Chapter 46
This is an extremely empty area, located on the border of the outer ring of the capital star. Further out are some garbage disposal plants and abandoned land.
Yan Xuanjin and Ling Yun followed the guidance of their spiritual power and guiding elements and walked all the way to this area.
The moment their vision cleared, they witnessed a truly dramatic scene—dozens of Zerg corpses collapsed to the ground, blood of all colors mingling in a pool, flowing everywhere on the gray earth, a striking sight. And there was a sentinel, surrounded by a massive python, battling the few remaining Zerg. He was covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell whether it was his own blood or the blood of the Zerg he had killed.
He looked extremely exhausted, as if he was only holding on with his willpower. Even his counterattack was just an autonomous movement of his body, without any thinking from his brain, and his python had almost lost the ability to move.
Ling Yun keenly felt that the sentinel was about to collapse - his mental picture was rapidly collapsing and exhausting due to the excessive use of mental power.
He immediately rushed towards the Zerg encirclement, took out his pistol, and shot at the Zerg's brains.
Dark Blade's training proved effective; the strange-looking Zerg fell in droves. Ling Yun didn't need to intervene with the rest; Yan Xuanjin, following behind him, had already dealt with them. Ling Yun's immediate priority was to rescue the Sentinel.
He exuded a guiding element, closed his eyes, and led the snow cat to break through the sentry's mental barrier.
At this time, he didn't care whether his guide essence would cause discomfort to the sentry, so Ling Yun didn't control the dosage, just trying to keep him from dying of dehydration, so the mental barrier was broken quickly.
He brought the snow cat into the sentinel's horrific mental image - a huge swamp with a whirlpool.
Snow Cat is not good at repairing images in this kind of environment, but now is not the time to be picky.
Ling Yun overcame his impatience and disgust at stepping into the swamp and dived into the sticky area.
There was no light coming in from here, so Ling Yun could only try his best to use the guide element to locate the fragments of the image scattered by the sentinel.
The space under the swamp was broken into pieces, with only the surface layer being relatively intact. The rest of the area was fragmented. Ling Yun overcame the sentinel's instinctive rejection and moved quickly along the edge of the picture, trying to find as many fragments as possible in the shortest time.
Having someone else's mind invade your mental image was incredibly painful. The Sentinel, already suffering from the pain of his image being shattered, now had to contend with Ling Yun's mental invasion and the burning guiding essence. He instinctively pushed Ling Yun away, attempting to resist her movement.
...I'm saving you!
After suffering a violent repulsion, Ling Yun managed to stabilize his body and moved with difficulty in the picture with many fragments.
If the guide element is separated to resist rejection, the process of fragment repair will only be slowed down.
Ling Yun placed all the fragments he brought back at the broken place, squatted down, and used the remaining guide element to try his best to repair the huge hole.
As if sensing what Ling Yun had done, the sentinels' rejection of him suddenly lessened.
"...Are you helping me?" A somewhat damp and hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the picture.
Ling Yun was stunned. The sudden appearance of 3D surround sound made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He realized that the Sentinel's dormant consciousness was awakening as he gradually repaired his mental picture.
It will be easy once you wake up.
"Yes, so can you stop using your mental power to repel me?" Ling Yun said, "I need more guides to help your image fragments repair faster."
"Are you a guide?" The sentry was obviously stunned and withdrew his mental power.
"Yeah." Ling Yun didn't want to say more and concentrated on repairing his mental picture.
After Ling Yun gave his answer, he clearly felt the sentry's helplessness and the sudden throbbing hidden in his mental picture.
"You, you are the guide..." The sentry's voice was much softer, and one could clearly hear a flattering tone in it.
Ling Yun did not answer, but just picked up the broken pieces aside and repaired them with the guide element.
"...Why did you save me?"
"...Your white hair looks great."
"Your spirit form is so cute, is it a kitten?"
"Why don't you answer me..."
Ling Yun ignored his voice and stood up after completely repairing his mental image. He replied, "Thank you for your compliment. Your mental image has been repaired." After that, he picked up the snow cat, whispered goodbye in an unknown direction, and withdrew from the sentry's mental image.
…
The moment Lingyun opened his eyes, he felt a gentle yet unyielding force coming from behind, pulling him into his arms.
Yan Xuanjin couldn't hear their conversation in reality, but as a sentinel himself, he could keenly perceive the entire process of the strange sentinel's mental power changing from rejection to flattery.
This gave him a sense of crisis.
"What's wrong?" Ling Yun was confused and looked up at him sideways.
Yan Xuanjin did not answer, but just stared at the python sentinel who slowly opened his green eyes.
“…”
Neither of the two sentinels spoke, but their mental powers were clashing fiercely.
The moment the two mental powers came into contact, Yan Xuanjin raised his eyebrows in surprise - the sentinel's mental power could actually compete with his in a 40:60 ratio - of course, it was 60 for him and 40 for the other.
He looked serious and withdrew his mental power.
Ling Yun noticed their actions and was about to dissuade them, but Yan Xuanjin stopped his attack.
"Can you tell me your name?" The python sentry narrowed his eyes and looked at Ling Yun's face carefully, as if he wanted to remember what he looked like.
Ling Yun didn't notice Yan Xuanjin's momentary impatience at all - in fact, with his current position, he really couldn't see it.
He nodded and said, "My name is Lingyun."
Lingyun, Lingyun.
Lingyun...
The sentry pondered the name carefully, and the look he gave him suddenly became sharp.
"Let's go." Yan Xuanjin was furious and didn't have the patience to waste time with him, so he pulled Ling Yun and went to another place.
The python sentry didn't even catch up, but just stood there, looking at their backs with a mysterious expression.
