I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1550 - 1549: Palace, Poisonous Smoke, Puppets
"Miss Zi, I’m here!" Zhang Xiaohao smiled.
He hugged Zi Wuling tightly as she rushed over and gently patted her back to reassure her not to be afraid.
"Brother Xu, did you know? Wuling had a very strange dream, in the dream you left me, and Wuling could never see you again!" Zi Wuling said worriedly.
"No, I won’t, haven’t I always been by your side?" Zhang Xiaohao replied with a smile.
"Hmm!" Zi Wuling nodded.
She lifted her pair of enchanting eyes and looked fervently at Zhang Xiaohao.
"Brother Xu, I need you to spoil me fiercely!"
"Huh? Right now?" Zhang Xiaohao was taken aback.
"Yes!" Zi Wuling nodded heavily.
"Roar!" At that moment, Zhang Xiaohao let out a low growl and pounced fiercely like a hungry tiger.
When the beloved has a need, what reason does a man have not to fulfill it?
Three days later.
During these three days, Zhang Xiaohao employed all sorts of tricks, vigorously attacking Zi Wuling. Under Zhang Xiaohao’s powerful maneuvers, Zi Wuling could only defend passively, yet she gritted her teeth and persevered.
Until she could no longer hold on, Zhang Xiaohao then stopped.
"Sigh, I understand your sentiments, but why do you have to go through this?" Looking at the sleeping Zi Wuling, Zhang Xiaohao sighed.
As he stroked her long hair, he quietly watched her.
Hours later, Zi Wuling awoke from her sleep.
"Brother Xu, I’m hungry!" Zi Wuling said.
"Okay, let’s eat! After the meal, we’ll leave here." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
He took out some Beijing roast duck and some marinated dishes, and started eating.
After they had eaten their fill, Zhang Xiaohao led Zi Wuling out of the tent, waved his hand and collected the tent, took out a map, and followed the route indicated to move forward.
Curiously, even though Zhang Xiaohao’s divine thought could only probe within ten feet, the two of them encountered no danger nor any minor obstacle along their path.
"Brother Xu, it’s so strange! It’s quiet all around, I just feel like something’s not right! Moreover, it’s been far too peaceful on this journey." Zi Wuling said, frowning.
"Let’s keep going! Just let nature take its course, no need to overthink." Zhang Xiaohao replied.
"Hmm." Zi Wuling nodded.
The two of them walked forward for a while longer, about half a day later, they stopped outside a giant palace.
The gigantic palace in front of them almost swept across half the space, blocking Zhang Xiaohao’s way. Outside the giant palace were placed two white jade lions and some puppets clad in armor.
"Brother Xu, could this be the place?" Zi Wuling asked.
"It shouldn’t be! Besides, many people have entered this secret realm, if we were here, there would surely be plenty of people around. Also, have you noticed how quiet it is here? It’s so silent you can hear a pin drop, does it look like anyone’s been around?" Zhang Xiaohao carefully observed the surroundings.
"Brother Xu, what should we do now?" Zi Wuling furrowed her brows.
"You step back a bit, let me try something." Zhang Xiaohao replied.
Immediately, he patted the storage pouch at his waist, and a monkey puppet appeared on the ground. Zhang Xiaohao took out two high-grade spirit stones and inserted them into its body, twisted a seal with his hands, and shouted, "Go!"
Following Zhang Xiaohao’s command, the monkey puppet quickly moved and rushed towards the palace gate.
Swish, swish, swish!!!
Suddenly, dark green poisonous mist spurted from the mouths of the two jade lions, while the armored puppets standing beside them seemed to come alive, emitting mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level, all surrounding and attacking the monkey puppet.
Bang, bang, bang!!!
After a fierce burst of attacks, unsurprisingly, the monkey puppet was directly besieged and killed by more than a hundred armored puppets.
The surrounding dark green poisonous mist dissipated, returning to how it was before.
If it weren’t for the monkey puppet lying on the ground as evidence of what had just happened, it would almost seem like a dream.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Xiaohao’s gaze flickered.
"Wait here, I’ll go check it out." Zhang Xiaohao instructed.
"Ah! Brother Xu, this poisonous smoke is clearly toxic! Besides, with so many puppets coming at you together, you’re no match for them!" Zi Wuling exclaimed anxiously.
"No worries! Just wait here for me, leave everything else to me." Zhang Xiaohao assured.
Having said that, he strode confidently towards the palace ahead.
Zhang Xiaohao’s decision was not impulsive, but made after careful observation.
From the previous puppet battle, he obtained a useful piece of information; when the monkey puppet went in, the poisonous smoke was triggered, spewing from the mouths of the two white jade lions.
Afterward, the surrounding armored puppets began moving. Though they appear numerous, in reality, they are deliberately set up against challengers. The stronger your power, the greater the force these puppets will unleash.
With Zhang Xiaohao’s arrival, the dark green poisonous smoke shot out again from the mouths of the two white jade lions, instantly covering an area within ten feet with the smoke.
Clack, clack, clack!!!
Mechanical clattering sounds resounded, and the armored puppets moved once more, brandishing gleaming silver spears, oppressive evil qi emanating from their bodies, pressing towards Zhang Xiaohao.
"Just as I expected, all are mid-stage Foundation Establishment! If these are all the tricks you have, plus this little bit of poisonous smoke, you can’t stop me!" Zhang Xiaohao said confidently.
Though the poisonous smoke is potent, it’s insignificant before Zhang Xiaohao who possesses the Shennong Reincarnation Scripture.
"Snow God Body——!"
"Netherworld Demon Body——!"
"Three Heads and Six Arms——!"
Zhang Xiaohao let out successive low growls.
In a twinkling, his body swirled and transformed into a giant three feet tall, limbs and arms along with two heads emerging from both flanks, instantly transforming into a giant.
Chaos Light encircled his body, and an overpowering energy burst forth from within.
"Break it for me!" Zhang Xiaohao snorted coldly.
With a stride, he dashed forward like lightning, his two massive overhead giant hands carrying formidable power, striking at the group of armored puppets.
Boom, boom, boom...
Waves of intense collision sounds arose immediately.
Amidst the dark green poisonous smoke, violent turmoil ensued, with continuous crashing sounds emanating from within. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Outside, Zi Wuling showed a worried look, anxiously standing with her jade hands tightly clenched together, silently praying, "Brother Xu, you must be safe!"
