The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 82 Black Forest
"Although this pollution area is Class C, it has one characteristic: daytime and nighttime are two completely different concepts."

Ronnie had stood behind her at some point, looking at the inky darkness outside with the same serious gaze, and spoke slowly.

At night, the world seemed to have lost all light, and creatures that only moved in the darkness began to stir. Darkness became their protective hue, concealing their ghostly figures. From time to time, strange roars could be heard from afar, echoing in the silent night, like a signal of danger, or a challenge from the creatures of darkness.

Lin Nan couldn't help but shudder and took a few steps back into the cave.

Fortunately, their location is relatively hidden, and as long as they don't run around, they will basically not be noticed by those things outside.

Lin Nan remembered that before setting off, the school had specially issued a manual on precautions for contaminated areas, the first rule of which was to avoid any action at night.

It is obvious that there is a huge difference between day and night in this area. Even the monsters inside seem to be of two different levels.

But some people just don't believe in it. In order to be the first to find the king beast, several teams are active in the forest at night without stopping.

Lin Nan seemed to hear the roars of leopards, the sounds particularly abrupt in the silent night, carrying a sense of savage arrogance and bloodthirsty ferocity. At the same time, she sensed that something seemed to be rapidly chasing them, and a sense of oppression, as if being hunted, arose spontaneously.

Lin Nan cautiously opened his spiritual body to its full extent. Ronnie, standing beside him, also stood in front of Lin Nan. Listening to the sound coming from far away, he said, "Something is coming!"

The sound of a leopard?
Lin Nan heard it, but those people were ten meters away, and she couldn't detect them clearly, but she could feel that they were coming towards her.

Ronnie cleverly put out the fire, simply covered the entrance to the cave, and took Lin Nan to hide in the deepest part.

Sure enough, not long after, a burst of hurried and heavy footsteps came from afar, and several huge cheetahs rushed to the entrance of the cave like black lightning.

A sentinel sat securely on the back of each cheetah. They were dressed in black combat uniforms, blending in with the darkness.

They probably didn't expect that the end of this road would be a dead end. As the huge monster chasing them got closer and closer, the cheetahs couldn't help but stamp their feet nervously.

"There's no other choice but to fight," said the leader.

"But what on earth is that thing!"

"I haven't seen this kind of monster in the daytime, why do I see it at night..."

Before one of the team members could finish his words, the monster behind them had already caught up. It was an extremely large black creature, and due to the pitch black surroundings, its full appearance was impossible to see.

But just from its huge mountain-like outline and the low, muffled sound that accompanies its movement, one can feel its enormous oppressive feeling.

Its footsteps were heavy and slow, and every step seemed to make the earth tremble. As it approached, a foul and pungent smell hit us, making us sick.

This breath carried the smell of death and decay, making everyone present feel uncomfortable.

Lin Nan recognized who these people were from the breath received by the spiritual body that was extended out.

It was Renault's Cheetah team. They seemed to have run into something nasty and had been chased here by accident. "There's no way back. We have to fight! Brothers, get ready!" Renault shouted, and the Cheetahs all took a coordinated attack stance, pouncing towards the unknown monster.

For a moment, outside the cave, the roars of wild beasts and the clashing of weapons intertwined together, as if to tear the dark night sky apart.

Lin Nan was hiding deep in the cave, hesitating whether to go out and help.

"Don't go out, Guide Lin, it's spiritually polluting." Ronnie held her tightly.

Lin Nan's heart trembled. In the polluted area, the creatures that would cause mental pollution were basically the most mutated species. Such creatures would definitely not be low-level in the polluted area. At the very least, if they were not king beasts, they would definitely be powerful monsters at the level of a small boss.

Having encountered them on the first night of the competition, Lin Nan didn't know whether to congratulate or sympathize with Renault's team.

She buried the vines at the cave entrance, keeping a constant eye on the outside. Cheetahs have a good sense of smell and can fight without light, while sentinels and spirits share the same five senses. While directing the spirit to attack the alien, Raynor drew his sword and charged forward.

As he approached the alien, he was struck by a strong stench, accompanied by a piercing sound wave that gave him a splitting headache. This sound wave fully aroused the uneasy emotions hidden deep in his brain. Normally, he could barely suppress them, but now, just by approaching the alien, he felt as if his head was about to burst, and countless chaotic thoughts rushed through his mind!
Is this spiritual pollution?

Renault broke out in a cold sweat. Although he had often heard his uncle talk about the pain of descending into the contaminated zone, he had never experienced it himself. Furthermore, due to his high level of mental strength, he usually stood out among his peers, so he somewhat underestimated the dangers of the contaminated zone.

Now, for the first time, he experienced this feeling: it was as if the delicate nerves in his head were being mercilessly twisted and tangled by a cold, hard steel bar. Every time the nerves twisted, there was a piercing pain, as if someone was wreaking havoc inside his skull.

The high level of spiritual power he had always been proud of had now become a death warrant. He painfully realized that the higher the spiritual level of a person, the greater the damage they would suffer when faced with this kind of spiritual pollution.

His mental barrier was gradually crumbling.

Renault noticed this and quickly stepped back, keeping a distance of more than three feet between himself and the alien.

The companions in the team also showed a similar state to Renault. They were all excellent high-level fighters. The higher the level, the more sensitive their nerves were. However, after just one attack, several of them could not bear it anymore and fell to the ground holding their heads, rolling around in pain!

"What should we do, boss?" the deputy captain said anxiously.

"You take care of the injured brothers, I'll lead it away!"

At that moment, Renault made such a decision. He saw his spirit body biting the alien's flesh and tearing it, completely attracting its attention. When the alien was about to attack it again, the gray-white snow leopard dodged swiftly and went behind it.

Renault approached the monster again and stabbed it twice more, which completely attracted the alien's hatred. He quickly jumped onto the spirit body and ran in the opposite direction with the alien.

It was temporarily safe outside the cave. The remaining sentries who still had the strength hurriedly pulled up their injured companions and gave them first aid, but there was no way to treat the mental pollution except the guide, and they were extremely anxious.

Just as the deputy captain was hesitating whether to press the alarm button for them, he saw a slender figure walking out of the cave.
