I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

When Nu Shi and Lu Qing also entered the range of the flower umbrella, Mu Yuntian had already walked out.

Mu Yuntian held up a sword and floated it above his head, creating a sword-shaped space that was not affected by any wind or sand.

Standing on Tao Yunwan's side, she could no longer see what was happening on Mu Yuntian's side with her naked eyes.

But Yuan Feng's spiritual sense was powerful, and he had already captured the movements of Mu Yuntian's group, and was moving forward cautiously step by step.

"Let's go, everyone, take out your life-saving magic weapons." Tao Yunwan urged while holding up an umbrella. "Although this secret realm is a heritage secret realm, it is not without life-threatening dangers. The secret realm has been opened several times before, and many people have died, but the heritage has never been taken away, which shows how dangerous this secret realm is."

"Ah."

"Ah."

Nu Shi and Lu Qing hummed at the same time, one took out a blood-red knife, and the other took out a few yellow talismans and stuck them on himself.

Only Yuan Feng did not take any action. His greatest means of attack was his fists, and his means of survival was Shadow Escape. He had no magical weapons of his own.

The only magic weapon is the pair of boots on his feet, which helps him run fast.

Tao Yunwan secretly glanced at Yuan Feng and said nothing, but a hint of imperceptible disappointment flashed in her eyes.

The four of them got ready and set off at the same time.

After walking for a while, the wind and sand became stronger.

Amid the whistling wind, a few rustling sounds could be heard, as if something was moving in the sand.

The strange sound came from left to right, perhaps at a very fast speed, or there might be more than one.

Either way, it's not good news.

Tao Yunwan frowned slightly: "Stop for a moment."

The three of them, including Yuan Feng, stopped without hesitation, as they also heard the sound.

"Something is coming." Tao Yunwan controlled the mirror on her chest and scanned around, but found nothing.

Yuan Feng also quickly released his spiritual sense, and all he saw was a few patches of quicksand. He was sure that there was indeed something lurking around, but he was not sure what it was.

"Ah——!" Suddenly a wailing sound was heard.

"It's Mu Yuntian and the others!" Tao Yunwan exclaimed.

The wailing was extremely painful, and it was obvious that something had happened.

Yuan Feng's spiritual sense range is limited, and he can still see what's ahead, but Mu Yuntian is now intentionally keeping a distance and has left the range of Yuan Feng's spiritual sense.

Yuan Feng has no idea what happened over there.

"Brother Lu, it's your turn to take action now." Tao Yunwan suddenly said to Lu Qing.

"Okay, leave it to me." Lu Qing nodded and took out a paper man from the storage bag.

"Paper man?" Yuan Feng looked at Lu Qing in surprise, very curious.

Tao Yunwan saw Yuan Feng's curiosity and explained, "This paper figure is the unique skill of the Divine Talisman Sect. With just a piece of paper and a talisman, a puppet can be created. Although it is not as strong as an iron puppet, it can walk and jump, and is more than enough to be used as bait for decoys."

After Tao Yunwan finished her introduction, Lu Qing curled his lips and said, "It's not as strong as the iron puppet. That's because I'm not good enough. If I were good enough, the paper puppet would be invulnerable to swords and guns."

As he spoke, Lu Qing took out a talisman and stuck it on the paper man's head.

A magical scene appeared. The paper man stood up staggeringly, and after swaying a few steps, his steps were no different from those of a normal person. If it were covered with a cloak to cover its face, people would believe it was a living person.

"go with!"

Lu Qing pointed forward, and the paper man immediately ran into the wind and sand, disappearing from everyone's sight.

At the same time, Lu Qing also pasted a talisman on his head, and his eyes glowed yellow.

"Sharing vision!" Tao Yunwan exclaimed, "The Divine Talisman Sect's methods are indeed magical."

When Lu Qing was praised by the beautiful woman, he felt a little flattered and the corners of his mouth curled up.

But after a short while of feeling proud, his face suddenly changed and his body trembled with fear.

"What's wrong?" Tao Yunwan stepped forward and asked with concern.

"My paper puppet is gone!" Lu Qing's face turned pale.

"No more? Why not?"

"I don't know." Lu Qing seemed deflated.

The most terrifying thing is not knowing. He controlled the paper puppet to move forward, and before he even saw what happened, the paper puppet disappeared.

"Even Brother Lu, who has vision sharing, couldn't see what happened. It seems that this thing is quite tricky. Everyone, please be very alert. I will ask my master for advice. Please protect me."

Nu Shi nodded, tightly grasped the knife in his hand, and moved closer to her.

Then Tao Yunwan's eyes rolled back and she entered a mysterious state.

Lu Qing on the side was also not idle. He scattered a few talismans into the yellow sand, and no one knew what their effect was.

Yuan Feng doesn't have many tricks, and he does what he can. His spiritual awareness has grown to the point where he can clearly see the situation within a three-meter radius around him.

Although you can't see clearly beyond three meters, you can get a rough idea of ​​what's going on, even if it's vague, so it's still good for early warning.

The rustling sound became louder and more frequent, and a tense atmosphere spread among the crowd.

The tension was exacerbated by the sounds of fighting and wailing coming from afar.

Outside the secret realm.

The light screen projected by the Dao Mirror only had images but no sound. The sect leaders headed by Chu Buxu had no idea that their disciples were in danger and were still gloating over their misfortune.

"Oh, oh, oh, this kid from the Divine Talisman Sect sent out a paper puppet, but he hasn't come back for a long time. I'm afraid he has encountered some difficulties."

"That must be it. Sect Master He has already communicated with her apprentice. If there is no danger, she would not use the Dao Mirror to communicate. The use of the Dao Mirror does consume energy."

He Bixia paid no attention to the gossip and patiently warned Tao Yunwan several times before interrupting the conversation.

After all, this Dao Mirror was lent to Tao Yunwan by her. Tao Yunwan had just started to practice Qi and could not master it yet. After saying a few words, he almost drained all the spiritual energy out of Tao Yunwan's body.

After the communication was interrupted, Tao Yunwan turned pale and quickly took out a few Qi-boosting pills and swallowed them.

"How is it?" Lu Qing asked immediately.

"My master has no clue either. He just asked me to try and get more information. Brother Nushi, I'm afraid I need you to take action. Use your Blood Alliance's Red Blood Tracking Method to see if you can track down something."

Seeing the visible hesitation, Tao Yunwan quickly advised:

“Brother Nushi, don’t be reluctant. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Now we don’t know much about that thing. If we lose the initiative when we fight, we will be at a disadvantage. I’m afraid we will be in danger then.”

“Okay.” Nushi finally nodded. “If I use my Red Blood Tracking Technique for ten breaths without seeing any blood, there will be a backlash. I don’t think I can take down that thing in such a short time. I will be weak for a while, so you can’t abandon me.”

"Don't worry. Now we are all in the same boat. We will prosper together and suffer together. I will definitely not abandon Brother Nu Shi." Tao Yunwan assured.

Yuan Feng and Lu Qing also nodded in agreement.

After getting the guarantee, he angrily picked up the knife and cut his palm.

Yuan Feng watched from the side with a gritted teeth, this must be very painful.

But Nu Shi remained expressionless, as if he felt nothing at all.

The bright red blood quickly flowed down the blade, but instead of falling onto the ground, it miraculously clung to the blade.

"Go!"

Nu Shi swung the knife, and the blood on it was thrown out, forming three streams and flying in three directions.

Soon, two clang sounds were heard, like knocking on an iron plate.

Nushi frowned: "It's not a living thing."

"It's not a living thing? Then what is it?" Tao Yunwan asked quickly.

"do not know."

The Red Blood Tracking Method of Fury can only find objects, but cannot transmit the images back. Knowing that it is not a living creature is already the limit.

"I think..." Lu Qing touched his chin, "I know what it is."

Everyone's attention was drawn to him.

"It should be a puppet."

After hearing this, Tao Yunwan suddenly realized: "Yes, after thousands and tens of thousands of years, the only things that can still move in the secret realm are the puppets and mechanisms."
