"Can't do anything else?"
Everyone's expressions turned extremely grim.
The consumption of Origin Energy was within everyone's expectations. After all, the summoned puppets were formed from one's own cultivation; the greater their number, the greater the drain on one's strength. But being unable to do anything else was truly unbearable.
If he could only summon puppets and could neither advance nor act, how was he supposed to cross this thunder zone?
Surely no one could carry him through!
It was already exceedingly difficult for one person to pass through alone. If they had to bring him along, both of them might perish!
"How much Origin Energy does it consume?"
Though his expression was grim, one of them still asked with a trace of hope.
"It consumes an enormous amount of Origin Energy. With all my cultivation, I can summon at most five puppets!" The young man looked utterly embarrassed.
In truth, this trump card of his was rather useless. The puppets he summoned were not strong, only at the peak of the Immortal Lord realm. Summoning five of them would exhaust all his strength, yet those five people were of no use at all to someone of his level.
Thus, under normal circumstances, he had almost never used this move, usually leaving it gathering dust. Only because the situation was special had he brought it up now.
"Your entire cultivation can only summon five?"
Everyone was speechless.
Sure enough, it was a worthless move. Over such a long distance, let alone five, even fifty more would be useless!
"It's enough that you have this ability. I'll take you into the thunder zone. Once things like the pelts are no longer enough, I'll provide you with Origin Energy, and you can summon puppets!" Nie Yun thought for a moment before speaking.
