Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 65 The Power of One Team!
On the battlefield.

Tang Wanqing looked at the two armored war bears in surprise as they blocked the Spirit Spider King for her.

Then they saw three more dual-bladed lizards, their blades slashing fiercely and relentlessly suppressing the scythe-wielding mantis.

Although it is unknown where this foreign aid came from.

But she didn't have time to think about it.

With the help of these puppets, he moved like a willow catkin and escaped a certain distance.

He put the gun back into his bag and took out a silver moon longbow instead.

The bow was drawn to its fullest extent, using the strength of a physical cultivator; an arrow formed from spiritual energy suddenly materialized, using the magic of a magical cultivator.

The arrow was released and struck the Spider King's enormous, disgusting head.

The Spider King, whose head was pierced by the spirit arrow, was still alive. It frantically shot out poisonous silk, binding the upper bodies of the two war bears tightly.

However, the venom on the spider silk did not harm the armored war bears in the slightest. Although their upper bodies were trapped, the two war bears still obeyed their master's orders and kicked the Spirit Spider King with their legs.

With a loud crack, the Spider King lashed out with its tail, tearing off the upper body of the rather thin war bear with its silk.

Just then, another spirit arrow struck, causing it to become even more agitated.

"Bear Big is gone, so you guys are to blame!"

Su Qing quickly treated Sun Yan's wounds to prevent her from losing too much blood and energy while waiting for him to refine the Spirit Lotus Leg.

"Sister Qing has plenty of spirit crystals now, so don't worry, she won't renege on her debt!"

Sun Yan grumbled, saying that Su Qing was not a professional spiritual healer after all. The skills she learned from Guo Qiaolian could only roughly suture wounds at most, and she couldn't make the patient more comfortable.

Su Qing glanced at Sun Yan and smiled:

"Since she has so many spirit crystals, why didn't she buy you a few puppets? Not to mention anything else, if she had gotten a couple of armored war bears or tiger generals, things wouldn't have been so dangerous just now!"

"Do you think we didn't have any? We did have some puppets to assist in combat before, you know? We just lost them all!"

Sun Yan's face turned deathly pale, but she still couldn't bear to hear anyone talk about Tang Wanqing, even though Su Qing had just saved her.

"Fine, just lie still. You don't even have legs anymore, do you still want to jump up and hit me?"

Su Qing helplessly held down the somewhat agitated Sun Yan, then switched to Hummingbird vision to check the surroundings and the battlefield situation.

This place is only three miles from the battlefield, which is the longest distance he can control the puppets.

The distance to the forward camp was about seven or eight miles, a distance from which he was certain he could return safely no matter what happened.

With the Explosive War Bear and the Swarm of Hummingbirds still lying in his storage bag, he didn't think he was at great risk standing there.

Nevertheless, he still released the two defensive magical artifacts he had prepared earlier.

One is a white jade bowl, a mid-grade first-level magic artifact, crystal clear like jade, with a waterfall and clear spring engraved on it, making it exceptionally elegant.

Once activated, it flew into the air, with streams of water dripping from the rim of the bowl, enveloping the person completely. Helian Xian confidently guaranteed that this white jade bowl could block any Daoist technique below the upper-grade Yellow level.

The second item is a pale yellow jade pendant worn on the chest, called the Peace Pendant. As long as it is worn, it can protect the owner from one fatal attack. Of course, this is limited to Taoist techniques below the Xuan level.

Better safe than sorry, Su Qing didn't think she was being overly cautious.

Because this was his first time experiencing combat.

Although it was remotely commanded from three miles away.

But that's just how puppeteers fight.

Puppets are extensions of their limbs, a manifestation of their cultivation, and proof of their wealth.

Without a doubt, Su Qing, participating in battle for the first time, performed exceptionally well.

The moment the Ironclad War Bear entered the battlefield, it took the initiative and used the Crimson Moon Demon Light to kill a Scythe Mantis from a distance.

The lizard warriors faced the little spiders, their claws, teeth, and long tails—their instinctive lizard fighting skills were enough for each of them to take on four or five little spiders.

What's even more thoughtful is that these highly intelligent creatures always follow their master's orders during battle, making escorting the female cultivators to break through the encirclement their first priority.

They are not fond of fighting, are not afraid of fighting, are loyal and reliable, and are cheap to operate. There is no better subordinate than them. The dual-wielding lizard is even more formidable, slashing with both blades in rapid succession, even though it uses the most basic yellow-level combat skills.

However, combined with the power of the weapon and the puppet's fearlessness of death, it can not only act as the vanguard in the swarm of spirit spiders, cutting through everything in its path, but also, with the three working together in perfect harmony, make the scythe-wielding mantis suffer terribly.

Xiong Da's performance was mediocre; his only highlight was the red moonlight he created with Xiong Er when they entered the arena.

When facing the Spirit Spider King, its relatively clumsy attack methods posed no threat to a first-tier demon king. It could only rely on its size to withstand the Spirit Spider King's attacks, but it was not very durable and was torn apart in a few blows.

Su Qing shook his head repeatedly at this. The Xiong Da he bought was poorly equipped and its fighting ability was far inferior to that of Xiong Er, which he had created himself.

In contrast, Xiong Er, fully armored, stood out the most.

Thanks to the armor made from over five thousand catties of black iron essence, the Spirit Spider King remained unmoved no matter whether it tried to pull it with its silk or slice it horizontally with its legs.

It could even use power similar to that of the Spider King to hold it firmly in place, giving Tang Wanqing space to deal damage from a distance.

"If it were just me, the output could be handled by the swarm of hummingbirds?"

"No, the Explosive Hammer Bear, together with Big Bear and Little Bear, should be able to take down this Spider King?"

Su Qing secretly assessed her current strength and was shocked to discover...

If he were to unleash all his power and release all his puppets, he could almost annihilate this group of demonic beasts that were driving the Bear King's team to the brink of destruction!

"The strength of a team! I now possess the strength of one of the four major teams in the hunting grounds, and I might even be able to defeat them?"

He nodded in satisfaction. By this point, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

As Tang Wanqing fired her third spiritual energy arrow, the first-tier demon king, the Spirit Spider King, died instantly from a headshot.

On the other side, although the scythe-wielding mantis used its forelegs to treacherously and cunningly, the double-sword lizard was agile and clever. With one lizard in front and the other two circling around to slash from behind, it finished off the monster a step faster than Tang Wanqing and Xiong Er.

As for the female cultivators, they had long been escorted to Su Qing's side by two dual-blade lizards and other lizard warriors.

Tang Wanqing glanced at Xiong Er, who was moving the corpse of the Spirit Spider King, and several puppets that would come to move the corpses of other monsters.

Qiang Zhen, exhausted, fled in the direction the female cultivators had gone.

In her view, it would take several puppeteers working together to command so many puppets in battle.

The forces that possess several puppeteers are far beyond what the Bear King Team can compare to.

Having spent so long navigating the lower rungs of society, Tang Wanqing knew that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Since this force has rescued them, who knows how much they will have to pay in the future.

Of course, since it is a life-saving grace, any price is worth paying.

As Tang Wanqing's thoughts raced and a sense of worry crept into her heart.

She gradually got a clearer look at Su Qing, who was surrounded by female cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist, don't touch it! The fire egg really bites!"

"I told you not to touch the fire egg, not to touch me! I can bite too!"

"Yeah, I've been eating better lately, I'm stronger than before, how about it? Feels pretty good, right? Ugh, why am I telling you this! Get your hands off me!"

"Fellow Daoist Sun is fine. Once we return to the front-line camp, I promise to give her a new pair of long legs, even longer than her original ones!"

"Ah, not only does it have to be long, but it also has to be white, and smooth to the touch? That's a bit too much for me!"

When they encountered acquaintances, the female cultivators were fiery and enthusiastic. Since Su Qing had just saved them, they became even more passionate, making Su Qing flustered. He didn't want them to touch him indiscriminately, yet he also wanted to touch them indiscriminately.

Tang Wanqing smiled and slowly descended from mid-air.

Looking at Tang Wanqing, who was dressed in black and seemed more capable than usual, yet also seemed unchanged.

Su Qing then broke free from the entanglement of the group of female cultivators and cupped his hands in greeting from afar:

"Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Tang!"

"Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Su!"
