Chapter 2016 - 2017: Puppet Doll
"This is weird, why does that Red‑eyed Vajra keep staring at us and won't let up?" Lin Chen was starting to feel puzzled himself.To him, there were indeed some things he had to adapt to on his own, but when facing a Red‑eyed Vajra, if he couldn't come up with a plan, he'd probably end up trapped here.
He knew very well that Red‑eyed Vajras were pack beasts. Since there was an adult male Red‑eyed Vajra here, there were bound to be other Red‑eyed Vajras nearby. If he acted rashly here, he'd very likely be discovered by them.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen had to slowly calm himself down and quickly find a way to solve this trouble.
"Roar!"
Right at this moment, Lin Chen heard the roar of a Red‑eyed Vajra again. It was just that this roar was different from the previous one; it sounded softer, as if it was declaring its territory.
Lin Chen hid into the bushes, quietly observing the surroundings. His heart was extremely tense at this moment.
"Fuck! Why are there so many Red‑eyed Vajras!" Lin Chen muttered nervously.
Right now he could only draw his Tianyan Ancient Sword, waiting for an opportunity to act, and he felt a bit more pressure in his heart.
Because just relying on his own strength, it might really be hard to go head‑to‑head with that Red‑eyed Vajra.
So, Lin Chen could only avoid them.
Or rather, Lin Chen needed to find a better way to deal with the Red‑eyed Vajras; otherwise, before he even escaped this area, he'd probably have already become the Red‑eyed Vajras' lunch.
"Damn beast… why is it still wandering around nearby?"
In the bushes, Lin Chen saw, about fifty meters away, a juvenile Red‑eyed Vajra, around three to five meters tall, seemingly picking fruit from the trees.
In fact, before adulthood, Red‑eyed Vajras were omnivores, and when they were young, they were herbivores. Only after becoming adults would their temperament drastically change and they'd become carnivorous predators.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt even more uneasy inside. He needed to force himself to fully calm down here.
"Better go this way…" Lin Chen planned to head in the opposite direction.
As he walked, he felt more and more that something was wrong, because the birdsong around him was gradually disappearing. This was extremely strange.
"Why? Why is even the birdsong around here gone?" Lin Chen wondered in his heart.
Suddenly, he looked up.
He was shocked to see an adult female Red‑eyed Vajra standing right in front of him, scaring him so much he didn't dare move.
"Roar, roar!" The adult female Red‑eyed Vajra pounded its towering chest again and again, then lunged straight at Lin Chen.
"Shadow Burst Fist!"
Lin Chen could only use Shadow Burst Fist and fight the opponent desperately. At this point he really was at a disadvantage. The more he was forced into a corner here, the more he had to adapt to this kind of battle.
After he unleashed the first Shadow Burst Fist, he realized he was already unable to stand against her.
The female Red‑eyed Vajra simply swung a huge slap over, and Lin Chen's whole body was sent flying.
Lin Chen crashed to the ground, unable to hold back a mouthful of blood.
"Motherfucker, it's this strong!" Lin Chen cursed resentfully.
He had no choice and could only smash down a smoke bomb, bolting out of the jungle.
The smoke bomb could only give him a brief chance to hide, because the Red‑eyed Vajras had extremely powerful sight and smell. Once they locked onto him, it would be hard to escape.
Sure enough, when Lin Chen had escaped only a few hundred meters, he sensed the Red‑eyed Vajra's aura getting closer and closer to him.
"What do I do… what the hell am I supposed to do!" Lin Chen hesitated.
At this moment, if he used his fusion technique to fight the Red‑eyed Vajra, there might still be a sliver of a chance to run, but he was worried the male Red‑eyed Vajra would encircle him, so he could only keep fleeing.
The further he ran, the more he thought about the stuff inside his Storage Ring.
"Hurry, hurry! Let me see if there's anything that can protect me!"
Lin Chen kept hoping to find something useful in his Storage Ring. After all, he'd gotten two Storage Rings from Li Fengxing and the black‑faced man earlier, and he'd taken quite a few handy treasures from them.
"A puppet doll? Perfect! Just what I need as a stand‑in!"
From the black‑faced man's Storage Ring, Lin Chen found a puppet doll from the Western Regions. With this doll, as long as he infused it with some of his Spiritual Power, he could let it be tainted with his aura and then transform into his likeness.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help getting excited.
"Good! That's it!"
The reason he became so excited was that Lin Chen had finally found a way to escape this place. The more he had such a method, the less he would hesitate. Without it, he would definitely run into a lot of trouble in the future.
He poured his Spiritual Power into the puppet doll, and the puppet, which had originally shown no signs of life, gradually gained a bit of human air. Slowly, a familiar face appeared.
"Holy shit! Isn't that me?"
Seeing the doll slowly grow his own face, Lin Chen kept infusing it with his Spiritual Power over and over.
At the same time, the male Red‑eyed Vajra, having received its mate's signal, was also charging over from afar.
From high above, one could clearly see, on the northern outer region of the Warcraft Mountains, two streaks of rapidly moving light. These two streaks were the dust plumes kicked up by the two Red‑eyed Vajras as they sprinted at high speed.
"Another one!"
As Lin Chen was infusing his Spiritual Power into the puppet doll, he had already noticed another Red‑eyed Vajra.
This way, for him, he already had no way out. If he really ran into these troubles here, he might truly have no way to resist in the future.
After thinking through all this, Lin Chen himself started to waver.
"Screw it! We'll do it like this!"
Before he even finished infusing Spiritual Power, Lin Chen threw the puppet doll out.
Although the puppet doll had no combat ability, once it hit the ground, it turned into Lin Chen's appearance, staggering along the path, and was quickly caught up to by the female Red‑eyed Vajra behind.
"Roar, roar!"
The female Red‑eyed Vajra was furious, because earlier it had thought this human in front of it had intended harm toward its young, which was why it had silently approached Lin Chen, trying to give him a fatal blow.
It was just that Lin Chen had gotten lucky and escaped, so it hadn't succeeded.
Now that it had caught "Lin Chen," there was no way it was going to let him go.
