Chapter 50: Raging Doll Group
There are piles of corpses like a hill in the corner of the cave. A faint rotten smell permeates the air. The clothing styles of the corpses are very different, and they are not from the same era at all.
Xu Yi frowned and stared at the corpses. These corpses gave him a very strange feeling.
"People disappear in this area from time to time. The state government once sent people to investigate, but nothing was found. Now it seems that it was Mary Xiao who did it." Hunter gradually calmed down and explained in a low voice.
The corpses were stacked in a strange way. Their backs were turned to them, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
Laura was a little curious and went over to turn one of the corpses over. Then she was startled and took a few steps back.
The corpse had a weird smile on its face, and the lower part of its mouth was sawed open and then reinstalled. The sockets are not human eyes, but glass beads.
"Is this...a doll? Mary Xiao is making dolls!" Hunter's voice was trembling.
Xu Yi finally understood why he felt strange. If they were just ordinary corpses, they would have rotted and become smelly. Some even turned into skeletons due to age.
But the corpse in front of him was so completely preserved that it turned out that Mary Xiao had already made it into a doll.
Xu Yi's expression suddenly changed, because he suddenly thought of a question. Since Mary Xiao can control puppets, what about these puppets?
"Hurry up!" Xu Yi urged urgently. He saw the fingers of one of the dolls moving.
Hunter and Laura also realized something was wrong, turned around and wanted to leave, but it was too late. The corpses that had been made into dolls stood up staggeringly, with the same weird smile on their faces. Staring at the three of them.
"There's one from behind too!" Hunter noticed the footsteps behind him and screamed.
Xu Yi looked around and realized that this was a trap and they were surrounded.
"Get ready to break out!" Xu Yi fixed the flashlight on his waist.
In such a dark underground space, if there is no light source, it will become very passive.
A puppet rushed toward them, Xu Yi kicked the puppet in the chest, and the puppet flew several meters away.
It wasn't that Xu Yi suddenly became extremely powerful, but that the doll was much lighter than a human being. It seems that Mary Xiao had hollowed out the corpse's internal organs and used unknown methods to keep the corpse incorruptible.
The combat effectiveness of these dolls is not strong, or even a bit weak, but there are so many of them that they are like a sea of people, and many of the dolls have sharp weapons in their hands.
A dense crowd of dolls came, and the three of them were like a small boat in a tsunami, which could be overturned at any time.
.........
Xu Yi saw that those annoying dolls had not chased him for the time being, so he leaned against the wall and took a rest.
As the saying goes, no matter how skilled you are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. Not only do these dolls carry sharp weapons, but they also fight in groups, which is simply shameless.
He is just a fighting master, not a hero who can shoot eighteen dragons with one palm.
He looked left and right, but still didn't find Hunter and Laura.
Facing the tidal wave of dolls, the three of them were instantly dispersed. When they ran away, they were a little panicked and couldn't take any care of the others.
There were dense footsteps at the end of the passage, and it was obvious that the doll was chasing after him.
"What a ghost!" Xu Yi cursed secretly, stood up, and prepared to continue running away.
There is nothing you can do if you don't run. The doll is not full of weaknesses like ordinary people. Even if it pierces the heart of the doll and digs out the opponent's eyes, it will not cause fatal injuries.
There is a "white mark" on Xu Yi's escape route, which is the trace of climbing magnesium powder.
This underground passage is complicated. In order to avoid finding the way back, they sprinkled climbing magnesium powder as they walked in. The tunnel was black and the white magnesium powder was very conspicuous.
Xu Yi was quite lucky, because he saw the opportunity early, and with his extraordinary skills, he was able to rush away from the puppet and return to this route.
Hunter and Laura are not so lucky. I am afraid they are like headless flies now, wandering around in this underground maze.
Xu Yi got up and continued to run away, when a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of the road. His body tensed up for a moment, thinking he was surrounded. When he saw clearly that there was only one puppet, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, are you falling behind too?" Xu Yi looked at the slow-moving puppet, who looked like a twilight old man. Suddenly his heart moved and he stepped forward to say hello.
He kept staring at the throat of the doll. There was a hole there, and through the gap, he could vaguely see a red device rotating inside.
The red device seemed to be broken. It stuck one after another when rotating, exactly like the action of the doll.
The doll responded "enthusiastically" to Xu Yi, holding the dagger, he stabbed Xu Yi in the waist.
"Brother, you are so polite. I don't even know how to thank you." Xu Yi dodged the dagger sideways, kicked the other person to the ground, and then took away the dagger.
"I think your throat seems to be broken. Let me repair it for you!" Xu Yi stabbed the puppet's throat with a dagger and cut the hole wider.
He reached into his throat and pulled out the red device.
It felt slimy to the touch, and Xu Yi finally knew what the crimson thing on the device was. It was a severed tongue that was still squirming.
Xu Yi quickly threw away the things in his hands and wiped them on his trousers with a look of disgust.
After the long red tongue wriggled for a few seconds, it began to decay rapidly. This thing seemed unable to leave the doll's body. The puppet was still struggling just now, but now it suddenly stopped moving and really turned into a corpse.
It turns out that this is the weakness of the doll! Xu Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
He kicked the puppet away from his feet.
The corpse should lie down properly instead of running around. If he helped the doll "repair" it into the appearance of a corpse, the other party would be very grateful to him.
Footsteps sounded, and the puppet group chased after them again. Xu Yi took out a large saber from his backpack. He was not going to hide anymore.
Being chased all the way, the clay figurine was very angry, let alone a human being!
Now that you know the opponent's weaknesses, you won't be able to fight.
He also thought about something, since the puppets can imprint the undead mantra, what about these puppets?
Looking at the more than a hundred dolls in front of him, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
As the crowd of puppets surged forward, Xu Yi hid in the darkness around the corner with a knife, waiting for the prey to arrive, and then the battle was about to break out.
Time passed by, and Xu Yi sat down on the ground, panting heavily, and his back was covered with sweat.
At his feet, the dolls were scattered on the ground. Their "death states" were all similar, with their throats cut open and the devices under their throats torn off.
Now that you know the weaknesses of these puppets, it will be much easier to deal with them. The tunnel is long and narrow, and as long as it is not surrounded, you can use kite flying to gradually disintegrate the puppet group.
"All your hard work is in vain!" Xu Yi kicked away the puppet next to him, somewhat angrily.
The device under the throat is the core of the doll. After it is destroyed, the doll cannot move, but it will soon rot and become smelly.
As a result, his plan to use these dolls to practice the necromancy spells went bankrupt.
There were footsteps from the other end of the passage. Xu Yi scratched his head, a little irritated. Why are these dolls endless?
Just as he was about to get up, Hunter's figure flashed past, and he sat back down again.
The new group of puppets were attracted by Hunter. It seemed that they could handle it. He was too tired now and didn't really want to move.
"Come and help!" Hunter spotted Xu Yi around the corner with excitement on his face.
"Come right away! Just hold on for a while!" Xu Yi muttered softly.
Regardless of whether Hunter heard it or not, he took out a few pieces of chocolate and a bottle of water from his backpack and started eating on his own.
The strenuous exercise had consumed too much of his energy, and he was now a little hungry.
