Sentry: The guide who's getting extra help is very busy today.

I will never cover it up again.

We always think we should only use it at the critical moment, but when is the critical moment?

This balance is too difficult to grasp.

It's impossible for everyone to get out, but it's still possible for one or two people to break through.

With the help of the other sentries, Shuzao and Xingyao broke through, and Xingyao immediately used his ability.

"Shuzao, it's within your range, about two kilometers to the left."

"Hmm, domain, substitution."

Shuzao's domain completely enveloped Lingxi's domain, and within Lingxi's domain, Shuzao's own domain could not be released.

This problem is too serious, and it still can't be solved. She doesn't want to repeat the same mistake. Zajir is dead, and she will never forget him for the rest of her life!

Instead of crushing Lingxi's domain, Shuzao went straight for the advanced pollutants.

When they saw Lingxi, her hands and feet were wrapped in something black, and her face was completely pale.

His pupils were only white, his pale yellow hair was a quarter white, and his body was so thin he was skin and bones.

Advanced pollutants aren't stupid enough to just linger in the Lingxi Realm; they're right next to Lingxi.

Before the advanced pollutants could detect Shuzao, Shuzao circled around behind it.

Using his mental power to strangle it, he became increasingly adept at controlling his mental power.

Without the control of the advanced pollutants, Lingxi regained her senses, and the restraints on her body were removed by Shuzao.

"Hold back your abilities."

"Okay, you are—the guide?" He looks more like a pollutant than a pollutant itself.

"Um."

happy Yu shrank, the surrounding pollutants were almost dealt with, and it was time to rush to the next event.

"Good morning, twenty seconds left."

"understood."

Shu Zao brought Lingxi back, and when she touched the circle, she turned off sensory sharing.

In an instant, Shuzao arrived at the place where Fuyuan was.

"What's so shocking? Didn't I tell you I'm busy?" Shu Zao casually wiped the 'blood' left on her face and put away the knife.

She did what she could in ten seconds, rushing toward the contaminants under the watchful eyes of the sentries.

Ten seconds later, she formed a beautiful parabola in the air.

happy Yu was followed closely by him and was sent flying, scattering leaves in mid-air.

Liuer cushioned Shuzao and Xiyu's fall with her body, and Shuzao leaned against Liuer.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"It's burned out, my ability has reached its time limit." The swapped ability can only fight back and forth with the 'shrimp soldiers and crab generals' here.

Heze pressed further, "When can it be used again?"

He didn't expect that once he went deeper into the heavily polluted area, the amount of pollutants inside was on a completely different scale compared to the surrounding area.

They were also disoriented and had no idea which way led back to the original path.

They had no choice but to stay put, but the pollutants attacking them continued to increase.

If it weren't for the sentries holding the line, they wouldn't have lasted this long.

Shu Zao wasn't as strong as Fu Yuan had claimed.

"Tomorrow." She wouldn't be foolish enough to tell the truth.

"I can't last until tomorrow." The sentry who spoke had sweat dripping from his chin, and his whole face was wet, as if he had been caught in the rain.

I am the last SSS-rank Sentinel whose ability is defensive.

The eight guides are still alive, with only minor injuries to some.

"Are only Fuyuan and Elisai among them the only ones with their own personal guides?" Shuzao asked sarcastically.

Elizabeth quickly explained the situation to Shuzao, and they communicated within their mental images.

"After we finished cleaning up the outer perimeter of the contaminated area, just as we were deciding to head back, Heze produced a document from the central city, ordering us to venture into the heavily contaminated zone."

"Haze is the sentry who asked you about the duration of your ability."

"I suspect you're the target above. They want to know your capabilities; we're just stepping stones."

Shu Zao wanted to rub her face, but couldn't muster the strength. "Why bother?"

"That's hard to say, but you'll be seeing them soon if nothing unexpected happens."

"Let's talk about getting out of here alive first."

Fu Yuan took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped Shu Zao's face.

During Shuzao and Elisa's conversation, the rather thin sentry spoke up, "Her arrival would only mean another death, just like you."

Coming here would be suicide.

"Yeah, coming here is just asking for death, so let's all wait to die together."

Shu Zao wasn't in a hurry to make a move; she didn't believe these sentries and guides didn't have some means of self-preservation.

"What happened to your eyes?" Shuzao's gaze lingered on Elisa's eyes on his forehead.

The entire pupil of that eye was red.

She discovered that her two personal sentinels were in a much worse state than most sentinels.

"They thought I was a big threat and targeted me. If it weren't for Fu Yuan's help, you would be collecting my corpse."

"Is she being coquettish? Or is she feeling wronged?"

Elizabeth: "..."

"Whatever Shu Zao thinks it is, is what it is."

Jiang Xun's gaze swept back and forth between the two sentries and the guide who were "casually chatting" and Heze, without saying a word.

The SSS-class defensive sentinel was killed half an hour later. Elizabeth, holding Shuzao, and Fuyuan, who was to take the lead, were preparing to resist the pollutants.

The director and others worked together to create a protective barrier.

Directors: "We can't hold on much longer either."

Before the protective circle disappeared, Heze and several other sentries standing next to him also vanished.

Shuzao glared at Elisai, her eyes seeming to say: Didn't you say it was a one-way trip? This is what you call a one-way trip?

"That's what he said; he lied to me." Elisabeth's expression was slightly bitter.

"Protect the guide," Jiang Xun stepped forward to give instructions.

This time, everyone held nothing back and used every trick in the book.

The effect is not bad, but it would be even better if it could distinguish the direction of the exit.

As time goes by, the resistance becomes less and less effective.

Shu knew early on that these sentries and guides were penniless.

Its foundation isn't that great either.

"Ugh." Fu Yuan suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body. He looked behind him and saw Shu Zao slowly standing up.

"Go to sleep, or you won't be able to take it." Shu Zao knocked Fu Yuan unconscious. "Elisay, protect Fu Yuan."

"Hmm." He knew that Shu Zao had activated her abilities and turned off sensory sharing, but he didn't know why Fu Yuan had such a strong reaction.

It was probably the first time we went on a mission together...

Shuzao turned her head to the left and said, "Oh, I see." Then she turned and left the group.

Seeing that she had broken away from the group, Yan Qing quickly called out, "Shu Zao."

She'd die even faster if she left the group, didn't she know that?

Shu Zao did not respond, and all the pollutants in his path exploded.

Soon, she disappeared from sight, surrounded by pollutants.

"What...is she going to do?" Qingchu turned to look at Elisai.

"Find a way to survive."

The direction Shu Zao had gone gradually became quiet, and Jiang Xun glanced at Elisai.

He's not dead, so she's not dead either.

"Click."

"Click."

"Click."

A series of loud explosions followed.

The jade plant "emerged" from beneath thousands of pollutants and instantly grew into a towering tree.

"You surprised me, but unfortunately, you're not her."

The voice was distant, and Shu Zao felt a chill run down her spine. She decisively ran towards the sentry's position.

At this moment, Qingchu's eyes were filled with resentment. Was she going to die?

"Bang!"

Shu Zao kicked him away, and the jade branches wrapped around his waist. He wasn't the only one; the jade branches wrapped around the waists of all the sentries and guides.

He led them and ran in the direction that Shu Zao had originally been looking to the left.

Once they cross the edge of the circle, they can't get out!

Otherwise, there would be no guides, sentries, or ordinary people in this world.

Central city.

Wearing a red shirt and a black jacket, Mingye stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window gazing into the distance, and said meaningfully, "The SSS-class of the past is incomparable to the SSS-class of today."

A long, long time ago, guides could also be commanders.
