The original repairer

Chapter 324 Wushuang Mansion

After a while, he still hadn't figured out how to deal with the puppet guarding the gate of Wushuang Mansion. He couldn't help feeling anxious, but he knew that panicking would only make the situation worse.

Shi Chen looked at the beast-shaped puppet next to him. It was in the underwater palace and had been restricted by Shi Chen's reverse runes. At this time, the reverse runes in its body had not been removed, and it lay quietly on the ground.

How can I imprint runes on these two gatekeeper puppets? Single ones won't work, and multiple ones won't necessarily work either, as they'll destroy it or dodge it.

These two puppets are even more difficult to deal with than the puppets controlled by King Gongshui in the underwater palace!

I don't know how they were able to create such puppets. If I could control them, I would have to take them apart and study them...

Wait, break it up? Do you mean break them up, scatter...scatter them?

Yes, I get it, haha!

Shi Chen was thinking wildly and trying to break up the two players in front of the goal. Then he had an idea. While thinking about breaking them up, he thought of a way to restrain them.

I saw him carving runes with his hands one after another, and his spiritual power was evenly transferred through his fingers. He was very careful with every stroke, every horizontal stroke, and every vertical stroke.

A quarter of an hour later, he stopped carving with his fingers, and carefully controlled the rune that was flashing with light in front of him.

There are two goalkeepers, and one rune can attack less than two.

Shi Chen controlled the rune with one hand and began to draw the reverse rune with the other hand.

After three quarters of an hour, with sweat beading on his forehead, Shi Chen finally finished drawing the reverse rune.

The spiritual power was transferred to the beast-shaped puppet beside him, activating a reverse rune. With one hand, he used the spiritual power to activate another reverse rune, controlling the two runes at the same time and pushing them towards the left and right gatekeeper puppets.

Two runes flashing with spiritual light quickly rushed towards the gate-guarding puppet and came to a distance of ten feet.

"Stubborn! Kill!"

Choke! Swish!

call out!

The two gatekeeper puppets spoke at the same time, and moved quickly and in unison, drawing their swords and chopping the two flying reverse runes into pieces.

The two runes, which were originally as wide as a palm and one foot long, shattered in an instant and turned into dozens of small reverse runes the size of fingers, rushing towards the two puppets at an accelerated speed.

The two gatekeeper puppets didn't have time to react before dozens of small reverse runes were imprinted on their weapons, arms, bodies, and legs.

The aura of the weapons in the hands of the two gatekeeper puppets began to dim, and then the aura of their entire bodies also began to dim.

The originally fast speed has now become slow.

"Damn...damn...enemy attack! Alert...!..."

The voices of the two puppets gradually disappeared amidst the stuttering. The spiritual light of their bodies disappeared, and they stood upright in the same place, leaning on their weapons.

After putting the beast-shaped puppet back into the storage ring, Shi Chen came to the two gatekeeper puppets and examined them carefully.

Those small reverse runes printed on the puppets were found to have successfully interfered with the puppets' spiritual power transmission system.

These runes are like small locks that lock the key nodes where spiritual power flows in the puppets' bodies, causing their movements to become slow and their spiritual power to be unable to function normally.

Shi Chen was secretly delighted that this method really worked.

He began to think about how to completely control the two puppets, or obtain more information from them about refining and controlling puppets.

Half an hour passed without any clue, so Shi Chen had to give up. He had only learned the basics of puppet making, and was helpless against a puppet of this level.

He shook his head helplessly, feeling a little regretful that he couldn't control the two puppets, but he also knew that he couldn't stay here for too long.

His gaze returned to the gate of the mansion. The gate was still tightly closed. The protective formation had been shut down by Shi Chen, and the runes on the door had disappeared. He walked to the door, activated his spiritual power, and the gate slowly opened inward.

Passing through the gate and around the stone screen, you will see a huge courtyard in front of you. The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and each slab is engraved with exquisite spiritual patterns. The spiritual power flows between the patterns, as if telling the prosperity of the past.

There is a huge spirit pond on one side of the courtyard. The water in the spirit pond is of strange colors and emits a soft light.

There are some spiritual plants that have never been seen before growing in the spiritual pond. Their branches and leaves sway gently in the water, as if they are swinging to some mysterious rhythm.

Walking along the path in the courtyard, the corridor winds and twists like a giant, agile dragon entwined in the courtyard.

The pillars of the corridor are carved with exquisite patterns, including auspicious dragons and phoenixes, and auspicious beasts galloping. Each pattern is lifelike, as if it will come alive in the next moment.

Walking past the corridor, one comes to a emerald lake. The water is crystal clear, and the mansion is dimly lit, yet the various spirit crystals and gemstones at the bottom of the lake still reflect a colorful light.

To the left of the green lake is a large garden. In the spiritual consciousness, there are various fifth- and sixth-level spiritual flowers and herbs. In the world of cultivation, each one is a rare existence.

On the right side of the green lake is an elegant garden with five bamboo houses built with crystal bones and bamboo, surrounding a spiritual spring with a radius of three meters. It is rich in spiritual energy and is a good place for cultivation.

In the center of the lake is a small island, five meters square, with a hexagonal pavilion in the middle, all serene and emerald green. In the pavilion, four jade stools surround a jade table in the center, also serene and emerald green. The table, stools, and pavilion are connected as one, surprisingly made from a single piece of jade.

With his back to the arch at the end of the corridor, there seemed to be a woman sitting in the pavilion. Shi Chen was shocked. He didn't expect that there was someone in the pavilion.

He cautiously slowed his pace and slowly approached the island. As the distance shortened, the woman's figure gradually became clearer, but still a little hazy.

She was dressed in a turquoise robe, her sleeves fluttering gently in the windless air, as if blending in with the surrounding scenery. Her face was obscured by a thin layer of mist, revealing only a rough outline, yet she held an indescribable ethereal beauty.

Shi Chen came to the lake and stopped. He clasped his fists and bowed his head respectfully, saying, "I am Shi Chen, and I am sorry to intrude upon you. I wonder who you are, young lady?"

The woman in the pavilion did not speak, but turned slowly while sitting on the jade stool.

Shi Chen felt as if someone saw through his entire body. He looked up and saw that the face of the woman in green was hazy. No matter how hard he looked with his naked eyes, he couldn't see clearly. When he scanned with his spiritual sense, he also found that the perception was vague.

A moment later, the voice of the woman in green echoed like a clear spring: "I broke into the mansion, but didn't destroy anything or steal anything. The guards at the gate simply restrained me. In the past 100,000 years, you're the only one who has come here. What brings you here?"

Shi Chen was confused. It seemed that there was no one in the pavilion. Her sense and eyesight could not detect the truth. She did not introduce herself, so she felt troubled.

Shi Chen paused for a moment, clasped his fists and bowed again, saying respectfully, "Young lady, to be honest, I'm searching for a treasure to regenerate my spiritual roots. I didn't mean to offend you by searching all the way here. I hope you can understand."

The woman in green raised her hand slightly, as if gently fiddling with the air around her. Her movements were gentle and graceful.

After a moment, she slowly said, "Something to replenish your spiritual roots? If it were a hundred thousand years ago, there might be a chance to obtain it in the mansion. But now, there are no such spiritual items in the mansion."

When Shi Chen heard her answer, hope ignited in his heart. If it existed a hundred thousand years ago, it must exist now, but it is not here. Perhaps it is in this floating city.

"I wonder if the seniors can give me some advice. Where in this city can I get spiritual objects to replenish my spiritual roots?" Shi Chen asked hurriedly.
