Chapter 129 Immortal Level Puppet

Gu Shihan had spent three whole days in the space, constantly monitoring her physical condition. Only after confirming that there were no abnormalities and no hidden injuries did she leave the space.

The Moon Bracelet she possessed was an extremely magical treasure, with an astonishing time flow rate of one to thirty within it.

Simply put, what happens in the outside world is equivalent to a full thirty days in this space.

With such a disparate time ratio, how could one not be tempted?

Because of the Moon Bracelet, Gu Shihan seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of time.

It is precisely because of this unique advantage that she has enough confidence to simultaneously study the way of talismans, explore the art of alchemy, study the mysteries of formations, and continuously improve her own cultivation level. It can be said that she can take care of all of these things without delaying any of them.

When Xingbai saw Gu Shihan, she quickly said, "Hanhan, you're finally out! If you hadn't come out, I was going to go in and look for you!"

Xingbai had been standing guard in front of the formation—the Mirror Light Formation—his face now filled with a serious expression.

Upon hearing Xingbai's words, Gu Shihan quickly stepped forward and asked, "Xingbai, what exactly happened?"

Xingbai pointed to the masked, black-robed man's corpse on the ground and said anxiously, "Hanhan, look at that black-robed man's corpse! I have a feeling he's gradually getting bigger, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan and Xingbai stepped out of the barrier.

Their gazes were like two sharp arrows, fixed firmly on the masked, black-robed figure in front of them.

As expected, just as Xingbai had said, this person's body was undergoing subtle changes. If one did not use their divine sense, they probably wouldn't be able to see the changes with their eyes.

Gu Shihan, however, seemed somewhat dismissive, and waved his hand, intending to throw out a fireball talisman to burn the corpse.

"Stop! Don't burn it!" Xingbai hurriedly stopped Gu Shihan's actions.

With a swift movement, his small body flashed, and he quickly circled the man in black robes like a gust of wind.

In an instant, the air seemed to tense up because of his actions; Xingbai's move stunned Gu Shihan.

The next moment, Xingbai suddenly cried out in terror, "Hanhan, something terrible has happened! This thing isn't a real human at all, but a controlled immortal-level puppet! Judging from the situation, it has obviously started to initiate the self-destruct program! Once it self-destructs, its master will be able to see our situation."

Before he finished speaking, Xingbai took action without hesitation.

His small, agile claws lashed out like lightning toward the black-robed man's head, moving so fast that they were almost invisible.

In the blink of an eye, a bead emitting a soft white light had landed steadily in his hand.

The disdain on Gu Shihan's face vanished instantly, replaced by a solemn expression. She cautiously approached the body, carefully examining every detail.

“Xingbai, you’re right, this is indeed a human body, but many parts clearly show signs of repair.” Gu Shihan said, while gently touching the repaired areas with her spiritual power, feeling the subtle differences.

If she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that the black-robed man's internal organs were all cold, mechanical parts!
In terms of appearance, texture, and function, these organs are almost identical to those of a living person, and in some aspects, they are even superior.

After all, they will never get sick, and they are very likely to possess the sensory abilities given to them by their creators, allowing them to act freely according to their owners' wishes.

Xingbai closed his eyes tightly, desperately searching his memory for anything related to the Celestial-level puppet. As he delved deeper into his recollections, his expression grew increasingly grim, and his heart filled with terror.

Xingbai said in a trembling voice, "Hanhan, although we are temporarily safer after taking out that bead, the corpse is rapidly expanding and growing larger without the bead's control!"

Upon hearing the noise, Gu Shihan was startled and hurriedly turned around to check the situation.

As she looked around, she was shocked to find that the corpses that had been lying quietly on the ground were undergoing astonishing changes.

The corpse swelled up at a visible rate, like a giant, overinflated balloon, getting bigger and more bloated every second.

Seeing this, Gu Shihan couldn't help but inwardly groan, "Oh no! This is a huge problem!"

They knew that the reason the corpse was in such a strange state was because its body had been soaked in countless medicinal liquids for a long time.

After such a long period of soaking, the toxins contained in the corpse must have reached an extremely dangerous level.

If this corpse is allowed to continue to swell until it finally explodes, the deadly poison it releases could spread rapidly, corroding all areas within a radius of a thousand miles. The consequences would be unimaginable!
Xingbai, standing to the side, also realized the seriousness of the situation. She dared not be negligent in the slightest, her hands moving swiftly like phantoms to form hand seals. Instantly, streams of binding power surged from her hands, tightly surrounding the corpse and forming a solid barrier to prevent the poisonous gas from spreading outward.

However, in just a few breaths, the green plants around the corpse began to show signs of withering and decay.

The once vibrant and lush plants now appear as if they have suffered a fatal blow, with their leaves turning yellow, their branches withering, and their vitality rapidly fading away.

This demonstrates just how potent and terrifying the toxicity contained in this corpse was.

If effective measures are not taken in time to curb this situation and it is allowed to continue, this land will inevitably face a devastating catastrophe.

The most feasible and effective solution at present is to set the corpse on fire before it completes its transformation, burning it to ashes to prevent future problems.

Gu Shihan's eyes narrowed, and without the slightest hesitation, she waved her jade hand, and a ball of blazing red lotus karmic fire suddenly appeared.

However, what was strange was that the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, which was known for burning everything, seemed to lose its power after coming into contact with the corpse in front of it, and could not ignite or burn it at all.

It didn't even leave a trace, as if it had only burned the ethereal air.

"Xingbai, what exactly is going on? Why can't the Red Lotus Karmic Fire burn this corpse?" Gu Shihan frowned and turned to Xingbai beside her with a puzzled look.
