Chapter 464: Stone Puppet

When Wang Tao came back from the research institute, Li Qiuyu had already woken up. Ding Yuqin and the others were all gathered together, chattering about something.

The hidden attribute Li Qiuyu obtained before was [Land Affinity], which is similar to perception ability. This ability is not bad, especially in such ice and snow conditions, it is much easier to use than Wang Tao's previous [Plant Affinity].

Wang Tao is also looking forward to what Li Qiuyu's awakening will be like.

"Wang Tao! I'm awake!"

Seeing Wang Tao coming back, Li Qiuyu trotted up to Wang Tao with some excitement.

Wang Tao smiled and looked at Li Qiuyu's attributes.

[HP: 20000/20000]

[Blue amount: 32000/32000]

[Level: Level 4]

[Impurities in the body: 2%]

[Awakening: Solid Stone Puppet]

[Solid Puppet: Use the earth element to condense into a puppet]

"Eh?" Seeing Li Qiuyu's awakening, Wang Tao was immediately surprised. "Have you ever used awakening?"

"Not yet, I'll wait for you to come back before using it, because I feel like I can only use it once in a short period of time..."

Li Qiuyu said a little embarrassed.

"It can only be used once, which means it consumes 100 awakening energy... You can use it once and let me see."

Wang Tao is still looking forward to her awakening. This is the first time he has seen an awakening that can summon thugs.

"good!"

Li Qiuyu responded, and then she came to the yard and waved to the snow.

Everyone clearly saw that the snow on the ground began to shake, and a huge, gray... stone lump slowly straightened up!

"Wow!"

Many people saw this situation for the first time and subconsciously exclaimed.

Looking at this three-meter-high humanoid creature made of gray stone, Wang Tao was a little amazed.

[HP: 100000/100000]

[Level: Level 4]

This stone puppet has a health bar, with a total of 100,000 health. This blood volume is not much, it is only the threshold of the fourth level. Everyone in Wang Tao's team has higher health volume than this. And it doesn't have a blue bar, which means it shouldn't have any powers.

It has a level, but it only shows level four, and does not show "ordinary, elite, lord" or anything like that, which means that its level should be about the same as that of humans, or to be precise, it should be about the same as Li Qiuyu who summoned it...

Just looking at these attributes, Wang Tao feels that this stone puppet seems to be very ordinary.

But you can't just take everything at face value, because this stone puppet still feels very solid to Wang Tao.

"I can control it with my mind..."

Li Qiuyu didn't see any movement, but the big stone puppet started walking around the yard, cleaning up the snow, and even dancing.

Everyone gathered around curiously, touching this and that.

Wang Tao stretched out his hand and touched it. It was hard, rough, and cold... It was indeed the texture of stone.

This stone puppet had no intention of resisting anyone's caressing. Even if Li Qiuyu let it move freely, it did not show any emotion.

Wang Tao feels that it is somewhat similar to a "biological weapon". It may have consciousness, but its consciousness is very weak. It can barely be regarded as... a stone life?

Wang Tao suddenly thought that Qu Shilin had returned a little too early. If she was allowed to see this stone puppet, she might not be happy for a long time.

"Try its fighting power."

Wang Tao couldn't research anything for the time being, so he could only look at its combat effectiveness.

Summoning a thing like this is definitely not for cleaning. Fighting is its job.

And the combat test is also very simple, just find someone to practice with this stone puppet.

"I'm OK!"

Li Qiuyu spoke with a slightly tired face.

She had a total of 100 awakening energy, which was all consumed at once, and she felt somewhat tired.

Wang Tao immediately took some awakening crystal cores for her to use. As her awakening energy increased, her face gradually became rosy.

"I'll do it! I'll fight this stone puppet!"

Xiang Hongbin stood up eagerly.

Wang Tao and his group stepped aside to make room for Xiang Hongbin and the stone puppet. After confirming that both Li Qiuyu and Xiang Hongbin were fine, Wang Tao nodded and said:

"let's start."

This was just a discussion, not a life and death fight, so Xiang Hongbin didn't rush forward immediately. He let the stone puppet attack first.

Li Qiuyu told everyone that the stone puppet can attack freely after receiving orders, or Li Qiuyu can control the attack throughout the process.

Although Li Qiuyu is no longer her former self, her combat effectiveness and combat experience are definitely not comparable to Xiang Hongbin, so Li Qiuyu is not prepared to control it by herself, but lets the stone puppet play freely.

There was a faint yellow light in the stone puppet's small eyes, and then it strode towards Xiang Hongbin.

Boom, boom...

Xiang Hongbin didn't think this stone puppet was very strong at first, but he just thought it might be rough-skinned and fleshy. But when the stone puppet strode towards him, Xiang Hongbin suddenly felt a slight pressure.

This made Xiang Hongbin's eyes suddenly light up. The stone puppet in combat mode is different from before, and this is exactly what he wants!

call--

The stone puppet raised his arm and punched Xiang Hongbin.

This punch was simple and unpretentious, and with Xiang Hongbin's speed, he could completely dodge it. But in order to test the puppet's strength, Xiang Hongbin chose to resist.

Xiang Hongbin's mechanical arm collided with the stone arm of the stone puppet.

Bang——

Puff!

Everyone clearly saw that Xiang Hongbin was directly hit by the huge fist of the stone puppet and was a little shorter!

Looking carefully, it was discovered that Xiang Hongbin's calf was inserted into the ground!

"Good guy!"

Xiang Hongbin's eyes were full of disbelief.

For now, Wang Tao can't compare with him in terms of strength. After all, he is not only a system awakener, but also has a half-human and half-mechanical body. The increase brought by the addition of these two makes him invincible in terms of strength.

He didn't hold back in that punch just now. Although it was not a full-strength punch, it was also his normal performance.

But he was hit to the ground by the stone puppet...

"Old Xiang, you won't be knocked unconscious, right?"

Seeing Xiang Hongbin's defeat, Wei Zhenguo immediately laughed and joked.

"...I'm going to be serious!"

The light of the crystal core on Xiang Hongbin's chest became much hotter. He jumped up suddenly and punched the stone puppet in the abdomen.

Facing Xiang Hongbin's attack, the stone puppet did not dodge at all. He slapped Xiang Hongbin who jumped up again.

If Xiang Hongbin did not stop, he would be hit by the stone puppet when he attacked the stone puppet.

Xiang Hongbin's fighting style was originally rough. Now it was a sparring match. With Lan Yulian around, it was impossible for him to be in danger of his life, so Xiang Hongbin did not dodge and fought hard again.

Bang——

Its punch hit the stone puppet's abdomen firmly. The power of this punch was very strong, and the huge body of the stone puppet immediately took a step back. But the stone puppet's slap also hit Xiang Hongbin.

Puff——

Xiang Hongbin was directly knocked away and fell into the snow.

"..."

Everyone was confused.

This stone puppet is too strong! Xiang Hongbin, who is so strong in combat, can't beat it?

"Come on, continue!"

Xiang Hongbin climbed up from the snow and instantly fought with the stone puppet again.

Watching Xiang Hongbin's fight, Wang Tao shook his head speechlessly.

"What a reckless man!"

Through Xiang Hongbin's fight with the stone puppet, Wang Tao already knew the stone puppet's combat power.

Simply put, this stone puppet is probably at the level of a fourth-order lord, with great strength and high defense, but very slow speed and poor flexibility.

Xiang Hongbin can definitely beat the stone puppet, after all, the stone puppet's weaknesses are obvious.

But Xiang Hongbin didn't believe in evil, and he just went head-to-head with the stone puppet where it was good at...

So the two sides fought back and forth, and the stone puppet might even have some advantages!

If Xiang Hongbin didn't fight hard, but chose to use his own advantages, such as speed, then he would have no problem trying to beat the stone puppet...

Of course, this is not entirely because Xiang Hongbin is too reckless, but mainly because it is a competition now, and there is no life-and-death crisis. In this case, Xiang Hongbin naturally fights more unrestrainedly. Another thing is that he is a half-human, half-machine system awakener! If you lose to the stone puppet in terms of strength, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Bang!

Bang!

...

After a long time, Xiang Hongbin sat on the ground panting.

"No more fighting!"

Across from him was a smaller stone puppet with many broken stones under its feet.

After watching the two people fight to the end, everyone felt a little unsatisfied. After all, this kind of fight with no technical content and fists to the flesh still looks very cool.

Then everyone subconsciously looked at the stone puppet, muttering "really strong" in their hearts.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Wang Tao walked over with a smile.

After this test, he basically figured out the combat power and combat methods of this stone puppet.

The stone puppet is good at strength and defense. Although it only has 100,000 blood, it just stood there without resistance and let Xiang Hongbin hit it with his fists. Xiang Hongbin had to fight for a while.

But its speed is relatively slow. All the fourth-level awakeners present are faster than the stone puppet.

So normally, to attack the stone puppet, you have to take advantage of the speed. In theory, you can kill it without any injury. After all, it has no long-range attack ability and is not fast, so it can be kited...

That is, Xiang Hongbin is stubborn and has to fight the stone puppet head-on in terms of strength, otherwise he would have taken down the stone puppet long ago.

So, this is a high-attack, high-defense, low-speed combat force. If facing humans of the same level, it should be unbeatable. After all, humans are smarter and know how to adapt.

But if it is facing zombies, it may be different!

Zombies are also smart, but most of them are stupid. Facing this stone puppet, the zombies will probably be as stubborn as Xiang Hongbin. But Xiang Hongbin is good enough to break the stone puppet's defense, but Xiang zombies may not be able to do it!

Wang Tao has already thought of the use of this stone puppet-as a meat shield for them! Or throw it into the zombie group to kill!

It's a pity that Li Qiuyu's combat experience is not rich enough, so he lets the stone puppet attack freely. If Wang Tao were to control it, the combat power would probably increase by at least 30%!

Others obviously understood the usefulness of this stone puppet, and they all praised it sincerely.

"This puppet is great! If we have this thing in the future, we can help us attract zombies. Anyway, our bodies are made of stone, so we don't have to worry about being infected by the zombie virus! I guess even zombies can't bite us!"

"Yes, this is simply a natural meat shield character!"

"But this puppet is a little too big, it's not easy to ride in a car..."

"..."

Wang Tao asked Lan Yulian to add blood to the puppet and Xiang Hongbin. Both of them had half of their blood left.

Xiang Hongbin's blood was quickly filled up, but the stone's blood bar did not move, and Lan Yulian's blood addition had no effect on it...

This made Wang Tao frown.

He looked at Li Qiuyu.

"This puppet can't be treated?"

"Ah? I don't know... It seems so, treatment is really useless to it. It seems to be... disposable!"

"Disposable?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and suddenly their eyes lit up.

Disposable is good!

If it is permanent, then in the future battles, you have to consider the life and death of the stone puppet, and it may not be convenient to take it out.

But if it is disposable, it means that Li Qiuyu can continue to summon it! Even if it really dies, it doesn't hurt. If there are any dangerous tasks in the future, you can let the stone puppet do it!

"But I seem to be able to take it back..."

Li Qiuyu scratched his head again.

"Take it back? Let me see if you can."

Wang Tao said immediately.

"Okay!"

Li Qiuyu waved at the stone puppet, and then saw the stone puppet collapse instantly, turning into a pile of dust and disappearing.

"I feel like I seem to have recovered some of the awakening energy..."

Li Qiuyu closed his eyes and felt it carefully.

"Can you continue to summon the stone puppet?"

"It seems that I can..."

Li Qiuyu waved his hand, and the stone puppet appeared again, and it was full of blood!

"Tsk! It feels a bit strong! As long as the awakening energy is enough, can't it be summoned all the time..."

Wang Tao touched his chin, and then carefully studied it with Li Qiuyu.

Wait until dawn, Wang Tao finally figured out what the awakening of this [Stone Puppet] is.

To put it simply, Li Qiuyu can use 100 awakening energy to summon a 100,000 blood level 4 puppet, but can only summon one. Unless the puppet dies or is taken back by her, she cannot summon it again.

If she takes it back, Li Qiuyu will be refunded half of her awakening energy. This half is related to the health of the puppet. For example, if the puppet has 100,000 health and is taken back, Li Qiuyu will be refunded 50 awakening energy. If the puppet has only 50,000 health, then Li Qiuyu can only return 25 awakening energy.

This awakening sounds good, but it also has certain limitations. That is, within an hour, Li Qiuyu can only summon one, and the time starts from the time it is summoned.

In other words, if the puppet dies after being summoned, she can only summon it again after an hour; if the puppet dies half an hour after being summoned, she can only summon it again after half an hour. Even if she takes it back actively, there is an hour of cooling time...
