Crowning the SSS Guide

Chapter 4 Mental Pollution
Li Shao lowered his head, staring at the furry golden hair of "Bai Yu" with a gloomy look.

How fresh, a beautiful guide, appeared alone in the notorious Dark Street, and came to Dark Forest in person.

Any word mentioned here is enough to make the military and the White Tower tremble with fear.

You know, when a guide travels, he must have at least two sentries accompanying him.

The exception is high-level guides, whose strength is no less than that of sentinels, or even more terrifying.

Unfortunately, high-level guides are more difficult to train than sentinels.

Li Shao recalled the information he had received not long ago. The war on the front line was lost, three S-level guides were killed, the commander of the Fifth Legion died, and the casualty rate of the Third Legion was over half, but the SS and the alien "Destroyer" were blocked from advancing.

The good news is that the commander of the third legion has broken through to the SS level and has become one of only three SS sentinels.

The battle loss report stated that some of the sentinels did not die on the battlefield, but mutated into alien species and turned to swing their swords at the guides and sentinels.

Former comrades-in-arms, today's enemies, will fight to the death.

He locked his fingers together, deftly suppressing the fire burning in his heart.

The sentry is a sharp knife, half facing the enemy and half facing himself. This is his fate.

His red eyes flashed, and the body under his palm was fragile and soft. If he handed over a "guide" to the military, he would not only receive a generous reward, but the military would also have the right to hold Bai Ta accountable for dereliction of duty.

Perhaps more benefits could be gained for the sentinels, and their loss rate might not have to be so high.

This is a huge gold mine and must be taken good care of.

The spiritual lion's golden and red fluffy tail wrapped around the guide's calves in circles.

He howled softly at the guide, as if to get her attention. Li Shao's eyes moved. Even when his spirit body was in its childhood, its howl had never been so "soft", like a cub.

Li Shao felt that his mental pollution might be getting worse and worse, and his spiritual body was beginning to mutate.

Fu Guang felt that in just a moment, her vision went dark before she was held hostage by the sentry behind her. Her pretty face became a little stiff.

She hadn't been treated like this for a long time, which reminded her of the time when she first joined the sect.

Coercion, abuse, and insults.

Being weak and pitiful is a sin.

Her blue eyes sank, covered with a layer of dark light, like the surface of the sea when a storm is approaching.

The Sentinel's mecha exoskeleton pressed against her arm, cold and heavy.

The mecha on the side of her face exuded a mechanical coldness, and she could smell the blood and murderous aura contained in this mecha.

The muscles all over her body trembled uncontrollably. Facing a strong enemy, her body trembled involuntarily, and her spirit was filled with a familiar yet unfamiliar excitement.

She hadn't encountered a strong enemy for a long time, because no one had ever shown any aggression in front of her.

With his palm gripping the weapon behind him, the egg in the mental image spun faster.

She took the initiative to touch her shoulder with her other hand. The man's hand, covered with an exoskeleton mecha, felt sharp and cold.

Her hands were trembling, and her eyes were shining with a strange light where Li Shao couldn't see.

"Be careful, don't get scratched." The clear voice of the man named Li Shao sounded in her ears.

Li Shao lowered his eyes. His hands, clad in white silk thread, were slender, white and tender without a trace of calluses. It was obvious that they were hands that lived in luxury and never had to work hard.

The pink fingertips resting on the mechanical war weapons have a thrilling beauty, just like a fragile life praying that the scythe of the god of death will not fall.

The man's breath blew the hair that fell by her ear, and Fu Guang tilted her head uncomfortably.

Also dragged out of the state of being on the verge of violence.

Fu Guang knew her current state, having rescued her from danger countless times before. It was a state where, faced with extreme danger, one would drag the other person down with them. She took two deep breaths, suppressed her instincts, and tentatively pulled out of the man's arms.

Li Shao's long eyelashes moved slightly, but he didn't mean to stop her.

The clothes at the shoulders were wet with blood from Li Shao's right shoulder, and the air was filled with the scent of fresh blood and a strong smell of rust.

Fu Guang frowned and took two steps away from Shao Yuan. Although she was a pharmacist, she hated the smell of blood.

Blood brings only death.

She maintained a look of disgust and secretly glanced at the sentry, whose attitude had changed for some reason.

If she had been careless just now, her life would not be in her hands.

Her eyes twitched slightly. Was there something wrong with her answer? Or had he set a trap in the question?

The things in front of Fu Guang shook violently twice. The feeling of mental backlash was not pleasant. It was as if there was a compass in her head that shook with her movements.

Li Shao stood where he was, watching coldly, without helping the guide who looked unwell.

However, the flame in his hand did not stop, and he dealt with the many strange beasts that emerged from the depths of the forest after smelling the blood.

The strange beasts looked at the fresh flesh and blood with greed. They hid in the forest, and their bloodthirsty eyes lit up in the forest. They moved quickly in the forest and rushed towards the two people surrounded by them.

Li Shao easily stopped the strange beast, but when he noticed that the girl was distracted from time to time, his hands involuntarily sped up.

The ironclad command to protect the guide is etched in every corner of his genes.

Li Shao paused when he realized what he was doing.

At this moment, a strange beast about three meters long broke through Li Shaogang's defense line and rushed to the girl's side.

It was a strange beast that looked like a rabbit, with meat filaments still on its sharp teeth, and a foul smell blew towards Fu Guang.

It leaped high into the air and pounced on the frail and weak girl with bloodthirsty eyes, looking easy to bully.

When Fu Guang heard the sound of the wind, his eyes suddenly became fierce. He subconsciously bent down and pulled out a dagger from the pocket at his waist and slashed it horizontally.

The dagger caused some resistance as it cut through the flesh and blood, but it slid down smoothly in just a moment.

The steaming blood splashed down her head and all over her. The bright red blood slid down the silver mask to the ground, bending the grass that was as high as her calves and soaking the thick grass.

A few strands of blood slid down her white and slender neck. Li Shao's eyes moved with the blood, and the drop of blood gradually sank under her collar.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he looked at the silver-white mask again. Suddenly, a faint curiosity arose in his mind: what kind of face would have sapphire-like eyes embedded in it?
There was a big gash on the neck of the strange beast, and the surrounding flesh was scorched by the high temperature flames. The smell of burnt hair filled the air. Its fist-sized eyeballs stared at Fu Guang motionlessly. It kicked its legs twitchingly, but stopped moving after a few breaths.

Fu Guang wiped the blood covering his eyes, gripped the slippery dagger tightly, stepped forward and stabbed it a few more times, blood gushing out of its body.

There was no blood left on the dagger. It was sharper and the blade was cold after being watered.

Fu Guang took the opportunity to take a few steps back and get further away from the stunned Li Shao. The fire-type mental power emanating from the burning dagger in her hand also dissipated, and she held the dagger horizontally in front of her.

Kill her and save her at the same time?
What's the mindset of the Sentinels?

Fu Guang spat out the blood foam from his mouth, but found that a trace of mental power appeared in the empty mental picture.

The tall man who was standing straight and looking at her in shock suddenly fell to the ground with a thud. The grass was thick and there was a loud noise.

Fortunately, all the strange beasts around have been slaughtered, and there will be no new visitors in the short term.

But Fu Guang did not move forward. The lion howled weakly twice, stared at her with reluctance in its eyes, and slowly disappeared.

Seeing the flaming lion disappear, Fu Guang walked towards the fallen sentry.
