Chapter 133 You Are Not Her

Dark yellow long hair and blue-gray eyes were revealed in Shen Jiaxu's sight. There was still a butterfly mask on the girl's face.

The butterfly mask covered most of her face, revealing her delicate chin and lips with a hint of blood.

The strange and cold expression, the different hair and eye colors, the appearance of someone he had never seen before, Shen Jiaxu was stunned for a moment.

"Have you seen enough? Do you want to take off the mask too?"

Lilith said this expressionlessly, the whistling wind almost making her face stiffen.

Shen Jiaxu leaned back, creating some distance, and his amorous eyes suddenly became gentle and harmless.

"Ah, sorry...you're not her..."

Not bothering to pay attention to this insincere apology, Lilith grabbed her helmet, stuffed her hair into it, and then hid her face. As soon as she finished, the mental coordinates disappeared from her mind.

Her mental strength has reached its limit. She is temporarily unable to sense the presence of other people. She will return to normal after her mental strength is replenished.

"Where are we?"

It was clearly the way back, but Lilith didn't see any marks left by the exploration team. She poked back with her elbow, but got no response for a long time.

When he turned his head to look, Shen Jiaxu was still that gentle and irritating look, his pair of chestnut eyes staring fixedly at the void.

No way, it’s such a big blow?

"Hello~"

"Ah, it's the way back, but we accidentally ran a little past it."

Someone said this without any psychological burden, driving the white fox to turn its head and slow down.

A breathless voice called out from behind.

"R-Shen Jiaxu, you guys are running too far. Didn't you hear me yelling from behind?"

Jayne sat on his spiritual body, his rapidly flushed cheeks revealed through the thick fog.

The sentinel's five senses are so strong, even if Lilith can't hear it, Shen Jiaxu may not be able to hear it either. This guy did it on purpose.

The culprit shrugged his shoulders helplessly, looking like he was begging for mercy.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't hear you. Also, Senior Jayne, the captain said we can't shout in the thick fog, right? What if it causes any danger?"

"...We've already returned to the cube's coordinates, so there's no danger. Hey, don't tell the captain."

Jayne muttered a few words, frowned and threatened softly. He reached out to catch Lilith, but this time, Shen Jiaxu did not stop him.

The girl flipped off the white fox's back with ease, her fingertips lightly applying pressure to Jayne's hand before immediately letting go, leaving him belatedly grasping the remaining air.

The place hidden by the thick fog revealed the huge body of the cube after approaching. After a while, most people had returned. After another minute, Robbins finally arrived.

"Captain, you're finally back! As expected of a brown bear, you run really slowly."

Robbins had no time to pay attention to Jayne's teasing. His eyes quickly swept over everyone and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lilith.

But soon, he frowned again.

"Where's Lanky?"

Lanci has not returned yet. Logically, Robbins is the slowest and would be the last one to return, but Lanci has not returned to the safe spot.

The smiling sentinels also straightened their expressions. Lilith thought for a moment, then looked up at Robbins and said,

"Captain, replenish my mental strength. I'll see where Lanqi is after I recover my mental senses."

The tall sentry squatted down in front of her and let her hug him. Shen Jiaxu glanced at him and quickly looked away.

The powerful Sentinel's aura poured into Lilith, and her depleted mental strength was restored as if it had encountered a source of water. Lilith faintly felt the signs of a breakthrough, but it was gone in a flash.

After half a minute, Lilith gently patted Robbins' shoulder.

"Captain, it's done."

The sentinel's spiritual mark lit up again in Lilith's spiritual sea, one, two... eleven, eleven,

Without Lanqi's spirit body, it seemed as if it had suddenly disappeared.

"Maybe Lanqi ran in the wrong direction. The distance is too far and the mental coordinates will disappear."

Lilith frowned and said,

"We can go find him."

Although Lanqi sometimes doesn't know how to read people's expressions, Lilith doesn't dislike this simple sentinel. What's more, Lanqi showed kindness to her from the beginning.

Every sentinel in the exploration team is precious. No matter what, we cannot let Lanqi get lost in the thick fog. If it is contaminated, it will be even more terrible.

But Robbins just glanced at her, turned to Shen Jiaxu and said,

"You take R back, and the rest of you, come with me to find Lanqi. If he's still alive, bring him back. If he's dead..."

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and no one wanted to think that their teammates might have died.

Lilith knew that Robbins was thinking about her safety. After all, a crispy milk had no mental strength left and could not help much, so she could only nod.

"Then I'll give you another ability boost..."

"No."

Shen Jiaxu suddenly interrupted her and pointed his finger at the thick fog.

"He's back."

He spoke words that made people look forward to it, but his eyes seemed alert and subtle. Lilith suddenly felt a chill, not because of the person beside her, but because of the messy footsteps coming from the thick fog.

"team leader……"

"team leader……"

A quick and dry voice of a young man came along with the mist. Jayne's eyes suddenly lit up. He was about to go forward to greet his companion, but Lilith stopped him with her hand.

She stared at the direction where the sound came from, and goosebumps appeared on her skin.

"Don't go!"

"Why, that's Lanqi, not someone else..."

"Take a good look, is that still Lanqi?"

Lilith said coldly, and as she spoke, the figure in the thick fog finally revealed its true form. It was indeed Lanqi, who was stumbling forward.

But that didn't look like Lanqi either. Emerald green leaves grew on his body, and the place where his eye sockets were was covered by the protruding tree trunk. His moving legs merged together, as if hugging and winding a tree that was growing upwards.

"team leader……"

With every word he spoke, dry leaves came out of Lanqi's mouth. At the same time, new buds sprouted on his face, growing wildly like a plant that absorbed flesh and blood.

Seeing such a scene, no one dared to say that the monster in front of them was their teammate.

"Lanqi..."

Jayne's voice was hoarse and dry, and he looked at his former partner in disbelief.

"Captain, Jayne, everyone, I'm back..."

Lanqi said this dully, his lips quietly stretched to the widest arc.
