It had been a month since the last time the corpse recovery team sent the corpses. Normally, the next batch of corpses should have arrived a few days ago, but there was still no sign of them.
Although the higher-ups of the village were very troublesome, they were still quite efficient. They had never been behind on their promises.
Even if some accident caused the delivery to be late, someone would come and explain. However, this time, not only did they exceed the delivery time, but the person who explained it was also missing. This made Scorpion very unhappy.
Perhaps it was because he had been waiting since he was young, Scorpion now hated waiting for others.
Scorpion had already finished the preliminary treatment and research of the hundreds of corpses. He found that the human puppet technique was feasible. However, the requirements for the quality of the corpse were relatively high.
The higher the level of the ninja, the more powerful and durable the human puppet made from the corpse.
Some of the human puppets created by high-level ninjas even retained some of the ninjutsu they were good at when they were alive! This discovery made Scorpion extremely excited. After all, all the abilities of traditional puppets were bestowed by the Spellcaster. In other words, puppets would never have abilities that Puppeteers did not.
But the human puppet had broken this iron rule! Just imagine, in the future, every time he fought a powerful ninjutsu wielder, he would be able to turn him into a human puppet. Not only would he be able to obtain a powerful human puppet, but he would also be able to obtain all of the ninjutsu he had learned when he was alive. Even if he could not use some special secret arts or the Ultimate Blood Sector,
It could be used by controlling human puppets. If this research could be successful, it would be a dream-like achievement.
Therefore, in order to further explore the mysteries of the Human Puppet Technique, Scorpion urgently needed more ninja corpses for research. However, a village that had done a good job actually failed. After delaying for so long, they did not send a new corpse over, which made Scorpion very annoyed.
After waiting for another day, Scorpion finally couldn't wait any longer and decided to go to the village personally to urge him. However, just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly stopped.
Scorpion did not like noisy people. In order to study puppeteering quietly, he had moved his research room (small warehouse) to a corner of the village.
This was the most remote area of the village. Normally, no one would pass by, day or night. It was very quiet. If it wasn't for the fact that the village's higher-ups were afraid that Scorpion would leak his research results and repeatedly objected, Scorpion even wanted to move his research laboratory outside the village.
Therefore, other than the staff who regularly delivered food and materials to him, only the corpse collection team would come here.
At this moment, when Scorpion heard the footsteps of someone, the first thing he thought of was that they were here to deliver the corpse. Scorpion was even excited about this! However, this excitement immediately calmed down.
This was because he realized that something was wrong. Usually, only one or two people would come to deliver the corpses. Because the corpses were sealed with ninjutsu scrolls, it was very easy to move them. There was not much manpower needed.
There were obviously a lot of people outside. According to the sound of footsteps, there were at least 30 people, and each of them seemed to be very strong! The footsteps were so light that they could not be heard.
If it wasn't for the fact that this place was secluded and Scorpion's hearing wasn't bad, he would have almost missed it. Why would there be so many skilled people here? Who could they be? Why would the village send them here? It couldn't be a ninja from another village lurking here, right?
Although Scorpion couldn't figure it out, he still acted quickly due to his ninja's sense of danger.
He was the first to rush back to his experiment table and collect all the manuscripts and papers on the table as fast as he could. He also collected the few highest-level puppets as fast as he could.
Just as he was about to put away the next human puppet, he suddenly felt an extremely powerful chakra fluctuation!
Such chakra fluctuations would only appear when a ninja used a powerful ninjutsu, and it was a strong fluctuation that could be felt even from so far away and several layers of walls! It was hard to imagine how powerful the ninjutsu would be!!
He didn't have time to think about Scorpion, and he immediately gave up on collecting the human-shaped puppets. Instead, he turned around and rushed toward a human-shaped puppet in the corner of the room.
It was Scorpion's proudest mechanical puppet. It was called Fei Liuhu, and it was a fully functional puppet.
Not only did it have many offensive methods, but its defense was also very strong. Most importantly, Fei Liuhu was a man-carrying puppet. The Puppet Master could sit inside the puppet and control it, which could greatly make up for the Puppet Master's shortcoming of not being good at close combat.
This was something that Scorpion had made out of boredom when he was researching the human puppets due to the lack of 'corpse samples'. He had originally wanted to use it to placate the village's higher-ups, but he did not expect it to come in handy now.
Just as Scorpion ran to Fei Liuhu and was about to enter the puppet's body, Scorpion suddenly realized that many puppets and puppet materials in the research room, including Fei Liuhu, were inexplicably floating! It was as if it was being lifted up by some invisible force.
Scorpion immediately understood that these things weren't lifted up, but were pulled up by a powerful suction force. Because only mechanical puppets and metal materials floated up, the human puppets were safe and sound.
Realizing this, Scorpion also knew who was performing ninjutsu outside. In Shayin Village, no! There was probably only one person in the entire ninja world who could do this.
That was the third generation Windshade of Shayin Village. He was known as the strongest Windshade, and he could use the powerful Magnetic Escape Ninjutsu. The strange scene in the research room was obviously affected by his Magnetic Escape.
Why did the third generation Windshadow attack me? Were those footsteps from Wind Shadow's Dark Group guards? What was going on?
The sense of danger from being locked onto by the ninjutsu was getting stronger and stronger. Without thinking too much, Scorpion immediately jumped onto Fei Liuhu and activated all of Fei Liuhu's defensive functions.
However, this was not enough. Although he had not seen the powerful magnetic escape scorpion with his own eyes, it was necessary to be careful since the magnetic escape was so famous.
Scorpion then activated Fei Liuhu's burrowing ability. A long metal tail emerged from Fei Liuhu's back. The tip of the tail spun at high speed like an electric drill, stabbing into the ground like a scorpion's tail hook. At the same time, Fei Liuhu's two front claws also spun like drills, stabbing into the ground.
As most of the land in the Wind Country had turned into sand, Fei Liuhu dug into the ground very quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had dug more than ten meters deep into the ground. The sealing effect of Fei Liuhu was also very good, so no sand could enter.
Not long after Scorpion controlled Fei Liuhu to drill into the ground, a huge force suddenly came from the ground and pressed the entire ground down!
This huge force was transmitted to Fei Liuhu, who was controlled by Scorpion, in the blink of an eye. The huge increase in pressure almost crushed Fei Liuhu!
In his shock, Scorpion didn't have time to think. He didn't care about the consumption of chakras and frantically transferred them into Fei Liuhu to resist this pressure. At the same time, he controlled Fei Liuhu to continue drilling deeper into the ground.
However, Scorpion underestimated the power of the magnetic escape. The huge impact was accompanied by a powerful magnetic wave attack.
When the first attack came, Fei Liuhu's sturdy defensive shell was already riddled with injuries. The huge pressure that followed caused Fei Liuhu to be heavily injured!
Not only did the magnetic shockwave cause chaos in Fei Liuhu's internal system, but it also slowed down his movements.
Scorpion, who was inside Fei Liuhu, tried his best to get Fei Liuhu out of the attack range. He could only watch as Fei Liuhu was pressed down smaller and smaller. In the end, there was no place for Scorpion to hide!
Scorpion's body was crushed into a bloody mess by Fei Liuhu's inner deck, and he fainted from the pain.
