After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 645 As expected, young children are easy to coax.
The sudden turn of events instantly put the sentries into combat mode.

After the gunshots, the fog in the area became so thick that visibility was reduced to a meter or less.

Panic-stricken roars and screams rang out in the fog, accompanied by bursts of gunfire.

Countless figures moved through the fog, making it impossible to distinguish friend from foe.

Yu Xia hadn't run far when she ran headfirst into a solid body.

The person wasn't knocked down by her; instead, she was thrown backward by the force and was about to fall off the spirit body when a long arm reached out and caught her around the waist with lightning speed.

Yu Xia looked up and met a pair of sharp, bright amber eyes.

Yu Xia had barely uttered the word "Huo" when she immediately realized what she was doing and stopped.

Huo Lin glanced down at her feet, which were covered in thick shoe covers, and then picked her up horizontally.

Yu Xia: "Just put me back into my spiritual body."

Huo Lin didn't let go, but turned and ran towards the convoy with her in his arms, saying, "I'll take you back to the car."

This little sentinel, the sea princess, was able to bump into him headfirst. Her five senses seemed to be much weaker than those of the other sentinels, and she couldn't see the way clearly in such thick fog.

He knew that the ability of sea creatures to go ashore would be weakened. She should have a high level among the sea creatures. The higher the level of a sea creature that goes ashore, the weaker its own strength will be.

Yu Xia didn't say anything more and let Huo Lin hold her with peace of mind.

Huo Lin leaped and darted through the pitch-black fog, nimbly dodging the jumbled buildings and panicked crowds.

His black panther spirit followed them alertly. A dark shadow pounced on them from the mist. Before Yu Xia could see the shadow's face clearly, the black panther growled and pounced, biting and tearing at the shadow, throwing it back into the mist.

"A heretic?"

Just as Yu Xia opened her mouth to ask a question, two tall, dark figures rushed out of the fog, their sharp blades slashing at them.

Huo Lin quickly dodged to the side. Black Panther pounced on one of them. Before the other person could pounce, Huo Lin switched to holding Yu Xia with one hand, and with his left hand, he drew a pistol from his waist and shot the shadowy figure in the head.

The bullets did not pierce the shadowy figures' heads; they only caused them to stagger backward.

Yu Xia looked over and saw that the attackers were sentries, dressed in black combat uniforms, not the standard uniforms of the Federation and the Empire.

Both sentries had their faces covered, and their spiritual energy was very faint.

They attacked using only the energy swords in their hands, without even releasing their spiritual entities.

Seeing that they were protected and bullets were useless against them, Huo Lin drew his long sword from his waist to defend himself.

To avoid hindering Huo Lin's performance, Yu Xia hugged his neck and wrapped her legs around his waist.

Huo Lin was taken aback by her familiar and natural movements.

Yu Xia: "Go, little leopard! Don't get distracted."

When Huo Lin heard the term "little leopard," a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips. He thought to himself, "She's so small herself, yet she calls me a little leopard."

"Watch out!" Yu Xia saw the sentry attacking again and quickly patted his back to warn him.

Huo Lin snapped out of his daze, held his knife in one hand, blocked the attack from the two sentries, kicked one of them away, and the black panther spirit bit the other.

Before the two could catch their breath, several more masked sentries emerged from the fog.

A masked sentry appeared from behind Huo Lin and lunged to slash at his back.

Before Yu Xia could utter a sound, the masked sentry was tackled to the ground by a giant Alaskan Malamute spirit.

"Trying to launch a sneak attack again? Take this kick!"

A sentry with short, black and white hair leaped out of the thick fog and kicked the masked sentry in the chest.

I couldn't kick it, and my leg went numb for a moment.

"They're pretty tough." After realizing he couldn't kick the masked sentinel, Aug knew that these sentinels were equipped with defensive gear, so he had his spirit bite the sentinel and throw it away.

"Little sentry, are you alright?" After clearing out all the sentries around them, Aug grinned at Yu Xia, showing off his white teeth. "I'm fine."

As soon as Yu Xia opened her mouth, Huo Lin picked her up and jumped to a higher place.

Aug muttered something and followed the two.

"Where did these sentries come from? Are they heretics too?"

Aug jumped onto a steel beam, looked at the two people beside him, and kept staring at the little sentry that Huo Lin was holding.

Yu Xia looked down at the several dark figures that were faintly visible below, and a sense of worry arose in her heart.

These sentinels are either heretics or Harrison's men; whichever they are, their goal is to prevent them from entering the contaminated area.

The only thing that reassured her was that at least it wasn't aimed at her, which meant that her identity hadn't been discovered yet, or that they didn't dare to touch her.

"Little Sentinel".

Yu Xia turned to look at Aug.

Aug: "Are you really a sea princess?"

Yu Xia rested her chin on Huo Lin's shoulder. "Is there a problem?"

Aug: "You seem a bit weak."

Yu Xia narrowed her eyes. "Say something nice."

Aug chuckled. "I didn't mean to mock you. You look quite young, and you'll definitely have room for advancement in the future."

Judging from the size and build of the sea people, the young sentry in front of him, if you don't look at his face, is at most a teenager.

He was usually sharp-tongued and rarely said anything nice to strangers, often offending people. But when facing this sea princess, he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh; instead, he wanted to tease her.

Yu Xia was somewhat satisfied after hearing what Aug said, otherwise she would have to settle accounts with him later.

Aug was expecting the little princess to throw a tantrum at him, since everyone knows that the sea creatures have even worse tempers than the dragon sentinels. But he didn't expect that he could make the little princess happy with just one sentence.

Young people are indeed easier to coax.

Aug wanted to talk to her, but Huo Lin jumped onto another isolated broken pillar while holding her.

"."

"Aren't we supposed to go back to the convoy?" Yu Xia looked up at Huo Lin.

Huo Lin smelled the blood in the air, pulled the shawl over her head to shield her from the rain, and said, "Wait a little longer."

The fog was too thick, and he hadn't yet figured out the purpose of those masked sentries. With another person in his arms to protect, he decided to wait and see for the time being.

Yu Xia looked at the situation below and also felt that waiting for support was better than running around and causing trouble.

The main forces of each faction are all here. If we can't even handle an unexpected situation, we shouldn't go into the contaminated zone.

She wanted Huo Lin to put her down, but being held in his arms like this made her feel a long-lost warmth and peace of mind, so she didn't mention it and subconsciously hugged his neck tighter and rubbed against him.

Huo Lin's body stiffened slightly.

He glanced at the sea princess, his Adam's apple bobbing, but said nothing more.

The faint, sweet fragrance emanating from the little princess kept wafting into his nose. He kept his eyes fixed on her, and his breathing unconsciously slowed down.

The surrounding temperature was getting lower and lower. Although Yu Xia's combat suit was warm, her exposed skin could still feel the temperature.

She placed her cold hands on Huo Lin's neck.

Touching his warm skin, Yu Xia sighed softly in her heart:

Sure enough, the sentry's body temperature was high.

Huo Lin slowly turned his head to look at her.
