The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 125 Seafood Buffet
All the men present were bewitched by the fragrance.

Huo Sen hugged Lin Nan's arm, which trembled violently and his veins popped out.

The assistant beside him tugged at his collar uncomfortably, and he turned his back to avoid making a fool of himself.

Edward was the most seriously affected. His extremely sensitive tentacles seemed to have sensed something and quickly tried to withdraw from Lin Nan's brain.
But it was a little too late. The big tree that had been standing quietly suddenly moved, and the leaves rustled as if a breeze was blowing.

In that dark scene, the tentacles suddenly heard a whisper coming from afar.

[Hmm? A seafood buffet delivered to your door?]

The voice had a kind of laziness and casualness as if one had just woken up. Facing the deep-sea monster that everyone feared, it played it lightly, as if it were just a delicious delicacy that was readily available.

An ancient, enormous energy is awakening from the tree, and the pressure is coming like an overwhelming tidal wave.

Because of their species characteristics, deep-sea creatures often grow to larger spirits. He had always been the one looking down on others, but now, under this pressure, he felt like a mere speck of dust in the universe, so insignificant...

He felt a power that was more empty and eternal than the deep sea, as if it seeped out from the cracks in time, carrying the vicissitudes and oppression of history.

The tentacles trembled under this force. His spiritual body was more sensitive than anyone else's, and could naturally sense subtle changes that others could not.

This is definitely not an ordinary spiritual being, they were all deceived by its appearance!

Realizing this, Edward immediately wanted to cut off his mental power. The vast black sea around him disappeared, and the tentacles curled up, trying to withdraw from Lin Nan's brain.

But just as it moved, it was grabbed by an invisible force. The vines that were originally at a disadvantage suddenly came alive again. They wrapped around and pulled, pulling the lone tentacle towards the roots of the tree little by little.

[Since I'm here, let me try it. Braised? Or boiled?]

The voice rang out again, and then Edward felt a soreness coming from his spiritual body, as if countless tiny mouthparts were sucking on his tentacles. The man's body twitched uncontrollably, and pain appeared on his face.

About to be eaten...

This was the only thought left in Edward's mind. He looked up at the sky blankly, and the haze that fell around him became heavier and heavier, as if something was falling from the sky, about to crush him to the ground.

He has to leave!

Edward fled in a panic and tried to recall the tentacles, but the sucking force was too strong, and the tentacles seemed to be nailed to the spot, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free.

He watched helplessly as he was sucked into the abyss, and then—

With a "Pooh" sound, the tentacle was spit out again!

Edward: ...

[A bit old!] A childish voice sounded.

"Pretty little jellyfish are still delicious," another soft voice said.

There's a stink of bugs.

【Old and smelly.】

【…】

One voice after another rang in Edward's ears, noisy and noisy, like a group of children quarreling.

The pressure disappeared and he finally regained his composure.

His spirit body, as if it had seen a ghost, fled back to the master's mental picture at an unprecedented speed.

Lin Nan had already lost consciousness, and Huo Sen carried her back to the lounge. Edward wasn't much better, either. He was covered in cold sweat, his steps unsteady, and he sat on the sofa with the help of his assistant to rest.

"Mr. President, how is it?" asked the assistant.

"It's more powerful than I imagined." Edward took a few deep breaths and it took him a long time to calm down. He lifted up his wet blue hair, and his deep blue eyes, reflecting the incandescent light above his head, were shining with excitement.

"Qi, I seem to have seen the birth of a new generation of queen in the future..." he said.

The assistant was stunned and hurriedly stopped him from continuing.

But it was too late.

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

Huo Sen had already settled Lin Nan and came out of the lounge.

Obviously, he had heard what Edward had just said.

"And aren't you the Queen's husband? Why…"

Why is spiritual pollution so serious?

Since Edward became president, Huo Sen had not had any private contact with him for a long time. Seeing his pollution value today was really shocking.

"This is one of the reasons why I came to see you today," Edward said, "The Queen's spiritual power is beginning to dry up..."

Huo Sen was shocked: "When did it happen?"

"Actually, there have been signs for a long time, but they've become more obvious in recent years." Edward took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Even though she hid it very well, I'm connected to her mental power and can vaguely sense something."

"So in recent years, the Central Research Institute has been frequently entering and exiting the contaminated area to hunt high-level alien species. Is this the Queen's will?" Huo Sen frowned.

"It seems you've noticed it too." Edward pinched his brows, only revealing a hint of fatigue in absolute secrecy. "Yes, the Queen is no longer able to produce her own spiritual power. She requires a large supply of energy stones. Only energy stones produced by high-level king beasts can slow down her depletion. The central government has almost emptied its reserves for this."

"The researcher who caused the collapse of Area 5 is also one of yours, right?" A cold look flashed in Huo Sen's eyes.

"There's nothing we can do about it. You should know what it means if the Queen falls." Edward's eyes swept over Huo Sen lightly, with a hint of sarcasm and helplessness in his eyes.

In this world, the number of guides is dwindling, while the spiritual power of the sentinels is improving year by year. This imbalance is pushing the entire world to a dangerous brink.

"If the high-level sentinels in the Central White Tower go out of control, humanity will destroy itself without the need for pollutants to invade. So—I must find a solution."

Cultivating "King Jade" can alleviate the supply demand of energy stones to a great extent. As long as the embryo is well nurtured, one piece of "King Jade" can produce at least four to five high-level energy stones.

However, the conditions for obtaining "Wang Yu" are too harsh. The mother must be alive, and then the part where its spiritual power is most concentrated must be peeled off and placed in a culture dish for cultivation.

This process is not only cruel, but also full of uncertainty.

They had conducted numerous experiments, ranging from minor alien species to supreme beasts, and had generally concluded that the higher the level of the experimental subject, the higher the quality of the "king jade" produced. However, high-level alien species and supreme beasts were not only rare but also extremely dangerous. Every capture and experimentation came at a huge cost.

Hearing this, Huo Sen's face turned extremely ugly: "Do you know how risky this rash and radical approach is?"

"Of course I know!" Edward's voice suddenly rose. "But so what? The contaminated area will be reclaimed sooner or later, and those alien species will be killed sooner or later. We are just trying to obtain something valuable before they die."

"Have you thought about the innocent civilians and sentinels who died in battle?" Huo Sen suppressed his inner anger, his eyes cold. "They could have died more honorably instead of becoming victims of your experiments."

Edward was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with helplessness and heaviness. "Old friend, you are still so kind. But—survival of the fittest, the strong prey on the weak, this is the law of survival in this world."
