The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 22 Edible but not tasty
He was being toyed with by the vines, his face filled with shame, anger, and humiliation. He had been an invincible warrior on the battlefield, but now he was like a dish that had been carefully prepared, stripped of its armor, and served on the table, powerless to fight back.

He shouldn't be like this.

The sentry thought so, his body was covered with scars, but he could not resist the temptation of those soothing breaths. Dense itching spread from the wounds, as if countless small insects were crawling in his flesh and blood. The pain mixed with this strange comfort made his head chaotic.

He was deeply trapped in this desperate quagmire of pain and joy, his body trembling slightly uncontrollably, and his soul seemed to be repeatedly pulled and rubbed in this contradictory torment.

He was in a state of despair, both painful and happy, and allowed his consciousness to sink.

The sentry resisted, but honestly opened up his whole self to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan discovered that this sentry was really well-behaved.

In the past, when her spirit body was so rampant, she was either attacked back by the owner of the body or warned of expulsion.

But the little black wolf before him was completely different. It simply sat there quietly, a hint of innocence in its dark eyes, its body slightly curled up, its fluffy tail draped obediently at its side. Even as Lin Nan's vines caressed and caressed it recklessly, its suckers greedily sucking and touching it, the little black wolf only shivered occasionally and let out a few soft, feeble whimpers.

Such a gentle look made Lin Nan's heart soften.

It would be nice if she could also guide the sentries like the other guides.

As she thought this, the vines that had been stroking the furry vines seemed to have received some message and let go of the cubs.

It was the vine with a missing corner on its head. It swam to the mud out of curiosity. When it just broke out of the ground, its mouthpiece accidentally ate these black things. It couldn't taste what they tasted like, but it felt thousands of magical and indescribable negative emotions.

Cuscuta feeds on emotions, no matter good or bad, it can be eaten into its stomach. However, good emotions are like a puppy, with a sweet taste, while bad emotions make people want to have sex.

Edible but not tasty.

If it were in the past, it would definitely pick it up, but now it has just woken up and is a little injured, so it is really hungry.

The branches of the spiritual body do not have much brains, they only obey their own instinctive consciousness, so the branch opened its mouth and began to suck the mud.

Once one branch sets the precedent, the other branches will follow the scent and swim over, opening their mouths to suck as well.

By the time Lin Nan realized what her spirit had done, the vines had already devoured all the mud around the wolf cub.

A strange feeling instantly filled Lin Nan's body. Her brain felt slightly swollen, and countless emotions were transmitted into her brain through the vines.

Lin Nan seemed to see one discontinuous picture after another, like a movie, replaying in her mind in a rapid-fire manner.

The barren wilderness was endless, the sky forever blood-red. From time to time, countless crows with human heads flew by, and countless arthropod monsters wandered aimlessly on the ground...

A team of human sentinels roams these dangerous areas all year round. Their mission is to collect an earth-type energy stone. As long as they bring them back to the White Tower, they will receive a high reward.

Although they came from different regions and possessed different spiritual bodies, they had gradually become as close as brothers through years of cooperation. Black Wolf Xiu was the captain of this team, and his A+ level spiritual power gave him absolute leadership and prestige within the team.

One day, they received a mission: to protect a nobleman entering Contaminated Area No. 5. They were unsure of their specific mission, but they were required to escort him to the core of the area, closest to the "King." Contaminated Area No. 5 was a peaceful place, with no riots in over a decade. They had been there numerous times, always returning safely, and even became familiar with the characteristics of some of the monsters in the area.

Everyone thought that this was a very easy task. Some people even joked that after completing this task and receiving a large bonus, they would go to the central government to make an appointment with a senior guide.

But no one expected that a nightmare was about to begin...

All sorts of mixed images suddenly appeared in Lin Nan's mind, blood-curdling screams came one after another, and bloody scenes flashed before Lin Nan's eyes quickly.

Sweat poured down her forehead, and she felt herself on the verge of collapse from the horrific emotions. The negative emotions that surged like a tide felt like heavy shackles, tightly binding her heart. Every scream was like a sharp thorn, piercing her eardrums, straining her nerves to the limit.

【Stop now!】

She screamed, her brain unable to bear the emotions. She forced back the greedy vines and severed her mental connection with the sentinel.

When her consciousness returned to reality, Lin Nan felt dizzy for a moment. She couldn't support her body and fell softly backwards.

She knew nothing after that, except that she fell into a strong embrace.

A crowd surged in from all directions, their faces blurry and indistinct. Their noisy shouts and inquiries seemed distant and unreal, as if separated by a thick layer of glass. Then, darkness enveloped her completely like a boundless net...

When Lin Nan woke up again, she found herself lying on a large white bed.

"Thank God, Nan Nan, you finally woke up."

Beside her, she heard Ellie's surprised voice. Lin Nan turned around and saw a round-faced girl and a little sea otter lying beside her bed, looking at her with worried expressions.

Did she faint?

Lin Nan struggled to sit up from the bed. Various testing patches were stuck to her head, with long data lines attached to the ends. She pushed the lines aside and said to Ellie, "Ellie, are you feeling better?"

The round-faced girl puffed up her cheeks upon hearing this and said unhappily, "Really? I should be the one saying this. Nan Nan, you've been unconscious for two whole days. How could you be so reckless as to give deep-seated counseling to a sentry who's so much higher in rank than you?"

Deep counseling?

Lin Nan couldn't remember it for a moment, but it seemed that there was such a thing.

She had unknowingly entered the mental image of a sentry.

She stroked a furry creature, and then her spirit body seemed to have inhaled some black pollutants and then fainted.

Lin Nan thought again of the scene in the Sentinel's mental picture. No one had ever told her that the pollutants in the Sentinel's mental picture were actually some negative emotions.

Still edible?!
