After seizing three treasures from the cave, Zhao Xing immediately retreated.
The resonance of the three treasures gathered together was far too intense, and he could not absorb them in a short time, so he chose Heavenly Altar Plaza.
Heavenly Altar Plaza was in the outer area of the temple. At certain times, fighting was forbidden there. As long as one entered during that period, they would be absolutely safe.
Otherwise, the clerks would have to compete against one another while also facing the dangers on the mountain. That would be far too difficult.
After Zhao Xing entered the plaza, watchful gazes remained on him, but no one dared to attack, nor could they. The straw men also entered one after another.
"Only thirty-four straw men remain."
"Still, Vajra Puppets make up half of them."
The greatest losses had come from exploring the mountain cat's cave.
Some had reached the end of their spell duration, while others had been damaged. Zhao Xing had not renewed them.
"There were originally thirty-nine. When I entered the temple grounds, I lost another five, including three Vajra Puppets." Zhao Xing's gaze turned cold as he looked in several directions.
Standing atop a large tree was an archer. He held a silver bow, while arrows beside him gleamed with dazzling light.
Even his clothes were extraordinary, capable of changing with the surroundings. Without looking carefully, one could easily overlook him. It was this man who had caused Zhao Xing to lose three Vajra Puppets.
"I'll remember you." Zhao Xing looked at the archer.
"Oh? Then I'll wait for you to come find me." The archer snorted in reply before disappearing into the forest.
Though he was somewhat surprised that he had failed to completely pierce through the Vajra Puppets, Zhao Xing was merely a Minister
