Chapter 12: The Brilliant Shadow
The jungle was full of weeds and shrubs.
And right under these weeds, it was obvious that an object was moving quickly, causing the weeds to sway left and right, which was very obvious.
"Is the enemy some kind of monster? No, it's not necessarily an enemy 'person'. The system said it was an invading enemy..."
Lin Ke frowned and shouted to the panicked guards over there: "Guards, raise your swords! The one coming is just a beast!"
Hearing the words of their young master, the guards calmed down a little, tightened the hilts in their hands, and waited.
That thing was moving quickly in the weeds, getting closer and closer to their convoy...
Suddenly!
"Wow——"
A white shadow jumped up from the grass and rushed over here.
"Kill!"
"For the glory of Azan!"
"Kill!!"
The dozen guards immediately chopped down their raised swords.
However, the white shadow turned an angle in mid-air, and then passed the guards and landed on the roof of one of the ox carts, causing the maid in the cart to scream.
Lin Ke's pupils shrank.
The white shadow clearly used extremely sophisticated skills to use the back of the sword to jump out before the sword hit him.
What a sophisticated skill! What a nimble move!
"Wait... wait! I... I have no ill intentions!" The white shadow stood on the roof and spoke a weak and hurried Naseng common language.
The voice was extremely childish, and it sounded like a little boy who went to the playground and lost his mother.
Wronged, begging, confused, and at a loss.
And when Lin Ke looked closely...
Rabbit! What a big rabbit!
A rabbit more than one meter tall!
But he was not too surprised by the rabbit. After all, the Internet information bombardment in his previous life was still somewhat useful. Let alone rabbits, there were so many anthropomorphic things in his previous life.
"Who are you? Why did you attack our convoy!"
Without waiting for Lin Ke to ask, John played the role of a close manservant and asked the rabbit questions.
Obviously, John also thought that the rabbit was harmless.
The rabbit looked over here and saw John, who looked fierce but was actually weak, and Lin Ke, who looked calm.
"Sir, save me! Save me!" Seeing Lin Ke, the rabbit flashed and actually jumped from the roof of the car to Lin Ke's side.
"Master, be careful!" John was shocked and stood in front of Lin Ke in an instant without thinking.
But the rabbit did not attack them, but stopped in front of them, then knelt on one knee and lowered his head:
"Dear human noble, if you are willing to lend a hand, I, Nix, will become your follower."
Rabbit man! Follower!
Lin Ke's heart moved, and suddenly thought of the reward of the unreliable system.
[The first follower with great potential]
This is the first time he has heard the title of "follower" in the past few days.
So... is it him?
This boy from the rabbit tribe?
If the mission fails, the follower will die.
Even if he fails, will the rabbit boy be killed by the pursuers?
He was confused, and then Lin Ke smiled and walked forward.
"Master, be careful!"
John stood in front of Lin Ke, fearing that the rabbit man Nix in front of him would suddenly attack and hurt people.
Lin Ke patted John: "It's okay."
Nonsense, this rabbit man jumps up and down, climbs walls and flies over rooftops, why would he kneel on one knee if he really wants to kill me?
John didn't dare to disobey Lin Ke, so he stepped aside and Lin Ke walked forward.
Lin Ke was originally a head taller than the rabbit man Nix.
After the rabbit man knelt on one knee, he was even taller.
The sun shone down, casting Lin Ke's shadow on the rabbit man Nix's body.
Well...sunlight...shadow...halo...
Maybe...
The operation of the task should be...
Looking at Nix in the shadow, Lin Ke smiled softly and warmly: "You get up first, I am willing to help you, but you need to tell me what happened first? I have to be responsible for my servants."
He bent down, stretched out his hand, and tilted his head slightly, so that he could reveal a little sunlight behind him.
Rabbit Nix raised his head and was speechless for a while: "I...I..."
Rabbit Nix saw that the human noble boy in front of him was showing a gentle, compassionate, kind and noble look, and he stretched out his hand very friendly to help him up.
A layer of halo was generated around the noble boy, shining brilliantly, and cast a shadow, just covering one of Nix's eyes.
Ah...the sunlight is really bright and dazzling, but...but it is really warm...Rabbit Nix couldn't help but squint, and then couldn't help but put his hand on it.
I...met the person who saved me.
"Come on, get up... Tell me, what are you running for?" Lin Ke held Nix's hand, and then asked gently.
The rabbit Nix looked like a rabbit, but he was wearing clothes and pants made of linen, and his hands were also five fingers.
Nix quickly shook his little nose, and two lines of tears flowed out, which made Lin Ke raise his eyebrows.
How come the speed of these tears flowed faster than the three-second man? !
"They are all dead! They are all dead! Wuuwuwu..." The rabbit Nix cried and looked extremely sad. It seemed that because of Lin Ke's warmth, he let down his guard.
Seeing this, Lin Ke first made a look at John.
John nodded and immediately went over to let the guards continue patrolling. Although he was a little stupid, he still had some tacit understanding with Lin Ke.
Lin Ke once again asked the rabbit man Nix gently: "Nix, tell me first, are there any pursuers behind you? What are they?"
Lin Ke was ready. If it was an irresistible enemy, he would rather not have this [highly potential] follower.
After all, in his eyes, the lives of him, his mother, John, and the lives of so many people in Azan Castle were much more important than a single follower.
Not to mention followers who have only known each other for less than two minutes.
And Nix seemed to have just reacted, and the two long ears that had fallen down stood up again.
He wiped his tears and said in panic: "Two tigers! Big tigers! I just heard your voice, shake them off and run away, they will follow the scent!"
tiger?
And...is it the bunnyman who was attracted by my voice...
So the function of the system is almost certain, but...
"Are there only two tigers?" Inadvertently, Lin Ke couldn't help but stroke Nicks' ears gently.
It's fluffy and soft. Damn it.
"Yes! But it's a tiger who has enlightened his bloodline! It should be equivalent to a first- or second-level professional!" Nick's voice revealed fear.
First or second level... professional?
Can animal monsters also initiate bloodlines and take up jobs?
Lin Ke was already relieved, but his heart became tense again.
Moreover, if they are pursued by humans, they can hand over Knicks and they can continue into the city or return home.
But if it is a beast, it is incommunicable.
It seems we must fight!
This deceptive system!
"Prepare for war! Prepare for war quickly!"
Lin Ke stood up, dragging the iron sword, then turned around and smiled: "John, you and Nix go in first and protect my mother, do you hear me?"
John nodded vigorously and pulled Nix inside.
Lin Ke smiled, John was like that, if he was asked to hide, he would definitely not do it and would stand in front of Lin Ke.
But if he was asked to protect his mother, he would be willing to go there and be a cat.
Lin Ke looked around and judged the position of the sun and the direction from which Knicks came.
"If it's sunlight... it's best to stand on the roof of the car."
Therefore, Lin Ke, who suddenly had new ideas about the system, quickly came to the last bullock cart, and then climbed to the roof of the bullock cart using his hands and feet.
"Guardians of Azan, gather together, hold on to your weapons, and protect ourselves!"
Lin Ke tried his best to keep his voice as low and loud as possible, and shouted down below.
In fact, all the guards had just gathered at the back of the motorcade because of Knicks, so they all heard Lin Ke's voice.
"Everyone, get out of the car! Look at how our Azane's guards repel those beasts!" Lin Ke came up with a plan and shouted to the servants in the car again.
After all, if there were no humans and no long-range attack methods such as bows and arrows, there would be no need for the servants to hide in the carriage.
It can also have other effects when it comes out.
The male servants and maids showed their heads one after another, just enough to see the guards standing in front of the last carriage, and above the carriage was Lin Ke, who was dressed in fiery red luxurious clothes.
"Wow, those guards are so impressive!"
"Yes, yes, isn't that little Jock? Oh! What a handsome young man!"
"Hahahaha."
"Look! That's my dear brother, my brother George W. Bush!"
"Andrew's Legs, our young master is so mighty! Praise Azan!"
Servants and slaves pointed and whispered.
The guards were a little scared at first, but when they heard Lin Ke's words, they used their peripheral vision to see the servants over there and heard those conversations.
They couldn't help but puff out their chests to make themselves look more powerful.
Expressionism.
