With Lance's firm pace, spiders along the way scattered one after another.

"The undead puppet master cannot leave their control too far, this is their fatal hole." Lance's heart gradually calmed down.

If the undead puppet master can hide and still easily control these spiders to attack them, then they have no chance of winning.

Fortunately, this situation did not happen, and they still have hope of escaping.

...

After passing the nest formed by the fourth small building, an ancient hot air balloon was quietly tied there on the clearing ground.

"This is..." Martha looked at the hot air balloon with some curiosity.

"It's a hot air balloon," Lance said.

Martha was speechless. She put away her staff, and used the numb light before, which made her feel a little exhausted, and her face looked particularly pale.

"I know it's a hot air balloon, Mr. Lance." Martha asked weakly, "But do you want to drive this hot air balloon out of here?"

Alice also looked inquiring.

Lance shrugged and asked, "Why not?"

"Tell me you're kidding." Alice said seriously: "The sky above the Puppet City is a no-fly zone, and you also saw the end of that birdman."

"That's true." Lance came to the hot air balloon and wiped the dust on it. To his satisfaction, the hot air balloon was preserved intact.

He lowered his bow and arrow slightly, and was still alert to the puppet masters and spider army who were afraid to approach from afar, and said in a deep voice: "But that's because the vulture Pansas does not have a flight permit... and this hot air balloon is different. This is a legal means of transportation used by puppet masters in normal times in Puppet City."

"How did you know?" Alice asked casually.

Lance smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's important that we have to let this hot air balloon rise to the sky."

...

As early as in the deal with Regis, Lance got a lot of information about the Puppet City from the old man. Although Master Regis had never entered the Puppet City in person, as a pharmacy master, it was too easy to obtain some information.

From this information, Lance learned many stories about the past of Puppet City.

The Puppet City used to be an extremely prosperous city. There are a large number of high-level mages gathered here, which is a place with highly developed wizard civilization. At that time, the Puppet City was not called Puppet City, it had a nice name called [Wanlun]. Wanlun is a land ruled by the king of wizards. It is brightly lit here day and night. Wizards apply magic to their daily lives, and magic hot air balloons are just one of them.

"If I guess correctly, we can take a hot air balloon and go directly into the interior of the Puppet City." Lance analyzed calmly: "Before the puppet city had already exploded, wizards living in the outfield would usually take public hot air balloons if they wanted to enter the Puppet City - only a few powerful people were qualified to open a private hot air balloon park in their own manor, and at the same time report a dedicated flight route and flight permit to the interior of the Puppet City."

"The owner of the manor we are now should be a prestigious wizard. The quality of the magic hot air balloon is excellent. I checked it and found that most of the places are intact."

"After Wanlun fell, most wizards fled here, and more people died here. But this does not mean that the magic facilities here are completely useless. The information I got is that at least these hot air balloons can still function normally."

After hearing this, Alice was silent for a moment and immediately asked back: "Even if you are right, these hot air balloons can indeed take us into the Puppet City. But how much is the risk? Can you estimate it specifically? Why don't you walk through the gate?"

"Because I guess if I return the same way, I will definitely encounter more monsters." Lance pointed to the black crow on the top of the first spider's nest and sneered: "The white parrot symbolizes protection, and the black crow symbolizes unknown. In ancient legends, once you fall into an unknown place, if you try to return the same way, you will probably encounter more misfortunes."

Alice looked at Lance with some suspicion.

Lance's eyes were calm. These words were not something he had fooled himself. It was extracted by the fox from the scanned database. There were indeed some related ancient books about crows and unknown experiences. He just read the fox's words to Alice and Martha.

"No further ado, let's act quickly." Seeing that Alice did not refute, Lance gave the order without hesitation: "I'll look at these guys, and you can try to ignite the flames on the hot air balloon."

...

The undead puppet masters were still very restless. However, they had no choice but to deal with Lance. Because they wanted to control the puppets, they could not hide and could only fly in the air.

The ghost's flight altitude was extremely limited and he could not escape from Lance's range at all. Under the shock of his dead companions, they could only stare at him.

The spider tide slowly stopped in place. They danced uneasyly. Sak stood there with his head down, his body trembling slightly, but under the control of the puppet master, he did not attack again.

"Puff!" The orange flame struggled for a while, and finally lit up.

The top of the hot air balloon suddenly expanded, and the thin canvas became round under the action of the hot air. An image of a grinning parrot appeared above the hot air balloon. The smiling parrot flashed with white light from time to time.

The light hot air balloon suddenly wanted to rise from the ground. If it weren't for the rope tied to the ground, it would have already flew with the wind.

"It's done." Alice said with some joy: "I also found a magic console that can control the flight route."

"Great." Lance took a step back and signaled: "Marsha, come in quickly."

Martha immediately crawled into the hot air balloon when she heard this. Lance was agile and followed a jump and entered the hot air balloon basket.

He kept holding the bow and arrow, and his hands were numb. But he knew that it was not the time to slack off.

"Alice, can you ensure the direction of the hot air balloon flying?" he asked in a low voice.

Alice was holding a wooden panel in her hand and was busy studying. She quickly said, "No problem. This is a magical invention. It is a completely automated magic transport tool. I just need to adjust the flight altitude, speed and route according to the instructions on the panel."

"Okay, let's go." Lance quickly took out his dagger and cut off the rope beside him.

The hot air balloon suddenly rose from the ground!

The undead puppet masters let out unwilling roars. They wanted to pounce on them, but due to the bow and arrow in Lance's hand, they could only stand far away.

Marsha burst into tears and couldn't help crying.

"We, we finally escape..."

Alice also showed a joyful look on her face as she survived the disaster.

However, at this moment, Sak, who had been standing there, suddenly let out a roar!

Lance narrowed his eyes, he saw it clearly, and the puppet line behind Sack broke in response to the sound!

"He can actually struggle out of the puppet master's control?" Alice was a little surprised.

Then her face became ugly. In an instant, countless spider waves surrounded Sak. The undead puppet masters screamed.

"Master Sack..." Martha looked at the scene with great palpitations.

The hot air balloon rises slowly.

"You can't leave me!" Sak looked up and roared, "Let me land!"

He used spells frantically to break out of the spider group. At this time, the hot air balloon was already thirty or forty steps away from the ground and could not land at all.

"Come down!" Sach shouted hysterically. His eyes were filled with hatred.

Lance's face tightened. He was about to shout, but who knew that the angry Sack immediately made a more surprising move!

He held up his staff and used a spell against the hot air balloon!

"No one can leave if you don't take me away!" He stared at Lance and others on the hot air balloon like crazy.

"Not good!" Lance's heart thumped. If this spell hit the hot air balloon, it might fall directly! Then they will be in danger again.

Fortunately, at this time, Alice, who had been holding the control panel, immediately reacted. She, who was familiar with the Blood Mage spell, immediately used a counter-spee to offset it.

The fluctuations of the spell factor were almost passively with the hot air balloon. The three of them on the hot air balloon were all sweating.

"You can't let him continue to attack us!" Alice said anxiously.

"I agree." Lance put down the bow and arrow, raised his right hand, and pointed his finger at Sach underground.
