I still remember the first time I entered the job transfer mission [Locust Plague] as a warrior in my previous life.

The quest NPCs in that so-called village were different from those in other places. The people in the copy were all "dummies" set up by the system. They lived according to the set operating system. Although Lin Chen communicated with them smoothly, he could obviously tell that they were not flesh and blood creatures.

It's not just the job transfer missions. In many future missions, most of the NPCs are emotionless creatures.

In the entire Land of the Hunting God, only the NPCs in the main city are the "indigenous people" who appeared after the arrival of the Land of the Hunting God, and only they have life and emotions.

But now, Lin Chen can be 100% sure that the trembling girl in front of him is a living woman.

But...how is this possible?

"Hey, how are you?" Lin Chen asked softly, "I'm here to save you."

Hearing Lin Chen's voice, the girl was obviously stunned. She turned her head and looked at Lin Chen in disbelief. In her pupils, a certain emotion that had been discarded for a long time was slowly emerging.

hope.

The girl didn't care that her clothes were already tattered. She grabbed the wooden cage and let out a hoarse roar.

The girl's entire body was stretched out. At this time, with the help of the firelight, Lin Chen could clearly see that a large number of wounds covered every corner of her body. There were some blood scabs hanging on the wounds, and some fresh wounds were bleeding.

At this time, the girl didn't care about anything else. She shook the wooden cage violently. Although the cage was not strong enough, the girl had long since run out of strength. Even if she shook the cage until it creaked, she couldn't destroy it.

Lin Chen's eyes dimmed: "Sledgehammer."

Huang Dachui understood what she meant. He walked forward and broke the wooden cage open with his bare hands. Wood chips scattered everywhere and the girl fell to the ground with her butt.

Lin Chen did not hesitate. He took out a novice robe from his backpack that he wore when he first entered the novice village, and then draped it over the girl.

The moment the clothes touched the girl, they were stuck to her blood. Lin Chen carefully picked her up. The girl's body was very light, and holding her was like holding a scarecrow.

Even in his arms, the girl was still trembling.

At this moment, a prompt sound came from the brain.

"The rescued girl: 1/4."

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold. Was this girl really going to be rescued by him? But... why?

Apart from the spider cave in the Novice Village, this was the second dungeon he had entered. According to common sense, a job transfer task dungeon like this, even if it was not easy, would never lead to the current situation. At least, the "girl who needed to be rescued" in his arms should be a complete NPC, a dummy with no consciousness and no emotions.

But what about now? The warmth in his arms was so real, the girl's faint breathing and trembling body were so real, so what had gone wrong?

"Could it be that I, a second-round player, am in my current identity again?"

Lin Chen muttered to himself. When he first entered the dungeon, besides the clamor of the numerous nurses, who were like fans, had he overlooked something important? Had he triggered some special event similar to the [Second Round Player]?

Just like the spider cave back then?

Lin Chen shook his head. He just felt confused. He had no idea what was going on. Even if he lived again, he still knew very little about this hunting god land.

"Forget it, I don't want to."

Lin Chen carefully handed the girl in his arms to Huang Dachui who was standing on the side.

Huang Dachui had been standing beside Lin Chen warily. When Lin Chen handed the girl over, he was clearly at a loss: "Lord...Lord..."

"Got it." Lin Chen placed the girl completely in Huang Dachui's arms.

As he spoke, Lin Chen took out a bottle of inferior life potion from his backpack and poured it into the girl's mouth.

After drinking the potion, the girl's complexion improved significantly. Not only that, the wounds on her body also began to stop bleeding. However, the life potion in her hand was of the lowest level after all, and its recovery effect was limited.

"It would be nice if there was a wet nurse here." Lin Chen muttered.

But the next moment, he suddenly remembered something.

"Uh...I am myself."

Lin Chen slapped his forehead.

The next moment, he waved at the girl, and the healer skill [Healing Hands] was activated.

A beam of light suddenly exploded from the girl's body. Under the light, the scars on the girl in Huang Dachui's arms were healing rapidly. Not only that, the redness, swelling and bruises on her body also dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The girl stopped trembling, her breathing slowed down, and she actually fell asleep in Huang Dachui's arms.

"Your Majesty... I... now..."

The person who was so nervous that he was trembling began to turn into Huang Dachui. This undead had never encountered such a thing before and was immediately at a loss.

Lin Chen waved his hand and said, "Da Hammer, take her out and wait for me first."

"Ah...ah?" Da Hammer was stunned. "My Lord, Da Hammer wants to stay by your side."

Lin Chen stood up: "Do you think I need it? Brother Roar, let's keep moving forward."

"Yes!" Brother Roaring first cast a sympathetic look at Huang Dachui, and then followed Lin Chen.

Huang Dachui looked at the girl in his arms awkwardly, and finally sighed.

After saying that, he carefully held the girl in his arms and walked out of the cave with light steps.

……

The torches began to dim from this time on.

As he went deeper, a chilly, damp air hit him. In the dim light, the narrow passage ahead twisted and turned, sometimes ascending, sometimes descending, seemingly endless. The surrounding cave walls were covered in greasy moss and faint claw marks, reminding Lin Chen of goblins living and breeding here.

Faint moans and strange cries came from the depths, and Lin Chen hurried forward.

At the end of the passage, there was a spacious cave interior. In the center of the interior, there was a simple altar made of stones. Some strange objects and withered flowers and plants were placed on it, and some worn-out weapons and tattered clothes were scattered around.

Above the altar, there was another young girl kneeling there. Her condition was obviously better than the previous girl, but even more... miserable!

Yes, the girl was completely naked, her body shaking even more violently, her skin covered in bloody wounds. She was forced to kneel on the altar, her hands cuffed. Several goblins were pouring animal blood on her body, seemingly performing some kind of ritual.

A goblin as tall as an ordinary person wore a wreath-like headdress on his head and held a wooden scepter in his hand, and was muttering to himself.

There were no less than twenty goblins standing around the altar, all of them holding stone knives and wooden spears in their hands. They were jumping around happily, and the hoarse cries coming from their throats sounded like drakes with their throats strangled.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen couldn't help but frown.

Because at this moment, the priest-like goblin suddenly stopped and discovered Lin Chen.

"Haru!"

The priest pointed the scepter in his hand at Lin Chen.

The next moment, all the goblins turned around and looked at him.

In the darkness, twenty or thirty pairs of green eyes shone straight at him like laser lights, which was extremely terrifying.

But Lin Chen smiled coldly.

"Brother Roar, go over there and roar."

"Order!"
