Song Yang and Weng Yunling headed to Dening Town to find Zhang Ning’s team, which had been sent to hunt a dangerous Soul Beast in a bamboo forest. As the children entered the forest, they heard the guards doubt their abilities, while Zhang Ning warned his team to stay alert and protect the guards.

• Ye Lei recalled that Zhang Ning and the others had gone to Dening Town to hunt a roughly ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast that had killed workers in a bamboo forest.

Zhang Ning and the others entered a bamboo forest to hunt a Soul Beast, where blood-tainted mist separated them from their guides and a Misty Bamboo Crab killed one guard. Zhang Ning recognized the creature as a juvenile and suspected a more dangerous adult Misty Bamboo Crab was also hunting in the forest.

• Yu Xi worried that the Soul Beast might be too strong, but Song Yu Fan said they could call for backup if necessary.
• Zhang Ning reassured the two security guards as the group followed them through the bamboo forest, though the guides could no longer find their markers or the site of the previous death.

• Zhang Ning stopped the surviving freckled guard from approaching his companion, but a giant Misty Bamboo Crab lifted the dead guard into view and revealed his impaled body.
• Zhang Ning identified the beast as a juvenile Misty Bamboo Crab and suspected that an adult was also in the forest.

Zhang Ning and the others killed a 4,500-year Misty Bamboo Crab, but their attack stirred up a nest of stronger ones. As five Misty Bamboo Crabs closed in, Song Yang and Weng Yunling arrived and swiftly defeated them.

• Zhang Ning knocked out the freckled security guard and led the team in attacking a 4,500-year Misty Bamboo Crab suited to Cui Ling’s fourth Soul Ring.
• The team pinned the crab down and killed it, and Zhang Ning gave its Soul Ring to Cui Ling.
• Zhang Ning’s map showed five stronger Misty Bamboo Crabs approaching, including one with a cultivation age of twenty thousand years, so she sent up an emergency signal flare.
• Xie Wan Wan used Purification Fruit to protect the group from the crabs’ poisonous mist as they prepared to fight.
• Song Yang and Weng Yunling arrived, dispersed the mist, and killed the five approaching Misty Bamboo Crabs.

Song Yang and Weng Yunling arrived after Zhang Ning’s group completed their mission, and Weng Yunling sealed Bamboo Forest Town against Soul Beasts for ten years. The freckled security guard then transformed into a Blood Puppet, apparently under the influence of the Elder Hall, and confronted Song Yang’s group.

• A Blood Puppet-like mark appeared on the freckled security guard, whose body absorbed the nearby Misty Bamboo Crab corpses and transformed.
• Song Yang suspected the Elder Hall had caused the mutation as the security guard became a many-legged monster with both guards’ faces and demanded to know why help had come too late.

Song Yang fought the Two-Headed Blood Puppet, whose rapid regeneration and ability to absorb attacks made it stronger. He used golden flames and his Eighth Soul Skill to restrain and purify it, though the chapter ended before its fate was confirmed.

• Song Yang split the Two-Headed Blood Puppet with a water blade, but it quickly regenerated.
• Song Yu Fan reported that the puppet had strength comparable to an eighty-thousand-year Soul Beast, healed within five seconds, and absorbed attacks to grow stronger.
• Song Yang used his King Crocodile Left Leg Soul Bone Skill to engulf the puppet in golden flames, then severed and crushed its heads.
• Song Yang unleashed his Eighth Soul Skill, Abyssal Silence Sea Exorcism, sending a gigantic crocodile toward the immobilized puppet to erode and purify its dark energy.

• The Second Elder revealed his Calamity Blood Puppet and threatened Song Yang and Weng Yunling before Song Yang struck him with Emperor Crocodile’s Wrath.
• The black mist fled toward the edge of Dening Town, while Song Yang and Weng Yunling let it escape and took the unconscious security guard toward Banyan City for treatment.
• Ye Lei blocked the black mist at the town’s boundary and identified its abilities as those of the Puppet Elder.

• Second Elder placed purple mist surrounded by six drops of blood into the Incubation Pod, where the Puppet King’s body was being prepared.
• Second Elder blamed Song Yang and Ye Lei for disrupting his plan to use eight children’s souls to complete the Puppet King.
• Second Elder recalled that he had made the Puppet King from his two Soul Sage subordinates, the ordinary soldiers of Second Dwelling Hall, and Soul Beast corpses, and that it still needed human resentment to take shape.

The Second Elder completed his Puppet King by sacrificing a subordinate’s heart, blood, and resentment, then faced the Great Elder and his companions. The Third Elder revealed that his four subordinates had died while he tried to reclaim his soul bone from Banyan City.

• The Second Elder fused his Heart Blood into the Incubation Pod and killed a subordinate to obtain the resentment needed to complete his Puppet King.
• The Incubation Pod shattered, and the Second Elder’s skinless Puppet King emerged; it immediately attacked a distant presence.
