Chapter 143 Du Xiaoxiao's Self-doubt

Du Xiaoxiao's doubts were soon answered.

"Puppet monsters are strange creatures that appeared shortly after the war between immortals and demons. No one can give an accurate answer to what these things are."

Zhuang Li sighed. Humans had been fighting against the puppet monsters for tens of thousands of years, but in the end they were still not completely wiped out.

The situation is even getting worse.

"These things seem to have evolved reproductive systems, so they can be produced in an endless supply." Du Xiaoxiao made a guess.

"Reproductive system?" Zhuang Li was a little surprised to hear the unfamiliar word.

"Just like humans mate and give birth to children, puppet monsters probably do the same, but we can't confirm whether the puppet monster we killed is male or female." Du Xiaoxiao began to think divergently.

If we can distinguish them, then can we find the puppet monsters' nest and kill the maternal puppet monsters that are about to give birth, so as to temporarily control the situation?

When new choices emerged, Du Xiaoxiao suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"These are none of your business, so don't worry about them. If someone comes to you to buy armor, just try to sell it to them, as long as they have no ill intentions." Zhuang Li tapped Du Xiaoxiao's head.

Du Xiaoxiao felt pain and her thoughts were cut short.

Yeah, why does she worry so much?

Wouldn't it be better if you just focus on doing your own thing?

After Du Xiaoxiao got the answer, she planned to go to the Sect Alliance to hand in the task.

"By the way, Master, since you know that the demons were our friends ten thousand years ago, then why did you let me take on the mission from the sect alliance?" This was the point that Du Xiaoxiao couldn't figure out.

"Because I am trying to dispel their suspicions. They suspect that I know something, but I can't show it." Zhuang Li smiled a little bitterly.

In fact, the purpose of Xuanling Sect suppressing the Demon King is not for the benefit of the people of the world.

Just because of some secrets that cannot be told.

Du Xiaoxiao nodded, not quite understanding.

It seems that the master, as the sect leader, is quite frustrated. There is nothing he can't say and he has to keep it all to himself.

For someone like her who can't keep secrets, she would probably go crazy if she had to carry a huge secret.

In a sense, Du Xiaoxiao still admires Zhuang Li very much.

"Master, then why are we on the opposite side of the demons now?" Du Xiaoxiao still didn't understand the key point.

"Because we haven't settled the grudges with the upper immortal world yet, they want to kill us again and dare not let us go." Zhuang Li's voice was a little long.

Du Xiaoxiao felt that it was not a good thing.

She remembered that Bei Mingzhao was also from the upper cultivation world, so, would he know something?

But Du Xiaoxiao felt that she hadn't seen Bei Ming Zhao for a long time.

Bei Mingzhao has never appeared since I gave him the medicinal herbs last time.

I don’t know where he went, and now I have no idea what to ask him.

Du Xiaoxiao regretted not knowing these things earlier, otherwise she could have used medicinal herbs to exchange some information with Bei Mingzhao.

Judging from Bei Ming Zhao's appearance, it seems that he was persecuted by the upper immortal world and came here.

I can’t find him now. I wonder if he has gone back?

"Master, why are you going to deal with us? What's the difference between us and the upper immortal world?" Du Xiaoxiao was very puzzled.

"Child, you have to know that once things inferior to you grow up, they will inevitably become a threat." Zhuang Li tried to talk some sense into Du Xiaoxiao.

"So, the Cangjing Continent was a subsidiary of the upper immortal world before?" Du Xiaoxiao had also read those immortal novels, but now that it was her turn to become a character in the plot, she had a faint sense of absurdity.

"If that's how you want to understand it, then that's right." Zhuang Li's memories of his predecessors all seemed to point to this.

When Du Xiaoxiao asked him about it, he told her some vague concepts.

Sometimes, to satisfy a child's curiosity, she will put down a lot of things.

"Oh, so there is no way for us to break free?" Du Xiaoxiao thought it was funny that she asked these questions.

If there was a way to break free, this wouldn't be the case now.

"Yes, but it's difficult. It's like we're being strangled by the neck. If the other party wants, we'll be destroyed in an instant." Zhuang Li smiled bitterly.

Du Xiaoxiao felt that her brain capacity was running out.

"Then do I need to continue clearing out the demons?" In fact, Du Xiaoxiao already knew the answer.

"Just pretend. Don't pay too much attention to these things. It's not good for you to know too much." Zhuang Li touched Du Xiaoxiao's hair lovingly.

He didn't want his youngest disciple to worry about these things.

Originally, we recruited her just to protect the sect and didn't want her to do anything. Old guys like us should just shoulder as much responsibility as we can.

"Got it. Thank you Master for clearing up my doubts." Du Xiaoxiao was tactful enough not to ask any more questions.

There are some things that Zhuang Li doesn't want to say more about. It's not the right time yet.

Du Xiaoxiao felt relieved after getting the answer she wanted most.

"Master, the sect alliance asked me to kill five demons, specifically?"

"Yes, five. You haven't exceeded the target, have you?" Zhuang Li looked at Du Xiaoxiao with wide eyes.

"Yes, I exceeded the quota." Du Xiaoxiao thought they were talking about five teams, but she didn't expect it was five.

After understanding the connection between the immortal cultivators and the demon clan, Du Xiaoxiao felt that she really deserved to die.

“However, many monks sent by the sect alliance also died, but they were not killed by the demons.” Zhuang Li said in a slightly deep voice.

"Those puppet monsters are really annoying. They don't attack with spiritual power, but they are almost the same as spiritual power?" Zhuang Li couldn't say the details. He knew all this through clues provided by some informants in the mortal world.

There is no clear basis.

Du Xiaoxiao seemed to think of something and her pupils shrank slightly.

Could it be some kind of supernatural being?

Wouldn't that be very messy?

Could it be that the comic world has been occupied by puppet monsters, and the animals and plants have completely mutated, forcing humans to come to the Cangjing Continent as well?

Wouldn't that be a complete mess?

Now Du Xiaoxiao can be sure that the existence of the system is to enable her to assist the immortal cultivation world in pacifying the chaos in these two worlds.

Du Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the world in the novel would really exist, and then connect to another world, causing chaos.

And that doomsday world was born under her pen.

Is there any connection between the two?

Du Xiaoxiao's mind is very confused now, almost a mess.

"Master, I'm going to the sect alliance to hand in the mission. You should have a good rest." Du Xiaoxiao left in a daze.

Du Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a sense of guilt, as if it was because of her that the world became like this.

But I have another doubt. From what Master said, it seems that the one who caused all this was the immortal world.

If you think about it this way, it doesn’t have much to do with you.

Du Xiaoxiao paused in her steps.
