54: Chapter 54 Puppet Maker 54: Chapter 54 Puppet Maker “Those soulless brutes!” Zhou Tian was immensely infuriated when he was driven out of his territory by a group of NPCs through their cunning schemes.

Nonetheless, considering the strength of those NPCs, he was very much vexed but ultimately still dared not directly confront them.

“What should I do now?” Zhou Tian felt somewhat lost when he realized that with his strength, he wasn’t able to resist the NPC’s invasion.

After all, if he ultimately couldn’t recover his territory, the punishment from the Blood Moon Lord was awaiting him.

“If my strength is not enough, then I’ll need more forces to support my cause!” Unable to drive off those NPCs on his own, Zhou Tian gritted his teeth in frustration and made a decision to gather help.

“NPCs are a way for us to gain merit points; we monsters always have conflicts with NPCs even in normal times.

Currently, if I give the other monsters a chance to deal with these NPCs, I believe there should be other branches other than our Beastman Clan interested in dealing with NPCs!

All I need to do now is to stir up their interest.

If I succeed, the NPCs’ attempt to take over my territory will not be so easy.” After making up his mind, Zhou Tian turned around and headed to the nearby branches of monsters…

“Who goes there?” As Zhou Tian approached a certain area, a few figures suddenly emerged in front of him, blocking his path and asking their purpose.

Zhou Tian knew the only reason they hadn’t attacked him instantly was because he was also a monster.

If it had been a player or NPC, these monsters would not have been so patient.

“I’m the leader of the Beastman and I come to meet your queen.

Could you please report my arrival?” said Zhou Tian as he saluted to those in front of him.

This time, Zhou Tian approached the Puppet House, the most powerful monster group in the novice area, a group that had long outgrown the novice level.

The Puppet House was different from other monster groups with rather unique structures.

The highest-ranking BOSS was the Doll Maker, the mother of all puppets.

Zhou Tian didn’t understand her level completely, but he had heard stories about a squad of over twenty players being completely wiped out by the Doll Maker.

Therefore, he guessed that her level could not possibly be below fifty.

Below the Doll Maker, various puppet monsters existed, including level forty Gold Puppets, level thirty-five Silver Puppets, level thirty Iron Puppets and level twenty-five Cloth Puppets.

Not counting the strength of the Doll Maker, even those puppets were considerably stronger than the monsters in other newbie areas.

They were the only monsters in the newbie area that could directly confront NPCs.

Since Zhou Tian was planning to use other monsters to restrain the NPCs, the monsters he chose had to be strong enough to fight against the NPCs.

Undeniably, in the entire novice area, besides the Puppet House, Zhou Tian didn’t have any other choices.

The puppets seemed puzzled after hearing Zhou Tian’s words.

After a moment’s contemplation, they decided to report the matter to their mother as Zhou Tian had instructed.

These puppets looked like enlarged Barbie dolls.

Though they were size-wise as big as adults, they still seemed rather odd.

Zhou Tian had seen all sorts of strange and exotic monsters, otherwise he would have been scared and shocked by their appearance.

Zhou Tian did not have to wait long.

Although the Puppet House was much more powerful than the Beastman Clan that Zhou Tian governed, his status as the Beastman leader set him apart from ordinary monsters.

Even the mighty Doll Maker showed him some degree of respect.

Within less than ten minutes of Zhou Tian sending the puppets in with his message, the Doll Maker responded and sent the puppets back with her response.

“Our Mother has asked for you, please follow us.” After saluting Zhou Tian, the puppets relayed the Doll Maker’s response and then turned around to head towards the Puppet House.

Zhou Tian didn’t hesitate.

Under the guidance of those puppets, he headed towards the Puppet House.

“The Puppet House has very substantial strength.

If all of these monsters mobilized for an attack, any NPC city would likely face some serious pressure.” On observing the vast quantities of puppets, Zhou Tian couldn’t help but marvel at the strength of the Puppet House.

Eventually, under the guidance of the puppets and with the consideration that the Beastman Clan currently had no chance against the Puppet House, Zhou Tian arrived at the base camp of the Puppet House, the dwelling place of the Doll Maker.

“I can’t believe the Doll maker lives here.” Zhou Tian had never thought that the residence of the Doll Maker would be a very common and normal straw hut.

If he hadn’t seen the level of protection these puppets were providing for the house when he arrived, it would have been hard for Zhou Tian to believe that the resident was not some weak NPC, but the top BOSS of the newbie area monsters.

Of course, Zhou Tian did feel surprised due to the simpleness of the Doll Maker’s dwelling, but he didn’t say much about it.

After tidying himself, he knocked on the door and waited for permission to enter, leaving his bodyguards outside like a professional meeting their boss.

“You are the Doll Maker?” Zhou Tian was once again surprised by what he saw.

As the strongest BOSS in the novice area, he had imagined what the Doll Maker might look like.

But no matter what he imagined, he had never thought the Doll Maker would appear as an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.
