"You … Do you know what is the most convenient thing? What is the best thing to clean your environment? Cleaning tools? That's wrong! The correct answer is … A machine that holds a cleaning tool! Every family needs something like this! "
This was a part of an advertisement.
The one who made this advertisement was a company called 'Convenient Skeleton Production Company'. The products produced by this company were usually called the 'Skeleton Series'.
They usually had six limbs and could move at high speed. They were of different sizes and were produced in large quantities. The main purpose was for cleaning or transportation.
After the Mechanical Dust Crocodile … was free, the Dust Crocodile kept looking for things to replace the Mechanical Dust Crocodile that used to do most of the manual work. It was also in that era that various replacements were made.
One of them was … the Skeleton Series.
The Skeleton Series might look scary to the Voidfolk, but it was nothing to the Dust Crocodile. This kind of machine was very popular in the Dust Crocodile's city. They were mass produced as a replacement for the cleaners.
However, no Dust Crocodile knew what the founder of this company was.
For a company that was established in the Dust Crocodile's country, the leader was usually a Dust Crocodile. However, there were some exceptions. Occasionally, there would be other races that could successfully establish a company here.
However, this … was a unique example.
The founder of the Skeleton Series company came from a place far away. It was tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Dust Crocodile's country. The environment, temperature and gravity there were all unsuitable for the Dust Crocodile. Almost no Dust Crocodile would explore such a far place.
However, there were some creatures that came from … such a far place to the Dust Crocodile's country. These creatures were called 'Cong Du'.
The meaning of its name was simple. In the Dust Crocodile's language, it meant 'from afar'. The 'Cong Du' was a type of small creature that could float … It was about a meter long.
No one knew why they came to the Dust Crocodile's territory and adapted to the environment. At first, the Dust Crocodile only thought of them as some new wild creatures.
Only when the 'Cong Du' learned to communicate with the Dust Crocodile did the Dust Crocodile start to … take them seriously. To the Dust Crocodile, their understanding of them was limited.
Because there were only a few of these creatures, they slowly faded out of the Dust Crocodile's life. The Dust Crocodile didn't care as much.
However, it did not fade away in reality … That was what the Primordial realm had said. These creatures called Congregations were sinister creatures.
They had a very special ability that allowed them to disguise themselves as Dust Crocodiles. It was said that some of the 'Cong Du' disguised as Dust Crocodiles began to develop their own forces in the Dust Crocodile Nation.
For example, they would try to take on some high-level roles and have more control over the other Dust Crocodiles. Starting a company was one of the ways.
The Skeleton Series Company was started by Cong Du. This company only took a short time to grow from small to big, mainly because Cong Du … was very smart.
However, their purpose was not only to gain status in the Dusty Crocodile Kingdom, but also for other reasons. For those reasons, Cong Du mass-produced the skeleton series.
The skeleton series looked like a mechanical device to the other Dust Crocodiles, but it was actually made of a special material. This material … could accept orders from Cong Du, and Cong Du could command them at any time.
Then, Cong Du would sell these skeletons in bulk to the Dust Crocodiles. This was their goal.
What were they trying to do? To rule over the Dust Crocodiles? The Shi Jin did not know their goal, but it seemed like they did not do that, because they had always been on good terms with the Dust Crocodiles, and the skeleton machines did not do anything special.
Until a certain time …
A group of Cong Du gathered in the city of the Dust Crocodiles. They planned to do something special.
That was … to go home.
They came from a very far place, and they had never tried to find a way to go back, but they suddenly found a way to go back, and they successfully returned.
It seemed to be some kind of teleportation method. They returned to their original home, but they came back not long after. Afterwards, the Cong Du went back and forth between the two places, running the company here and going back to the other side for some unknown reason.
Until now, the Cong Du did not seem to be anything special. The only time they were special was … after the war started.
Before the Dust Crocodiles activated the solidification bloom, the Cong Du received some news, so they all hid in their home. It was very far away, so it would not be affected.
Then, they used some unknown method to prevent their … skeleton machines from being affected by the solidification.
It was not that they were completely unaffected. Instead, they were slightly affected at first, and then they became active again. Their factories continued to produce the skeleton machines.
The skeleton machines just wandered through the city of the Dust Crocodiles, causing some trouble for the awakened elites. At this moment, something happened in the Cong Du's home as well.
The Shi Jin had disembarked there. In order to find traces of the modified, the Shi Jin had disembarked in many places in the tunnels.
According to the Primordial realm expert, Cong Du's homeland was a place akin to ruins. The living environment there was rather … difficult. However, there were still many Cong Du there. When they saw the Primordial realm expert arrive, they immediately began fighting. They did not communicate at all.
The weapons they used were rather special, causing quite a lot of damage to the Shi Jin. However, the Shi Jin had basically … killed them all.
The remaining Cong Du arrived in the Dust Crocodiles' territory through the teleportation. However, the Shi Jin still managed to capture a few escapees, and he learned a lot about them from them.
The Shi Jin discovered something that surprised him, which was that the Cong Du … was a creature that had once communicated with the modified.
When he investigated them, the Shi Jin discovered a lot of … evidence on them. It was enough to prove that these creatures were definitely connected to the modified. They should have been … servants. They had once followed the orders of the modified in the past.
The Cong Du did not deny this. Moreover, they stated that they had set off to the kingdom of the Dust Crocodiles to welcome the modified.
Now that they had made a lot of preparations, it was about time for them to return.
The Shi Jin also learnt from the Cong Du that there was a special … or rather, a leader, Cong Du who held the key to communicating with the modified. This Cong Du happened to be in the kingdom of the Dust Crocodiles.
