Chapter 390
Chapter 390 The Puppet
The location given by Bai Yu wasn’t far, but it had already left the urban area, reaching the suburb. With the high-rise buildings no longer in the way, the view suddenly became much clearer.
Along the way, there were still quite a few demons, but to Xia Xinyan and her group, they weren’t much of a hassle; after all, everyone here was powerful enough to fight their way through.
When they arrived at that place, before they even made a move to find anyone, the other party contacted them first.
Using that flashy guy’s walkie-talkie—
“You lot have some skills.”
Hearing this, Ling Mo picked up the walkie-talkie and responded with a smile, “Flattery, flattery! Since we’ve already made it here, why not come out and meet us?”
“Heh,” the man replied coldly, “First think of a way to stay alive.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a furious roar suddenly echoed from ahead. Everyone turned their heads to see a giant emerging from behind a nearby building.
It was a familiar face—the six-armed giant baby they had encountered in the village.
However, now this giant baby seemed to have grown considerably; it was about five meters tall before, but now it was almost twice that height.
The fat guy was left dumbfounded: “What the hell… It grew that fast after taking hormones!”
Ling Mo also put down the walkie-talkie: “The guy on the other side hung up.”
Xia Xinyan immediately asked, “Bai Yu?”
“Right under that fat guy… probably underground,” Bai Yu seemed a bit uncertain, “That signal just now was a bit garbled; the other side likely used some jamming technique, so I’m not too sure… But it should be down there, is there a sewer?”
“I’ll go take a look.” Bai Yan dropped a line, not waiting for anyone else to respond, and rushed off towards that direction.
The fat guy was shocked and reached out to stop her: “Hey, wait! Don’t be so hasty! Damn!”
But he couldn’t stop her.
The six-armed giant baby charged straight at Bai Yan, but her speed was extraordinary; the giant couldn’t even touch her clothes as she zoomed past, disappearing into the narrow alley, seemingly trying to find the person behind this.
Seeing this, Xia Xinyan also dashed after her: “Let’s go take a look.”
Ling Mo followed suit, and the fat guy and the others could only follow close behind.
However, this time, the six-armed giant baby was not going to be easy to handle. Just as Xia Xinyan and the others were about to cross paths with it, it suddenly let out a roar, its muscles began to tremble violently, even glowing a hot red as if it were being roasted.
At the same time, its speed increased several times, blocking the entire path with its six arms, making it difficult for Xia Xinyan to break through.
Mainly because if they tried to get too close to the buildings on either side to break through to the rooftops, the giant would just tear down the buildings—many residents were sheltering inside, and doing so would mean harming innocents, so they could only confront the monster head-on in the street.
“Let’s just kill it!” The fat guy couldn’t hold back any longer, “Being fat makes you tough, huh? Damn, can you at least have a bit of morality?!”
Saying this, he turned to Ling Mo: “Old Ling, it’s your time to shine.”
Ling Mo frowned slightly: “Not so easy.”
The weapon ban buff was still in effect, and with houses on both sides, they were quite restricted. Without being able to use mecha or high-powered explosives, there weren’t many good methods to quickly deal with this giant baby.
At that moment, Xia Xinyan approached Ling Mo and whispered, “Mo Mo, have you ever tried manifesting a mecha powered by magic?”
If mechanical ones were no good, then why not use magic?
Ling Mo paused.
He really hadn’t considered that.
But Xinyan’s suggestion made him search his mind for a manifestation list and he found something similar—however, magical-powered giants weren’t called mechas; they were called puppets.
Apart from not being able to mount tech-based weapon systems, puppets could still accomplish most things that mechas could.
No sooner said than done, he took two steps back and said solemnly, “You all help me buy some time; I’ll give it a try.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, numerous white lines appeared behind him.
Unlike mecha, where he already had existing products to reference, the puppet was his first attempt at manifestation, and he was trying to figure out all the needed functions for the first time, so it naturally required a bit of time to manifest.
The fat guy stared at the approaching six-armed giant baby, swallowing hard: “Damn, how do we buy time?”
He had already tried blasting that thing before, but its defense was insane; he had bombed it several times without much effect, only tiring himself out, so now, watching that thing charge, he really was a bit on edge.
Little White obediently sent a bunch of beast-eared girls to the giant, but they got smashed away with a punch as soon as they flew up, basically committing suicide for a tiny bit of damage.
However, it seemed those beast-eared girls took little from her, and they didn’t show any visible strain.
Just as Xia Xinyan was about to step up and create some distractions, Monica suddenly approached her and whispered with a smile, “Need me to help?”
Xia Xinyan thought for a moment and nodded, “Yes.”
She rarely saw Monica take action and had mentioned before that she didn’t want Monica to intervene frequently, as it could lead to dependency, so Monica generally left them alone. But if this girl offered to help, Xia Xinyan certainly wouldn’t refuse.
“Alright,” then, Monica lightly raised her right hand and made a gun gesture at the charging monster, quietly adding sound effects, “Bang.”
This seemingly childish action caused the monster to stagger back several steps, ultimately falling down.
The fat guy jumped in surprise: “What the hell?!”
So strong?!
At that moment, Ling Mo’s manifestation was also successful—behind him appeared an enormous puppet, towering at the same height as the giant.
The puppet’s limbs and joints had no physical connections; everything was linked by magical power, and the body was entirely hollow, only displaying numerous magical arrays etched inside.
Ling Mo jumped onto the puppet’s body, and multiple magical arrays began to merge into it.
Then, controlling the puppet, he slowly pulled out a gigantic… magical rocket launcher.
