After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 701 I just want to see her again
After assigning the squad leaders to their posts, Baron turned and went back to his tent.

Inside the tent were only two people: Ivi and the unconscious head of the family, and Balu standing helplessly to the side.

Baron looked at the unfamiliar Ivy girl, who was crouching beside Canulius, bending down slightly to examine his injuries, her long, silky hair cascading over him.

Baron silently speculated about the relationship between this Ivy and Canulius. He had never seen any Ivy so close to their dragon race. Usually, apart from official spiritual guidance and purification, they would not say more than a few words.

And this Ivy will gently forgive them and show a sad expression for their pain.

Baron stared intently at the delicate profile of the girl from Ivy. Who was she? Was she a deity sent down to save them by their ancestors who had heard their prayers?

He rarely believed the ancient legends of the Long family. His parents told them to him and his brother as bedtime stories when they were young, and only Balu believed them to be true.

But now Baron can't help but believe that perhaps a god is watching over them.

"Don't worry, he won't die. He'll wake up in a few days."

Floch had one foot on the chair, sitting languidly, munching on a piece of dried fruit.

Yu Xia gently stroked Canulius's chest with her palm, the gentle and profound blue spiritual power of the ocean and the vibrant golden power flowing through his body.

From the moment she unbuttoned Canulius's shirt, Yu Xia's tightly furrowed brows never relaxed.

Canulius's entire chest, neck, and arms were almost entirely covered in unscathed skin; after the mutation faded, his skin was revealed, revealing a patchwork of new and old wounds.

Apart from the wounds caused by other species, most of them were from removing scales.

"What a madman." Floch paused in his act of chewing on the dried fruit when he saw the wounds on Canulius's body.

Yu Xia's nose tingled, and in a blink, a tear fell onto Canulius's chest. This tear, like a star-like gem, shone with a crystalline light and melted into Canulius's heart, healing his external wounds.

Mermaid tears can turn into pearls and are also a good medicine for healing wounds; this is a unique ability of sea creatures.

Long before the ocean and land became separated, and the sea creatures were constantly fighting amongst themselves, their emotions grew increasingly cold, and the sea creatures no longer shed tears for anyone.

Even if tears are shed, tears without emotion will not have any healing power.

In modern times, with the development of various healing drugs, mermaids' self-healing ability has become more powerful than that of tears, and this useless ability is no longer needed in either the ocean or on land.

But it's just right for Canulius at this moment.

Dragons' wounds are caused by their high body temperature, making many medications ineffective. Even inhibitors require higher concentrations than those used by ordinary Sentinels.

Canulius is currently unconscious and can only passively receive Yu Xia's mental energy. His mental landscape is being nurtured, but his external injuries can only heal slowly.

"Don't use this ability recklessly," Floch warned Yu Xia in her mind. "The Sea Clan's Healing Tears will deplete your own vital energy."

"It's nothing, I only use it occasionally," Yu Xia said, wiping her eyes.

This ability is not usually needed.

Sea people only know how to turn their tears into pearls, which they use as currency to trade with land people. In the past, many sea people made their fortunes through this method.

At one time, when a sea lord was still an ordinary sea creature, he was so poor that he cried every day. He managed to build a treasure trove by selling pearls and seafood to land dwellers.

However, for a long time after that, pearls were not sold and prices plummeted. It wasn't until several decades later that pearls regained their market.

This ocean lord disrupted the market, which angered his sea people. In the end, he did not remain on the throne for long before being overthrown by his political enemies.

The reason that ocean lord was overthrown so quickly was not because his political enemies were too strong, but because he cried too much.

Even tears turning into pearls require spiritual strength.

This ocean lord, who was given the title of Pearl, was defeated by his political enemies because his mental energy was depleted and his abilities declined.

This story is an interesting anecdote that Yu Xia and Yin Ya told her when they were teaching her about sea creatures.

I also wanted to give her a word of advice: some abilities of the sea race cannot be used casually.

The little golden dragon, which was perched next to Canulius's head, tilted its head to look at Yu Xia, then flew to her shoulder and nuzzled her face.

Kraken, who was hiding next to Yu Xia, stood with his hands on his hips and looked at her seriously. Taking advantage of her inattention, he flicked his tentacle and sent the little golden dragon flying.

The little golden dragon sensed its presence and tried to breathe fire at it, but Yu Xia yanked it down from mid-air and pinched its mouth shut, saying, "Don't breathe fire randomly."

Sea people already face many limitations on land, and in this environment, they are particularly afraid of fire.

The flames inside the little golden dragon's belly went out, and a wisp of black smoke emerged from its ears and nostrils.

Yu Xia quickly released it.

Little Golden Dragon landed wobbly, coughed a few times, and cleared the smoke from its stomach.

Upon seeing this scene, Barubalon fell silent.

The fact that he could crush the patriarch's spiritual body with his bare hands shows that Ivy is no ordinary person.

"The family, the head of the family won't be here. Something has happened, don't be sad," Balu said, trying to comfort Yu Xia.

Yu Xia secretly pinched the Kraken, warning it not to fight the little golden dragon, then stood up and walked to Balu, saying, "Lower your head a little."

Balu obediently lowered his head.

Yu Xia cupped his face in her hands, cleansing him of the pollution. "You'll be alright too."

Balu's ears burned red, and he whispered, "Lord Ivy, do you... do you remember me?"

Yu Xia looked at him in surprise.

Balu: "That was that day, at the hotel."

Baron, who was standing nearby with his ears perked up, was speechless.

Yu Xia: "You know me?"

Balu blushed even more, lowering his head and not daring to look at her. "I remember you, your scent."

Yu Xia recalled that when she was hiding from Kanulius and his group at the hotel in the North Sixth District, she unexpectedly bumped into Balu. She never expected that he would remember that brief encounter to this day.

She thought Balu had remembered something.

However, if that's the case, Balu probably knows her identity as the Ocean Princess.

Yu Xia touched her face. She had been disguising herself. Balu recognized her not because of her face, but because of her scent.

"Then do you know who I am?" Yu Xia raised Balu's head and looked directly into his eyes.

"I'm sorry." Balu stared into her eyes for a moment, then immediately knelt down. "Lady Ivy, please, please forgive me. I had no intention of disrespecting you."

Upon seeing this, Baron immediately stepped forward, knelt before Yu Xia, and said respectfully, "Lord Ivy, please forgive Baru. He did not mean to offend you."

Flock leaned back in his chair, tilted his head to look at them, and said while chewing on dried fruit, "These two are quite sensible."

"Get up, all of you." Yu Xia reached out and grabbed one of each person. "You haven't done anything that I need to forgive."

Baron patted Baru on the back and stood up with him.

“Lord Ivy, I will prepare a more comfortable tent for you,” Baron said, pulling Balu outside.

“It seems we need to change our plans,” Yu Xia said to Floch as soon as the two brothers left.

The dragon sentinels led by Baron have lost contact with the Holy City. According to the information they just gave, the Serpent Tribe failed to defend any area, and their return teleportation point has also been cut off.

The loss of this teleportation point not only prevented some sentries from returning to the logistics area, but also caused some routes to be disconnected.

“We need to change our route.” Floch opened the map and pointed to several routes. “We can only go through from here.”

Yu Xia looked over and saw that the signs for those teleportation points were Federation and Lion.

“We need to bring a squad of dragon sentinels,” Floch said. “We need dragons.”

From the very beginning, dragons were part of Yu Xia and Floch's plan. Dragon flames were one of the best ways to suppress alien species, and they would also be needed to destroy the Blood Nest.

Yu Xia plans to track down the Crimson God's aura before going to find Canulius.

But unexpectedly, Kanulius was so badly injured that even the other dragon-type sentinels were in dire straits.

If she and Flock hadn't arrived in time, Baron and the others would have all turned into dragons within a day, swallowed by the pollution, and become the most terrible pollutant.

The flames spewed by the contaminated dragons can not only burn, but also carry extremely high concentrations of contaminated spores and toxic mist. One dragon is a headache, let alone tens of thousands of dragon sentinels.

“I’ll go pick a team,” Floch said. “Do you think you can wake up Canulius? He’s the head of the dragon family. With him around, we can better control those dragons. Without a leader, the two of us can’t keep an eye on them all the time.”

Moreover, Canulius's will is stronger than that of the other dragons. Floch valued Canulius's abilities, hoping that he could ultimately withstand the attack.

Yu Xia nodded. "I'll give it a try."

Baron stopped Baru from entering the tent.

"Brother, I'll give them some food."

"Give it to me." Baron took the food from Baru's hand and kicked him. "Go keep an eye on the others."

Balu hesitated and said, "Brother, I'll just go in and take a look, just one glance."

Baron glanced at the tent, grabbed him and pulled him aside, whispering, "You still say you're not a guide from the Holy City?!"

“I don’t know who she is,” Baru said.

“Now I know.” Baron: “She’s not a guide, she’s Ivi, and not just any Ivi, understand?”

Balu gave a disappointed "Oh," and said, "I didn't think much about it, I just wanted to see her one more time."

Baron sighed. Of all the people Baru liked, it had to be Ivi from the Holy City. If it were the guide, there might be a chance, but not Ivi.
Thinking of that person in the Holy City, Baron really didn't dare let Baru take that risk.

Since it was impossible, he advised Balu to stay away from Ivy to avoid making a rash decision.

This kid is so stubborn, nobody can stop him.

Baron sent Baru on patrol and brought food and water into the tent.

Yu Xia was trying to wake up Canulius when she heard Baron enter and opened her eyes.

Baron was taken aback when he saw her holding Canulius's head on her lap.

"Excuse me, Lord Ivy, have I disturbed you?"

"No." Yu Xia released Kanulius and stood up to stretch her sore hands and feet.

Baron placed the food and water on the table. "Sorry, this is all we have."

Yu Xia looked at the food and saw that it consisted of some dried meat and fruit, as well as nutritional drinks, energy bars, and a handful of candy.

“This is good enough,” Yu Xia said. “We brought food, so we don’t need anything for now.”

However, the water was already gone; when she rescued Canulius, she and Flock had given him all the water they had prepared.

She reached for the kettle, but before she could take it, Baron quickly unscrewed the cap, vigorously wiped the spout, and handed it to her.

Yu Xia: "Is this your water bottle?"

Baron: "Yes, Lord Ivy. I'm sorry, I'll find you a clean container."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Xia picked up the water bottle and started drinking.

Baron breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't mind.

Their water supply was running low; most of the dragon sentinels had finished their water, and only a few had a little left in their canteens. Baron could only give his water to Ivy first, and then ask the other sentinels for more once she had finished.

“Our people have already gone to clear the Serpent Tribe’s teleportation point. Don’t worry, we will definitely get you and the other Lord Ivy back to the logistics area,” Baron said.

“No need, we’ll be moving on soon.” Yu Xia sat down on the only chair in the tent, licked the water from the corner of her mouth, and handed the water bottle back to Baron.

Seeing that she only took two sips and then stopped, Baron said, "Lady Ivy, we have plenty of water, please drink without worry."

Yu Xia's gaze swept over Baron's chapped lips as she said to him, "Come here, Captain Baron."

Baron paused for a moment, then took two small steps forward.

Yu Xia: "Closer."

Baron had no choice but to grit his teeth and move forward a little more.

Yu Xia watched him move forward slowly and said, "Keep moving forward. Don't stop unless I tell you to."

Baron continued walking forward, keeping his head down and not daring to look at her.

Just as his leg was about to touch Yu Xia, Yu Xia pointed her finger at his abdomen, making him stop.

“Squat down, you’re too tall,” Yu Xia said.

Baron knelt down, and the girl's face and breath rushed towards him.

For a moment, Baron had an urge to run away.

Yu Xia brought the water bottle to his lips and lifted his chin with one hand, "Drink water."

Baron was stunned for a moment, and it wasn't until water dripped from his chin that he realized what was happening and opened his mouth to drink.

Yu Xia fed him about half a pot of water before stopping.

Baron choked, then immediately suppressed his cough. "Lord Ivy, this is...this is for you, your water. I...I can't."

Yu Xia looked at his stuttering, which resembled Baru's somewhat, and smiled gently, "Why can't you drink your water? Captain Baron, you've led the team very well, but you also need to take care of your health."

Baron felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

He tried his best to control his expression, but the little man in his mind was running around and shouting wildly.

His ancestors beheld, and he and this beautiful Ivy shared a water jug!
At that moment, Baron could still feel her breath lingering on his tongue.

"Yes, you're right!" Baron snapped back to reality when he met Ivy's gaze.

Yu Xia raised her hand to wipe his mouth, then hugged his head in his stunned gaze, running her fingers through his hair to the back of his head. "Relax, Captain Baron."
