Chapter 386 - Substitute Puppet

Fire attribute territory.

Under the long-range attacks of the Land of Origin team, the monsters in front of them kept falling.

However, there were too many monsters. The monsters behind them kept coming up, stepping on the corpses in front of them and charging forward.

Not long after, some monsters rushed to the front and engaged members of the Land of Origin team in a melee fight.

Close combat was unavoidable in the end.

However, members of the Land of Origin team had long been prepared. The members who were good at close combat had long stood at the front to protect the rest of the members at the back.

As soon as the monsters charged up, the members at the front followed Liu Yan’s orders and maintained their battle formation.

Individual team members were powerful and could quickly deal with the fierce beast in front of them. However, they would not rush in to deal with the other monsters. Instead, they would stick to their positions and stand in their positions. They would ensure that the flanks of the other team members did not have the slightest worry.

In this way, all the team members would only need to face the monsters. It was equivalent to a one-on-one battle.

The long-range attacking team members behind them could continue to help.

The battle was going on in full swing.

Liu Yan, who was high in the sky, looked around.

Although there were many monsters, their strength was relatively average.

The main reason was that the Land of Origin team had improved too much recently, so it was relatively easy to face these monsters now.

If it were the old Land of Origin team, they would probably be having some trouble now.

Although they could hold on, Liu Yan still chose to help. He asked Chu Cunrui to bring a small team of experts and join the battle.

With the help of Chu Cunrui and a few experts, members of the Land of Origin team, who had been relatively relaxed, became even more relaxed.

Monsters fell one after another, dropping some treasure chests from time to time.

Occasionally, the free members would collect the nearby treasure chests.

They left some treasure chests and continued to battle.

As for Xu Han, Murong Xue, and the other top experts, Liu Yan did not let them join the battle yet.

These ordinary monsters were not worth their efforts.

Undying Fire Phoenix was in the middle of the formation. From time to time, it would help out but did not use its full strength. It had been saving its stamina for later battles.

At this time, Liu Yan also roughly understood the situation of the other territories through Purple Wind Falcon.

The situation of the metal attribute territory and wood attribute territory was not bad. Although it was not as easy as here, the metal attribute territory and territories had ideal terrain for them to defend.

In addition, the Pan-ocean Community team and New Continent team only wanted to defend. They were eliminated, so they only needed to defend the territory according to Liu Yan’s orders. They did not have much desire to kill monsters and collect treasure chests. Liu Yan himself did not ask too much of them.

As a result, the two teams were quite relaxed. They hid in the terrain, and the team members cooperated with the guardian beast to defend. For the time being, there was no problem.

The European Federation team was in a water attribute territory. The terrain was not ideal for defense. However, their water-attribute territory guardian beast, Sea Emperor Turtle, was a guardian beast with superb defensive abilities. In addition, all the members of the European Federation team participated in the battle, surrounding the guardian beast to fight.

The Red Star Empire team did not have all the members participating in the battle. Only the ordinary members participated.

However, they were in earth attribute territory. Hence, it was beneficial for defense.

The earth attribute territory’s guardian beast, Heaven-swallowing Python, was also powerful. Its combat strength was terrifying. As a result, the Red Star Empire team could still hold on.

The battles of the five territories surrounded the guardian beasts. The team members fought around the guardian beast.

Such benefits could naturally guarantee the combat strength of the team members to a greater extent.

However, Liu Yan also felt that something was not right.

Such a combat method was indeed very beneficial. It was relatively stable and could also preserve the combat strength of the team members.

However, at the same time, it also had a big drawback.

The biggest drawback was that guardian beasts with strong combat strength were restricted by these ordinary monsters.

The guardian beasts could only stay in the same place and fight. They could not go anywhere else.

If the guardian beast could escape from the battle and get rid of these normal monsters, it would have a chance to go and kill the elite monsters or even the boss.

The guardian beasts of the other territories were earth-type and water-type guardian beasts. They could not leave their original spots and were trapped in their original spots.

They could only leave after killing all the small monsters.

Although these small monsters were not strong, there were many of them. One could not see the end of them at a glance. They needed a long time to kill them.

Liu Yan’s guardian beast of the fire attribute territory, Undying Fire Phoenix, could leave through the air.

Unfortunately, these monsters had the highest aggro toward the guardian beast.

If Undying Fire Phoenix left, these monsters would follow the Undying Fire Phoenix and chase after Undying Fire Phoenix.

At that time, Undying Fire Phoenix’s battle would still be affected by these monsters.

The change in the formation of these monsters might put pressure on members of the Land of Origin team. The team members would have a hard time dealing with these monsters.

“It would be great if these monsters could maintain their aggro and charge toward the center of the formation while Undying Fire Phoenix could leave.” Liu Yan could not help but mutter.

Immediately after, Liu Yan thought of a solution.

That was the enchanted puppet!

Liu Yan had made the enchanted puppet into a substitute puppet. It could die for Liu Yan once, but it could not fight directly.

However, Liu Yan could make other combat puppets.

Moreover, now that Liu Yan had mastered Gold Talent, he was more sensitive to metal and could control metal. Therefore, it was much easier to make puppets. Unlike before, the required materials and the process of making it were complicated. Liu Yan also needed a soul.

Now, Liu Yan could make an enchanted puppet that did not need a soul.

This type of enchanted puppet did not have a soul, did not have a hint of battle consciousness, and could not fight automatically. However, Liu Yan could control them through his Gold Talent, allowing them to fight continuously.

However, the enchanted puppet that he made could only help in battle and could not replace Undying Fire Phoenix.

However, according to Liu Yan’s understanding, if his Gold Talent was upgraded to Gold Secret Art, he could use metal to simulate the aura of the soul.

At that time, Liu Yan could create an enchanted puppet to replace the aura of Undying Fire Phoenix. Then, he could use his Gold Talent to conceal the aura of Undying Fire Phoenix. That way, the enchanted puppet would be able to attract the monsters. Meanwhile, Undying Fire Phoenix would be able to leave these annoying monsters safely and follow Liu Yan to the real battlefield.
