"Your trick is really effective; it emits light and illuminates the surroundings," Hu Jiu said casually.
The Keyboard Warrior nodded absentmindedly. Since just now, the density of the Toy Ghosts had increased significantly, and they were also much more powerful than before.
These Toy Ghosts do indeed evolve in a targeted manner. Before, Hu Jiu kept using the White Sash, and not long after, the Toy Ghosts that attacked him again had no necks and could not be easily hung up.
Just then, a slight tremor came from the ground. Hu Jiu and the Keyboard Warrior immediately fell silent. They both realized that a big guy was coming.
The Fierce Ghost could only be heard but not seen. The first thing that appeared was a strong, huge, deformed arm made of scraps of cloth, cotton, and broken toy parts.
The giant toy arm slammed down, but unfortunately it wasn't fast, and Hu Jiu and the Keyboard Warrior easily dodged it.
Hu Jiu cautiously looked in the direction of the arm. This Toy Ghost was indeed large, but its strength was not necessarily that great.
In Hu Jiu's field of vision, a colossal object slowly moved toward him.
Its appearance is bizarre, its exterior made up of countless pieces of materials of different shapes and colors, resembling a nightmare jigsaw puzzle.
On it, you can see the shoddy cotton stuffing for the dolls, the hard shells of plastic toys, the tattered rags of the dolls, and all sorts of button eyes, roughly sewn together to form an irregularly shaped hodgepodge.
Its many limbs are of varying lengths, and the joints wobble as if they might fall apart at any moment. When it moves, it sounds like wood and metal rubbing against each other, which is very harsh and accompanied by the rattling of buttons and fragments. Whenever it moves slowly, the mismatched parts creak and groan, which is chilling.
This Frankenstein's monster is simply a product of childhood joy being tainted by dark magic.
Hu Jiu showed no fear or tension, while the Keyboard Warrior's expression grew increasingly serious.
"Who will take it down? Or should we both go for it?" Hu Jiu asked.
The Keyboard Warrior said, "Let's all come together, but it's better to be a little cautious in this situation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Jiu suddenly raised his hand, and a sharp, diamond-shaped ice cone, carrying endless chill, shot out.
The Keyboard Warrior's "Big Treasure Key" followed closely behind, except this time Big Treasure Key was multicolored, radiating a dazzling light, and slashed towards the stitched- Toy Ghost with a powerful aura.
The giant Toy Ghost stretched out an arm and grabbed Hu Jiu's ice spike, but the coldness attached to the ice spike spread down the arm, inflicting a frozen and slowed status on it.
The Keyboard Warrior's Big Treasure Key was about to strike the Toy Ghost's head when the giant Toy Ghost suddenly tilted its body to the side.
The Seven-Colored Big Treasure Key still struck it, but only severed its two arms.
This sword strike was magnificent in its power.
Seeing this, the Keyboard Warrior unleashed another rainbow lightsaber.
The Toy Ghost instinctively tried to dodge, but unfortunately, a layer of ice had formed on the ground, restricting its movement.
This time, the giant Toy Ghost was knocked to the ground by the seven-colored Big Treasure Key, causing a gust of air to move.
But it still has the ability to act.
Keyboard Warriors pressed their advantage, dismantling the Toy Ghost's limbs.
Hu Jiu took advantage of the chaos to keep knocking off the buttons and eyes from the Toy Ghost.
At first, the Toy Ghost resisted fiercely, but as time went on, it gradually became still.
The Keyboard Warrior relaxed considerably, directly manipulating the keyboard to conjure a large, black cleaver, splitting the Toy Ghost in two, one half for each of them.
Hu Jiu put away the Toy Ghost's half-body, but a strange feeling arose in his heart.
It's like a sudden change in art style; dealing with that stitched-toy doesn't feel like catching a ghost, but rather like fighting a monster.
Toy Ghosts possess some instinctive evasive reactions, unlike those completely mindless vengeful Fierce Ghosts.
This enormous Toy Ghost was merely a byproduct of the Toy Factory, which only fueled Hu Jiu's curiosity about the Toy Factory even more.
The Keyboard Warrior cautiously asked Hu Jiu, "Should we continue to delve deeper in this direction?"
"Since just now, the number of Toy Ghosts ahead has become increasingly dense. If we go any further, there might be even more and more powerful ghosts."
Hu Jiu's lips curled into an unnatural smile, "The space here might be chaotic, so it's probably the same no matter which way you go. Whether we encounter more Toy Ghosts depends entirely on luck."
The Keyboard Warrior nodded. "What you said makes some sense, but I've decided to try a different approach."
"Okay." Hu Jiu agreed smoothly.
The two agreed and simultaneously turned left, heading in this direction.
Before coming in for the assessment, Kaiyang only said that the Toy Factory itself was restricted, but he didn't say whether he would encounter it behind the door, nor did he mention the dangers of the Toy Factory.
So... there's probably not much danger. As long as you don't do anything stupid or reckless, the bracelet's escape function should be enough to save your life.
Keyboard Warrior was in charge of lighting, while Hu Jiu was in charge of guarding. After walking for a while, the two dealt with a few more Toy Ghosts.
If you change direction, the density and frequency of the Toy Ghosts appearing will indeed decrease.
Although the Keyboard Warrior didn't say it, Hu Jiu could tell that he didn't want to fight anymore. He guessed that the Toy Ghosts he had imprisoned were enough to handle this test, so there was no need to overexert himself.
What a pity...
In such a dark and unfamiliar environment, who can guarantee that they will keep walking in the same direction?
The Keyboard Warrior's expression changed drastically when the outline of a strange building came into view.
"Damn it!"
After going around in circles, we ended up at the Toy Factory!
From the outside, it looked like a towering, massive abandoned factory, with broken windows and black vines climbing the walls, as if every brick and stone held some unknown secret.
The air around was filled with a strange, foul smell of machine oil and rust. The Toy Factory's gate had pipes of varying sizes from which Toy Ghosts continuously emerged.
The black vines clinging to the wall kept wriggling, trying to block the pipes. Some smaller toys were directly entangled by the vines, while some larger toys broke free, cleared the pipes again, and ran away into the distance.
The two are in a state of relative equilibrium.
Hu Jiu and the Keyboard Warrior didn't dare to advance rashly. Even from a distance, they could feel the terror of the Toy Factory; the oppressive feeling brought by those black vines was no less intense.
The black vines are likely one of the means to restrict Toy Factories.
Several Toy Ghosts headed straight for Hu Jiu and the Keyboard Warrior.
The Keyboard Warrior immediately declared, "I've already imprisoned enough Toy Ghosts. This place looks dangerous. I'm leaving first. Do as you please."
Before Hu Jiu could react, he snapped off the silver ring on his wrist.
