87: As expected, this is the puppet I chose.

Deep underground, Lu Chen suddenly felt the will of his Dao Soldier constantly sending him reminders.

"They're here!" Lu Chen was not surprised but delighted.

The Dao Soldier controlled the Earth Element, and deep within the earth, it was the Dao Soldier's home ground. Anything extra appearing beneath the earth within a certain range could be instantly detected by the Dao Soldier. Moreover, the stronger the existence, the greater the Dao Soldier's reaction.

"Let's see just which few scoundrels have been secretly watching me for so long!" Lu Chen instantly switched to the Dao Soldier's perspective.

In an instant, he saw the Red Dragon Descendant with six red scales between his brows, the Deer Demon with antlers on his head, and also a Rat Demon, Lion Demon, Dog Demon, Elephant Demon, Monkey Demon, and Pig Demon.

"Dragon scales? It's the Red Dragon Descendant?!" When Lu Chen saw the red-robed Demon Clan member with six red scales between his brows through the Dao Soldier's vision, a surge of emotion rose in his heart.

Then he was overjoyed: "Excellent, excellent!"

It truly was a case of having the intention to plant flowers which didn't bloom, while planting willows without intent resulted in shade!

He had searched for the Earth Dragon Rat clan for two days without finding them, yet the Red Dragon Descendant, whom he hadn't sought, appeared before him on his own.

There was more than one Dao Embryo in the Earth Dragon Rat clan; this was why Lu Chen had always wanted to find the Earth Dragon Rat clan.

However, the Ancient Demon Clan of the Red Dragon Descendant also had more than one Dao Infant Realm expert. As Lu Chen saw it, there were a full three Dao Infant Realm experts in this Red Dragon Descendant's Ancient Demon Clan.

Among them, the one with the most astonishing aura was naturally that Red Dragon Descendant, followed by the Deer Demon and the Elephant Demon.

"Red Dragon Descendant, Dragon Bloodline! I wonder what difference the Dao Soldiers cultivated from such a Bloodline of demon beasts will have!" Lu Chen felt excited.

His Dao Soldiers were not static!

Although all demon beasts could be used as seeds to cultivate Dao Soldiers, the Dao Soldiers cultivated from those with powerful Bloodlines would have special characteristics.

The demon beasts he had used to cultivate Dao Soldiers before were all ordinary demon types, so naturally, there was nothing special; they were all normal Dao Soldiers. But this Red Dragon Descendant was definitely among those with powerful Bloodlines, and the Dao Soldiers cultivated from him would certainly be extraordinary.

"Three Dao Embryos, five Peak Xuan Fa Realm demon beasts. With my current Dao Soldiers, I can completely swallow them in one go."

The advantage is with me.

Currently, Lu Chen had three Five Elements Dao Soldiers of the same rank as the Dao Infant Realm, twenty-four Golden Armor Dao Soldiers, and eighteen Silver Armor Dao Soldiers.

The three Five Elements Dao Soldiers would block the Red Dragon Descendant and the other two Dao Embryos. The remaining five Peak Xuan Fa Realm Ancient Demons could be easily surrounded and killed by ten Golden Armor Dao Soldiers and eighteen Silver Armor Dao Soldiers. The additional fourteen Golden Armor Dao Soldiers could assist the three Five Elements Dao Soldiers in surrounding and killing the Red Dragon Descendant.

Hmm, no, I still need to keep one Golden Armor Dao Soldier by my side, just in case.

Having formulated his strategy, Lu Chen casually waved his hand.

The Dao Soldiers in front of him immediately swarmed out, instantly merging into the earth below and disappearing without a trace.

At the same moment, the Red Dragon Descendant, who was coming underground, slightly narrowed his vertical pupils: "Discovered us? There's some skill involved."

Looking at that little Human Race fellow, he was only at the Spirit Transformation Realm, but his Physical Body seemed not weak. Ordinary cultivators couldn't tell, but the Red Dragon Clan was most sensitive to the perception of vital energy and blood. This Your Highness, the Red Dragon Descendant, could clearly see that Lu Chen's Body Refinement strength was definitely not below the Profound Law Realm.

However, with this level of strength, he was still not enough to be seen in front of this Red Dragon Descendant, and he shouldn't have been able to detect the existence of their Ancient Demon Clan. If nothing unexpected happened, what detected them was most likely those 'Puppets' that looked extremely interesting!

"Little Human Race thing, I'm liking your Puppets more and more!" A smile curled up the corner of the Red Dragon Descendant's mouth, and the satisfaction towards Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers in his vertical pupils was almost overflowing.

"Remember, don't damage any of my Puppets." He reminded them again, telling the Demon Clan members of the Ancient Demon Clan to be extra careful, because as soon as he finished soul-searching Lu Chen, these Puppets would become his.

Things he liked were absolutely not allowed to be damaged in any way.

"Your Highness, rest assured, we will definitely deliver your Puppets to Your Highness without any damage..." The Deer Demon bowed and spoke.

However, before he could finish speaking, the vast Earth Element beneath the earth suddenly boiled up, transforming into thick earth dragons one after another, roaring and twisting towards them, enveloping all eight demon beasts, including the Red Dragon Descendant.

"A pearl of rice dares to shine." The Elephant Demon sneered. He raised his arm and spread his hand, stretching out his five fingers, then gently clenched them together. In an instant, the boiling Earth Element beneath the entire earth seemed to be grasped by his palm, and then it violently exploded.

"The Ancient Elephant Clan truly has no equal in controlling the Earth Element." The Rat Demon praised, giving a light but effective flattery.

However, just as the sound of flattery fell, one Dao Soldier after another fiercely charged out from the exploded earth dragons of Earth Element. Among them, the three Five Elements Dao Soldiers were the most ferocious. As soon as they appeared, they went straight for the strongest three Dao Infant Realm experts: the Red Dragon Descendant, the Deer Demon, and the Elephant Demon.

Ten of the remaining twenty-three Golden Armor Dao Soldiers separated, leading eighteen Silver Armor Dao Soldiers to kill the remaining five Peak Xuan Fa Realm demon beasts: the Rat Demon, Pig Demon, Lion Demon, Dog Demon, and Monkey Demon.

The remaining thirteen Golden Armor Dao Soldiers also all surrounded and killed the Dao Infant Realm Deer Demon. This Deer Demon should be the weakest of the three Dao Infant Realm experts, so concentrating forces to kill him first was the most cost-effective.

"My Puppets truly become more and more likable the more I look at them!" The Red Dragon Descendant's pair of vertical pupils constantly scanned back and forth over the Five Elements Dao Soldiers charging towards him. Then, he raised his hand, clenching his fingers one by one, as if squeezing the infinite power of heaven and earth into a single palm, and violently struck out.

Even beneath the earth, this punch seemed to possess the might to overturn heaven and earth. The entire earth rippled like water, undulating in layers, as if about to completely flip over.

At the same moment, the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, carrying infinite malevolent energy and the power of the Five Elements within a single punch, also struck.

The two collided, and the power of the Five Elements and malevolent energy exploded violently, surging and rolling outwards. Under the Red Dragon Descendant's punch, they all shattered, and even the Five Elements Dao Soldiers were sent flying backward, traveling very, very far beneath the earth.

"Hmm? As expected of my Puppets, interesting, truly interesting." The Red Dragon Descendant slowly withdrew his hand, but his feet retreated four or five steps consecutively. However, he instantly stood firm, and his vertical pupils were filled with appreciation, as if looking at his most beloved possessions.

These Puppets would soon, very soon, become his.

He was already impatient to soul-search Lu Chen and obtain the method to control the Puppets. Although his current injuries were not yet fully healed, forcefully using the soul-searching technique might burden his soul, but all of this was worth it.

As long as he obtained the method and secrets to control the Puppets, or even refine these Puppets, the strength of him, this Red Dragon Descendant, would definitely take a big step forward!

"You all hold them off for a moment while I go soul-search and return." The Red Dragon Descendant instructed, and immediately prepared to head straight for Lu Chen.

However, after his words fell, the response he received was the Deer Demon's miserable howl: "Your Highness, save me!"

Following that, more cries for help came: the Rat Demon, Lion Demon, Dog Demon, Pig Demon, and Monkey Demon successively let out screams: "Your Highness, please Your Highness, save us!"

In an instant, the Red Dragon Descendant looked over in shock and anger, only to see the Deer Demon covered in blood from being surrounded and killed by thirteen Golden Armor Dao Soldiers and one Five Elements Dao Soldier, looking utterly miserable. Let alone helping him hold back a Five Elements Dao Soldier, whether he could even survive was a big question.

The remaining Rat Demon, Lion Demon, Dog Demon, Pig Demon, and Monkey Demon were even more on their last breaths from being killed by ten Golden Armor Dao Soldiers and eighteen Silver Armor Dao Soldiers. In just this moment of inattention, the Pig Demon had its head smashed on the spot, followed closely by the Monkey Demon, Lion Demon, Dog Demon, and Rat Demon, who were also almost simultaneously surrounded and killed on the spot by the Dao Soldiers. The speed was so fast that he, the Red Dragon Descendant, had no time to react.

"Trash, all of you are trash!" The Red Dragon Descendant was both shocked and furious. He had been counting on this group of trash to hold off Lu Chen's Puppets so he could go soul-search Lu Chen. As it turned out, not only did they fail to hold them off, but these trash couldn't even save their own lives.

"Boom!" The Five Elements Dao Soldier that had been sent flying killed its way back again, making the shocked and enraged Red Dragon Descendant completely furious: "Two-legged Human Race sheep, do you know the 'Soul Heaven Lamp' punishment?!"
