Strange Rules: It doesn't matter, the system will take care of it.

"I have no objection."

Chen Feng had no prior acquaintance with that group of guys, so there was no need for him to offend them.

"Although I can't go back in time, this guy can, so maybe I can hitch a ride with him in the future."

"Of course, let's skip it this time."

Chen Fengxuan's time travel point was after the hero's death. If he were to travel back in time and find that the hero was still alive, he couldn't very well kill him on the spot.

Speaking of which, now we should go find out where the witch is.

The lack of divine perception is indeed somewhat inconvenient.

Chen Feng walked through the forest for half a day before finally spotting two people in a sparser area of ​​trees.

A black-haired boy, who looked to be around eighteen, was digging a pit with a shovel in his hand.

"The greatsword on this guy's back exudes a very dangerous aura; he must be a swordsman in the hero's party?"

"But why doesn't he have plate armor, a helmet, or even cloth shoes? With that level of defense, he'd be easily killed by goblins, wouldn't he?"

Chen Feng thought to himself, then turned to look at the other person.

She was a cute girl with bright red hair, short in stature, only 1.6 meters tall, wearing a tattered gray coarse cloth cloak.

"This must be the Fire Keeper."

Chen Feng took a sniff; the air was filled with the aroma of roasted meat, and the boy was filling the pit with soil, while the campfire beside him had been extinguished.

This group of heroes must have been having a picnic when suddenly a monster appeared. The heroes fought bravely and sacrificed themselves, perishing together with the monster.

Yes, that makes sense.

Chen Feng took a step forward and suddenly stepped on a piece of advice.

[A trap lies ahead]

Grass.

Is there a trap?

Chen Feng immediately became vigilant: "Could these two be monsters in disguise, trying to ambush me?"

Upon seeing Chen Feng appear, the other two reacted in completely different ways.

With a snap.

The young swordsman put down his shovel, his whole body drenched in sweat.

When the red-haired girl saw that the swordsman had stopped burying the ground, she immediately jumped up and down, full of energy, and said, "Great! We can eat now."

After saying that, he grabbed the roasted meat from the campfire and began to wolf it down.

This doesn't look like someone who has lost a comrade.

Chen Feng assumed a drawing bow stance, immediately unleashing his ultimate move: "The Holy Tree Knight's Great Bow!"

Before Chen Feng could even fire the magic arrow, the swordsman suddenly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, "I was wrong! The hero committed suicide, please don't kill me!"

A hero? Suicide?

Chen Feng demanded sternly, "What exactly happened?"

The boy introduced himself: "My name is Sika, and I'm an ordinary villager from a nearby village."

It turns out that this happened an hour earlier.

Sika was taking a nap in the field.

Suddenly, he felt a pain in his ear.

When she opened her eyes, she saw her childhood sweetheart from the same village. She said with exasperation, "How could you sleep? At your age, at this stage of your life, how could you possibly sleep?"

Jessica rubbed her ears: "What's wrong?"

The childhood friend said worriedly, "What if the Demon King's army attacks us? I heard that in order to deal with the hero, the Demon King's army is camping out newbie villages everywhere, and several villages have already fallen."

Sika reassured everyone, "Since I was eight years old, I've been setting up spike traps in the village. If the Demon King dares to come, you'll see if I don't turn it into a showerhead."

The childhood sweetheart was even more upset: "My father said that if you don't reach level 10 this month, he won't let us see each other anymore. What are we going to do?!"

Sika was probably still half asleep when she blurted out, "Why don't you get a new dad?"

then.

A loud thud.

Sika was kicked out of the village.

Holding his hoe and spiked tools, he grumbled, "It's just hunting monsters, what's so hard about that?"

As she spoke, Sika dug a trap in the monster forest and then set up a barbecue grill.

His plan was simple: first, lure the monsters with roasted meat; second, lure them into a trap; and third, kill the monsters with spike traps, harvest their souls, and then go to the witch in the city to level up.

Unfortunately, Sika didn't encounter any monsters, but instead met a hero.

The hero rubbed his nose: "Hmm, it smells like roasted meat."

Sika gave a thumbs up: "A pro."

Then, with a thud, the hero vanished.

stop!

Chen Feng interrupted, "Don't tell me that a dignified hero was killed by your trap."

Sika said, "I don't believe it either, but I've already performed an autopsy, and the cause of death was determined by the autopsy."

Didn't you kill him?

Although what Sika said was outrageous, it was so outrageous that it seemed like the truth.

Because ordinary people can't come up with such a bizarre story.

Chen Feng looked at the red-haired girl beside him and asked curiously, "The hero is dead, how come you still have the appetite to eat?"

The red-haired girl puffed out her cheeks and said, "Chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew."

Chen Feng rubbed his forehead, saying helplessly, "Swallow what's in your mouth before you speak. And why don't you spit out the bones when you eat?"

The red-haired girl swallowed the meat, her throat bobbing, and said dejectedly, "Ah, can't I eat?"

All you can think about is food.

Chen Feng was about to complain.

At that moment, Sika suddenly reminded him, "Big brother, she's not the Fire Keeper."

"what?"

"She came here on her own after smelling the aroma of barbecue. I was afraid she would tell people that the hero was dead, so I asked her to bury the hero for me and then treat her to a meal."

"what?"

"This hero is alone; he didn't bring a fireproof witch."

"what?"

Chen Feng slapped his forehead. He never expected that a hero could be in such a miserable state that he didn't even have a Fire Keeper.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense. If he were the Fire Keeper, he would probably run away too if he saw a hero who could be killed by a villager's trap.

"So, who can I ask to fill the Fire Keeper gap that I'm missing?"

Chen Feng had barely finished speaking.

The system was activated due to the detection of the keyword "Fire Keeper".

Searching for Fire Keeper Witch

[Target found, binding in progress]

Ok? ? ?

Chen Feng looked at the red-haired girl and wondered if his luck had turned around and he had just encountered a fireproof witch without a hero.

But the next second, the system's mechanical voice made his smile stop.

[Binding successful!]

Fire Keeper Witch: Chen Feng (Chen Buyin)

【Brave: Gray】

[Growth Quest Obtained: Only goblins that do not appear before humans are good goblins. Please assist the hero Gray in destroying a goblin nest within 24 hours.]

[Hero's Reward: Gray's level increases by one, and a random skill is upgraded by one tier]

What?

Chen Feng was dumbfounded: "So, after all this time, I'm the witch?"

What kind of idiotic system is this? Get out of here!

Before Chen Feng could finish speaking, he heard another "ding".

[Fire Keeper Reward: Level up by 10 and gain a random blessing]

How many, how much?

Level 10?

And the same World Protection as the Savior?

Chen Feng looked at the red-haired girl and said with a smile, "Little girl, the Demon King's power is growing stronger and stronger. Would you be interested in joining me to fight demons?"

The girl shook her head vigorously: "No, I just want to eat and sleep."

Oh? Still trying to slack off?

Do you know my older brother?

Chen Feng said coldly, "Being so lazy and gluttonous, I really need to teach you a lesson!"
