In order to arrive at the fourth foothold of the Vile Marionettes before the man, Lin Huang summoned the Alexandrian Eagle and arrived at his destination within a few minutes.
"It should be around here. Let's look for it." Lin Huang said to Fatso after recalling the Alexandrian Eagle.
"How did you know that the fourth foothold is around here?" Fatso saw a black fir tree not far away. The tree was indeed a landmark near the fourth foothold.
"I'm afraid that we'll get lost if we rely on you to find the foothold. I've already checked the location of the four footholds for you before we came here. "Lin Huang found an excuse to fool him.
"If I knew that you've checked, I wouldn't have wasted my effort to lead the way …" Fatso did not doubt Lin Huang's words. He was the kind of person who would slack off whenever he could. He was willing to bet his life on Lin Huang when he met a friend who could manage things like Lin Huang. That was why he could sleep so soundly in the wild zone.
If Fatso did not have to kill the Life Seed monsters himself, he would not even look at the map and would rely on Lin Huang to lead the way.
"The black fir tree is at the fork on the left. If we continue walking for another two to three minutes, there should be a fork on the right. We should be able to see the fourth foothold when we turn right." Lin Huang said as he pointed at the black fir tree.
"That's what the guide said too." Fatso nodded.
Both of them walked straight and slowed down when they arrived at the fork on the right.
Lin Huang activated Boundless Vision and soon, he saw a group of Hideous Marionettes gathering not far away.
Each of the Hideous Marionettes had a square head. Below their heads were four limbs that were similar to those of humans, but they were longer. They were about two meters tall, and they walked on two legs as well. However, their bodies looked like they were made of wood. If they were shrunk a few times, they would look like toys.
However, looking at their faces, Lin Huang finally knew why they were called Hideous Marionettes. Their nose, eyes, and mouth were placed in a messy position as if they were toys that were placed in the wrong position. What made him speechless was that each of the Hideous Marionettes had different facial features. Each of them had their own unique ugliness.
"If such a thing were to be shrunk tens of times and sold as a toy, nobody would want it. Its face is just too scary," Lin Huang thought to himself.
"Fatso, wait here. I'll get Bai to catch one." Lin Huang said to Fatso and went deeper into the fog.
In the foggy area, the Ugly Puppet did not know that danger had arrived and was still wandering around leisurely.
Suddenly, a few beams of red light flashed and one of the Hideous Marionettes disappeared.
After a while, Lin Huang returned with Bai and an Hideous Marionette that was tied up by the Blood Spirit wings.
"Fatso, I've packed it up for you. Just stab it to death." Lin Huang's service was excellent.
Fatso looked at the Hideous Marionette that was tied up like a dumpling and grinned. "This should be the easiest advancement in history!"
The bronze equipment in his hand transformed into a battle sword and sliced through the Hideous Marionette's neck. The Hideous Marionette's head fell to the ground.
However, the carcass soon turned into a wooden stake and the body appeared somewhere else.
Lin Huang and Fatso were stunned to see that.
Bai extended the four Blood Spirit wings on his back and completed the capture.
Fatso regained his senses and sliced the Hideous Marionette's head off.
The Hideous Marionette turned into a wooden stake again and ran away.
However, no matter how fast it was, it could not outrun Bai and was captured again.
Fatso killed it again …
Just like that, Fatso killed it five times and the Hideous Marionette's carcass did not turn into a wooden stake again.
Bai let go of the carcass and white Life Light gushed out of the carcass towards Fatso.
The Life Light Baptism lasted for about two to three minutes and Fatso had finally leveled up to bronze-level.
"How is it? Is the Life Seed okay?" Lin Huang walked over and asked.
"It's fine, it's just like what the internet said." Fatso nodded, "I'm done with my business and I can go back to Fog City now. We can go back to Baqi City after you're done with your business. "
"You don't have to wait for me, I'll be delayed for a few days." Lin Huang did not expect Fatso to stay and wait for him.
"It's okay, I've leveled up to bronze-level and I'm not in a hurry to go home. If it's not convenient for you, I can stay at the hotel to practice my Life Skill. I won't delay your business. Contact me when you're done and we'll leave Fog City together. " Fatso was being nice as he felt bad for leaving Lin Huang alone since he had helped him.
"You should go back to Baqi City first, I'm not sure how long I'll be delayed." The reason why Lin Huang did not want to go back to Baqi City with Fatso was that the Breath Concealment ability could only hide the strength of one's rank but not his combat level. As soon as he leveled up to bronze-level, Fatso who was also bronze-level would be able to sense the change in his combat level. By then, the secret of him leveling up would be exposed.
Although Fatso was a nice guy, Lin Huang did not think that he would be able to keep his secret. Therefore, there were many things that Lin Huang did not want Fatso to know.
"I'll wait for you for a month, I'm free anyway." Fatso was loyal to Lin Huang, "If you're not done after a month, I'll leave."
"Alright …" Lin Huang nodded helplessly.
"Are we going back to the city now?" Fatso asked.
"I'll get the Alexandrian Eagle to send you back. I have something to do here so I won't go back to the city." Lin Huang summoned the Alexandrian Eagle as he spoke.
Although Fatso had a lot of questions in his mind, he thought that some of them were related to Lin Huang's privacy and there was no need for him to probe further, so he decided to keep quiet.
Fatso climbed onto the Alexandrian Eagle and Lin Huang instructed the Alexandrian Eagle. The Alexandrian Eagle flapped its wings and flew towards Fog City with Fatso on its back.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang went back into the fog and got Bai to capture another Vile Marionette. After killing it six times, it finally killed the Vile Marionette.
The white Life Light from the carcass of the Vile Marionette gushed towards Lin Huang.
His entire body was bathed in the white glow and the Life Wheel in his body began to change rapidly.
The Life Wheel that was originally a black metal color began to change into a bronze color.
This was the transformation of the Life Wheel that would happen every time he leveled up.
As the iron-grade Life Wheel was completely transformed into a bronze Life Wheel, three circles of blank ticks appeared on its surface. The number of ticks on each circle was exactly the same as before, which was 360.
While the Life Wheel in Lin Huang's body was transforming, the two Life Wheels that were transformed from the Life Power Storage Cards began to transform as well.
Soon, the three bronze Life Wheels in Lin Huang's body were formed.
As the transformation of the Life Wheel was completed, the Life Light Baptism was coming to an end. Just as the Life Light Baptism was about to end, a thumb-sized grayish-black particle suddenly came out from the carcass of the Vile Marionette and entered Lin Huang's body, entering the bronze Life Wheel that had just been formed.
"Life Seed detected, would you like to turn it into a card?" Xiao Hei's voice was heard.
"Then, let's turn it into a card." Lin Huang nodded.
Soon, Xiao Hei's voice was heard again.
"It has been turned into a card."
Lin Huang immediately looked at the new Life Seed Card. The front of the card was the same as the Sly Hand Card which was a grayish-black furry ball. He immediately looked at the back of the card to see the details.
"Life Seed Card"
"Life Seed Name: Substitute"
"Rarity: Normal"
"Type: Psychic"
"Talent Effect: Replaces non-lethal damage with a wooden dummy. Limited to three times a day."
"Card Remarks: Trash"
Lin Huang was speechless when he saw the Life Seed Card Remarks from Xiao Hei. It had been a long time since Xiao Hei commented on the card.
After keeping the Life Seed Card, Lin Huang mumbled to himself, "I definitely can't meet Fatso now. Otherwise, my combat level will be exposed. I'll stay in this canyon and accumulate my Life Power to bronze-level rank-3. "
Lin Huang looked at Bai who was standing next to him. It had leveled up to silver-level rank-1.
Under normal circumstances, a double mutated monster's basic combat level would be above transcendent. Monsters like the Demonic Dandelion Vine that completed its double mutation before it leveled up to transcendent was an exception. Aside from the Demonic Dandelion Vine, Lin Huang had a few epic-level Monster Cards that would level up together with Lin Huang before they leveled up to transcendent. Before Lin Huang leveled up to gold-level, his combat level would always be one rank higher than Bai's.
Now that Bai was a silver-level rank-1, his ability might be above most of the gold-level rank-1 monsters. In the level-4 wild zone, he could defeat most of the monsters. Lin Huang was looking forward to leveling up his combat level.
Just when Lin Huang was thinking about that, a man and a lady walked out of the mist in front of him all of a sudden.
The man was huge. He was 2.2 meters tall and the lady was 2.3 meters tall.
The woman was about 1.7 meters tall, but next to this big guy, she seemed a little petite.
Both of them had a black coat on their backs and a black hat on their heads. They walked slowly towards Lin Huang.
Lin Huang looked at the both of them with his guard up. He could not sense the strength of their aura at all.
"Hi, little brother." The lady greeted Lin Huang before she even got close.
"What's the matter?" Lin Huang suspected that the both of them were transcendent.
"Nothing much. I just thought that your vampire is doing well, so I came to take a look." The lady smiled.
"Double mutation?" The big guy sensed Bai's abnormality and asked the lady in confusion, "Double mutation?"
"Yes, it's double mutated." The lady walked slowly towards Bai and walked around it. She looked at it carefully. "This is my first time seeing a vampire that has mutated twice."
