Chu Xingyun couldn't help but laugh when he saw the little puppet spinning around him happily.
At a glance, the little puppet looked like an egg.
Placing an egg on the table, the eggshell was cut in half. The top half of the eggshell rose up to form the head, while the bottom half moved down to form the lower limbs.
As for the eggshell in the middle, it was the body.
As for the three metal balls under the egg, there was nothing much to say. They just carried the little puppet and rolled around.
Creak … Crack …
Just as he was observing, there was a sound and the two pieces of eggshell on the little puppet abruptly closed, covering its body.
In this way … it was no longer a matter of resemblance. It was simply a huge egg.
The rusty eggs were placed on the three skull-sized iron balls and rolled forward with a rumbling sound.
Beep beep beep beep …
As it rolled, the little puppet made a series of beeps, beckoning Chu Xingyun to follow it. It was obvious that it wanted to bring Chu Xingyun away from this place.
Seeing this, Chu Xingyun nodded. He led his companions and followed behind the little puppet, walking into Puppet City.
Rumble …
With a soft sound, the three metal balls under the little puppet carried the puppet's body and moved forward as fast as lightning. However, they were extremely stable as they rolled forward.
Swish …
With a soft sound, the little puppet was clearly moving forward, but the upper half of its body, which was its head, suddenly turned 180 degrees.
As it walked forward, it turned its head to Chu Xingyun and made a series of beeps.
Hearing the puppet's words, Chu Xingyun smiled and nodded. Without another word, he took out a handful of Spirit Bones and threw them at the puppet.
Swish …
There were at least a dozen spirit bones thrown out by Chu Xingyun. The upper and lower parts of the puppet's eggshell opened like a giant mouth and swallowed the spirit bones in one gulp.
Crack … Crack …
With a series of grinding sounds, the little puppet narrowed its eyes with a blissful expression.
The reason why Chu Xingyun threw the Spirit Bones was because the little puppet was too pitiful. If it didn't eat, it would starve to death.
Therefore, although it was very embarrassed, the little puppet still asked Chu Xingyun for some of its salary in advance. Otherwise … it wouldn't be able to provide services to Chu Xingyun.
Small puppets like this were actually the most useless.
If they had hired those large puppets, would Chu Xingyun and the others still need to walk? They could just jump on the puppets and travel as fast as lightning. It would be very comfortable.
With the puppets as transportation, no matter where they went, it would be easy.
Most importantly, after the ores were excavated, the large puppets could help transport the ores back to Puppet City.
This little puppet was not up to the task of handling all of this.
To be precise, the only thing this little puppet could do was to lead the way. It couldn't do anything else.
Beep beep beep beep …
Along the way, the little puppet quickly moved its body and turned its head 180 degrees, constantly telling Chu Xingyun what it was going to say.
Obviously, the little puppet knew very well that it was basically useless. Therefore … it didn't dare ask for more in terms of salary.
In the words of the little puppet, as long as its meals were provided, it was willing to serve Chu Xingyun forever. It didn't need to spend a single cent more.
Along the way, Chu Xingyun had nothing to do, so he chatted with the cute little puppet.
While chatting, Chu Xingyun learned that the little puppet was also a product of the Primordial Era. It was obtained from the Bone Jade Ore.
However, it was different from the other puppets. Apart from being cute, the little puppet didn't have any other uses.
According to the judgment of many Almighties in Puppet City, the little puppet should have been a pet or a toy in the Primordial Era.
Therefore, after a few twists and turns, the little puppet had gradually fallen to its current state. It could die at any time.
Puppets didn't have life, but once the puppet's energy was exhausted, its soul wave would also dissipate. This was actually a kind of death.
Most importantly, once the puppet died, it would be useless even if it was replenished with energy. After the soul wave dissipated, it would never condense again.
After walking for a short distance, the little puppet turned its head and let out a series of crisp chirps at Chu Xingyun.
Obviously, the little puppet was very apologetic about its incompetence, so it invited Chu Xingyun to sit on its head. This way, it could be used as a mount to carry Chu Xingyun forward.
As for the others, it was better to continue walking. After all … with their nine-meter-tall bodies, the little puppet couldn't carry them at all. Or rather … it couldn't.
However, Chu Xingyun still declined the little puppet's invitation.
It wasn't that Chu Xingyun was benevolent. The main point was that … a grown man sitting on a rusty iron ball was too embarrassing.
Rumble …
As they chatted along the way, the group arrived at the center of Puppet City under the guidance of the cute little puppet. It was the mineral center of Puppet City.
As newcomers, they had to register at the mineral center before they could enter the underground mine to mine and excavate.
Of course, it was fine if they didn't register, but once they entered the underground mine, they would be attacked by the corpse puppets under the Corpse Puppet Patriarch's command.
They might even be attacked by the Ancient Desolate Corpse Puppets. Those Ancient Desolate Corpse Puppets were terrifying existences that could rival the top hundred on the Monarch Ranking.
As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Chu Xingyun wasn't here to cause trouble for the Corpse Puppet Patriarch, so … registering was something he had to do. It wasn't called weakness, but basic respect.
Soon, after registering, the mineral center gave out nine puppet marks.
As long as they were in the Bone Jade Mine, they had to hang the puppet mark on their chest. Otherwise … they might be attacked by the corpse puppets under the Corpse Puppet Patriarch's command at any time.
According to the requirements, Chu Xingyun and the other nine people hung the nine marks on their chests.
Then, the cute little puppet led Chu Xingyun and the others to the residential area of Puppet City.
As one of the three thousand battle teams, each battle team had their own encampment in Puppet City. Ordinary puppets weren't allowed to enter …
Of course, hired puppets like the little puppet were the exception. They could enter and leave their employer's encampment freely.
After entering the encampment, everyone quickly chose their own rooms.
A battle team had a maximum of ten members, so … there were ten rooms in each battle team's encampment.
However, the Ghost Battle Team was different. There were only nine people in the entire battle team.
Therefore, there was an empty room.
In any case, the room was empty. Thus … Chu Xingyun gave the empty room to the little puppet to live in.
After knowing that it had been assigned a room, the little puppet immediately squealed happily. It rolled the three metal balls under its body and ran around.
Seeing the little puppet's cheerful appearance, Hu Li also liked it very much. She took the initiative to ask to take care of the little puppet.
Clearly … this little puppet was very likely a toy or a pet-type existence.
