Chapter 293: Thunder Blasts the Puppet, Wins the Iron Armor
Chapter 293: Thunder Blasts the Puppet, Wins the Iron Armor
“No no no!! Ah——————”
The puppet child's tender face was distorted by extreme fear. He watched helplessly as countless bolts of lightning struck down like angry dragons. His shrill screams instantly pierced the sky and echoed all around.
However, everything happened so fast that it didn't even have the chance to beg for mercy. It was directly blasted into powder in the dazzling lightning and dissipated into nothingness. Only the slight smell of burning remained in the air, indicating the thrilling scene just now.
"What about people?"
Chu Xuan had sharp hearing, and the scream was like an electric current in his ears, which instantly made his mind race.
Without giving it much thought, he made a prompt decision and quickly retracted his supernatural powers.
In an instant, the surrounding environment, which had just seemed like the end of the world with lightning, thunder and howling winds, returned to its former tranquility in an instant, as if suddenly waking up from a dream, as if nothing had happened.
However, when he hurried to the place where the sound came from, all he saw was a pile of charcoal and bits of wedding dress scattered there, like broken butterfly wings.
The charcoal was black and piled up in a mess, emitting a pungent smell, and there was no trace of human beings.
"Damn, did I just hit him too hard and kill him directly?"
Chu Xuan frowned, his eyes wandering over the pile of coke, thinking secretly in his heart, with a hint of doubt and regret in his tone.
"That's not right! This charcoal doesn't look like a person, it looks more like a toy."
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he seemed to have realized something. He shook his head slightly, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
Looking closely, one can see that the torn wedding dress is made of scarce materials and crudely made, and does not look like an ordinary wedding dress at all; looking at the charcoal, it has a dry texture and a hard grain, and does not have any characteristics of a burned human body. Instead, it looks exactly like burned wood.
"Forget it, there's no telling what evil spirit is causing this, let's just get out of here first!"
Chu Xuan pondered over it but couldn't find the answer, so he simply stopped worrying about it, sighed quietly, and was about to leave.
In this strange and ever-changing village, vampires and werewolves are rampant, and now the emergence of a mysterious puppet demon does not seem to be unimaginable.
Anyway, it has already been reduced to ashes. Clinging to it is futile and will only add to your troubles.
Because all the surrounding plants were turned into charcoal by the power of thunder, the source of the disturbing illusion that was originally hidden in it had disappeared. Therefore, Chu Xuan's journey forward was smooth and he was not disturbed by the illusion again.
After a while, I looked up and saw a house standing abruptly on the mountain, which was particularly eye-catching in this remote place.
"It's great to have someone to live with."
A hint of joy flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes, and he was as excited as if he had found an isolated island in the vast ocean.
At that moment, he quickened his pace and strode towards the house, hoping to find some help or clues.
inside the house.
"An, An An An Ji is dead, dead! Huhuhuhu!!! This person is too scary. I can only feel this from the Mother Goddess Miranda. It seems that this person should not be messed with! It's better to stay away from him."
A woman in mourning clothes was huddled in a corner of the room, her whole body shaking uncontrollably like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
Her face was as pale as paper due to extreme fear, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead, and she was gasping for breath. She looked as if it was not the doll that had just been struck to death by lightning, but herself.
She is one of the four nobles serving Miranda - Donna Benevento, who has the strange ability to control dolls and make people fall into illusions.
She had intended to use this trick to play a trick on the intruder, but she had never expected that Chu Xuan would be so tricky. Before he could actually step into the illusion, he directly released a storm of thunder, which seemed to have the power to destroy the world, destroying the entire cemetery along with the puppets she had carefully arranged, leaving no one alive.
Thinking back on it now, she still felt a lingering fear and secretly thanked herself for wisely choosing to use the puppet to perform the illusion. Otherwise, if she had done it herself, she would have probably turned into a pile of charcoal on the ground and her soul would have been scattered.
"Dong Dong Dong!!!"
Just when Donna was filled with panic and thinking about how to avoid this evil star, there was a sudden knock on the door, like a midnight death knell, which startled her body and made her tremble.
"Hello! Is anyone there?"
Immediately afterwards, Chu Xuan's gentle and polite voice came from outside the door.
The moment she heard the voice, Donna felt as if she was struck by lightning, her soul scared out of her mind, and she instinctively blurted out: "No, no one." The voice was sharp and trembling with fear, like the cry of a wounded bird.
"No one? How can we talk if no one is around?"
Chu Xuan, standing outside, was stunned by the contradictory response from inside the house. He was filled with confusion: Why is this villager so strange? He kept saying that there was no one, but then he responded. What was his intention?
"It's over, he's chasing us, what should we do, what should we do???"
As soon as Donna opened her mouth, she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag. She was immediately frightened and quickly reached out to cover her mouth tightly, as if she could hide herself in this way. She dared not make any sound and her whole body was shaking like a sieve.
"Um... Fellow countryman! I don't mean any harm, I just came here to ask for directions. Do you know where Donna's house is?"
Although Chu Xuan felt it was strange, he did not think much about it. He just thought that the villager was timid and wary.
At that moment, he lowered his voice, tried to make his tone sound gentle and soothing, and asked patiently.
In his opinion, it was just asking for directions, not a life-threatening matter, so he should not be rejected. He believed that she would give some advice.
"Ah!!! Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
When Donna heard this, she was like a frightened bird and let out a shrill scream, as if the end of the world had come.
In a panic, she rolled and crawled under the table, curled up into a ball like a wounded hedgehog, trying to protect herself in this way.
In her mind, this person had already come to her door and claimed that he had no ill intentions. He must be wanted to kill her. How terrifying!
She just wanted to drag him into the illusion to have some fun, but she never thought that she would offend this evil star?
"..."
Chu Xuan, who was outside the door, was speechless when he heard Donna's words.
What on earth was wrong with this person? He was just asking for directions, so how could he be considered a villain who wanted to kill her?
Could it be that he is suffering from paranoia?
Such unreasonable fear and resistance really made him confused.
Just when Chu Xuan was feeling helpless, a system prompt sounded in his mind!
[Ding Dong! Host's current location detected: Donna's Residence. Do you want to sign in?]
"Shit! So this is Donna's house!"
When Chu Xuan heard the system sign-in prompt, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of astonishment.
He searched for a long time and asked people everywhere. Finally, he found that this was the check-in place he was looking for.
Although he didn't know why this Donna was so afraid of him, he naturally wouldn't be polite when there was an opportunity to sign in.
At that moment, he clicked "Yes" without hesitation.
The system seemed to know his urgency, and then the sign-in reward prompt sound popped up again!
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. You will be rewarded with a chance to enter the lucky draw.]
In an instant, Chu Xuan's sign-in chance changed from 0 to 1.
Chu Xuan didn't waste any time and directly clicked on the lottery machine.
"Beep beep!!!"
Soon, the lottery machine that had used up one lottery chance seemed to be injected with life and began to spin slowly. At first, the speed was slow, but gradually, it became faster and faster, like a spinning top, which was dazzling.
“I don’t know what I’ll get this time!”
Chu Xuan stared at the rotating pointer intently, his heart full of anticipation, like a child waiting to unpack a mysterious gift.
As if sensing his anticipation, the pointer gradually slowed down, and soon came to a steady stop. The needle tip continued to enlarge, finally revealing a line of small words: Mark 3 Iron Armor Set.
Then, the system's clear and pleasant reward prompt sound rang again!
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a set of Iron Man armor. It has been sent to your storage space, please check it carefully.]
