Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Instead of rushing to find others, he instructed his apprentice to collect fragments of the mechanical puppet, which was quite special and worth studying.

Meanwhile, in another part of the mountains and forests.

Xia He leaned against the tree trunk, watching with great interest as several strange people ganged up on the mechanical puppet.

The mechanical puppet, which was of decent strength, was torn to pieces under the relentless attack of a group of supernatural beings who disregarded the consequences of their own actions.

"Xia He, the doll that scared you has been taken down by me~" A strange person ran up to Xia He and said with a fawning expression.

"Get out! I was the one who tore it down!" Another superhuman angrily kicked the man away.

"It's me!" "It's me!" "It's me!"...

One second the supernatural beings were cooperating sincerely, and the next second they were fighting each other fiercely.

“…It’s boring.”

Xia He's gaze fell on the fragments of the mechanical puppet; the person Shen Chong was about to deal with was a weapon refiner...

Chapter 57 Head-to-head confrontation

Now, mechanical puppets have sneaked in to launch a surprise attack...

Xia He did not believe it was a coincidence, but rather a measure taken by the weapon refiner who had guessed Shen Chong's thoughts.

"...It feels like a troublesome thing."

Following her woman's intuition, Xia He came to the above conclusion. She lightly touched her pink lips with her fingertips, glancing at the group of fighting men out of the corner of her eye.

Our own fighting strength is worrying, so let's not get involved for now and just be spectators for a while.

With this in mind, Xia He stepped forward. Whatever the weapon refiner's plan was, Shen Chong was a target that needed to be dealt with.

By staying by Shen Chong's side, there's a chance to meet the unfamiliar weapon refiner who hasn't appeared yet... The probability is fifty percent, since the probability of that weapon refiner personally taking action is fifty percent.

at the same time……

Gao Ning and Dou Mei worked together to dismantle one of the mechanical puppets. Fearing that there were more mechanical puppets in the woods and that he would be surrounded and attacked by them if he were alone, the outcome would be predictable. So, he and Dou Mei went to find others and decided to team up.

However, all the people they encountered along the way were cannon fodder who had been ambushed and injured by the mechanical puppets; Xia He, Yuan Tao, and the others were nowhere to be seen.

It's impossible that those guys were ambushed and killed by the mechanical puppets. As for being surrounded by them... the commotion would have been considerable. Since there were no major disturbances in the mountains and forests, that possibility can also be ruled out.

So……

Gao Ning seemed to be deep in thought, then led a group of wounded men down the mountain.

It's not out of friendship or mutual assistance, but rather to find a few cannon fodder.

On the road through the valley, Shen Chong listened to the sounds coming from both sides, his expression darkening as he knew his plan had failed.

rustling...

The sound of rustling leaves came from the left. Shen Chong looked in the direction of the sound and saw Tu Junfang, with a serious expression, walking out of the dark woods, easily vaulting over the road railing, and coming to Shen Chong's side.

"What are we going to do now?"

"That goes without saying. Now that we've started, there's no reason to stop, and besides..."

Even if I stop, they won't let me off easily, so I might as well fight to the end.

What if we win?

"Is that so..." Tu Junfang considered it for a while and finally decided to help. As a hero who dared to challenge the Celestial Master, he was naturally not afraid of a weapon refiner.

"Hehehe..." A hoarse laugh came from the forest, and Yuan Tao and Han Dan'er, who was carrying a cloth bag, came out and came into Shen Chong's view.

"I can help too."

Yuan Tao, who was very interested in the weapon refiner, said this, while Han Dan'er stood obediently to the side.

"I won't get involved."

A woman's voice came from the woods. Although she did not show herself, Shen Chong and the others knew who was speaking.

A while later, Gao Ning, Dou Mei, and many other accomplices expressed their willingness to help.

The cannon fodder really want to leave, but given the current situation, they can't just leave whenever they want; it depends on whether the other side is willing to let them go.

So, are they willing to let me go?

The cannon fodder asked themselves this question in their hearts. Although they wanted to answer "yes," the reality was... they didn't know.

Those who dared not gamble decided to gather all their strength and charge out together.

As for helping Shen Chong defeat his enemies?

Anyone who wants to go can go, I'm not going!

Those who thought this way echoed Gao Ning's words, agreeing with what he said.

Feeling the atmosphere of "united as one," Shen Chong's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say much. The role of cannon fodder is to cause interference. Whether they rush in or scatter and flee, it is all interference.

The more troublesome problem is that Xia He, who can play both support and mage, suddenly left the team, resulting in the team lacking a strong support and mage, causing problems with the team composition.

But it's not a big problem...

Shen Chong turned his gaze to Tu Junfang and the others. "I have invited enough people. Although there will be some problems if one person is missing, it will not lead to a complete collapse."

"Alright... everyone, let's go!"

Considering that many of the cannon fodder were seriously injured, and that continuing to drag things out would reduce their combat effectiveness, Shen Chong waved his hand and led a group of people out of the valley.

At the same time, somewhere in the dark mountain forest.

Xia He stood beside a tree, her arms crossed, her gaze fixed on a spot on the trunk where a silver-white mechanical flying insect was.

"...They're acting so aggressively~ What are you going to do?"

The mechanical flying insect made a sound: "(⊙o⊙) Wow~ There are quite a few people, one, two, three... there are twenty or thirty people. Shen Chong is quite capable! He was able to find so many people."

"Oh dear... thank goodness you didn't come along, otherwise I really wouldn't have had a chance to win."

The slightly frivolous voice reached Xia He's ears, causing her to let out a scoffing "heh".

Do you think I'd believe what you're saying?

"Of course you'll believe me. If you hadn't believed what I said before, why would you be chatting with me now?"

"Tch~" Xia He curled her lip without any ladylike demeanor and threatened in a harsh voice, "I hope you're not lying to me, otherwise I'll definitely throw a bunch of animals in heat around you and let you know how terrifying animals can be."

"What do you mean by animals being scary? It's clearly women who are terrifying."

The mechanical flying insect clearly spoke in a low voice.

Xia He smiled, but there was a hint of murderous intent hidden in that smile.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, Shen Chong will be here soon, we'll talk later."

After saying that, the mechanical flying insect fell silent and did not make any further noise.

Xia He closed her eyes slightly, stood there for a while, and then headed in the direction where Shen Chong and the others had left.

Meanwhile, on a road more than 400 meters from the valley, Fang Rui, standing next to a car, took off his monocular glasses, and the Black Armor covered his entire body under his activation.

A small black man dressed in clothes with red stripes on his face appeared next to the car.

Fang Rui wasn't entirely at ease with the lack of protection for his eyes and nose, so he took out a mask with flame patterns on his forehead and put it on, while his eyes were protected by crimson crystals.

"Then... let's begin! Testing the new magical artifact..."

As he spoke, Fang Rui sped along the road, his dark afterimages interspersed with crimson light streams, charging straight into the square formation composed of Quanxing members.

bang bang bang...

Like bowling, a bunch of people were knocked into the air. Shen Chong, Tu Junfang and others reacted quickly and dodged to the sides before Fang Rui could hit them, so they were not knocked away like cannon fodder.

One by one, people fell from the sky, crashing onto the concrete road and wailing. And standing in the middle of that group of people was a small black man with bloodshot eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is a wonderful surprise!"

Looking at the little black man, Yuan Tao's lips curled into a sinister smile.

Tu Junfang didn't speak, but directly summoned the three black, sludge-like "corpses" to attack the little black man.

Gao Ning and Dou Mei worked together seamlessly, each showcasing their unique skills...

Chapter 58 Defeat All Enemies

—Gao Ning’s signature skill is the Twelve Emotional Array, which can affect the twelve meridians of the person inside the array. Each meridian corresponds to two emotions, positive and negative, and the person can switch between these two emotions repeatedly to weaken the opponent.

Dou Mei's signature skill is releasing pollen-like substances that weaken people.

Both of their techniques are non-direct combat methods, but they are very useful in battle.

Weakening the enemy is, in other words, strengthening oneself.

A person with a strong will and high level of cultivation can resist the negative effects of the two types of supernatural arts, but they will still be affected.

With Fang Rui's current strength, he can indeed be described as having "profound cultivation," but his mental strength is rather ordinary. When attacked by two different techniques targeting emotions, he can hardly hold out for long.

and so……

First, deal with the mages and support characters.

Thinking this, Fang Rui suddenly vanished from his spot, and a black and red figure instantly arrived in front of Gao Ning, throwing a powerful punch...

Dou Mei's special abilities allow him to temporarily defend himself with the mask, but Gao Ning poses a greater threat.

When his vision was filled with black and red, Gao Ning instinctively tried to dodge, but before he could act, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen, as if he had been hit by a speeding bull. He felt a churning in his stomach, vomited, and was thrown backward in a C-shape.

呲——

Fang Rui moved at high speed again, chasing after Gao Ning and seizing the opportunity to launch a follow-up attack. Every punch was so powerful that it caused intense pain that made Gao Ning lose consciousness for a short time, leaving him with no power to resist.

In just a few seconds, Gao Ning was bounced away by Fang Rui like a volleyball.

However, before Fang Rui could throw a few more punches, he noticed two dark shadows appearing in his field of vision. They looked like they were made of mud and were approaching him at an extremely fast speed.

The second of Tu Junfang's "Three Corpses"...

After quickly observing both sides, Fang Rui took appropriate measures.
