Chapter 124 Sacrificing Life

He held Ji Zi in his arms.

In this way, if the mud on the ground wanted to entangle her, it would have to first submerge his body, which was like an extra base and had been forcibly added.

I have to say that this is indeed a good idea.

At least it can delay Shen Ruofei's arrival for a certain period of time.

Because the silt spreads at a constant rate, they cannot speed it up.

As time passed, the sentry's body was eaten away by the black mud up to his thighs.

Their lower bodies were tightly wrapped in black mud and forcibly fixed together, so intimate that the sentry's ears turned red.

[This person's spiritual power is indeed as strong as the rumors outside]

[Just holding her quietly like this feels like a deep and satisfying soothing experience]

[It's so comfortable that it makes you want to never let go and die in such a comfortable way]

As the mud adhered to him, the sentry's consciousness of struggling gradually weakened.

Ji Zi had no choice but to wake him up, "Simon, wake up."

Simon opened his half-closed eyes, and his light green pupils stared at her quietly.

"I forgot to ask you just now, what is your spiritual body?"

Even though he knew she was talking to him on purpose just to cheer him up.

Simon felt that his arms were losing strength little by little, and his body was leaning against the soft black mud as if it was weightless. Of course, they would not be so kind as to support him.

They even tried to embarrass him in front of the guide.

"My true form is a flamingo."

She had been to the zoo before and had a deep memory of the flamingos with their long, curved, snake-like necks and pink feathers.

Their legs were long and thin, with a faint black stain at the joints, just like the Sentinel Assassin holding her with his legs stuck in the mud.

His body and posture seemed extremely uncoordinated, but he held her firmly and prevented the black mud from crawling onto her.

Out of curiosity, she even looked up information.

Flamingos are not born pink, but because they eat algae and shrimps and crabs in the water, which contain large amounts of astaxanthin, their white feathers have been dyed pink over time.

The flamingo's call is rough, like a goose, which doesn't match its elegant appearance.

This also fits Simon very well.

On the way to patrol, he never even paid attention to himself.

Now that something has happened, he is the first one to stand up.

Because of Shen Ruofei's deliberate anger, many sentries in the land patrol team did not want to have too much contact with Ji Zi. They just wanted to complete their mission honestly and go back as soon as possible.

But judging from the current situation of the spreading silt, it may be a bit difficult.

"It's been half an hour since the message was sent back, and the captain still hasn't arrived..."

A sentry behind him whispered a question.

Ji Zi knew what they were going to say next after hearing only the first half of the sentence.

It's nothing more than Shen Ruofei not caring about her life or death.

"Simon's personal guard, we can't contact the captain, what should we do?" After a while, a sentry came forward to report.

Ji Zi only then realized that he was the personal guard that Shen Ruofei had specially assigned to the land patrol team, and also his most trusted subordinate.

Simon was waist-deep in the mire, his arms remaining raised, lifting her body high, refusing to drop an inch.

He said forcefully, "Keep in touch."

"yes."

Even though she was the commander of the entire land patrol, these sentries did not take her seriously at all.

Then why should we care about her life or death?

Isn't this a contradiction?

"It's not that they don't care about your life or death, but in the First Military District, everything is based on the captain's orders."

Ji Zi asked: "What about you?"

Simon replied hesitantly, "I think the captain wouldn't want anything to happen to you either."

Because her mental energy had been drained for a long time, her face had become a little pale.

Her lavender lips were slightly pursed.

There was no trace of panic or fear in his eyes from beginning to end.

"Hold on, I'm sure the captain will be here soon."

Ji Zi nodded in agreement, "Let's hold on together."

Simon nodded heavily, "Okay." There was a firmness in his eyes, as if he was completing a solemn contract with her.

A long half hour passed.

Shen Ruofei still didn't arrive with anyone.

All the guys in the aviation team have the ability to fly. Let alone half an hour, someone should arrive within ten minutes after the message is sent.

But no one has come yet.

The sentries were uneasy, their chaotic thoughts overflowing like unraveling a thread.

[Are we really going to give up on this guide? ]

[Damn it! As a sentinel, I can only watch the guide's life disappear. What's the difference between this and killing us?]

Soon, unusual movements were heard among the sentries.

"Don't stop me, I want to save her!"

"No matter how bad her reputation was before, she was still a guide! How could a sentinel watch a guide die and remain indifferent?"

"Calm down! This is the captain's order!"

Yes, before setting off, Shen Ruofei gave instructions to each sentry privately.

"I will accept any punishment! I can't be such a coward and watch her die in front of me!" A sentry ignored the obstruction and spread his dark red wings and flew out.

More and more sentinels spread their wings and soared into the sky.

Then, accompanied by clear chirping sounds, countless tiny lightning bolts and sparks fell into the mud.

The mud was smashed into cracks one after another. The bullets and superpowers carefully avoided her surroundings, but they also knocked down the black mud that wanted to continue clinging to her body with great precision.

The gaping crack reveals the lighter-colored part inside.

Like a soft tongue coating.

Soon he gnawed at the scroll again.

Before she knew it, Ji Zi's head was covered with a black cloud, with dozens of birds of different feather colors gathered. They were not big, and some were even very small, but all of them contributed all their strength to save her.

The gaps in the ground became more and more numerous, and the birds seemed tireless, shooting at the ground.

But the black mud stuck to Ji Zi's body was like glue, motionless.

Instead, Simon took out the silver saber hidden in his belt again.

The thin and slender blade gradually widened, and Simon, with a determined look, swung it down hard towards his abdomen.

"No!" Ji Zi exclaimed.

However, the next second, Simon, who had broken free from the mud, pulled her body out with blood all over it and threw her into the air.

The birds spread their wings and caught them.

Simon's upper body sank into the mud, as if falling into an abyss, and disappeared without even a splash of water.

"Simon!"

"Simon!"

The sentries on the ground shouted his name loudly, and the chirping sounds in the air continued for a long time.

After a long time, she landed steadily.

The legs were swept by the mud, and the combat uniform was corroded into a few pieces of cloth swaying in the wind, revealing the white and graceful legs.

Ji Zi walked forward quickly, condensed a light blue water light in his right hand, and jumped into the mud.

Simon, hold on, wait for me.
