...

As a bystander, Su Xiaoxiao naturally had the clearest view. The moment she saw the puppet person attacking again and Qin Fang seemingly in a daze, she immediately shouted from behind, trying to warn Qin Fang.

"I'm fine..."

Qin Fang was aware of the puppet person's ferocious intent to kill, but his complexion didn't change much. Instead, he showed a slight smile and calmly reassured Su Xiaoxiao.

At the same time, he slightly moved his arm, not to dodge, but to collide with the puppet person's arm, almost as if he intended to arm-wrestle with the puppet person.

Bang~~

Qin Fang's arm collided with the puppet person's arm, producing an extremely dull sound. Qin Fang felt as though he had solidly hammered his arm onto a chunk of incredibly hard steel, which shook him so much he thought all his bones had shattered...

Such a collision was one thing, but what was truly severe was the puppet person's exceedingly hard and sharp claws, which fiercely stabbed into Qin Fang's arm.

The body of the puppet person was made of North Sea refined copper, and its claws were not flesh. They were also made of North Sea refined copper, extremely hard. Although Qin Fang's defense was not bad, his flesh and body couldn't withstand such penetration, and almost instantly, the claws pierced through Qin Fang's arm...

Blood instantly spurted out, Qin Fang's arm was severely injured, it looked as if it was nearly completely torn off, a sight quite gruesome to behold.

"Fool! You fool... Do you have a death wish?"

Seeing such a scene, Qin Fang was still fine. Although the injury was severe, it was still within his tolerance, so he was not worried at all.

On the contrary, seeing this bloody scene from a distance, Su Xiaoxiao got anxious... incessantly cursing at Qin Fang, she almost wished she could rush over and slap him.

"I'm fine! Just stay there and don't move..."

Although the pain in his arm was abnormal, by now Qin Fang's tolerance for pain was quite formidable. This little pain wasn't enough to make him cry out in agony; his face was just slightly pale.

At the same time, he even managed to squeeze out a bit of a smile to comfort Su Xiaoxiao, seeing that she was about to step forward to help and get him out of trouble, he quickly advised her otherwise.

"You... You maniac!"

Su Xiaoxiao was so upset she almost wanted to cry, even though she hadn't known Qin Fang for long, the two had cooperated once before, and it was she who had insisted on opening the Jade Coffin, which led to this predicament, making her feel incredibly guilty.

"This thing isn't just any millennium ancient corpse, but a mechanical puppet person from thousands of years ago. It was created for slaughter and can only be suppressed with blood, otherwise, neither of us will escape..."

With no other choice, Qin Fang briefly explained the situation to Su Xiaoxiao. This puppet person was still uncontrollable, and if Su Xiaoxiao approached, the puppet person, being "naturally lustful", could have its hatred drawn to Su Xiaoxiao in an instant, complicating matters further.

"Eh..."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao was completely stunned, then her expression eased a bit, muttering in immense surprise, "A puppet person? That sucks blood? Are you sure it's not a zombie?"

At this, Qin Fang was taken aback, and upon reflection, he realized it made sense.

"Don't even say it, now that you remind me, I'm thinking those legends about zombies in our country are probably caused by this thing..."

Glancing back at the puppet person, whose claw was stuck in his body, Qin Fang immediately found his Life Points rapidly declining, forcing him to continuously nibble on baozi just to keep pace with the speed at which the puppet person was sucking blood...

Qin Fang suddenly understood why those tomb robbers hadn't recognized the identity of this puppet person and mistook it for a millennium ancient corpse; its blood-sucking was simply too fast.

Qin Fang's vial of blood drained quickly, not taking long to be completely sucked dry. An ordinary person would have long turned into a dried corpse, likely prompting the puppet person to seek its next victim's trouble.

Almost no one could withstand the blood-sucking of such a puppet person...

Such a vicious puppet person, it's no wonder it could serve as a war machine, directly draining human blood, leading to undoubted deaths, a type completely clean and final.

But...

Just how much blood does this thing need to consume to be controlled?

Qin Fang couldn't help but have such doubts in his mind. His Props Box wasn't short on baozi; for the mission to assassinate Sinan to go smoothly, he had made thorough preparations, bringing along more than twenty sets of Superior Soup Dumplings—his Props Box had expanded to 48 slots, and despite carrying so many blood-replenishing medicines, there was still plenty of space left.

He hadn't expected that killing Sinan wouldn't use up much, but instead, it was the encounter with this bloodsucking puppet person that proved useful.

Considering each baozi +3 Life Points, one hundred baozi in a set would make up 300 points, and more than twenty sets of baozi could replenish over 7000 Life Points.

Using the starting Life Points of a normal person, which is 10, all the baozi combined would equal the total blood volume of 700 people... And since losing two-thirds of one's blood volume is indisputably fatal, the blood of these 700 people amounted to life savings of 1000 human lives!

"I don't believe you can suck the blood of more than a hundred people at once..."

As Qin Fang nibbled on baozi, he was also secretly feeling resentful... It was now somewhat difficult for him to disengage from this situation, so he simply decided to endure it with the puppet person.

Since nurturing it with blood could control the puppet person, Qin Fang, of course, wanted to try it, dangerous as the thing was, it was also a tremendous treasure.

Not to mention whether the so-called "Corpse Oil" truly had such effects, just the puppet person alone was like providing Qin Fang with a terrifying bodyguard.

This thing was non-living; Qin Fang could directly toss it into his Props Box and carry it with him. Should he encounter any danger, by pulling it out, it could not only help kill enemies but also serve as a shield to block bullets for Qin Fang...

This kind of impenetrable bodyguard, even Master Level Fighters wouldn't dream of harming it. Although it was slightly slow in movement, it was absolutely a lethal weapon for sneak attacks!

"Are... are you okay?"

Su Xiaoxiao watched anxiously from behind.

The wound on Qin Fang's arm was quite terrifying, but weirdly enough, not a single trace of blood flowed out from the wound, and even the flesh there was pale, looking extremely eerie.

Much time had passed, and if this puppet person was really like a zombie, then in such a long duration, it would have completely sucked a person's blood dry.

Yet looking at Qin Fang, other than his face turning pale, he didn't seem like he was about to die, prompting her to ask out of curiosity.

As for letting her replace Qin Fang to be bloodsucked by the puppet person... that was absolutely impossible!

Showing concern was definitely okay!

As for anything more, they weren't that close yet...

"I'm fine, almost healed... See, it's not moving anymore, right?" Qin Fang forced a smile, trying to squeeze out some semblance of cheerfulness on his pale face, but it looked rather strained no matter how you looked at it.

He claimed to be almost better, but actually, he had no clue at heart; the puppet's bloodsucking pace hadn't slowed down at all. Instead, the pace at which his baozi were reducing was quite rapid. In just a moment, he had lost eight or nine sets of baozi, around one-third of them, equal to losing over three hundred human lives...

The puppet continued to suck blood, and Qin Fang kept enduring. If he hadn't known for certain his Scouting Skill wouldn't joke about this sort of thing, he would have given up on this crazy action long ago.

Time slowly passed, and Qin Fang's baozi were quickly depleting from the initial eight or nine sets to fifteen sets, and then twenty sets were consumed... Almost half the space in Qin Fang's Props Box that was occupied by baozi was nearly exhausted.

Qin Fang was quite anxious, as the baozi were almost depleted, but the puppet showed no signs of stopping. If it really came to that, Qin Fang would have no choice but to give up.

Without baozi to replenish blood, if Qin Fang still let the puppet continue sucking, he would really be gambling with his life—a risk Qin Fang definitely wouldn't take as it could easily be the end of him.

"Damn it, it can't be that you haven't eaten in over two thousand years and want to feast all at once from me..."

Qin Fang felt quite depressed inside and couldn't help but grumble. Unfortunately, the puppet had no life, so no matter how harshly Qin Fang cursed, it was of no use to it.

Crack~~

Just when Qin Fang was about to choose to give up, a sudden noise came to his ears, and he felt the sensation of blood draining completely stop.

His Life Points no longer decreased, and as he continued eating baozi, his Life Points quickly rebounded and were soon fully replenished...

The puppet's claw hadn't been removed from Qin Fang's arm yet, leaving it looking quite dreadful, but the puppet made no other move and just stayed quietly locked in place, like a rusted robot, its joints completely immobilized.

With the puppet ceasing to suck blood, Qin Fang's Life Points were restored to full. Although he couldn't quickly recover from the injury because the puppet's claw hadn't been removed, it no longer posed any danger to Qin Fang.

And with the puppet embedding its claw into Qin Fang's arm, this direct contact paradoxically seemed to give Qin Fang a strange, indescribable sense of a bloodline continuation... a very odd sensation!
