Chapter 132 Sorry, I'm Really Curious
The pollutants disappeared and dissolved instantly before my eyes, seeping into the ground like water from the ground that was impossible to seep through.
The emerald green roots didn't seem to care about being discovered. After swaying around with their fangs and claws, they lightly tapped the ground.
Without time to think, Lilith's sixth sense screamed danger, her adrenaline surged, and her eardrums were filled with the sound of the turbulent air.
"run!"
Without any delay, Lilith didn't even make a suggestion, but used her mental power to force the order into the minds of every sentinel.
The brown bear reflexively carried the girl with him as he rumbled outwards. The power amplification fell equally on every sentinel, and even the brown bear's body became even larger.
Lilith stared at the ground. Countless green roots emerged from the spot where the body had just disappeared, like a spring. They spread rapidly like vines, chasing after the fleeing exploration team members.
Just one forced order gave Lilith a headache. If she hadn't made a temporary mark before, she would have been injured because of the spirit's instinctive resistance.
But it's not much better now. It's easy to increase the power of two people, but increasing the power of twelve people at the same time is not a simple addition of numbers.
Being able to do two things at once, dividing it into twelve parts is not something she can bear right now.
On the other side, Jayne couldn't help but look back while running.
"Holy crap, what the hell is this?"
"I've never encountered this before, Captain, what should I do?"
Robbins was silent for a moment, looking at the guide above the spirit body. The wind rushed through his breath, bringing a stinging feeling.
"Everyone, protect the guide and retreat!"
Shen Jiaxu flashed to Lilith's side, and the white fox jumped up lightly.
"Get down, it's running too slow!"
The brown bear had strong defense, but it became clumsy while escaping. The white fox, after being amplified, was already larger than Shen Jiaxu, so it could naturally allow Lilith to sit on it safely.
Then the guide landed lightly on the white fox's back like a butterfly. The magical beast living in the snowy mountains ran faster than the wind.
But the vines behind were not to be outdone. The ground was cracked like a plowed field, and the roots emerging from the cracks moved forward and tried to wrap around Lilith and the others.
If this continues, it's only a matter of time before we're caught up.
Lilith thought for a moment and shouted to the others,
"Split up and run, following the markings back to the cube."
"but……"
Lan Qi just refuted and heard Shen Jiaxu's somewhat impatient tone.
"Do you want us to be caught in one fell swoop? Running separately can weaken the enemy's attention. My spirit form is the fastest, so I'll take R with me."
"Do as he says!"
Robbins was the first to respond. He suddenly stopped and hammered the ground with his spirit body. The powerful attack made the earth tremble. The roots paused briefly, and he immediately went in the opposite direction of Lilith.
As expected, a part of the root system of pursuit was taken away.
The others did as they were told. The brilliant light dispersed, and Lilith's amplification was withdrawn due to the distance. Only the mark of her spirit body remained clear.
At least she could still sense the safety of the others. The soft fur beneath her body flowed in the wind. Lilith leaned down and made herself closer to the white fox during the high-speed movement, thus reducing the wind resistance.
Shen Jiaxu fell behind, threw a few old-fashioned grenades at the tree roots behind him, and then used the force to throw himself onto the back of the white fox.
The two bodies inevitably moved very close to each other. Lilith's back was stiff, but Shen Jiaxu seemed not to notice and spoke in her ear.
"Can you increase the speed further? I can't shake off the things behind me at this speed."
That gentle yet anxious voice seemed to be really considering her.
"I've heard that the degree of amplification is related to intimacy. Although it's offensive, since we've reached a dangerous point, I promise that no matter what secrets you have under your helmet, I won't tell anyone, so..."
The sound of the wind whistled past the girl's ears. Lilith put her hands on her helmet and looked back sideways.
In the moment of life and death, you shouldn't worry about whether you will be discovered. A kiss, an exchange of breaths, can enhance intimacy and leave danger far behind, right?
Shen Jiaxu's eyes were so frank and sincere that he even noticed the girl's gaze and added,
"If you care enough, I can close my eyes."
How considerate! If R was still unwilling to show his face and exchange a kiss with the sentry in this situation, then Shen Jiaxu should have guessed that R was guarding against him, no matter how dumb he was.
At this point, he still wanted to see her face?
Lilith sneered in her heart, but her face showed no expression.
"No need to go through so much trouble. A temporary mark, isn't that what we use for this moment?"
She leaned on the white fox's back and turned around, violently tearing open her collar, which had already become somewhat tattered. The wound below her collarbone had already healed, leaving only a shallow red mark.
Shen Jiaxu's head was forcibly turned away by her, and he was forced to reveal his delicate collarbone. His sight was also blocked by her soft fingertips.
Lilith stretched out her hand and lightly brushed across the wound. Just as the hairs started to stand on end, she lowered her head.
“Hmm…”
It hurt so much, the teeth piercing the skin, making it even more uncontrollable than when it was temporarily marked. The white fox under him trembled for a moment, and was almost caught up by the roots behind him. Shen Jiaxu was half happy and half disappointed.
It seems that R is indeed someone he knows, or the other party thinks he must know him, otherwise he would not hide his appearance so deeply.
But the spiritual body is a little different. Could it be the person in his memory?
Shen Jiaxu was momentarily distracted, and the white fox's speed became even faster. It accelerated suddenly, and soon left the pursuers behind it out of sight.
Lilith breathed a sigh of relief, and her warm breath fell on the wound, causing the sentry to tremble slightly.
The danger was temporarily out of her way. She had only been on a few missions, but each time she encountered pollutants she had never seen before. She didn't know if it was due to bad luck or if she was simply attracted to bad luck.
She raised her head from Shen Jiaxu's neck. Even with all her strength, her mental strength couldn't keep up. The most important thing was that the medicine in her body seemed to be losing its effect.
The chestnut-haired boy slowly covered his wound, and when he turned his head to look at her, he seemed a little helpless and indulgent.
However, the movements of his hands were completely different from what he showed. He took advantage of the guide's weakness, quickly tapped the edge of the helmet, and lifted it up with an irresistible gesture.
"Sorry, I'm just curious and really want to confirm whether I know..."
His voice died away as he removed the girl's helmet.
