Chapter 709: Third-rate Puppet Master

The middle-aged man was originally standing in the crowd watching the show with other townspeople.

But after Li Muyang jumped off the carriage with the princess of the fallen country, the middle-aged man's expression changed slightly.

When the middle-aged man saw Li Muyang's eyes fixed on him, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

He turned and was about to run.

But Li Muyang activated the [Flying Corpse Technique] and rushed forward directly, blocking the middle-aged man head-on.

"Hey...you nightmare ghost, why are you running?" Li Muyang said nonchalantly, "Am I that scary?"

After Li Muyang finished speaking, the middle-aged man who was planning to leave suddenly sneered.

He no longer pretended to be a mortal and said directly: "I didn't expect to run into a puppeteer here... You guys are a bunch of ghosts, you really are haunting me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man let out a shrill beast roar.

The next second, his skin began to crack, and a hideous monster with fleshy wings broke through its mortal skin, revealing its true form under the setting sun.

Its ugly bat-like body was covered with fine gray hair.

With a two-meter-tall body, he stands out from the crowd.

When the huge flesh wings spread out, they looked even more evil and terrifying.

The moment the monster appeared, the surrounding townspeople screamed in fear.

"It's evil! It's evil!"

"It ate Boli! It turned into Boli's appearance!"

The townspeople screamed in fear and fled.

The monster, revealing its true form, laughed crazily: "But you are too weak, puppeteer. Your puppet is weak too. After dark, I will come and eat you! You are just a third-rate puppeteer. I can chew you up in one bite after dark! Hahahaha!"

With a loud laugh, the monster spread its wings, stirred up a strong wind and took off into the air.

Li Muyang used three [Bone-Eviscerating Techniques] on it. Although they hit the target, they failed to stop it from escaping.

And the damage done by the bone-evisceration technique to this monster seemed to be average.

Li Muyang stood there, watching the monster leave, and frowned.

"...It's not an evil god, but it's not an ordinary evil spirit either."

Evil spirits and demons only come out after dark.

A lost soul like the Princess of the Lost Nation would have their powers blocked even during the day, and would be nothing more than a moving corpse.

But the monster in front of him can move freely during the day, has a human-like will, and can even disguise itself as a human and hang out in the town.

This monster called [Nightmare Ghost] refreshed Li Muyang's cognition.

“I didn’t expect there would be such a monster in the Ancient Grudge Well.”

Li Muyang did not try to chase after them. It was getting dark anyway. His chances of winning would be greater with the help of the princess of the fallen country after nightfall.

After the monster flew away, the villagers in the town rushed forward.

They looked at Li Muyang with fear and terror, not daring to get close but not daring to stay away either. They pointed and talked a lot.

Finally, an old man who looked like a village head came over cautiously with a bag of coins in his hand.

"Fuck... Puppet master," the old man said cautiously, "This is the reward collected by our town. Please get rid of that evil man-eating creature. Our whole town will be grateful for your care..."

Li Muyang took the purse and weighed it, quite surprised.

Judging from the familiarity these villagers seem to have, it's not the first time they have done this.

Puppeteer...are there actually many people like him who control puppets to fight in the Ancient Resentment Well?
There is even a special name to refer to this kind of people.

Great, more like a pet battle game.

There are many pet controllers.

However, it is all PVE at the moment, and there are no PVP or missions to challenge other puppeteer gyms.

Li Muyang took the money bag and said, "Okay, lock the door tightly tonight and don't go out. I will help you get rid of this nightmare ghost."

"Uh... Mr. Puppeteer," the old man reminded carefully, "According to common sense, nightmare ghosts live together in groups. When one nightmare ghost appears, there will be at least two or three more nearby. The price I give you is the market price for clearing them all..." Hearing this, Li Muyang raised his eyebrows.

Wow, there’s even a market price... Are these monsters like this, who hang out among people, very common in the Ancient Grievance Well?

Tsk...this scene looks strangely familiar.

Only this group of villagers looked timid and afraid, not daring to look at Li Muyang, otherwise the sense of déjà vu would be even stronger.

After receiving the money bag, Li Muyang said, "Okay, leave it all to me. I'll kill all those nightmare ghosts."

"But you have to prepare accommodation for my hired driver."

"By the way, please prepare dinner for tonight."

After explaining everything and having a fairly sumptuous dinner, Li Muyang and the princess of the fallen country stood guard at the entrance of the town.

He paid attention to the movements on the map and found that the three nightmare ghosts did not meet up, but remained scattered.

Seeing that the nightmare ghosts had no intention of attacking him together, Li Muyang was no longer in a hurry to clean up.

He sat at the entrance of the town and waited until night fell. The town behind him fell into silence, and every household closed their doors and windows and lit oil lamps.

An ugly and ferocious monster figure flew from the distant night sky.

"Hehehe! You puppeteer, why don't you run away?"

The monster that he met in the daytime fell down with a ferocious laugh. Its eyes were bloodshot, and even its body was surrounded by a faint red evil aura. It looked much scarier than it did during the day.

But Li Muyang remained calm.

He looked at it coldly and said, "How dare a small fry like you be so arrogant?"

There are no battle reminders and no battle interface.

Li Muyang's battle with the monster began immediately.

The monster roared and rushed forward, and the princess of the fallen country behind Li Muyang rushed forward without saying a word.

While Li Muyang was distracted by controlling the princess of the fallen country, he was still able to use the bone-eviscerating technique on the monster.

The two-on-one attack quickly forced the monster into a desperate situation.

It roared in shock and anger: "How can you do two things at once? You are not even a third-rate puppeteer!"

Li Muyang sneered and was too lazy to talk nonsense with it.

He controlled the princess of the fallen country and continued to launch a pincer attack on the monster.

The power attribute of this monster indeed exceeds that of him and the princess of the fallen country.

But what’s the use of high attributes?

In the eyes of Li Muyang, a Purple Mansion cultivator who has been involved in high-end games and fought against various great gods and true immortals, this monster is as simple as a piece of blank paper.

Li Muyang can play with it purely by micro-manipulation.

Soon, the monster fell down with a howl, and Li Muyang obtained 100XP.

After the monster fell, the princess of the fallen country pounced on it and began to bite the monster's corpse frantically.

In just ten minutes, the monster was eaten by the princess of the fallen country, leaving only an ugly skeleton.

[Princess of a Lost Nation +500XP]

[Level has been upgraded]

【LV1→LV2】

Just by defeating a nightmare ghost, the Princess of the Lost Country was upgraded.

The upgrade speed and experience gained are much faster than Li Muyang.

"It seems that if I kill these three nightmare ghosts, I can level up several levels."

Li Muyang looked at the red dot on the map, smiled, and went straight to find it with the princess of the fallen country.
