One of the puppets Lu Li was facing was a Warrior, while the other was a Thief.
If they had the same skills as players, then these puppets would be terrifying. This was because puppets didn't need time to react. Their combat skills and experience were all 'engraved' into their bones.
Moreover, the Thief was responsible for crowd control, while the Warrior was responsible for damage output. It was a perfect combination.
Glancing at Water Fairy's side, Lu Li saw that she was receiving the same treatment. He leaned towards Water Fairy and said, "Let's work together. Crowd control one Thief first, then focus your firepower on the other Thief. Be careful of the Warrior's ultimate skill."
In this situation, they had to work together. If they fought on their own, they would definitely die.
Lu Li didn't really care about winning or losing in this kind of test. The key was to at least be able to cast a few high-quality Gouges. Today, Garona had called him over to see his skill training progress.
As for the puppet's combat level, Lu Li didn't dare to believe that it was just for show.
Based on his teacher's relationship with the Great Tinker, Mekgineer Thermaplugg, the puppets that he could casually take out were far above the average level of Azeroth.
The battle began!
Both of them went into Stealth. The first step was to catch their peers. In order to better fight, Lu Li and Water Fairy both activated Mutual Visibility.
The two puppets also went into Stealth.
To be honest, Lu Li had always wanted to study the combat skills of these puppets. He wanted to know what allowed them to cast spells on the same level as intelligent lifeforms. Unfortunately, the engineering experts couldn't explain this.
Mechanical puppets were Mekgineer Thermaplugg's specialty. Even his best friend, the Great Tinker Mekatorc, had to admit defeat.
He could only ask his teacher to recommend him in the future. Right now, Lu Li had to deal with the Great Tinker's work.
Fortunately, these puppets weren't much higher level than Lu Li and Water Fairy. Lu Li had reason to believe that they were all level 60. The reason for this was simple: the Great Tinker would most likely use the principle of rounding up the levels.
Lu Li did not wander around, nor did he approach the two puppet warriors.
Who knew if the Great Tinkerer had used any powerful anti-stealth methods when designing the puppet warriors. Lu Li and Water Fairy's goal was only to catch a Thief.
He just waited quietly beside Water Fairy.
Lu Li believed that he wouldn't be caught because his Stealth was Enhanced Stealth. Since Water Fairy, who didn't have Enhanced Stealth, hadn't been caught, he could naturally be a little more confident.
She stayed by Water Fairy's side not because she wanted to protect Water Fairy from harm, but because she wanted to protect Water Fairy.
In fact, this guy used Water Fairy as bait. He was waiting for the mechanical marionettes to capture Water Fairy. If he acted before that happened, he could not only save Water Fairy but also achieve his goal of capturing the puppet thief.
A faint shadow appeared in Lu Li's perception. That's it!
Without hesitation, Lu Li threw Sap in the direction of his perception. An invisible rod-shaped energy beam hit the real thing, and the puppet thief was revealed.
However, neither Lu Li nor Water Fairy was in a hurry to come out.
They still needed to find another Thief. This time, they didn't need Water Fairy to be the bait. Lu Li was the bait because he had just used Sap.
The Staggering Rod might seem invisible, but it was actually traceable.
For example, the point of impact of Sap would first reveal the target's movement. This way, they could determine where the caster was standing. Then, the target would tilt due to the impact, so they could further determine the caster's position.
As long as the Great Tinkerer knew something about Thieves, the puppet thief he designed should have similar combat experience.
Lu Li retreated a little. Sure enough, something unusual appeared where he was originally standing. In his perception, the shadow of a puppet thief was gradually forming.
Lu Li smiled silently.
No matter how great an invention was, it could only be an invention. No matter how great a design was, it was still a human design. After the invention and the design were done, the connection between them and the designer would be severed, and they would become inanimate objects, no matter how clever they were.
Inanimate objects were, after all, inanimate objects.
Lu Li rushed forward and used Sneak Attack on the guy who had been lured into the trap.
Water Fairy still didn't reveal herself. According to the tacit understanding between her and Lu Li, she still needed to wait a little longer.
If the Thief was going to be Sapped for a long time, then Water Fairy would save her Sap for one of the Warriors. If the Thief was able to cancel his Sap before the battle started, then Water Fairy would give him another one.
As for what would happen after the Sap was canceled, there was nothing that could be done.
After Lu Li attacked his target, the Thief that had been Sapped used something to dispel the Sapped effect. What greeted him was another Sapped.
After Water Fairy Sap the Thief, she immediately joined the battle on Lu Li's side.
Lu Li didn't use Kidney Strike when the stun effect of Sneak Attack ended, even though he had enough Combo Points. He stepped diagonally and strangely stood in front of the puppet thief.
The puppet thief had regained its freedom and was dodging Lu Li's attack.
However, how could Lu Li let it dodge? He was now using Gouge, the skill that Garona wanted to see. He had poured all his effort into this skill, and his spirit was at its peak at this moment.
Gouge!
System: Gouge Skill Completion Rate 95%. Target is stunned for 1.5 seconds.
Garona's eyes immediately lit up. A moving puppet with incomparably fast reflexes was still able to hit a 95% Skill Completion Rate. This was enough to prove that her disciple didn't slack off.
Lu Li didn't notice his mentor's attitude.
He was a little disappointed. When he sparred with Water Fairy, his highest record was 98% Skill Completion Rate. Most people wouldn't be able to reach this level, even if they were training with a wooden dummy.
When he used Gouge just now, it felt so smooth and perfect. Unfortunately, the result was still not satisfactory.
After the success of Gouge, Lu Li didn't continue attacking the Thief. Instead, he gave up his position and faced the two Warriors that were charging at him. He first Banished one, then Blinded the other. He needed to create an advantageous situation for Water Fairy in the battle.
The Thief that was hit by Sap was finally able to explain his bitter life of Sap.
