Lu Zexuan looked around. There was a human arm next to a trash can not far away, and the rest of the body was missing; on the right corner of the street was the body of a child. The child died of fear, and his eyes were so wide open that they almost fell out of his sockets; nearby were several human corpses that were trampled into a puddle of mud by the beasts, with bloody internal organs scattered all over the ground.
There were body parts everywhere. Obviously, the humans here had just experienced a massacre by the star beasts.
Even though the sentries of the Falcon Special Forces were used to seeing all kinds of horrific scenes, they couldn't help but feel terrified when they saw this scene with their own eyes.
Several sentinels couldn't help but curse out loud: "Fuck, how many people did these star beasts eat?"
"If they step on you, your internal organs will be crushed into pieces!"
"Why do they suddenly attack humans?"
Lu Zexuan had never seen this kind of strange giant beast, and there was no information about them in the federal database.
But huge creatures are usually clumsy and not scary to the Sentinels that have evolved to top speed. Lu Zexuan picked up the wireless headset and calmly ordered, "Hummingbird, search the herd to see if they have a leader."
"I understand!" The female voice coming from the headset was crisp and clear.
Hummingbird is the code name of a 24-year-old female Sentinel. She is a scout of the Falcon Special Forces and has top vision and speed among humans. Her spiritual body is a flexible hummingbird, and she is also good at hiding herself.
After receiving the order, the female sentry in black combat uniform turned back and rushed into the herd. The sentry flew into the forest like a bird, nimbly and flexibly shuttling among the herd. The herd did not notice the petite human girl - she was too fast, like a gust of wind blowing under their feet.
The voice of the search and rescue team rang through the headset: "Captain, we found an underground shelter. Many students are hiding here!"
Lu Zexuan said: "Leave two people to protect them, and the others will continue the search and rescue. Team 1 should pay attention to intercepting the star beasts and don't let them rush over!"
The Falcon Special Forces were well-trained and had cooperated with each other many times before, so it was not difficult to deal with this "low IQ" star beast. However, there were too many star beasts, and killing them one by one was too slow. Moreover, there were still a large number of humans in the base waiting for them to rescue.
Lu Zexuan thought for a moment and simply summoned his "spiritual body".
The spirit body is like a companion pet, always accompanying the master. The spirit bodies of sentinels and guides can show the abilities and personality of their masters to a certain extent.
Lu Zexuan's spirit body was a huge white falcon, with wingspans of hundreds of meters, almost covering the sky and the sun. It stared at the ground quietly with a pair of light gray eyes, like a divine bird high above.
The moment it appeared, a pair of beautiful white wings suddenly spread out from Lu Zexuan's shoulders with a "swish". Then, the man leaped up and flew over the herd at lightning speed.
-Sharing of spiritual abilities, this is a power that only S-level Sentinels can evolve.
Lu Zexuan flew quickly over the herd and immediately spotted her comrade, the hummingbird, who was hiding below the herd. She was very fast and did not alarm the herd, but she was an A-class sentinel and had not evolved the ability to fly, so it was difficult for her to see the movements of the entire herd through surface reconnaissance.
Lu Zexuan observed intently. His sharp vision allowed him to see the beasts on the ground clearly. Hundreds of star beasts were running towards the human base. These beasts were huge in size and moved clumsily but in an orderly manner, as if they had received some instructions.
Suddenly, his eyes locked onto one of the star beasts that was obviously smaller than the others and had obviously more beautiful fur. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the star beast was closely protected by its own kind on both sides.
"Hummingbird, 11 o'clock, about 300 meters ahead."
The hummingbird in the herd immediately followed the captain's instructions and quickly approached the star beasts. Her clear voice soon came from the headset: "Captain, we found them!"
"action."
As soon as Lu Zexuan finished speaking, the female sentry on the ground took out the electromagnetic knife she carried with her and chopped off the front leg of the star beast leader neatly! Almost at the same time, Lu Zexuan swooped down from the sky. The sentry was as fast as lightning and landed steadily on the head of the leader.
The man stabbed the long knife in his hand fiercely, and with a "puff" sound, the sharp long knife instantly pierced into the head of the giant beast. Immediately afterwards, he twisted his wrist vigorously, swung the electromagnetic knife, and quickly crushed the monster's brain into pieces!
“Ouch—”
A shrill howl was heard from the herd, and all the star beasts suddenly stopped as if they were frozen in time.
Then, these star beasts that had lost their leader began to flee in all directions, and the rumbling sound of the beasts' stomping made the ground shake violently.
"Let them go, don't chase them." Lu Zexuan ordered in the headset.
"receive!"
After a while, the devastated human base quieted down, and the frantic footsteps of the beasts gradually faded away.
Lu Zexuan put away his sword and came to his comrades.
After a fierce battle, many sentinels had blood on their faces. Lu Zexuan looked at everyone and asked with concern, "Is anyone injured?"
"Captain, a few brothers were slightly injured, it's nothing serious!"
Lu Zexuan nodded: "Okay, all members will be divided into three teams to continue the search and rescue."
These star beasts actually retreated immediately after their leader was killed? It seemed that the crisis was successfully resolved, but Lu Zexuan always felt that things were not that simple - the strange star beasts that suddenly appeared were strange in every way. However, he had no time to study these things now.
Lu Zexuan turned and walked towards the human base.
Suddenly, he stopped in front of a cake shop—there seemed to be the scent of a guide here. Although it was very faint, the sharp sense of smell of an S-level sentinel still allowed Lu Zexuan to quickly capture that faint sense of guide.
The body of the guide will emit a special "guide element" with different smells, which can only be smelled by the evolvers. What Lu Zexuan smelled at this moment was a kind of clear and cold fragrance, like the smell of the first snow falling on the plum blossoms, refreshing.
Since the number of guides among the Evolvers is less than one-tenth of the number of Sentinels, the federal government attaches great importance to guides and has specially promulgated the "Guide Protection Act". Every guide will be registered and managed by the "Guide Association" of the capital star.
Except for guides like Moore who graduated from military academies and followed the troops to the battle, most of the other guides stayed in the capital planet, either responsible for the mental treatment of the sentinels, or went to various research institutes to do some precise scientific research tasks that required a lot of brainpower.
How could a strange guide appear on a desolate and harsh resource-rich planet like Norma B73
Lu Zexuan was puzzled and walked quickly into the cake shop.
The cake shop had been knocked down by the giant beast, and the house was in chaos.
The man glanced across the dim room and soon found a large hole in the corner that was created by a giant beast.
This was a basement filled with junk and it was pitch black inside. But for Lu Zexuan, seeing things at night was not much different from seeing things during the day. He soon discovered that there was a young man sitting in the corner of the basement.
The boy was thin and had a sickly pale skin. His right eye was black, but his left eye was red, a very rare heterochromia. The boy was breathing weakly, obviously injured, and a palm-sized white fur ball was dying at his feet.
—The spiritual body belonging to the guide.
Lu Zexuan looked carefully and saw that it was a fluffy little fox.
Such a weak spiritual body, it seems that the owner’s mental power is not high. Perhaps he is the weakest C-level guide
Lu Zexuan's white falcon noticed the presence of the little fox and seemed a little excited. It flapped its wings and shrunk its body, wanting to come down to play with the little fox, but Lu Zexuan coldly ordered in his mind: "Don't come over, so as not to scare him, his spirit body is too weak."
Snow Eagle: "...Oh."
Sentinels and guides are instinctively attracted to each other. When the spirit of the sentinel sees the spirit of the guide, it will also be eager to get closer. However, the gap between Lu Zexuan and the boy in front of him is too big, and this poor little fox may not be able to withstand the approach of the S-level spirit body Snow Eagle. Once the little fox is frightened, the owner's mental strength may also be damaged.
After hiding the Snow Eagle, Lu Zexuan tried his best to hide his sharp edge, walked up to the boy, and said in a gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, I am the sentinel of the rescue team, I will get you out."
After he said that, he stretched out his arms and carefully picked up the boy who was leaning against the wall.
It's... too light.
Lu Zexuan was holding a guide in his arms who was "as light as a feather" to him. His movements were a little clumsy for a moment, as he was afraid that if he was not careful, he would drop the dying guy to death.
The young man in his arms didn't move, but his eyes were exceptionally clear in the dark. He stared at Lu Zexuan for a moment, then lowered his head thoughtfully.
Lu Zexuan held the boy firmly in his arms and jumped out of the hole in the basement.
There was a sound of wings spreading. Lu Zexuan jumped up and flew high into the sky with the boy. The biting cold wind blew the rain onto the boy's face. The boy frowned slightly and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Lu Zexuan lowered his head. The boy looked a little uncomfortable. He hurriedly used his coat to block the rain for the boy and explained in a low voice: "According to the Federal Guide Protection Act, injured guides must be treated first. I will take you to the Falcon starship, where there are doctors and treatment cabins that will allow you to recover quickly."
The boy nodded and said softly, "Thank you."
He had a wound on his forehead and was bleeding.
At this moment, the blood just flowed into the red pupil, revealing a strange and weird feeling.
Lu Zexuan always felt that this boy was full of mystery, and the smell of the guide element on the boy seemed familiar, as if he had smelled it somewhere before. But now was not the time to ask about his origins, saving people was the most important thing. Thinking of this, Lu Zexuan sped up and flew directly to the Falcon starship hovering in the sky.
Inside the starship, Moore, the logistics team leader, had received the message from Captain Lu and was waiting at the door of the landing hatch in advance. Seeing Captain Lu hurriedly walking in with a boy with blood all over his face, Moore was stunned: "Captain Lu, this is..."
Lu Zexuan said: "We found an injured guide."
Guide? Moore hurriedly took the boy from Lu Zexuan's hands.
Looking at the boy's bloody face, Moore asked softly, "Hello, are you conscious? Can you hear me?"
The boy nodded: "Okay."
"I'm the guide doctor." Moore held his cold hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you for a checkup first."
Moore took the boy to the treatment room for a careful examination. The gravel had hit his forehead and the blood was flowing. It looked scary, but it was just superficial injuries. In addition, he had a lot of scratches on his body. Moore carefully helped him stop the bleeding and bandaged the wounds, and soon healed them.
Lu Zexuan waited at the door for a while, and then Moore came out with the boy. The boy had a piece of white gauze wrapped around his forehead, and his pale face looked very weak. The spirit fox lay sickly on his shoulder, with its head drooping, looking half dead.
Moore explained, "The injury is not serious, but he lost too much blood and was frightened, so his body is a little weak. I gave him a nutrient solution, and he just needs to rest for a night."
Lu Zexuan felt relieved. He looked at the boy and asked in a low voice: "What's your name? How old are you?"
The boy answered in a low voice: "My name is Yu Ran, and I am 18 years old."
"Didn't you register with the Guide Association? Why are you staying here alone?"
“I just awakened last month and haven’t had time to register yet…”
Lu Zexuan wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Moore: "Okay, okay, he is very weak now, don't rush to interrogate him like a criminal."
The boy seemed a little afraid of Lu Zexuan, and he lowered his head and hid behind Mor. Seeing this, Lu Zexuan said tactfully, "Okay. Mor, take him to rest first, and we'll talk tomorrow if there's anything else."
When Lu Zexuan turned around and left, he gave Moore a look: Keep an eye on this man.
Moore nodded in understanding.
We must not be careless about the strange guide who appears on the deserted planet.
Moore turned back to look at the boy, and met his innocent and pitiful eyes. The boy was like a frightened animal, with a nervous and fearful look on his face, and that fear was even clearly conveyed to Moore.
Yu Ran? A very unfamiliar name.
His mental power seems weak, and his spiritual body is also very weak. Is he really a C-level guide who has just awakened
A trace of doubt arose in Moore's heart.
Why not find an opportunity to test him
