The words were carved with his fingernails before he committed suicide. He knew that he could not live to deliver the news, so he and his companions decided to send the news back to Sun Never Sets in another way.
Magical beasts, which had established spiritual links with humans, would be the best choice.
Before he died, he said farewell to his magical beast partner for the last time and gave the magical beast this final task.
Now, his magical beast would replace him, using his life to send back this message to Shen Yanxiao.
This was the only way to send the news back to Sun Never Sets.
The little magical beasts were unwilling to see the dead figures of their masters. They didn’t want to leave, but they had no choice. Even though they were not high-level magical beasts, they still had a certain amount of wisdom. They understood that the wooden card contained the message their masters wanted to send out, even if they died.
Without further hesitation, the three little magical beasts started to run like crazy in the direction of Sun Never Sets.
They were Flurry Rabbits, a type of rabbit that could run as fast as lightning.
They didn’t have any fighting strength, but they were very fast.
As the journey to Sun Never Sets was still quite long, they must run at full speed to send the news back quickly.
Running all the way, protected by their fur that was covered with blood and mud, they finally arrived outside Sun Never Sets before nightfall.
The soldiers on the city wall did not notice the three muddy figures, which were only the size of a palm when seen from above. Furthermore, the night was too dark. The little fellows who had been running for a long time had no more strength. Thev could onlv lie at the gates of the citv and look uD at the lights on the city wall.
The guards on Sun Never Sets wall suddenly smelled a faint scent of blood. During this time of war, this smell made them extremely sharp, and they immediately looked for the source of the smell.
The smell came from outside the city gate. The guards threw torches outside the city to find out what had happened, only to see a large area of blood with their eyes.
“Go and inform the Lord!” The guards were shocked by the sudden appearance of blood.
Shen Yanxiao immediately rushed outside after receiving the news. She did not feel any strong aura and had her people open the gates.
The moment when the gates was opened, Shen Yanxiao froze.
She saw a shivering furball sitting in a large pool of blood. Beside it, two other magical beasts, which looked very similar, had already died. TWhat’s more, the blood was still flowing from their wounds.
The only one who had survived was holding a bloody wooden card in its mouth.
“Is this… a Flurry Rabbit?” Several soldiers guarding the city recognized this magical beast at a glance. Only the members of the Silver Hands had this kind of magical beast that lacked offensive strength.
Shen Yanxiao was shocked. During this period of time, the members of the Silver Hands were responsible for probing for news of the war. Today, their magical beasts had returned, but they…
Shen Yanxiao quickly picked up the surviving Flurry Rabbit. She saw that the small wooden card was engraved with the distorted words, “Division of troops”.
Shen Yanxiao’s voice was hoarse. She looked at the Flurry Rabbit, whose breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and at the other two Flurry Rabbits lying in a pool of blood.
They ran day and night, constantly consuming their vitality. In the end, they exhausted themselves and were simply unable to knock on the gates in the darkness.
Therefore, they chose this way to attract the attention of the soldiers guarding the city.
“Bury them well.” Shen Yanxiao’s face was pale. After she finished speaking, she immediately rushed to the City Lord Mansion with the still-breathing Flurry Rabbit in her arms. No matter what, she would keep the last Flurry Rabbit alive..
