Chapter 27

"Contractor No. 1013, you have triggered one of the hidden main quests in this space. Please choose whether to accept it!"

Accompanying this sudden announcement from the Nightmare Space, a blood-red countdown appeared after the option to accept or decline!

3, 2, 1!...

"Accept!" Zhao Futu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, cursing the Nightmare Space in his heart. In less than three seconds, the space clearly did not intend to let him see the situation clearly but forced him to make a choice first! Although he did not know what lay ahead, he instinctively decided to accept the quest first.

The blood-red countdown disappeared, but the next task prompt did not sound.

"Damn it! You're screwing me over!" Zhao Futu muttered a curse and continued to cautiously approach the front.

Now, over a hundred werewolves had emerged from the castle, leaving traces of battles everywhere, creating a scene of utter chaos. As a genuine human, Zhao Futu had to be extremely cautious in this environment of vampires and werewolves fighting each other. To these two non-human races, he was an outsider and, more importantly, food—food that could restore health and stamina!

"Help!... Help me!..."

In the narrow, dimly lit hallway, a delicate-looking woman was lying on the ground, her shoulder covered in blood, with a deep, bone-visible wound that showed signs of being bitten. She looked no different from the other human maids who had been attacked by werewolves, except that she had been luckier, encountering the vampire who had just attacked Zhao Futu, who then killed the werewolf attacking her and saved her.

However, with such severe injuries and such obvious bite marks, the maid was clearly infected with the werewolf virus.

That's why the heavily injured vampire baron did not drink her blood to heal himself but chose to attack Zhao Futu, who had just approached. For vampires, blood infected with the werewolf virus was a highly toxic poison, and he did not dare risk drinking the blood of the maid, who was likely infected.

"Are you okay?" Zhao Futu walked over, gently helped her up, and examined her injuries with his hands.

But as soon as he approached the delicate-looking maid, he noticed something very surprising: her abdomen was slightly swollen, and her breasts were quite full, showing clear signs of pregnancy, and the baby in her womb was already over six months old!

In an instant!

All of Zhao Futu's doubts vanished.

He almost immediately understood when all of this was happening and what the hidden main quest the Nightmare Space would assign him was.

"Contractor No. 1013 accepts the hidden main quest in this space!"

"Quest Objective: Save the woman's life and protect the baby in her womb from this crisis! Ensure they are not attacked by werewolves or vampires again!"

"Quest Reward: 5% exploration of hidden plot! Inherent favor of the Werewolf King Lucien!"

"Quest Punishment: Erasure!!!"

...

Lucien!

Indeed, it was the yet-to-be-born Lucien!

Zhao Futu immediately understood the arrangement and knew who the unborn baby in her womb was! The Werewolf King Lucien was originally a slave to the vampires, growing up under the watchful eye of Vampire Prince Victor. It was because of his appearance that the second generation of werewolves, capable of transforming back into human form, began to proliferate. The second deep mutation of the werewolf bloodline replaced the original ancestral werewolf bloodline, which could never transform back into human form!

"No! Her injuries are too severe! She needs immediate treatment!" With just one glance, Zhao Futu realized the difficulty of the task.

The maid's shoulder wound was very serious, and it was unclear if the werewolf that attacked her was the one on the ground, but it had bitten through half of her shoulder bone! Such severe injuries and the massive blood loss had brought her to the brink of death. If not for the innate greatness of motherhood, she would not have survived until Zhao Futu arrived.

However, her injuries were now almost fatal.

Due to the massive blood loss, she was extremely weak, her face as pale as paper, and she seemed to be on the verge of death! One of the reasons werewolves did not proliferate was that these primitive werewolves lacked rationality, and many humans they attacked died from severe injuries before the werewolf virus could fully infect them and trigger the powerful self-healing abilities of werewolves.

"With such severe injuries, the current medical technology can't save her!" Zhao Futu thought and understood the direction the quest would take.

Such a fatal, comminuted bone fracture would be treatable in a modern, technologically advanced medical setting, but in this primitive and ignorant medieval era, it was almost impossible to treat. To save the woman, he needed to continuously stimulate her will to survive, helping her endure until the werewolf virus in her body matured and began to exhibit the powerful self-healing abilities of werewolves!

Now, only transforming into a werewolf could heal her severe injuries.

The reason Lucien successfully mutated into the second generation of werewolves was that the werewolf virus in his body was transmitted through his mother's body, forming a genetic mutation similar to the second generation, completely changing the original savage and bloodthirsty ancestral werewolf bloodline, and further mutating into the second generation of werewolves capable of transforming at will!

It was from Lucien that the Vampire Prince began to consider cultivating a loyal group of werewolf guards.

"Bang!"

"Rumble!"

Just as Zhao Futu had finished a simple bandage for the injured woman, a fierce battle erupted ahead. He then saw the giant werewolf transformed by Cain and an old vampire wielding a silver-spiked whip in combat! The old vampire was extremely powerful, using his silver-spiked whip to beat the giant werewolf transformed by Cain without any resistance!

Without time to speculate on his identity, Zhao Futu scooped up the woman and rushed down another corridor.

Her injuries were very severe and required further treatment. There were many werewolves in this area, and if they encountered another one, Zhao Futu's current strength would not be enough to protect her. The top priority now was to get her out of here, find a safe place, and help her survive until the werewolf virus in her body began to exhibit its self-healing effects!

Time was life!

Every second spent here increased the danger.
