However, Chloe didn't get to say more than a few words to Hellom before she encountered some trouble.

So she quickly told Helum that she was now in what seemed to be human territory and that she would contact him again later, and then temporarily ended her contact with Stella.

As for what happened to her?

She's by the roadside now, but it seems like this road is quite remote, with hardly any vehicles.

After waiting for so long, Chloe finally noticed several carriages approaching from a distance.

And these carriages look like a caravan.

I should be able to hitch a ride to a town to settle down.

We can't let her live like a wild woman in the forest, can we?

Her current aura is so strong that only an expert could tell she's a demon; she should have no problem blending into a town.

Although she has no money now, Chloe used to hitch a ride on passing caravans when she was a hero, so she said she was very experienced.

As long as you stop the caravan (physically), and then act like you're strong enough to protect the caravan, you can get a free ride...

Even if those caravan members think she's not strong enough... but she's so cute, surely no one would be so heartless as to abandon such an adorable little girl in this desolate wilderness, right?

Thinking this, Chloe stopped the carriage (physical)...

Immediately after Chloe explained her situation to what appeared to be the caravan leader (this was made up on the spot), the caravan leader expressed great sympathy for her plight.

Then they called someone...

They put Chloe in a sack.

Chapter 116 Don't panic if you've been abducted; find a way to kill the traffickers.

Based on Chloe's experience, it's highly likely that you'll rarely encounter passing vehicles on this remote road.

If there were many vehicles on this road, there wouldn't be so many dry leaves accumulating on it.

In addition, it's the middle of the night, and it's extremely rare to encounter a moving vehicle, so Chloe wasn't going to give up this opportunity to flag down a car.

That's why Chloe temporarily hung up on Stella when she saw a vehicle approaching in the distance.

Is it necessary to hang up? Of course it is! After all, she needs to communicate with people, and she can't let them see the green glowing patterns on her hands.

However, things took an unexpected turn for Chloe...

Wait, what's going on?!

Chloe was a little confused after being stuffed into a sack.

This is not quite the way she remembered things to unfold.

She had just followed the usual script, saying to these people, "I'm a lost adventurer, and I'm quite strong. I'd like to hitch a ride... If you don't want to, you don't have to, but if you do, I can protect you along the way..."

Logically, the normal procedure should be that the caravan leader invites her onto the vehicle, or she pesters him into getting on...

At most, when the caravan leader asked her why she would run off to the wilderness alone at such a young age, she made up some stories on the spot and took the opportunity to play the victim.

For example, she might say that she was separated from her family when she was one year old, got lost in the wilderness, or that her teammates abandoned her on the ground and died first.

Although these sob stories are all fabricated, they are all based on true experiences and are so truthful that even a lie detector wouldn't be able to detect them...

Okay, that might be the problem.

No wonder that disgusting, greasy old man kept checking if she was alone here, and if she knew anyone in the area... Was that his plan from the beginning?

It seems she's run into human traffickers... or slave traders!

Chloe then remembered that this world had a human trafficking system...

What kind of luck is this? Not only was the teleportation location wrong, but the first group of humans she encountered on the roadside turned out to be human traffickers!

And this was done in broad daylight, a blatant kidnapping... Chloe had never seen such an arrogant human trafficker before.

Aren't you afraid she's setting a trap?

Oh, it's night now? Is everything alright then?

"No wonder they were traveling so late at night... So it was some shady business? Sigh, is it because I'm too cute that that greasy middle-aged man couldn't resist? Ugh... How disgusting, I'm so sorry for being cute."

Chloe, who was trapped in a sack, thought to herself with dead fish eyes.

So the human race is really interesting. The strongest person in the entire caravan is only a mid-level guard. Where did they get the courage to kidnap me?

I clearly said I was of advanced level... Oh, they probably don't believe that such a small loli like me could have advanced strength.

Chloe thought for a moment and seemed to understand where she had gone wrong.

Even the most gifted eight-year-old kid would only be at level 3 or 4... Even the most powerful demons would only be at most a dozen or so levels at eight years old.

With her appearance that looks like an eight-year-old kid, she claims to be a high-level adventurer... Nobody would believe that!

Furthermore, ordinary humans are not very perceptive of magic and aura, and she didn't show any threatening aura... In addition, these people were lawless slave traders...

Okay, Chloe admits she was hasty.

Meanwhile, Chloe, inside the sack, overheard a few conversations, confirming her suspicions...

"Uncle... Boss, is it alright to just kidnap this little girl like this?"

"What's the problem? She herself said she got lost... If we could sell this kind of top-quality goods that just came to us for a good price, we wouldn't have to work for a whole year!"

"But she claims to be a high-level expert...and I always feel like this little girl is a bit like a demon..."

"Are you out of your mind? How could this little brat possibly be a high-level expert? And what kind of adventurer team would abandon a high-level expert? And where is this place? Demons? Are you kidding me? Get a grip! If it weren't for the fact that you're my nephew, I would have kicked you out long ago."

The one referred to as "boss" should be the greasy old man who spoke disgustingly to Chloe earlier, and judging from the location of his voice, the one he was talking to should be the guy who put Chloe in the sack.

Although he seemed to be telling the truth, from a normal person's perspective, he did seem a bit slow-witted.

However, none of this mattered to Chloe; she was certain these people were human traffickers...

Besides, being kidnapped isn't such a big deal... It's just a different way of getting a ride, just a different way of traveling.

It's all about getting a free ride, as long as the goal is achieved... So far, it's still in the planning stage.

Anyway, if she wanted to run away, these people wouldn't be able to stop her at all.

"Hmm... Since things have come to this, I'll just put up a token struggle and then lie down... Anyway, they treat me like a 'commodity,' so they probably won't lay a hand on me... I'll teach them a lesson when I get to their hideout!"

Chloe thought so.

Why didn't she just break free and threaten them to take her to town?

Please, she's the victim, okay? Don't make her sound like a villain... Now that Chloe has confirmed that these people are human traffickers, she's definitely going to go with them to their hideout.

Although Chloe didn't know where she was, human traffickers... that is, slave traders, were the target of severe punishment throughout the human race.

Despite her appearance, she used to be a brave person, so eliminating human traffickers was her duty!

It's not because there are hefty rewards for reporting and eradicating slave trading dens...it's not!

"Behave yourself! You're finally behaving..."

However, just as Chloe made a symbolic, slight struggle, she was suddenly struck on the head with a blunt object.

"???" Although the blow was somewhat painless, it successfully confused Chloe once again.

No, is the person who hit him on the head out of the head mentally unstable? Who tells someone to "behave yourself" and then, before the other person can even react, goes straight for the head?

And you kidnapped me, wasn't it to be used as a "commodity"? Is this kind of brutality really okay? Aren't you afraid of accidentally killing the child with that blow?

Chloe almost ended up in Bengbu... if it weren't for that "boss" immediately starting to berate the "nephew" who had hit her in the head...

"What the hell did you do?!" That was the greasy middle-aged man's voice, sounding as if he was extremely shocked and angry.

"Knock her out?" But the response he received was incomprehensible, and he couldn't even tell that the other person was angry.

"Then why the hell did you hit me so hard?" the greasy middle-aged man roared.

"Huh? It's still breathing, isn't it? It should be fine..." The voice that responded to him was one of confusion, as if they couldn't understand why the other person was angry.

"This is just a little girl! How can you sell her for a good price if you knock her brain out?... Sigh, this job isn't suitable for you. Once this batch of goods is done, you can go back to your hometown and get married!" The greasy uncle was still shouting, but he gave up halfway through... It seemed that he knew that no matter how he shouted, it was useless.

The other person's mind is indeed seriously ill.

These conversations amused Chloe, so she eventually let the clam live in it.

At the same time, because Chloe was still confused, she stopped her symbolic struggle... which allowed her to continue acting.

Chloe was thinking this when she felt herself being thrown into a train car... Yes, thrown, very forcefully.

"Go easy on me, you bastard!" Just as Chloe thought this, a furious roar came from outside the carriage.

Forget it, it doesn't hurt anyway, I'll just bear with it a little longer... Damn it, I've decided, once I get to their lair, I'm going to wipe them out with my own hands! I'll use this American-made M1917 Smith & Wesson...

After being thrown into the carriage, Chloe immediately crawled out of the unsealed sack, instinctively pulling out a large treasure from under her skirt, thinking viciously.

As for whether they can be taken down in one fell swoop? She has dealt with so many human trafficking groups before, and she has never seen anyone above the master level become a human trafficker!

Chloe refused to believe it! Could a rudimentary human trafficking ring really have someone at the master level or above in charge?

And so what if there are masters or above? As long as there aren't too many, she can take them all down.

Keep in mind that even though she's only level 31, she's still at the Saint-level! She can easily project weapons that can easily kill high-level trash.

This is why Chloe dared to infiltrate the human traffickers' hideout alone.

Chloe was lost in thought when she suddenly froze.

"Wait a minute, this doesn't seem to be a projection?"

Chloe then realized that something was wrong.

She instinctively pulled the gun out from under her skirt... It was a system item she had drawn earlier, not a projection of her domain...

But weren't her props on her original body? How did she suddenly appear here?

By the way... before Stella contacted her, the contract imprints on her hands seemed to be inactive. So, the reason she couldn't find them at first was because they weren't activated?

As Chloe thought this, she immediately reached out and touched the contract pattern hidden under her skirt.

"As expected! This contract pattern contains a separate space, and everything is actually inside!"

Now Chloe felt even more confident.

Although it contained a jumble of random things, and her strongest weapon—the Demon Sword—wasn't even in there, the fact that the human race's "demon life safety" item—the [Disguise Card]—had returned to her hands was more important than anything else.

You should know that even that slightly dim-witted young man had a vague feeling that she was a demon. Although he might have been mistaken or something, it was enough to show that her aura still had a certain probability of revealing her demonic identity.

She had been thinking too simply.

If she were sent to a small town, that would be fine; even if she were recognized as a demon, she could still escape… But these are human traffickers; their hideout couldn't possibly be in some small town…

This is why Chloe just thought of wiping out all these menaces instead of leaving a few to capture and claim credit for.

If you're trying to take credit and someone discovers you're a demon, that would be a huge problem!

However, now that the [Disguise Card] is back in her hands, she no longer needs to worry about her identity being exposed.

She could have easily spared those damn human traffickers... making money isn't shameful.

If you're suspected, just investigate... It can't possibly take 12 hours, right?

……

Several hours had probably passed? Anyway, Chloe had buried her head in the sack and taken a nap. She didn't quite understand... why didn't she sleep when these little trash posed no threat?

Anyway, it was still dark, and the group of slave traders seemed to have arrived near the town.

It seemed that they were almost at their destination when someone entered Chloe's carriage and hid her... he stuffed her into a large basket and covered her with a layer of fresh chives.

During this time, it seemed that a mid-level mage came and cast a sleep spell on her, as if to make sure she didn't move when the examination was over.

Why did they put her head down like that?! What if she had a brain hemorrhage?

Am I not an important "commodity"? Don't take me for granted just because I'm "given away for free"!

Chloe thought to herself, and her desire to kill these human traffickers grew even stronger.

Killing intent gradually arises.jpg

During the journey, Chloe learned that the carriage she was in seemed to contain normal goods... while the other "goods" of these human traffickers appeared to be in other carriages.

Moreover, these human traffickers weren't too brazen. Of the five carriages, Chloe sensed that only two of them had people hidden inside, and those people were scattered among the goods.

Including her, there seem to be only four "products".
