After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 647 Entering the North Second District

"How did you get hurt?" Metis wanted to check Yu Xia's foot, but Yu Xia pushed his hand away. "Don't touch it, it still hurts."

Metis frowned, a rare occurrence. He gently cupped her sprained ankle with his hand, which gave him a good idea of ​​how swollen it was.

Sea creatures are known for their rapid recovery from injuries. Even though Boti's ability to go ashore is suppressed, her recovery ability is still stronger than that of a typical Sentinel.

Moreover, she said she was injured before she set off, which means that her injury was more serious then than it is now.

"How exactly did Potti get injured?" Metis asked Bello with a grim face.

He already had a problem with the two royals around Potty, and now that he saw Potty was injured, he was even more hostile.

Bello paused for a moment and said, "It was my fault for not protecting His Highness properly, which caused him to fall."

He could have simply told the truth and let Metis cause trouble for Farrell, letting these two most formidable contenders for the throne fight to the death.

But this would drag His Highness into it, making him a tool in their competition.

In the past, he would have done it to increase his chances of winning, but now he cares more about His Highness's opinion.

He had already experienced the feeling of His Highness distancing himself from him once, and that pained him more than losing the throne.

For some mistakes, having the opportunity to correct them is a blessing from heaven.

Metis said, "You can't even protect Potty, what use are you to stay by her side?"

"I twisted my ankle by accident. It was too dark in the room to see clearly," Yu Xia said, defending Bello as he covered for her.

“You always defend him.” Metis gently tapped her head with his index finger. “We sea people aren’t that fragile. You’re not a guide, you can’t just sprain your ankle like that.”

Yu Xia felt embarrassed and didn't dare to reply for a moment.

This topic can't be continued; every point can't be thought about in detail. Fortunately, Metis isn't as perceptive as Farrell, and Yu Xia managed to dodge the question with a few words.

The convoy started again.

This minor incident had little impact on the sentries who frequently operated in dangerous areas.

Yu Xia saw that the sentry corpses were thrown aside and burned, and she knew which side the sentries belonged to.

If they were heretics, these sentinels wouldn't have died, and they wouldn't have been so easy to deal with.

It's highly likely that he's one of Harrison's sentries.

Was Harrison testing the waters by choosing this location to make his move?
Yu Xia looked at the torrential rain outside, her heart sinking.

Twenty minutes later, the convoy arrived at the entrance to the contaminated area.

Yu Xia saw the massive city wall that separated the North Second District once again.

The gray city walls rise straight into the clouds, with no end in sight whether you look up, to the left, or to the right.

No matter how many times Yu Xia sees it, she is always awestruck by this city wall that seems to isolate her from another world.

Dark clouds hung low, and the rain poured down as if the sky had leaked.

Before long, the convoy entered the entrance tunnel.

This is not the tunnel that Yu Xia and Huo Lin left through last time.

Last time, the Gray Wall encountered an unexpected situation, filling up the tunnel. The Federation then spent a lot of effort to open a new tunnel.

The tunnel was fairly well lit, but looking at the walls, which were as gray and black as mud and surging like living creatures, everyone felt a little apprehensive.

The guides, especially those entering the contaminated area for the first time, were particularly nervous, their hearts pounding.

The tunnel was longer than before, and it took the convoy about ten minutes to get out.

Leaving the oppressive tunnel, the guides breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But upon entering the North Second District, an indescribable sense of oppression weighed on their hearts, and the strange smell permeating the air was impossible to ignore.

The smell was like rotten wood soaked in water mixed with a sweet, fishy odor, carrying the musty, dusty smell of a house that had been vacant for years. Many guides couldn't stand it and put on masks.

Normally, they mostly carry out missions at the entrance to the contaminated zone, and very few actually enter the contaminated zone, except for Ivi and the guide from the Holy City group.

Everyone in the Holy City remained expressionless, except for a few novices, who at most frowned slightly.

The convoy stopped at a federally prepared logistics base not far from the exit.

The logistics base is an abandoned residential area. The buildings are not the high-rise buildings outside, but individual villas with an old-fashioned style, almost a hundred years old.

North Second District is one of the earliest and oldest polluted areas. In the heart of the polluted area is the even older North First District. If you go deep into the polluted area, you can see buildings of various eras.

After everyone got off the vehicle, the sentries unloaded supplies, while some escorted the guide into the arranged villa.

Metis also carried Yu Xia out of the car.

The rain stopped as soon as they entered the polluted area, and the strange smell in the air gave Yu Xia a long-lost sense of familiarity.

Yu Xia and the Haizu group entered one of the villas.

They will rest here for about half a day, and then proceed to clean up their respective contaminated areas according to the previous plan.

Metis held Yu Xia in his arms, directing the sentries under his command to move supplies and organize the team, never letting go for a moment.

"Put me down." Yu Xia patted his strong arm.

"Are you thirsty or hungry?" Metis looked down at her. "Or do you need to use the restroom?"

Yu Xia summoned her spiritual body, saying, "It's not good for you to do things while you're holding me. I can walk by myself."

“What’s the harm in that?” Metis kissed her. “I have more energy to do things when I’m holding you.”

Yu Xia pushed away the orca's large head, saying, "I'm not feeling well."

“Alright.” Metis glanced at her pink little dolphin and released her orca spirit form.

Compared to his orca, Yu Xia's dolphin looks like a baby dolphin.

“Then ride mine, mine is big, so majestic.” Metis placed her on his spiritual body and chuckled as he rubbed her little dolphin.

It was Yu Xia's first time riding his orca, and she felt a sense of novelty and didn't refuse. So she rode the huge orca and surveyed the surroundings.

I went inside to check on their house. It had been cleaned to a minimum and was fully equipped with all the necessary supplies.

Compared to when she first met Huo Lin and his group, the conditions were much better now.

After seeing the sea creatures' dwellings, Yu Xia wandered around the area.

She needs to find Floch and Maggie.

All the factions in the Federation were located in one place. The Tiger and Snake tribes' villas were on the left and right sides of the Sea Clan, while the Lion and Bear tribes' villas were in front and behind.

This time, the Federation did not group the Holy City Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan together.

Yu Xia wandered around the logistics base for a long time. Everyone was busy with their own things, but Yu Xia was the only one riding the orca around.

After looking around at the residences of almost every faction, Yu Xia stopped at the entrance of the Holy City Villa.

Yu Xia's little dolphin had just poked its head inside when it was caught by Zong Yu, who was guarding the door.

"Your Highness, shall we come in?"

Yu Xia had no choice but to drift into the courtyard.

The Holy City sentinels were organizing some supplies and weapons in the courtyard; Ivi and the guides were not there.

"Whom does Your Highness wish to see?" Zong Yu asked.

"I just came to see..."

"Come in and have some tea," Margaret said, appearing at the doorway and looking at her.
