195: Collect materials

After dealing with the third-tier Puppet Beast, Su Qing immediately turned and pursued the fourth-tier Puppet Beast that Wang Sicong and the others had lured away.

At this point, Wang Sicong and his two companions were starting to feel overwhelmed; not only had their spiritual Qi been greatly depleted, but their movements were also becoming sluggish.

Furthermore, Wang Sicong, as the main force in luring the fourth-tier metal Puppet Beast, was now covered in wounds.

Seeing this, Su Qing's heart tightened.

She knew she had to deal with this fourth-tier Puppet Beast as quickly as possible, otherwise Wang Sicong and his two companions would likely be in danger.

Thus, she increased her speed, rushed in front of the fourth-tier Puppet Beast, quickly formed hand seals, and unleashed a series of fierce attacks.

As the four struggled against the metal Puppet, several other Cultivators, also searching for an exit, were chased by Puppet Beasts and arrived at the same location.

Seeing that those Cultivators were also being pursued by Puppet Beasts, Su Qing couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate.

It was a good thing that the four of them had teamed up against the Puppet Beasts earlier; otherwise, if they had acted alone, it would have been even more dangerous.

When those Cultivators saw Su Qing and her three companions, a flicker of surprise crossed their eyes, evidently not expecting to encounter others also being chased by Puppet Beasts here.

One of the Cultivators spoke up, saying, “Everyone, why don't we team up against these Puppet Beasts? Otherwise, none of us will likely be able to leave this place.”

Su Qing nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, “Very well, an extra person means an extra bit of strength.”

Thus, everyone teamed up to fight against these Puppet Beasts.

They each unleashed their unique skills, continuously attacking the Puppet Beasts.

This group of Cultivators was also led by a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

While fighting the metal Puppet Beasts, they coordinated their counterattacks, discussing how to find the weaknesses of these Puppet Beasts.

They discovered that although these Puppet Beasts had hard bodies, their attack methods were very singular.

As long as they could find their attack patterns, they could find a flaw and then defeat them in one fell swoop.

Under everyone's combined effort, they first focused on the third-tier Puppets, clearing out these weaker Puppets.

After all, although the third-tier Puppets were numerous, their strength was relatively weaker, and with concentrated fire, they could be dealt with quickly.

Under the attacks of the crowd, those third-tier Puppet Beasts crumbled and disintegrated.

And those fourth-tier Puppet Beasts, though powerful, were limited in number, only three of them, but under the combined efforts of the crowd, they gradually began to struggle.

As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Su Qing was naturally the leader among them.

She and another Nascent Soul Cultivator specifically targeted one fourth-tier Puppet, while the remaining two were dealt with by the Golden Core cultivators.

They planned to defeat them one by one.

Under the fierce attacks of Su Qing and the other Nascent Soul Cultivator, one of the fourth-tier Puppet Beasts finally couldn't withstand it and collapsed with a crash.

Seeing this, everyone's spirits were greatly boosted.

They continued to concentrate their firepower, launching a fierce assault on the remaining two fourth-tier Puppet Beasts.

Wang Sicong and his two companions also seized this opportunity to unleash their Spells and Magic Treasures with full force, launching a final charge against the remaining third-tier Puppet Beasts.

Under everyone's combined efforts, those third-tier Puppet Beasts were quickly cleared out.

And the remaining two fourth-tier Puppet Beasts also finally fell one after another under the fierce assault of the crowd.

After the battle, everyone seemed a bit tired.

But as they looked at the ground covered with the remains of the Puppet Beasts, smiles of victory appeared on their faces.

The Nascent Soul Cultivator leading the other Cultivators walked up to Su Qing, cupped his fists, and said, “Thank you for your assistance, young lady; otherwise, we would likely have difficulty overcoming this calamity.”

Su Qing smiled faintly and said, “No need to be so polite; we are all in the same boat, helping each other is only right.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a Cultivator suddenly spoke up, saying, “Everyone, although we have dealt with these Puppet Beasts, we still haven't found the exit.

Let's continue searching.”

Su Qing nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, “Indeed, we have wasted enough time.

Let's find the exit as soon as possible and leave this place.”

Just as everyone was about to continue searching for the exit, Wang Sicong, who was covered in wounds from restraining the Puppets, sat down cross-legged, intending to restore his spiritual power and heal his injuries.

At the same time, he also paid attention to the Materials of the Puppet Beasts that had been destroyed in this area.

Although these Puppet Beasts were merely inanimate objects refined, their bodies were made from various precious Materials.

If these Materials could be collected, it might even be possible to refine some Magic Treasures or Puppets.

Wang Sicong thought to himself and began to collect the Materials from these Puppet Beasts.

Su Qing saw this and did not stop him.

These people were not familiar with Puppets and Artifact Refining.

Moreover, they were currently in a hurry to find the exit, so although the Materials of these Puppet Beasts were precious, they were not the most important thing to them.

Thus, Su Qing and the other Cultivators continued to search for possible exits, while Wang Sicong quietly collected Materials on the side.

As everyone was searching for the exit, Wang Sicong suddenly made a new discovery.

He found that among the Materials of these Puppet Beasts, there was a faint fluctuation of starlight energy.

Wang Sicong had once seen this kind of starlight energy fluctuation in an ancient book; it was said to be an extremely precious Artifact Refining Material called Star Sand.

Star Sand contains the power of stars; if it can be integrated into Magic Treasures or Puppets, it can greatly enhance the power of the Magic Treasures or Puppets.

Wang Sicong's heart stirred, and he immediately carefully examined the Materials of these Puppet Beasts.

Sure enough, among the Materials of these Puppet Beasts, he found quite a bit of Star Sand.

Wang Sicong was overjoyed and immediately collected this Star Sand.

This Star Sand was definitely a huge fortune for him.

The Cultivators searching for the exit were apparently unaware of Wang Sicong's discovery and were still anxiously searching everywhere.

They passed through winding ruins and around broken walls, but they still couldn't find the legendary exit.

Su Qing looked at the anxious expressions of these Cultivators, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little worried.

She knew that if they couldn't find an exit for a long time, everyone's spiritual Qi would be exhausted, and it would probably be even more dangerous then.

However, Wang Sicong didn't care about these people's thoughts.

After putting these Materials into his Storage Pouch, he found a corner, sat down cross-legged to recover his spiritual power, and took a few healing Medicinal Pills.

After his spiritual power had mostly recovered, Wang Sicong stood up, dusted himself off, and intended to rejoin the group searching for the exit.

At this moment, Su Qing and the other Cultivators were still anxiously searching not far away.

As they were searching, Su Qing's eyes suddenly lit up.

She noticed a faint spiritual light flickering on a wall.

She quickly approached for a closer look and saw that the spiritual light was emanating from a crack in the wall.

Su Qing's heart stirred; could this be the exit?
