The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

"I'll go and take a look." Pei Junlin said, and disappeared from the hut. After a while, he reappeared in front of everyone, holding a man with a blood-red gourd-like back covered with snow.

"He's still breathing." He put the person on the floor and frowned slightly.

Just as he finished speaking, a skinny black buffalo staggered into the house, its eyes red and its sharp horns on top, as it rushed straight towards Pei Junlin.

There was a flash of golden light, and the shrunken Golden Hound rushed in. It leaped from the side and knocked the buffalo to the ground.

The golden beast bit the buffalo's throat and looked at Ai Wanxin, waiting for her order before biting off the buffalo's neck.

The buffalo let out a desperate howl and kicked its four hooves in vain, trying to get closer to its owner.

The man on the ground seemed to know that his spirit was in danger. He forced his eyes open with blood and flesh stuck together. As soon as he opened his mouth, blood poured into his trachea: "...Help...Help me..."

He, like his spirit body, looked in very bad condition. His huge frame was so thin that only skin was left. His cheeks were deeply sunken, his lips were purple from the cold, pus was oozing from his eye sockets, and his thin, tattered clothes were covered with festering flesh.

The entire palm of the man's left hand was gone, revealing the pale bone stump. His blood had frozen due to the low temperature. If not for this, he would have died from excessive blood loss.

"Was he bitten by a zombie?" He Yang asked with a frown.

This man is obviously a sentinel. Judging from the size of his spiritual body, his spiritual power level cannot be too low. Even if he cannot be channeled and cannot use his spiritual power, he should not be as miserable as he is now just relying on his enhanced physical fitness.

Pei Junlin looked at his broken palm and said, "No, the wound has no signs of infection or discoloration."

The four of them all looked at Ai Wanxin. Since this person was not infected by zombies, whether he could survive depended entirely on her decision.

Before Ai Wanxin could open her mouth, she heard a chaotic sound of footsteps on the snow coming from a distance.

"The hoof prints disappear here--" a sharp voice sounded.

"Hehe, his spiritual body is carrying a big man and can run quite fast. If we eat his brain, our abilities will definitely be greatly improved." said another hoarse voice.

"Don't think about eating yet. The first thing to do is to find the person, otherwise Mr. Kang will not forgive us."

"Mr. Kang is very happy because he caught a big fish that fell into his trap today. If I were you, I would go back early if you can't find it, otherwise we won't be able to share the big fish."

"Oh, let's look for him first. He hasn't eaten for a month, and his arm is broken. Where can he go?"

"There's a yard over there, go check it out!"

The conversation between the two fell into the ears of Ai Wanxin and others.

Ai Wanxin's eyes were cold, and she leaned over and placed her hand on the man's broken wrist bone.

A soft white light lit up, and the man's palms and fingers grew back on his wrist bones. The festering abscesses on his body and eyes healed. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ai Wanxin's face in a daze.

"Shh - the snow in the yard is not thick. Someone must have swept it not long ago. There are people here." The sharp voice whispered.

"What should we do then?" another person asked in a gruff voice.

"Pretend to be that man's companion and go in to investigate the situation."

"why me?"

"You look honest, so it's easy for you to gain the other person's trust."

"You are quite clever, go ahead if you want."

The two of them pushed each other back and forth, but neither of them was willing to enter the yard. Pei Junlin shook his head and sighed, and in a flash, he appeared outside the gate.

In front of me were two men, one strong and one thin, wrapped in thick black bear skins, lying at the gate of the yard and looking inside stealthily.

"Okay, no need to be polite, come in." A voice like a ghost sounded from behind.

Before the two of them could react, Pei Junlin grabbed the back of their collars and took them back to the cabin.

"Ah - ah - ah -" The two men had no idea what was going on. They looked at the five people with unfriendly faces standing in the cabin, and their screams got stuck in their throats.

Ai Wanxin was too lazy to waste time talking to them, and said directly: "Brother Han, ask them what Master Kang is and what it means to eat brains."

Yin Yanhan nodded slightly and locked eyes with the two of them.

The two men's eyes flashed, and the thin man said hesitantly: "Master Kang, whose real name is Kang Baibo, is the head of our base. He has strong abilities and can control fire. He also found that as long as he eats the brains of these mutants, the symptoms of headaches will be alleviated and become stronger."

The stronger one added, "So Lord Kang captured a lot of these people and kept them for later use."

Ai Wanxin frowned deeply. The useful thing should be the Sentinel Pearl, but there was only one pearl. It was obvious that Mr. Kang had eaten the pearl himself and gave his brain as a placebo to these idiots.

Ai Wanxin asked again: "What does big fish mean?"

The sturdy man said, "Today, Master Kang caught a very strange man. He can actually become invisible. He secretly let all the food run away last night. He was not satisfied with this and wanted to assassinate Master Kang. If Master Kang did not have magical powers, all supernatural powers would not be able to be used in front of Master Kang, and he might have succeeded."

"As a result, because his supernatural power failed, he was caught by Master Kang and was waiting to be killed and eaten at night."

"What's invisibility?"

"What restrains superpowers?"

After hearing these words, Ai Wanxin felt her head full of question marks, while Tuoba Qing, who was standing behind her, shuddered all over, his eyes trembled, and a huge wave of emotion rose in his heart.

At this time, the man who was rescued by them sat up, looked at his lost hand in a daze, and then looked at the two people who had been torturing him.

He nodded and said, "Yes, that Master Kang is indeed very strange. All my supernatural powers cannot be used around him."

"In the early hours of this morning, the dog cage that held us was suddenly opened, and I escaped. It turned out that someone saved me."

"I have to repay the life-saving grace. I have to go back and save people!"

The man staggered to his feet, but even though Ai Wanxin had healed his injuries, he still hadn't eaten properly for a month, and his blood sugar was terribly low. He stood up suddenly, and his vision went dark.

He Yang gave him a hand, and the man didn't fall headfirst to the ground.

"Although I'm in a hurry..." Ai Wanxin said thoughtfully, "But such a rare thing must be seen."

Tuoba Qiong raised an objection in a very unusual way: "The mission is more urgent. You go to Yidongling and I will handle this."

He Yang looked at him and smiled, "It's not my style to not deal with people who harm their compatriots like this."

Yin Yanhan's scrutinizing gaze also fell on Tuoba Qing's face: "The matter of Yidongling is not that urgent."

The veins on Tuoba Qiong's forehead twitched: "If we delay for one more day, countless people may freeze to death."

Ai Wanxin made a prompt decision and said, "A-Qiong, you go to Yidongling first to explore the way. We will arrive later after we deal with that guy named Kang."
