No one knew what Ye Zhongming was planning, but the image of this young man and the actions he had just taken left a strong impact. Whether it was the Afo Tribe, which he was already familiar with, the Gray Mountain Tribe, which he had some understanding of, or the Mountain Cliff Tribe, who were now too frightened to move, no one dared to disobey his orders.
This was a man who could single-handedly destroy a medium-sized tribe!
The large pit was quickly dug, and one after another, the bodies of copper barbarians were carried to the edge of the pit by the warriors. Their blood was poured into the pit, and soon, a massive Blood Pool began to form.
Many posthumous children watched in growing fear.
Ye Zhongming had previously been very precise in his actions, and many members of the Spirit Flash Tribe had not yet died. They were thrown into the Blood Pool, causing splashes of blood ripples.
After observing the situation in the Blood Pool, Ye Zhongming calculated in his mind and then took out the zombie virus he had previously stored from the space crystal.
Yes, he was going to use the basic puppet technique.
Moreover, he planned to create many human puppets at once!
According to the formula, creating the lowest-level Iron Corpse required three thousand milliliters of zombie virus. Ye Zhongming had previously experimented and confirmed that this specifically referred to the virus of ordinary zombies. If he replaced it with the virus from second-level and above zombies, the amount required would decrease accordingly. The virus from a grade 4 choker could even replace three thousand milliliters of ordinary zombie virus with just two drops.
In order to facilitate the future production of human puppets, Ye Zhongming had deliberately kept a significant amount of virus from the grade 3 and grade 4 zombies he had killed, which could now come in handy.
Previously, Ye Zhongming had not produced human puppets on a large scale primarily because he did not have many magic crystals at hand, nor did he have that many dying individuals. Additionally, he felt some degree of inner resistance to this method.
But now things were different. Regardless of where he speculated the exit might be, whether it was the Royal City of the posthumous children, the Temple of Dawn, or that mysterious abyss in the Night Demon Plain, none of those places could be easily accessed. Even if he did manage to get there and find an exit, he would encounter significant resistance if he wanted to leave.
So now, as long as there was even a slight method to enhance his strength, Ye Zhongming would not let it slip away. What was the creation of some Iron Corpses in human puppets worth!
The virus and magic crystals were all poured into the Blood Pool, and the once calm blood-colored surface began to boil. Ye Zhongming timely poured in all the One-Star Evolution Elixirs he had left, then quietly waited at the side.
As for how many would ultimately succeed, he himself was not very confident. After all, this was the first time he had created human puppets on such a large scale, but no matter what, as long as he could successfully create a hundred, that would not be a loss.
The blood in the Blood Pool vanished at a visibly fast rate, and the posthumous children watching let out exclamations of surprise. They had lived in this world for a very long time and had never seen, nor even heard of, such a thing.
The blood of those copper barbarians quickly disappeared. The members of the Spirit Flash Tribe that had just been thrown in all surfaced, lying haphazardly at the bottom of the Blood Pool, all with their eyes closed and motionless, not even showing any signs of breathing.
“Could they have all drowned?”
“It's possible. Just a moment ago, I saw them breathing with their eyes open.”
“Did this... kill so many people?”
“Ye gives me a sense of fear.”
The posthumous children whispered among themselves, but Ye Zhongming remained fixated on these human puppets.
Suddenly, one puppet opened its eyes. After moving its eyeballs a few times, it slowly stood up from the bottom of the Blood Pool, looked around at the surface, found Ye Zhongming, and slowly walked out, moving fluidly, though its gaze appeared somewhat vacant.
