"Everyone underestimated you."
Bai Yan spoke softly, his voice still flat, but tinged with genuine admiration.
"You're not bad yourself!"
Fang Han replied, then turned and scanned the hall.
The wall at the very front of the hall began to change again.
Ripples spread across it as the wall turned transparent and vanished.
Behind it, another corridor was revealed.
As they saw the scene within the corridor, both Fang Han's and Bai Yan's gazes sharpened.
In the center of the corridor stood nine Metal Puppets in a circular formation.
A tiger, a giant bear, a giant python, a giant ape, a giant eagle, a mantis, a spider, a scorpion—and in their center, there was one more puppet.
It was a Metal Puppet shaped like a centipede, dark gold in color and a fair bit longer than the Spider Puppet.
Its body was formed from dozens of interlocking metal segments, each flanked by a pair of sharp metal legs tipped with a faint blue light.
