Tsk, tsk, tsk … the guard commander was really generous. This must be the hidden force within the City Lord Mansion. If it wasn't for the Apocalyptic Cannon, they definitely wouldn't have been willing to send them.
Du Feng was a knowledgeable person. He could tell at a glance that the two golden-armored guards were body cultivators and had reached the ninth stage of the Perfected Golden Immortal Stage. With such powerful strength, he didn't understand why they would stay in Yiyao City as golden-armored guards. However, he had to admit that with the help of these two golden-armored guards, their combat strength would definitely increase greatly.
"Take this and don't lose it."
Before leaving, the guard commander gave Du Feng another token. What did this mean? Why did he need to carry a token? When he took it, he immediately understood.
This … this was a token to control puppets. In other words, the two golden-armored guards weren't ordinary warriors, but puppets. It wouldn't matter if they were manufactured mechanical puppets, but they were clearly not mechanical puppets. They were puppets trained from real humans.
Puppets were even more exaggerated than slaves. Slaves might have a master-servant contract, but they still had their own thoughts. If they were forced to their limits, they might choose to betray their masters. Of course, the outcome of betrayal was usually having their souls blown up. However, some slaves would choose to self-destruct in advance and perish together with their masters.
Puppets were different. They didn't have their own consciousness and would only listen to their masters' orders. They would do whatever their masters told them to do. If their masters told them to self-destruct, they would self-destruct without any resistance. These things were similar to raising zombies. They didn't feel any pain and were extremely strong. The only difference was that they walked instead of jumped.
Well, Du Feng now understood why the two golden-armored guards were body cultivators. He also understood why they were still acting as guards for others even though they had high cultivation levels. This was because the puppets didn't cultivate to the ninth stage of the Perfected Golden Immortal Stage by themselves, but were nurtured to that stage. To put it bluntly, they were used to be sacrificed at critical times.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring the goods back."
With these two golden-armored guards, Du Feng was full of confidence. He used his movement technique to lead the way, and the two golden-armored guards chased after him. Because the armor on his body was too heavy, he left deep footprints on the ground. Fortunately, his feet were big enough, and so were his golden boots. Otherwise, he would have sunk into the ground.
"Brother Du, what did you bring?"
Du Feng was hurrying along when Xiao Hei suddenly spoke in the pocket world of the necklace. It turned out that he had just woken up. Needless to say, after waking up, Xiao Hei had broken through to level 18, and his strength had increased many times over.
"That's a golden-armored puppet. Don't be too envious."
Two advanced puppets at the peak of the Ninth Stage of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal were at his beck and call. It was indeed enviable.
"Since it's a puppet, why aren't you keeping it inside?"
Xiao Hei was baffled, wondering if his brother Du had lost his mind. Carrying these two big things while running would cause too much of a commotion. Why not keep them in the pocket world of the necklace and release them during the battle?
"My token is Level 3 authority."
Did you think that Du Feng didn't want to keep it? Of course, he also wanted to keep the golden-armored guards in the pocket world of the necklace. The key problem was that the token he had was Level 3 authority, which meant that there were Level 2 and Level 1 authority tokens above it.
If he guessed correctly, the Level 2 authority token should be in the hands of the guard commander, which was why he dared to give Du Feng a Level 3 authority token. If he and Du Feng gave orders to the golden-armored guards together, they would definitely listen to him. As for the Level 1 authority token, it should be in the hands of the City Lord who had never shown his face.
If Du Feng put the golden-armored guardian into the pocket world of the necklace, the commander of the guards and the lord of the city would know immediately. They would think that he was going to run away with the golden-armored guardian and would definitely cut off his Level 3 authority. In that case, it would be a big misunderstanding.
"Master, I'm back!"
As Du Feng ran, the Skeletal Warrior also followed. Seeing that there was no one around, Du Feng kept it in the pocket world of the necklace. In the previous battles, the Skeletal Warrior had devoured many level-18 demon beasts' skeletons. In particular, the skeleton of the mole leader had been very helpful to it.
If it could devour a little more high-level things, it could break through to the next realm. Now, the Skeletal Warrior could exert the strength of the first or second stage of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage because of the combined forces of seven warriors at the peak of the ninth stage of the Golden Immortal stage.
As long as the White Bone Banner broke through to the next big realm, then the warriors inside would be able to break through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage. This was very important to Du Feng.
If the White Bone Banner wanted to break through, it wouldn't be enough no matter how many level-18 demon beasts' skeletons it devoured. It was still a quantitative change and couldn't bring about a qualitative change. If he wanted to bring about a qualitative change, the best way was to devour the bones of the Exotic Beast Roar. Moreover, once the Exotic Beast Roar broke through to level-18, it only needed one of its foreleg bones to advance the White Bone Banner.
Therefore, the sequence was that Xiao Hei had to wake up first. Once it woke up and broke through to level-18, it would be able to suppress the Exotic Beast Roar. Then, it would allow the Exotic Beast Roar to break through to level-18. In this way, it would have the materials to advance the White Bone Banner.
"Okay, let it eat."
After getting Du Feng's consent, the Skeletal Warrior put a large pile of collected demon beasts' corpses in the pocket world of the necklace. Demon beasts like the Arrowback Pig and the mole leader were much stronger than the small level-18 demon beasts that Du Feng had raised in the past.
Not only did the Exotic Beast Roar eat a part of it, but Xiao Hei also ate a lot because it had to maintain a state that was stronger than the Exotic Beast Roar at all times.
"Roar …"
The demon beasts from the Demon Realm were indeed more nutritious than the demon beasts living in the Heaven Realm. The nourishing effect was very good. After the Exotic Beast Roar ate a large amount of flesh and blood, all the injuries on its body healed and it broke through to level-18. It let out an angry roar and wanted to rebel.
A Exotic Beast was a Exotic Beast, it would never be obedient. Previously, when it was beaten to a pulp, it looked very obedient, as if it had already been subdued. Once it had a chance, it wanted to rebel again. Because Xiao Hei had just advanced to level-18 not long ago, the Exotic Beast Roar wanted to fight it once it broke through.
If it defeated Xiao Hei this time, it would be free forever.
