The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 79 Sunset Forest
Lin Nan summoned a vine from the ground, wrapped it around her body, and continued to grow upwards. Because the surrounding trees were too tall, she fell into the forest and had no way of telling the direction.

She used the simplest and most brutal method, letting the vines lift her up and jumping out of the tallest tree, so that she could see the entire terrain clearly.

Her series of actions were carefully recorded by the camera, especially when her small body emerged from the huge green leaves, which made some people so cute.

[Ah, this is kind of cute. A head suddenly popped out of a tree!]

[Like a little elf.]

This is such a cool move! As expected of a plant-based person, he has a natural affinity for forests.

[Miss, while climbing high is an option, be careful not to expose your whereabouts and become the first target of certain alien species.]

[This contaminated area isn't even Class C, so there aren't any mutated or deformed monsters. There's no need to be so cautious.]

……

The gentle breeze, like a soft hand, gently brushed across Lin Nan's hair, stirring her black hair to dance freely, interweaving with the surrounding greenery, outlining a lively picture.

Lin Nan stood high up on the vines, and wherever he looked, there was an endless expanse of green.

If it weren't for the sudden black fog above the forest, constantly reminding her that this was not a normal place, Lin Nan would probably have thought that she was in some leisurely and pleasant resort.

The black fog was shaped like a mushroom cloud, huge and strange, and it just floated in the air without any warning.

Its edges kept rolling and surging, as if they had life, twisting and changing shape in a ferocious manner.

Thanks to this strange black fog, Lin Nan was able to accurately lock onto the direction of the forest center in the first place.

No wonder Ellie told her that the king beast of this polluted area is most likely in the center of the forest. With such a strange thing in the sky, anyone with eyesight would think there is something wrong there.

[See? Doesn't it look a bit like the things in the Black Bear's mental image?]

Lin Nan asked the vines silently in his heart.

[Hmm... It's too far away, I can't feel it. ]

【Come closer, and you might find out.】

Ok.

Lin Nan put herself back on the ground and looked at the time again. The time in this contaminated area seemed to be synchronized with the normal world. They were dropped in around three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost time for the sun to set here.

The forest is very dangerous at night, and she must find her teammates as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, she packed up and walked towards the black fog.

[Huh? She actually moved on her own!]

[Isn't this guide going to wait for his teammates here? ]

[It's too dangerous. You might encounter mutants.]

Outside the screen, many people were worried for Lin Nan, because the guide had no attack skills and was physically weak. The best option was to drop him into the contaminated area and stay there until the team members came to find him.

Other guides have landed next door one after another, and they all do the same thing.

Some people were lucky and were dropped close to their teammates, so they met up as soon as they landed; some teams had flying sentinels, so they were found when they were landing in the air and were brought to the ground together.

In short, when a guide is left alone in the wild, there are many ways to save himself, but wandering around alone is the most undesirable.

After all, the official drop-off location is the safest by default. If you stay there, your teammates will follow the markings to find you. But if you run around blindly, you will not only encounter attacks from alien species, but you will also likely get lost.

[This guide is a bit unconventional. What should I do? I'm starting to get curious about her.] [+1, didn't the people in the Y2-3679 channel say she was ugly, low-class, and mean? Why don't I think she's that?]

[Yeah, those who said bad things before, please come out and speak out.]

Y2-3679: …

Lin Nan walked quietly in the jungle alone. Because she was a plant-type spirit, she didn't think it was that scary here. The vines in her brain were also looking around curiously. Some of them had already drilled out from under her feet and kept stretching and spreading in all directions.

This forest is very large, but the risk factor is not high. The information Lin Nan receives through these vines can clearly project his vision to a distance of ten meters.

For example, she saw a sentry and a guide meeting up to her southeast. The guide's clothes seemed to have been torn by something, and he was throwing a tantrum. Several sentries next to him were trying to coax him in a gentle manner.

For example, in the southwest, a man encountered a python of a different species. The python was very powerful and he had a hard time dealing with it. He was completely no match for it. In desperation, he could only hurriedly press the distress signal.

Not long after, officials came and took him away from the contaminated area with his weak hands and feet.

The competition had just begun when someone chose to withdraw.

Lin Nan heard the AI ​​making the announcement. The total number of 89 contestants suddenly became 88.

[Eh, this is so useless. The game has only just started.]

"Back in the day, our league was held in Area 10, the Blazing Mountains. Now it's a Class A polluted area, and we haven't seen elimination this quickly."

[This person must be a scoundrel who got in.]

[Which team?]

[Eh? A sparrow from the Irish team...]

【Oh, no wonder. 】

……

People in the competition area cannot see the barrage outside. If they could see it, Ireland would probably faint from anger.

She had just landed when she received the news that a member of her team was eliminated. She couldn't help but curse in her heart: Useless thing!

However, except for a few stronger sentinels in Urd, she did not mark the rest of the people, nor did she give them energy props to help them improve their mental strength. After all, they were just some people who got in by luck and would be eliminated sooner or later. There was no need for her to waste her mental power on them.

It was shameful for her to lose to Lin Nan's team in the preliminaries, and now that she has finally made it to the finals, she must avenge her previous defeat!
As she thought about it, she manipulated the newly added mark in the picture and urged dissatisfiedly, "Hurry up!"

This sentinel team is the weakest one she has ever marked. Those who deal with her are all S-level. She doesn't even look down on A-level, let alone these people. If it weren't for the pressure from public opinion and family, she really would have disdained to pay attention to these people.

Not long after, a black bear spirit appeared and ran towards her anxiously from a distance.

"How slow!" Ireland complained.

"I'm sorry, sir." Urd got off the black bear. The tall and sturdy sentinel carefully picked up his guide and placed him on the shoulders of his spiritual body.

He had just fought a great battle yesterday. Although his body had been soaked in the diagnostic apparatus overnight and his external injuries had been repaired, his mental strength seemed unusually exhausted. He had no money to go to the guide's office for treatment, and he didn't dare to ask Ireland for anything, so he could only hold on until now.

"I found Lijia and the others. They've already set up their tent. I'll take you there."

Urd lowered his head slightly, his voice filled with humility and flattery. Despite being treated roughly by the guide, the honest sentinel's eyes were still full of admiration.

That gaze was like the twinkling stars in the deep night sky, faint but steadfast, always following the person he admired in his heart...
