Chapter 96: Anne Veroga's Secret

"Aowu——!!"

Seeing this scene in front of you, whether it was Lijie who had not yet stood up, Malin who was standing by and watching, or Celia and Serek who had just pulled out the weapon from the Death Knight's body, and even Kudra and others were stunned at this moment.

Rhodes was no exception. He stood up and looked at the giant wolf that was howling in the wilderness, and was also shocked.

At this moment, he naturally knew Anne's true identity.

Half a beast!

Just like angels and humans, humans and elves, demons and humans will produce offspring, high-level monsters can also be transformed into human forms and intercourse with humans to give birth to offspring. However, compared with half-angels, half-elves or half-demons, half-beasts are a very rare race. After all, monsters are different from humans. Only those monsters with dominant lord powers can be transformed into humans. If you use the myths and legends of Rhodes' motherland for example, it means that an animal needs to practice for at least a thousand years to be able to practice.

Demonize human form. The dominant lord monster is quite rare and powerful. Any dominant lord can deal with dozens of ordinary swordsman masters who are only level 40 like Serek. Not to mention, although they are transformed into human form, their bodies are still wild beasts after all. Unless they have lived in human society for a long time, they will basically not choose humans as objects of mating and childbirth. Just like no matter how good your dog is to you, it is like going to the street to look for similar people when it is time to estrus... Well, this analogy seems inappropriate.

Rhodes has never seen the half beast race. In the game, there are several strong people who are half beasts themselves, but except for the fact that Anne seems to be a little too strong, there is no difference in the other parts. So Rhodes has never thought about this direction, but now, what should I do?

Looking at the huge black wolf, Rhodes' heart had already sunk to the bottom.

"I really didn't expect..."

Serek also took a breath and came to Rhodes' side.

"This little guy actually has such a secret. What should I do now?"

what to do?

Rhode raised his brow, but did not answer. He was quickly extracting the previous information and tasks about half beasts from his mind to recall how to solve the situation in front of him. According to Rhode's experience, Anne transformed because she was too injured to continue to maintain a kind of self-protection under the human form. But this also means that her reason may have completely disappeared, leaving only the instinct of the beast.

So………

Rhode shook his head, he retracted his thoughts and then sighed.

"Leave it to me."

He waved his hand and then walked towards the black giant wolf.

"Mr. Rhode?"

Seeing Rhode's actions, Marlene and Lijie couldn't help but scream. In fact, their mood was very complicated. After all, no one could accept that the girl who had lived with her day and night would become a wolf. Although as a mage, Marlene knew about this, what she saw in the book was different from what she saw with her own eyes. Not to mention that she was the person she had been with her for several days...

At this moment, Marin looked at the black giant wolf in the distance, feeling a little complicated. She didn't know what Rhode wanted to do, but Marin knew that half beasts had no place in human society. Although theoretically speaking, they were truly noble, because whether they were half-angels, half-elves or half-demons, both of them were human-shaped and born like this. But only the other half of half-beasts was a real monster. In terms of strength alone, any person with half-beast bloodline was much stronger than other races. But perhaps because of the fixed thinking relationship of humans, they could accept other mixed-race species, but they always had an exclusionary attitude towards half-beasts.

Marlene has read in many books that those with half-beast blood can still live a quiet life like ordinary people when they are not known to each other. However, after their identities are exposed, these people are excluded. They have to choose to leave here and start their life again in a place where no one knows it. This is pretty good, and some half-beasts will be arrested and tortured by others to death, or burned to death...

What will Rhodes do?

Looking at Rhode who was slowly walking towards the black giant wolf, Marin didn't know what to say, and she didn't know what to do. Although she had not been in contact with Anne for a long time, she didn't hate Anne at all. Moreover, there were several half-beasts in the Magic Academy, and she would not be afraid of being unfamiliar. But... what choice would Rhode make, Marin really didn't know.

She didn't think Rhode would kill Anne because of fear like those foolish and backward people. But now, facing her who has become a black wolf, what can Rhode do?

He noticed Rhode's arrival, the black wolf arched his body and stared at him vigilantly, without any friendly expression in his flashing green eyes.

It's really troublesome.

Recognizing the black wolf's gaze, Rhode frowned. He was sure that Anne's reason was "sleeping" now, and she was completely relying on instinct to act. If possible, he didn't want to take risks. But Anne risked her life to save them. She sacrificed herself to save everyone here. Of course, it was not worth boasting that she did not obey her orders and acted without authorization, but now... Rhode shook his head, but said nothing.

"Lijie, prepare a healing technique for me later."

Rhode gave an order that made Lijie look inexplicable without looking back, then he came to the black wolf and then stretched out his right hand.

“——!”

Almost instinctively, the black wolf suddenly opened his mouth and bit Rhode's palm in one bite.

This sudden change made Serek's expression slightly change. Even the angel girl held the sword in her hand with a serious expression at this moment, while Lijie covered her mouth in surprise, forcing herself not to scream.

It's really cruel!

Feeling the severe pain from his palm, Rhode gritted his teeth. He could feel the giant wolf's sharp teeth had completely pierced his palm. With a little force, maybe even the entire palm could be pulled off! But he did not retreat because of this, nor did he react. He was betting that Anne was not hostile to them.

If Anne is a rational person, then Rhode will never bet now. Because rational people always like to hide their feelings, and no one except himself knows his true thoughts. It is not surprising that a person like this will do anything once he loses his mind. But Anne is different. She has always lived on her intuition. Rhode can feel that she likes Lijie very much, likes Marlene very much, and is very close to herself. Then such intuition is very likely to be associated with instinct... If this is true, then it would be better. If not, at most he had to knock her unconscious. Anyway, Rhodes would not be able to kill her.

After all, she has done so much for this team.

Holding the pain, Rhodes stretched out his other hand and slowly placed it on the black wolf's head.

“———!!”

Feeling Rhode's movements, the black wolf let out a low roar from his throat, but soon, its eyes narrowed, and it originally bit Rhode's mouth tightly, gradually began to relax a little.

There is a chance!

Feeling the change in the attitude of the black wolf, Rhode was relieved. He still gently stroked the black wolf's head, then reached down, stroked its cheek, and then touched its cold nose. The black wolf had no intention of dodging. On the contrary, it rubbed Rhode's finger intimately, then carefully relaxed, took a few steps back, stretched out his tongue, licked Rhode's injured back, tilted his head, looked at him with a hint of anxiety, and then sat slowly on the ground. I don't know whether it wanted to admit its mistake or was afraid. However, after Rhode patted its head again, the black wolf shook his head satisfied, then closed his eyes and fell asleep on the ground.

Soon, the originally huge body began to shrink instantly, and the thick hair and tail disappeared. After a while, the girl with a strong body appeared in front of Rhode again, but at this time there was no scar on her body, and she was in a deep sleep.

"call…………"

It was not until this time that Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief. He shook his injured right hand, then turned around and looked at Lijie who was rushing towards him.

"Please help me with treatment."

After this unexpected accident, everyone finally relaxed.

The Death Knight was completely killed, and there were no other undead creatures nearby. Just walk out and win. The only thing that made Rhode a little depressed was the equipment on the Death Knight. Although the Death Knight has a lot of good equipment, such as the "Curse Ring" that can apply toxins, and the "Death Gaze" that allows the holder to have dark vision, unfortunately, these equipment that have long been stained with evil aura have completely turned into ashes under the burning of Celia's sacred flames. Looking at the corpse in front of him, Rhode had no other way except helplessness, but even so, he still took the attitude of being a dead horse as a living horse and asked Marin to search the corpse, hoping that her red-handed halo could be rescued...

It has to be said that Marlene's hands were indeed covered in blood - it seems a bit wrong to say this, but she did find a small space bag from the Death Knight's huge armor. As a magic item, it will certainly not be destroyed by the sacred flames. This is also the only thing Rhode can get this time. As for what is inside, Rhode does not intend to open it in front of Serek, and it is not too late to observe it slowly after he goes back.

Then, Rhode, Lijie and others dragged their tired bodies to meet with the others. Just as they walked to Kudra and others, a black shadow suddenly ran out of the crowd and blocked Rhodes.

"What do you mean!"

The half-elf girl looked at Rhode fiercely, with an angry light in her eyes.

"What does it mean."

Faced with the half-elf girl's inquiry, Rhode asked expressionlessly.

"That woman!"

The half-elf reached out and pointed to Anne, who was lying on Old Walker's back, wrapped in a cloak, and still sleeping.

"You actually asked a half-beast of mixed-blood to protect us. What do you want to do? Don't you know that those bastards are very dangerous? What if she attacks us with a beast? You just did it on purpose!"

Hearing this, Lijie and Marlene's expressions immediately became ugly. Behind the half-elf girl, the spiritual masters from the Mercenary Association also looked dark. Although they had not been with Anne for a long time, it can be said that Anne was protecting them along the way. Although Anne was actually a half-beast, it was not something unacceptable for these spiritual masters. Therefore, the spiritual masters felt very uncomfortable that this half-elf actually insulted their life-saving benefactor in their faces. Serek and Old Walker also had a solemn expression, and the eyes of the half-elf girl were looking at the half-elf girl with a bit of dissatisfaction.

"Hello!"

Even Kudra yelled with embarrassment. Not to mention him, the mercenaries around him were the same. No matter what, the other party was the benefactor who rescued them. It was their own problem to have half of the beasts in their mercenary group. What does it have to do with us? Why do you mention this?

"Danger?"

Rhode didn't say anything, but Marlene sneered. She had already been unable to see the vulgar and vulgar mercenaries, and now she was even more angry after hearing the half-elf girl's words.

"If Annie hadn't helped, it's a problem whether you could get here safely. Not only did you not be grateful, you actually bite it back? It's so rude and lowly, it makes people nauseate."

"You... don't think you are a mage and I'm afraid of you."

Faced with Marlene's ridicule, the half-elf girl's face stagnated, but she quickly recovered.

"Besides, she didn't do anything. Along the way, wasn't she hiding at the back like a coward? What did she do? Humph, I see, these bastards are…..."

The half-elf girl didn't finish her words, because at this moment, Rhode's fist had already hit her in the face.

The girl who was not prepared at all was knocked to the ground, but before she could raise her head, she said something else. Rhode kicked the girl hard in the belly, which made the half-elf girl involuntarily cover her stomach, arch her body, and began to vomit on the ground. It was not until this time that Rhode took back her feet and clapped her hands expressionlessly. This made Kudra's face a little embarrassed.

"Rod first..."

"I feel unhappy because she insulted my subordinates, so I want to deal with her. Now that I have finished packing up, I feel happy and everyone is even, so you don't have to apologize to me, otherwise I will feel that I owe you again."

Rhode interrupted Kudra, and after saying this, he turned around and looked at his companions.

"The mission is over, it's time for us to leave this ghost place."
