Chapter 1493: Chapter 1147~1148: Worthless! Controlling Players’ Bodies! (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

In the dimly lit Outer Mausoleum of the Holy Tomb, a group of players followed Jiang Dali slowly forward.

Occasionally, one or two stone statue monsters suddenly emerged from dark corners, but almost as soon as they appeared, Jiang Dali casually smashed them into fragments with a punch or two, leaving them no chance to resist.

After this scene repeated several times, the players following behind began to grow bolder and whispered among themselves.

"Why does it feel like these so-called evil stone sculpture puppets are nothing much? None of them can last more than two moves under the Great Village Chief’s hand."

"Can I do it too? Bro, that’s an illusion, it’s just that the Great Village Chief is too strong, don’t think we can manage it too. Perhaps if we tried, it would take at least dozens of rounds to knock these stone sculptures down."

"Who are these stone sculpture puppets meant for? They get knocked down by the Great Village Chief almost as soon as they appear. We just follow behind watching, unable to even touch them. We have no idea what their power is."

"Exactly! More should come, one for each person! Oh no! Ten for each person to truly enjoy ourselves!"

Rumble—

Just as some players finished speaking, the ground shook, and dust billowed from the distant dark tomb, as if a large group of stone sculpture puppets were rushing toward this side.

All the players instinctively halted.

Jiang Dali also stopped, turned around, and said solemnly to the players, "Be alert, a large group of stone sculpture puppets is approaching. Soon, this village chief may not be able to take care of your safety, and you’ll need to handle the battle yourselves."

The players, already eager, immediately rubbed their fists and prepared for a fierce fight.

"Brothers, grab your weapons!"

"Hahaha! I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. Let’s go, go, go!"

Rumble—

From the monster mouth of the corridor ahead, a large batch of stone sculpture puppets controlled by Heart Shadow suddenly rushed out—among them were Ying Country’s samurai, uniquely shaped strange beasts, and special statues resembling Shishen.

Jiang Dali intended for the players to experience the joy of fighting these Heart Shadow stone sculptures and charged at the large batch of stone sculpture puppets. However, he controlled his strength, only using the Absorption Skill to pull and bind dozens of stone sculptures before him, while intentionally letting dozens of other stone statue monsters rush toward the players.

"Goodness! The Great Village Chief single-handedly held off half of the stone sculpture puppets, no wonder he’s hogging the monsters."

"I want to say these stone sculptures aren’t enough for us all."

Upon seeing Jiang Dali encircle eight stone sculptures again, the players did not hesitate and swiftly dispersed into dozens of teams to divide up the remaining stone sculpture puppets.

"Clang! Clang!"

Instantly, sword lights and shadows fell densely on the bodies of the stone sculpture puppets.

However, the moment their attacks landed, all the players felt their arms go numb and tremble, as if their swords were striking rolling boulders, with their grips nearly breaking.

Puny, negligible damage emerged from the stone sculpture puppets’ heads, yet the immense force contained in the stone puppets’ attacks caught the players off guard, causing some to be knocked back or directly slammed to the ground.

In just one encounter, the dozens of teams formed from a thousand players were in chaos, having barely inflicted any harm upon the stone sculpture puppets, while many players themselves were already injured.

"Damn! How are these monsters so strong? Their attacks are too fierce!"

"Their defense is incredible, after all, they’re made of stone lumps. We were careless; the Great Village Chief strikes them like they’re tofu, but we’re literally hitting stone."

"Now that we’ve engaged them, we realize these monsters are actually at the Gang Qi Realm in power, but their defensive power and blood bar far surpass ours."

The players wrestled for a while, and each was shocked. Even some top-tier gang qi experts wielding famous weapons could barely carve shallow marks on some stone sculptures, which accounted for trivial damage against their long blood bars.

Hundreds of players surrounded a single stone sculpture puppet, only managing to inflict one percent damage in an instant, while the stone sculpture puppets endured the players’ attacks and caused nearly fatal injuries to some players.

Even though hundreds of breaths of time could destroy one stone sculpture puppet, who knows how many people will die in the process?

Despite the same Power Realm, such a vast gap compelled the players to lose heart, with casualties already starting to occur.

With each flash of white light and scream, the number of companions around dwindled, and the players’ initial excitement quickly dissipated, replaced by fear and frustration.

What’s the point of this game; taking on these tasks only earns us the Black Wind Village Chief’s favor, with no other benefits, yet risking death once in the process, the reward and effort are not proportional at all.

No benefit, all drawbacks, not even if the task is issued by the Black Wind Village Chief, unless more money is added!

As fear spread with the players’ retreat, some even began approaching Jiang Dali, ready to seek aid from this NPC Big Boss fighting alongside them.

Yet, as several stone sculpture puppets with astonishing momentum and seemingly larger bodies appeared ’cleverly,’ the Black Wind Village Chief was promptly entangled, and the combat situation instantly became more intense. The swirling Qi Force and Gang Wind could easily blow players away, the terrifying spectacle compelled players wanting aid to halt, cursing in dismay.
