Chapter 431: The Jade Light Rabbit
In the demon race, at the natural passage between the two realms near Lin Sen Fairy City, a Core Formation Stage puppet stepped out from the passage.
“Next time, I’ll leave the task of crafting Core Formation Stage puppets to the first clone,” Xu Fan said, controlling the puppet as it emerged from the natural passage, assessing its performance.
“Even though I provided the blueprint for puppet crafting, there are still some imperfections,” Xu Fan shook his head and said.
As he spoke, Xu Fan began to survey the defense base built on the beast race side.
A war fortress completely surrounded the natural passage, with a Steel Wall enclosing an area of ten thousand miles. Transformation Stage puppets stood guard on top of the Steel Wall.
In the sky, there were ten thousand precious artifact satellites, eighteen Demon Suppressing Stars, and one Demon Suppressing Star equipped with a railgun.
Xu Fan observed the buildings inside the Steel Wall; it had now become a puppet storage facility for Tian Puppet Masters of Third Tier or above.
In addition, the area within ten thousand miles had been cultivated into spirit fields, with all the Golden Core Stage puppets that the sect no longer needed sent to farm.
“It seems that development over these five years has been quite impressive,” Xu Fan said, watching the scene around him with satisfaction. If he had been there for five years, it would have likely developed into a similar situation.
Xu Fan controlled the puppet to board a spiritual boat as it flew towards the Steel Wall.
Looking down at the professional spirit plant puppets working in the spirit fields, Xu Fan laughed and said, “The profession of Tian Puppet Master is becoming increasingly sound.”
“Many mortals with talents in artifact crafting and alchemy have been discovered in the game, and we are currently optimizing the puppets specifically for Tian Puppet Masters, experimenting with their ability to control spirit fire and mobilize spiritual energy,” Grape said.
Xu Fan was taken aback and replied, “Have we already reached that stage?”
“A genius from a family of traditional Chinese medicine proposed this in the game.”
“Due to the dissemination of fundamental knowledge in the cultivation world, some mortals, after getting exposed to this knowledge, have created low-level longevity pills using various spirit herbs, as well as spirit herb prescriptions suitable for mortals.”
“Indeed, it’s pretty much what I imagined,” Xu Fan said, stroking his chin.
“Continue researching this; I will find time to visit that side later. This has great potential.”
At that moment, the spiritual boat had landed on top of the Steel Wall, and a command-type puppet, along with a hundred puppets, neatly knelt down when the spiritual boat descended.
“Welcome, Grand Elder of the sect,” a crisp voice rang out.
As the puppet controlled by Xu Fan stepped off the spiritual boat and looked at the neatly kneeling puppets, he gently said, “Get up. You have worked hard during this time defending the Steel Wall.”
“Willing to serve the sect, even at the risk of a thousand deaths.”
Their voices echoed together, much like a chant of “one, two, three, four,” and from that sound, Xu Fan could detect a hint of iron-like aura.
“Ah,” Xu Fan nodded, looking at the command-type puppet and said, “As expected of the Goddess of War; she is quite skilled at troop arrangements.”
On top of the Steel Wall, Xu Fan observed the impeccable defense setup by the Goddess of War, with each puppet playing its maximum role in the proper position.
According to Grape’s report, when they initially expanded outwards from the natural passage in the demon race, the Goddess of War took on a quarter of the extermination tasks, with damage ratios slightly higher than that controlled by Grape.
“Thank you for the praise, Grand Elder,” the Goddess of War said excitedly.
“That’s a fact. Work hard to become the top commander of our sect in the future,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“In my lifetime, I can never surpass Master Noyuu,” the Goddess of War said, a flicker of unwillingness in her eyes, which soon turned into resignation.
“Don’t think of using any scheming tactics against her; everything is already in her calculations. You need to use straightforward strategies, like a brilliant world that overpowers all evils,” Xu Fan laughed.
“Straightforward strategies? Thank you, Grand Elder,” the Goddess of War replied.
“Alright, you all get back to work; I’ll take a look around here,” Xu Fan waved his hand to dismiss them.
"At your command."
Xu Fan controlled the puppet as it flew out towards the Steel Wall.
He had come to the demon race this time to test the performance of this puppet and to see how powerful the techniques he had developed over five hundred years really were.
"Grape, what demon forces are nearby?" Xu Fan asked.
At that moment, a light curtain appeared in front of Xu Fan, displaying a map of the demon forces with the passage between the two realms at its center, extending for a hundred thousand miles.
“The Blood Lion Clan, the Precious Artifact Rabbit Clan, the Ice Snake Clan, and our old friends from the three races,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
"By the way, why don’t I see the Moon Fox Clan?" Xu Fan asked, puzzled.
"According to the information your disciple sent to the database,"
"the Moon Fox Beast King returned to the demon race and took the remaining clan members back to their Holy Fox Clan’s sacred realm, planning to enter seclusion until the fighting between the two realms is over," Grape explained.
“What a shame. We’ve lost a perfect scapegoat,” Xu Fan said regretfully.
“Then it’s the Frost Wolf Clan’s turn,” Xu Fan said, transforming into a Frost Wolf.
“Lions, rabbits, snakes—let’s start with the rabbits,” Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin as the image of a rabbit transforming into human form appeared in his mind.
After transforming into a Frost Wolf, Xu Fan summoned an Ice Abyss Boat, a unique technique of the Frost Wolf.
The Ice Abyss Boat soared towards the Precious Artifact Rabbit Clan.
At that moment, just outside the territory of the Precious Artifact Rabbits, three rabbit-eared girls were frantically fleeing toward their homeland.
“You annoying Ice Snake, aren’t you afraid our respected elder will come after you?” one rabbit-eared girl shouted at a massive Ice Snake trailing behind them, its length exceeding a hundred meters.
“Ha ha, little rabbit, are you scared? Your ears have turned pink, which is the color your clan fears the most!”
“Does your clan still have a beast king? Hehehe~~~”
A fear-inducing voice came from behind the rabbit girls.
A hint of despair flashed in the eyes of the three little rabbits. Their clan’s beast king had been invited to visit a foreign tribe not long ago and had reportedly been killed by the combined forces of the Blood Lion and Ice Snake clans.
Although the rumor wasn’t entirely true, it was indeed real that their beast king had been ambushed on the way, and during such a critical time, she had not returned to the clan. Surely something terrible had happened that they were unaware of.
"Three little rabbits, come over here obediently. Your clan is about to fall apart. Without a powerful protector, you’ll only become someone else’s demon slaves."
"Follow me. I am a Core Formation Stage Elder from the Ice Snake Clan. As long as you three become my handmaidens, I will ensure your comfortable living,” the Core Formation Stage Ice Snake said, chasing after the three rabbits.
At that moment, the three rabbit-eared girls came to a halt, and the Ice Snake also stopped in front of them.
“So, you’re not going to eat us?” a blue-dressed rabbit-eared girl, slightly less than half a meter tall, asked.
“If I wanted to eat you, do you think I would chase after three Golden Core Stage little rabbits for so long?” the enormous Ice Snake hissed, its voice deep and resonant.
