Poison God's Heritage-Chapter 620 Crafting In The Dark

"…"

"What's wrong, Red Sun, you seem interested in the puppet he just called out," said the Lord of Lords.

"A bit… but… never mind, it's not possible," the Red Sun said as he leaned back on his chair and he drank another sip from his drink.

"Now I'm more interested in your thoughts," said the Wisest Sun.

"The puppet… he is controlling, it's similar to something I made in my younger years when we were competing for the creation of a tower."

"Oh, the Tower Creation competition, that brings back some old memories…" the Lord of Lords smiled.

"Yeah, since you won," the Red sun snorted, "Not good memories for me though," he said.

"It's okay, that was a long time ago, we didn't know much back then," said the Lord of Lords.

"Indeed, sadly I couldn't join in on the fun back then," the Wisest Sun smiled.

"Well, thankfully you didn't, otherwise even I wouldn't be able to win it then," the Lord of Lords replied casually.

"Back to our topic, what do you mean that the puppet is familiar?"

The Red Sun closed his eyes and then said, "Back then, I wanted to make a tower for a sub-first-step challenger to climb and gain rewards. It was honestly hastily made since I had a lot of other more important things to do," said the Red Sun.

"You're not speaking of the extinction of the Sea Dwellers in the northern region?"

"Let's not talk about that, it was a foolish mistake of a young person who didn't know any better," the red sun turned his head away, still feeling 'shame' from what he had done in his younger days.

"Anyways, the puppet, it seems that it has an addition to it, the white armor on top of it, yet the inside, is made of the same material I made my puppets from. However, from what I could see from here, the size is slightly different, perhaps he just created something and it coincidentally was similar to what I had made," the Red Sun said.

As they looked at the puppet some more, the Red Sun added, "Yes, it must be just a coincidence, since I didn't implement any of those… trinkets that they're using," he added.

"It's interesting to see them do this," the Wisest Sun said, "They found out a way to stop the atmosphere of the Sea of Demons from affecting them. But I doubt that they'll be able to use it well sadly," he added.

"What do you mean?" said the Lord of Lords.

"Inside the zone that Shen Bao had made for them, they can gather their Qi if they were to use Saint Qi stones, however, as Shen Bao explained to them, the moment they leave the zone, the Qi they generated will get sealed. So, they might stay inside the Zone for safety but that's limited safety, they cannot stay there forever, and their resources are finite," the Wisest Sun explained.

"That would be the norm for any other casual cultivator, however, have some faith in Shen Bao, I believe he'll find a way out of this mess," the Lord of Lords fully trusting Shen Bao explained with joy.

"LIGHT THEM UP!" I shouted.

X didn't hesitate as he pulled up the two miniguns under his arms and started blasting.

The laughing rats began screaming as the bullets bore through their flesh, ripping their bodies apart.

They soon came to realize the power of gunpowder, although in this case, it was Saint Qi-based bullets.

In almost no time the forest that was lit up in the sound of bullets and creepy snickering of rats calmed down. As the beasts chose to retreat in front of the unknown weapon.

X withdrew his weapons back and waited for orders.

"How do you feel?" I asked the puppets.

"I do not feel, my Lord, but if you're speaking of the Qi restriction, it is interfering with my sensors, I cannot see past the dome you created," He said.

"I see…"The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

I thought for a moment then took a decision, "We'll need to move, we can't stay here forever," I said.

"But, if we leave the area, we'll be back to square one," old Fu said.

"That would be true, if we leave, the dome region. But, what if we can take the area with us?" I smiled at him.

"That would be interesting to see, however, I lack the knowledge to make that true…"

"But I know how to," I said as I used one of my hands to write more inscriptions on a talisman.

After I was done, I slapped the talisman onto a saint Qi stone that will keep the barrier up while exhausting itself instead of me using my own Qi.

"This should buy us a few hours as I work. X, if anything gets close shoot it, we can't afford to get our protection damaged."

"As you command, my Lord," he said.

"You're making a smoke screen?" asked Old Fu.

"Yes, I can't both upkeep the barrier and protect us and work on what I need to work on to leave this area. Also, this is a blessing in disguise," I said.

"You mean the fact that we're trapped here?"

"The fact that we realized that we can combat the Qi seal. Anyway, I'll need to work now, give me some space," I said as I began pulling all sorts of tools and materials from my holding bag.

The first item I pulled was my damaged hoverboard. I have yet to fix this thing, and seeing that I'm unable to use the Lord of Lords pagoda even in this area, fixing it completely will be a nightmare.

Forcing the hoverboard to slow our fall from the massive hole caused the reactor to fry itself and the Saint Qi crystal inside the reactor to be completely exhausted.

I'll need to replace it, and then repair the damage.

With many beams of steel pulled out and large sheets of reinforced metal all around me, I began repairing and replacing the hoverboard's missing bits and pieces and created a new frame around the hoverboard.

I installed a new Saint Qi crystal repaired the fried wiring and had to redo almost all of the inscriptions from scratch since they were also affected.

That took me the majority of the day to fix.

and during that time, no attack on our barrier happened, but the laughter of those creepy rat like creatures returned.

X shot a few warning shots that calmed them down, however, they were clearly getting more courageous.

The barrier since I wasn't personally keeping it was nothing more than a piece of glass protecting us, it was just for show. The real threat was X. And I needed him to remain a threat to the beasts.

I began by cutting and piecing the beams and sheets of reinforced metal around the hoverboard to make a large platform that could carry all of us.

Once I was done with the primary shape of a massive square platform that had railings on the side, I installed several of the miniguns I had in my inventory on the platform.

These weapons are irrelevant and completely useless to use against cultivators, yet against beasts that can't use Qi to protect themselves, they will hurt or at least make the beasts to back away due to their loudness.

Once I was done, I placed several other minor Qi generators underneath the platform, this will help offset the effort that the central hoverboard will need to carry the entire platform with the people above it.

Several hours went by before one of the rats was brave enough to walk up to the barrier and take a swing at it.

X made sure to empty two chains of bullets into the creature's face to prove a point.

And this made the rest of the rats back off. However, the rat had already swung at the barrier and exposed how weak it became.

I had one of two options now, to either stop and protect the barrier or continue my work.

If I were to continue and one of these creatures decided to attack again, it would break the barrier and the entire inscriptions and work I had done would all go up in smoke as it would be once again affected by the atmosphere.

And that almost happened, as a couple of rats came charging in, yet a white shadow flashed before us and landed on one of the rat's head.

It looked like a cat, with beautifully white fur, eyes as red as blood, and jaws that seemed developed to devour and eat.

The feline creature simply tightened its small paws together, and the giant rat's entire head burst open and sprayed against the barrier.

I grinned as I saw the other rat immediately screech and run away while the white feline chased after it.

"Kids do grow fast don't they," I muttered.

"What the hell was that?" asked the captain.

"That was the Dark Beast, it seemed that it is enjoying itself here," said old Fu.

"Yeah, I guess Kyu is happily feasting in the Dark Garden. Good, she would buy us time. Alright let me finish this up,"
