Chapter 555 Changes in the Jade-Bone Bracelet
“Boom!”
Ding Hao landed on the ground, stirring up a gust of wind.
Looking at the surrounding buildings carefully, he felt that he seemed to have walked into the primeval forest like an ant.
Looking up, he saw pieces of sky divided by the surrounding buildings. What was even more surprising was that these square buildings gave him a feeling of skysc.r.a.pers from his previous life. The buildings had floors, stairs and part.i.tions. On both sides of the road under his feet, there were really something like sidewalks and a sewage system that could be accessed through round manhole covers.
“Why do I feel like I’m in a modern city?”
Ding Hao had a strange feeling.
Suddenly…
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, Ren Xiaoyao was heard crying and screaming. Then he came running up and down.
“A monster, a big monster…” The little fatty was terrified.
Before his voice had died away—
A four or five meters tall giant walked out from behind the building next to them.
The monster had one eye. It was as scarlet red as blood. The whole body was composed of pale yellow rocks, like a moving stone statue. The rock debris kept falling from all over its body, and its joints were covered with dust and sand, as if it had just woken up. With a s.h.i.+eld in one hand and a stone sword in the other, it walked over step by step.
“That is… a Puppet of War made with Inscriptions? No, it’s a Puppet of War of the Fake G.o.d characters!”
Ding Hao saw a strange whirlpool character flas.h.i.+ng and glowing faintly in the Rock Giant’s chest, like a ma.s.s of flowing blood. He could clearly feel that the power out of its whole body was provided by the Fake G.o.d’s character vortex.
Seeing Ding Hao and the others, the Giant Rock Puppet let out an obscure roar and then ran toward them.
A glaring red light flickered in its eye.
“Be careful.” Ding Hao pushed Ren Xiaoyao aside, and he also made dodging maneuvers.
In the next moment—
“Boom!”
A scarlet red sword light shot out from the Giant Rock Puppet’s eye, striking the place with a destructive aura where several people were standing.
“What a strong destructive force!” Ding Hao was shocked. The red sword light was almost equivalent to a full blow from an master at the peak of the Martial King Realm.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
The stone sword in the Giant Rock Puppet’s hand chopped down.
At that moment Ding Hao did not dodge it. He wanted to test the Giant Rock Puppet’s most powerful combat strength. With a punch, he struck at the stone sword.
“Boom!”
A thunderous sound of the explosion was heard.
The Giant Rock Puppet was knocked back, cras.h.i.+ng into a building behind him and causing a cloud of smoke and dust.
The stone sword in his hand was also cracked.
Ding Hao was also shocked. He took a step back; a bleeding wound appeared on his fist.
He had used eighty percent of his strength in the punch. He had not expected to only shake the Puppet away while he himself got injured. The Puppet’s combat strength was not inferior to a master at the Peak of the Martial King Realm. Moreover, his body was made of extremely hard light yellow rocks, so even a precious weapon could not cause too much damage to him.
The guy was many times stronger than the Puppets of War in the outer-ring of the Highest Heaven City.
“Was he the guardian of the ancient city?” Ding Hao guessed, and then he fought against the Giant Rock Puppet who had rushed over again.
After more than ten seconds, the Puppet finally turned into a pile of rubble.
With Ding Hao’s strength, it would not be too difficult for him to defeat such a Giant Rock Puppet.
“It’s a pity that the Giant Rock Puppet doesn’t have wisdom. He only knows how to kill people and doesn’t differentiate between enemies and friends. Otherwise, he could be a guard for the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect if he was subdued. That could be a good choice. ” Ding Hao continued to move forward with Ji Yingqi and others, with a little regret in his heart.
“It won’t be difficult if you want to subdue such a Giant Rock Puppet. As long as you crack the characters of the Fake G.o.d and modify them a little bit, you may be able to take the Giant Rock Puppet for your own use,” the Saber Master suddenly said.
“Uh… Sister Sabre, you should have told me about it earlier.” Ding Hao suddenly regretted. He looked back and found that the Giant Rock Puppet had been crushed into gravel by him and it was impossible to restore it.
“Why worry? In such a huge Fake G.o.d city, there is definitely more than one guardian. Soon, we will meet other more powerful and superior Giant Rock Puppets…” The Saber Master said, curling her lips.
It turned out that the Saber Master also had the potential to have a crow’s mouth.
Just as her voice faded—
“Boom!”
From a side street came a running rumble, and then a Giant Rock Puppet, who was almost exactly the same as the previous one, waved his stone sword and s.h.i.+eld. With a kind of obscure voice, he immediately rushed over.
“He regards us as invaders…” The Sword Master seemed to have understood something.
Ding Hao stared at the Giant Rock Puppet and met him, laughing out.
That was an opportunity.
He had to find a way to catch him.
A moment later.
The Giant Rock Puppet struggled wildly in place, with a white rope wrapped around its body.
The rope was refined from tendons of the ancient mythical beast Zhuhuai in the first section of the ancient road to the west. It was extremely tough and flexible. Even a master at the Martial Emperor Realm would be unable to tear it. It was the most suitable tool to tie the Giant Rock Puppet.
“What should we do next?” Ding Hao dusted off his hands.
The Saber Master seemed to be discussing something with the Sword Master, so she answered casually, “I have already copied the Fake G.o.d Characters on his chest, and it will take a few days to crack them. Put it away first, then we can use it as a test subject.”
“How can I store such a big thing…” Ding Hao frowned, and he fixed his eyes on Evil Moon, the fat cat.
“Meow?” The hair on the Evil Moon’s back suddenly stood up on end. “Why are you looking at me? I can’t carry that big guy inside my delicate little body.”
Ding Hao smiled and said, “Aren’t you Doraemon? Just put it in your s.p.a.ce pocket.”
“What Doraemon? Putting that mess in my pocket…” Evil Moon complained. In the end, he had to follow Ding Hao’s instructions and stuffed the Giant Rock Puppet into his s.p.a.ce pocket, which contained thousands of strange things.
They moved on.
Soon Ding Hao discovered that Ren Xiaoyao was also a super idiot without a sense of direction.
If it weren’t for Ji Yingqi, the little girl with a terrifying intuition, they would have been lost in this maze-like Fake G.o.d City.
Along the way, they met with many more Giant Rock Puppets.
Ding Hao tied up another pair of Giant Rock Puppets as a backup for the experiment.
However, the Giant Rock Puppets were gradually getting bigger and stronger. In the end, Ding Hao could not contain them. He didn’t want to use the two trump cards, the rusted sword and the magic saber, so he could only carry Ji Yingqi on his back and escape with the little fatty…
“Oh no, we got lost!” Ding Hao found that he actually ran back to the original place after running for a while.
“I can’t run any longer… Tired… I’m so tired… let the stone man kill me…” said Ren Xiaoyao while wheezing and even sweating. He was out of breath with his tongue sticking out like a dead dog.
Behind him the rumbling noise was still heard.
More Giant Rock Puppets were chasing after them.
At that moment, Ji Yingqi couldn’t tell the direction, either. Ding Hao ran too fast before; Ji Yingqi didn’t even have time to remember the surrounding roads. At that time she felt faint on Ding Hao’s back.
They came to another intersection that they had pa.s.sed before.
A light yellow, Wordless Stone Tablet stood at the center of the intersection. It was about the height of a person with a rough surface. No one knew what it was used for.
Hundreds of Giant Rock Puppets rushed over from all directions and completely surrounded them.
“It seems that we have to fight to the end…” Ding Hao took out his rusted sword and held it in his hand.
He put down Ji Yingqi and set up a small inscription formation to protect her. Just as he was about to fight again, an unexpected change suddenly occurred—
Ding Hao’s fingers radiated with a green light.
He had once experienced a burning sensation on the two rough stone doors at the end of the black corridor and once again he had such feeling in his hands.
Before Ding Hao could react, a green light cl.u.s.ter emerged from the storage ring and floated in front of him.
“This is… that bone bracelet? That ivory bone bracelet given secretly by Uncle Chen, the servant of the supervisor, Ding Honglei before he left the Snow Province? Why did the bracelet suddenly take the initiative to break the inhibition of the storage ring to get out?”
Ding Hao was shocked.
The bone bracelet emitted a green light, as if it were alive. The green light was shot to the Stone Tablet in the center of the intersection, producing a strange change.
A series of jade-green horizontal and vertical lines suddenly appeared on the surface of the originally crude Wordless Stone Tablet. The lines continued to spread and intertwine. In the end, almost all of the surface of the Stone Tablet was covered by these green lines and the surface was divided into countless small square pieces. The thumb-sized green light spots would appear at the place where the lines were connected, like a flash of light.
Ding Hao and the others were all attracted by this unexpected change.
At the moment, the countless Giant Rock Puppets who had surrounded him from a distance seemed to have suddenly lost their target and became quiet. The characters of the False G.o.d in their chests dimmed and they once again turned into statues, standing silently and motionlessly.
“What’s going on?”
Ding Hao felt extremely shocked.
The bone bracelet was something his Uncle Chen gave him, following Ding Honglei’s instructions. Although it was a little mysterious, he had never expected for it to be connected to the Fake G.o.d City in the mysterious ruins.
Although Ding Honglei was honorable, after all, he was just a supervisor of a small province like the Snow Province. Logically speaking, he was not a super important person in the entire Northern Region… why did he have such a bone bracelet that could cause changes of the Wordless Stone Tablet and give an indication to nearly one hundred Giant Rock Puppets?
Why did Ding Hongjie give him this bone bracelet?
Did she know the role of the bone bracelet? Was everything intentional or not?
