After arranging everything in Golden Bull Head Temple, He Ping summoned several large boxes from the shadow. As a large puppet like "Red-Scaled Amphibious Earth Carp" could not be stuffed into the shadow, he thought of a simple way, which was to modularize the puppet parts and set them into large and small units that can be combined, disassembled and replaced.

The original Earth-Armored Centipede is a whole that can hardly be disassembled repeatedly. After changing the design, Red-Scaled Amphibious Earth Carp can be disassembled into countless large and small parts, and can be spliced together by reassembly. This is a small optimization.

After the box came out of the shadow, he counted the time while controlling several Paper Spirit to assemble it. In a blink of an eye, the large and small parts were combined together, turning into a giant pangolin with silver claws and an iron mouth, red scales, and glowing red eyes.

Compared with Chixinzi's Red-Scaled Earth-Armored Centipede Dragon, this giant pangolin is much smaller and is obviously a product of shrinkage. Immortal Puppet Sect requires a lot of materials to refine the puppet, and it takes a lot of time to prepare before and after.

He Ping's refining of Red-Scaled Amphibious Earth Carp was also an impromptu effort. There were some shortcomings in preparation. The materials were used up and the design was reduced by 30% compared to the original design. Despite this, it is also larger in size than the original big demon Mountain Demon.

He took a picture of the giant pangolin's head. The pangolin's eyes, made with puppetry, shone red, and the hundreds of red scales on its body shook at the same time. The scales stretched out with cold light and extremely sharp edges.

Then, the iron beast-like pangolin stood up, its scales shaking, making a sound of gold and iron colliding and rubbing. A secret door hidden in its abdomen opened with a click, revealing a space for one person to hide inside.

He Ping can flexibly get into it. The interior of Pangolin Puppet is not big, but it is very comfortable. It is enough for one person to stretch out his body and lie down in this cockpit-like space.

Hiding in it, he can also control this Pangolin Puppet to move freely, and can also release silk threads and use the scattered Severed Ghost Hand to control other puppets from a distance.

Pangolin Puppet got back on all fours, slowly found a hidden position, drilled a hole, and escaped underground. He Ping, who was hiding under the ground, could gain insight into the outside world through Puppet Eye Spirit Orb and Flying Wing Green Bat that had been hidden in advance.

To him, Puppet Eye Spirit Orb is like a camera, and Flying Wing Green Bat can collect sound waves, which is undoubtedly a convenient means for surveillance.

He Ping used Pangolin Puppet to sneak into the ground for half an hour before he noticed something through Puppet Eye Spirit Orb and Flying Wing Green Bat...

The snow stopped very early, the earth was shrouded in night, and the mountains were covered with silver and stood still.

The outside world is also extremely quiet. After the heavy snowfall, everything is silent and the night is dark. Except for the sound of branches being blown by the wind and hail falling to the ground, there are no other sounds.

Suddenly, several black spots appeared in the sky, and Xingchi flew towards Golden Bull Head Temple like lightning.

After a while, those black spots were close to Golden Bull Head Temple. Due to the shortening of the distance, the target individuals also enlarged.

They were seven or eight large skulls, some large and some small, wrapped in a black whirlwind, flying in the air and making weird laughs, their teeth chattering, which sounded terrifying.

"This is a Buddhist practitioner. Why do you feel more like a member of the evil sect than me?"

He Ping whispered secretly.

At this moment, the black wind blew down from the sky with a "whistle" sound, and a human figure emerged from it and landed in front of the Jinniu Temple.

This figure is a monk wearing a bright red cassock. There is no moxa scar on his head, his face is sullen, his eyebrows are thick and his eyes are blazing. He does not look like a monk at all.

Those skeletons were rolling up and down around the black wind, but suddenly they converged and turned into a string of light, which hung on the chest of the red-robed demon monk and turned into a string of skull necklaces.

"Weird!"

The red-robed demon monk murmured to himself.

"I sent the 'Niutou Mingwang' to come to the Golden Niutou Temple for me to capture boys and girls to practice the law. Who would have thought that when he came here, he disappeared. Could it be that he met some powerful character and was captured, or was killed by a master..."

The monk was also very puzzled. This Flying Yaksha was hard-earned for him. This kind of the Abyssal Realm monster was difficult to find on the surface. After being subdued with the Dharma, he could just turn the Great Majestic Virtue Dharma he majored into into a powerful protector.

"Anyway, let's investigate first." The monk glanced at Golden Bull Head Temple and found signs of fighting here. His red cassock fluttered in the wind, and suddenly jumped into the air, and his star ball flew into the Great Hero Hall.

This Great Hero Hall was badly damaged due to the previous battle, with a large hole in the ceiling. In the dilapidated main hall with cobwebs hanging down, most of the clay Buddha statues were destroyed, and rubble spilled from the holes covered the ground.

"Hey! These boys and girls are still here!"

The red-robed demon monk was overjoyed. He moved and approached the large iron cage in the corner. The iron cage was also covered with a layer of black cloth, but it was not covered tightly, and several young children could still be seen inside.

The young children seemed to be in a deep sleep and knew nothing about the outside world. The red-robed demon monk acted extremely recklessly and regardless of the situation, he strode closer to the iron cage. At this moment, the closed eyes of the sleeping "young children" suddenly opened, and a ghostly aura flashed in the children's eyes.

"Not good!"

The red-robed demonic monk realized something was wrong and quickly wanted to retreat. The big iron cage made two loud bangs, and the "young children" fluttered like paper, letting out weird laughter. Seven shadows suddenly spun rapidly, surrounding the red-robed monk.

Hit the mark!

The red-robed demon monk stood in the formation and felt that these seven shadows were as fast and neat as spinning wind wheels. What surprised him most was that among those ghostly shadows, there was an invisible force pressing tightly towards him. Although the paper puppet had not yet made a move towards him, the mysterious force was rushing towards him endlessly.

The undercurrent was like a wave, blowing up his cassock. The red-robed monk did not dare to be careless. The skull necklace hanging around his neck glowed with gray light, resisting the invisible and mysterious force.

"Hehe, hehehe!"

The laughter rang out again, and the seven paper puppets flew into the air like flying through the void. Amidst the whistling sound, the eight hands were like flying leaves, slashing at the red-robed monk from eight different directions.

Boom!

The red-robed demon monk shouted loudly, his eyes were blood red, especially a layer of black energy was released from outside his body, forming a protective spiritual light. Under the interaction of the two, it turned into a strong impact, and the seven pieces of paper were like fluttering papers without any force. After a series of "Peng Peng Peng" vibrations, they flew out one after another. At the same time, the skull necklace was also taken off and thrown out by the demon monk.

As soon as the skull necklace was taken off its hands, it let out a Jiujiu ghostly cry, and the skull beads exploded and turned into several skulls of different sizes. Each one had fire in its eyes, and ghostly aura surged up and down in the Great Hero Hall, which was almost turned into ruins.

Unexpectedly, the moment the skull necklace was taken off, the Spirit-Exploding Witch Puppet hidden under the rubble, clay statues, and sacred tables floated out and flew towards the red-robed demon monk in the center. They flew halfway and suddenly exploded with a bang. Scarlet flames exploded and countless sparks flew.

The red-robed demon monk did not expect this scene at all. He himself was the center of the explosion. Even though his whole body was filled with black energy, the strong fire still engulfed his entire body.

Amidst the sound like thunder shaking the ground, the main hall was hit hard again. A series of explosions shook the stone and made it fly like ashes in an instant, like a thick fog.

"Did it work?"

The dull sound of explosions was faintly heard. He Ping speculated on the situation on the ground and continued to stare closely into the hall.

Amidst the smoke and dust, several doors in the hall shattered, and a charred figure rolled out. A black wind blew, mixed with countless sparks and a series of light explosions. The snow outside the hall looked like electric snakes, scurrying around, spreading and growing amidst the explosions.

After Spirit-Exploding Witch Puppet self-detonated, the oily stains of nitrated gunpowder burned brightly, and as soon as they burned out, they became mixed with the snow and water.

"Cough cough cough..."

The demonic monk in red robe suffered a secret loss. He was protected by spiritual light. He was not seriously injured, but his whole body was charred black, and his bright red cassock was turned into strands. Compared to a monk, his outfit looked more like Beggar.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The demon monk had never suffered such a big loss in his life. When he knew that he was being cheated on, he was immediately burned with anger and his whole body was shaking with anger.

Suddenly, his feet were gone, the ground sank, and something opened its mouth and bit half of his body. The monster monk was bitten from the waist down by the mouth, and the sharp teeth penetrated the flesh. His screams, like vomiting blood, echoed in the snowy night.
