2047 Shadow Blade! Shadow Puppetry Seal! (4)

“Why do I feel like your presence is so weak? You’re not doing anything,” Tong En teased.

Wan Dong and the others were speechless.

What did she mean by “not doing anything”? How could she insult them like this?

A strange look came over the faces of Yuan Bai and the others. Were these people just here for the show?

“Don’t look at us like that. It’s not our time to act yet,” Wan Dong said nonchalantly.

…

On the other side, Wang Teng dragged one of the armored corpses into a corner. He activated his Shadow Talent, and a powerful suction emerged from his palm.

The armored corpse struggled violently, and its armor produced a continuous clanging sound.

“Damn it!”

Wang Teng’s expression shifted slightly. He had thought he had taken care of this armored corpse, but it appeared there was a flaw during the absorption process.

Tap, tap, tap…

The footsteps in the distance were getting closer again, and it seemed like those armored corpses had heard something and were quickly returning.

Wang Teng immediately increased the absorption rate with a powerful suction force.

Bang, bang…

The armor shook even more violently as if a person inside was thrashing about frantically.

Something’s not right!

Wang Teng’s gaze sharpened, and he activated his Real Eye, examining the interior of the armored corpse.

As he suspected, he saw an array-like structure inscribed within the armored corpse, locking away the shadow power within. It couldn’t be extracted through brute force alone.

This won’t stop me. Wang Teng sneered, and his Shadow Power surged out, invading the armored corpse’s body.

Boom!

The array was instantly shattered.

The pulling force erupted!

Strands of Shadow Power finally drifted out from within the armor, absorbed by Wang Teng.

At the same time, several attribute bubbles emerged from the armored corpse, and Wang Teng immediately picked them up.

He didn’t have time to examine them closely and simply left the armored corpse behind as he swiftly retreated.

After the Shadow Power was absorbed, the armored corpse instantly decayed, turning into dust and dissipating.

Wang Teng glanced back with astonishment, but he didn’t linger. He quickly left the area before the armored corpse patrol arrived.

Shadow Puppetry Seal!

With several attribute bubbles flooding into his mind, Wang Teng began to understand.

So, the seal inside the armored corpse is the Shadow Puppetry Seal, an array that uses Shadow Power to control the corpse, keeping the Shadow Power confined within the body for manipulation! The reason those armored corpses can move and fight is because of this Shadow Puppetry Seal.

In Wang Teng’s mind, a rather complex formation pattern emerged, and he abruptly halted in his tracks.

Shadow Puppetry Seal: 300/3000 (foundation)

I just picked up 300 points of attributes. They’re just at the foundation stage! Those armored corpses are Shadow Puppets, and they contain this kind of formation seal. Wang Teng’s eyes glittered with excitement.

It was time to collect more attribute bubbles.

Wang Teng’s eyes shone brightly. This Shadow Puppetry Seal was indeed formidable. According to the insights he had just gained, by obtaining a powerful-enough cadaver and inscribing the Shadow Puppetry Seal with a adequate amount of Shadow Power, he could create a formidable Shadow Puppet.

If he could obtain the corpse of a universe-stage martial warrior and elevate his Shadow Power to the corresponding level, Wang Teng could craft a universe-stage Shadow Puppet.

The actual power it could wield would depend on the corpse’s state of preservation and the stage of the Shadow Puppetry Seal.

To craft the seal, apart from requiring a substantial amount of Shadow Power, Wang Teng would also need some special materials.

The grade of these special materials also determined the power of the Shadow Puppet.

Wang Teng thought of the universe-stage corpse from the Giant Horn Race. It was initially thought to be of little use, but now it seemed to have some potential.

Although the corpse had been damaged to some extent, for Wang Teng, it was a perfect experimental subject.

Universe-stage corpses were rare.

And obtaining one was an exceptionally difficult task.

For martial warriors, a powerful Shadow Puppet was an incredible ace up their sleeve.

When facing a stronger opponent, they could release the Shadow Puppet and, while not guaranteed victory, it would certainly aid in self-survival.

If luck was on their side, they might even catch the opponent off guard with it.

Wang Teng’s eyes gleamed with determination. Instead of leaving immediately, he decided to target the group of armored corpses.

Such a great opportunity to reap benefits shouldn’t be wasted!

With a quick movement, Wang Teng blended into the shadows. He ignited the Shadow Merging Secret Skill to approach the armored corpses stealthily.

He had noticed that using his Shadow Energy to power the Shadow Merging Secret Skill could effectively deceive these armored corpses. He had successfully retrieved a cadaver earlier without being detected.

Soon, a patrol of armored corpses came walking from a distance. Unaware of Wang Teng’s presence, they continued their rigid patrol and moved away.

Wang Teng followed closely behind them, moving silently. He seized one of the armored corpses, releasing his Shadow Power to immobilize the Shadow Power within the corpse, rendering it temporarily motionless.

He then dragged it away…

The other armored corpses didn’t notice anything unusual and continued their patrol.

These are truly a bunch of lifeless puppets! Wang Teng chuckled to himself, hiding in the shadows. He used his previous method to destroy the Shadow Puppetry Seal within the armored cadaver and absorbed the Shadow Power.

An attribute bubble floated up, and Wang Teng promptly collected it.

Shadow Puppetry Seal*250

Only 250 points this time! Wang Teng shook his head in disdain. It was lower than the first one. This was unforgivable.
