Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

Chapter 2894 Town Infrastructure Construction in Full Swing 13

Ten minutes ago.

Jin Chen followed the coordinates marked by 999 into the desolate forest.

Dressed in white, he stood out conspicuously in the dim, green forest. Occasionally, some impatient, low-level mutated creatures would pounce out, only to be inexplicably knocked into trees and left dizzy before they could even get close.

Soon, Jin Chen approached the location of the protagonist, indicated by 999.

It was the entrance to a cave located on a shady, desolate hillside, dark and exuding a cold, foul odor.

Fresh bone fragments and fur were scattered outside the cave, along with bloodstains.

At the cave entrance, a massive, mutated creature growled anxiously.

It looked like a tiger, but was a size larger than a normal mutated tiger. Several bone spurs protruded from its back, its head was deformed, its fangs protruded, and saliva dripped from its mouth. It used its front paws to paw at the bloody and mangled human corpse at the entrance of the cave, trying to drag the corpse away with its fangs.

Jin Chen didn't recognize the person, but the corpse was being torn apart by the monster, and it looked like the last intact part was about to be destroyed.

Jin Chen stopped and casually broke off a branch from a dead shrub beside him, flicking his wrist.

call out--

The branch shot into the mutated monster's right eye.

"Ow!!!"

The monster suddenly stood upright, shaking its head wildly, black blood gushing from its right eye socket, and scratching haphazardly with its front claws.

The human corpse was thrown off and rolled into the nearby bushes, where it was temporarily preserved.

Jin Chen didn't even glance at the monster that was writhing in agony and crashing around wildly. He slowly strolled past it and stepped into the dark cave.

The cave was even darker inside than outside, and the ground was rugged. Jin Chen walked a few meters, turned a corner, and, by the faint light coming through the cave entrance, saw Yan Genggu lying unconscious in a corner.

Two smaller, cub-like mutated creatures hissed and crawled toward the unconscious Yan Genggu, opening their mouths filled with fine, sharp teeth.

Jin Chen's eyes flickered slightly.

With a light kick, a fist-sized rock smashed into the head of one of the little monsters, making it stagger and become dizzy.

Jin Chen flashed over and knelt down beside Yan Genggu. He checked Yan Genggu's breathing and pulse. Thankfully, he was not dead.

Otherwise, Lu Jun's trip would have been in vain.

Jin Chen dragged Yan Genggu further into a corner, away from the little creatures.

He also secretly made a mental note of a certain unsuspecting guy.

The reincarnation of the guardian deity failed in his duties, forcing him to save people. It's not unreasonable for him to ask Lu Jun for two thousand points as payment for this service.

[Note: Cold medicine.]

"Yes, Lord Jinchen." 999's voice was weak as he dutifully recorded the message.

After finishing these tasks, Jin Chen sat down beside him and looked down at his clothes. He had inevitably picked up some moss when he came in, and there were several dirty patches on his cuffs and hem.

He simply rubbed himself on the ground again.

Just as they finished dressing, two slightly larger monsters, attracted by the bloody smell and the presence of living people in the cave, crawled out from the depths of the cave with bloodshot eyes and drooling, growling as they approached him and Yan Genggu.

Jin Chen kicked it away. The monster staggered, shook its head, bared its teeth and growled, lingering and looking for an opportunity.

Yan Genggu, who was leaning against the stone wall, trembled his eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes.

The dull pain in the back of his head made his vision go black, and it took a while for his vision to clear.

He rolled his eyes blankly, then saw Jin Chen sitting not far from him, and the ugly monster.

"Jin Chen? What are you doing here...?"

Jin Chen turned around, his face dirty, and wiped it with the relatively clean lining of his sleeve.

"Where am I? I don't know, I just woke up."

He seemed startled by the monster's roar, and moved back a little, looking helpless.

Yan Genggu was stunned.

The Jin Chen before him was a disheveled and vulnerable sight he had never seen before, his face streaked with black and gray, his hair in disarray, and his eyes filled with fear.

But he always felt that something was wrong, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

The pain in the back of his head and the treacherous environment before him prevented Yan Genggu from thinking deeply. He struggled to sit up straight, which aggravated the abrasions on his body, causing him to gasp in pain.

Were you also captured?

"Yes." Jin Chen nodded firmly.

He was still wiping his face with his sleeve, making his face even more smeared.

"Don't worry, Lord Huo will come to save me."

Yan Genggu: "..."

You don't seem very scared!

"Roar!"

The lingering monster grew impatient and approached again with a low growl, while another one emerged from the shadows, forming a pincer attack.

Their patience ran out, their eyes flashed with ferocity, and they crouched low on their hind legs, ready to pounce.

Yan Genggu's heart tightened.

"There are people inside! It's Professor Yan! And...Teacher Jin!!!"

Terrified screams came from the direction of the cave entrance.

Immediately afterwards, hurried and chaotic footsteps approached, the firelight flickered, and several figures rushed in!

As Huo Zhaoye saw the scene inside the cave amidst the interplay of light and shadow at the entrance, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart felt as if it had been squeezed tightly.

What is Jin Chen doing here! Shouldn't he be in town?!

Lu Jun ran the fastest.

In the firelight, the first thing he saw when he rushed in was Jin Chen, who was incredibly fragile, filthy, and looked like he was about to kick the bucket at any moment.

Without hesitation, Lu Jun rushed towards Jin Chen, shouting, "Teacher Jin! Hang in there!"

Jinchen: “???”

Are you blind?!

Just as Lu Jun was about to pounce, Jin Chen seemed to react instinctively, narrowly dodging Lu Jun's rescue path. Her hasty movements caused Lu Jun to miss his target.

Lu Jun's attack missed its mark, and he staggered, almost crashing into the stone wall. He turned around in surprise and met Yan Gengu in the corner.

Yan Genggu leaned there, the back of his head a dark red, blood soaking his clothes on his shoulders.

Lu Jun's heart tightened for no reason. The stinging pain in his heart came before his worry, and he didn't even have time to think about where this emotion came from.
