Yu Ran was not idle on the starship just now. He had been using his mind tentacles to sense the emotional fluctuations outside.
He could clearly feel that the monster's anger was getting stronger and stronger. When Lu Zexuan rescued one sentinel after another and cut off many of its limbs, the monster's rage reached its peak.
The strongest emotion comes from the two "hills" just observed.
That must be their leader.
This is a very strange kind of animal that lives in groups. The starship is so high in the sky that it is difficult to see their specific appearance, but Yu Ran always feels that this is similar to the red-eyed spider he saw in Triangulum Austral.
They are extremely intelligent, very patient, and will follow the orders of their leader. The obedience and discipline of the entire tribe are stricter than that of human armies.
When Yu Ran first used his mind tentacles to explore the ground, they did not react at all. Even Yu Ran was successfully fooled.
As a result, when Lu Zexuan led the team deep into the territory, all the monsters suddenly launched a fierce attack.
This strategy of "luring the enemy deep into our territory and catching them in a trap" is in no way inferior to that of humans.
Lu Zexuan was exhausted, but regardless of his own life and death, he rescued all the members of the Falcon Special Forces without missing a single one.
Such a captain is admirable.
At this moment, Yu Ran had only one thought - those who carry firewood for others should not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow!
Lu Zexuan saved so many people, but he himself was in trouble. He couldn't just watch Lu Zexuan sacrifice here!
So, he drove the airship forward without hesitation.
—Let the guide deal with highly intelligent creatures!
Yu Ran was driving the airship with a calm expression. He stepped hard on the accelerator with his right foot. At that moment, the speed of the airship increased to the extreme. Everyone saw the blue flame under the airship drawing a beautiful arc like a meteor in the air, and then disappeared in the distance.
In the eyes of the sentries, his actions were tantamount to suicide for love.
Tang Ce was flying over the "hill" at the time and saw an airship rushing into the beast herd. In the blink of an eye, it was engulfed by dense claws. Before he could react, he heard Moore's anxious shout in his earphones: "Ranran, come back!"
“… Is that so?” Tang Ce came back to his senses, “Fuck! Was that Yu Ran just now?!”
Yu Ran, the person the marshal had repeatedly told him to protect, actually rushed down directly
Tang Ce decisively turned the airship around and wanted to follow the rescue efforts. However, those claws suddenly connected together to form a dense defensive barrier. He was unable to break through it for a while, and it was difficult to launch heavy fire bombing.
Tang Ce was extremely anxious and shouted into the headset: "Yu Ran! What's going on? Come back soon!" Yu Ran frowned, turned off the wireless headset and threw it aside.
The densely packed claws were like a purple ocean, and no one knew what was happening underneath the claws.
At this time, Lu Zexuan's eyes were full of bloodshot, his hand holding the electromagnetic knife was shaking constantly, and the muscles in his arm were tense. The falcon returned to the spiritual world due to excessive fatigue, and his flying ability also disappeared.
The snow-capped mountains in the mental image were shaking violently, and seemed to be about to collapse. The sentinel felt that the surrounding scenery gradually became blurred, the whole world was spinning, and all he could see was the glaring blood.
The blood was spreading and was about to drown him...
Lu Zexuan clenched the electromagnetic knife in his hand and swung it mechanically left and right. All the claws close to him were cut off. However, the attack of those claws became more and more fierce. Lu Zexuan was not careful and the claws instantly scratched a bloody hole on his left shoulder.
A sharp pain came from his shoulder. The man roared and chopped the claw into pieces with one knife!
However, he knew that he could not hold on for much longer.
Perhaps this is the fate of the Sentinel
One day, the Sentinel will go berserk or even deformed due to excessive consumption of its abilities and become a monster.
He couldn't be a monster.
Once an S-level Sentinel is distorted, it will attack other humans crazily. After the distortion, it will regain the ability to fly. It may fly high into the sky and kill its comrades in the Falcon Special Forces... or even kill Yu Ran.
Yu Ran's face flashed through his mind.
Lu Zexuan suddenly found that he was particularly reluctant to part with this person.
They had just started to get along, and he hadn't had time to tell Yu Ran... Actually, I kind of like you, and I want you to be my personal guide... My White Eagle also likes being with your little fox...
Unfortunately it's too late.
These words may only be buried forever in the depths of the planet with his death.
Lu Zexuan closed his eyes. Rather than becoming a bloodthirsty monster and killing countless comrades, it would be better to kill himself before he went berserk. That way, he could die with more dignity.
His comrades may not be able to find his body, so let’s bury his military uniform in the Martyrs’ Cemetery, next to his brother’s grave.
Lu Zexuan used up his last bit of strength, tremblingly picked up the electromagnetic knife, and pointed it at his heart.
However, before he could swing the sharp blade in his hand, two red tentacles burning with flames suddenly fell from the sky and instantly entangled his body like vines.
Lu Zexuan opened his eyes in confusion.
I saw an airship with the Falcon logo breaking through the dense encirclement of sharp claws and rushing straight towards where he was!
The moment the airship arrived, a familiar face appeared in his sight.
The clear heterochromatic pupils no longer had a simple and innocent look - they were filled with courage and sharpness.
Yu Ran jumped off the airship, and the red fox following behind him suddenly enlarged countless times, with nine flaming tails shooting up into the sky!
Dense red tentacles of thought quickly stretched and spread from Yu Ran's palm.
Like a surging tide, they attacked the leader's brain in the center of the herd. Almost instantly, the terrifying tentacles of thought completely engulfed the monster's consciousness.
“Ahhhh—”
The beast howled in pain, as if the whole world was shaking.
Within five seconds, the surrounding claws seemed to be frozen and stopped attacking at the same time.
Yu Ran stepped on the blood and dirt on the ground and walked quickly to Lu Zexuan. The nine-tailed fox behind him used its nine huge tails to sweep in the opposite direction, propping up a protective barrier made of flames, firmly covering the master and Lu Zexuan.
The huge nine-tailed fox was burning with flames all over its body, and it looked majestic, like a god high above.
Lu Zexuan stared at the scene in a daze, thinking he was hallucinating.
This is... Yu Ran
Until Yu Ran's clear voice sounded in his ears: "General Lu, do you need me to protect you?"
Lu Zexuan: “…”
The sentry was exhausted and finally lost consciousness and fell straight to the ground.
Yu Ran immediately reached out to support the other person. He sat on the ground and let Lu Zexuan half lie in his arms.
Yu Ran looked at the unconscious man, and in his calm eyes, there was a trace of heartache that he himself did not even notice...
Lu Zexuan was seriously injured, with a big hole in his shoulder and blood flowing out.
Yu Ran used the military gauze he carried with him to quickly stop the bleeding, and ordered in the spiritual world: "Red Fox, pay attention to defense, White Fox, hurry up and treat it."
The two foxes responded in unison: "Yes, Master."
The unconscious sentinel's mental defense was not strong, and the S-level white fox quickly broke through Lu Zexuan's mental shield.
In the depths of the white snow-capped mountains, countless black fogs suddenly appeared, covering the sky above the snow-capped mountains like dark clouds.
The snow-capped mountain ahead was crumbling, and the white eagle had fainted due to exhaustion, lying on the hillside with its wings drooping.
Yu Ran made a prompt decision: "You go wake up the White Eagle, and I will dispel the black fog!"
When the little white fox heard the master's order, its body suddenly expanded several times. It nimbly ran to the top of the snow mountain, and its fluffy tail gently swept across the white eagle, trying to wake up the unconscious eagle.
The green thinking tentacles in Yu Ran's hands stretched out rapidly.
Countless tentacles, like a swarm of snakes, nimbly ran towards the depths of the snow-capped mountains. They pounced on the black fog one after another with precision, quickly dispersing the swirling shadows!
As dense healing tentacles spread among the snow-capped mountains, the amount of black fog became less and less, the dark clouds covering the snow-capped mountains gradually dissipated, and the sun shone on the top of the mountain again.
The snow-capped mountain, which was originally on the verge of collapse, also stabilized at this moment.
—Fortunately he arrived in time.
Lu Zexuan was still conscious and had not gone berserk. The snow mountain had not collapsed, so it was not difficult to save him.
Yu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his mind tentacles from the depths of the snowy mountain, and called softly in his mind: "Lu Zexuan? Are you awake?"
Lu Zexuan in the spiritual world slowly regained consciousness.
The man looked at the white fox that had been magnified several times in front of him, and the nine-tailed fox that was holding up the flame barrier, and fell into silence for a long time.
He... seems to be still dreaming
Yu Ran said calmly: "This is not a dream, I am here to save you."
Lu Zexuan's eyes were full of confusion: "... You... How come you have two spiritual bodies?"
Yu Ran said quickly: "Time is limited, I can't explain it to you in detail for the time being."
He looked at the sentry half lying in his arms with sincere eyes, and the voice in his spiritual world was unusually gentle: "Lu Zexuan, please believe me again. I have never had any ill will towards you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Ran suddenly took out the disposable blood collection needle that Moore had given him and stabbed it into his arm. Blood flowed out along the tube, emitting the familiar smell of guide element.
He collected a tube of blood, then pinched Lu Zexuan's chin and fed it directly to him.
Lu Zexuan: “…”
The fishy-sweet blood in his mouth was like sweet spring water to Lu Zexuan, who was exhausted at this time.
Their guide factor matching rate is as high as 98%.
Yu Ran's guiding element is a life-saving medicine for Lu Zexuan.
Lu Zexuan only felt that his energy was recovering rapidly, and the originally half-dead White Eagle finally became active again.
Realizing that he was lying in Yu Ran's arms, Lu Zexuan immediately stood up and looked back at him with a very complicated look.
Yu Ran's mind tentacles were still on Lu Zexuan's forehead. He looked at Lu Zexuan and said seriously in his spiritual world: "I'll explain it to you later. My mental hypnosis of this monster leader can only last for 5 minutes. We need to fight our way out and return to the starship before it wakes up. And... how I saved you must be kept secret from others. This is a matter of life and death for us."
There was a rare trust in his eyes.
Lu Zexuan looked into his eyes with mixed feelings, not knowing what to say for a moment.
It seems that there are two spiritual bodies.
He actually drove the airship single-handedly, rushed into the encirclement of monsters and saved himself!
His flaming nine-tailed fox used mental attacks to instantly control the terrifying leader of the beast group? !
His white fox is several times larger than usual and can quickly extinguish the black fog in the S-level Sentinel's mental image. This is definitely not a B-level healing ability!
One is a flame attack, the other is a forest treatment, both spirits are so powerful.
Yu Ran, who are you? !
Lu Zexuan's mind was full of doubts, and he couldn't even believe what he saw.
However, the sharp claws nearby were stirring, as if they were about to wake up again - now was not the time to discuss this, as the two of them could be torn to pieces by the awakened monster at any time.
Lu Zexuan took a deep breath and made a decisive decision: "Okay, let's leave first."
The next moment, the white eagle, having regained its energy, reappeared above its master's head, and the man's shoulders suddenly spread its white wings.
Lu Zexuan stretched out his arms, hugged Yu Ran in his arms, leaped into the sky like an arrow, and left the herd of beasts far behind.
Under the shocked gazes of all the sentinels...
Lu Zexuan took Yu Ran and flew back to the Falcon starship.
