In the empty stone hall, the footsteps were amplified, and it was so clear at this moment.

In a stone temple that has been around for so many years, there is obviously no sign of anyone moving. Footsteps are heard at this time. What is going on?

Xiao Yi clenched his fists, and his nerves were tense at this moment. Xue Yaoyue held her breath, and the sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and she was about to appear in front of her.

"Xiao Yi..." "Don't be afraid, let's see what it is first."

The ice layer at the hole outside has a thickness of more than ten meters, proving that no one has come to such a place in recent years.

It can be ruled out that this is not a living person, so what else can it be besides the living person?

The footsteps became rapid, and just as there were several supporting pillars in the stone hall, four figures slowly appeared in front of Xiao Yi. The four men were wearing armor and holding long swords, clamping Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue in the middle.

The strange outfit is like a war scene in a costume drama, and the armor is covered with dust. It can be seen that the clothes were majestic at the time, but now they look a bit shabby, like a terracotta warrior dug out from the ground.

"dead!"

Xiao Yi did not feel the breath of a living person from the four people who appeared in front of him. These four people had been dead for many years.

Or maybe there was a secret that he didn't know. Just as he was thinking, four people held long swords and instantly came to slash Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue. Xiao Yi pulled Xue Yaoyue's arm and hurriedly dodged.

However, the speed of these four people was not weak at all. Before Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue could stand firm, the four long swords were already coming towards him. Xiao Yi hurriedly used his Taoist energy, and something surprised him happened.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Yi realized that his dantian seemed to be blocked, and no matter how he did, he could not mobilize the Taoist qi.

Faced with such a situation, the original practice of practicing was their strongest method, and now even the Taoist qi cannot be used, which is equivalent to no difference from ordinary people. Xiao Yi exclaimed in surprise.

"Does go!"

Xiao Yi pushed Xue Yaoyue's body away. Xue Yaoyue also realized something was wrong and could not activate Taoist qi, so she could not use the skills of cultivation.

"What's going on with Xiao Yi?

Why is the Dantian sealed, and even a trace of Qi cannot condense."

At this moment, Xiao Yi could only use the strength of his body to knock one person away with one punch. Fortunately, the strength of the body was increased several times with the tempering of the milk of the earth before, and it played a role at this time.

After one of the four people hit by Xiao Yi, one of them stood up from the ground without hesitation, making a creaking sound, as if the joint parts were rusted.

"The four disciples are not living people, or humans."

Zixu noticed the abnormality. When Xiao Yi's fist hits these things, there was obviously something different.

“Not a human?

What is that?"

"Puppets, they are not made by humans, but by wood."

Xiao Yi remembered that his master said before that there is an advanced technique, which is to use materials such as metal, wood, and leather to create some puppets that can manipulate actions. The simplest way to evolve these puppets is the shadow puppets seen by modern people.

Shadow puppets are usually operated by people behind the scenes, with a stick. The puppet technique is at many levels higher than the shadow puppet. They use the manipulation of Taoist energy to allow puppets to act. People with skillful means are no different from living creatures.

The strongest puppet technique can use puppets to control weapons to kill enemies. Because puppets do not know how tired they are, they do not know how to suffer. They only need the master's operation to move endlessly.

People cannot be resurrected, but it is different for puppets. The puppet suffers a fatal blow and can be discarded directly. To an ordinary level, the puppet master only needs to repair it again, so that the previous functions can be restored.

Therefore, in the world where Zixu is located, the puppet master has a very strong technique, but not many people have truly learned to manipulate puppets. This requires extremely high talent, coupled with continuous training, especially the control of mental power, which can be said to be extremely meticulous.

But there is another point. Even if your puppet technique is at its peak, because of this perverted killing method and shameless behavior, it is usually a sign that the puppet master takes action in a battle.

Then this puppet master will soon be on the list of must-kills. The so-called battle can be defeated, and the puppet master must die. A good profession will become the target of everyone being targeted. The puppet master's survival is very difficult.

"These four are all made of wood. The parts connected to the body are mechanical mechanisms, and the body is covered with armor for defense. It seems that the owner of this stone temple does not want others to break into this place."

Zixu floated around Xiao Yi's body and carefully studied this stone hall. The stone hall should be a place where a strong man practiced. The formations and mechanisms set up were all to prevent others from entering.

"But Master, you said that if you want to use this puppet technique, it requires the puppet master to operate it, but I am not here and feel the breath of a living person."

Xiao Yi jumped and kicked a puppet away. Although the puppet was mainly wood, it moved very quickly and did not appear stiff at all.

The moment he fell to the ground, he stood up immediately with a long knife as support, moved his arms and made a creaking sound, and continued to rush towards Xiao Yi.

"Damn it! You can't use Taoist Qi, otherwise these puppets would have dismantled them long ago!"

"You guy has come to the point. The activities of these puppets are not man-made. A large formation is arranged in the stone hall. The owner here has already arranged methods. Once an outsider breaks in, the formation will be activated and the puppet appears, and the puppets are manipulated to kill the invading people."

At the same time, Zixu told Xiao Yi that something very important was that the stone palace was banned. Except for the owner of the stone palace, those who broke into it would be blocked from the Taoist energy and their cultivation level was completely gone.

Unless your strength and level exceeds that of the master here, you can be free from the constraints. Otherwise, be an ordinary person here, and it can be seen that the master of the stone palace is definitely not a good person.

"No wonder I can't activate the Daoqi. This is to trap all the people who broke into this place to death."

Xiao Yi now believed the saying that the treacherous intruders will die without life. This place is very dangerous, but people often ignore the warning of this saying and regard it as a warning.

I always thought that my strong man would care about such a threat. In addition, this stone palace is full of temptation. Anyone would want to enter it and see what happened.

"Risks and returns are often proportional. Do kids have to retreat when they encounter some difficulties?

Master, I can feel that there is something good in this stone hall.”
