In the jade box, there was also a small monkey doll that looked similar to these two wooden tigers, and it even held a small knife-like inferior magic tool in its hand. Was this little monkey also a puppet beast? What was the purpose of this puppet beast, what use could it be put to? For a moment, many questions flooded Zhao Di's mind, and he had never even heard of the name "puppet beast" before.

  "Weren't you, Fifth Brother, unfamiliar with puppets before?" Xi Feng asked back.

  "Yes, I don't know what its wonderful use is?" Zhao Di admitted. His experience in the Xianxia world was very limited, and most of it came from some ordinary classics.

  Xi Feng smiled and said, "This Di Er is quite knowledgeable, but he's not one for many words, so let me explain. These puppets come in all shapes and sizes, from beast-shaped ones like the wooden tiger to human-shaped ones that mimic people. Puppets are a bit like magical instruments, but also similar to the spirit beasts that cultivators tame. They require spirit stones to provide them with spiritual energy, and once the stone's energy is depleted, they need to be replaced or they can't be used. As long as the cultivator controlling it gives an order, it will carry it out without hesitation. This time, we'll use them to distract most of the Blood Shark's attention."

  "This wooden tiger is only at the level of a mid-stage cultivator in the Refining Qi period, and its price isn't too expensive. It's not very useful in ordinary times, so it's just right to use it as cannon fodder this time!" Xi Feng said, then turned to the apathetic young man and said: "Di Er, try making this wooden tiger puppet move extremely fast."

  Di Er nodded, and without seeing any movement from him, the two wooden tigers beside him suddenly leapt out in all directions, each leap covering a distance of over 20 feet, which was quite swift.

  "This puppet beast looks very interesting, I wonder where can I buy it?" Zhao asked with a stirring in his heart.

  Xi Feng replied, "Low-grade puppets are not expensive, but they're not very useful either. They're usually just used as cannon fodder. Puppets that can bring out the power of a foundation-building cultivator are even more expensive than top-grade artifacts, so there aren't many people who use them. So, puppets aren't particularly common in Xingchen Sea either. Only places like the big and comprehensive Bao Fang Market on Peng Lai Fairy Island have them for sale. I've heard that within the jurisdiction of Fang Zhang Fairy Island, there's a sect that specializes in researching puppetry, but I don't know much about it."

  "Qianji Gate!" Di Er suddenly said these three words without having spoken up until now.

  Xun San also said: "Right, it's the Qianji Gate, a sect that mainly uses puppets as its primary means. Disciples below the foundation-building period are extremely powerful, but high-ranking cultivators who have formed their elixirs and above are very rare, making it a medium-sized sect."

  Zhao secretly kept this sect in mind. To others, puppets might just be assistants or cannon fodder with very limited uses, but he had thought of an extremely clever use that could allow his strength to suddenly rise to a terrifying level!

  After a while, Hongchen had already set up the Three Yang Blazing Fire Array. Xifeng sprinkled some fishy-smelling liquid on the two wooden tiger puppets, and then several people hid inside the array.

  Two wooden tigers seemed to be playing, constantly jumping and running around the law array.

  Less than half a time later, on the sea surface not far from Coral Island, a giant fin over ten zhang long emerged, rapidly approaching Coral Island. The speed at which it cut through the waves was even several points faster than Zhao Di and the others flying through the air!

  “Bang!” A loud noise, a shark monster with a body length of over 30 feet, with countless fist-sized nostrils on its big mouth, and an extremely ugly appearance, jumped out of the sea. Such a huge creature without wings was actually floating in mid-air without falling, and under the constant shaking of its belly fin and tail, it flew at a relatively fast speed towards the two wooden tigers on Coral Island.

  Two wooden tiger puppets jumped into the range of the law array, one on the left and one on the right, then constantly leaped and fled.

  Although the Blood Shark was a fifth-level demon beast comparable to a Jindan stage cultivator, its spiritual intelligence was too low. It could clearly sense that there were other living beings on the island, but it didn't care and simply went crazy, opening its huge mouth to bite at the wooden tiger, quickly entering the range of the spell array.

  "Take action!" Xi Feng shouted in a low voice, while casting a spell into the magic disk in his hand.

  A red light shield covering a range of several hundred feet appeared in the center of Coral Island, just enveloping the five human cultivators, including Shi Xuehai, Mu Hu and Xi Feng. At the same time, the red light shield also evolved into fist-sized red flames that kept flashing.

  The Blood Shark was slightly stunned, and its instincts made it slam its massive tail heavily onto the red light shield. The loud crash caused the red light shield to tremble violently for a moment before returning to normal. Apparently, this kind of attack would not pose a threat to the law array for the time being.

  The bloodthirsty shark, which had not been destroyed by the red light shield, did not continue to ram, but instead opened its huge mouth and a whirlpool-like gust of wind sucked out. A wooden tiger that was about to escape was completely unable to move forward under the sudden suction of the giant shark, and after struggling for a few moments, it was rolled into the giant shark's mouth.

  Zhao Di's seven or eight red light spots were also rolled into the shark's mouth along with the hurricane. Zhao Di had originally intended to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the shark's eyes and other vital points with his flying needle technique, but in this hurricane, the flying needle technique was almost out of control and difficult to manipulate.

  At this time, the Three Yang Blazing Fire Formation also launched its first wave of attack, a piece of flame about one zhang wide rushed towards the demon shark.

  From the numerous ugly nostrils of the bloodthirsty shark, columns of air shot out, easily dispersing the sea of flames.

  Not only that, but even the flying needles that had already entered Zhao Di's mouth were blown out. Zhao Di hastily manipulated the flying needles to move away from the wind pillar, and only then did he regain control of the flying needles.

  Xun San, Hong Chen, Xi Feng and others also took out their magic tools and attacked the demon shark. The demon shark sucked in its mouth, wanting to suck these things into its mouth. Several people were shocked and quickly manipulated their magic tools to avoid the whirlpool of wind. If they were sucked into the demon shark's mouth and bitten by those terrifyingly long sharp teeth, even top-grade magic tools would be severely damaged.

  Fortunately, the demon shark did not mainly target the few artifacts, but instead deviated in its direction and also rolled another wooden tiger into its mouth. The demon shark was extremely satisfied, swallowing the body of the wooden tiger with a big gulp, suddenly letting out a miserable cry like that of a wailing baby.

  Two red lights shot out from its eyes, and the demon shark's two eyeballs each had an inch-sized hole, with fresh blood flowing out of them, suddenly unable to see anything.

  It turned out that Zhao Di had taken advantage of the demon shark's unawareness and secretly hid two flying needles inside the wooden tiger puppet. When the demon shark bit into the wooden tiger, he manipulated the two flying needles to pierce towards the demon shark's eyes from the inside out. The scales covering the demon shark's body were exceptionally sturdy, making it difficult for even top-grade artifacts to break through, but its internal body was just as soft and weak against the flying needle attack, allowing Zhao Di to successfully launch a sneak attack.

  The ferocious shark, with its eyes severely pained and unable to see, became enraged and, relying on its sense of smell, made a fierce dash towards Zhao Di and the others, biting wildly.

  The crowd took out various defensive artifacts such as black shields, golden copper plates, and red silk scarves to hinder the movement of the demon shark. At the same time, they dodged and dispersed flexibly, making it impossible for the demon shark to attack them even though it couldn't see anything.

  "Puff puff" two sounds, Zhao Di once again took out two flying needles, piercing through the upper jaw of the demon shark.

  The two yellow flying knives of the Red Dust and the blue long spear of Xun San also found a suitable opportunity, avoiding the sharp sword teeth of the demon shark, and slashing its face with a burst of crazy slashes, instantly cutting it into a bloody mess.

  After being severely injured by the shark, it became timid and used its huge dorsal fin to constantly collide with the red light shield, wanting to break through and escape.

  But just at this moment, the habitual wind that had never been suitable for taking out his mobile phone finally made a move, using the Flowing Star Hammer technique to heavily smash onto the head and neck of the demon shark, actually smashing open some scales in this area, revealing a fist-sized blood hole, and the body of the demon shark also paused for a moment.

  Hongchen's flying knife and Xunsan's long spear worked in perfect harmony, slashing down towards the blood pit. With one swift motion, they split open the shark demon's skull by more than half! The shark demon let out a wail like an infant, crashing heavily to the ground. With a deafening crash, its massive body actually caved in the surface of the coral island by several inches.

  This is the first level 5 demon beast to be killed by the five of them, and with sufficient preparation, it doesn't seem particularly difficult. As they watch the giant shark fall, everyone reveals an excited expression.

  "Finally dead, this fifth-level demon beast is indeed durable. If not for Old Five's sneak attack, I'm afraid it would have been impossible to defeat it! How can its scales be so hard? My Mandarin Duck Double Blades are renowned for their sharpness, yet they couldn't even cut through them!" Hong Chen let out a long sigh and walked forward to take a closer look at the demon shark's extraordinary scales.

  "Be careful!" Zhao Di and Xi Feng shouted simultaneously!
