Chapter 3873 All Collected

With the long sword in hand, Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue gained confidence this time. Twelve puppets attacked them both at the same time. In order to ensure safety, Xiao Yi could only damage these puppets.

He tried his best to keep the puppet, but the power of the dragon-slaying sword was unusual. He cut off the puppet's arm with one strike and fell to the ground.

Gradually, Xiao Yi discovered the pattern. The activities of these puppets seemed to be unable to leave a certain range. In the main hall of the stone palace, the empty floor was divided into squares by lines.

These squares are similar to the floor tiles of a modern decorated house. Xiao Yi roughly estimated that one side is four meters long, and there are 8,864 pieces in total.

When Xiao Yi jumped into several of the blocks, he clearly noticed these puppets and stopped attacking, as if he had lost his target at this moment.

When stepping on some blocks, the attack power of these puppets will be greatly increased. They will pursue Xiao Yi continuously, as if there is some secret on the blocks.

"Could it be that...this formation is down there?"

After destroying the three puppets, Xiao Yi realized something. The master just said, don't be anxious when encountering problems, use your brain to think about what to do first.

After thinking of this, Xiao Yi tried to jump on a few stone slabs until the attacks of these puppets stopped, and he knew that this place was safe.

"Xue Yaoyue, come to my side. If you stand here, these puppets will not attack."

Xue Yaoyue stabbed out with his sword, and the cold air released by the sword directly froze the puppet, temporarily blocking its ability to move. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he jumped to Xiao Yi's side.

Sure enough, standing on the stone slab that Xiao Yi was stepping on, the puppet became quiet and shuttled back and forth along the stone slabs on the ground, as if its eyes were blocked and it could not see the existence of her and Xiao Yi.

"What's going on? The puppet's attack has stopped."

Xue Yaoyue said in surprise, just now it was said that there would be no end to the situation, these puppets swarmed up and wanted to put Xiao Yi and her to death, and now it has become like this.

"It should have something to do with these stone slabs. I think there must be some mystery on these stone slabs."

After thinking of this, Xiao Yi pressed his face against the stone slabs. He had not noticed before that it turned out that there were some small lines carved on these stone slabs. If you don't get close, you can't notice the existence of the lines at all.

"Are these formations? Are the puppet's activities all due to these formations as a support for power?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi quickly memorized the formation on the stone slab and turned around to tell Snow Demon Yue Dao.

"Xue Yaoyue, please stay here and don't move around. I seem to have found the magic door here, and I need to confirm it myself."

"Can you do it alone? Do you need my help?"

Xue Yaoyue worriedly said that these puppets did not seem to be very aggressive, but the cooperation between them doubled the power of these puppets.

You may get injured if you are not careful, Xiao Yi said with a smile.

"I want to figure out the formation diagram engraved on it. Just stay here. When I figure it out, I can break the attacks of these puppets."

Xue Yaoyue wanted to help, but she didn't understand the formation, so it was best to stay here and not move around. Not causing trouble to Xiao Yi was the best help.

Noticing the formations carved on the stone slabs, Xiao Yi looked at all sixty-four stone slabs in turn, and finally concluded that there were a total of six formations on the stone slabs.

One of them has no effect. As long as Xiao Yi steps on the stone slab corresponding to this formation, the puppet will not attack. The four stone slabs are arranged in the center of the sixty-four stone slabs.

It's definitely not possible to stay where you are. If you leave, these puppets will immediately attack again. If you don't deal with these puppets, you won't be able to do the next step.

The other five formations control the puppet's attack moves respectively. After understanding the principles of the operation of the puppet formation, Xiao Yi then has a strategy to deal with it.

"It turns out that these puppets, without the control of their masters, rely on the formations on the stone slabs to move. So as long as I destroy these formations, the puppets will lose their ability to move."

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi immediately started experimenting. He jumped onto a stone slab and dropped the dragon-slaying knife in his hand. The formation carved on the stone slab was destroyed.

The remaining puppets rushed in front of Xiao Yi, raised their long swords and slashed them down. Xue Yaoyue was startled and was already planning to take action. The next scene surprised her.

The puppets surrounding Xiao Yi suddenly stopped moving, held up the long knife, slowly lowered it, and moved to other areas.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, his guess was correct. There was an inseparable relationship between the puppet's actions and the formations on the stone slab. According to this idea, Xiao Yi destroyed all the formations on the other stone slabs.

All the puppets lost the ability to move, and the formations lost their effect. They were equivalent to losing the master who commanded them. Each puppet stood in a mess, looking like they were about to fall apart.

"This result is pretty good. Your mind is very meticulous. You found the key point."

While Xiao Yi cracked these puppets, Zixu appeared. First of all, he congratulated Xiao Yi for overcoming this difficult situation.

"Master, are you complimenting me?"

"Okay, don't be complacent. Now that the formation has been cracked, put these puppets away first. They will be of great use later."

Xiao Yi thought of the space ring, but he tried several times but it didn't work, and he couldn't put these puppets in it.

Knowing that these puppets are good things, it's a problem that they can't be taken away. Xiao Yi can't carry all these things on his back when he goes back.

"Oh, Master forgot about this. These puppets don't belong to you yet. Only after refining the array to control them can they be put into your space ring."

The array set by the puppets still belongs to the original owner of the stone hall, Xiao Yi said at this moment.

"The Taoist energy is blocked in this stone hall. How can I refine it?"

"Refining puppets does not require Taoist energy. You only need to inject the power of the soul into it, erase the original array and the remaining owner's consciousness, and then you can control it."

Zixu gave Xiao Yi the method of refining. He didn't realize the power of the soul before. At this moment, Xiao Yi finally understood what his master said before.

The power of Taoist energy is very ordinary. The real strong ones are those who cultivate both Taoist energy and soul power. Just like the puppet master mentioned earlier, the basis for controlling puppets is the power of the soul.

Xiao Yi tried to condense his spiritual power according to the method taught by his master. There was a formation in the puppet's body. He forcibly erased the consciousness of the formation, and Xiao Yi became the new master of the puppet.
