Chapter 96

"Even if you hide your strength, what does it matter? I have prepared so much to deal with you, how could I let you continue to act so recklessly." Without paying attention to the doll maker's pursuit, when Zhou Tian retreated to a certain position, he not only stopped but also turned around to declare war on the doll maker.

As Zhou Tian's words fell, the counterattack he had prepared also unfolded at that moment.

Just as the doll maker's figure appeared near Zhou Tian, before she could take any action, several arrows streaked by, and the doll maker, who was about to casually deal with Zhou Tian, was directly shot to the ground by those arrows.

"This is... equipment!" When the doll maker saw the arrows that had just injured her suddenly disappear, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The doll maker had seen monster equipment before. After all, the Blood Moon Overlord, while not generous in other aspects, was quite generous to the bosses below. Bosses who had achieved great deeds often received monster equipment as rewards. Although there wasn't much monster equipment in the beginner area, the doll maker, given her status, had still seen quite a bit.

However, while the doll maker had seen a lot of equipment, she had never even heard of arrow-type equipment.

Clearly, although the doll maker had some strength, she didn't know how to create equipment. And while some of the monsters above had created arrow-type equipment, not only were there very few who could do such a thing, but even if they did create it, given the special nature of arrow-type equipment, they probably wouldn't give it away.

Therefore, due to various reasons, the doll maker was so surprised after being attacked by Zhou Tian's subordinates.

However, after being attacked by Zhou Tian's subordinates, the doll maker was only slightly surprised. After the few orc arrows disappeared, she stood up as if nothing had happened, clearly the orc arrows had not caused her any harm.

However, although she was not injured, when she stood up again, the doll maker did not seem to have the intention of taking down Zhou Tian in one go. After glancing at the orcs surrounding her, she shouted at Zhou Tian, "Beast King, what do you mean by this? I have always treated you well, and you treat me like this today, it's a bit too much, isn't it!"

"Too much? I don't think so!" Seeing the doll maker's performance, Zhou Tian pursed his lips and directly mocked, "You don't need to pretend anymore. I'm not one of those fools who can be deceived. I believe that everything has been part of your plan. Although I don't know why you did this, it's clear that everything I have today is the result of your guidance."

"Then what you're doing now is even more wrong. Your achievements today wouldn't have been possible without my help. Don't you think you should thank me?"

"The territory occupied by the doll house isn't very large, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not stupid. Normally, the strength of monsters is tied to the territory they occupy. Your doll house only occupies such a small territory, yet your strength far exceeds all other monsters in the beginner area. Isn't that strange?"

"Who knows?" Hearing Zhou Tian's words, the doll maker's expression froze, but she quickly replied as if nothing had happened, "If I say I have other territories outside, would you believe me?"

"Believe you? You must be joking."

"Then there's nothing I can do about it." Saying this, the doll maker's figure suddenly disappeared from where she was, and when she reappeared, she was already in front of Zhou Tian.

"Please die!" With a flick of the threads in her hand, the doll maker prepared to strangle Zhou Tian with the threads, just as she had done with the orcs.

Originally, with the doll maker's strength and abilities, she should have no problem killing Zhou Tian. But in reality, just as the doll maker was sure her attack would kill Zhou Tian, and even her face showed a confident expression, the threads in her hand were easily broken by Zhou Tian.

"How is this possible?" The doll maker was very clear about her abilities. Under her control, not only could she cut enemies, but she could also destroy ordinary weapons and equipment as long as they didn't have indestructible properties. Given the toughness of the threads, the fact that Zhou Tian could break them so easily was indeed surprising.

However, the doll maker had no intention of letting Zhou Tian off.

Just as she regained her composure, the doll maker didn't have time to investigate why the threads broke. Seeing that Zhou Tian was about to retreat, she quickly used her abilities, connecting several orcs with threads, and prepared to use them to attack Zhou Tian.

But...

"What's going on?" When the doll maker discovered for the second time that her threads were easily broken by the other party, if she couldn't see the problem, she wouldn't have survived until now.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the doll maker couldn't figure out why her abilities, which were not invincible but had no obvious weaknesses, were being repeatedly nullified by Zhou Tian.

"It's like this." At first, the doll maker didn't pay attention, so she couldn't understand why her abilities suddenly became ineffective. But when she truly focused, with her strength, she easily saw through Zhou Tian's methods.

"The threads fear fire. Your abilities have this weakness. Now that I have collected a large amount of fire-type equipment, see how you can use your abilities." Knowing that the doll maker, with her strength, could easily discover his methods if she observed carefully, Zhou Tian had no intention of hiding. Before the doll maker launched another attack, he confidently revealed his preparations.

"You don't think a little trick like this can defeat me, do you!"

"Then you think my preparations are not enough?"

"It seems you have other preparations!"

"Why don't you try and see?"

Back and forth, Zhou Tian and the doll maker, separated by several orcs, chatted at that moment. If it weren't for the tense atmosphere created by the surrounding orcs, anyone who saw them might think Zhou Tian and the doll maker were good friends!

And just as they were chatting, the doll maker suddenly lost her temper.
