"Get ready for battle. It'll only take ten minutes for the Puppet Vine to reach us," Lin Huang said to Yi Zheng and the rest as he was reminded by Bloody.
"Let's follow the plan. Kill it at the entrance." Yi Zheng nodded to them.
They returned to the entrance of the first underground floor and formed a formation that they had discussed earlier. They waited patiently for the arrival of the Puppet Vine.
Lin Huang and Lancelot were at the front while Leng Yuexin and the rest were behind them. Yi Zheng was at the back.
"Remember, when you attack the puppets controlled by the Puppet Vine, you must chop off its head. Other attacks won't work." Lin Huang reminded the rest again, "These puppets don't feel pain. Attacking other parts of its body won't work. Only by chopping off its head will you be able to cut off the puppets' strings."
In reality, Lin Huang had mentioned this to them earlier, but he was emphasizing it again before the battle.
The few of them nodded solemnly because they all knew that the upcoming battle would be a tough one.
There were only six of them, including Lin Huang's summoning monsters. However, the Puppet Vine had more than 3,000 puppets and five of them were on immortal-level.
At the entrance of the first underground floor of the ruins, Bloody had removed the projection. They were in complete silence, and they could even hear their nervous breathing.
"It's coming!"
As Lin Huang reminded them, they held their weapons tightly in their hands and looked at the entrance.
Three seconds after Lin Huang said that, a buzzing sound came from the well above them. In the next second, three bugs that looked like mosquitoes flapped their wings and appeared at the bottom of the well. The three bugs did not have high combat strength. Two of them were on crimson flame-level and one of them was on blue flame-level. It was obvious that the three of them were here to scout.
However, before the three bugs could see Lin Huang and the rest, Lin Huang attacked. A white light flashed in the void and the three bug beasts were beheaded. They did not even have the time to let out a cry before their corpses fell to the ground.
The speed of Lin Huang's attack shocked Yi Zheng and the rest. Even Leng Yuexin did not manage to see Lin Huang's movement.
Lin Huang kept the carcass expressionlessly and waited patiently for the second wave of monsters to arrive.
"Normally, the Puppet Vine would be fearful of the death of the pathfinder. Therefore, it would send out a few waves of scouts to figure out what was going on. In order to prevent it from finding out the truth about us, I would instantly kill the pathfinders to prevent it from finding out any information. Because once it knows that there are only six of us, it will definitely launch an all-out attack without hesitation. "
Lin Huang told them through voice transmission how he managed to kill the three bug monsters in a second.
Just as Lin Huang expected, the Puppet Vine did not dare to simply attack. Instead, it sent more scouts to scout the area.
The scouts this time were still bug beasts. However, there were five different types of bug beasts. All of them were adept at flying and the most powerful one was on gold flame-level.
However, the five bug beasts were instantly killed by Lin Huang as soon as they arrived at the bottom of the well. The long sword in Lin Huang's hand was covered with white lightning bolts. The speed of his attack was terrifying. Even Yi Zheng did not manage to see Lin Huang's attack clearly and the battle ended in an instant.
The ability that Lin Huang had just displayed shocked the few of them.
"I'm afraid the third wave won't be so easy …" As soon as Lin Huang finished his sentence, a white-haired young man appeared next to him.
The young man looked like he was in his early twenties. He had white hair and wore a black robe. He looked handsome but his expression was cold. He gave off an aloof vibe.
Seeing the white-haired young man, Lancelot who had been standing still turned around and looked at him.
Yi Zheng and the rest could not help but look at him too.
"This is Bai, he's my partner," Lin Huang introduced briefly.
Bai turned around and nodded at Yi Zheng and the rest as a form of greeting.
"This guy doesn't look any different from a human …" Yi Yeyu and the rest knew what Lin Huang meant by partner. After looking at him, they felt that Bai was no different from a human.
"No matter how many monsters there are in the next wave, you and Lancelot will help me kill them instantly." Lin Huang instructed, "Also, these monsters are puppets. We have to chop off their heads. Attacking other parts of their body won't work."
"Yes." Bai nodded.
As soon as Lin Huang gave his order, a buzzing sound came from above. It sounded like more than ten flying monsters were flapping their wings.
Due to the size of the hole, the scouts could not fly side by side. They had to land one after another.
When the first two monsters landed at the bottom of the well, Lin Huang, Bai, and Lancelot attacked at the same time.
In the air, a white glow, a few bloody glows, and a dark red glow flashed. After the scouts at the bottom of the well were killed, a few red glows climbed up like whips. In less than a breath's time, the red glows wrapped around the necks of the monsters that had yet to reach the bottom of the well. In the next second, the heads of the monsters were separated from their bodies.
The annoying buzzing sound went silent and the headless corpses fell to the bottom of the well one after another.
"The Puppet Vine should know that we're not to be trifled with. It might leave with the puppets or it might be enraged and attack us." Lin Huang's voice was heard by everyone. "That's right, the Puppet Vine should know that we're not to be trifled with.
"Perhaps this is the biggest difference between an Imperial Censor and us. We rarely think about what the monsters are thinking. We'll only think about the monsters' weaknesses and how to kill them when we encounter them." Yi Zheng thought that Lin Huang's way of thinking was different from ordinary people.
"Don't underestimate the intelligence of monsters. Many of them are as intelligent as humans. Some of them are even smarter than humans." Lin Huang did not explain further. Most of the summoning monsters that he had were as intelligent as humans. Bloody and the clown with Supreme Intelligence were even more intelligent than humans.
"The Puppet Vine's intelligence isn't low. Under normal circumstances, there's a high possibility that it will retreat after being killed by the scouts." Lin Huang frowned and continued, "However, it's a special situation like the blood sacrifice. It's hard to say if it will retreat or not."
Soon, there was silence at the entrance of the well. After a long time, there was no movement from the well.
"Did it retreat?" Lin Huang asked Bloody.
Bloody projected the scene above the well.
The Puppet Vine was standing not far away from the well. There were all sorts of puppets around it. Thousands of monsters surrounded the well and did not leave.
The Puppet Vine seemed to be hesitating as it did not make a decision.
