Chapter 1670 He Xiao’s Deliberateness
Bai Ziqi turned sideways and glanced around, and sure enough, he saw something jumping on the ground, but it had been hidden by the snow and branches and was not noticeable.
They were the monster's two severed fingers, with sharp nails that had been cut off by a servant boy when he had attacked Yuan Dong previously.
Now they rolled toward the monster like iron filings to a magnet.
Bai Ziqi had sharp eyes and noticed that the cross-section of the severed finger was unusually dry and had no blood stains.
What’s going on? The monsters on the opposite side are not made of flesh and blood?
The two severed fingers jumped back to the feet of their original owner and then merged with him.
This characteristic is even more strange.
"Get ready! This thing has the ability to regenerate after being severed, so it's hard to kill it directly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon puppet that was fighting with the snow leopard roared, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
It appeared again, right behind Bai Ziqi!
It was five meters away and he came over in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, it hit Bai Ziqi on the back of the head.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. This guy looks like the leader, so killing him is half the battle won.
But this swing of the claw was like hitting a steel plate, because there was an invisible shield around Bai Ziqi. He was safe and sound, but the monster was shaken three feet away.
Bai Ziqi took advantage of the situation and pursued, grabbing the broken pestle with his left hand and smashing it hard, creating a three-finger-wide gash in the monster's shoulder.
It roared loudly, and a voice suddenly rang out in Bai Ziqi and everyone else's hearts:
"It hurts, damn you!"
Two large nets were cast, one on the left and one on the right, to catch the monster in the middle.
But the monster fell to the ground and disappeared from where it was.
Two large nets fell to the ground, trapping nothingness.
Bai Ziqi pointed and the snow leopard pounced towards the servant boy.
Sure enough, the next moment, the monster appeared behind the boy and opened its mouth to bite his head.
The snow leopard appeared in the form of light and knocked it down.
The two inhuman monsters fought each other again.
Bai Ziqi made an accurate judgment and found that this creature had the temperament of a wolf, always waiting for an opportunity to attack the weak. The servant boy had just been injured and had his arm broken, so he was most likely to be its priority target.
The monster fought very bravely, as if it had no sense of pain, and no matter how many wounds the leopard gave it, they healed in the blink of an eye.
However... Bai Ziqi's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that the wound on the demon puppet's shoulder had never healed?
He couldn't help but look at the broken pestle in his hand. He clearly remembered that it was this thing that caused the problem.
If the broken pestle hits the demon puppet, will it hurt it or even hinder its recovery?
Well, if you think about it carefully, the monster has been concerned about this broken pestle from the very beginning and has tried to snatch it away many times.
"Form a formation, don't let it escape!"
……
A quarter of an hour later.
Peace finally returned to the area around the stable.
The guards were all catching their breath and slowly put away their weapons.
Bai Ziqi held in his hand a glass bottle with a round belly and a small mouth. The bottle was transparent, and inside it was the demon puppet!
It was very unconvinced and kept hitting the bottle, but it just couldn't get out.
The mouth of the bottle is blocked by a brown fruit that looks like a large hazelnut, with several golden symbols engraved on the hard shell. If Dong Ruiru were here, he would interpret these words as the secret language of the devil.
Every time it was hit, the golden talisman would jump.
With a cork in the bottle, the Ashmona who came and went without a trace was trapped alive.
Of course Bai Ziqi didn't know its name, so Bai Shiqi came over and reported in a low voice:
"Xiaoer can't do it anymore."
Bai Er is the servant boy.
Bai Ziqi walked over to him and saw that he was leaning against a tree, his breath gone but his eyes still open. He couldn't help but sigh and gently closed his eyes.
In terms of intelligence, the servant boy is not as good as Bai Shiqi, and in terms of bravery, the servant boy is not as good as Bai Shi and Bai Shiyi, but he has been with Bai Ziqi the longest and is the most loyal to his lord.
For a man like Bai Ziqi who is in a high position, the quality he values most in his subordinates is loyalty. There are too many smart people in this world, he can have as many as he wants, and he can just replace them if a few die.
Only loyalty is precious.
The servant boy had followed Bai Ziqi through life and death many times, but he did not expect to die in this seemingly peaceful and harmless Yongquan Villa.
Bai Ziqi looked at the other three bodies, and after a while he said, "Cremate them, and bring the ashes back to Lingxu City for burial, so that they can return to their roots."
Bai Shiqi urged the candle spirit to quickly devour the four bodies.
Looking at the flames reaching the sky, Bai Ziqi felt uncomfortable.
The monster's combat power was stronger than he had initially expected.
There shouldn't be such a monster in the suburbs of Tianshui. But no one had mentioned this demon puppet to him beforehand, not even Liang Zhushi and Qingyang.
Have they ignored it and are unaware of its existence?
He waved his hand to call Bai Shi:
"Tomorrow morning, you will set off to return to Lingxu City and hand this monster over to the Heavenly Palace. Tell them that this is Cao Wendao's demon puppet and there is something strange about it."
"Yes." Bai Shi couldn't help but be curious, "Master, this is actually the demon puppet of the master of Honglu? How do you know it's not He Xiao's subordinate?"
Didn’t Regent Qingyang say that He Xiao also has a demon puppet master under his command?
Bai Shiqi answered casually: "If it was He Xiao's, he could have commanded the demon puppet to attack us directly. Why would he have used a fish corpse to lure us?"
Bai Ziqi hummed, "Although the fish corpse trap is ingenious, He Xiao should know that this demon puppet cannot kill me. If he sends it over, he will lose a good demon puppet for nothing. If I were him, I would leave without looking back after setting up the formation and quickly find a place to welcome the arrival of Emperor Liujiang."
The most grand Emperor Liujiang in the past 150 years is about to come. For practitioners, this is the top priority.
"Besides, this demon puppet is like an ownerless thing. The only demon puppet master who appeared near Tianshui City in the past month and lost his life was Cao Wendao!" Bai Ziqi said seriously, "Its combat power is outstanding, including some taboo things on it, which are very similar to the work of Cao Wendao."
"After Cao was killed, the demon puppet escaped and lingered around Taoxi and Yongquan Villa. He Xiao simply lured it to attack." Bai Ziqi pointed at the bottle, "Cao Wendao is a talented person and has unique research on demon puppets. His relics are very valuable to the Heavenly Palace!"
After his analysis, everyone was convinced.
Bai Ziqi sighed secretly.
If he had not entered Yongquan Villa tonight, he would not have had this inexplicable fight, nor would he have suffered these losses.
But how could he not come!
Even though he knew that He Xiao must have set a trap for him here, he still had to come!
He Xiao/Emperor Jiuyou has lived here for several months, and Yongquan Villa is full of traces left by this man. As long as Bai Ziqi studies it carefully, he will be able to understand him better.
He Xiao saw this point clearly and set up the Tiangang Transformation Formation here.
He could obviously tell Bai Ziqi directly, but he chose to go around in circles and make him solve the puzzle seriously, because he knew that Bai Ziqi only believed in himself and his own judgment.
His understanding of Bai Ziqi and grasp of people's hearts are so thorough.
In the past, Bai Ziqi always treated others like this.
