Chapter 113 The Mysterious White-Haired Girl

The night sky is full of bright stars.

Summer has just passed, and the autumn wind blows by, still with a little heat, blowing the weeds, making a rustling sound, and the leaves fall, and green and yellow merge into one.

In the dense jungle, tall trees stood upright, like rows of loyal soldiers standing guard. Looking down from the sky, they looked like bald heads. In the vast forest, there was a clearing that looked very obvious.

The dark entrance to the cave is eerie and quiet. With this place as the center, a circle of trenches has been dug in the land within a radius of 30 meters, and clean water has been poured in to form an artificial isolation zone, a bit like a moat.

Inside the water circle, along the direction of the cave entrance, a road is paved with stone slabs in an orderly manner, crossing the river bank and becoming the only passage into the water circle.

This is a brand new building that was updated after the territory was upgraded to version 3.0. Its function is certainly not just for aesthetics.

As one of the system-generated buildings, the water circle can serve as a moat surrounding the cave entrance. This means that the goblin territory's sphere of influence will no longer be limited to underground.

Instead, it formed a diversified and special structure with the underground city as the core and the ground buildings as subsidiary.

As the territory continues to upgrade, the scope of the "moat" formed by the water circle will continue to expand, and eventually it can form an above-ground town as prosperous as humans.

At that time, the ground town will be the surface body, and the underground city where Gu An is located will be the brain core. It will not only expand the scope of energy harvesting, but also make the industrial building planning in the territory more diverse.

At the same time, these water circles also have the function of protecting territory and fighting against foreign enemies.

For example, now.

As the grass rustled, a magical beast covered in black hair walked out of the woods in the cover of night.

This is a mutant werewolf that can walk upright. Under the moonlight, its hideous tendon flesh is clearly visible.

After it walked out of the woods, it walked straight towards the moat outside the territory like a puppet. Its scarlet eyes were numb and lifeless, and even had a hint of strange fluctuations.

Mutant werewolves belong to a medium-sized monster race. The lowest level of an adult is above level 23. They are known for their speed and agility.

The woods were separated from the moat by a large open space, about a hundred meters away. The mutant werewolves were incredibly fast, and in just a few blinks of an eye, they were already at the foot of the city.

It came to the only passage and stepped onto the stone bridge. Just after it took two steps, the flowing water on both sides suddenly stirred up a violent wave, rushed up from the ravine, and turned into two big hands, waving and launching a surprise attack.

Seeing this, the mutant werewolf quickly stopped, leaned back, and prepared to retreat. However, the big hand formed by the water flow was faster, and it was caught by the water before it could make any more moves.

The water flow, which could cause chaos at the touch, now exploded with the force to tear apart steel. The mutant werewolf with strong muscles struggled desperately, but could not escape at all. He could only let out wailing sounds, and was torn into two halves, dragged into the water, and disappeared.

The water surged upwards, hitting the stone bridge, washing away even the bloodstains.

Under the moonlight, the water surface was soft and everything returned to silence again, as if nothing had happened.

[Congratulations to the host for killing a level 29 human pet! ]

[Energy gained: 800]

[Total current energy: 1400]

Deep in the cave, Gu An was directing the goblins to work when he suddenly heard a system prompt.

"Level 29 human pet."

"Is it finally here?"

Three days have passed since I learned the information that "Toheti wants to rescue Tiya".

During these three days, Gu'an sent ghost goblins to patrol day and night, but they didn't encounter any adventurers, but they did catch a lot of wild boars and rabbits.

The flowers that I waited for withered and bloomed again, and I hoped for the stars and the moon, but the invaders never came.

Gu An originally thought that the adventurers who rescued Tia had probably encountered an army of monsters and died along the way, and he felt a little disappointed about this.

However, the theory of relativity proposed by Confucius said it very well: if there is hope, there will be disappointment; if there is no hope, there will be surprises.

Isn’t this a surprise delivered to your door?
A level 29 human magical pet can send out scouts of this strength. It goes without saying that this must be the long-awaited platinum adventure group.

Gu An, who was originally gloomy because of his employees' slacking off, suddenly became excited and called all the goblins who were working to gather quickly.

……

at the same time.

In the forest outside.

"Lavar's level 29 battle pet died just like that?"

"This territory is truly terrifying. No wonder even the Saint of the Elf tribe fell into trouble."

In the bushes, four men and one woman looked towards the goblin territory at the same time. One of the men, who was so thin that his bones were visible, was a little surprised at the death of the werewolf.

"It's really weird."

"What on earth is that old man Tohti Sage doing?"

"Didn't he say those goblins were just a mob of level 20s?"

"It's only been a short time, yet they have become so powerful. If we hadn't known that the Saint of the Elf Tribe had been captured, we would have been on guard and would have suffered a great loss."

The man named Lava was short and a dwarf.

He was sitting on the shoulder of a troll, followed by three monsters of different shapes. The eyes of these monsters were the same as the werewolf's just now, numb and stiff, and they didn't look like living creatures at all.

This is a method only used by the beastmasters of the Cang Yue Kingdom. The principle is to cut out a part of the monster's brain and then fill it with a special array pattern. Although it is extremely cruel, the war pet created in this way has no thoughts and completely obeys the orders of the master. It is a very efficient killing tool.

Because the operation is extremely difficult and the array pattern materials are rare, the price of each combat pet is very expensive.

Having lost a level 29 werewolf, Lava's expression was quite sad, and his tone was somewhat complaining.

"us……"

"Walk……?"

Next to Lava stood a white-haired girl, about 160 cm tall, who looked very small in front of the tall troll.

Although she was going to defeat the monster, she not only did not carry any weapons, but also had leather restraints engraved with special runes on her wrists and ankles.

Just from the image, it is already very strange. What is even more incomprehensible is that the white-haired girl's voice is obviously very pleasant, but the words she chooses when speaking are extremely concise and abnormal, just like a mentally retarded person, which is a complete pity for such a delicate face.

"Elder Buhe, what do you think?"

"The intelligence from Sage Tohti is seriously inaccurate."

"According to the magic fluctuations just now, the outer defense of this cave should be enough to resist intruders below level 32."

"You can imagine how powerful those goblins are. They are definitely very difficult to deal with."

"Has the training of Original One been completed?"

"If she can't use her full strength, I'm afraid we alone won't be able to save the princess."

The white-haired girl's words did not attract the attention of anyone present, as if everyone treated her as a piece of air.

After a moment, it was again a man with a scar who broke the silence.

He looked at the one-armed old man leaning against the tree, his expression obviously worried.

In order to save the princess, the old party of the kingdom traveled thousands of miles, being hunted by monsters of all kinds along the way, and finally arrived at the town of Ivan after escaping death.

It turns out that the goblins' strength is much higher than the intelligence reported.

Is it true that all these years of forbearance will be wasted?

Thinking of this, the scarred man could not hide the disappointment on his face, and his eyes became more and more nervous as he looked at the one-armed old man.

"A magician has appeared among the goblins. The fallen one who kidnapped the princess has become an apostle of the demon god. It is not surprising that his strength has suddenly increased."

"Sage Toheti is trapped in the imperial city and is being watched day and night by a group of rebels. It is already difficult for him to report the news to us, and we are helpless if there is any deviation."

"Lavar, stop blaming him."

The one-armed old man stood up from the tree and walked to the front of the crowd. He first comforted the beastmaster Lava who was grieving over the loss of his magic beast, then looked at the entrance of the goblin territory and continued calmly, "The training of the original number one has been completed for the most part."

"Although I still can't use my full strength, as long as the level of those goblins is not more than 50, they will still not be a match for the original number one."

Hearing this, the Scarred Man's depressed expression finally became excited. Lava sat on the troll's shoulder, staring at the white-haired girl with an almost crazy look in his eyes.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"You old guys from the Purple Moon Kingdom are actually close to figuring out the technology to create artificial humans?"

"This trip was really worthwhile. Seeing a man-made battle pet is worth my life!"

Lava clapped his hands vigorously. His sinister grin, combined with his dwarf stature, made him look like a talking goblin.

As the only adventurer from the "Cang Yue Kingdom" in the team, the reason why he was willing to betray his homeland and follow the one-armed old man to Ivan Town was not to save Tiya, but to take a look at the ultimate pursuit of the "Beast Tamer" - the artificial war pet.

That is the white-haired girl in front of you who speaks in a somewhat "mentally retarded" way!

"Elder Buhe, you are really something."

"Since the original No. 1 has been almost finished with the experiment, why didn't you let her take action when she was attacked by the monster scout army?"

"It made us arrive at Ivan Town so late. If the princess was really killed by the elven saint, wouldn't it be a disaster?"

The skinny man was also very excited at this time. He came to the white-haired girl and turned around left and right. His eyes, which were originally almost dry, now seemed to be popping out tears.

"us……"

"Walk……?"

The white-haired girl who was originally treated as air suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

Facing the skinny man's fixed gaze, she just stared blankly ahead. There was neither joy nor sadness in her empty eyes, as if she was indifferent to everything happening in the outside world. She just kept asking for task instructions.

"Do you think I don't want to activate the original number one earlier?"

"The experiment has not been completed yet. Primal One is still in an unstable state. The array pattern that controls her can only last for half an hour. After the array pattern ends, she will automatically fall into a deep sleep."

"So, unless it's a critical moment, how can we waste such a precious opportunity?"

The one-armed old man turned around and shook his head helplessly as he spoke, his gray beard swinging from side to side.

Original No. 1 is a secret weapon created by the high priest using forbidden means in order to recover the Purple Moon Kingdom. It contains the wisdom of countless sages.

Even the "secret" was used in this.

If we can really complete the research on the Origin One, we can complete the restoration of the Purple Moon Kingdom even without the princess.

Unfortunately, this world-changing research was too difficult, and even after sacrificing so many young girls, only a half-finished product could be created.

As an innovator among the conservatives, the one-armed old man's shaking head and sighing actually implied his great confusion about the failure of the experiment and Wang Guoxin's uneasiness.

"The demon god has not yet fully awakened, and the power he can exert on the world is limited."

“No matter how much its apostles improve their strength, it is absolutely impossible for them to break through from level 20 to level 40 in such a short time.”

"Since the original number one can lift the seal for half an hour, if she can do it alone, will it be enough to save the princess?"

Although the scarred man was excited, he had not yet lost his mind.

After all, he is not like the beastmaster Lava, a madman who is willing to die for the sake of "art".

From a rational person's perspective, analyzing what the one-armed old man just said, it is obvious that letting the white-haired girl enter the cave alone is the most worry-free and labor-saving method.

However, this proposal was quickly rejected by the one-armed old man.

"No."

"The formation in the brain of the original number one is too violent. After the seal is lifted, I must suppress it at all times. Once it exceeds the range of 500 meters, she will completely lose control."

After hearing this, the scarred man nodded seriously on the surface, but he whispered in his heart, "You call this halfway through the experiment?"

People who don't understand the forbidden experiment naturally don't know how difficult it is to develop artificial human combat pets. People who know the subject, like Beastmaster Lava, don't care about it at all.

It rode on the troll's neck, clasped its arms, and said sarcastically, "Knight Brondo, you are getting lazier and lazier!" "You have a level 50 android to protect you, and you don't need to fight to enter the cave. Do you feel uncomfortable watching the show?"

"If you are so lazy, you might as well just stay outside by yourself. Anyway, I want to see with my own eyes how the androids fight."

Facing Lava's sarcasm, the scarred man sneered and fought back in the most vicious way: "Of course my waist hurts."

"You are nothing like me. You sit on the troll's head every day. You don't even know what tiredness is."

Lava was immediately furious when his pain point was touched. He angrily hit the troll's head and said, "What did you say?"

"Can you say that again!"

Seeing that the two people who had always been at odds were about to quarrel again, the one-armed old man shouted: "Enough!"

"Once we rescue the princess, we'll have plenty of time for you to quarrel!"

"Now shut up, put on your shining stone hats, and prepare to sneak into the goblin territory!"

As an elder of high status, the one-armed old man's words carried a lot of weight. Under his scolding, Lava and the scarred man suppressed their anger and dared not say anything more.

After calming everyone down, the one-armed old man briefly arranged a battle plan, put on his shining stone hat, and commanded everyone to officially march towards the goblin territory.

……

Boom boom boom!
The beastmaster Lava led the way, and the trolls waved their clubs, easily breaking up the water attack. After crossing the stone bridge, everyone entered the dark cave in an orderly manner.

This scene was transmitted to Gu An's eyes without reservation through the [Cave Lord] skill.

【Level 37 troll.】

【Level 38 Swordsman.】

【Level 37 monk.】

【Level 40 magician.】

[This camp is truly luxurious. ]

Through the system panel, Gu An saw the information of the beastmaster Lava and others clearly. He kept praising Toheti in his heart for being such a good man. He actually gave such a big energy gift package and did not disappoint his expectations at all.

However, just as he was happy, he opened the information panel of the white-haired girl in order, and then couldn't help frowning.

【Cyborg】

[Level in sealed state: 37]

[Level after unlocking: 50]

[Introduction to the android: A taboo doll created by the power of the goddess. It is in an incomplete state, has no thoughts, and can only act according to orders.]

The power of the goddess.

Emergency puppet?
What kind of crazy things are those old fools in the Purple Moon Kingdom researching?

Gu An felt a little surprised, not only because of the white-haired girl's strength of level 50 after being unlocked, but also because of the unfamiliar word "artificial human", which was a key factor.

Because, in the original game setting, there are no forbidden dolls, let alone such things as "artificial humans".

[This is going to be troublesome.]

[How should I deal with a level 50 puppet? ]

Gu An stared blankly into the distance, lost in thought.

After the territory is upgraded to version 2.0, the system panel can not only display the level information of the invader, but also check whether the person is carrying any [magic props].

Originally, relying on her rich experience with the game mechanics, she would be able to deal with them even if the adventurers who came to rescue Tia had special items on them.

However, this level 50 intelligent puppet has completely broken the common sense of the game and is fundamentally different from various [magic props].

People make mistakes and horses make mistakes.

The information Britney provided previously was incorrect.

Even Gu An, who was always very foresighted, felt a bit of a headache at this moment, as if he had returned to the feeling when he first came to this world and heard the system announce the invasion of the "Saint Maiden".

[Why does everything involving the goddess become so troublesome? ]

The goddess and the devil are two completely uncontrollable factors, they are simply bugs within bugs.

[Teleportation Block] does not support the current territory.

It was impossible to escape.

The androids have already entered the cave with the invaders, and now we have to quickly figure out how to get rid of these invaders.

Gu An rubbed his eyebrows, thought of the introduction on the system panel, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

No thinking?

Just follow orders?

What if there is no order?

Thinking of this, Gu An's mouth corners curled up again.

……

-

In the winding and twisted passage.

The shining stone hat emitted a soft light, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the area around the white-haired girl and her group.

According to the map provided by Toheti, the one-armed old man led everyone and smoothly came to the third passage.

As they slowly moved forward, Lava sat on top of the troll, holding his head in his hands, looking at the rocky walls, muttering impatiently.

"what's up?"

"We've been walking for so long, but we haven't encountered a single goblin."

"Could it be that the monsters here have already been killed by the Saint of the Elf Clan?"

As an avid alchemist, Lava is the one who is most eager to witness the power of Primal One, and is even willing to die for it.

However, the Purple Moon Kingdom spent several generations of efforts and accumulated countless resources to create the only semi-finished artificial human, the white-haired girl.

To the one-armed old man who is determined to restore the royal family, she is probably more precious than his own life, second only to the value of the princess.

Before leaving, the one-armed old man had instructed that unless he was sure that the goblins' strength had reached a level that could not be fought against, he would never easily activate the Original One.

If the Elf Saint really killed all the monsters, or killed them terribly, it would be unknown when we would see "Original One" take action next time.

Lava didn't see any goblins along the way, and he couldn't help feeling worried and disappointed.

“It’s a little too peaceful indeed.”

"But didn't we already find out clearly before? Those remnants of the army who didn't participate in the last crusade said that the elven saint never came out after entering the cave."

"So she must have died here after all."

The skinny man stroked his sharp chin, analyzing the current situation thoughtfully.

If that arrogant elven saint really killed all the goblins here, the princess would either be killed in the process or be kept as a pet by her.

No matter what the outcome, it was a situation they could not accept.

However, according to the current information analysis, the Elf Saint's hope of winning the crusade battle is almost zero.

It's such a pity for such a gifted girl. Someone blessed by the goddess like her will sooner or later become one of the world's top powers. I didn't expect that she would die at the hands of the demon's apostle.

"We have penetrated the cave so secretly and have not seen a single sentinel or scout so far. This is very unusual."

"If it goes as expected, those goblins must have been seriously injured in the battle with the Elf Saint, so they have no time to take care of the patrol."

The one-armed old man showed a look of joy at this time.

Normal monster nests will have sentries or scouts patrolling at all times to keep an eye on the movements of invaders.

What's more, this is the territory of the Demon Apostle, so such a low-level mistake would definitely not occur for no reason.

The current situation is caused by the fact that the goblins are probably still recovering from their injuries, so they have no time to worry about guarding against foreign enemies.

Since the Elf Saint can severely injure the Goblins with her current strength, there is no need for Origin One to take action in this mission to save the Princess.

The one-armed old man was naturally extremely happy that he could preserve the precious usage times of the original No. 1.

[Who among these people is the one who controls the forbidden doll? 】

Gu An used the [Cave Lord] skill to eavesdrop on the intruders' conversation, but he still couldn't identify the key person who needed to be killed.

It seems that Plan B is needed now.

He used telepathy to order Alia to act according to the plan.

"Damn it!"

"I clearly don't want to listen to that bastard, so why can't I control my body?"

Alia is dangerous.

There can be no mistakes in this mission. In order to prevent her from making trouble, Gu An specially used the [Master-Servant Contract] to issue a mandatory order.

Her body was completely out of control. Alia stood in the darkness, holding the [Holy Feather of Light] in her hand. She reluctantly pulled the bowstring to its full extent and shot a brilliant arrow with all her strength.

With the blessing of the exclusive weapon [Holy Feather of Light], although this arrow is not a goddess skill, its power is equally terrifying.

The arrow emitted a light several times brighter than the shining stone. It flew through the air from the depths of the dark cave. Its powerful force stirred up a gust of wind that made the bells ring continuously.

"Big guy, block it for me!"

Lava was walking in the front, and when he saw a light emerging from the depths of the passage, he immediately ordered the trolls to deploy defenses.

boom!
Although the arrow emitting golden light was powerful, Arya was at a lower level after all. The troll swung his stick forward with force and successfully blocked the terrible arrow of light.

However, the weapon held by the monster was too crude in front of the [Holy Feather of Light]. Although the light arrow was blocked, the stick in the troll's hand also exploded completely, making a loud noise.

"Is this the arrow of the Elf Saint?"

"What a ghost!"

"What kind of charm does that fallen man have that can make the always arrogant Elf Saint submit to him?"

The only person in this world who can shoot arrows with golden feathers is the saint of the elves.

The scarred man recognized the attacker's true identity, but he never expected that the first enemy he encountered was not a goblin, but the long-lost elven saint!

Submit to the Demon Apostle?
Submit to the devil who forced you to sign a master-servant contract?

What a joke!
The scarred man's scream hit her most humiliating pain point, and this time there was no need for the "Master-Servant Contract" to force her. Alia's expression was terrifyingly cold, and she pulled the [Holy Feather of Light] and shot several dazzling arrows in succession.

【Jie jie jie! 】

With a new round of flying arrows of light, three goblins also walked out of the shadows. The holy light sprinkled on their faces, but it still couldn't cleanse the hideous smiles on their faces...
