Forbidden Technique Puppet

The birdsong was so close that even the roaring wind couldn't drown it out. Through the hazy, windswept band, several emerald-green figures could be seen, struggling to flap their wings as they fought against the strong winds and charged towards them fearlessly.

These birds seemed determined to fight them to the death; even after they had entered this place, they still chased them in.

Ai Jiangtu, who was leading the way, stopped after sensing the increasing power of the attacks nearby. He turned to the group and said, "Prepare for battle!"

They initially thought that now that they had arrived, the birds wouldn't rush in anymore, but unexpectedly... a large flock of strange birds with emerald green bodies swooped down against the biting wind. They were fierce and swift, and knew how to control the airflow, making them much more powerful than they had imagined.

Nan Jue commanded, "Be careful not to get separated, maintain formation."

In the windy area, visibility was actually very low, and the communication devices were further interfered with by lightning. Amidst the deafening bird calls and the rumbling wind, communication relied solely on shouting. Fortunately, Nan Jue was Sound Mage, and her voice was able to reach everyone's ears.

A barrage of various magical attacks only managed to kill one ten-thousandth of the enemy...

Nan Jue said, "Maintain formation. If we go any deeper, there are still too many of them; we can't handle them."

Upon hearing this, Ai Jiangtu, sensing the dire situation, led the group further into the area where the storm was stronger, hoping that the storm could indeed form a barrier, creating a natural buffer zone...

"Mo Fan, to the left!"

"Mu Ningxue, behind you!"

"Tang Miao, to the left!"

"..."

Visibility was so low inside the storm that people couldn't even see each other's faces, so Nan Jue was the only one who could direct the formation.

Tang Miao dealt with several of them, only to suddenly discover that these strange birds were actually soulless!?

Upon realizing this, Tang Miao hurriedly said, "Stop fighting! Conserve your mana! These strange birds have no souls! Retreat!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned!

No one expected that what had been chasing them for so long was actually a soulless puppet... and with such formidable strength?

Ai Jiangtu asked with some doubt, "Are you sure?"

"Right!"

Tang Miao responded with just one word, without offering any further explanation.

After hearing his explanation, everyone understood why the strange birds hadn't encountered any obstacles after chasing them for so long...

Next, the group continued to move towards the center of the lightning storm. At this point, the strong winds were strong enough to tear Servant Level creatures apart. Each of these Advanced Mage needed a defensive spell to move forward normally in the lightning storm.

After entering this area, Nan Jue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The strange birds don't seem to dare to chase us anymore."

Jiang Yu said somewhat dejectedly, "Will they be waiting for us outside? We can't possibly hold out in this lightning storm for too long. Right now, the wind is draining our magic energy indefinitely. If a lightning bolt happens to pass by, our defensive magic items will also be used up."

Everyone was at a loss, and could only discuss their options while hiding inside the storm. However, staying in the storm wasn't a long-term solution. Who knew how stable this lightning storm was? What if it suddenly went berserk and increased in power, sweeping everyone into the strongest part of the storm?

"How dare you speak like that? If you hadn't led us astray, we wouldn't have been chased so badly by these puppet birds!" Zu Jiming pointed at Jiang Yu and cursed.

"Jiang Yu, you have to take full responsibility for this," Guan Yu and Mu Tingying also complained.

Jiang Yu knew it was his fault, so he didn't say anything more.

Tang Miao was somewhat annoyed and immediately said, "What's the use of your accusations now? I don't think this will be the last time it happens. You may have triggered some kind of forbidden technique!"

Upon hearing what Tang Miao said, everyone panicked even more...

Tang Miao seemed to recall that the solution was found at the Peru National Pavilion! But he couldn't remember much else...

Then, Tang Miao added, "Tell me about the places you went before, the strange birds you encountered, and the people you met."

"I remember when we first entered Nazca, an older man specifically warned us that this was a restricted area and we shouldn't wander around."

Zhao Manyan recalled, then said somewhat awkwardly, "But we didn't listen to him and went in anyway, only to find that no one dared to go in. However, we didn't encounter anyone inside either."

"Uncle?"

Tang Miao paused, then asked again, "Is there anyone living there?"

They all shook their heads.

Tang Miao then understood and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the uncle you're talking about should know about the restrictions there. And he must have done something he shouldn't have, and then, realizing the danger, he probably felt guilty and warned you, right?"

Mu Tingying said with some helplessness, "But we haven't done anything that would offend heaven or man, so why are they relentlessly attacking us?"

Tang Miao deduced, "I think those strange birds that attacked you were searching for something. However, they are ultimately puppets; they don't know who did what. The only way to get the answer now is to go to the Peru government building and ask them where the recent attacks have occurred. Only then can we make a judgment."

Listening to what Tang Miao said, the group felt that there might still be hope, and their fear lessened.

"However, don't get your hopes up too high."

Tang Miao shook his head helplessly and said, "Based on what you've said, the numbers are increasing each time. I think the next time it will be a Demon Beast tribe. In other words, the moment they arrive next time, we must find this damned person. Only when they find what they want, or rather, find the culprit, will this matter be resolved."

The group, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly became anxious again.

"Haahaha..."

Just when everyone was feeling helpless, Lu Yilin, whose magical powers had been restricted, suddenly burst into wild laughter.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked over.

Lu Yilin said in a slightly crazed tone, "My future is ruined, and I'll just die anyway, which I initially hated. But now that you lot are going to die with me, I suddenly feel like God isn't blind after all. Hahahaha!!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan stood up and lifted him up, seemingly intending to drag him out of Jiang Yu's defensive magic tool and make him explode!

This time, no one stopped Mo Fan, because they all suddenly felt that Lu Yilin truly deserved to die!

Tang Miao said calmly, "Killing this idiot would be pointless, let him live. Besides, he might not even die. If I'm not mistaken, we're probably encountering tens of thousands of these puppet monsters elsewhere. If we're lucky, once the person who did the wrong thing is dealt with by these puppets, all the problems will be solved."

Hearing Tang Miao say this, Ai Jiangtu and the others felt that this might not be entirely good news...
