Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god

#680 - Stealing spider silk

More than a dozen martial arts experts surrounded Snow Owl, Seagull, and Gaoshan in the courtyard, launching attacks together. Although they were only second- or third-rate experts, roughly at Yue Zhenqiao's level, their numbers posed a significant threat.

Especially since these martial arts experts clearly came from different backgrounds, some not even from the same prison, yet their coordination was incredibly seamless, showing no sign that they didn't know each other at all.

In fact, their coordination was absurdly good—two warriors attacking one after the other, the one in front even able to move aside and duck their head to make way for the person behind them, as if they could read their companion's mind.

The cooperation of these dozen or so warriors even produced an effect greater than the sum of their parts!

This also reflected that the Thousand-Eyed Silken Demon Lord, using the "Causal Thread" divine power to control the puppets, not only retained their memories and consciousness, and could still display their skills as usual, but also seemed to be connected to some kind of collective consciousness network, allowing each individual to coordinate with the whole like ants or bees.

However, even so, at the center of the siege, Snow Owl, Seagull, and Gaoshan were still able to quickly and continuously reduce the number of puppets, despite the seamless cooperation of these Jianghu experts.

"This demon indeed cannot have any good intentions!"

Snow Owl cleaved open a master of dual swords with a single strike, and cursed again, "Old Daoist, stop explaining all this, how much longer do you need!"

"It'll take a while longer!"

Xuan Yunzi quickly replied.

The black纹路 on Snow Owl's skin had resurfaced, and although no warrior had injured her, fine beads of blood had seeped out of her skin.

"Damn it!"

What was even more deadly was that those puppets seemed to have realized…

Although the strongest of the three seemed to be this Snow Owl, she was actually the weakest link.

The focus of the puppets' siege instantly shifted to Snow Owl.

Even when facing the attacks of Gaoshan and Seagull, they seemed to disregard their own lives, preferring to be killed themselves, just to deliver one more blow towards Snow Owl.

And under such a fierce attack, Snow Owl's injuries inevitably became more and more serious—although she still hadn't been injured by them, the curse was obviously deepening!

In just a few exchanges, Snow Owl's skin was almost soaked in blood, making her look like she was covered in a layer of red rice浆, looking extremely wretched.

"Damn it, if I hadn't been hit by that guy's curse, these things wouldn't have been able to hurt me at all!"

Despite saying that, Snow Owl had to admit…

Although she could still hold on now, it was already very difficult.

If these warriors continued to besiege her for a few more minutes, it would probably be enough to make her fall directly!

And just then…

Snow Owl suddenly felt the pressure from all sides lessen a lot.

After regaining her senses, Snow Owl raised her head—the courtyard that had been "overcrowded" was now empty.

Those warrior puppets who had been besieging them had all fallen to the ground and quickly "vanished into thin air."

They quickly turned into fine white spider silk, which dissipated with a gust of wind.

Although there were still many puppets outside the wall, they were obviously shocked by this strange scene and dared not enter the courtyard for a while.

"What's going on?"

"Why have all the people disappeared out of thin air?!"

Not only Snow Owl, but Gaoshan and Seagull were also at a loss.

And behind them, Li Nian's voice leisurely sounded.

"Of course they didn't disappear out of thin air, it's me, it's my contribution!"

They turned their heads and looked at Li Nian together, only to see the girl proudly push up the sunglasses on her face.

"How did you do it?"

"That guy just said too much stuff to Sister Yao," Li Nian waved her hand, "Since this divine power is called 'Causal Thread' and can manipulate people's past, and based on my observations along the way, I had a guess."

"That is, these puppets who still retain a certain degree of self-awareness should all have some kind of 'tangible' thing to carry this 'Causal Thread' divine power… Since they are special compared to ordinary puppets, there must be something special about them."

"And as long as it's something tangible… I can steal it."

Li Nian said softly, turning her hand and revealing a few strands of spider silk.

"This is?"

"The carrier of the Causal Thread divine power," Li Nian looked at the top of the wall outside. In her vision, each puppet was pulling a shiny spider silk behind them, buried in the ground. "This spider's ability is considered strange in the Prison Mountain Realm, but it's not particularly strange or unreasonable after all."

"It's better to say that among the ten realms, except for the things in the Gray Domain that are elusive, the remaining abilities, no matter how strange they seem, should follow certain rules."

Li Nian said softly, and a sneer came from the main entrance of the Taoist temple: "You're really smart. Even among the people from beyond the realm, you're considered exceptionally smart."

A familiar face appeared at the main entrance.

"Yo, Escort Yue, you've been completely assimilated?"

Yue Zhenqiao didn't react to Li Nian's greeting.

He just continued to say to himself: "Your trick is indeed powerful, so… it seems that we second- and third-rate warriors are useless."

"But fortunately, we still have higher-level experts."

As Yue Zhenqiao spoke, six figures with more than ten times the pressure of the previous warriors slowly appeared at the main entrance.

"I can feel that your strange ability to 'steal' spider silk requires 'contact' to activate—just now your figure disappeared, it was to secretly touch those spider silks in stealth… But now, can you still touch them?"

Xuan Yunzi looked at the door, his face changing drastically.

"This aura… not good, it's actually Twelve Aperture warriors!"

The six easily crossed the already dilapidated outer formation of the Taoist temple, and then stepped into it—although the formation was already crumbling, this easy, seemingly curtain-raising posture could still explain something.

These six people are indeed not comparable to the previous batch of warriors.

Li Nian also narrowed her eyes: "Oh dear, it seems it will indeed be difficult to succeed again."

She could feel that the qi of these six newly appeared people was firmly locked on her, obviously not intending to give her any chance!
