Chapter 2009: Smart People

When Lu Li entered the ninth barrier.

As expected, there was a flash of light inside, and nine humanoid puppets appeared.

Although the momentum was stronger than the previous eight levels, it was only at the peak level of a True Immortal. For Lu Li, it could almost be destroyed with a wave of his hand.

However, Lu Li did not do this.

Instead, he rushed towards the nine puppets in a flash and started a close-quarters fight with them.

Moreover, under the alternation of fists and palms, the force is just right every time, which can knock it away without making the puppet disappear.

"What is he doing?"

Shao Hu couldn't help but look puzzled as he watched Lu Li scurrying around inside, not beating him to death, just wasting away with a few puppets.

"I don't know, maybe I want to find out more about these puppets." Han Qingxue shook her head.

Snapped! ! !

As soon as Han Qingxue finished speaking, a crisp sound suddenly came from inside.

I saw that one of the puppets had its arm cut off by Lu Li.

However, the puppet did not disappear.

At this time, several other puppets suddenly flashed and attacked him.

Lu Li saw this and dodged to avoid it. At the same time, he waved his hand and shot out a golden sword light, cutting off the other arm of the previously broken puppet.

Then while dodging, he launched an attack on the previously injured puppet.

After a while, only the chest and abdomen of the injured puppet were left, and even the head was missing.

But even in such a miserable situation, the puppet still did not disappear.

Lu Li looked overjoyed when he saw this, and he shot out a ball of immortal energy to wrap up the mutilated puppet, and then with a thought, he took it into the Temple of Time.

Then he followed the same pattern again and disposed of the remaining eight puppets and put them all away.

However, as he became more proficient, Lu Li no longer cut off the limbs of the following ones, but only chopped off their heads.

As the confidants of the nine puppets disappeared, the stumps and heads that fell to the ground also blurred for a while, and finally disappeared.

The customs clearance barrier in the depths also became dim at the same time.

"Friend Lu Dao, what are you...?"

Upon seeing this, Shao Hu walked in quickly and looked at Lu Li in surprise.

"Let's go out first."

Lu Li said, walking towards the deep clearance barrier.

After a while, the three of them passed through the barrier and followed a sloping downward passage to the stone chamber at the end.

There is a gray vortex on the wall of the stone chamber, which should be the entrance to the second floor.

At this time, Lu Li stopped, then spread his right hand, and a golden ball appeared in his palm.

The bead is extremely small, only as big as a thumb, but it contains a strong force of metallic rules, which may be as mysterious as a second-level peak demon elixir.

"What is this?" Han Qingxue looked at the golden bead in Lu Li's palm suspiciously.

"If I said it came from those puppets, would you believe it?" Lu Li said with a smile.

"This...can't be true!" Shao Hu said in disbelief with his eyes widened.

"It is what it is."

As Lu Li said this, he thought again, and eight more beads of different colors appeared in front of him.

Counting the one Lu Li took out before, there are exactly nine, no more, no less.

And the breath on each one is different.

"Hiss...! This actually contains such rich rules of earth!" Shao Hu exclaimed.

If other beads made Shao Hu feel vague, this brown-yellow earth-attribute bead couldn't hide it from him at all.

This is clearly a demon pill with extremely rich earth attribute rules.

And Han Qingxue also felt the rules of water on the water attribute bead.

Although this level of Dao rules is of no use to a powerful Golden Immortal like her, this discovery is undoubtedly significant.

You know, there are golden immortal puppets on the lower floors, wouldn't it be...

Thinking of this, Han Qingxue couldn't help but her eyes were burning.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, could you please tell me how you discovered this problem?" Han Qingxue looked at Lu Li, her delicate face full of curiosity.

"What's the inconvenience?"

"Actually, I have learned about the way of puppets before. Although I am not very proficient in it, I generally understand some of its principles."

"The so-called puppet, no matter how mysterious it is, is inseparable from two key factors."

"One is the puppet's spirit."

"One is the power of the puppet."

"Spirit refers to the soul and intelligence of the puppet, which is what allows the puppet to react effectively. It is equivalent to the human brain. If this thing is gone, the puppet will be dead."

"Power is the source of power for the puppet. The puppet is not a human being. He has no strength, so there must be something external to maintain his actions."

"I have carefully observed these puppets before. The moment Fellow Daoist Shao kills them, a regular energy rises from them, so I guess that this energy is the force that maintains the puppets' movements."

"Later, I personally tested and discovered that this force exists between the puppet's henchmen, which is equivalent to the position of the human heart."

"Moreover, as long as the spirits in their heads are not destroyed, this power will not disappear."

"That's why I put the puppet's henchman into the storage space."

"And as expected, when I took away all the power of these puppets, their spirits also disappeared, and the level was naturally opened..."

Lu Li slowly explained the key to the two of them. This all sounds easy, but in fact, it takes an extremely careful person to discover the key.

"This is wrong!"

At this time, Shao Hu suddenly frowned: "I have blown their heads off before, why are there no beads left?"

Lu Li looked at Shao Hu in shock: "Fellow Daoist Shao, didn't I say before that you can't destroy the puppet's spirit first? There are rules and regulations here. Once the spirit is damaged, its power will disappear, and naturally there will be no beads left. "

"oh……"

Shao Hu scratched his head in confusion, "But, sometimes I blow the puppet's heart first?!"

Land from:……

This time.

Don't wait for Lu Li to speak.

Han Qingxue rolled her eyes at Shao Hu: "If you destroy the puppet's heart, isn't it the same as destroying the beads? You have exploded the beads, what else will I leave for you!"

"Ah? It seems...that's true." Shao Hu scratched his head in embarrassment.

Then, he said quietly: "Then what should we do to keep the beads?"

Lu Li smiled and said, "It's very simple. Just cut off their heads like I did before, and then put the body with the heart into the storage space."

Saying a thousand words and ten thousand words is not as effective as this sentence for Shao Hu.

Hearing this, he suddenly understood, laughed loudly, and said with cupped hands: "So that's it, thank you Daoist Lu for clearing up the confusion!"

Han Qingxue also gave a rare smile: "Fellow Daoist Lu is really smart. With you joining us this time, we will definitely gain a lot!"

Lu Li said: "Fellow Daoist Han is overrated. He just happens to have some understanding, not to say he is smart."

He said, looking at the beads in front of him: "We have three of these nine beads each. You can choose for yourself."

"How embarrassing is this? We haven't contributed at all to this..." Shao Hu waved his hand.

"Fellow Taoist, what you said is wrong. Since we are traveling together as a team, we will naturally share the blessings. What's more, these beads are not worth much money. Don't refuse. Share them out quickly. Maybe others will Already on the second floor..."

After hearing these words, Shao Hu and Han Qingxue suddenly became very fond of Lu Li.

Then they stopped refusing and each chose three.

"Okay, let's go out."

"There are some small opportunities starting on the second floor. We can have a little adventure on the second floor."

Han Qingxue smiled lightly at Lu Li and flew out first.
