Several tiny black dots rapidly approached the town from afar. They were the eleven Demon Puppet Artisans Shen Bing had sent.
All the Demon Puppet Artisans carried communication systems, allowing Shen Bing to relay every command straight to their ears.
"Lu Xian, take Lu Shiyi and Lu Twelve straight into the castle-like building in the middle of town. Report immediately if you find anything unusual. The rest of you, spread out across every route through town. If you see anyone moving around, restrain them immediately."
Three tiny black dots immediately broke away and headed straight for the town's most conspicuous building, reaching it in the blink of an eye.
"Boss! There are several basement rooms here. We'll head down and investigate first," Lu Xian's voice came through.
"Good! Send me a live feed immediately."
A stark black-and-white image immediately appeared in a corner of the screen. It bore some resemblance to infrared imaging, but its clarity was beyond anything existing infrared equipment could achieve.
It showed an underground passage. Compared with the brightly lit, futuristic Underground Base on Dragon Lake Ring Island, this place felt much colder and gloomier.
The atmosphere really did resemble the dwelling of a Blood Clan member who had slept for centuries in a movie.
After descending more than twenty meters, Lu Xian paused briefly and shot Lu Shiyi beside him a look.
Lu Shiyi turned into a streak of light and shot forward. A barely audible sound came from up ahead a moment later.
Lu Xian and Lu Twelve continued onward. Around a bend, Lu Shiyi stood waiting for them. A person lay at his feet, but the man's head was gone.
A Demon Puppet Artisan's arms could easily cut through even high-strength titanium alloy, let alone the head of a Gene-Enhanced Human.
