Ausilid's words drifted over the campfire, as if tinged with a chilling flame.

"Sometimes, pets only look for a new home after their owner dies, you understand?"

The colonel's implication was quite clear.

Kill Lu Ye and take Violet!

Chapter 29 A Small Side Quest

"When do we make our move?" Dietfried's voice was a little dry.

He's not someone who hasn't killed before, but why would he kill an ordinary person?

Although this was a "humiliation" for him, he had no choice but to ask Lu Ye to die for the sake of the colonel and his own military career.

"No rush. I don't know if you've noticed, but that girl seems to have a good relationship with Lu Ye."

“I know, Colonel, you said before that their relationship was like that of a master and his pet.”

"Do you think pets can have human intelligence?" Osinlid asked.

Dietrich was taken aback.

"To put it simply, it's true that Lu Ye was stranded on a deserted island, but the girl was probably already here for some reason before he arrived. Lu Ye spent a long time taming her, and the two of them have developed some feelings for each other. If he were to kill her master at this time, she would be angry."

"Shall we make our move stealthily?"

"No, she'll definitely be looking for him everywhere."

"Then, as you say, Colonel..."

“We’ll do it on the ship, without anyone knowing,” O’Sinlid said in a chilling voice. “On land, we probably wouldn’t be able to do anything to that girl, but it’s a different story on the ship. We can let that kid sink to the bottom of the sea without anyone noticing. What can she do then?”

Dietfried understood that once on board, the girl was essentially a wild beast imprisoned in the sea, with no choice but to go with them.

Osinlid paused, then continued, "By the way, go and help out more often, for example, when they're cooking, they're treating us so well, we should lend a hand... I remember there's a kid named Ye Zhou who's pretty good at cooking."

Dietfried thought to himself, "As expected, how could that old fox, the colonel, possibly let his guard down?"

"That's settled then, let's rest for tonight."

The two lay down on the meadow to rest.

Gradually, the only sounds inside were the rain and the crackling of the campfire.

The shadows on the wall swayed, but Osinlid's eyes remained open.

He glanced at Dietfried, who was already asleep, got up, leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette that had dried by the fire, but held it between his fingers without smoking it.

He took out a gold pocket watch from his pocket, opened the hidden compartment under the clock face, and found a round photograph inside.

They were a group of blond-haired, blue-eyed young people, dressed in simple linen clothes, standing with warm smiles in the middle of a simple yet peaceful village.

Those young people were all handsome men and beautiful women. If Lu Ye were here, he would be surprised to find that their features were remarkably similar to Violet's.

Osinlid stared at the photograph until his cigarette was almost finished before he remembered to take a puff.

He blew smoke onto the photo.

"Long time no see," he said.

-------------------------------------

Although the rain outside did not lessen at all, thankfully the wind had stopped.

Therefore, Lu Ye and Violet's journey wasn't too difficult.

Throughout the journey, Lu Ye felt that something was amiss.

After Violet demonstrated such strength, that old fox Colonel should be even more vigilant.

But that guy didn't send anyone over under the guise of helping to monitor me... Something's not right.

A little further ahead is the brown bear's cave.

The reason why Lu Ye came here is very simple.

——【Side Quest】

Rescuing the bear.

Rescue the bear cub to earn 1,000 points.

In the past, Lu Ye would have been helpless, because even if he wanted to do the mission, he would have been powerless against the gunshot wound.

But things are different now. There is a "panacea" that can directly increase the chances of survival.

One potion costs 1000 points.

The reward for this task is exactly 1000 points.

Although he didn't earn a single point, Lu Ye still came.

He wanted to see how effective the so-called "panacea" really was.

As a regular item in the store, Lu Ye must have a deep understanding of its quality.

The rain was pouring down. In the pitch-black night, Lu Ye and Violet arrived at the cave entrance. Raindrops dripped from the rock walls and gathered into a curtain of water.

Behind the water curtain, there was a huge black figure.

"Unit 6," that's what Hawkins and his colleagues said.

This was the first time Lu Ye had observed it so closely.

It certainly looks very imposing, like the divine soldiers under Zeus guarding Mount Olympus.

Just how much power does that heavy shell possess?

Lu Ye didn't know.

But he was certain that if this two-meter-tall iron shell were to go to the battlefield with a huge machete, a single swing of its hand would surely send a slew of heads flying.

But there's no time to appreciate it properly now.

That bear's life is more important.

These days, Lu Ye hasn't been able to complete every side quest.

For example, he would simply give up on picking plants from cliffs tens of meters high.

When a task is abandoned or not completed, a task pop-up window will display the message "Task Failed".

The fact that these four words haven't popped up yet means that the little bear is still alive.

But who knows how long it can last.

"Violet, you go first!"

Lu Ye walked behind the girl, holding a torch, and tightly gripped the hem of her clothes.

The torch was something he had prepared beforehand, made by wrapping oil-soaked cloth strips around a wooden stick. Lighting it was also simple, relying on matches he had previously redeemed in the shop.

However, this box of matches is almost empty now.

Although he had seen the two bears a few times before, he was inevitably a little apprehensive about this opportunity to get up close and personal with them.

Suddenly, Violet stopped in her tracks.

The cave wasn't deep; it was only a few dozen steps away, and you could reach the bottom after going around a bend.

In the darkness, Lu Ye heard the low growl of a wild beast.

The firelight illuminated the cave.

The giant bear's figure blocked Lu Ye and Violet's path, its shadow projected exceptionally large onto the cave wall, almost filling the entire stone wall.

At its feet, dark blood was flowing along the cracks in the stone ground; it was the blood of the bear cub lying behind it.

Lu Ye swallowed.

"You'll protect me, right?"

"of course."

Having received a reassuring answer, Lu Ye took out the [panacea] from the storage box.

Accompanied by Violet, he walked step by step toward the brown bear.

Animals cannot understand human language, so they choose to act.

To be honest, this side quest was the most difficult he had ever encountered, with a very high chance of being attacked by brown bears.

Footsteps echoed in the cave, and the brown bear let out a low growl.

With its child behind it, it did not back down even though it knew it couldn't beat Violet.

The distance between the two sides was shortened in one direction.

Five steps, four steps...

Until Lu Ye took the final step, crossing the brown bear's last line of defense.

It let out a deafening roar and launched its final attack.

Chapter 30 Mission Completed

A loud noise came from the cave wall, and stone chips flew everywhere.

The giant bear swung a heavy blow toward Lu Ye's head.

It had long disliked Lu Ye, stealing the sheep and even joining its kind in injuring its own offspring.

This time, we're settling old scores and new grudges all at once!

Unfortunately, this brilliant strike failed to land.

At a crucial moment, Violet delivered a high side kick, striking the upright brown bear in the abdomen.

The force of the blow was so great that the brown bear's legs shifted to the right, causing its nearly 900-pound body to lose its balance.

Lu Ye only felt a black shadow flash by, a hurricane howled past his face, and then pebbles hit his face.

very painful!
