The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 98 Taking Root
【So hungry...】

Lin Nan heard it make such a sound——

The voice was weak but carried an inexplicable urgency, as if it came from a creature that had been trapped for a long time and was starving.

Then, something incredible happened. The quagmire that had originally infected her spiritual soil began to roll violently, and bubbles kept emerging from the depths, as if something was stirring it underneath.

Not long after, a magical scene appeared. With the tender sprout as the center, the mud was stirred into a vortex and was absorbed at an extremely fast speed.

The originally thick and viscous quagmire gradually became thinner, gradually revealing the long-lost spiritual soil underneath.

Lin Nan finally saw clearly what was at the center of the vortex. It was actually the strange sapling in her mental image.

After swallowing the pollutants, the sapling is now growing at an astonishing rate. Its stem continues to thicken and lengthen, its tender green leaves quickly unfold, and new branches and leaves emerge from the trunk like mushrooms after rain.

What was originally a sapling half a person's height has now grown into a towering tree with lush branches and leaves that block out the sun.

The treetops are like a giant umbrella, covering the entire area. The light filtering through the branches and leaves is dappled and emits a faint fragrance.

The wind blew, and the leaves rustled. The negative energy in Lin Nan's mind was instantly blown away, and the whole person became extremely refreshed and comfortable. At this moment, those dying vines had also woken up.

They spiraled up along the tree trunk, and the twelve vines, like winding snakes, each found a suitable habitat.

On the tree trunk, a dark green light was floating. After flashing a few times, strange patterns were carved.

Although Lin Nan couldn't quite understand the strange phenomenon at this moment, her mental strength returned and became stronger than before!
In the past, she thought that her mental image was just a limited container, where her mental power was stored, and the less it was used, the less it would be. But now, she felt something was different. All her mental power seemed to be connected to the tree, and had grown strong roots that were deeply rooted in the soil.

She is no longer a wandering lonely bird——

Thinking of this, Lin Nan opened her eyes again, with a bright green light in them. She raised her hand and waved it, and dense spiritual threads emerged like waves. They flashed with a faint green light, as if they had life, weaving and interweaving in the air flexibly.

Each thread contained a powerful and pure force, like a tough sharp blade, easily cutting through the remaining black fog and invisible spiritual pollution around.

The silk threads quickly spread throughout the space, echoing Caesar's golden lion and Lan Yin's jellyfish.

The behemoth, which was originally troubled by mental pollution, had all negative buffs cleared away in an instant.

"This is..." Ronnie made an unbelievable sound, unable to move.

These mental threads not only cleared all the negative states of Caesar and Lan Yin, but also restricted its abilities. His mental shield encountered a more powerful and domineering opponent.

Ronnie tried to struggle, and seeing this, Lin Nan retracted his palm, and all the silk threads gathered into a green net, trapping him completely!

Seeing this, Caesar quickly recovered from his shock and took the opportunity to draw out a flaming blade. The blade was as agile as a fire snake, dancing wildly in his hand, emitting a scorching heat that burned and distorted the surrounding air.

He jumped high and pounced towards the alienated Ronnie.

At this moment, the alien species was busy dealing with Lin Nan's mental threads. Seeing someone rushing towards them desperately, it concentrated all its remaining mental strength and shot towards the other party.

Caesar faced the attack head-on and took on this wave of power. The black mental power was like a violent radiation, crashing into his body. In just a moment, Caesar seemed to have fallen into a trap full of sharp blades. Those blades cut his body mercilessly, leaving him riddled with holes.

Caesar's seven orifices were filled with blood, but despite this, the young man with red hair and golden eyes still rushed forward desperately. His whole body was stained with flames. He raised the blade in his hand high, and then chopped it down suddenly. With a roar of anger, the blade, with a thousand pounds of force, landed accurately on Ronnie's neck.

For a moment, sparks flew everywhere, as if to ignite the darkness. Ronnie's huge head with a human face and a rat body was chopped off by this sharp knife.

Blood gushed out from the alien's neck like a fountain, splashing all around and making a "sizzling" sound. However, the battle did not end there. Its fallen head actually flew up, turned around in the air, and quickly flew towards its body.

Lan Yin, who was not far away, raised the pulse gun in her hand again. "Bang!" With a crisp gunshot, the alien's head was instantly blown to pieces.

Broken pieces of flesh and brain matter splattered everywhere, accompanied by a strong shock wave, which dispersed the surrounding black fog a little more.

As Ronnie's head exploded, his huge body finally lost its support and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

it's over--

Lin Nan walked out of the jellyfish and slowly came to the side of the alien corpse, silent.

The air was filled with a thick stench of blood and decay, mixed with the lingering darkness, making it seem particularly oppressive. Ronnie's shattered head had now been reduced to tiny pieces of flesh, scattered on the ground.

What was strange was that the pieces of flesh were actually wriggling, as if they were struggling to fit together.

Like living insects, they twisted and tumbled on the ground, trying to reshape themselves into that horrible head. All his human features had disappeared, leaving only a single eye.

The eyeballs were still moving, opened unusually wide, filled with unwillingness and desire, staring straight at Lin Nan, as if wanting to carve her appearance into the depths of his soul.

But this unwillingness was eventually crushed by a pair of black military boots.

Caesar staggered to her side. The young man, whose whole body seemed to be soaked in a pool of blood, raised his foot and slammed it down heavily, his military boots precisely stepping on the eye that was still conscious.

With a "click" sound, something inside shattered completely, and the creepy sight disappeared instantly, along with a wisp of black smoke, turning into invisible.

"The King Beast needs to have the energy stone dug out of its body... before it can truly die. This eye is its true body..." Caesar bent down and pulled out a dull energy stone from the crushed eyeball, handing it to Lin Nan, "This... is for you."

After saying this, he completely lost consciousness and fell into Lin Nan's arms.

Lin Nan frantically stretched out her arms to catch him. A strong, pungent smell of blood filled her nostrils. She looked down and saw that Caesar's black combat uniform was being eroded by blood at a visible speed.

Because the clothes were black, it was not obvious at first glance, but when she reached out to touch it, her palm was instantly covered with warm and sticky blood. The touch made her heart tighten!
Caesar was injured and bleeding all over!

Realizing this, Lin Nan was so nervous that he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Lan Yin came over and injected him with a dose of medicine in time to stop him from bleeding.

"We can save our lives for now, we have to get out of here quickly," he said.

"But I don't know where this is. How are we going to get out..."

Before Lin Nan could finish his words, the entire space suddenly began to shake.

The ground beneath her feet disappeared, and she was caught off guard and fell downwards at an extremely fast speed.

The wind whistled past her ears, and the strong feeling of weightlessness made her heart seem to rise into her throat.

A blue tentacle slowly hooked around her body, stopping her fall. Only then could Lin Nan see the surrounding situation clearly.

It turned out that she had been trapped in the black fog above the center of the forest. This black fog was the real place where the king beast was hiding.

Lan Yin controlled her huge spiritual body, and her tentacles rolled up the unconscious humans one by one and brought them into her arms.

They floated above the forest, watching the black fog in front of them slowly dissipate, and the surrounding scenery gradually became clearer.

After the king beast of the polluted area is killed, the polluted area will return to its original appearance. The lush forest scene will disappear like bubbles, revealing its original broken and depressed true appearance.

"What a cunning fellow." Lan Yin said in a low voice as she looked at the scene before her. "He showed me off to everyone right from the start, and we were all fooled."

This alien species is good at mental manipulation. It has constructed a world of its own, in which it can make everything operate according to its imagination.

What a powerful ability this is! If I am not mistaken, the level of this alien should have reached S level.

Spiritual entities are relatively weak in the early stages, but the more they develop, the stronger their abilities will become, to the point of being abnormal.

Therefore, many people are afraid of this type of person because you don’t know when you will be deceived and manipulated by him.

Lin Nan still held the unconscious Caesar tightly with one hand. Seeing that although he had lost consciousness, his breathing was stable, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking that she was holding an energy stone in her other hand, she opened it and took a look. She was almost attracted by the stone that was pitch black in appearance but shone with a dark light.

"Don't look at it. The spiritual energy stone itself may be a kind of spiritual power. If your will is not firm, you can be easily controlled by it." Lan Yin reminded from the side.

Lin Nan quickly stuffed it back into his pocket.

"Do I need to turn this in?"

"It's up to you. Generally, whoever gets it owns it. You can also give it to Bai Ta in exchange for something you want." Lan Yin said. He instinctively moved closer to her, but then seemed to disturb something and stopped beside Lin Nan. "This one is spiritual, and it suits your ability very well. You can keep it for now and absorb it when the time is right."

He had seen from the preliminaries that Lin Nan's ability was probably more than just being a healing guide.

After this league ends, those who react will probably go crazy...

The league is finally over. In the next few chapters, let's eat some meat.
