Chapter 977: The Last Resort

The strength of a third-level monster is equivalent to that of a warrior in the middle and late stages of muscle tempering. Although monsters of this level are not as terrifying as demon beasts, some special parts that can release attacks are still very tough.

The sword growing on the claws of this mantis-like monster is its unique means of attack. I don’t know what method it uses to practice, or it is a unique feature of this monster. The sword has no reaction at all under the scorching fire.

If you want to refine a weapon through this claw, then Zuo Feng may have to give up now, but fortunately what he wants to do is to help the corpse puppet refine an arm.

According to his original idea, this claw will shrink after refining, and then adding some materials will make it stronger. Now it seems that it is no longer necessary to make it stronger, and it is impossible to shrink it, so the only way is to let the beast arm, which is one size larger than the corpse puppet, be directly connected to the shoulder of the corpse puppet.

The temperature of the corpse puppet's surface has completely dropped at this time. The film that originally wrapped around its body surface has now completely solidified and become a kind of shell-like existence. Touching it gently with your hand will give people a slippery feeling.

Zuo Feng is still very satisfied with the corpse puppet at this moment, but he can't be sure of the current combat power of the corpse puppet, and he can't accurately judge the level of strength and destructive power.

Zuo Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and sent out a trace of mental power. The corpse puppet that was originally like a wood carving suddenly opened its eyes. Those eyes full of death breath made people who saw it for the first time feel a palpitation.

There is a soul needle inserted in the back of the neck of this corpse puppet, but Zuo Feng does not need to pierce the soul needle into his body. He can directly release mental power to connect the corpse puppet.

This method of controlling the corpse puppet is also more convenient, and there is no need to self-harm like before. However, there is also a weakness, that is, once the corpse puppet controlled by oneself encounters a being with stronger mental power than oneself, the corpse puppet will immediately change its owner.

Fortunately, Zuo Feng has telekinesis. Unless a strong man in the Refining Spirit Stage tries to seize the control of the corpse puppet, ordinary warriors in the Refining Qi Stage cannot compete with him at all. If a supreme strong man in the Refining Spirit Stage wants to deal with him, he will not be so bored as to seize the corpse puppet. He can kill him instantly with a direct attack.

The corpse puppet's eyes suddenly widened, and he raised his foot and slowly took a step forward. It seemed that his movements were still a little stiff. But when that foot stepped on the ground, the shoulder without the arm stretched forward slightly, and then twisted the body and suddenly raised the other arm to wave towards the void.

Because it was the first time to control the corpse puppet without the soul needle, Zuo Feng still needed to adapt a little. After just a moment, Zuo Feng was able to feel some of the tricks. When the corpse puppet swung out a punch, it already looked like Zuo Feng's attack.

The corpse puppet itself does not have the ability to move independently, and everything needs to be done by the controller. When ordinary puppet spirit sect members control a corpse puppet to fight, they will be affected. This is because the mental strength is not enough and they cannot do two things at once.

Zuo Feng's mental power was strong enough, so he could naturally separate the consciousness and let the corpse puppet and his own actions proceed separately. However, since the corpse puppet had no consciousness of its own, all its actions were also controlled by the controller, that is to say, its actions were basically consistent with the controller's thoughts and behaviors.

The corpse puppet's attack was also the basic action of Zuo Feng when he usually used the Cloud Wave Palm.

"Hu..."

A low voice, accompanied by a slight vibration after tearing the air, swung out a punch as fast as a meteor and lightning.

"Bang"

After watching a punch hit the air, the muffled sound that made people feel a little bit of toothache also made Zuo Feng slightly stunned. Judging from the strength and speed alone, the corpse puppet's punch has exceeded Zuo Feng's strength. If judged by the strength of a warrior, it should have reached the level of the late stage of muscle hardening.

Although he was not completely sure in his heart, this made Zuo Feng very excited, and his eyes became excited again when he looked at the three corpse puppets. Zuo Feng touched his chin and thought, it seems that these three re-refined corpse puppets should be able to give those people in the red group a big surprise.

If the corpse puppets were only in the initial stage of tempering, they would not be able to exert much combat power when they were besieged by the Red Group, and they might even become a burden to themselves. But now that they have been re-refined, the situation is completely different. These three corpse puppets will definitely play a huge role.

When looking at the three corpse puppets, Zuo Feng had a vague idea in his mind, but after thinking for a while, he temporarily put the idea aside. At this time, the end of the beast arm had been heated to the final stage, and the flesh and bones of the beast arm and the internal bones were slightly deformed.

The war knife at the front end of this beast arm could not be refined by flames, but the end could still be roasted to achieve the desired effect.

Then Zuo Feng began to put some special materials into the cauldron, including the beast tendons and bones of the magic beast, as well as many materials that enhance flexibility.

This beast arm is to be connected to the corpse puppet, and the interface is exactly where the joint is. The firmness is secondary, but the flexibility must be as large as possible, so that it can flexibly launch various attacks.

After the materials were processed, Zuo Feng began to carefully heat the position of the broken arm of the corpse puppet in the last step. This corpse puppet had just been re-refined, and Zuo Feng had to be careful not to damage its newly condensed body.

Half an hour later, Zuo Feng gently wiped the sweat off his head. His handsome face showed a trace of fatigue, but his eyes were full of excitement.

Looking at the beast arm that had just been connected to the corpse puppet, the sword at the front of the beast arm was almost dragged to the ground, but thinking about the way it looked when wielding the sword to chop, Zuo Feng could not hold back a cruel smile.

The continuous process of refining the fire thunder and re-tempering the corpse puppet was a bit too much for even Zuo Feng's huge mental power. But fortunately, I just hid some of the use of telekinesis, and I can adjust it after recovering.

Medicines for restoring mental power are relatively rare. The old man surnamed Ni didn't know if he saw something. Among the medicines he handed over to Zuo Feng through Yao Qiu'er was a bottle of medium-grade divine refining liquid. Although it is only a middle-grade product among the medicinal liquids, even a small bottle of medicinal liquid that restores mental strength will cause people to scramble for it like crazy when it is placed outside.

People who practice medicine refining and weapon refining will consume a lot of mental power. If they wait for their mental power to recover slowly, the process will still be relatively slow. If there is such a bottle of medicinal liquid, it can greatly increase the speed of these people's refining, and can also help them improve their ability to refine items in a short period of time.

Zuo Feng didn't waste too much. He just took a dozen drops of medicine to restore his telekinesis to a certain extent. Although he could not return to his peak state, Zuo Feng's transformation was not completely completed at this time, so he was able to recover in a short period of time.

The transformation of Nahai and Nianhai has basically been completed, and the physical transformation has reached the final stage, and everything is almost stable. The only thing that was still slowly improving was his telekinesis and spiritual power. The abundance of spiritual power had brought Zuo Feng's cultivation to almost the critical point.

It's just that for Zuo Feng, his cultivation level is improving too fast now. He has to stabilize his cultivation level first and never dare to rashly increase his cultivation level by another level.

His mental power can be allowed to improve on his own. While he is consuming his mental power, threads of thought are still slowly condensing in the sea of ​​thoughts.

After Zuo Feng adjusted his breath for a while, he showed a pensive expression again. He had just had an idea, which was also an idea that came up accidentally during the process of refining the weapon.

Sometimes the thought flashes through my mind at this moment. If I can't catch it, I'm afraid I will forget the thought after a while.

Fortunately, Zuo Feng still remembered what the thought had just occurred to him, so after sorting out his thoughts, he suddenly raised his head and looked around.

He now has something in mind, but whether it can be realized depends on a very special material. Zuo Feng didn't know if there was one here, so he immediately started looking for it in the stone room.

This stone room may not be big, but it is really not small, especially since various materials and ores are scattered in the room. If you want to find an item, you must carefully identify it.

Zuo Feng searched for it very carefully, regardless of how long he stayed here. When he walked to a corner, a dozen walnut-shaped stones fell into Zuo Feng's eyes.

Zuo Feng was stunned for a moment, then focused his eyes on the rocks. He picked one up and smashed it against the prison lock on his arm.

After a crisp sound, the walnut laughing stone shattered, revealing the dark green crystal stone inside. This crystal looked very ordinary. It was not as capable of emitting light as the aura stone, nor was it as transparent as the emerald jade used to make the jade bottle. But when Zuo Feng saw these crystals, he suddenly felt excitement in his eyes. Light flickered out.

"Trapped Spirit Stone, there really is such a strange thing here."

Zuo Feng muttered to himself, just because his previous roar made his voice sound very hoarse now, especially when he laughed a few times at the end, it seemed a bit sinister.

The trapped spirit stone is a very rare material, mainly because it can absorb spiritual energy. It is a special ore that stores spiritual energy. Because the stored spiritual energy is the spiritual power refined by the warrior himself, you can usually store your own spiritual energy in it, and when the battle consumes a lot of energy, you can directly extract it for use.

This is easier to use than some recovery liquids and pills, and the recovery effect is more obvious. However, the number of uses of this ore will be limited. Each time it is deposited and withdrawn, the amount of spiritual energy that can be stored in it will be reduced. After three or five times, it will be almost impossible to store spiritual energy.

In addition, this kind of material is expensive, so most people will not own it, and even if they do, they will not use it easily. But the excited look in Zuo Feng's eyes clearly said, "Even if it is a one-time consumption, it is enough."

This was the last resort Zuo Feng thought of, and it was also the trump card he left for the Red Tuan people.
