The original repairer

Chapter 300 Puppet Master's Palace

Shi Chen removed the remaining puppet Qilin, and the initial reverse rune on one of its legs caused spiritual power to flow, and that leg immediately struggled and kicked.

He used his finger as a pen, mobilized his spiritual power, and drew a new reverse rune in the void. After two breaths, he retracted his finger and turned it into a palm, slapping the drawn reverse rune into the struggling legs of the puppet Qilin.

In less than a breath, the struggling legs stopped moving, and Shi Chen looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. This new reverse rune was indeed very effective, able to quickly block the flow of the puppet's spiritual energy.

The effect is very good, but we need to test a few more puppets before we can draw a conclusion.

There are only two guarding puppets here. There should also be puppets guarding other important places. If you search in this underwater palace, you will eventually meet them.

Standing up and looking at the palace complex, Shi Chen stepped onto the stone avenue and began to explore.

He walked slowly along the stone avenue, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings. The surrounding palaces had different architectural styles, some were magnificent, some were exquisite and unique, but each palace exuded a mysterious atmosphere.

After walking for a while, Shi Chen stopped in front of a slightly small but extremely beautifully decorated palace.

The palace's gate was tightly shut, but he could sense a faint ripple of spiritual energy emanating from within. Perhaps there were some precious items hidden within the palace.

He tried to push the door, but it wouldn't budge. Shi Chen frowned and began to carefully examine the patterns on the door. He discovered that the door was engraved with some complex runes, which seemed to form a powerful seal.

Try using the reverse rune to try and break this seal.

Concentrating his spiritual power, he quickly drew a reverse rune with his fingertips, and then pressed the rune on a key position on the door.

The moment the rune touched the door, the rune light on the door began to flicker, as if fighting against the reverse rune.

The light of the reverse rune became brighter and brighter. After a struggle, the light of the rune on the door gradually dimmed, and the door made a dull sound and slowly opened.

Shi Chen walked into the palace, which was filled with an old atmosphere.

There are several huge bookshelves in the hall of the palace, which are filled with various ancient books.

He approached the bookshelf and picked up an ancient book at random. It was made of a piece of golden silk wood that had been soaked in constant water to prevent it from rotting.

There was a layer of dust on the outside of the ancient book, but when it was opened, it was found to be intact, recording some advanced techniques on puppet making and unique methods of using runes.

Just as he was immersed in the mysteries of the ancient tome, he heard soft footsteps from deep within the palace. Shi Chen was startled, thinking another puppet must have appeared. He quickly prepared for battle and activated his spiritual energy.

A gigantic puppet emerged from the shadows of the palace. It resembled a giant lion, its body covered in a hard metal shell, its eyes flashing an eerie red light.

Shi Chen showed no fear. He immediately began to draw reverse runes in the air. The lion puppet roared and pounced towards Shi Chen.

Shi Chen dodged nimbly to the side and then slapped the reverse rune towards the puppet's abdomen. However, the puppet's abdomen seemed to have special protection, and the reverse rune had no significant effect.

Shi Chen realized that this puppet was not simple and began to carefully observe its movements and the runes on its body. He found that when the puppet attacked, some key runes on its body would flash particularly violently.

These nodes should be the key points. Starting from these key rune nodes may have miraculous effects.

Shi Chen seized an opportunity. When the puppet attacked again, he concentrated his spiritual power on his fingertips, quickly drew a reverse rune, and printed it on the key rune node flashing on the puppet's body.

The spiritual power at the fingertips activates the reverse rune and imprints it into the puppet rune node.

The puppet's movements faltered for a moment, and then began to shake slowly, like an animal twitching.

He took the opportunity to draw another powerful reverse rune and slam it into the puppet's head. The puppet's body trembled violently, and in less than ten breaths, it collapsed to the ground, losing its ability to move.

Shi Chen looked at the fallen puppet, walked closer, and checked the veins in its body. He found that the core spiritual supply vein was right on the head, and the reverse rune was stuck on the main spiritual supply vein. Without spiritual power supply, all parts of the body began to paralyze.

The reverse rune is very effective. However, if the puppet has special protection, it will be restricted, just like this puppet Lion Roar Beast, which has a special protection under its belly that blocks the reverse rune and prevents it from taking effect.

Carefully examine the belly of its puppet lion roar beast. It is a layer of skin made of spirit-blocking crystal stone, and its function is to block the flow of spiritual power inside and outside.

Was it a design by the puppeteer, or was it specifically designed? Soul-blocking crystals are very common, normally used to block the spiritual energy and spiritual veins of puppets. They have good resilience and reduce the effectiveness of spells by 30%, but are easily destroyed by physical attacks.

Shi Chen walked slowly back to the bookcase and started flipping through the ancient books on it.

Leaving the palace of the Chief Puppet Master's deputy, and stepping back onto the stone road, it turned out that the layer of spirit-blocking crystals on the puppet lion beast's belly was designed by the puppet master to lure hostile attacks.

Shi Chen attacked the belly of the puppet lion roar beast because his spiritual sense detected the soul-blocking crystal, so he chose to attack there first. This indeed attracted the enemy's attack target and effectively protected the puppet core from being attacked in the first place.

The best defended place may not necessarily be the most important place, it may be a deliberate lure.

As Shi Chen walked on the stone avenue, he thought: Since this is a puppeteer's palace complex, there shouldn't be the spiritual objects he wants. It doesn't make sense to search the palaces outside the main palace.

Go to the largest palace in the middle and see if the owner of this place is secretly hiding spiritual objects that can restore spiritual roots.

He used several escape techniques to escape among the palaces. Every time he landed in a palace, his spiritual sense could detect a faint spiritual reaction. He did not continue to investigate carefully and directly escaped to the largest palace in the middle.

As Shi Chen continued to approach the largest palace, a majestic aura hit him.

In the middle of the palace complex, the palace stands tall and majestic, like a huge mountain, its height almost piercing the darkness of the seabed.

The outer walls of the palace are made of huge black stones that emit a mysterious luster. Each stone is carved with ancient and complex patterns. These patterns seem to be traces left by time, and seem to contain endless mysteries.

The huge palace gate was closed tightly, and it was inlaid with countless sparkling gems. These gems sparkled with colorful light, like stars in the night sky.

On both sides of the palace gate stand two huge stone pillars, on which are coiled lifelike reliefs of giant dragons. The dragon's eyes are flashing red light, as if it could come alive at any time.

The area around the palace was quiet and serene. When one explored with spiritual consciousness, one could sense a faint spiritual power flowing through the palace walls, adding a touch of mystery to the palace.

Shi Chen stood in front of the palace and felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. This palace must be the master of the palace complex and hide the secret of the underwater palace.
