……

In recent days, Li Ye has been focusing on studying puppetry and formations.

The main purpose is naturally to break the formation restrictions of the lava underground palace as much as possible, and even make use of it.

Then he used the puppets as an expedition team, going deep into the dilapidated buildings on his behalf to open up the wasteland.

The improvement effect of spiritual consciousness in the research of first-level skills was extremely rapid, and he did not spend much effort to master it.

He didn't even use the 1,000 experience points he had received from his previous promotion to the Sky Realm Tree.

What I have on hand today can improve my puppetry skills a lot!
As for the formation, the experience required is really too much.

Subsequently, Qingxuanmi will provide a steady supply of experience points, and after obtaining the complete second-level inheritance, Li Ye will have a better understanding of the formation restrictions of the lava underground palace, so he can slow down a bit.

"Let's address the shortcomings first... Improving your puppetry skills not only allows you to customize the most suitable puppet, but more importantly, combining the two will also increase your range of manipulation..."

"This way I can make the puppet explore deeper!"

A gleam of light flashed in Li Ye's eyes, and he put all his experience into puppetry.

The long-lost and familiar inspiration emerged in my mind and turned into the accumulation and precipitation of my skills.

After a few moments, Li Ye came back to his senses and looked at the panel.

[Puppet Level 5629, Top Grade (7000/)]

"First-grade superior puppetry. This is roughly enough to try out my idea..."

Li Ye looked thoughtful.

…………

buzzing-

In the spacious and empty hall, several puppets had dark red eyes, and patterns on their bodies flowed with flaming ghostly power. The heavily armored puppet at the front of the team was in the lead, and they responded to each other.

Then the forbidden formation was connected and formed, forming a battle formation between several puppets, and faintly evolving blazing fire, covering each puppet with a layer of flame coat.

The overall combat power suddenly increased a lot, and it already has the power of the second level!

Its shape and structure are very similar to the formation of the lava underground palace, and it can even be integrated into it without any disobedience!

I saw that the head of the remote puppet in the middle was open, like a cannon.

As soon as Li Ye had a thought, dark red spiritual power gathered, and a red fireball suddenly blasted out while the runes flashed, triggering the power of the battle formation to make it expand inch by inch.

By the time it hit the huge rock in front, it had already turned into a giant fireball the size of a water tank!

boom!
Red flames shot up into the sky, completely engulfing the huge rock. The flames spread in all directions, but were completely suppressed by the restrictions within the hall. The flames gradually faded, revealing the huge rock.

Most of it was blown apart, and the remaining small part was still burning with flames, appearing to be melted.

This power is no less than that of the Fiery Sun Fireball Talisman that Li Ye had refined!
But it's not over.

Li Ye then tried several other types of puppets.

Birds, melee combat, tigers and leopards... each launched attacks with the support of the battle formation. Even the bird puppets that were not originally designed for combat had some of the style of fire beasts.

Covered in red flames, its attacks can cause serious injuries with the high temperature.

As for melee combat, tigers and leopards, their performances are even more amazing, and they have no problem facing fire beasts of the same level alone!

"Using the spirit stone and the fire beast crystal core as dual cores, combined with the array pattern, a first-level puppet can temporarily possess quasi-second-level combat power... The puppet battle formation is now complete!"

Li Ye looked satisfied. With his puppetry reaching the upper level of the first order, he could apply some of the incomplete second-order skills!

He stretched out his hand to call the puppet back and made a quick inspection of the engraved array.

These puppets all have signs of burning and melting. If they are activated a few more times, they will probably be scrapped on the spot!
But this was within Li Ye's expectations.
"Combat power is one aspect, and it can make up for my usual combat power to a certain extent..."

"More importantly, if my deduction is correct, this is directly derived from the first and second-order forbidden battle formations in the Lava Underground Palace. With more experiments, I should be able to find a match with them..."

"Once successful, these puppets will be able to move through it more easily, causing less damage and exploring further..."

"It's just a little burn and melt. As it's a consumable, if it breaks, we can just replace it with a new one!"

Li Ye spoke in an arrogant tone.

Now he has the most spiritual materials of the earth and fire series, which are exactly what these puppets need. He can consume the puppets without regard for the loss!
As long as we can find some ancient treasures from the lava underground palace, it will be a great deal!

………………

Follow the passage opened up through Dengyunfang City and return to the Earth Fire Cave.

After making sure that no one else had been here before, Li Ye directly released a team of puppets, each with a different appearance and with armor plates mainly in yellow and red, to explore the way ahead.

"The Ma family never imagined that the lava underground palace they were searching for entrances to in the underground fire caves outside would be right below Dengyunfang City..."

Li Ye was always observing the situation around him and felt a little sigh.

Although given the situation of the Red Mountains, there must be other passages that can lead directly to the underground lava.

But in terms of safety and convenience, after a brief research, Li Ye found that the Dengyun Market was the most suitable place.

Advancing step by step, soon the lava palace that seemed to have remained unchanged in the lava for eternity came into view.

Li Ye's eyes also became more serious, but his pace of driving the puppet forward did not stop at all.

Only when he saw the vaguely visible red forbidden formation in front of him did his expression look a little better.

"I haven't been here for a while. Although the formation restrictions have changed, there's no obvious expansion... I'm not sure if there's further expansion in other areas..."

“But you can still continue exploring along your current route!”

Li Ye made a judgment and immediately held a jade bottle in his hand.

The condensed liquid gushed out and turned into a water shield that enveloped him, instantly isolating most of the heat.

"Thank you, Ma family, for the gift. They even sent me a fireproof and heat-resistant treasure..."

"In order to live up to your spirit, I will definitely pick up all the garbage outside!"

Li Ye joked.

He immediately drove a team of puppets that were more suitable for the situation here into the restricted formation and headed towards the building island that had been explored earlier.
