't give any valuable clues, but he saw the opposite face, the eyes shrank into two small rotten flesh, dotted with blue and white flames, obviously he didn't expect anything Physiological vision.

Therefore, the opponent will not be hindered by the flash.

Sure enough, the monster directly launched an attack, and its thin limbs exerted strength at the same time, but the explosive power was extremely amazing, and it disappeared from everyone's sight.

The figure of the other party jumped out of the range of the light, and escaped into the darkness, and then a ray of cold light shot out from the darkness and went straight to Jiang Yao's neck.

When the fragile neck was about to be chopped off by the rust blade, Jiang Yao's face remained unchanged, and a black and white figure appeared between her and the spellcaster.

Ding!
The rusty blade collided with the rigid wing, making a crisp sound, and the plane that was still ten meters away had returned to Jiang Yao to block the knife for her.

"After deconstructing the puppet, use some kind of spell to quickly bring it back to yourself in the deconstructed state. It's an amazing skill." Aaron, who witnessed this scene, commented in his heart, and then stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

The gray-black little man appeared at the moment the caster pulled back to the ground, the shadow restarted, and the shattered spikes grew, and after approaching, he punched out several times.

The spellcaster's prostrate body suddenly lifted up, and his prostrate arms swung swiftly, colliding with Moon Tomb's fist.

puff!

Click!

The shadow's shuttle effect was triggered quickly, but it didn't benefit much, because the opponent's attacks were too intensive.

Black holes popped out of the spellcaster's hands, but its out-of-shape strength also shattered the shattered spikes of the moongrave.And relying on the advantage of the slender arms, he found a chance to counterattack in the next second, and directly punched the small short hand of the Moon Grave directly on its big head.

bump!
The tomb of the moon rolled on the ground like a rubber ball, and it just rolled down to Aaron's feet.

"Run!" Jiang Yao shouted.

The other three who had been stunned by the attack and defense at that moment just now came back to their senses and ran away.Chen Rong directly called out her lizardman, grabbed herself and Tong Caring and ran out of the house at high speed.

Facing the Mist Spellcasters, at their level, they can only damage the dolls for no reason, and they might die if they stay!
Zhou Hao looked at the two people who were being carried by the lizard man and ran away quickly, and immediately called out the giant ape, wanting it to pick him up.

But obviously, the giant ape didn't appreciate it, and instead looked towards the battlefield behind him.

Aaron and Jiang Yao retreated while dealing with the spellcaster, preparing to lead the killer in the dark to a wide and well-lit place to deal with.

Facing it in the cramped darkness is no small risk.

Jiang Yao's face was calm, and he lured the enemy in step by step.

In this case, Aaron's moon tomb does not have the blessing of a puppet, and the gap between it and Jiang Yao's small plane is revealed.The endurance is too poor, and the output capacity is not stable enough.If there is a puppet blessing, the puppet's magic power control ability will be improved, battery life and output will be significantly improved, and the loss of magic power will be effectively reduced, and the combat ability will be greatly improved.

Judging from the current situation, Jiang Yao only thinks that Aaron's level probably ends here.

But even Jiang Yao didn't expect that these days, there are people who dare to wander around the horizon of chaos without pretending to be a puppet.

tread!tread!
Just as the two of them pulled the spellcaster to the light at the door, the sound of heavy footsteps came from behind.

Jiang Yao turned pale and shouted without looking back: "Zhou Hao! Take care of your puppet!"

"I can't control it!"

"Roar——" the giant ape beat his chest with full momentum, and rushed directly over Jiang Yao's head to the speller.

As for the spell caster, the rhythmic hands behind his back quickly kneaded, and soon another group of "soul screams" condensed.In its cloudy eyes, flames flickered, and it seemed to be showing weakness after facing the giant ape's charge.

But both Aaron and Jiang Yao knew that it was just using experience to confirm whether it could really kill this big guy!
"Don't give it away, teammates..." Aaron was a little speechless, and a little dark gold flashed in his dark eyes.
