[The quest has been updated, find the perfect Porcelain Doll]
It was at this moment that Fu Qian finally heard the quest prompt in his ear.
This time, the quest target was to find this thing? Well, that’s not bad!
But with so many, I wonder what they mean by perfect.
Fu Qian took an even closer look for a moment.
If it hadn’t been for seeing it here, Fu Qian would have thought it was a girl’s room decoration.
Appearance-wise, each doll was different.
The one common feature was that they all looked extremely beautiful and adorable, with not a single flaw on their innocent faces.
Unfortunately, at this moment, they were covered in blood and flesh, creating an extreme contrast.
The movements of the Porcelain Dolls were mechanical and stiff, but that didn’t mean they were slow!
On the contrary, these little fellas were not only swift in action but also possessed exaggeratedly strong force.
Fu Qian watched as one of them lifted up a Bone Armor that was a hundred times its own size and threw it out, snapping a nearby tree in half.
Then it turned around to continue bathing in a pool of blood plasma, tearing apart furiously with hands and feet, eliciting screams after screams.
There were more than a dozen like it, each one seeming to revel in the activity.
In less than a minute, the spider creature had been torn apart into an empty shell plus scattered fragments on the ground, completely devoid of life.
The scene was nothing short of a slaughterhouse!
Fu Qian commented to himself while he could hear the accelerated heartbeats of the people beside him, who hardly dared to breathe too deeply, obviously intimidated by the scene before them.
Including the one who had called him over, who was now pale as death, but at least somewhat calmer than the others.
This tough-looking guy seemed to be called Delin, and Fu Qian heard others addressing him as the captain just now, obviously in command of this operation.
At this moment, the Porcelain Dolls had turned the spider’s remains into a bony cradle, jumping up and down in it, quite happy.
Delin made no move, just stared dead at the scene.
After a long while, the group of Porcelain Dolls finally seemed to have had their fill of fun and began to disperse, until only one was left.
The latter was still engrossed in tearing apart without noticing that its companions had already left.
Now is the time!
With a fierce wave of his hand, an invisible, large net descended silently from above, wrapping the last Porcelain Doll and the spider remnants together.
As the huge net suddenly tightened, the engrossed Porcelain Doll finally reacted, but it was too late.
After realizing it was trapped, its reaction was extremely violent.
The net was almost transparent, and the scene inside could be seen clearly.
The Porcelain Doll, seemingly crazed, surged left and right, tearing the net into various shapes.
But the durability of the net was undoubtedly excellent, and no matter how much it struggled, it never found a way to escape.
“Go!”
At Delin’s command, several people rushed forward.
Seeing itself surrounded, the Porcelain Doll’s struggling became even more aggressive, making a noise like bubbles scraping on glass in its motions, brutally assaulting the nerves of the people.
Those in the front immediately showed expressions of pain.
Bearing the noise, one of them took out a black iron box, carefully opened a hole in the net, and placed the open box next to it.
The Porcelain Doll’s intelligence wasn’t high, and seeing an opening, it squeezed forward without hesitation and dove into the box.
The moment it entered the box, its frenzied movements rusted, instantly becoming sluggish.
Click!
The lid of the iron box clanged shut, and Fu Qian heard Delin let out a heavy sigh of relief.
“Well done!”
Watching his team members return with the box, he nodded in satisfaction.
Then, those hiding nearby began to emerge.
Fu Qian observed briefly and realized they could mainly be divided into two groups.
“`
More than half of them were wearing the same uniform as himself, almost a dozen in total.
It was clearly a team, with Delin taking the lead.
At the same time, there was another group of seven or eight people, led by a young man in his thirties.
At that moment, Delin took the metal box and handed it to the young man.
“Mr. Miyamoto, the first Porcelain Doll has been captured, please inspect it.”
“Captain Delin, you’ve worked hard.”
The young man praised with a smile, then turned to someone behind him.
“Mr. Luo, what do you think…?”
The one known as Mr. Luo was the oldest-looking person present.
His temples were already graying, and he was cloaked in a thick grey robe.
Even the young man named Miyamoto spoke to him with considerable respect.
Without uttering a word, Mr. Luo stepped forward and lifted the lid of the metal box halfway with one finger.
The previously violent Porcelain Doll now lay motionless inside, completely unresponsive.
It had to be said, the material of this doll was quite special.
It was covered in blood just moments ago, yet after struggling, it left not a single mark and was pure white as jade.
Mr. Luo bent down to size up the Porcelain Doll from head to toe, showing a satisfied expression and nodded to Miyamoto.
However, in that instant, before he could speak, the Porcelain Doll inside the box suddenly moved.
It leaped up, and though slightly slower in speed, its slender arms aimed straight for Mr. Luo’s eyes.
Was it feigning immobility just now? This thing could actually deceive people?
This sudden turn of events immediately provoked a chorus of exclamations.
Crack!
Delin, who was holding the box, reacted the fastest, closing the lid almost immediately, but it was still not soon enough.
Amidst the surprise attack, Mr. Luo remained completely composed.
As the Porcelain Doll flew towards his face, he calmly extended his right hand without flinching.
The assault of the doll was abruptly halted, as he gently caught it in his hand.
It appeared effortless, yet the immensely strong doll couldn’t move at all, only continuing to shriek.
Mr. Luo, holding the Porcelain Doll, brought it up to his eyes as if nothing was unusual and scrutinized it closely.
Crunch!
After examining it for a moment, Mr. Luo applied pressure, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of the doll.
The shrieking ceased abruptly.
The next moment, the doll was crushed into fragments, which clattered to the ground.
After sniffing his hand, Mr. Luo gave a nod to Miyamoto.
“It’s suitable, meets our requirements.”
“That’s great!”
Miyamoto was evidently very pleased with the result and turned to Captain Delin.
“We’ll be relying on you for the rest.”
“As per our agreement, besides the base fee, there’s an extra reward for each one, dead or alive.”
“Good—”
Delin nodded upon hearing this, handed over the metal box to someone behind him, and signaled him to pick up the fragments from the ground.
The latter wasn’t as unrestrained as Mr. Luo, first putting on gloves, and then carefully collecting the scattered fragments into the box.
Meanwhile, Delin’s gaze drifted unintentionally towards Mr. Luo.
It was clear that Mr. Luo’s performance had taken him by surprise.
Unfortunately, after the inspection was complete, Mr. Luo returned to the team without giving Delin any attention.
