Chapter 14: Night of the Blood Moon (XIV)
Using the 'I am the eldest lady' skill again, Nan Huan was much more comfortable.
Not only had he tried it once in the morning, but more importantly, Nan Huan discovered that after he had just said that, the black shadow's trust in him had increased by a few points.
Nan Huan used himself as a living bait and lured a large number of voodoo dolls that followed him to the basement into the wine cellar.
She led them around the wine cellar several times, until most of the dolls that followed her had entered the room, and then she let the black shadow send herself out through the crack of the door like she did in the morning.
Just before the wine cellar door was closed, Nan Huan caught a glimpse of the armored knight who had been standing behind the door and began to move.
In fact, if she had enough time, she would have something to ask the knight, but now was not the time.
Although she framed a lot of voodoo dolls at once, in addition to the voodoo doll that was still fighting with Cui Zhongming upstairs, there were dozens of dolls that came down late left in the living room.
They had lost the direction of their target at first and were now running around in a panic. When they saw Nan Huan coming out of the basement, they immediately chased after him.
Nan Huan had just come out of the wine cellar with a few voodoo dolls following him.
The doll containing the maid's heart was coaxed into the wine cellar by herself, and the rest were as disabled as her.
Nan Huan rested for a while in the wine cellar. Now he was fully recovered and could run for a while. He originally planned to take them to the second floor, which had the most rooms, to play a real game of hide-and-seek.
As a result, as soon as he arrived in the living room, he was blocked tightly. In desperation, he ran towards the door.
This was her first time going out since she came here, but she didn't expect it to be under such circumstances.
Outside the castle is a large manor, which looks green from a distance, like a neatly trimmed garden, but the entrance is gray, as if it has not been cleaned for a long time. The weeds are almost half a person tall, and it looks very desolate.
But this height is a good place for Nanhuan, who has now become a baby, to hide.
Without thinking, she stretched out her short legs and dodged into the ochre weeds before the voodoo doll behind her pounced on her.
After being scaled down, these half-human-high weeds look like tall, straight trees to Nanhuan.
She played the hide-and-seek game in a high-end version for the wild, which was acceptable.
There were weeds everywhere and no roads, so it was not easy to walk along Nanhuan.
After coming in, she deliberately slowed down her pace and lowered her voice. For a moment, the bush was quiet.
The dense noise following behind him gradually became quieter.
But even so, Nan Huan did not dare to let his guard down.
The stiff arm had lost all feeling long ago, yet Nan Huan told her that its movements were somewhat unchanged. In addition, apart from taking a short rest in the wine cellar just now, she had been moving all the time during this period.
Now that I've slowed down a bit, my body's fatigue is starting to show.
But she knew that it was now the final critical moment, and she could not let her guard down, so she had to endure the pain and keep moving forward.
The tall weeds completely blocked Nan Huan's vision. She couldn't tell the direction or see what was in front of her.
Until she sniffed and seemed to smell a burnt smell.
At first when she first came in, she didn't pay much attention to it, but the further she went inside, the stronger the smell became.
And as she went deeper, the surroundings became quieter and quieter, with only the sound of her furry legs stepping on the weeds.
Nan Huan's face didn't look very good. She always felt that it was too quiet here. There was not even the sound of insects or birds. She couldn't help but tense up.
Suddenly, in the quiet weeds, a few low gasps were heard, like the low breathing of some wild animal.
Nan Huan held her breath, trying to figure out where the sound came from. The next second, she gently pushed aside the weeds in front of her, and her short legs froze in place when she saw the scene in front of her.
She saw a black hound standing in front of her, with its tongue hanging out and its nose stretched out, sniffing hard.
It was raised to be strong and sturdy, taller than the average Border Collie, with hair that glowed black, sharp eyes, and long, strong limbs.
Even if Nanhuan was in human form, he would not do anything exciting if he suddenly encountered such a hound. What's more, Nanhuan, who had turned into a baby, had to look up to see the hound's full appearance.
Although she was surprised in her heart, she did not dare to show any panic on her face, for fear of irritating the giant in front of her.
【bite--
Tip: You have stepped into the doctor's experimental field without permission. Please be careful of the guardian of the experimental field.
There are only 20 minutes left for hide-and-seek. 】
An untimely reminder sound rang at this moment.
This dog game.
I have been wandering around in here for nearly five minutes and the reminder only appeared at this time.
Why don't you wait until the hound in front of you swallows you whole before reminding yourself?
Her expression remained unchanged, but secretly her teeth were almost broken.
The hound didn't seem to react and wondered what this little thing that suddenly appeared in front of him was.
It lowered its head and moved close to Nanhuan's face, as if wanting to smell it. What on earth was in front of it?
Nan Huan didn't dare to breathe. In her current state, she couldn't even outrun a doll like herself, let alone the hound in front of her whose legs were longer and faster than her, so she gave up the idea of running away at the beginning.
Moreover, she checked the other party's body immediately and found that there didn't seem to be any black energy or anything, so it should be a normal hound.
The opponent didn't show any aggressive behavior towards her at the beginning, so she decided to remain unchanged in the face of change.
Even though the other person came close to her and sniffed her, she did not step back.
【bite--
The potential target hound has been detected. The trust in the player has reached 20. Do you want to use the skill "I am the eldest lady"?
Note: This use consumes three points, and can make the hound become the lady's "general servant" for one minute. During this process, the general servant will obey your orders. 】
As the prompt sounded, Nan Huan saw that there was also a number hanging on the hound's head.
She thought her skills could only be used on players or monsters in the game, but she didn't expect that they could also be used on normal animals. This was another discovery.
While Nan Huan was sorting out the system prompts, the hound had already confirmed the scent on Nan Huan. After taking a step back, it happily wagged its tail at the other party.
Nan Huan looked at his remaining points, then looked at the hound's smooth and watery back, and was very happy.
Nanhuan: Use skills, consuming 60 points.
System: Please confirm whether to spend sixty points to make the hound the young lady's 'ordinary servant' for the next twenty minutes.
Nanhuan: Confirmed.
The novice gift pack gave 100 points, and the task of cleaning the doctor's room awarded another 150 points. The two operations of controlling the black shadow cost a total of 40 points.
Although she was not well off now, she still spent a huge sum of sixty points.
During the next twenty minutes of hide-and-seek, a part-time guard mount was selected.
As she spoke in confirmation, the hound nudged Nan Huan's chin with its head, almost making her sit on the ground.
"Are you guarding something here for the doctor? What's in the experimental field?"
Nan Huan stood on tiptoe, and when the hound lowered its head, he stroked the tip of its ear and tried to talk to it.
Since he has become my ordinary servant and will obey my orders, he should be able to understand what I say, right?
She would naturally not ignore the other party's previous prompt just because the system reminded her that she could use her skills.
This is the doctor's experimental field, and the hound is the guardian of the experimental field. He accidentally broke in, so he must want to know what's in here, right?
It was not known whether the hound was originally well-behaved or because Nan Huan used a skill on it, but it seemed to feel comfortable when Nan Huan stroked its ears. It arched its body and opened its mouth, breathing towards Nan Huan.
After hearing what the other person said, he tilted his head, as if trying to understand what the other person said, and then turned his head to look in one direction.
Nan Huan was in poor health and didn't dare to keep any pets at home, so she had never thought of keeping such an idea.
But now, the fur under her hands was soft and warm. Seeing that this hound understood some human nature, she couldn't help but rub it twice more.
"Is there something in that direction? Take me over there to have a look."
Although there are some problems in communication, after all, what is in front of us is just a spiritual dog. It can't write words like those dogs with hair.
There was no point in Nan Huan getting anxious, so he could only try to understand the other party's behavior.
When the hound heard Nan Huan's direction, it reacted quite quickly. It turned around and walked in that direction, not forgetting to look back at Nan Huan, probably meaning to take her there.
But before he started walking, he suddenly turned his head, lay down on the ground, turned his head to his back, and nodded towards Nanhuan.
Now Nanhuan understood what the other party meant. It wanted Nanhuan to sit on its back.
Although Nan Huan had this idea early on, when he saw the actions of the hound in front of him, he still felt that it was too human.
If Nanhuan had not turned into a baby, he probably wouldn't have needed a hunting dog to carry him.
But she was only as tall as a palm now, and was exhausted from running long ago. She didn't know how many voodoo dolls there were in the grass, so she didn't have any psychological burden.
Rubbing against the other's shiny black fur, he used his hands and feet to climb onto his back and sit down.
Although this was the first time for him to ride a dog, it was probably similar to riding a horse. Nan Huan learned it by himself. He stroked the long black hair on the hound's back with his hand and used it as a rein.
But when the hound started walking, Nan Huan realized that he was worrying too much.
Maybe because it was carrying people on its back, it walked very steadily.
After walking only two steps, Nan Huan let go of my hand.
Now sitting on the back, her vision was much wider and she could see the scenery in front of her clearly.
There is a large garden in the front yard of the castle. The rest of the areas are well maintained, with flowers and plants and fences. The only area facing the main building is a large patch of barren grass, with only a weed-free patch in the middle. I don't know what is planted there; it's too far away to see clearly.
But Nan Huan felt that the place the hound was carrying her to was exactly there.
The hound's steps were much more agile than hers, and in a short while, she reached the center.
I saw that this place was not empty. It seemed like a small garden that had been opened up separately. Among the well-growing green leaves, many purple flower buds could be seen, about to bloom.
Nan Huan didn't see anything strange about the flower at first, but when she slid down from the hound's back in the few seconds she looked back, she saw that the originally purple bud had fully bloomed into an enchanting flower.
Seeing this, the hunting dog slowly walked over, and swallowed the newly bloomed flower into its stomach with a gulp, leaving Nan Huan stunned.
Didn't you say you are the guardian?
Is this how you protect?
