Chapter 119 Puppet

"not yet."

Zhang Ruanruan's voice sounded weak and listless, and Jiang Feng could clearly tell that she was forcing herself to stay awake. "Don't talk to me yet, hurry up and take it to try it out."

"Okay."

The latter knew that any further unwarranted concern from him might disrupt the other person's rhythm, so he stopped talking, quickly stepped forward, carefully took the drop of blood, and then put it into the device at the bottom of the stairs.

Then the next moment—

"Boom!"

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Feng's expression became somewhat complicated.

I didn't expect that to determine whether the stone door was open, you didn't need to walk around like an idiot; you could just listen to the sound.

But..

"Why is it that yours will succeed?"

He subconsciously glanced back at Zhang Ruanruan behind him, his expression a mixture of confusion and bewilderment.

He thought that bloodletting was a dead end, but to his surprise, it actually worked.

This proves that the device didn't want its own blood, but instead wanted a soft piece of blood.

On what grounds?

You must understand that although what the other party gave was essence blood, his own blood was divine blood!

Jiang Feng could only think of two possibilities.

Firstly, the other party still possesses the power of Ktugya in their blood, thus their rank is higher than one's own.

But he felt that this reason was not quite right. After all, if that were the case, how much effort would it have taken to get to the third floor in the past?

In comparison, he felt the second possibility was more reasonable—

That's right, it's the blood of the Darkborn gods, and it has been rejected once again.

Just like that time at the ruins of King Wu.

After silently cursing the Darkin race for what terrible crime they had committed to be ostracized by so many people, he walked up the last step with a clear conscience.

As soon as he got to the third floor, he began to observe.

The structure of the third floor is completely different from that of the second floor. It is shaped like a long corridor, with arched stone doors several meters high on both sides. A faint light shines through the cracks in each stone door. Some of the stone doors can be seen to be open, while others are closed.

At the end of the corridor stood a gate several times larger than the others.

The Super Stone Gate!

"6

""

He knew without even guessing that the room containing the star map was behind that stone door.

He counted them and found that, apart from the large stone gate, there were three stone gates on the left and four on the right sides of the corridor. It seemed that the person who designed this place did not have a sense of symmetry.

He walked around the corridor and first found that the three doors on the left were locked with runes. No matter what he tried, he couldn't open them. So he turned to look at the four stone doors on the right.

The doors there were all ajar.

Can open.

Jiang Feng gripped the Darkin Scythe tightly, strode towards the first open door, and stepped inside.

"Will""

A flash of sword light rushed towards them.

Jiang Feng's hair stood on end. He instinctively dodged to the side. The sword light, carrying an extremely strong wind, swept past his ear and "hummed" as it struck the stone wall behind him, then mysteriously disappeared.

He landed, turned around, and saw what was in front of him clearly.

It turned out to be a mechanical puppet.

This puppet is made entirely of dull silver-gray metal, and is the same height as a human. There are obvious gears meshing where the limbs connect to the body. There is also a core component with light spots embedded in its chest that is rotating at a constant speed.

Just as Jiang Feng had encountered before, it held a simple and unadorned longsword in its hand. The sword had no patterns on its blade, but it was forged from pure light, and there were even faint fluctuations of real blood energy emanating from its body.

Jiang Feng's mind raced, and he roughly judged the strength of the sword strike and the resulting energy fluctuations.

Sitting in the realm of enlightenment, in its initial stage.

However, it seems that it cannot use the mental attack methods of the Sitting Illumination Realm, which are limited to physical strength.

"That makes things easier."

He held the sickle upright, steadily hoisted it onto his shoulder, and then looked at the size of the room.

Yes, it's perfect for close-quarters combat.

He smiled.

"This is my first attempt at fighting across two major realms. I hope you won't disappoint me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from the spot.

"Wipe, rub, rub!"

Several afterimages appeared one after another in the corridor and room, only to vanish in an instant.

The puppet reacted very quickly.

Upon seeing Jiang Feng charging towards it, it immediately changed its sword stance, switching from thrusting to slashing. The sword's edge drew a diagonal arc that cut through the air, accurately predicting the latter's landing position using the Flowing Light Step.

For an ordinary human at the early stage of the Sitting Illumination Realm, this sword strike was a rather tricky choice in terms of both speed and angle.

But Jiang Feng did not dodge.

He merely shifted his body forward slightly by half an inch, adjusting his position. The sword that would have landed on his neck instead struck his chest squarely.

.

With a clang!

The mechanical puppet didn't wonder why its sword strike was blocked by something unseen. As a puppet, it had no need for such useless emotions.

It simply swung its arm again and then swung its sword.

But Jiang Feng wouldn't give it a second chance to attack.

Almost simultaneously, his fist slammed into the core component of the mechanical puppet's chest.

"boom!"

A deep, metallic sound exploded in the space.

The puppet staggered back two steps, and the rotation speed of its core component in its chest visibly slowed down by one revolution.

Jiang Feng glanced down at it briefly, then frowned.

The Overlord Blood Armor was actually pierced by that sword and left a deep mark. Although it had infinite durability and could regenerate on its own, he still felt a little heartache.

More importantly, if he had used his body to take that blow, he would probably have been pierced through the chest by that sword light, his bones shattered and his tendons broken.

"It's even more impressive than I imagined."

Jiang Feng flexed his knuckles, smoothing out the remaining flames.

Then, he held up two fingers.

"Snap!"

He snapped his fingers.

"Giggle...giggle...sizzle...bang!"

Suddenly, the mechanical puppet seemed to lose power. First, its movements became extremely stiff, and then its silver-gray shell began to turn red from the inside out.

Even from a distance, Jiang Feng could still feel the extreme heat emanating from the metal as it burned under the flames.

The punch he landed on the opponent's core was no ordinary punch; it was a "Flame Collapse Fist" enhanced by the Divine Dragon Flame Set.

The instant the Flame Collapse Fist made contact with the mechanical puppet's core, fifteen fire dragons surged through its gear mesh, detonating in a chain reaction inside and blasting all the metal parts into scrap metal.

Next, inside the body—

Defeat 1 mechanical golems.

[Trigger additional fixed bonus]

[Base Strength permanently increased by 15%!]

[Base health permanently increased by 15!]

"You can add this too?" Jiang Feng was impressed. "System, you're really my dad."

After dealing with the mechanical puppet, he began searching the room.
