Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Chapter 190 Puppet Man in Black

"Puppetry. Dark Demon God, these people must be your masterpiece, right?"

"I'm really wronged. This is my first time here too. How can I control them? It's really not me."

"If it's not you, then who else could it be? Could it be the work of Bai Lan from before?"

The map bounced back and forth on Mona's shoulder and said angrily:

"Impossible. I believe him. Although Bai Lan is unruly, he is very upright. How could he use puppetry on these innocent orcs? Moreover, this place looks gloomy. There must be other orcs or something controlling them."

The Dark Demon God sneered:

"Tsk, I have the reputation of being a demon, and just because I'm a demon, you're questioning me? The ones who truly control all this are you, the ones who think you're gods. Haven't you ever considered that there are traitors among your own race? Just like the traitors in the dragon clan before, they'll do anything for profit?"

The Dark Demon God's words reminded everyone, and the Beast God nodded.

"It seems that there is something fishy about this matter. Everyone be careful"!

"Dark Demon God, can you try to see if your rune fingers can break their puppetry? If not, is there any other way to solve it?"

The Dark Demon God stepped forward, took out the blackened finger, and scribbled at the sky. Then, glittering golden runes appeared and implanted themselves into the puppet's body.

The puppet immediately stopped moving forward and stood there, really like a scarecrow.

"Hey, it really works. If that's the case, then it's okay. It can be controlled."

Before Mona could finish her words, the puppets drew their swords, spears, and halberds, and attacked the crowd without any reason.

Everyone was stunned and stepped back.

"Dark Demon God, what the hell are you doing?"

The Dark Demon God himself also looked very innocent.

"I was controlling it according to the rune fingers Bai Lan gave me. There were no errors before. Now it's like this, and I don't know why."

The map jumped straight down from Mona's shoulder and immediately turned into a big spider, squatting on the ground with eight legs, forming a huge pillar supporting the sky.

Golden threads shot out of his mouth, trapping the puppets and dragging them under his abdomen. The skull runes beneath his belly emitted bursts of golden light, which were reflected on the puppets. The puppets screamed in pain, and then bursts of green smoke emerged, disappearing under Yutu's abdomen.

Everyone was stunned by this situation. What was going on? Could it be that these weren't orcs at all? Instead, they were using another kind of puppetry.

The Beast God said to everyone seriously:

"This isn't Bai Lan's puppetry, but another kind of illusion that uses objects to transform into human puppets."

"Everyone, be careful. Who is so powerful that he can manipulate objects into humans? This is completely beyond our control."

"Yes, this is a kind of sorcery. If he can control people, it won't be so simple. In any case, the puppet has been destroyed now, so everyone should be careful."

The Beast God said, pulling Xuanwu, "The two of us will explore the way ahead, and you will follow slowly from behind!"

No one objected to the Beast God's decision, following cautiously behind him. Yutu walked slowly to the back, vigilantly staring at every flower, plant, and tree behind him.

Bai Chen pushed the cubs to the center, warned Long Ying and the other beastmen with his eyes, and then followed Yutu to the back.

As they walked, a thick fog suddenly spread in front of them, and the Beast God and Xuanwu stopped.

"This fog is coming strangely. Everyone, don't move," the Beast God whispered. Everyone grasped their weapons and prepared for battle.

At that moment, a melodious flute sound emanated from the fog, its voice gentle yet eerie. Some of the weak-willed orcs began to look dazed, as if bewildered. Seeing this, Bai Chen quickly cast a protective barrier, enveloping them.

"The sound of the flute is strange. It must be the work of the person who controls the witchcraft." Bai Chen frowned.

Yutu slowly crawled towards the direction of the flute sound, trying to find its source. Just as Yutu was about to approach, a huge black shadow emerged from the fog and headed straight for Yutu. Yutu quickly spit out golden silk to block it, and the two instantly became entangled.

Seeing this, the orcs rushed out of the barrier to help. For a moment, shouts and sounds of fighting echoed throughout the foggy land. Dragon Shadow swung his sword, and the sword light burst forth, splitting the thick fog. A black-robed figure stood on a huge rock ahead, his hands constantly transforming magic spells, controlling the dark shadow to attack the crowd.

"Who are you? Why are you doing evil here?"

The Beast God roared. The black-robed man sneered and didn't answer. The battle intensified.

"Mona, this seems similar to the beast-taming techniques of my Qilin tribe. He almost controlled us. Is there a similar technique that can control humans?"

"Elder Guiyuan, you'll know if you try it!"

Wushuang obediently turned into a Qilin. Mona took out the jade flute, rode on the Qilin's back, and gently played the animal taming technique. Wushuang also slowly rose into the air to assist Mona!

Mona's flute melody clashed with the black-robed figure's, a chorus of invisible forces colliding and intertwining in the air. The black-robed figure, sensing Mona's intention, snorted coldly, his fingering shifting even faster. As if bolstered by even greater power, the figure abruptly broke free from the golden threads of the map and lunged towards Mona and Wushuang in mid-air.

"Be careful!" Dragon Shadow shouted, his figure flashing like lightning as he shot into the air, thrusting his sword at the shadow. At the same time, the Beast God muttered something, and a burst of divine power blasted towards the black-robed figure. The black-robed figure was forced to distract himself from the Beast God's attack, and his control over the shadow was slightly reduced.

Mona seized the opportunity, whirling her jade flute and producing a high, stirring melody. A golden glow enveloped Wushuang, and he charged directly into the shadows, his Qilin power unleashing. The shadows gradually dissipated under the Qilin's power. The black-robed figure's expression changed. "You actually broke my Soul Control Mist Shadow Technique," he said, turning and attempting to flee.

"Want to run? Not so easy!" Elder Guiyuan threw a rope, which coiled around the black-robed man like a snake, instantly binding his legs. The black-robed man fell forward to the ground. Everyone immediately surrounded him, ready to uncover his identity and the conspiracy behind it. Qingli pressed a claw against his throat and asked viciously:

"Who are you?"

"Haha! I'm someone you can't afford to offend! Let me go now, or you'll all die!"

"You bastard! You're already a prisoner, and you're still saying these harsh words. If you don't answer honestly, I'll kill you!"

Qingli's claws sank deeper into the black-clothed man's neck, and blood slowly flowed out from her fingers.

"So arrogant! Let's see which is harder, your neck or my wolf claws!"
