5. Soul Liberation (I)
The cold moonlight fell like a silver veil, hazy the vast earth.
After a brief survey of the village, the puppets found nothing out of the ordinary, as most of the houses had collapsed, leaving only a few dilapidated huts.
He found a random room that looked fairly sturdy, and after briefly cleaning up the stench that came from nowhere, he piled up the firewood he had just collected and wrapped it in the stove in the corner of the room.
Soon, Luan returned, carrying a mountain boar that had been processed.
The puppet had to admit that this kind of thing was really amazing, and as soon as Luan raised his hand, the pyre ignited a fire, and after a while, the fragrant wild boar meat was already boiling in the hanging pot.
The puppet thought that Luan didn't need to eat, but he didn't expect Luan to say nothing, but his stomach was croaking.
"Let's eat together."
With the puppet's permission, Luan sat down and slowly took a bite of a piece of meat, perhaps in her words, the word "eating" would have applied more to her.
The puppet saw that Luan ate so much, and thought she didn't have a big appetite. But he soon realized that something was wrong, and in the end, Luan alone ate almost an entire boar.
The pyre burned out, and the night grew dark.
There was a sound of insects outside the cobweb-covered window, and the puppet was lying on the tatami mat that was already a little moldy, and his eyes stayed on the Luan who was sitting on the side, and gradually, he could no longer withstand the general attack launched by sleepiness, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, a soft light shone in through the window and reflected on the puppet's tired face.
He frowned, took a deep breath and tried to sit up from the floor, but suddenly felt something pressing on his chest, and the itchy feeling of his hair near his face.
The puppet opened his eyes in a daze, and looked up with difficulty, only to see Luan's little head leaning against his chest, half of his body pressed tightly against him, and he could even feel Luan's soft snort and soft red lips.
"This ......"
The puppet suddenly had a palpitation, he didn't know that Luan would also be sleepy, if there was any movement last night, wouldn't the two of them have to finish playing.
He didn't wake Luan, but took the scroll out of the system space and continued to check the corresponding seal of [Soul Liberation].
Suddenly, at this moment, the system jumped out.
'Today's task has been dispatched, click to view. ’
The system randomly assigns three daily tasks every day, and you can get corresponding rewards for completing the tasks, and there is no penalty for not completing them.
The system tasks are divided into several kinds, and the rewards are also divided into several levels, the puppet is currently only exposed to daily tasks, and the rewards are only some things that are of little use, and the most valuable thing the puppet has ever obtained is only a fragment of the source of the forbidden path, and collecting five can be exchanged for a source of the forbidden path.
The puppet clicked into the mission details, and sure enough, today's mission was as uninteresting as ever.
Task 1: Practice physical skills for an hour. Reward: [Instant] x1 (Can be activated once without seal)
Task 2: Practice forbearance for an hour. Reward: [Blessing] x1 (Increases the chance of drawing an S rank when drawing a forbidden spell after use)
The puppet's gaze gradually swept down, and when he saw the third task, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
Mission Three: Kill an adult beast. Reward: [Heal] x1 (Immediately restores all of your statuses)
This reward puppet is the first time I have seen it, and the practicality is undoubtedly much greater than the previous two, and it can save lives at critical moments.
Just as the puppet was checking the details of the task, Luan had woken up at some point, and sat on the side looking at him expressionlessly.
After taking these three tasks without hesitation, the puppet turned off the system interface, he didn't know that Luan had woken up, so when he just refocused his eyes in front of him, he saw Luan's straight eyes, and he was almost scared to death on the spot.
Outside, the puppet stretched his body, and the warm sunlight shone unobstructed, which was very comfortable.
Putting away the scroll in his hand and putting it back into the space, he was struggling with whether to try to liberate the soul for Luan, after all, a puppet is obedient, but if it is too rigid and does not have a little self-awareness, it will sometimes delay a lot of things.
"Go find an adult beast nearby, and come back and let me know when you find it."
In the end, the puppet chose not to do it for the time being, Luan's situation is too special, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems, it is better to be safe.
After Luan left, the puppet began to practice physical skills on the spot, and less than half an hour later, Luan returned, and she found a huge brown bear living near the mountain not far away.
Before the change, the puppet would definitely not have nothing to do, but now it's different, he is followed by a girl who can use ninjutsu, although I don't know that she can use several nature changes of ninjutsu, but at present, it seems that there are at least no less than four.
"Yes, it seems that the effect of replacing the material with a ninja heart is significant." The puppet touched Luan's little head with satisfaction, and then asked her to lead the way in front.
After a while, the two of them came to a dense forest, which felt different from other places, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Halfway through, the puppet confessed to Luan, and after beating the animal until there was only one breath left, he could hand it over to him to mend the knife. In this regard, Luan just nodded lightly.
As the smell of blood grew heavier in the air, the two came to an open mountain area, where Luan had seen the brown bear from afar, but now it was gone.
Then, the puppet found several terrifying paw prints on several trees nearby, some of which went deep into the trunk and stretched to the bottom of the tree, and some scratched the entire bark to pieces.
In his opinion, this is a warning to those who pass by this place that your life will be at risk if you go any further.
It also indicates that its habitat is likely to be nearby.
Sure enough, after some searching, the two found a staggering cave at the bottom of a cliff, which was many times larger than the one where the original puppet lived, and it was hard to imagine what kind of behemoth lived in it.
Later, the puppet ordered Luan to go in and investigate, and if he met the bear, he would lure it out.
Soon, there was a strange noise in the cave, and then a roar came, and the whole mountain trembled.
The puppet immediately looked vigilantly towards the entrance of the cave, and after a while, he saw a figure jumping out along the mountain wall like a nimble bird.
However, just when the puppet thought that Luan had succeeded in luring the bear out of it, the next scene made him completely dumbfounded.
I saw a monster that looked like a bear rushing out of the cave, covered in red body hair, and a pair of terrifying claws more than a meter long, like a moving hill, and the ground trembled with every step.
Bang!
The monster was angry, its claws fell, the mountain wall collapsed, and the mountain of rubble rolled down, Luan dodged its attack while leaning towards the puppet, so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately shouted: "Don't come!" Lead it elsewhere! ”
For some reason, the puppet suddenly felt that the world was crazy, as if everything he knew had completely changed one night, and the monster in front of him was the best proof of this.
It's unheard of!
Luan had lured the monster elsewhere, but it seemed that he had been dodging all the time, and had never fought back, because the puppet had not yet given the order to fight back.
"Damn it!"
The puppet suddenly felt so tired, physically and mentally exhausted, after getting the system, he originally thought that he would gradually control a lot of things, but he didn't expect it to get worse and worse.
Suddenly, at this moment, the monster that was about to be lulled to another forest by Luan seemed to realize something, and no longer blindly chased Luan to attack, but turned around and rushed towards the puppet!
I saw that its eyes were wide open, with a mouth full of fangs, although there were still some signs of a bear on its appearance, but it was like a sudden change, the size was not known to be many times larger than ordinary adult brown bears, and some raised bone spurs could be faintly seen on the back, which was extremely cautious.
Seeing this, the puppet immediately stood on end, turned around and ran away. For more than ten years, he had never encountered such a thing, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had poured blood mold for eight lifetimes.
Seeing that the puppet was in danger, Luan began to fight back automatically, only to see her jump up, her hands were sealed in seconds, and she spit out a huge fireball at the mutated brown bear.
I thought I was finally saved, but the puppet never thought that the beast would actually use ninjutsu!
The fireball was coming, and I saw a faint flash of light in its abdomen, and then turned its head and spit out a powerful fireball, even more so than it.
The two collided, and a scorching wave burst out in the air.
When he saw this scene, the puppet felt that the sky had fallen, and his worldview was shattering little by little.
It's just that there's a mutated brown bear living in this weird cave.,It's just that he can use ninjutsu.,Are you sure it's not the author crazy?!
However, this is not the most shocking thing for the puppeteers.
