Take a break! All the stars for the only guide

Chapter 113: Fire and Insect Play

Ling wrapped Lu Zhizhi in a blanket and stayed by her side until dawn, then he called her softly.

She is used to curling up in a ball when she sleeps. She is so small that it makes people feel pity for her.

"Are we leaving?" Lu Zhizhi rubbed her eyes, but found that Ling was looking towards the entrance of the cave with a serious expression.

Zero's ears moved and he said, "They're coming in."

He immediately put out the fire, picked up Lu Zhizhi and hid her behind a rock, "Don't come out, I'll go check. If I don't come back, you take it and contact Hector."

Lu Zhizhi saw the signaler he handed to her and said seriously: "I am a guide, not a human who needs to be protected. I can fight with you."

Zero was slightly startled.

He almost forgot that the guide in front of him was different from the guides he had met in school before.

In the White Tower, the guides had a very high status. They were strong and controlling, and some of them did not even consider the sentinels as human beings, but as consumables. But the girl in front of him was gentle and playful. She would take the initiative to purify him and would take protecting the sentinels as her responsibility.

Ling's mood at this moment was indescribably complicated. He really wanted to be a sentinel and stand beside her with full legitimacy.

He lowered his head to hide his expression and said, "Then I'll go out and scout first. Bugs usually don't attack alone, they always attack in groups, so if there's going to be a skirmish, there must be a lot of them. I'll try my best to use my powers to hold them back, and when you find the right time, use the rope to climb up."

He felt that this was the best arrangement.

But Lu Zhizhi still shook her head and disagreed, saying, "You go and scout the situation, and I'll help you from behind. If you want to protect me, then fight like a sentinel, and I'll be behind you."

Ling's eyes trembled, he pursed his lips, and finally walked out without saying anything.

He flew high into the sky, hiding between the slippery and dark rock walls, and saw the insects one after another letting out ropes and descending to the ground from the entrance, then diving and stretching out their arms while flying, and immediately thousands of ice cones shot towards them.

The insects that were hit were immediately frozen in place, but more and more of them continued to pour in, densely packed like ants leaving a nest.

The world of bugs is simple, they only know how to receive and transmit signals.

And every insect has its own mission, and they know it since birth.

For example, most insects know that they are guards and are used for sacrifice and offering; some insects know that their role is to lie on the ground and serve as carpets for female insects. They work diligently to make their shells soft so as not to prick the feet of female insects; however, there are also advanced insects who know from birth that they are servant insects, that is, they are born to serve the queen.

In short, the fate of insects is never in their own hands.

In some ways, insects are a more united race than humans, because they don't beat around the bush, and each insect won't think about how to benefit itself.

They are simple and rough, not afraid of sacrifice, and their numbers are huge, which is why they make humans annoyed and even afraid of them.

Just imagine, a powerful enemy is not scary, but a group of extremely tough and fearless enemies is simply a nightmare, because they will harass you, attack you, and anger you over and over again without getting tired, and you can't kill them all.

Lu Zhizhi gained a deep understanding of this characteristic while watching the battle between Zero and the bugs.

No matter how Zero attacked and killed bugs, those brave bugs did not feel any sadness about the death of their companions. Instead, they became more excited, thinking that their companions died gloriously and well, and that their lives as insects were complete.

Zero was soon unable to maintain stable flight due to the energy fluctuations of his supernatural powers. He was pulled down by the bugs, and some bugs climbed onto his back and gnawed at his wings.

Suddenly, a bug that was biting its wings was hit on the head by a small stone. It didn't cause much damage but was extremely insulting.

He turned his head angrily and saw a young girl standing not far away. She said to them, "What's the point of fighting with people of the same race? I am a human being. If you have the guts, come and kill me, a bunch of bugs!" The bugs could not tell the difference between the sentinel guides and ordinary humans. When they saw Lu Zhizhi as an ordinary human, their eyes turned red.

"Disgusting humans, you can't even tell the difference between species! We are not bedbugs, we are stick insects!"

The bugs were furious.

Zero yelled to Lu Zhizhi, "Go!"

But it was too late, the army of insects swarmed towards Lu Zhizhi.

Ling's eyes were red with anger, and he wanted to flap his injured wings to fly to her, but the next second, he saw Lu Zhizhi smile slyly.

She raised her hand, there was a small flame in her palm. She smiled brightly at the insects, and suddenly blew a breath on the small flame.

In an instant, the originally weak flame suddenly attacked the army of insects like a rushing fire dragon, burning their armor, and some insects' buttocks were on fire, running around screaming.

If the people in the Senate knew that this is how Lu Zhizhi used the power of sparks, they would probably have no objection to her ability.

In fact, from the time she awakened until now, Lu Zhizhi didn't know how to use the power of sparks, she could only light a fire. At this moment, she was like a child with bad taste, throwing a match into an ant nest, and then hiding aside to watch the farce of Fenghuo playing with insects.

The insects were very afraid of fire. Some of them jumped into the water, some were burned into charcoal ashes, and some rolled on the ground.

The whole cave was filled with the smell of burning, and even a bit of the aroma of fried insects (?)

Zero looked at the scene in front of him, and when he saw that she was fine, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he endured the pain and flew over, held her in his arms, and flew towards the entrance.

Lu Zhizhi took advantage of this opportunity to release her mental power, and Ling's wings healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The flying speed of the blue morpho butterfly is very fast among its kind, and Zero took her away from the chaotic battlefield in a short while.

Lu Zhizhi wanted to throw a few more fireballs down, but was stopped by Ling.

"They are just poor creatures following orders. If they can come out of their caves, let them go."

Lu Zhizhi rarely saw anyone more soft-hearted than her, so she asked, "But they bullied you and bit your wings, didn't you get angry?"

Zero said: "The White Tower taught me to never point a gun at one's own people. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to hurt them."

Lu Zhizhi felt emotional.

The Zerg did not accept him, but he treated the Zerg as his own.

The main planet expelled him, but deep down in his heart he still regarded the Sentinels and humans on the main planet as his own people.

Although he chose to stand on the human side when the Zerg and humans were in conflict, he still had good intentions towards his own kind.

Lu Zhizhi hugged Ling's neck a little tighter, trying to give him more warmth.

Even without words, Zero could faintly sense her state of mind because he had been purified by her.

He knew that he was being cherished as never before, and he felt extremely happy.
