Five villagers in power armor pounced and grabbed at the sheep, playing a game of tag with them, chasing after the energetic, strong, and agile sheep that were running around everywhere, and even getting knocked away by the sheep... The entire farm was in chaos.

The only villager who hadn't participated watched the chaotic scene not far away, silently took out his phone, and sent a message to his fellow villagers.

Don't be so arrogant with just a few sheep!

Upon receiving the news, the villagers exchanged surprised glances for a moment before heading to the breeding farm. Of course, Jin Yong and the other native superhumans did not receive the news.

Soon, dozens of transformed superhumans arrived near the breeding farm. Looking at the chaotic scene, their lips twitched slightly.

How to say it~

The scene of several people being chased and bumped by a flock of sheep is quite funny!

"Don't just stand by and watch, come and help!"

One of the villagers who was thrown into the air crashed to the ground, the heavy power armor shattering the stone slabs and sending debris flying everywhere.

"Go together!"

"If you can gang up on someone, don't fight one-on-one!"

"You hold its neck, and I'll hold its waist!"

A group of transformed humans rushed towards the transformed beasts, and in the blink of an eye, they were locked in combat.

The two teams, evenly matched in terms of combat strength, fought a fierce and evenly contested battle.

However, the key issue is that there are more transformed aliens than transformed beasts, which means that the combat power of the transformed aliens is worrying. Although the transformed aliens cannot kill, they are hesitant to fight.

The chaos didn't last long; a dozen sheep were subdued by dozens of people and locked inside the farm.

An hour later, Fang Rui learned of this and sighed with emotion. He then decided to find the farm manager as soon as possible.

………………

The next day, Fang Rui, having obtained the number of simulation attempts, began the simulation again.

There's no need to go into detail about the simulation, but the desired reward was successfully obtained—the technology for mass-producing Qi-generating plants.

After all, with his current strength, even if the secret of the Body Cultivation Furnace were leaked, he could still escape with Ma Xianhong and the others, giving him ample time to conduct research.

After acquiring the new technology, Fang Rui carefully reviewed the relevant information.

"...The method of circulating Qi is really simple! It has no resemblance whatsoever to the methods of cultivating Qi used by humans or animals."

"...Hmm~ Vegetables that have absorbed Qi will taste better? Have higher nutritional value? Herbs that have absorbed Qi will be more potent... Uh, but also more toxic! This is bad."

"...to transform ordinary plants into Qi-generating plants, preferably seeds..."

"...Regarding the blueprints for the modified Body-Cultivating Furnace..."

"...It involves many aspects, it seems I need to study it for a while."

With that in mind, Fang Rui edited a message and sent it to Ma Xianhong. After all, he was the village chief, and it would be better to let him know if he wanted to leave the village.

The time to meet Shen Chong was approaching, and it was time for him to set off for Z City.

"Bring more defensive magical artifacts."

Knowing he would be ambushed, Fang Rui said this, carrying magical artifacts primarily for control, restraint, and defense.

The journey to Z city was by car, driven by villager Guo Liang, with no other passengers.

Two days later, Fang Rui arrived in Z City.

Shen Chong sent the meeting time and place to Fang Rui via text message.

"Nine o'clock tonight, in the suburbs of Z city... It's three o'clock in the afternoon now, no rush."

Fang Rui turned to look out the car window. The traffic was moving slowly, pedestrians were hurrying along the sidewalk, and there were all sorts of shops...

"So what should I do to pass the time?"

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Rui still couldn't figure it out, so he decided to go to an internet cafe to play some games.

A dozen minutes later, Guo Liang parked his car near an internet cafe and went inside with Fang Rui.

It's not an illegal internet cafe, but a legitimate one.

The environment was alright, and there wasn't a particularly strong smell in the air, but it was a bit noisy.

Fang Rui chose a spot next to a wall near the street, opposite Guo Liang.

Meanwhile, in the suburbs of Z city.

On the road between the two mountains, Shen Chong looked around and saw a bunch of famous figures in the martial arts world, including the Four Madmen of Quanxing, the Corpse Demon, the weapon refiner Yuan Tao, the weapon refiner Han Dan'er, and a large number of cannon fodder.

"The opportune moment to strike is after he enters the valley. Do not hold back at all; go all out and try to finish him off before he can react."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tao laughed in a hoarse voice.

"Shen Chong, it seems that person has really offended you."

"No, just in case." Shen Chong pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and said, "Yuan Tao, you know best how troublesome weapon refiners are."

“Ah~ I know very well,” Yuan Tao said with a smile.

A weapon refiner's strength is directly related to the number of magical artifacts he controls. The more magical artifacts a refiner has, the stronger he is. If those magical artifacts complement each other, then his strength will be even greater!

"So... everyone, don't hold back!" Shen Chong said again.

It's best not to give that person even a chance to speak.

Shen Chong silently added in his mind.

"Don't worry! Since I promised you, I will do my best."

Xia He covered her mouth with her hand, chuckled softly, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes, showing some interest in that person.

"Corpse Demon" Tu Junfang nodded slightly: "Don't worry."

"Hehe~" Yuan Tao played with the magic weapon, while Han Dan'er stared blankly.

The sparse assurances that reached Shen Chong's ears sounded rather perfunctory.

'I suddenly feel a little regretful~'

Shen Chong's lips twitched slightly, and he sighed softly.

Chapter 56 The Mountain Forest at Night

At night, a crescent moon hangs high in the night sky, half of it obscured by thick clouds, making it resemble fangs and appear somewhat fierce.

The mountain road is flanked by gently sloping hillsides, lined with lush, leafy trees. Under the cover of night, the dense, lush forest is silent and secluded, with the rustling of leaves echoing throughout, as if something is hidden within the woods...

About 500 meters from the valley, on a section of road, an ordinary SUV quickly slowed down and stopped at the edge of the road.

"We're very close now~"

Fang Rui looked at the information displayed on his phone map. The straight-line distance to the destination was 496 meters. The destination was sandwiched between two mountains, which could be considered suitable for an ambush, or unsuitable.

Putting away his phone, Fang Rui pushed open the car door, bent down, and walked out. He stood next to the car, holding the door with one hand, looking at the mountain on the left, then at the mountain on the right, his gaze finally stretching into the distance between the two mountains.

"Based on the situation, I suspect that the helpers Shen Chong summoned are hiding in the forests on either side. If that's the case..."

As he spoke, Fang Rui took out two Devouring Pouches from his waist pouch and released ten mass-produced semi-automatic combat mechanical puppets. The puppets all carried the same special abilities: Ghost Shadow Movement to conceal their form, Sword Qi with extremely strong destructive power, and Earth Immortal, which combined stealth and evasion.

"Go and eliminate all the people hiding in the mountains and forests."

Although he didn't need to speak while operating the mechanical puppet, he thought reciting lines was cooler.

Following Fang Rui's orders, the ten mechanical puppets sprang into action, splitting into two groups and running towards both sides of the road. Like divers, they leaped up and plunged into the water with a series of "thump-thump-thump" sounds, just like fish entering the water. The mechanical puppets disappeared into the ground one after another.

Fang Rui withdrew his gaze from the distant mountains and forests, put the Devouring Pouch in his hand into the left pocket of his coat, then took out another Devouring Pouch from his waist pouch, and took out the magical flying insect and the matching magical artifact, the One-Eyed Mirror.

Dozens of magical flying insects flew towards the forest at a speed faster than mechanical puppets. Fang Rui put on his monocular glasses, and dozens of images densely filled his field of vision.

"I'm a little dizzy..."

Fang Rui closed his eyes for a while, then slowly opened them to look at the scene transmitted by the magical flying insect.

"The screen is a bit small, making it a little difficult to see. Perhaps I should make a larger monitor. What should I reference for its shape? ...A laptop? A television?"

As he muttered to himself, the magical flying insects had already flown into the mountains and forests, scattering to search for the people hiding in the mountains.

Although the light in the forest was dim, the images transmitted by the flying insects were still relatively clear; there was no situation where it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Some people who were too lazy to hide and stood openly in the mountains and forests also came into Fang Rui's view. They were all strangers, none of them were familiar.

Meanwhile, in several scenes, a pitch-black mechanical doll covered in crimson stripes emerges from the ground, like a wild beast locking onto its prey, fierce and decisive, showing no mercy.

Of the ten superhumans who were ambushed, six were seriously injured, while the remaining four managed to escape. Their roars, filled with fear, panic, and anger, echoed through the mountains and forests, alerting the other superhumans to the presence of attackers. They immediately became more vigilant, looking around and observing their surroundings.

The semi-automatic combat automaton relies on its keen perception of Qi to fight. It will continuously attack any Qi-containing creatures within its perception range. However, under Fang Rui's interference, the automaton's movements are not so rigid, and can even be described as very flexible.

The mechanical puppet, having succeeded in its attack, did not linger. Ignoring the severely injured members of the Quanxing sect, it immediately retreated into the woods with rhythmic steps, disappearing as if shrouded in darkness.

In other locations in the mountains and forests, many Quanxing members who heard the roar were vigilantly observing their surroundings, their tense bodies ready to launch an attack at any moment.

呲——

However, most people's vigilance was useless. The mechanical puppets, using their ghostly abilities to erase their presence, could silently reach the vicinity of most people, and then launch a sudden attack. Many people could not dodge it and were seriously injured.

However, not everyone failed to stop them. Xia He and others with stronger abilities successfully dodged or blocked the mechanical puppets' sneak attacks.

"Wow~" Yuan Tao's face showed a look of great interest. He looked the mechanical puppet over with a scrutinizing gaze, examined it from head to toe, and exclaimed with a slightly sinister tone, "What a masterpiece! What a fine piece! This is the first time I've seen such good craftsmanship. The level is really high!"

"Hehehe... Shen Chong has really messed with someone this time."

As he spoke, Yuan Tao activated his magic weapon "Nine Dragons," and the ordinary beads shot towards the slowly retreating mechanical puppet like cannonballs.

A snow-white blade sprang from the wrist, and as the mechanical puppet's right arm swung rapidly, a crescent-shaped arc appeared in the dark forest.

clang--

The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed through the quiet mountain forest; the sword blade was chipped, and the magical bead was knocked away.

Han Dan'er, who was acting with Yuan Tao, seized the opportunity when the two made their move. Holding a heavy iron hammer, he quickly ran to the mechanical puppet and smashed it down on the puppet's chin from bottom to top.

The swinging hammer created a heavy whistling sound, sending the mechanical puppet, unable to dodge in time, flying into the air. Its jaw shattered, and the broken pieces scattered in all directions.

Knowing what the mechanical puppet was, Yuan Tao seized the opportunity to launch a follow-up attack. She left one bead for protection, while the rest of the beads flew out and pierced the mechanical puppet more than ten times until it shattered completely.

"Hey, you idiot, pick up these pieces."

Yuan Tao extended his left hand, his five fingers loosely clenched, and the magic weapon, Nine Dragon Son, floated above his left hand, slowly rotating.
