Universe Infinite Canteen

After obtaining the Corpse Puppet of the Giant Claw Lord, Ma Lu had thought about using it to launch a surprise attack on Sanrew.

However, Black Horn was, after all, part of the Golden Hunting Group, and a beast like the Giant Claw Lord obviously wouldn't be able to kill Sanrew.

Moreover, after testing it, Ma Lu found that the Corpse Puppet in its current state only retained about 70% of the Giant Claw Lord's base attributes, especially the speed, which had halved.

But this was understandable; after all, it was dead and certainly not as agile as when it was alive.

Luckily, this wasn't a problem, as Ma Lu had compensated for the lost attributes with other blessings. Not only had he compensated for them, but he had even exceeded them a bit.

Furthermore, the Purple Blessing [Full-Body Hardening] granted the Corpse Puppet immunity to all attacks on its weaknesses, except for decapitation.

But relying on these alone wouldn't be enough to kill Sanrew.

In addition, the problem was the small female Hunter with telekinetic abilities near He Yueji; her hearing was exceptionally sharp, making it difficult for approaching beasts to escape her ears.

With her around, an assassination would not be easy.

So after some thought, Ma Lu decided to move the Corpse Puppet of the Giant Claw Lord away.

It seemed a waste to let go of such a powerful Corpse Puppet so easily.

It would be better to use it to create more Corpse Puppets.

That's what Ma Lu was doing now; he set the Giant Claw Lord's Corpse Puppet to attack mode without a specific target, and the Corpse Puppet would automatically attack all living creatures nearby.

With another Purple Blessing [Infection], any creature killed by the Giant Claw Lord's Corpse Puppet had a 33% chance of turning into a Corpse Puppet, and currently, there was no shortage of beasts near Giant Curtain.

A rampaging, plus version of the Giant Claw Lord would transform into an armory, continuously producing corpse soldiers for Ma Lu for over ten minutes.

These corpse soldiers could then hunt other beasts, turning those beasts into Corpse Puppets as well, eventually assembling a large puppet army.

Not only that, but during this process, Ma Lu could continue to collect blessings.

Enhancing the squad's and Corpse Puppets' strength even further.

What is a win-win situation?

Winning twice is a win-win!

After the Giant Claw Lord "escaped", the rest of the beasts lost their leader and were soon dealt with by the Hunting Team.

He Yueji ordered to continue moving forward.

After that, the group encountered a few more battles, but as they approached the Six-armed Ancient Ape, the density of the beasts actually decreased.

The Six-armed Ancient Ape was by nature brutal, and even though in the beast tide, for some unknown reason, beasts rarely attacked each other, most still dared not approach the Six-armed Ancient Ape.

So for the next part of the journey, the pressure on the Hunting Team dropped sharply, but everyone's nerves became even more tense.

After walking for a while, He Yueji ordered the team to halt their advance temporarily and used the radio to contact Wei Cha on the other side, checking their position and speed to avoid facing the danger of confronting two Six-armed Ancient Apes alone later on.

Then, He Yueji walked over to the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group's five members.

Her gaze provocatively swept over Ma Lu, and after a full 5 seconds, she finally spoke.

"The frontal battle with the Six-armed Ancient Ape will be ferocious, so I plan to set up some traps here. For that, I'll need a team to lure that Six-armed Ancient Ape over here."

"You want us to be the bait?" Ma Lu raised his eyebrows.

"Exactly, do you have any objections?" He Yueji had already prepared to face the fury of the five members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group, in fact, she was hoping for such a thing to happen.

That way she could take action and righteously discipline these guys whom she had been displeased with for a long time, and incidentally, take revenge for the previous incident in the guild hall.

Moreover, if the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group defied her orders and did not follow her command, their reputation in the guild would also be damaged afterward.

However, Boggy's response was very simple, with just one word, "Fine."

Afterward, Ma Lu's words made He Yueji's blood pressure rise again.

"You've pondered for so long, and all you've come up with is these childish tactics to deal with us? Or do you think we would be as afraid of that Six-armed Ancient Ape as you are?"

"Quite the tone," He Yueji sneered, "instead of spouting grandiose words here, you'd better think about how to complete the mission. When the time comes, it won't matter if you die, but if you fail to lure the Six-armed Ancient Ape here, putting tens of thousands of people in the city in danger, then you will be the criminals of the Giant Curtain.

"Your father will also be ashamed because of you." He Yueji's last sentence, however, was directed at Boggy.

Boggy's expression remained very calm, "We won't fail."

She spoke with confidence because she felt the power inside her body rising continuously.

In fact, even without He Yueji's orders, Boggy was planning to take on the task willingly, because indeed no one was more suited to be the bait than them.

"Hmph." He Yueji felt like she was punching cotton but said nothing more. However, it was clear that she did not trust the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group much, as she not only ordered people to start setting traps but also prepared for an encounter.

The five members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group continued on their way. This time they were without others around them, and Ma Lu also freed up a bit, starting to use his Destroyer more diligently to blast at the wild beasts along the road.

In less than five minutes, he had generated 13 more Corpse Puppets.

As for the places behind Ma Lu where he couldn't see, 14 minutes had passed, and the Giant Claw Lord had completed its mission, turning back into a corpse. However, the sweat it tirelessly sowed had begun to harvest.

The red light was almost breaking through the sky. Ma Lu issued a movement command to the army of Corpse Puppets behind him, but those guys moved very slowly.

Mainly, they had to accommodate the ones with short legs in the team, and along the way, some Corpse Puppets reached their time limit and fell face-first.

To prevent their painstakingly assembled army from dwindling by the time they arrived, Ma Lu would give them the order to attack after every short distance, having them recruit some more able bodies from nearby to replenish fresh blood into their ranks.

Overall, the size of the army was still growing. However, when Ma Lu looked back this time, he noticed that the number of red lights was rapidly declining.

The rate of this decline clearly exceeded the natural reduction that occurred when Corpse Puppets reached their time limit and suggested they had met a formidable opponent.

Ma Lu was not worried but pleased, as there were already enough regular soldiers in the army. If he could trade some of them for a strong general, that deal would certainly be very profitable.

On the other hand, Ma Lu called on the 13 new recruits he had just gathered to lead the way, continuing their search for the Six-armed Ancient Ape.

Soon, a huge figure with six arms appeared on the sand dune ahead.

But at that moment, including Ma Lu, everyone's gaze turned to a location even further away. Your next journey awaits at mvl

There an enormous yellow wall, impossible to see the end of, was rapidly approaching from afar.

"What is that?" Ma Lu asked.

"A sandstorm." Mai Mai looked concerned.
