Puppet Room

Xiao Fan looked at the Long-Blade Puppet that had been restored to its original state, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"It seems I underestimated these Puppet in the secret realm."

He had initially thought the Puppet he had just contracted were just ordinary auxiliary combat forces, but now it seemed that Puppet strength far exceeded his expectations.

But then he thought about it again, and a relieved smile appeared on his lips, his mind completely at peace.

"However, the stronger the Puppet, the better."

The secret realm is fraught with danger, and every strong combat force is the greatest source of confidence to clear the level.

The fact that the Puppet is incredibly powerful means that the new aid he has gained is extremely valuable, providing him with a solid guarantee for exploring the secret realm in the future.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Fan no longer hesitated.

His eyes were focused, his mind completely bound to the contracted Puppet, and exquisite mental commands were issued in an instant.

At the same time, he drew his longsword, skillfully activating his ancient martial arts moves and game skills. The man and the Puppet worked in perfect coordination, creating an extremely sharp offensive and defensive rhythm.

The contracted Puppet directly blocked and restrained the attack, while the massive shields withstood the onslaught and firmly locked down the Long-Blade Puppet's movement.

Xiao Fan pinpointed his opponent's weaknesses and precisely attacked the Puppet's damaged armor and joints.

While using ranged skills, attack the support Puppet behind them.

The two, one human and one Puppet, complemented each other in offense and defense, moved in perfect unison, with no superfluous actions.

Although the two Puppet were quite powerful, they were ultimately just inanimate objects without independent intelligence, unable to adapt to changing circumstances or predict the course of the battle.

Under Xiao Fan's exquisite tactical command and mental manipulation, they quickly suffered a series of defeats and fell into a disadvantageous position.

The fierce battle lasted for a while, and the remaining two Puppet's health bars rapidly decreased, plummeting to the bottom.

With two dull cracking sounds, the health bars above the two Puppet were completely depleted, and their stiff bodies suddenly froze.

The chilling killing intent and violent aura that had surrounded him vanished instantly. The hard Puppet body turned into tiny specks of light, slowly dissolving in mid-air and disappearing completely from the secret chamber.

The hustle and bustle faded away, and the tightly closed room returned to a deathly silence, with only a faint lingering smell of metallic clanging in the air.

"Good."

Xiao Fan looked at the Puppet beside him with satisfaction.

After mastering the controls, he found the Puppet to be really useful.

After catching his breath, Xiao Fan's sharp gaze swept over every corner of the room. He meticulously examined each area to confirm that there were no more clues to the secret realm, fragments of treasures, or hints for clearing the level.

After confirming that everything was correct, he moved slowly and stepped out of the Puppet chamber that had just experienced a fierce battle.

Standing in the corridor outside the door, Xiao Fan looked back at the tightly closed door behind him.

"It seems that the rooms in this secret realm are full of hidden dangers. Apart from the empty rooms that pose no threat, all the other secret rooms are likely to harbor deadly dangers and surprise attacks."

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, it was truly unexpected. Who could have imagined that what he thought was a good room, Puppet contract that would provide free assistance, would actually conceal a dangerous hidden agenda?

Having just successfully subdued his personal Puppet, the other two Puppet in the same room suddenly launched a deadly sneak attack, catching him completely off guard.

"It seems this secret realm is fraught with both danger and opportunity; there's no absolutely safe area. We must proceed with caution."

"Fortunately, we've made a contract with the Puppet. We can let the Puppet go in and explore first, which will be much safer."

With that in mind, Xiao Fan no longer hesitated and manipulated the Puppet to open the next room.
