Chapter 1340

Cai He thought about it for a moment and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. When the old woman was still alive, the four of them had carefully searched this area. Besides the exit guarded by the puppet, there was no other passage. In other words, if they wanted to get out, they could only go through that round door.

Unless they stayed here and waited for Fei Zhitu and the others to come and rescue them, but no one could say for sure whether Fei Zhitu and the others could find this place. Staying any longer would only be waiting for death.

Rather than this, it’s better to take a risk. If you’re lucky, maybe you can really find some flaws and a feasible way to leave this place.

Although the hope is slim, it’s better than waiting all the time.

Thinking of this, Cai He’s expression became firm, and he nodded to Yang Kai and said, “Brother Yang, I’ll go with you. Although I’m not very good at fighting with others, having one more person always means one more share of strength.”

Yang Kai slowly shook his head and said, “No need. I’m just going to test what kind of ability it has. I don’t need Brother Cai to take action for the time being. After I test it out, we’ll think of a way to leave here together.”

“That’s fine. However, Brother Yang, be careful！” Cai He nervously reminded.

Yang Kai nodded seriously, and with twelve points of vigilance, he approached the puppet. Cai He and Du Sisi nervously stood in place and paid attention.

Half an hour later, Yang Kai ran back in a sorry state.

This round of testing made him use all his means. However, relying on his strength far beyond that of martial artists of the same level, fortunately, there were no major mistakes, and he didn’t suffer too much under the puppet. He was just brushed by the opponent’s giant stick, and now half of his body is numb.

Cai He and Du Sisi watched from beginning to end. When Yang Kai returned, the eyes of the two couldn’t help but become a lot more respectful. Because just now, all of Yang Kai’s various probes were simply using his own life for experimentation. Many times, the two thought that Yang Kai was bound to die, but unexpectedly, he could always find a glimmer of life in that desperate situation.

After watching for half an hour, the two were even more tired than Yang Kai who was actually taking action. They felt that every day was like a year, and their palms and backs were all sweaty.

But because of this, the two could somewhat see that Yang Kai was not an ordinary Saint King Realm martial artist. The various means he displayed had great power and were eerie and unpredictable. Even a Void Returning Stage expert might not have such abilities.

How could Cai He and Du Sisi dare to look down on Yang Kai in the slightest anymore？

After returning, Yang Kai remained silent. He took out a few more healing pills and took them, then sat cross-legged and began to meditate.

It was not until a full day later that Yang Kai gently exhaled a breath and opened his eyes. The shining divine light flickered in his eyes, and he seemed to have recovered. Cai He and Du Sisi, who had been waiting by the side, saw this and quickly moved closer, looking at him with eyes.

How could Yang Kai not know what they were thinking? He didn’t play any tricks either and said, “There is a chance！”

Hearing this, Cai He and Du Sisi’s eyes lit up, and a hint of joy emerged. Cai He even sat cross-legged in front of Yang Kai and said eagerly, “How can we get rid of this puppet? Please give us some advice, Brother Yang. Sisi and I will fully cooperate.”

“Get rid of？” Yang Kai had a strange expression on his face and smiled freely. “We can’t get rid of it. When I probed it before, you also saw that although it is huge in size, it moves like the wind and is extremely fast. If it were just me alone, there might be a chance to get rid of it. But for the two of you, there is absolutely no possibility！”

This is not Yang Kai looking down on them, but telling the truth. Because even if Yang Kai himself uses all his strength and with the acceleration of the Wind and Thunder Wings, there is only a small chance to break through the puppet’s blockade. Before, when he was testing the opponent’s ability, he tried many times to bypass it and rush towards that round door, but every time he was forced back by the opponent.

This puppet seems to have great hostility towards any living thing that wants to pass through the round door and will kill without mercy！

Hearing Yang Kai say this, Du Sisi’s pretty face changed, and she immediately shouted, “You can’t leave us alone！”

She instinctively thought that Yang Kai meant to leave alone.

Cai He forced a smile and said, “Sisi, you’re thinking too much. Brother Yang won’t do that.”

These words were both comforting Du Sisi and comforting himself, while quietly sizing up Yang Kai’s reaction. He was also a little worried that Yang Kai would do so.

However, Yang Kai didn’t make much defense. To be honest, if he could really break through the puppet’s blockade before, he would indeed have left alone. However, he didn’t mean to leave the two of them alone. If he could leave, he would go to find Fei Zhitu and others to rescue them. After all, one person’s escape is always better than three people being trapped here with no hope of survival.

Now hearing Cai He’s probing like this, he didn’t mean to explain more either, but just said, “If we want to leave now, we can only work together. Youdaoplaceholder0 on me alone to deal with it, I’m a bit insufficient to protect myself and not a match at all.

Cai He nodded repeatedly： “Brother Yang is right, but you just said that you can’t get rid of it, so what should we do? I see that it seems to be guarding the exit all the time and won’t leave too far.”

This point, Yang Kai had also probed out before. Once he approached the range of ten zhang from the exit the puppet would immediately move. But if he left that range, it would be like a dead thing without any reaction.

Hearing Cai He’s question like this, Yang Kai smiled mysteriously： “Naturally, kill it！”

“Kill it…” Cai He was dumbfounded.

Du Sisi was also straightforward： “Are you stupid…”

Before she could finish her words, she saw Yang Kai looking over coldly. Her heart skipped a beat and she swallowed the second half of her words, looking rather embarrassed. However, her expression clearly showed that she thought Yang Kai’s proposal was very unreliable.

“Since I said so, naturally I have some confidence.” Yang Kai knew that if he didn’t make it clear, these two people would never cooperate with him. The great power of that giant puppet, the scene of it killing the old woman, had already left a shadow in their hearts, and they simply didn’t have the courage to fight against it.

“First, let’s talk about its shortcomings. This puppet is guarding that round door. Regardless of what secrets are hidden behind the round door, it’s actually worth it for it to stay there without leaving an inch. But this point is exactly what we can take advantage of. Since both of you are array mages, you don’t need me to say much about what to do, right？” Yang Kai glanced at the two of them.

Cai He and Du Sisi thought for a while and both nodded slightly.

This huge shortcoming of the puppet could give them enough time to set up a large array. With the power of the array combined with Yang Kai, there might really be a little chance.

“Setting up the array is no problem, and we can set up an array that restricts the opponent’s speed. I see that although this puppet is invulnerable to water and fire and extremely strong, the most troublesome thing is its speed. If we can really slow down its speed, its advantage will be greatly reduced.” Cai He stroked his chin and said slowly.

“You can arrange such an array？” Yang Kai was overjoyed. It seemed that Cai He had the same idea as him. Puppets were different from living people. Although some arrays had great power, they had no effect on it. Yang Kai originally wanted Cai He and Du Sisi to arrange an array to restrain the opponent’s speed. Unexpectedly, in this regard, he happened to coincide with Cai He.

“This is not difficult. I have a set of array plates and array bases of the Mirror Lake Mud Dragon Array. Sisi should have a set of Drawing a Circle to Imprison the Ground Array in her hand, right？” Cai He looked at Du Sisi.

“Hmm.” Du Sisi nodded slightly, and was not surprised that the other party knew her background. After all, both the Cai family and the Du family were great families of arrays. It was normal for them to have some competition and spying on each other.

“How powerful are these two arrays？” Yang Kai asked hastily.

A hint of pride appeared on Cai He’s face： “The power is naturally not small. If the power of the array can be fully activated, even a strong person in the Void Return Third Layer Realm will be bound hand and foot if he falls into it.” Then his tone changed, and he said with a slight smile： “Unfortunately, Sisi and I don’t have high strength, and can only exert less than half of the power.”

“Less than half…” Yang Kai frowned slightly. Cai He looked at Yang Kai and shouted in a low voice： “Don’t worry, Brother Yang. I still have great confidence in these two arrays. I dare not say anything else, but it is absolutely possible to slow down the speed by one or two tenths！”

“One or two tenths is a little less, but this is the only way.” Yang Kai didn’t care either.

“But Brother Yang, even if Sisi and I cooperate with the formation to slow down its speed, how can we destroy such a puppet？”

“That’s right. When you probed it before, you didn’t hurt it at all！” Du Sisi also asked hastily. This matter was of great importance, and no one dared to be careless. Otherwise, if the cooperation failed once, the three of them might all fall here.”

Yang Kai smiled slightly： “Although I didn’t hurt it at all, at least I verified one thing.”

“What thing？”

“The reason why this puppet can act independently without anyone driving it is because there is a wisp of divided spirit in it！”

“Divided spirit？” Cai He and Du Sisi exclaimed in a low voice.

“That’s right. It can also be said to be a soul. When Lian Guang drove the puppet, did you observe it？” Yang Kai looked at the two of them and said seriously： “Lian Guang placed a wisp of his divided spirit on the puppet so that he could drive those puppets for his own use. Although this puppet looks much more advanced than Lian Guang’s, the principle should be similar. After all, a puppet is just a dead thing. To move, there must be the existence of something similar to a divided spirit！ And since this puppet has no one to drive it, there should be a wisp of soul sealed inside. I just don’t know what kind of creature’s soul it is.”

After listening to Yang Kai’s analysis, Cai He and Du Sisi both had a feeling of seeing the bright moon through the clouds. Previously, they were shocked by the might of the puppet and didn’t carefully consider this issue. Now, after hearing Yang Kai’s words, they immediately felt that it made a lot of sense.

“Brother Yang means…”

“I don’t need to destroy this puppet. I just need to find that strand of spirit and kill it, and the puppet will naturally stop moving.” A glint of fine light flashed in Yang Kai’s eyes.

Cai He’s eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, “So that’s how it is. In that case, this move is feasible!”

Compared to destroying such an impregnable puppet, killing a strand of spirit is obviously much, much less difficult.

“Do you know where that spirit is？” Du Sisi interjected and asked.

Yang Kai’s face darkened, and he slowly shook his head. “I’m not too sure yet. There are a few suspicious places so I need to use the strength of you two to hold back its speed. In this way, I will have a chance to carefully investigate these places and find out where the spirit is hiding.”
