The puppets' stage play

Cracks appeared on the cocoon, and dark red light overflowed.

However, the cocoon suddenly fell silent, like a storm gathering momentum.

The corners of Qi Xiu's mouth curled up, and the blue color of his eyes gradually faded. He had already seen the final result.

A figure appeared silently in front of Qi Xiu. A Shou's face turned pale, and when he was about to pounce, his expression turned into surprise again, his mouth opened wide, and his eyes were full of doubts.

She looked at the cocoon blankly, only to see that the cocoon had long been broken, tiny particles were floating in the air, and the interior of the house was dark red for a while.

Lido covered her mouth and snickered, but she was met with Mamoru's glare. She turned her head angrily, her mouth opened wide for a moment, and a strong air flow attracted the particles in the air.

All of it entered her mouth, the dark red color gradually became thinner, and the air returned to its usual state.

Mamoru burped happily, ducked in front of the figure, and patted the figure vigorously on the shoulder to show his satisfaction.

Moxibustion Blade looked embarrassed and touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

Qi Xiu looked at this scene indifferently, with no sadness or joy in his eyes. He just felt the aura level of the third level moxibustion blade carefully.

Moxibustion Blade now looks like a young man. His body is covered by a kind of close-fitting dark armor. The exposed skin is dark red. His hands and feet are the same as those of ordinary people. His forehead is surrounded by black patterns, forming a crown like a crown of thorns.

The only thing that was different from ordinary people was his eyes. There were two light spots rotating deep in the two dark red pupils, one black and one white.

Moxibustion Blade first addressed A Shou respectfully, and A Shou proudly raised his chest, showing that you have a good vision.

Then he looked at Qi Xiu, bent his legs, and fell to the ground, his head bowed deeply.

"Thanks to the master for nurturing me, I can break through the racial boundaries. I am willing to die for the master, and I hope you will take him in." Firm words came from the ground, Qi Xiu's expression moved slightly, and he nodded silently.

He was thinking whether it was necessary to do this, after all...

Qi Xiu glanced at the moxibustion blade, feeling a little heavy. The opponent's breakthrough was too difficult, and he would inevitably be unable to keep up with him in the long run. By then, it would not be good for both parties.

Mamoru patted the moxibustion blade sympathetically, with the same feeling in his eyes. She had already reached the third level, but the master never signed a deep contract, which made her feel anxious.

"This matter is not urgent. We will wait until this assessment is completed." Qi Xiu thought for a moment and responded.

"Yes, Master. In addition, Shaoying has also broken through to the third level." Moxibustion Blade's tone was without confusion. Qi Xiu's delay and A Mamoru's sympathy did not take it seriously, and then he told a piece of news.

"Really..." Qi Xiu raised his eyebrows. That's right. Calculating the time, it's almost time.

Li Duo looked at Qi Xiu who was thinking with a smile, and felt that Qi Xiu's troubled expression at this moment was worth taking as a souvenir.

But then I thought about it, these few weak guys have now become so strong. Thinking of her situation, Lido couldn't help but sigh deeply.

She said she wanted to take a career path, but how should she go about it... She held her head and squatted on the ground, feeling a little crazy.

Qi Xiu caught a glimpse of the shadow demon who suddenly went crazy. He glanced past it and turned to look at the moxibustion blade instead of paying attention.

"Get up and say something"

"Yes" Moxibustion Blade responded respectfully, stood up with a solemn expression, and fixed his gaze here.

Qi Xiu closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then asked.

"How about that black dog as the 'mother'?"

"It's not honest, he has his own little thoughts, but he can't escape Xia Ying's calculations, so don't worry, Master." Moxibustion Blade's eyes flashed, and he spoke of Xia Ying in a proud tone, with a hint of admiration.

"Haha, it seems that you and Xia Ying have a good relationship?" Qi Xiu smiled, and then asked the other party in a seemingly ordinary way.

"I'm just getting rich thanks to my master. I don't know any tricks. I will do whatever the master says." Moxibustion Blade's tone was unusually simple, and he just expressed his inner feelings.

"Oh...thanks to you, Moxibustion Blade"

Qi Xiu smiled mysteriously, which made Moxibustion Blade a little confused, but he didn't care. As he said, he only believed in his master. Even if his master asked him to swing the knife to his teammates, he would not hesitate at all.

Moxibustion Blade suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and wanted to understand the reason for the conversation. He couldn't help but feel deeply ashamed for trying to figure out his master's intentions, so he had to lie down on the ground again and kowtow to beg for forgiveness.

Qi Xiu was still sighing that even though the moxibustion blade had gained wisdom, its nature had not changed, so he was relieved.

It wasn't that he was suspicious. There had never been a high-level moxibustion blade in the history he knew. He knew nothing about the other party's information, so he was a little worried.

However, in the history that Lido told him, there were instances of betrayal by highly intelligent moxibustion blades, even betraying people who had been kind to him, which made him mutter.

I can't help but wonder if the moxibustion blade will also... have the possibility of betrayal if it becomes wise.

But looking at Moxibustion Blade, who looked worried and had obviously figured out the reason, and was constantly begging for forgiveness, Qi Xiu's eyes softened unconsciously. He smiled to comfort him and let him stand up.

The moxibustion blade stood up tremblingly, with a very guilty look on his face. Qi Xiu decided to believe him. A sneer came from somewhere in his heart. Qi Xiu's expression was calm. He would only believe it once.

If there is betrayal, broken bones and ashes, destruction of souls, and genocide, he secretly swore in his heart, and a certain unbroken sense gradually faded away.

"These are just small things. What I value is your growth. You and I are very satisfied. I don't know how Xia Ying will progress."

"I can recruit him here. What do you think, Master?" Moxibustion Blade did not dare to act on his own and asked Qi Xiu in a deep voice.

"Uh... No, we can wait until this matter is completed." Qi Xiu pondered for a moment and shook his head in refusal.

He plans to sign a deep contract with them after this assessment in order to further improve his combat power, so he is not in a hurry at this moment.

"Yes, I obey." The moxibustion blade stood with a bow, no doubt on his face.

"Let's go. Since you have advanced, come with me to travel and see what our 'Motherboard' can do."

Qi Xiu got up first and walked out.

His hand brushed over the ring, bringing the moxibustion blade into the envelope. The lines on the surface of the ring flashed, and then became visibly dim, no longer as bright as when it was first made.

Qi Xiu's eyes were thoughtful, and he understood that the maximum number of people covered by the ring was only four people, and it might change depending on the cultivation level of the coverer, but that would be a test later.

Mamoru looked extremely cheerful, turned his body, his white hair flying, and took the lead to follow.

Lido and Moxibustion Blade followed closely behind and left the room one after another.

Qi Xiu walked out of the house and took a look at the sky. It was almost noon now, and the little demons around him were still meticulous and guarding the place closely. Pride flashed in Moxibustion Blade's eyes.

These were the monsters he had brought out. He was about to show off to his master when he saw Qi Xiu looking at the monsters with undisguised indifference in his eyes. He couldn't help but be startled and no longer had the desire to talk.

He understood that the master didn't care about these little monsters, they were just some consumables to him.

"Chief Elvis, do you think this is right for me?"

"Just look at me, hey, this is the right move, you idiot"

"Chief Elvis bullied me..."

Moxibustion Blade couldn't help but think of his memory when several young cat demons broke into him while he was in a daze in an open space one day and tried to ask him for advice. They were then gently persuaded to leave by the guarding white cat. How did he respond at that time... ...

"Oh" in my memory, I just said coldly, indicating that I understood.

Qi Xiu glanced at the moxibustion blade and saw that the other person who had a heart for the first time was extremely entangled at the moment. After thinking about it for a while, he understood the reason, but he didn't care what the other person thought. There would be more things like this in the future.

If you want to be his follower, you must get used to this first, otherwise you might as well end the contract as soon as possible.

Qi Xiu thought coldly, and after walking for a while, a cat demon came out of a nearby house. They greeted each other warmly, just like ordinary humans.

Qi Xiu sensed that there was someone inside the house, but the mood swings of the rat demon were gentler than those of the dog demon he passed when he came.

Moxibustion Blade had calmed down at this moment. Seeing Qi Xiu looking at the house, he quickly explained.

"'Monsters' and people live together, which is what the 'Motherboard' suggested. Of course, the situation is not optimistic. Monsters have rough personalities, especially when they are born, they are even more irritable, so they often bully the people who live with them."

"This situation cannot be suppressed even if the leaders issue orders, so most people hate monsters."

"It's not that the cat demons here are kind, but most of them are arrogant by nature, so they don't pay much attention to the people who live with them, so they appear to be in a better situation on the surface."

Moxibustion Blade thought for a moment and explained the situation clearly and logically.

Mamoru and Lido listened indifferently, with no care on their faces and looking around.

Qi Xiu nodded from time to time, thinking about where to go next.

At this moment, there were not only cat demons but also a small number of humans on the street. The two were clearly separated. The cat demon stopped and looked at the humans with arrogant eyes. The humans stood aside and smiled with lowered eyebrows. The cat demon left with satisfaction.

Most of these humans looked cunning and had strong malice on their faces, but only one of them looked somewhat conspicuous.

Qi Xiu's eyes narrowed. Is that Gong Shoucheng?
