Chapter 272 Heaven-Level Demon Puppet
In the past week or so, Queen Medusa only woke up once on the third day, asked about Xiao Ling's situation, and then returned to her sleeping state, handing over control of her body to Xiao Tuntian. python. Therefore, during this period of time, Zi Yan almost became the full-time companion of the little sky-swallowing python, eating and using Zi Yan.
Although the elders of the snake people also wanted to take care of the little sky-swallowing python, the little snake didn't seem to be very close to them. Instead, it especially liked to stick to Zi Yan. This made everyone feel a little helpless, but also a little curious. Perhaps this is the so-called mysterious connection between bloodlines. There seems to be some indescribable attraction between noble monsters.
Zi Yan gently stroked the scales of the little sky-swallowing python, and while playing with it, she murmured softly: "When will Xiao Ling finish refining it? Didn't he say it would only take three days before? It's been a week now. Yes, the Snake Tribe has urged me several times.”
The little sky-swallowing python seemed to be able to feel Zi Yan's anxiety. It raised its head and looked at her with its clear eyes, as if to comfort her.
In a corner of the pavilion, the Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin heard Zi Yan's complaints. They looked at each other and smiled, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
"Don't worry, Zi Yan." The little medical fairy comforted softly, "Xiao Ling always does things in an orderly manner. He may have a new plan at the last moment, so he spent more time."
Qinglin also nodded and agreed: "Yes, the young master must have his reasons. Moreover, it is quite leisurely for us to wait here."
Zi Yan pouted, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "Who knows what he is busy with again, really."
At this moment, Yao Tianhuo's figure gradually appeared in the pavilion, his iconic beard trembling slightly with his movements. With a relaxed smile, Yao Tianhuo said to Zi Yan: "Girl Zi Yan, don't worry. I checked the progress of Xiao Ling before, and he should be able to complete the refining soon and meet everyone. "
Zi Yan looked up at Yao Tianhuo, a trace of curiosity flashed in her eyes: "Really? That's great, old man Tianhuo, how do you know?"
Yao Tianhuo stroked his beard gently, with a hint of mystery in his tone: "Oh, I opened a small corner where I was practicing the outdoor peripheral formation and took a sneak peek. The boy was so focused that I couldn't bear to disturb him. But , I think his refining is nearing completion, and he will probably be out soon."
Qing Lin and the Little Fairy Doctor also smiled, expressing their trust in Yao Tianhuo's words.
Qing Lin nodded and said: "With Senior Yao Tianhuo, we can rest assured. Master Xiao Ling has always done things safely and will definitely not keep us waiting for too long."
The little medical fairy also added: "Yes, Senior Yao Tianhuo's judgment is definitely correct. Let's wait patiently. Maybe Xiao Ling will come up with something unexpected when he comes out this time."
The atmosphere in the pavilion became more relaxed and happy because of Yao Tianhuo's words. Zi Yan's mood also improved significantly. She continued to play with the little sky-swallowing python while looking forward to Xiao Ling's return. The sun shines in the courtyard, and everything looks so harmonious and beautiful.
However, not long after the words of several people finished speaking, the formation barrier above the training room suddenly rippled, as if an invisible wind blew by, pushing it away from the center to the surroundings until it completely dissipated.
This sudden change immediately caught the attention of everyone present. They stopped what they were doing in unison and turned their gazes towards the training room where Xiao Ling was.
"It seems that Xiao Ling will be able to complete the refining soon." Yao Tianhuo stroked his beard with a hint of relaxed expectation in his tone. He smiled and added: "In this case, I won't stay here any longer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Tianhuo's figure turned into a white stream of light, and flashed back into his Yunling Najie with lightning speed, with a crisp movement.
Zi Yan's eyes lit up. She stood up excitedly and stared at the door of the training room, as if Xiao Ling would appear in the next second.
The Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin also stood up, with faint smiles on their faces. They were also curious about what Xiao Ling was doing, and it took him nearly a week.
Under everyone's gaze, the door of the training room was slowly opened from the inside out, and a ray of sunlight took the opportunity to get in, illuminating the indoor space and reflecting Xiao Ling's figure at the door.
Xiao Ling stood at the door with a relaxed smile on his face, his eyes flashed with excitement, and his whole person exuded an emotion of joy that was difficult to conceal. He looked refreshed and obviously very satisfied with the refining he had just completed.
"Finally done!" Xiao Ling's voice carried a hint of relief and satisfaction. He walked out of the practice room and stretched out in the sunshine, as if he wanted to release all the fatigue from the week.
Zi Yan stepped forward in three steps, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. She couldn't wait to ask Xiao Ling: "How is the refining going? Is it successful? But, why did it take you so long? Where's the time?" There was anticipation in her tone, but also a hint of ridicule.
The Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin followed closely behind. They focused on Xiao Ling with some curiosity, and they were obviously very interested in his refining results.
"That's natural. It took me so long this time all because of these puppets." Xiao Ling nodded lightly with a satisfied smile. With a flick of his fingers, three puppets of different shapes floated out from the ring and floated quietly in the air. The chilling aura emanating from them made people shudder.
Although the auras of the three puppets are equally powerful, they have their own characteristics upon closer inspection. The two Heavenly Demon puppets on the left have a bronze luster on their surfaces, as if they have been baptized by the years, and are calm and solemn.
The Heavenly Demon Kui on the far right is even more eye-catching. Its color is bright gold, and the details are even more exquisite. Every line is smooth and powerful, showing its extraordinary strength.
Even people who know nothing about puppets can feel the extraordinaryness of the golden puppet on the far right with just one look. It stands there, naturally exuding a sense of high-end, and people can immediately judge that it is definitely outstanding among the three puppets, and both its quality and combat power are far superior to the two next to it.
At this moment, the colorful little snake wrapped around Zi Yan's wrist suddenly became active. It twisted nimbly and slid from Zi Yan's arm to the ground. Immediately afterwards, the little snake's body was surrounded by a burst of purple light.
The light was soft and mysterious, and the outline of a graceful woman could be vaguely seen becoming clearer. As the purple light gradually faded, the figure of Queen Medusa finally appeared. She stood in front of everyone with an elegant posture and extraordinary temperament.
Seeing Queen Medusa appear, Zi Yan's eyes immediately lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise: "Sister Medusa, you are finally awake!" Her voice was full of excitement.
Medusa first gently rubbed Zi Yan's hair, her eyes were soft, and she smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work these days, help me take care of the little guy."
Zi Yan couldn't help laughing when she heard Medusa's thanks. She waved her hand and looked indifferent: "Sister Medusa, this is just a small thing, why thank you, I am also very happy to take care of the little swallowing python."
Her words made Xiao Yixian and Qinglin around her couldn't help laughing. Xiao Yixian joked, "Zi Yan, it seems that you have deep feelings for Xiao Tianmang, and you are reluctant to let go."
Qinglin also echoed, "Yes, Zi Yan, you are almost a professional nanny for Xiao Tianmang."
Zi Yan's cheeks were stained with a faint blush, but she was still a little proud, and said playfully, "Humph, this shows that this lady is charming. Even the snake people want to take Xiao Tianmang away, but it just likes to follow me, and they can't do anything."
There was a bit of joking and pride in her voice, and she was obviously very happy that she could win the closeness of Xiao Tianmang. Xiao Yixian and Qinglin around couldn't help laughing when they heard it. They all knew that Zi Yan's care for Xiao Tianmang was sincere, and Xiao Tianmang's dependence on her in the past few days was also obvious.
But now that Xiao Ling has finally appeared, it is still unknown whether Xiao Tianmang will be more inclined to stick to Xiao Ling or continue to be inseparable from Zi Yan.
Medusa shook her head slightly with a smile, and seemed not to continue the topic. She turned her eyes to Xiao Ling, especially the three puppets beside him, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes: "Are these puppets prepared for the snake people?"
There was a bit of relaxed teasing in her tone, and she had obviously noticed the difference of the golden puppet. The luster and workmanship of the golden puppet made it obvious that it was of extraordinary quality. This was probably the treasure that Xiao Ling had carefully refined for her.
The pair of copper puppets next to them, although they looked plain, should be the puppets of the primary Dou Zong level that Xiao Ling had mentioned before. Leaving them to the snake people was also a fulfillment of Xiao Ling's previous promise to herself and the snake people.
Medusa knew Xiao Ling's way of dealing with things. He was the kind of person who would try his best to do what he promised. However, don't expect him to give in easily on anything. He was not the kind of person who would let himself suffer. In short, Xiao Ling was the kind of person who did what he said, but was also a careful and calculating person.
Xiao Ling smiled helplessly, and said to Medusa in a relaxed tone: "You think too much. These two bronze puppets are indeed what we agreed to leave to the snake people. I tailored them for the needs of the snake people."
He turned his eyes to the golden puppet, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "And this golden guy is my treasure. I spent a lot of effort to refine it, so I naturally want to keep it with me."
As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Ling waved his hand lightly, and the two bronze sky demon puppets seemed to be pulled by an invisible line, slowly floating towards Medusa, and finally landed steadily on the ground in front of her.
"Each of these two sky demon puppets has the strength of a two-star Dou Zong." Xiao Ling explained to Medusa with a hint of ease and confidence in his tone, "If they join forces, even if they are against a three-star Dou Zong opponent, they will definitely be able to cope with it."
After listening to Xiao Ling's introduction, Medusa's eyes flashed with surprise. She was obviously very satisfied with the strength of these two puppets. She smiled and said to Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, thank you this time. With these two puppets, I can feel at ease when I leave the snake people."
Xiao Ling waved his hand and responded easily: "You're welcome, Medusa, this is what we agreed on before. Besides, I have a little secret to tell you." He pretended to be very mysterious and continued, "These two puppets have a special function. They can absorb the power of thunder and lightning to improve their own quality."
Xiao Ling's words made Medusa more interested. She asked curiously: "Really? How to operate it specifically?"
Xiao Ling explained with a smile: "If there is a thunderstorm, you can let the tribe control the puppet to absorb thunder and lightning. Or, if there are practitioners of thunder attributes in the snake tribe, you can also use the power of thunder and lightning to temper the puppet regularly. This will last for a long time. Down, the quality and strength of the puppet may be improved.”
After listening to Xiao Ling's explanation, Medusa's eyes flashed with clarity, and then she nodded and said to Xiao Ling: "Okay, I understand. I will hand these two puppets to the elders of the clan. , and make sure they understand how to use this ability to absorb lightning."
Xiao Ling responded and added in a relaxed tone: "Well, you can arrange the refining of these two puppets. After you finish handling the affairs of the clan, we can prepare to leave the Snake Clan."
"Okay, I understand. Please wait for me for a moment. I'll be back soon." Medusa responded succinctly. She nodded, and then waved her hands gently, and two invisible fighting spirits gently held her up. Those two bronze puppets. She turned around and walked lightly towards the Snake Tribe Elder's Hall.
Her figure moved quickly in the air, leaving behind afterimages, while the two puppets were firmly controlled by her, floating quietly behind her. Their figures shone faintly under the sunlight, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
As Medusa's figure disappeared from sight, everyone's eyes gradually returned.
Zi Yan walked up to the golden demon puppet with great interest. She circled around the puppet several times, her eyes full of curiosity. She raised her head to look at Xiao Ling and asked: "Xiao Ling, why is the color of this puppet different from the previous one? In the past, all we saw were copper or silver. How did you get the bright gold color this time?"
Zi Yan's question seemed to open a door to curiosity, and the Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin couldn't help but come over, their eyes filled with the same doubts as Zi Yan's.
Xiao Ling gently rubbed Zi Yan's hair, with a relaxed smile on his lips, and a hint of joy in his voice: "The ones you saw before were just human-level and earth-level puppets making small fuss. Look at this." He pointed to the golden puppet beside him, "This is a heaven-level demon puppet, a masterpiece that I carefully refined. Its power is not comparable to those of human-level puppets and earth-level puppets. The demon puppet has the strength to compete with a strong person of Dou Zun level."
As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, Zi Yan, Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin all had expressions of disbelief on their faces. They have followed Xiao Ling for many years and have long been accustomed to all kinds of adventures. The legend of Dou Zun is nothing new to them.
Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo, two former Dou Zun strongmen, although they only accompany him in the form of soul bodies, their existence itself is enough to make people awe.
However, when Xiao Ling mentioned that this golden puppet had the power to fight Dou Zun, it was the first time that he witnessed the power that could rival Dou Zun.
Zi Yan's eyes were round, as if saying: "Really or not?" Qing Lin gently covered her mouth, seeming to be trying hard to digest this shocking news. The little medical fairy raised her eyebrows, a glimmer of excitement flashed in her eyes.
The corner of Xiao Ling's mouth curled up with a hint of pride, and he said easily: "Don't worry, this is not bragging. This golden puppet will be my right-hand man in the future. On our way to Zhongzhou, with it on our way, we don't have to worry about safety issues. Already." His eyes flashed with longing for the future.
"Moreover," he continued, with a hint of weirdness in his tone, "this guy can also absorb elixirs to improve his quality. When I refine elixirs of grade seven or above in the future, those elixirs generated during the refining process will It won't be wasted. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. Once this guy absorbs enough Danlei energy, it can improve its strength much faster than our cultivation. "
The little medical fairy couldn't help but interject at this time, her eyes sparkling with curiosity: "Think about it, we are still practicing hard there, but this golden puppet can quickly improve by absorbing Dan Lei. This ability is indeed Very impressive." There was a hint of admiration in her voice.
"Such an ability has some similarities with my Einan Poison Body," she continued, with a hint of comparison in her tone, "However, its effect seems to be much stronger than my Einan Poison Body. ”
The Poison Body of Disaster can indeed quickly enhance its cultivation by swallowing poison, but it takes time to refine the poison. In comparison, the Sky Demon Puppet absorbs lightning much faster and can enhance its combat effectiveness almost immediately after being hit by lightning.
Xiao Ling waved his hand gently, with a hint of smile in his tone: "Haha, don't get too excited. Although this guy is powerful, if he has enough thunder and lightning power, he can improve his cultivation very quickly, but its potential is There is an upper limit. No matter how much lightning energy you absorb, you will only be able to reach the peak of Dou Zun, and it won’t be any higher.”
He turned to the little medical fairy, with a trace of envy flashing in his eyes, "As for your disaster poison body, that's different. As long as there is a sufficient supply of poison, it is only a matter of time for you to break through to Dou Sheng. With such a physique, That’s the real horror.”
