Master

Click-click—

Snap—Snap—Bang!

The warm underground cavern was quickly excavated.

Then Linsey threw down the two corpses and an unconscious prisoner.

"Um..."

Hong, who had been sleeping for half a day, was awakened by the noise and lazily got up in front of the campfire. "Linsey, what are you up to?"

The girl got up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and stretched her arms.

As consciousness returned.

She then caught a whiff of the cave's scent.

That was a different taste from both myself and Linsey; it was the taste of a stranger!

There's an outsider! Hong instantly snapped back to reality, grabbing the Wood Poison Javelin and turning her gaze toward the source of the sound.

The cave was brightly lit by torches.

Red quickly spotted the three humans stacked together, and Linsey, who had just landed on the ground and was waving her arms overhead.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Several clear sounds rang out, and the cave was sealed off again.

Linsey turned to Hong and waved, "Come on, help me move this family's goods over there."

"You got all excited for nothing." Red shrugged and went over to help Linsey drag the three of them back to camp. "I thought there had been an enemy invasion."

Linsey replied, "It's pretty much the same; they're almost right above us."

Hong continued, "Where did these guys come from? Were they the minions of the Dragon Beast?"

Linsey shook her head:

"It's hard to say, but it certainly wasn't well-intentioned."

He briefly recounted what had happened on the snow, concluding with a key statement:

"These guys are very strange."

"Aside from the emotional fluctuations during battle, their emotional fluctuations at other times were extremely weak. Whether it was before they died or when they saw their comrades being subdued and threatened by me, they did not have the reactions that normal human beings should have."

What Red cared about was the abilities of the three people Linsey described. "Linsey, you said their skills are exactly the same as mine?"

Linsey pointed to one of the corpses. "At least the deathly aura and killing intent were exactly the same, and this guy could also create physical afterimages from the spear in his hand."

What do you think their origins are?

Linsey pointed to the guy who had been knocked unconscious after being shot with an arrow:

"I left one alive specifically for questioning, didn't I?"

Meanwhile, product information is also being disseminated to these three individuals.

[Body: The Revivalist]

[The corpse of Revivalist has successfully undergone mutation and is then killed again.]

[Old bones of low value.]

[The Undead: The Revivalist]

[An individual who successfully mutated after being revived from a corpse. Possesses normal intelligence and the basic Source Material Skill, and enjoys killing the living to enhance its own abilities.]

Undead slaves, difficult to control, are hard to sell.

"..."

"The Revivalist?"

Before opening the product information, Linsey had no idea that this would be the result!

He even opened his Hunting Notes, somewhat incredulously.

Only after clearly seeing that the kill count had changed from 143 to 145 did he confirm his previous results.

It is neither an enemy of unknown origin nor a strange species that imitates humans.

They are Living Corpse resurrected from human corpses! No wonder they don't care about the life or death of their companions and can maintain such a stable emotional state.

Red, who was standing nearby, also heard Linsey's voice:

"The Revivalist?"

"You mean those resurrected corpses?"

"Your statement," Linsey nodded affirmatively, "If my various abilities are correct, then it should be true."

Following her train of thought, Hong began to speculate. "So these people were adventurers who died in the Black Mountain."

"Their bodies unexpectedly revived, then wandered around the Thousand Mountains Stone Forest, where we eventually stumbled upon them?"

Linsey shared the same thought as Red, but he was more cautious. "That's about it."

"But just to be on the safe side, let's ask this guy."

"And don't forget, these guys are of the same kind as your skills. I've never seen any awakened ones like this in the Hidden Borderlands."

As soon as he finished speaking, Linsey pulled the arrow out of the other man's shoulder and stuffed it back into his bag.

Next came two slaps to the face.

Snap! Snap! "Hmm..."

"Ah?"

When the unconscious Revivalist awoke, the first thing he saw was Linsey in front of him.

"Go to hell..."

The Revivalist, who had intended to retaliate immediately, fell silent after only managing to shout a few words.

Because he cannot control his body.

The Hunting Notes clearly state that one of the weaknesses of the Revivalist is the Essence life and death.

Linsey is exactly the former.

If they were to fight other Awakened Ones, given the endurance of the Revivalist, both killing and controlling them would be quite troublesome.

But they just happened to run into Linsey, their nemesis.

Seeing the Revivalist fall silent, Linsey smiled with satisfaction.

"Now that you have successfully undergone the mutation, you should have also regained your previous memories."

"Let me tell you about my background first."

"You know about the aberration?" Linsey's question drew the attention of the Revivalist, whose attitude was predictably terrible. "Then you should also understand that there's nothing to talk about between the living and the dead."

Hong, standing to the side, tried to say:

"We hope you will answer honestly, and we can still prepare a decent burial place for you."

I heard a female voice from the side.

The Revivalist turned his head and retorted sarcastically:

"How could a dead person care..."

The person Revivalist suddenly stopped moving.

He looked at the girl so close to him, his eyes filled with disbelief, excitement, and joy that were almost impossible to fake, but deep within his expression, there was also an indelible fear:

"You... it's you!"

Linsey hadn't taken off her Sapphire Glasses yet.

In his vision, the blue halo symbolizing a calm state of mind suddenly turned into an extremely vibrant green, but in the deepest part of this halo, the red rooted in the soul also emerged.

Blue symbolizes calmness.

Green represents excitement and joy.

Red corresponds to fear.

Previously, Linsey could only use red and some wild animals as test subjects. Now, with the Revivalist as a reference, the emotional aura detected by the Sapphire Glasses can be considered to have truly clarified the rules.

Upon confirming the acquisition, seeing the other party's incredibly excited expression, Linsey couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The same skills, and both living in the Black Mountain World.

Based on the other party's current reaction, this Revivalist undoubtedly knows Red's identity.

Furthermore, his respectful way of addressing the color red is a good indicator.

This Revivalist will most likely not refuse to answer Red's question.

The questions that have been lingering for the past six months are about to be answered.

So... was the one he rescued from the Dragon Beast prison Demon King or a princess? Just as Linsey was feeling uneasy and nervous.

As expected, the emotionally charged Revivalist continued to speak to Red.

Unable to contain his emotions, he shouted loudly with immense excitement:

"Master, please head to Black Mountain immediately and reclaim the power that belongs to you!"
