"Wh... What?"
Ye Feng was very surprised.
Because after the fire seed record's arcane rune array was activated, the rune ice-attribute arcane origin stones that Ye Feng had placed in the center of the array seemed to be sensing something and began to emit light.
"Kaka~Ka!~"
Under Ye Feng's astonished gaze, those rune ice-attribute arcane origin stones, which he couldn't recognize, began to float in the air, constantly drifting.
Finally, they arranged themselves and slowly landed on the ground, forming a second inner ring rune array.
Immediately after, the remaining rune ice-attribute arcane origin stones, still floating in the air, began to sort themselves out, then slowly landed, forming a third rune array...
"Holy cow!~"
Seeing this, Ye Feng was stunned. "The array recorded in the fire seed record is just an introduction?"
"Buzz!~"
The runes in the three rune arrays shone brightly, and in a flash, they formed a cylindrical array with a diameter of two meters, sparkling with blue ice light.
"This array... looks a bit like a cage!"
Ye Feng stared at the rune-covered cylindrical array for a long time and muttered.
"Big brother!"
At this moment, a very anxious voice from Xiaoxiao sounded.
Ye Feng turned his head and immediately frowned.
Because at this moment, Xiaoxiao and Shen Yunyao had many bleeding wounds all over their bodies, and both women were panting slightly, their expressions very tense...
"Xiaoxiao, you can't use arcane energy to attack the dark shadow puppet anymore. Although it can briefly repel it, or interfere with its attacks,"
"The more we attack it with arcane energy, the stronger it becomes after absorbing it!"
"And this place will continuously absorb our arcane energy. The consumption is too great!"
Shen Yunyao quickly cautioned Xiaoxiao.
"But if we don't attack with arcane energy, the dark shadow puppet will go to big brother!"
Xiaoxiao frowned, her expression a little conflicted.
Seeing this, Ye Feng looked at the cylindrical rune array beside him, pondered for a while, and then a light appeared in his hand. He tentatively moved four or five arcane runes that he recognized.
Instantly, the fence-like ice light on the side of the cylindrical rune array disappeared.
"Huh~ It really works!~"
Ye Feng was very surprised, and then he moved the arcane runes back to their original positions, and the fence-like ice light on the side of the cylindrical rune array reappeared.
"Xiaoxiao, Yun Yao, let it come!"
The next second, Ye Feng turned his head and shouted to Xiaoxiao and Shen Yunyao, who were in a tough fight.
As he spoke, Ye Feng had already moved the arcane runes, causing the fence-like ice light on the side of the cylindrical rune array to disappear, and he shot a water blade at the dark shadow puppet.
"Pfft!~"
The arcane energy water blade shot by Ye Feng hit the dark shadow puppet's head. Although it didn't injure the opponent, it successfully attracted the dark shadow puppet's attention.
The dark shadow puppet, while chewing on Ye Feng's water-attribute arcane energy, turned its head to face Ye Feng. At this moment, Xiaoxiao and Shen Yunyao had also retreated a considerable distance to the side.
"Chiluu~~"
"Ga~ga~"
The dark shadow puppet's scarlet tongue flicked, and it let out a strange cry before lunging rapidly at Ye Feng.
Perhaps it had absorbed a large amount of arcane energy from Xiaoxiao and Shen Yunyao, the dark shadow puppet's body had solidified to be almost like a real person, and its speed was much faster than before.
Moreover, its right hand wielded Ye Feng's true energy long slender knife, and its left hand had a serrated multi-faceted spike formed from arcane energy.
Within a few breaths, the dark shadow puppet arrived in front of Ye Feng. Its right hand's true energy knife slashed towards Ye Feng's neck, and its left hand's serrated spike stabbed towards Ye Feng's chest...
Seeing this, Ye Feng's eyes sharpened. The moment the true energy knife was about to strike him, he twisted his body, narrowly dodging the opponent's true energy knife.
His left hand's arcane energy flashed, and he directly smashed the dark shadow puppet's arcane energy serrated multi-faceted spike.
At the same time, Ye Feng condensed a ball of water-attribute arcane energy in his hand and shot it at the dark shadow puppet's back.
"Pfft!~ Crack~"
The dark shadow puppet was hit by Ye Feng's water-attribute arcane energy ball and tilted forward.
At this moment, Ye Feng's right hand's arcane energy flashed, and those arcane rune stones that he had previously misplaced were immediately returned to their positions.
"Buzz!~~"
A peculiar humming sound rang out, and the fence-like ice-blue light on the side of the cylindrical rune array reappeared, precisely trapping most of the dark shadow puppet within it.
"Whoosh!~"
Ye Feng did not stop there. His right hand flashed with light, and the Tang saber instantly appeared in his hand.
The next second, the Tang saber, imbued with true energy, was rapidly swung by Ye Feng towards the part of the dark shadow puppet that was not trapped within the cylindrical rune array.
"Zzzt~!"
A sizzling sound, like a hot knife cutting through butter, immediately followed.
"Gua~pfft~cha~!"
A series of strange, sharp cries filled with pain followed closely.
"What the... "
Ye Feng, who had jumped back several meters, was astonished!
Because the cylindrical rune array had indeed trapped the dark shadow puppet, and judging by the sounds it made, the Tang saber... seemed to have injured it...
"Ga~gua~chulu!~"
The dark shadow puppet within the cylindrical rune array kept crying out and struggling, trying to break through the rune array cage, but each time it was repelled by the bursting light of the array's runes.
Seeing this, Ye Feng was slightly taken aback!
After all, he had been trying things out. If it failed, he would have taken Xiaoxiao and Shen Yunyao and run away...
"Big brother, this rune array has trapped the dark shadow puppet inside!"
At this moment, Xiaoxiao ran to Ye Feng's side. Seeing the dark shadow puppet struggling and crying out within the cylindrical rune array, she said with great delight.
"Ye Feng, how did you do it... This strange rune array... and... you seemed to have injured the dark shadow puppet just now!"
Shen Yunyao chimed in, her voice filled with surprise and excitement.
"We'll talk about this later when we have time!"
Ye Feng waved his hand and looked at the dark shadow puppet within the cylindrical rune array. "Hey, what kind of monster are you? Who sent you?"
Because this dark shadow puppet was too dangerous, and it might be related to the secrets of the great cataclysm and the twilight of the gods, Ye Feng really wanted to learn more clues about this creature...
The dark shadow puppet did not respond to Ye Feng, still struggling on its own, trying to break through the cylindrical rune array. Several times it had extended its hand through the gaps in the ice light fence, but it was quickly pushed back by the bursting ice light runes of the array...
"This guy... can't speak... It seems to have no intelligence..."
Ye Feng asked the dark shadow puppet several questions, some of which were very simple, but the other party never answered.
Instead, it roared at Ye Feng, letting out a series of strange, sharp, and ear-piercing cries...
However, Ye Feng could feel the dark shadow puppet's frantic and hateful emotions...
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng frowned.
Because as the dark shadow puppet struggled wildly within the cylindrical rune array, the ice-attribute arcane origin stones that he had carved with runes to form the array began to become unstable, and their light was weakening...
