Chapter 12841 Black Tortoise Demon Puppet
Just as Ling Xiao was fighting the mantis monster, a loud shout like thunder rang out. Ling Xiao turned around and saw a man wearing black armor and holding a huge black knife suddenly appeared from nowhere.

The man's aura was so strong that it made people's heart tremble. He held the black knife in his hand and swung it out with an unparalleled sharp aura, directly cutting off the mantis monster's two knives.

"Roar--"

After letting out an angry roar, the mantis monster suddenly turned around, its huge body leaving deep scratches on the ground, and it quickly fled the scene like a gust of wind. Ling Xiao looked at this sudden change in shock. He originally thought there would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect that the monster would choose to escape.

He turned to look at the warrior wearing black armor and exuding demonic spirit. The other party's eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts. Ling Xiao swallowed his saliva, and an inexplicable awe surged in his heart. He couldn't help but ask: "Senior..."

Before he finished speaking, the black-armored warrior knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Welcome to the Demon Lord!"

Ling Xiao was stunned by this sudden action. He stared at the scene in disbelief with his eyes wide open. This powerful black-armored warrior actually called him "Demon Lord"? Ling Xiao was full of doubts and confusion. Could it be that all this was because of the magic needle?

He recalled the various changes that had occurred when he accidentally touched the magic needle, and his heart was filled with a wave of doubts. Could it be that this magic needle really had some unknown secret? And who exactly was this black-armored warrior?

"I didn't expect that..." A voice suddenly sounded in the magic needle space, breaking Ling Xiao's contemplation. The voice was low and majestic, and it was the voice of the Demon Soul King.

Ling Xiao quickly immersed his mind into the magic needle space, wanting to ask the Demon Soul King about the identity of the black-armored warrior. He asked doubtfully, "Senior, do you know who he is?"

"This is the Black Tortoise Demon Puppet that the Demon Sect carefully crafted back then!" The Demon Soul King's voice was filled with a bit of surprise and reminiscence.

"In the war that swept across the entire southern region, the Black Tortoise Demon Puppet, as the Demon Sect's right-hand man, had frightened countless enemies. However, at the end of the war, the strong men of the Holy Hall used all their strength to regard all the Black Tortoise Demon Puppet as thorns in their eyes, vowing to completely destroy them. According to common sense, the Black Tortoise Demon Puppet should no longer exist in the world, but I didn't expect to see one here today..."

When Ling Xiao heard this, he felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.

He couldn't help but ask, "Senior, how powerful is this Black Tortoise Demon Puppet?" His eyes flashed with a fiery light, and he imagined that if he could take this Black Tortoise Demon Puppet out, then his prestige and strength in the Southern Region would be unmatched.

The Demon Soul King pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The strength of the Black Tortoise Demon Puppets is far beyond the reach of those so-called strong men in the Southern Region. They have an indestructible defense and devastating attack power. Whether fighting alone or in a group, they are invincible."

"However, unfortunately, the energy of this Black Tortoise Demon Puppet has been almost exhausted, leaving only an empty shell. Unless you can obtain the legendary 'Black Tortoise Crystal', you can revive it and show its former glory again."

After hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But he also understood that the "basalt crystal stone" that the Demon Soul King mentioned must be an extremely precious and difficult to find treasure. He took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and asked: "Senior, can this basalt crystal stone be found in the South Region?"

The Demon Soul King shook his head and sighed, "Although the Southern Region is vast, treasures of this level are extremely rare. As far as I know, no one in the entire Southern Region may be able to possess it. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to make this Black Tortoise Demon Puppet move again."

"Who on earth is that green mantis monster?" Although Ling Xiao was a little disappointed, he quickly adjusted his mindset. He knew that the path of cultivation was not always smooth and he could not always rely on external forces.

Since it is impossible to rely on the power of the Black Tortoise Demon Puppet, I will use it as a motivation and focus more on my own path of cultivation.

However, the green mantis monster left such a deep impression on him that he had to find out the origin of the monster. This was not only to satisfy his curiosity, but also to prepare for future cultivation and avoid falling into similar dangers again.

The voice of the Demon Soul King sounded in Ling Xiao's mind, with some recollection and speculation: "In the era when the Demon Sect controlled the Bai Ze Continent, they sent a fleet to conduct an in-depth exploration of the Storm Ocean."

"I vaguely remember that their warship was called 'Fire Lotus Battleship', and it was extremely advanced at the time. The monster you mentioned might be some unknown creature they brought back from the Storm Ocean."

The Demon Soul King continued, "And this Black Tortoise Demon Puppet, as the warship's guard, has been guarding this place. I guess this may be a message deliberately left by the survivors of the fleet. They may hope that people in the future can understand their experiences in the past through the Black Tortoise Demon Puppet."

"The Xuanwu Demon Puppet may contain memory metal. You can look carefully to see if you can find any clues."

"it is good!"

Ling Xiao nodded, took a deep breath, and ordered the Black Tortoise Demon Puppet to stand up. Then, he gathered his spirit and began to carefully search for the memory metal. He had Tai Chi eyes, which could see through everything, so it was natural for him to be adept at tasks like searching for memory metal.

Not long after, Ling Xiao found two pieces of memory metal. He carefully took out one of them and activated it. With a weak energy fluctuation, an image began to appear in front of Ling Xiao's eyes.

He stared with wide eyes, watching the video intently. In the video, hundreds of Fire Lotus warships were like steel giants, breaking through the waves in the stormy ocean.

These warships were magnificent, demonstrating the great strength of the Demon Sect. However, just as they were deep in the sea of ​​the Storm Ocean, they were suddenly attacked.

The fleet was attacked by a group of green monsters. These monsters were different from what Ling Xiao had imagined before. Their shapes were not fixed, like a viscous liquid.

When they come into contact with other objects, they will quickly wrap around them and transform into the appearance of that object. This strange ability to transform shocked Ling Xiao.

In the video, the demon cultivators struggled to resist these green monsters. They used various powerful spells and martial arts to try to repel these monsters. However, these green monsters seemed to be everywhere and could penetrate every hole.
