Chapter 167 - Puppet Two
The hammer fell back and used its tail to circle around Guo Fan, forming a defensive circle.
She vigilantly looked at the dolls that were slowly approaching her.
The blade was cold and the armor was thick. Under the illumination of the fire, some dark red blood stains could be seen. They were the last traces left by the bones on the ground.
Threads made of unknown material extended from the stone wall and the long lamp. They were like puppets controlling the moving puppets. The sound of gears operating echoed in the entire space, unpredictable.
Guo Fan looked at the approaching puppets and noticed that they had begun to consciously form a formation, and their posture was almost the same as that of humans.
Although the scene seemed somewhat unbelievable to ordinary tomb raiders, and if this was the first time they faced this formation, it would definitely be very difficult to deal with it. But to Guo Fan, it wasn't very difficult.
After all, he had seen this kind of group of small monsters many times.
“Listen to my command. Hammer first deal with the one on the left. Yijun still take the opportunity to shoot down the oil lamp.”
Guo Fan ordered Hammer and Yijun in an orderly manner. Fortunately, these two were the ones with rich combat experience. As long as he commanded, he could automatically attack and complete it very well. This feeling of bringing along two divine teammates was too comfortable. In the opposite direction, it made Guo Fan recall the time when he had nothing better to do, the fear of randomly matching up and being killed by a pig's team member in an instance dungeon.
The most common thing in Martial Monarch Cave's Tomb Instance Dungeons were these different types of human golems. Among these golems, the lowest level was the [Wood Man], while the highest level was still in the middle of the tomb. Near the body of a Martial Emperor, there were four mechanical beasts that looked like Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
Apart from that, there was also a very strange NPC in the tomb.
It was an NPC that could be communicated with, not a monster.
It was a female puppet that lingered in the tomb all year round. It was either a maid or a butler. It was very concerned about the entire tomb, but it did not have any hostility towards the players. It would just pop out from time to time and wander around the tomb. Then he would clean up and tidy up.
For example, they would clean up the broken limbs of some of the players that had been torn apart, and also give some warm reminders about maintaining hygiene…
It was worth mentioning that this female doll could be conquered, but very few players would try to conquer it.
Perhaps it was because her actions were too modulated and she basically did not speak, which caused many players to subconsciously think that she was a low level AI and was completely unable to be conquered.
In any case, robots would not have a healthy CG welfare map, so it was the same even if they did not conquer it.
However, as a guide maniac, the strategy was a form of entertainment for him, so not only would he not let go of non-humans, he would also not let go of non-living beings!
In fact, in terms of the result, Guo Fan felt that he had made a huge profit…
He had also gotten a sum of money for information at the same time.
He often sold out characters that hid a large amount of text plot information to the Tieba and the forums.
He could be considered an old customer.
From the identity of this NPC puppet, it could be seen that the wife of Martial Emperor Hee Junhao was a Puppet Master, which was a profession that specialized in machine-making.
This profession was also considered a hidden profession, but it was very difficult to activate. The combat power was quite considerable, but the main reason was that this profession was too hard core. It made you write code to create the so-called “Puppet Puppet.” From appearance to behavior mode, it had to be written by yourself.
This caused this profession to be extremely rare in the game. It was almost impossible to find it. Or rather, most of the time, it was not very good.
After Hee Junhao died, this tomb, including the mechanisms and the puppets inside, were all done by his wife. His wife's remains were in his tomb, and they were born and died together. It could be considered a pair of true love.
The monsters in front of him were at a relatively higher level in the tomb Instance Dungeon.
At least, it would be a little troublesome to deal with them with the hammer. The weapons of the human puppets were of excellent quality. The strength of the Demonic Dragon's body was not enough for her to ignore all of these. She could only dodge. Fortunately, the dome above this place was high, and it wasn't a narrow space. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult.
With Guo Fan, who was familiar with the Instance Dungeon, commanding, as well as the power of Hammer and Yijun, a battle would have been resolved.
The ground was a mess. Apart from the pile of old and new corpses, there were also a few lifeless dolls.
“The inside of this stone wall is hollow.”
Guo Fan walked forward and looked at one of the lamps. The wall had already been restored, but a large hole had suddenly opened up in the wall. It was pitch black inside, and the few mechanical puppets walked out.
“Want to open it and see meow?” The hammer was eager to try, and it swung its tail.
Guo Fan couldn't help but remind him, “You are a dragon now, why are you meowing?”
The hammer was speechless.”
Oh no, it had completely changed into Guo Fan's shape. He didn't even have the dignity to speak anymore.
Demonic Dragon's heart suddenly became a little depressed.
“Meow…”
Guo Fan stretched out his hand and patted the hammer. He smiled and said, “Open it. It's not easy to clear the small monsters. You can't just leave without saying anything.”
Although the hammer did not understand what he said, it probably understood what he meant. The most important thing was that he said to open it.
The Demonic Dragon's tail suddenly swept, and the wall collapsed to the ground. Smoke and dust scattered in all directions.
The wall was neatly filled with a pile of materials that looked exactly like mechanical puppets. However, it had not been activated yet, making it seem like there was a strange sense of terror.
“So it's a warehouse…”
Guo Fan walked in and stopped because the Mechanical Marionettes suddenly opened their eyes.
Originally, those dolls did not have any facial features, but there were some dolls here. Obviously, they were of a higher level and were more vivid and demonic, which made people shiver.
There were even more of them.
At the same time, Guo Fan also saw a cauldron in the distance.
It was one of the nine cauldrons that maintained the formation.
“Hammer, prepare…” Guo Fan was planning to break out of the formation at his limit. If he could break the formation of the Nine Cauldrons, these puppets were nothing to be afraid of. As long as he grasped the right opportunity… These terrifying puppets weren't a huge threat to him.
“Stop, that's the guest.”
A faint berating voice was heard. All the dolls that were shaking stopped and closed their eyes once again.
A petite figure wearing a light red dress appeared beside the bronze cauldron. She held a paper lantern in her hand.
In the darkness, the hazy light illuminated that delicate and white little face.
She held a lantern in one hand, a broom in the other, and an apron on her body, looking as if she was going to clean up.
