The fragments of mending the heavens—this black mist is actually related to the fragments of mending the heavens?
Could there be a secret hidden within the fragments of the Unmending Heaven?
"System, analyze the relevant information between the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone and the black mist!"
"Ding! Analysis in progress... Analysis complete..."
"Insufficient permissions to display!"
This result almost made Lin Yu spit out a mouthful of blood. How long had it been since he had seen the words "insufficient permissions"?
Good, very good, this black mist has completely piqued my interest.
The Crimson Sun Wonderland contains mysterious black mist, and the Phoenix Ancestral Sea contains something similar; this matter is definitely not that simple.
Could it be that the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone mutated after falling into the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, or perhaps it was used by some wicked Fallen Black Phoenix?
As Lin Yu pondered, he suddenly realized that the small white monster in the black mist had disappeared, while the surrounding black mist was becoming increasingly dense.
Moreover, compared to the initial overwhelming force, this black mist seemed to have become more regular, like an onion, wrapping around Lin Yu layer by layer.
Judging from their stance, they actually intended to devour Lin Yu.
"Heh, ridiculous. Aren't you afraid of hurting yourself?" Lin Yu sneered. He hadn't encountered such an arrogant opponent in a long time.
Then, Lin Yu remained calm, raised her hand, and summoned a cyan compass into her hand out of thin air.
"Click..." That was the sound of the compass turning.
At the same time, a tremendous spiritual pressure surged down from the heavens, forcefully pressing down on the black mist.
"Buzz...", "Buzz...", "Buzz..."
A series of buzzing sounds came from the black mist, which was obviously resisting the terrifying pressure. However, under the enormous pressure, the black mist was not immediately flattened, but maintained its original shape.
"Gurgle... gurgle... gurgle..."
A series of sounds emanated from within the black mist, somewhat resembling the sound of water.
Then, the black mist surrounding Lin Yu was completely dispelled, and the black mist actually formed a black creature, resembling a fierce tiger, but with a cold light on its body, like a terrifying suit of armor.
"System, analyze the specific data of this spirit beast." Lin Yu summoned the system again.
"Ding! Deduction in progress... Deduction successful! (Click to view details!)"
"View details!" Lin Yu made the choice without hesitation.
Name: Dark Armored Tiger.
Age: 40,000 years old.
"Realm: None."
Identity: Puppet.
Bloodline: Not yet awakened.
"Supernatural Abilities: Not Awakened."
Current status: Insufficient permissions!
Insufficient permissions, it's that time of year again.
It seems I've stumbled upon a secret of this world.
"The Dark Armored Tiger must be a monster from the Dark Lands. And it's already 40,000 years old, so it's definitely an old monster," Lin Yu quickly concluded.
"They actually dispatched a demonic beast that's tens of thousands of years old; this black mist certainly shows some sincerity."
A slight smile appeared on Lin Yu's lips. She knew that the dark armored tiger in front of her was merely a manifestation of the black mist, and was actually just a puppet.
Lin Yu sneered and continued to rotate the Primordial Compass. However, the endless pressure did not seem to have a significant effect on the black mist, so it did not have much effect.
The Primordial Compass is actually useless?
Indeed, the power of aura is most effective against beings with physical forms, and the dark armored tiger before them is ultimately just a manifestation of mist, so it's normal that its power is limited.
Lin Yu calmly put away the Primordial Compass, then unleashed another bolt of lightning upon it.
The blue-purple lightning, carrying countless tiny arcs of electricity, struck the dark-armored tiger directly.
"Roar!"
However, the power of lightning didn't seem to have much effect on the Dark Armored Tiger. After Lin Yu's strike hit, it not only failed to weaken the opponent but also made it even more excited.
"System, analyze how to solve this problem." Lin Yu frowned.
This was the first time that his two most proficient spells had failed to work.
"Ding! Deduction in progress... Deduction successful! (Click to view details!)"
"View details!" Lin Yu said without hesitation. This is the only inconvenience after the system upgrade; you have to make all the choices yourself, and it feels like the system isn't as intelligent as it used to be.
"This damn system should just be renamed the 'Permission-Insufficient System'," Lin Yu thought to himself, but didn't say it aloud.
God knows, this system is quite sensitive; if I had said it out loud, it would have been heartbroken for three days and three nights.
Although Lin Yu's current strength means he no longer relies on the system much, he still hopes to coexist peacefully with it.
"Please collect the essence blood of the ancient Phoenix clan to awaken system privileges and unlock the skills to deal with the puppets."
Upon seeing this deduction result, Lin Yu almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"System, you've changed!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host! The system has completed its automatic upgrade to the latest version, now updated to version three, including new features such as the self-service voice pack. Please check out the details!"
Such a lively system was something Lin Yu was actually quite unaccustomed to.
Thinking about it carefully, although the previous system was extremely aloof, at least it would directly give him the answer when he was deducing things. Unlike now, where he has to upgrade his privileges first to kill a puppet.
Ding! New search results found. Click to view details!
"Check the details!"
"To kill a puppet, you can start from its internal organs. The five internal organs are the puppet's weak points, and also the target of all puppet spells."
"By exploiting the puppet's weaknesses one by one from within, the puppet can be defeated without a fight, and it can be completely eradicated, disappearing from the Three Thousand Immortal Realms."
"Okay." Finally, there's a solution. Lin Yu couldn't help but nod.
However, the style of this upgraded system is really hard to get used to.
No sooner said than done, the dark-armored tiger had already opened its blood-red maw and charged towards Lin Yu: "Roar!"
Lin Yu smiled slightly, used magic to shrink his body, and landed in the mouth of the dark armored tiger with its large jaws.
The entire movement was executed flawlessly, as if flowing smoothly. If an outsider had witnessed it, they would probably have thought that Lin Yu was quite familiar with this kind of thing.
But heaven knows, this was the first time Lin Yu had ever done something like crawling inside a puppet's stomach to kill it.
She just appeared calm.
