Crash-landed On An Island With Nine Beauties novel Chapter 40

[Ping! The farmed rice field poses success! Unlocked a hidden task!]

Damien jumped up in the foam board.

"No not again. Not hidden tasks."

He was reluctant to check out what the hidden task would be. After all, that was what he had just woken up to.

Like the system cared.

[Ping! Hidden Task: Save your subjects and unlock 4000 experience points.]

"My subjects?"

Damien only got more confused.

"What does this dumb system mean by my subjects? Could it be the girls?"

He jumped on his feet and hurried out of his room. He didn't even bathe yet. When he got to the living room, there was none of the girls in view.

"Maybe they are sleeping?"

He looked around. He saw the stick from yesterday. The stick with which Claire had threatened him. He didn't even bother to check whether or not she passed the night in the castle or returned to the cave.

"Or maybe they are outside fighting? But there's no noise."

He decided to go check it out for himself. He searched around the compound but found no trace of them. He couldn't even find their footprints.

"Obviously they are still indoors."

He put his finger to mouth to stimulate his thoughts.

"Hell, that stinks!"

He hadn't have a proper bathe since few days now. Since they started and completed the farming of the rice field.

The main reason wasn't really anything worthwhile. He just wanted to go have a swim in the waterfall. But he guessed that today wasn't the day. He would have to stink the day out.

"If it's not the girls, then could it be the--"

"Holy shit, the Cannibals? Oh, my subjects! The Cannibals! But wait, if the system calls the Cannibals my subjects, then what would it call the girls? Has it ever refered to the girls at once... like --"

~ fool, that's not necessary. let's go right now. ~

"That voice sounds familiar."

Damien looked to the gate and saw the wolf who had telapathed with him.

"Where have you --"

Damien recalled his last experience with the wolf and refused to the complete the statement. He pretended not to see her and ran past her, running into the woods.

He halted at the base of the Boabab tree. The wolf outran him. He glared at her but she looked away indifferently.

THIS FOOL.

~ this bastard. ~

Damien's jaw stiffened. How could he had forgotten that she could hear his thoughts?

He climbed up the tree to the watchtower and picked up the rifle of the poacher. He pursed his lips, contemplating.

"Whatever."

He wore its strap around his back and slid down the tree.

"I don't know what the problem is, but I should be prepared."

He started running in the direction of the Cannibal village but then halted suddenly. The wolf halted behind him, looking away, not willing to make an eye contact with him.
