Becoming An Ancestor In Another World From This Day On

Chapter 262: Strange Tentacles

“Just remove the energy beast core.”

Hearing the reminder behind him, Ron’s heart skipped a beat. One end of the Demon Binding Ropes which had wrapped around the wooden bull suddenly stood up and nimbly poked into the wooden puppet creation to search around.

The struggling wooden bull suddenly froze and stopped moving.

At the same time, with a click, a wooden box popped out from the back of the wooden bull’s neck. The Demon Binding Ropes probed around and took out a level-6 beast core.

The three of them walked over to take a look. Dick took the beast core from the Demon Binding Ropes and found that there were cracks on the beast core. There was not much energy left in it.

After putting away the wooden bull puppet, Dick became excited and said with a smile, “Quick, go and take a look in front! There might be more!”

After leaving the entrance of the cave, the three of them continued forward to explore. Harris looked at the bloodstains on the sides. It seemed that many people had come here previously, but they could not deal with the puppet creation… Now, in just one exchange, it had been taken down by the two clansmen of the Nicholas family.

If he were to attack, although he would be able to destroy the wooden bull, it would be difficult for him to keep the wooden bull intact.

Of course, the reason why it had been so easy to take it down was mainly because this magical weapon could restrain the wooden bull.

Ever since they entered the mountain, the three of them could not exercise their magical power to detect objects. Under the interference of the magic formation, they could only sense things about a hundred meters away.

The fluctuations of magical power here were even more chaotic and turbulent. It seemed that many broken magic formations were affecting each other, like several fragments of a broken realm intertwining in the air. If one were to forcefully use the magical power in one’s body to search, it would even injure the soul in one’s body.

Without exception, the few rooms closest to the entrance had all been wantonly destroyed. Light sources shone everywhere in the cave, so what the naked eye could see had not been affected.

Behind the ruins, a large and spacious place appeared in front of the three of them. The reason why it was so spacious was entirely because the ground in front had already collapsed, revealing several layers of space below.

......

Below were layers of space, and above was not much different. A large portion of the ceiling had also shattered, and there were also several layers of space.

The mountaintop had obviously been hollowed out… Halfway up the mountain, in the upper and mid sections of the buildings, there were naturally stairs which connected them up and down… However, it was obvious that they had not been used by the intruders who had all chosen to break through the sky and the ground.

Through these fractured spaces, it could be determined that each level had been used by the Divine Mage for different functions.

On the floor where Ron and the others were currently, they could smell the strong medicinal fragrance wafting from the upper levels. It was obvious that a large amount of magical medicine had been accumulated above, but it was likely that currently only the shattered vessels of medicinal liquid and powder remained where they were.

In these fractured spaces, more than ten Great Archmagi above level-5 could be seen.

They were all in an intense battle. There were Magi killing each other, and there were also mechanical puppets fighting fiercely with the Magi. The number of puppet creations was also extremely large!

In front of Ron and the others, they could see three puppet creations attacking a Mage. Each of them was as strong as the wooden bull!

Moreover, there were many scattered puppet parts and puppet creations in the ruins of the building!

Could it be that… this Divine Mage was also a Magic Puppet Master?!

This thought appeared simultaneously in the minds of the three of them. The light in Dick’s eyes was shockingly bright, and the smile on his face was unrestrained.

It was as if he had seen a figurine, a big baby, and his wife. He wished he could hug them on the spot!

Just as the three of them were scanning their surroundings, a Mage flew in their direction. Behind him was a puppet creation that looked like a giant alligator. It was covered in black iron, and its surface was densely covered with hooks. There were also many dark brown pieces of bloody flesh on it!

“Please help me, my lords. I’m willing to give half of the treasures I have obtained as my gratitude!

The Mage, who was dealing with the giant alligator puppet in a panic, even shouted for help in fear. He seemed to be exhausted.

After the cry for help, a beam of holy light suddenly streaked across his head. He was stunned for a moment and almost had a piece of his flesh taken off by the alligator’s hooks.

Under his shocked gaze, the holy light landed on the top of the giant alligator puppet and bound it tightly. The mechanical puppet, which had been as violent as a level-6 ferocious magical beast, could only struggle in vain. Soon, the giant alligator puppet stopped moving.

“Isn’t this too…?!”

The Mage, who had dodged in a hurry, was stunned on the spot. The shock and disbelief in his heart had reached its peak… and he felt a little ridiculous.

The giant alligator puppet, which had forced him into a desperate situation, had actually been dealt with so easily?!

How many seconds had it been?!

Dick’s figure flashed and he landed beside the giant alligator puppet, which had already had its beast core’s energy extracted. He smiled and kept the puppet creation. He had obtained another one!

Of course, he could not refine or activate these mobile magical treasures and puppet creations now. However… he could also learn the special techniques he needed in the future.

In any case, he would keep them away for now. Later on, he would search for the related ancient secret manuals in the ruins of the Magic Puppet Master.

He had to find these secret manuals, study them thoroughly, and master them completely!

Dick’s heart was full of anticipation, but the Mage who had called for help earlier did not look right. His footsteps shifted slightly…

“Swoosh—”

A strange movement came from behind him. The threat of death had already descended on his head. His expression changed drastically. He circulated all his magical power under his feet and was about to dodge…

“Pu!” A sharp point pierced his entire chest.

A tentacle had quietly appeared on the wall behind this person…

The protective shield around him was useless!

At this moment, even Ron and the others could not help but be shocked. They had not sensed the existence of this tentacle-like monster earlier!

It was only when the tentacle struck that they sensed a hint of abnormality, but… they did not even have the time to give a warning.

After piercing the Mage and swallowing a life, the tentacle retracted with a swoosh. The Mage was brought to the ground like a dead object; he had died!

The corpse of the Mage, who had died aggrieved, underwent another strange change in an instant. In the blink of an eye, sinister black veins crawled all over its skin. Immediately after, its entire body rotted rapidly. In just a few blinks of the eye, the corpse had turned into a pool of black blood…

That tentacle monster’s attack was actually poisonous!

Only then did Ron and the other two suddenly realize that there were also several pools of black blood here!!

It turned out that those Magi had all been killed in such a bizarre manner!

Not only that, after the tentacles had retracted, the faint aura that had been left on the wall also vanished without a trace!

Dick frowned; he was shocked and puzzled. “Those strange tentacles… are also puppet creations?!”

Harris’ expression was grave. He carefully probed with his magical power, but he could not find the intrigue of the strange tentacles… His heart suddenly shrunk, and he instinctively retreated a few meters.

“Chi!” The moment he dodged, a hole was pierced in the ground.
