The battle ended, but no blood was spilled.
Lu Ye raised his hand and picked up a piece of the body cultivator's corpse. Taking a closer look, it was clearly a piece of wood.
Moreover, in the instant the enemy died, Lu Ye had clearly sensed a mysterious energy surging from a certain direction. It was as if the body cultivator had switched places with something in that instant.
Death Substitution Puppet!
Lu Ye immediately understood what it was.
Lu Ye had once read about the Death Substitution Puppet in the Dwarf Race's Rest Abyss Pavilion. This thing could be said to be the most powerful life-saving item, because it could replace the cultivator who refined it to die once.
However, this kind of thing was extremely complicated to refine, and the materials required were extremely rare, so there were not many of them in the entire Starry Sky. Even if there were, they were treasured and rarely seen by ordinary people. Only the most outstanding juniors of some major forces would be equipped with them in case of an accident.
The Dwarf Race had a kind of talisman called the Death Substitution Talisman, which had the same effect as the Death Substitution Puppet, but only Sunshine powerhouses could refine it.
In comparison, the Death Substitution Puppet's effect was undoubtedly better, because the cultivator could place the puppet in a safe place in advance, and when the cultivator was about to die, they could switch places with the puppet and let the puppet bear the disaster for them.
The Death Substitution Talisman was not good, because it had to be refined into the body.
Simply put, even if the cultivator with the Death Substitution Talisman could escape a disaster with the help of the red talisman, they would still appear nearby. If they could not escape in time, they would still die.
Now that the body cultivator had disappeared, and only the remains of the Death Substitution Puppet remained, it undoubtedly meant that he had switched places with the Death Substitution Puppet.
Lu Ye raised his eyes and looked into the distance. The corners of his eyes twitched, and he felt a little pained.
If he had known that the body cultivator had such a divine item like the Death Substitution Puppet, everyone could have sat down and discussed it. If the other party was willing to use the puppet to buy his life, then it was not impossible to negotiate.
But now, the puppet was useless, so there was no need to discuss anything.
A treasure like the Death Substitution Puppet was definitely not something that the body cultivator had the qualifications to own. Lu Ye guessed that it was most likely a treasure that the other party had snatched from this battlefield.
This thing was really priceless. If he really took it out to sell, the major forces would definitely fight over it. After all, which family did not have a few outstanding juniors? Buying this item was equivalent to having an extra life, an extra layer of protection.
Throwing away the remains of the puppet, Lu Ye led Dumbo and the others to chase after the puppet before the power of the Blood Escaping Skill disappeared!
Perhaps because of his confidence, the body cultivator didn't place the puppet too far away from him. Thus, when he switched places with the puppet, Lu Ye was able to catch a trace of it.
All of a sudden, a blood-colored rainbow pierced through the void.
At the same time, in that direction, two figures were fleeing at high speed. One of them was the body cultivator. However, at this moment, this fellow was in a sorry state. Although the puppet could replace death, it could not replace injuries. His previous injuries were still intact, causing his aura to be somewhat weak at the moment.
Beside him was a young man who was only at the middle stage.
Including the ghost cultivator that Lu Ye had killed earlier, this was a team of three people. One of them was at the mid-stage, while the other two were at the late-stage.
The task of this middle-stage youth was to find a target to attack, and at the same time, to protect the body cultivator's puppet. After finding a suitable target, the body cultivator and the ghost cultivator would work together to attack. During this period of time, the three of them had been working together like this, and it was very pleasant.
In the end, when the body cultivator appeared beside the youth with a horrified expression, it really gave him a fright.
"Who did you meet? Where's Old Black? " The youth tried his best to escape as he asked nervously. He already had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't dare to believe it.
The body cultivator said angrily, "He provoked someone he shouldn't have. Old Black is already dead!"
The youth couldn't help but be absent-minded. Although ghost cultivators didn't have strong defenses, it was actually very difficult to kill them. This was because they would often flee thousands of miles away if they missed their target, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, making it difficult to track their whereabouts.
Moreover, Old Black was a late-stage ghost cultivator. This trip was supposed to deal with one middle-stage ghost cultivator and four early-stage ghost cultivators. It should have been a piece of cake, so how did he end up in such a situation?
Not only was Old Black dead, but the body cultivator's puppet had also disappeared. This undoubtedly meant that he had also died once.
How strong could those people be?
At this moment, the youth's heart suddenly tightened. He vaguely felt that he was being locked on by a powerful aura. When he turned around, he saw a red light rushing from afar, chasing after him relentlessly.
The body cultivator also sensed it, and his face was full of grievances. "This ghost won't go away. They're going to kill us all!"
"What should we do?" The youth asked. The death of his two companions had filled him with horror. He admitted that he was no match for the enemy and was momentarily flustered.
The body cultivator's expression flickered for a while before he reluctantly sighed. "Accept your fate!"
"You …" The youth looked at him in surprise.
"I can't escape. They caught up to me just now. I'll withdraw now. You're on your own!" As he spoke, the body cultivator decisively withdrew from the battlefield. They were just temporary companions, so naturally, there was no deep friendship between them. When things were going well, they could still help each other, but once they met with difficulties, they could only fly off separately.
The body cultivator's figure disappeared. The youth sighed heavily and could only follow him.
Lu Ye, who was chasing from afar, couldn't help but stop. He had only come to chase after the body cultivator because he was very distressed by the consumption of the puppet. He was prepared to teach the body cultivator a lesson, but he didn't expect that the other party had a companion hiding in the dark, exposing his whereabouts.
But thinking about it carefully, this was a matter of course. The puppet that the body cultivator placed outside needed someone to watch over and protect, so leaving a companion not to show up was a normal choice.
Now that both of them had left, Lu Ye had nowhere to vent his pent-up anger.
"What's that?" Cai Yue's eyes were sharp, and she suddenly saw something in the place where the youth disappeared.
Lu Ye raised his eyes and looked over, and sure enough, he saw something unusual over there. His heart couldn't help but stir, and he hurriedly rushed over.
When he arrived, he discovered that it was a jade plate. Lu Ye raised his hand and picked it up, carefully sizing it up. He found that this jade plate was only the size of a palm and didn't look special. He tried to pour Spirit Qi into it, but there was no reaction at all …
"What's the use of it?" Cai Xing asked curiously, and the other three looked at him eagerly.
Lu Ye shook his head. "I don't know for the time being, but this should be a treasure unique to the battlefield."
The reason for such an inference was that this thing was left behind after the youth disappeared, so it must be something that couldn't be taken out. In other words, this thing could only be used on this battlefield.
Lu Ye tried to put it into his storage ring, but found that he couldn't do it. There was a layer of invisible force obstructing him, which further confirmed his conjecture.
This was indeed a treasure that could only be used on this battlefield.
Looking at it this way, the three-person team's luck was pretty good. They had a puppet and a jade plate of unknown use. Unfortunately, they found a team that they couldn't beat, and they were badly battered.
Lu Ye studied it for a moment, but he still couldn't find the main point, so he gave the jade plate to the others to investigate, but they still couldn't find any clues.
This was very troublesome. There were all kinds of strange treasures in the Chaotic Battle Club. The few of them had snatched a few before, but apart from the two Purple Amulets that had some value, the others didn't have much use. Now, they couldn't even figure out the use of this spoil of war.
"You take it!" Lu Ye threw it to crooked teeth Qiao. Since it was a treasure, he couldn't just throw it away. Maybe it would be useful at some point.
Dumbo was responsible for the Twin Qi Connected Array, and the Xing Yue sisters sometimes had to assist him in attacking. Only crooked teeth Qiao seemed to have nothing to do, so giving this unknown treasure to her was undoubtedly the best choice.
Crooked teeth Qiao took it.
The five people still maintained the Black Tortoise Array, and the power of the array plate wasn't activated. Each of them urged their spiritual power to rush forward, seeming to be aimless.
After a while, crooked teeth Qiao suddenly said in surprise, "This thing has a reaction!"
Lu Ye hurriedly stopped and turned to look at her.
Crooked teeth Qiao fiddled with it for a while, and showed a look of realization, "This jade plate is a map of the battlefield. It can show the detailed situation of the entire battlefield!"
Saying so, she threw the jade plate to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye took it to check, and found that as crooked teeth Qiao said, there was no reaction no matter how he tried. At this moment, he could clearly perceive the mystery of the jade plate.
This was a map of the battlefield. Not only did it record the topography of the entire battlefield in detail, but Lu Ye could even perceive many light spots of different brightness flashing in it.
Lu Ye often used the Ten Points Map and the Star Map, so he was naturally most familiar with this thing.
He immediately understood that those light spots represented the cultivators in the Chaotic Battle Club, and the brightness of the light spots represented the level of their cultivation.
Just like at this moment, in the center of the map, there were five light spots converging. One of the light spots was slightly brighter, while the other four had almost the same brightness.
This represented the five of them. Lu Ye's cultivation was higher, so the light spot was naturally brighter.
Previously, when his team of five was refining the Starry Sky Energy, how could they be found? Lu Ye thought it was just a coincidence. After all, they didn't hide their whereabouts. If there were cultivators passing by, it would be normal for them to see their traces. Now, it seemed that this was not the case at all. The other party was specifically looking for them.
It was because of this jade plate's effect.
The light spots represented by the five soft persimmons on the jade plate were very clear. If he didn't pinch them, who else could he pinch?
"How did it activate?" Lu Ye asked. This thing was a good thing. With this jade plate in hand, he could know the whereabouts of all the cultivators on the battlefield like the back of his hand, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to find them.
However, he first had to figure out how to activate its power.
"I just casually urged my Spirit Qi, and it activated." Crooked teeth Qiao explained.
Lu Ye couldn't help but be at a loss. He had clearly done the same just now, so why didn't it work? He had a faint guess in his heart, but if he wanted to verify it, he still needed to wait for a while.
