After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 744 holds more secrets
Yu Xia completely isolated her consciousness from her body.

Her body was asleep, while her consciousness was resting within the mental landscape of Sevi and the others.

Although she was supposed to be recuperating, there was a sentry constantly nagging in her ear, so she was actually in a very clear-headed state.

“Our border outpost used to have a lake, and I liked to go swimming there when I had free time.”

"But not long after, the lake was polluted." Sevi sighed regretfully. "That lake was quite beautiful. Sometimes when the weather was nice, you could see the sun, and the golden sunlight would scatter on the lake's surface, just like your spiritual body."

Yu Xia lay on the beach with her eyes closed, her lower body, a fishtail, submerged in the water, while Xiwei kept talking to her in her ear.

At first, she could give him a perfunctory reply, but after listening for most of the day, she became numb to it. He didn't say he was tired, but she was tired of listening.

She really wanted to ask Alex if Sevi was this noisy when he was communicating with him consciously.

“When the pollution wasn’t too bad, I continued to swim there for a while,” Sevi said, playing with her hair that was scattered on the beach. “One day, I saw a mermaid appear in the lake.”

Yu Xia's brow twitched.

Sevi: "I was quite happy at the time, I didn't expect there to be mermaids here, could it be that sea creatures have come here?"

Yu Xia became interested upon hearing this.

Sevi: "I called out to the mermaid a few times, but she ignored me, so I swam towards her, intending to have a proper chat. But as soon as I got close, she..."

Yu Xia didn't hear his voice for a while, then opened her eyes and asked him, "What happened to her?"

Sevi pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "She slapped me and told me to get lost. It really hurt my feelings."

"."

Yu Xia flicked her fishtail, splashing water at him, and said, "Get away from me."

I spent so much time building up this just to tease her.

Sevi wiped the water off her face, looked down at her and smiled, "I'm not kidding you, it's true. But she didn't tell me to get lost, she told me to wake up and stop dreaming."

Yu Xia didn't believe him and swam into the water. "You need to wake up and stop bothering me. I need to concentrate and think about how to deal with Meteorite."

Sevier followed behind her, his long snake tail coiling around her, encircling her within the range of his tail.

“You need to find a few more guides.” Sevi put his hands behind his head and casually circled around her. “Obsidian City is now either under Kaiser’s or Harrison’s. You also need to send those guides back. Even if you can handle all the sentries, you can’t handle all the guides by yourself.”

Yu Xia said, "The guides must be sent away."

Seeing her determination, as if she had her own plan, Sevi thought for a moment and asked, "Is there something you want to do? What's your plan? Tell me about it."

"Should we save the people of the Holy City, or rally other factions to wipe out Harrison and his forces in one fell swoop?"

Yu Xia: "Yes, we have both."

Sevier: "Could you be more specific? We're allies now, aren't we?"

He hooked Yu Xia's fishtail with his snake tail and winked at her, saying, "If you want, our relationship can take it a step further."

"That won't be necessary. You just need to hold on a little longer, until I send Alex's consciousness back into his own body."

After saying that, Yu Xia dived down and nimbly swam out of his snake tail coils. The next moment, she appeared on the water surface a dozen meters away from Xiwei.

Sevi shouted at her, "Alex isn't here right now, he won't find out you and I are having an affair."

Yu Xia ignored him, turned around, and gave him her back.

The teasing smile on Xiwei's lips faded, and his eyes darkened slightly, revealing his concern for Yu Xia.

From the moment Yu Xia purified this mental landscape, his consciousness and that of the sentinels were linked to hers, only the switch to this link was in her hands.

Most of the time, her connection with them was closed.

It's normal that Yu Xia doesn't trust them, given what they did back then; it would be perfectly reasonable for her to simply shatter their entire spiritual landscape.

But he discovered that Alex didn't seem to know what she wanted to do either.

It seemed that her only goal was to confuse Cather and his group, then take control of the teleportation point from them, rescue the guides, or, as he had just said, unite with other factions to fight against Harrison and his group.

He didn't think that was Yu Xia's real purpose.

As Xiwei watched Yu Xia sink into the water and assume a dormant state, he suppressed his vigorous spiritual power, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

These past few days, she appeared listless and withered in front of Kather and the others, but in reality, her mental strength was growing stronger every day, almost overflowing.

Sevi looked up at her golden flower spirit body; she was storing spiritual energy.

As a sentinel, one cannot actively probe the spiritual landscape and spiritual power of a guide; one can only sense it.

However, his situation was special. His spiritual consciousness was bathed in her golden flower and directly nourished by her spiritual power, so he could clearly perceive that her spiritual power was becoming more and more abundant.

Moreover, this spiritual power, or rather the energy of the Golden Flower, is independent of her other spiritual entity.

Her other dolphin spirit is also growing in power, but she stores the overflowing power in the golden flower.

Sevi had a hunch that she was about to do something extraordinary.

He grew increasingly worried. At this moment, he was also unable to contact Alex. With the dark guide named Meteor watching over them, Alex had deliberately blocked them out. In addition, with Yu Xia's mental barrier, they were temporarily cut off from Alex.

Not just Alex, but all the other Sentinels in this mental landscape are the same.

Silently, Sevi submerged to the bottom of the water and saw the ball of blue and gold light. He then connected with the consciousness of all his subordinates that he could sense.

"She seems to be in better spirits today."

Yana said to Cather, who was standing next to her, "But we still need to take her out for a walk. We can't keep her locked up in the room all the time."

Catherine looked at Ivy, who was having breakfast in the courtyard, and asked, "Has it been tested?"

Yana's face tightened. "That thing is unacceptable."

Caesar placed his hand on Yana's shoulder, interrupting her before she could finish speaking, "We plan to test her after she finishes eating."

Yana turned and glared at Caesar, then slapped his hand away.

Xize glanced at her, his tone carrying a hint of warning, "I sent you with her to help me appease her, not to cause me trouble."

As he spoke, he walked over to Yu Xia's side.

"Why should we agree?" Yana whispered to Caesar.

Xize raised his chin at a figure standing somewhere and said, "If you don't want to do it, someone else will. What do you choose?"

Yana saw the indifferent and gloomy Dark Guide standing in a corner of the courtyard, loosened her clenched fist, and took out a small syringe from her pocket.

"Are you full?"

Kaiser watched as Yu Xia put down her spoon, then gently wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.

Yu Xia nodded. "Kaiser, can I go to work with you today? I won't bother you."

Catherine smiled and said, "Of course, I'm glad you offered to keep me company, however..."

He glanced at Yana and the others. “The place where I work is dangerous. As I told you before, there will be serious pollution outside this courtyard. If you want to go out, you will need to take some precautions.”

Yu Xia: "What kind of protection?" Yana walked over and squatted down in front of her. "Yi Xiaxia, I need to give you a protection test, is that alright?"

Yu Xia saw the syringe she took out and generously extended her hand.

Yana took her fair and slender wrist in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and under Cather's urging gaze, gently pricked her finger.

A drop of blood spilled from her fingertip, and Yana absorbed it into the syringe.

She shook the glass tube, about the size of her little finger, and watched as her drop of blood fused with the wisp of red foreign mycelium inside the tube. Her face paled.

Yu Xia looked curiously at the glass tube in her hand and asked, "What's that? The thing inside looks alive."

Catherine gently sucked on the pricked fingertip, saying, "It was just a tool to test your constitution."

Yu Xia's eyes twitched slightly when she saw Cather's actions.

"Can I take a look?" she asked Yana.

Yana handed her the glass tube.

Yu Xia held the glass tube up to her eyes and examined it closely. Inside, a tiny wisp of mycelium was swimming in the transparent liquid. Sensing her presence, it even clung to the glass tube, making a kind of intimate, affectionate gesture.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xia narrowed her eyes slightly.

“What a cute little thing,” she said.

Yana looked at her silently.

Catherine smiled when she heard her words and asked Yana, "How is it?"

Yana looked at the updated sample data on the testing instrument and said, "...It has reached 90% activity."

Catherine asked, "And what about affability?"

Yana took a deep breath. "Affinity 200%." ​​And it's still rising.

Xize looked at Yu Xia with a slightly serious expression; this was not good news for her.

Meteorite's gaze also turned towards Yu Xia, his eyes filled with a longing for her flesh and blood.

Yu Xia noticed his gaze and glanced at him.

Kaiser wasn't too surprised by the test results, but she was still somewhat taken aback.

The activity and affinity of this test are even higher than those of meteorites.

Cather looked at Yu Xia thoughtfully.

From the information he gleaned from Harrison and his group, he deduced that Yu Xia had some kind of special connection with the aliens. Later, after learning about her secret of Golden Ivy, he understood why the aliens were so eager to be with her.

But he still felt that there were more secrets about Yu Xia that he hadn't yet uncovered.

"Put this on."

Cather put a ruby ​​bracelet on Yu Xia's wrist, saying, "This can help you isolate yourself from pollution and protect your body."

Yu Xia held her wrist up in front of her; the ruby ​​on the bracelet pulsated slightly—it was alive.

Upon seeing the ruby, Yu Xia knew it was a containment object.

"Let's go, I'll take you to work."

Catherine took the glass tube from her hand, tossed it to Caesar, took her hand, and led her outside.

As Yana watched the two figures leave, she snatched the small glass tube from Caesar's hand.

A slight, yet piercing, clanging sound emanated from the glass tube.

Yana stared intently as the alien mycelium inside the glass tube was frantically colliding. The mycelium, which was not much larger than a hair before, had grown to the size of half a fingernail after consuming Yu Xia's drop of blood.

"Is it trying to get out from inside?" Yana asked, frowning as she looked at the clump of mycelium.

At this moment, the mycelium not only came back to life, but also seemed to have some kind of consciousness. Yana could see its eagerness; it seemed to really want to return to Yu Xia's side.

Xize took the glass tube back and injected another syringe into it.

Gradually, the frantic and restless mycelium calmed down and returned to its previous dormant state.

"This thing needs to be destroyed." Yana felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about how this alien mycelium had been activated by Yu Xia's blood and had such a strong affinity for her.

This thing is a variant, and its affinity isn't necessarily for Yu Xia as a person; it might simply like her blood.

Yana tried to snatch the glass tube, but Caesar raised his hand and said, "There are mutants everywhere outside. This is just a very ordinary sample. If you destroy it, there are many more and stronger ones waiting for her."

Yana shouted angrily, "Does Kaiser intend to feed her to the aliens?!"

"Shh," Xize glanced at the corridor where Yu Xia and the others had disappeared, placed his hand on Yana's shoulder, and whispered to comfort her: "Kather has wanted to do this for a long time. Since he can use Yu Xia to control the sentries at those border watchtowers, he can also use her to do other things."

Yana clenched her fist and slammed it on the table. "How could he treat Ivy like that?"

Xize said, "Don't forget, this is the most polluted area. Here, all desires are amplified."

Yana questioned, "And what about you? Are you like that too?"

Xize didn't want to say much, and there wasn't much he could say right now. He said, "While he doesn't dare to do anything reckless yet, you should cooperate with me as much as possible."

Yu Xia followed Cather into the Dragon's Breath Hall.

Instead of taking her into the main hall, Catherine led her to a platform on one side.

Yu Xia stood at the edge of the platform, taking in the entire Obsidian City.

From this vantage point, the view was far more expansive than what she had seen from outside Charles and the others' palace platform.

Even the holy city cannot compare to the magnificence of this city.

This city was built entirely for dragons; even the gray sky and hazy fog could not obscure its grandeur.

Catherine wrapped her arms around her waist, pressed her cheek against hers, and whispered in her ear, "Do you like it here?"

Yu Xia paused, then looked surprised. "Didn't you and Cather say this was a very dangerous place?"

Catherine laughed and said, "It is very dangerous, because this is the lair of dragons."

Yu Xia: "Dragon?"

Catherine carefully examined her expression. "Yes, it's the fire-breathing dragon from the book I showed you. Are you scared?"

Yu Xia's shoulders twitched slightly, and she took a small step back.

“Don’t be afraid.” Catherine held her shoulders. “This place no longer belongs to the dragons; it belongs to us now.”

Yu Xia asked, "Where are the dragons?"

Catherine pulled her hand and led her inside. "Of course, the dragon was destroyed by us."

A cold glint flashed in Yu Xia's eyes.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Cather smiled slightly and said to Yu Xia, "But we still have enemies."
