Had it left, or had it discovered him? Just as Xiao Mei was in a daze, she felt a hot wind blow at the back of her neck. She subconsciously turned her head to look, just in time to see a bloody mouth filled with dense, sharp teeth.
"Crack!"
Before Xiao Mei could cry out, her neck was bitten off. How could a prey that had been targeted by the Divine Beast Puppet escape? It had long since discovered Mei Zi hiding on the tree. It only wanted to eat the four of them first before coming to eat her.
"Sigh!"
Du Feng, who had already escaped far away, could only let out a long sigh when he saw everything from the Netherworld Eye. Just now, he wanted to detonate the Netherworld Eye to warn those people not to go over. However, Puppet's observation range was much further than Du Feng's. By the time he discovered those people, they had already been locked onto by Puppet.
Even if Xiao Mei and the others chose to escape from the beginning, they would only be able to survive for a few breaths of time. With the speed of the Divine Beast Puppet, catching up to them would only take the time of a yawn.
After Du Feng snuck underground for a while longer, he did not choose to go up to the surface. Instead, he went even deeper. He only stopped diving when he reached the underground rock layer. He dug a spacious hole in the rock layer, cleaned it up, and blocked the opening before starting to get down to business.
The most important thing right now was to increase his own strength. It was almost impossible for Cultivation to break through again in a short period of time. Since Cultivation was unable to advance, he had to think about equipment. The Fire Dragon Sword that Fu Xi had forged for him was not bad, but the Red Ghost Armor did not seem to be enough.
The skin of the Armored Crocodile and the twenty-four pearls on the body of the Iron Back Snapping Turtle were all good stuff. If the two were combined to make a set of crocodile skin armor, its defensive power would surpass the original seventh level Armored Crocodile. At that time, even if he met a Heaven Seizing Realm expert, he would still be able to fight.
Du Feng first tried to use the Geng Gold Needle to inscribe the spirit on the crocodile skin. As expected, it couldn't be pierced at all. Not to mention carving words, he couldn't even pierce a small dot. No wonder it was the skin of a seventh level Demonic Beast, the Armored Crocodile. The two words "Armored Crocodile" were well-deserved. If the crocodile's skin couldn't be removed, it naturally couldn't be made into a fitting armor. What should he do?
Du Feng tried to stab the inside of the leather armor, and sure enough, he managed to stab a hole. The outside of the crocodile's skin was indestructible, but the inside was flexible, which was one of its weaknesses. According to this pattern, Du Feng first used the Geng Gold Needle to make a row of needle holes on the crocodile skin, and then made a mark according to the cutting requirements.
Then, he took out the Flame Arrow and poured a sufficient amount of True Essence into it. Then, he began to cut the needle holes.
However, he already had an idea. It was to inscribe the spirit on the inner layer of the crocodile skin. In order to inscribe a few more ghost talismans to strengthen his defense, Du Feng first sat in meditation and adjusted his breathing. Only after he had recovered to his peak condition did he begin to inscribe spirit.
Although the inner layer was the crocodile skin's weakness, it was still very difficult to inscribe it. Being able to completely inscribe a ghost talisman was already a great fortune. If he could connect the second one, its defensive ability would be close to the standard of seven and a half levels.
"Phew … …"
After adjusting his state, Du Feng took a deep breath and stood up. Holding the Geng Gold Needle, he carefully looked at the crocodile skin that had been cut. After thinking about it, he decided to start from the position close to the Dantian. The Dantian was the most important place for a martial artist. If the ghost talisman was inscribed in that position, the defense would be higher than other positions. In case of a life and death situation, he must first protect the Dantian and hide the Divine Soul.
"Creak, creak, creak … …"
As soon as the Geng Gold Needle drew the first stroke, the crocodile skin creaked, like an old door bolt that had not been used for decades. It was particularly unpleasant to hear. The toughness of this crocodile skin was too strong. Even the inside was not so easy to inscribe spirit. It was not difficult to use the Geng Gold Needle to pierce the hole, but it was another matter. The contact area was small when piercing, and the same pressure produced a great pressure. But inscribing spirit needed to be done horizontally, and sometimes he had to turn.
When the first ghost talisman was written on the fourth stroke, Du Feng's forearm began to tremble. He used his left hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, so that his vision would not be obscured by the sweat. After the fourth stroke, he came to the fifth. If he finished here, the crocodile skin armor would have the effect of strengthening defense, rebound damage, and invisibility, but the defense bonus was not that high.
When he wrote the sixth stroke, even the muscles of his forearm began to tremble. But Du Feng's wrist was still steady, and his fingers tightly held the Geng Gold Needle, not affected by the trembling of his arm. Fortunately, he had specially practiced finger strength, or he would have failed at this moment.
The first ghost talisman was finally completed, and the next was the most important. The moment he finished the sixth stroke, he directly entered the second ghost talisman inscription. If there was a slight pause, he would not be able to continue.
"Hey!"
Du Feng took a low horse stance, straightened his back, and shouted. The strength of the waist and horse as one was transmitted from his shoulder to his arm, from his arm to his wrist, and then to his fingers. The Geng Gold Needle drew an arc on the crocodile skin, and smoothly entered the second ghost talisman inscription.
Steady! After entering the second ghost talisman inscription, Du Feng's wrist was already sore. He simply clenched his right wrist with his left hand and exerted force with both arms, trying his best to control the Geng Gold Needle in his hand. The first stroke, the second stroke … By the fifth stroke, both his arms were sore, and even his shoulders felt like they were about to fall off.
What should I do? Am I going to fail just like this? I don't know how my friends are doing, and I haven't seen Adjudicator No. 3 and No. 4 yet. If a fight really broke out, I might not be able to handle it with my current Cultivation. Du Feng could choose to run away if he was alone, but what about his friends? I can't just leave them behind, can I?
I must succeed, and I can't fail. Thinking of this, Du Feng fiercely bit the tip of his tongue. Under the strong stimulation, the fifth and sixth stroke were completed in one go, and the second ghost talisman inscription was completed. Then, he sat down on the ground and panted heavily.
At this time, the ghost servant hurriedly ran out, desperately injecting ghost energy into the crocodile skin armor, while Du Feng took out the big black crystal and desperately absorbed the essence energy, striving to recover his body as soon as possible. When the ghost servant was almost exhausted, he quickly continued to inject Yin attribute essence energy to ensure that the crocodile skin armor was in its best state.
