4. Unknown creatures

Luan carried the puppet on his back and sped through the woods.

The wind on both sides passed through the ancient tree caves, as if thousands of monstrous beasts were roaring.

Although the puppet was not so weak that he couldn't even walk, Luan still couldn't help but say that he wanted to carry him back, and at the same time surprised the puppet, how could a little girl have so much strength.

But after thinking about it, he spent so many rare materials, if he didn't even have this bit of strength, wouldn't it be a naked fraud?

It's just that he really can't figure out why the result of the operation will be a girl who looks about the same age as him.

"That...... Thank you. ”

The puppet squeezed out a smile stiffly, this was the first time he had dealt with his own servants.

"It's my duty to keep my master safe, and I don't need to say thank you." The expression on Luan's face still did not change at all.

Back outside the cave, the puppet's feet jumped up almost as soon as they touched the ground, this was the first time he had direct physical contact with the opposite sex, and he couldn't stand the long hair patting his face.

"Ahh

The puppet calmed down his emotions in embarrassment and began to look at the girl in front of him.

Luan looked about the same age as him, wearing a strange colorful dress, with a graceful posture, slender and snow-white thighs, long black hair up to the waist, but the immature childish face had begun to appear in the world's stunning outline, and the beautiful big eyes blinked and blinked, as if waiting for something.

After frowning and observing Luan, the puppet pointed to a big tree not far away and said suspiciously, "Go and cut down that tree." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several wind blades swept past him in an instant, cutting off the tree.

Seeing this, the puppet swallowed a mouthful of saliva silently, and shouted with a shy face: "Be smart, I'm talking about the one over there!" ”

Boom! The second tree fell to the ground.

"Only, as long as the trunk, as long as the trunk!" The puppet still didn't give up, "It's just three meters!" ”

Boom, a few more wind blades flew out, and the puppet immediately ran over to take a rough measure, obediently, exactly three meters.

"Ahem......"

The puppet turned around and coughed calmly, originally just to test whether Luan really obeyed him completely, but because he really doubted Luan's ability, he deliberately made it difficult, but he didn't expect Luan's strength to be far beyond his expectations.

But even so, the puppet was still suspicious, so he turned around and walked into the cave, and Luan obediently followed him.

In front of the magic circle just now, the spell had ended, and the girl who was lying on it had disappeared. But since the puppet hadn't looked at the girl's face carefully before, he still couldn't be sure that the Luan in front of him was the girl.

Then, the puppet asked Luan to stand still, and he squatted down to carefully inspect the depleted magic circle, Luan stood quietly behind him, his godless eyes were like a silent pool, not a little angry.

Drizzle!

Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and I saw a bright knife tip appear on Luan's calm pupils.

The puppet held a cold kunai, his expressionless face reflected on the shiny blade.

The two looked at each other in silence for dozens of seconds, and just as the puppet wanted to let go of the kunai, an extremely strong vibration suddenly came from outside the cave.

"What?!"

The sudden change made the puppet almost fall to the ground, and Luan, who had just been ordered by him not to move, was also falling to him crumblingly at this time.

With a bang, Luan directly pressed the puppet under him, and at the same time, countless pieces of rubble began to fall from the mountain wall, and he was about to bury them alive.

For a while, the puppet's head was blank, he didn't have time to think, he got up and hugged Luan's soft body and began to run out desperately, this was his instinctive reaction, and years of wandering forced his legs to form a muscle memory of running wildly.

Finally, a second before the cave collapsed, the puppet escaped with Luan in his arms, and he ran all the way to the stream without stopping, and finally tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.

“......”

I don't know how long later, the puppet suddenly felt a little warm on his face, as if something soft was underneath.

Then he jerked his head up, breathed heavily, and then looked at his right hand, which was already dripping with blood.

When he fell just now, he subconsciously protected the back of Luan's head, but the back of his hand was poked by a sharp stone and a big hole, and he even chattered his teeth in pain.

The clear stream, glistening and gurgling of water, passed by the two of them, occasionally stirring up patches of water that glistened in the sun.

"Master, you're hurt."

Luan Wushen's pupils reflected the puppet's painful expression, and then, she stood up like a machine, and stiffly stretched out her hand to heal the puppet's wound with medical ninjutsu.

There was a flash of light, and the puppet looked at the back of his hand in disbelief, and just wanted to say thank you, but when he saw Luan's expressionless face, he swallowed the words back.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar came from the direction of the cave, and the puppet turned his head to look, and immediately his frightened hairs stood on end, and his back was cold.

I saw an extremely thick, unknown creature's tail hanging next to the buried cave, with dozens of slender bone spurs at the end, and a thick layer of rock on the surface, as if it was caused by the collapse just now.

With a flick of his tail, a cave collapsed, and it was hard to imagine what kind of behemoth it was, but he couldn't get a glimpse of it from the puppet's angle, and he wasn't interested in seeing it, and at this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, and that was to run.

Run!

But because he was too slow on the ground, the puppet had no choice but to let Luan walk again. Stepping onto the thick trunk of the tree, in a few moments, they finally moved away from the original cave.

Luan's speed is very fast, and sometimes the puppet's face will not only be slapped wildly by her long hair, but even the leaves will come over to join in the fun.

I don't know how long I ran, but the sky began to get darker. Luan followed the creek again to find a more secluded hiding place, and then lowered the puppet in front of a large tree.

The woods he was looking for were more remote and quiet, dimly lit and full of dead leaves. Towering trees plunged into the sky, and occasionally a large group of ravens screamed and fluttered, as if they were going to mourn someone.

As soon as the puppet sat down against a tree, his brain began to rac.

To be honest, it was the first time he had seen such a behemoth when he had grown so big, and at the same time, it also made him wonder, how did such a big monster appear near the cave?

Even if you walk on tiptoe from 20 kilometers away, the movement will not be small.

Don't...... Did it appear out of thin air?

The puppet rubbed his swollen head vigorously, what had happened in just a few hours was far beyond what he could accept, and he needed some time to analyze and digest it.

Luan watched him quietly from the side.

"Find a suitable place to stay for a while, and it always feels like something bad is about to happen."

The puppet finally realizes that without his orders, Luan would not act at all, and it can be said that he has no self-consciousness at all.

It is precisely to confirm this that the puppet in the cave will scare her with kunai, in order to see if she is self-aware.

And when he saw that Luan's expression didn't even change slightly, for some reason, he was faintly disappointed in his heart.

Dead leaves fall, swaying in the invisible wind. Gradually, the already dim light around him became even more dim.

The puppet thought about it for a long time, and from the moment the system appeared in his mind, he had a faint feeling that the world seemed to have become a little different.

Unusual prophetic dreams, a girl named Luan, and the giant beast that appeared out of thin air......

Ever since the system came along, strange things seem to have started to happen one after another. Especially Luan, there are still many suspicious points in her that the puppet has not understood.

Although there is all kinds of evidence that she is indeed a life created by a puppet, it is mentioned in the scroll of [Soul Covenant] that the created life is a contract with the caster with a soul, since there is a soul, how can there be no self-awareness?

The scroll also details the derivative technique that can deprive it of its soul and make this life completely a puppet, but Luan seems to have been a puppet from the beginning, without a soul, and will only act according to orders.

Thinking of this, the puppet took out the scroll from the system space again, searched carefully, and finally found the [Soul Liberation] technique corresponding to [Soul Deprivation].

Fortunately, this spell does not require additional materials and conditions, and only needs to have the target stand in the corresponding circle, and then complete the seal to activate.

Just as the puppet was checking the spell seal, Luan happened to return, and she found an abandoned village not far away, which seemed to be uninhabited.

The puppet nodded, and casually put the scroll back into the space, letting Luan lead the way.

The night came up from the horizon, swallowing up the light of the sky every minute and second.

Walking and walking, I don't know why, the puppet suddenly felt that Luan's delicate and small back was very familiar, very similar to someone he knew, but no matter what he thought, he couldn't remember anything.

Suddenly, something crossed his face, and the puppet touched it with his hand, and then looked up at the dark clouds that had accumulated above his head for some time.

"What, is it rain?"
