Chapter 209 [208] Powerful Hidden Soul Secret Puppet, Crisis of the Betrayer

In the past.

When Cheng Han wanted to create a Dark Spirit Secret Puppet, he first needed to observe the target.

Whether using birds or the Netherworld, only by directly “seeing” with his eyes could he imprint the Secret Puppet mark into the target's soul and turn them into a puppet.

But now.

The “Hidden Soul Secret Puppet” technique, derived from a divine object, possesses more powerful and hidden methods.

At this moment.

Zhang Laoshi, one of the Netherworld's members, suddenly appeared in the neighboring Fu'an neighborhood.

He listened intently for a moment, heard no abnormal sounds, and muttered softly, "Fu'an neighborhood is a large residential area with over three thousand residents, could it be that no snake monsters have appeared?"

Zhang Laoshi shook his head: "Let's use the Secret Puppet technique to verify it."

He bent his right index finger and lightly tapped the thick-backed blade.

"Ding!"

This sound was extremely strange, as if it were a real sound, yet also like a mere illusion.

In the transcendent vision invisible to the naked eye, an extremely dark transcendent power swept across, surging in all directions like a tide.

The Hidden Soul Secret Puppet possessed the characteristic of “Secret”, and also the characteristic of “Hidden”, making its concealment far superior to the Dark Spirit Secret Puppet.

Although Zhang Laoshi was only an avatar, with less than ten percent of the main body's power, even ordinary Profound Masters would find it difficult to sense.

After a breath.

Invisible Secret Puppet threads appeared out of thin air.

The total number reached an astonishing six hundred, each thread connecting Zhang Laoshi's soul at one end, and a puppet at the other.

Creating hundreds of Secret Puppets at once showed how powerful the Hidden Soul Secret Puppet was.

And this was only the Netherworld taking action.

If Cheng Han personally cast the secret art, exceeding three thousand would not be difficult.

The previous deduction by the All-Knowing Eye borrowed the method of the 'Whispers of the Gods' to invade the mind, and then leveraged the knowledge of the three divine objects to create this puppet technique.

Zhang Laoshi smiled with satisfaction: "Without needing to see the target, merely using sound waves to transmit the Secret Puppet power, I can create Secret Puppets even hundreds of meters away.

"This kind of method is more than twice as powerful!"

He quickly checked the Secret Puppet threads and shook his head: "No snake monsters."

Zhang Laoshi's mind flickered, and all the Secret Puppet threads snapped.

Maintaining each Secret Puppet thread consumed mental energy at all times, and maintaining hundreds of Secret Puppet threads for a long time placed too high a demand on mental energy.

The Netherworld was merely an avatar and simply could not bear it.

With Cheng Han's strength, he could only sustain a little over a thousand threads for a long time.

Zhang Laoshi performed another Netherworld Light Leap, appearing in another location in Fu'an neighborhood.

"Ding!"

He tapped the thick-backed blade again.

The dark fluctuations spread across the area once more.

Over five hundred Secret Puppet threads rapidly emerged.

Only a moment later.

One of the threads actually broke automatically.

Zhang Laoshi was not surprised but delighted: "There really is a snake monster!"

The snake monster was a monster spawned by the Sin and Life Serpent. Its soul was entwined with the power of sin, so it naturally had the ability to resist the erosion of the Secret Puppet threads.

This was the Netherworld's method of searching for monsters.

Simple.

But surprisingly efficient.

And before the Secret Puppet thread was broken, Zhang Laoshi had already obtained a great deal of information.

Including the location of the snake monster.

This thing was hiding inside a house. Although it was a monster, it was quite cautious and did not rashly go out to kill people.

Also including the target's appearance.

Compared to the monster transformed from the veteran inspector Wu Lun, this monster was even more terrifying. Its appearance was completely unlike a human. The skull had undergone a major deformation, looking like a snake's head.

It crawled on the ground with its limbs, its long snake tail swinging back and forth.

This was clearly a four-legged snake monster!

The monster stared at a middle-aged woman on the bed next to it with a pair of cold, vertical pupils, filled with a strong desire to feed.

Zhang Laoshi wore a compassionate expression and couldn't help but sigh: "Poor sentient beings, merely playthings of the alien gods."

Before the alien god's words descended, this was a couple, but now they had become a monster and prey.

A tragedy in the human world, nothing more than this.

On the other side.

The woman seemed to sense the danger from the soul level and suddenly woke up.

She reached out and touched the side of the bed, not feeling her husband's body, and called out in a trembling voice, "Hong Tao, I feel something is wrong, where are you?"

Responding to her was a strange "hissing" sound.

The woman felt even more fear in her heart.

She mustered her courage, got out of bed, and felt for the flint to strike it.

"Snap!"

A few sparks popped out.

The oil lamp was instantly lit.

The blooming light illuminated the small bedroom.

"Hiss～"

The strange sound became louder.

The woman instinctively looked back.

In that instant.

The corner of her eye caught a glimpse of a hideous snake head.

Compared to its birth, a horn had grown on its forehead.

"Ah～"

The woman screamed in horror.

"Hiss～"

The snake monster flicked its forked tongue and pounced straight over.

Its vertical pupils flashed with excitement.

It liked the prey's fear, and even more so, it liked to enjoy the fear while feeding.

Just then.

A cloud of black mist surged out of nowhere.

The oil lamp was suppressed by some force and dimmed to the extreme.

The woman curled up her body, trembling all over.

She heard a strange sound, like the sound of a knife cutting meat.

"Bang!"

This was a muffled collision.

It rang several times in a row.

The floor also trembled slightly, showing how strong the force was.

Mixed in with it was the monster's "hissing" sound.

From it, the woman heard a hint of pain, and her nose also smelled an extremely strong smell of blood.

A second later.

A man's voice suddenly rang out: "Don't be afraid!"

It was Zhang Laoshi.

He used the Netherworld Light Leap, appeared in the room, and timely stopped the snake monster from eating people.

Along with this sound, the oil lamp lit up again, and the dim yellow light filled the room.

The woman mustered her courage and glanced over, immediately scared half to death.

A man with blurred features, carrying a bloody thick-backed blade, stood in the corner of the room.

That terrible monster was actually dismembered into eight pieces, the snake head nailed to the wall, the two vertical pupils poked out, and the forked snake tongue drooped down.

The ground and walls were splattered with a lot of blood, like a flesh and blood slaughterhouse.

This scene looked extremely bloody.

Zhang Laoshi grinned and comforted, "You are safe now."

He deliberately used transcendent power to distort his height and body shape, changed his voice and face, and was not worried about being recognized.

The woman glanced at the blood-stained bed and asked tremblingly, "Sir, where did my husband go?"

Zhang Laoshi was silent.

The woman looked at the closed door and suddenly realized, her tone filled with crying: "Did the monster turn from my husband?"

Zhang Laoshi sighed and told the truth: "Yes, your husband was unfortunately polluted by an alien god."

There was no need to hide this. When the patrol department intervened, she would know the truth sooner or later.

The woman burst into tears.

Zhang Laoshi sighed secretly, left a sentence "You should call the police quickly", and disappeared.

One kilometer away.

Zhang Laoshi reappeared.

He raised his arm and looked at it, nodding lightly with satisfaction: "The 'Secret Snake Body's' defense is stronger than I imagined."

There were two obvious bite marks left on this arm, and the skin was also bitten out with two rows of needle-sized holes, but no blood seeped out.

In the previous fight, in order to test the defense of the Secret Snake Body, Zhang Laoshi deliberately used his arm to block the snake monster's pounce and bite.

The result was very ideal.

The tiny scales under the skin had a defense comparable to steel.

The arm also showed a flexibility that violated the limits of human physiology, effortlessly pulling out of the snake's mouth, only bearing less than 30% of the bite force.

This ability "plagiarized" from the alien god easily resisted the snake monster's attack.

Zhang Laoshi reviewed this battle and summarized a rule: "The power of sin in the snake monster's body seems to use negative emotions as nourishment, the more afraid the woman is, the stronger the snake monster's combat power becomes."

He was thoughtful: "Is this the essence of the power of sin? No wonder the Sin and Life Serpent would create so many snake monsters through the words of the gods."

He didn't quite understand the alien god's purpose before, but now he completely understood.

Without a doubt.

The Sin and Life Serpent's purpose was definitely to spread fear on a large scale, in order to nourish the divine body and try to wake up as soon as possible.

The alien god did things with a very strong purpose, and would not mess around for no reason.

*

Qinglin City.

When the sudden words of the alien god spread throughout this world.

Cai Feng, the betrayer predetermined by the script, naturally heard the whispers of the gods by relying on the ability of the Dream Master.

He knelt on a rug and recited earnestly: "Life is sin! All life is born of sin, and will bear sin, and will eventually die in sin!"

This was the Dream Life Society's prayer.

In the past, Cai Feng would be extremely devout when he prayed.

Now, after experiencing a crisis of trust and unexpectedly obtaining a powerful transcendent spirit vine, he was no longer as devout as before.

Cai Feng stood up and quickly walked into a compartment.

Inside were two beds, each with a commoner lying on it.

They were the candidates that Cai Feng had selected in advance according to the requirements, that is, people whose minds were distorted and easily polluted by the power of sin.

At this moment.

These two people had both undergone snake monster mutations, growing black scales all over their bodies, and a long snake tail behind them.

Although Cai Feng had already known all this, he was still terrified.

He quietly took a step back, reached out and rubbed the spirit vine, and the fear in his heart lessened a bit.

After a few breaths.

The two snake monsters completed their transformation.

They turned their snake heads together, and two pairs of strange vertical pupils stared fixedly at Cai Feng, clearly revealing the desire to feed.

Cai Feng quickly activated the Dream Master rune and made a strange sound in his mouth: "Hiss... hiss..."

The two snake monsters obediently lowered their heads.

Cai Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Communicating and commanding snake monsters was an ability possessed by every Dream Master.

According to the orders issued by the Grand Dream Master, the Dream Master needed to secretly manipulate the snake monsters as much as possible to spread fear among the crowd and eliminate those who opposed the Dream Master Society.

Just then.

Cai Feng's eyes恍惚 for a moment.

He immediately understood that this was a summons from the Grand Dream Master.

Cai Feng looked at the snake monster and ordered, "Hiss..."

This was saying: Stay in the room honestly, don't sneak out.

The snake monster did not move.

Cai Feng returned to the bedroom, quickly lit the dream-entering spirit candle, and lay directly on the bed.

In the blink of an eye.

He entered a strange dream.

Cai Feng's heart "咯噔" suddenly, and a very bad feeling arose in his heart.

Because the dreams in which he met the Grand Dream Master in the past were all places with beautiful scenery, birdsong and fragrant flowers.

The dream environment at the moment was actually a dark and gloomy snake cave, with countless snakes of all sizes swimming around.

Subsequently.

A group of shadows appeared not far away.

The Grand Dream Master's familiar voice came from it: "Dream Eighteen, you have come."

Cai Feng asked respectfully: "Grand Dream Master, greetings to you."

But he became more vigilant in his heart.

In previous meetings, the Grand Dream Master would show his face, although it was just a disguised face, but this time even his figure was hidden.

This was obviously not right.

The Grand Dream Master was silent for a moment before slowly saying: "Dream Eleven is dead."

Cai Feng was stunned for a moment, and said with regret: "This is really an unfortunate message."

The Grand Dream Master's tone changed subtly: "The location where Dream Eleven died was the community you are responsible for."

Cai Feng instantly thought of the two snake monsters in the compartment, and an extremely strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.

The Grand Dream Master probably could remotely control the snake monsters. This bastard probably wanted to take advantage of his entry into the dream to order the snake monsters to kill him!

This old dog is too damn insidious!
