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

The vine bridge led her through the thick fog for about half an hour, and finally stopped in front of her. When Ai Wanxin came closer, the fog slowly dissipated in front of her.

In front of her was an open space, with huge trees surrounding it like a wall, and vines weaving a dense and sparse net between the trees.

The vine in front of her slowly stroked the back of her hand, as if kissing her.

Ai Wanxin touched the withered vines of the tree with her backhand, and it retreated as if it had been rewarded.

The open spaces in the forest were also covered with such vines, which were entangled into a huge ball at regular intervals.

Those spheres were as tall as an entire building, and bursts of pulsating pale white light emanated from the gaps between the vines.

There are no less than a hundred such balls on the open space.

Ai Wanxin glanced around the entire place and didn't see any humans. After thinking for a while, she stepped into the open space surrounded by giant trees and vines, walked to the nearest ball, and looked up at it carefully.

Through the gaps in the vines, you can see a light-colored film emitting white light. If you listen carefully, you can even hear some slight sounds of water.

On the vines, tiny light blue dots can be seen circulating and moving.

She hesitated for a moment before placing her palm on the light-colored film between the vines.

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-" A faint but rhythmic pulse came from under the palm.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past from under the light white film. Before she could withdraw her hand, the black shadow suddenly stuck to the area she was touching, and the hard touch came through the film.

Ai Wan was startled and took her hand back.

Through the translucent film, she vaguely saw a big brown eye looking at her eagerly.

Seeing that she didn't move, the thing inside stuck tightly to the film, as if trying to break free. Because it struggled so hard, the ball that was completely wrapped by the vines swayed back and forth.

Ai Wanxin hesitated for a moment, but still put her hand on it.

The thing inside really quieted down, rubbing gently against her hand.

Ai Wanxin felt that she seemed to sense its love and dependence on her.

If the thing inside is a living creature, then what is wrapped in the vine may be its embryo, but what kind of embryo is this and why is it here?

She was actually completely confused.

As the sky gradually darkened, the faint blue spots of light that were originally not very obvious on the vines gradually became clearer. Looking around, the spots of light flowed along the winding and tangled vines from the woods to the hundreds of balls on the open space.

And the one in front of her, the light spots on the vines were particularly dense.

"Puff——" Without any warning, a round hole was pushed out from the inside of the embryo in front of him, and a sharp claw pierced through the thin membrane and pierced out from the gap in the vines.

The water in the embryo poured out, and Ai Wanxin took a few steps back to avoid being splashed by the slightly fishy water.

The vines completed their mission and retreated like the tide, retracting into the woods.

The thin membrane that had leaked out all the "amniotic fluid" covered the thing inside, making it chirp.

But Ai Wanxin knew that it was best not to help at this time, because this was the first hurdle for the cub to enter the world.

The "little thing" covered by the film is about two meters long, with a big head, a long tail, and limbs close to the ground. Although its appearance cannot be seen clearly, its shape looks like some kind of reptile.

Fortunately, it was quite smart. It bit the membrane with its long snout and quickly tore it into pieces with its sharp claws.

It tilted its head back and swallowed the thin film in its mouth, its large brown eyes with vertical pupils staring at Ai Wanxin.

In the dim sunlight, Ai Wanxin could clearly see the scales on its body, which had hardened from light gray to black, a circle of sharp bone spurs on its neck, and its long tail was thick and powerful.

It looks like a lizard, a crocodile, and a bit like a triceratops. I really have no idea what kind of creature it is.

Let's just call it a little lizard.

She was distracted when the little lizard crawled a few steps towards her in a somewhat clumsy manner, swinging its long tail left and right, just like the golden lizard did when it wanted her to touch its head.

Ai Wanxin tentatively placed her hand on its cold scales, and to her surprise, the little lizard seemed to have spiritual tentacles, which were teasing her palm, as if inviting her.

Ai Wanxin tried to extend her spiritual tentacles and probe into its spiritual sea.

The spiritual sea of ​​the little lizard is somewhat different from that of humans. It is like an endless universe with countless misty colorful nebulae floating in it.

From these nebulae, thread-like spiritual tentacles stretched out and playfully entangled with Ai Wanxin's spiritual tentacles.

Ai Wanxin thought the little lizard was playing with her, so she played with it patiently for a while. But in fact, it didn't mean that at all. In desperation, the little lizard pushed a smoky nebula directly in front of her spiritual tentacles.

Ai Wanxin probed her spiritual tentacles in with a little doubt, and her eyes suddenly shook, and the whole world became hazy and blurry.

"Gulp--Gulp--" A sound like water entering the eardrum while swimming came into her ears. Ai Wanxin took a while to adjust to the sound before she realized that she seemed to have entered the memory of the little lizard.

Is this still possible?

Without time to think about it, she "heard" a noisy sound coming from outside as if through the mist.

"City Lord, here!"

The little lizard seemed to be sleeping, with its transparent eyelids half closed. When it heard the sound, it suddenly opened its eyes, and Ai Wanxin's vision suddenly became much clearer.

The little lizard turned deftly in the embryo and placed one eye against the membrane to look out.

Just like how it looked at itself just now.

Through a layer of light white film, Ai Wanxin saw a group of people holding guns, surrounding a man in a wheelchair, and stopped in front of a huge dark blue ice block in the center of the open space.

Ai Wanxin was not quite sure whether it was ice or not, but it was completely transparent. If it was a stone, it must be a crystal or diamond of extremely high purity.

The lower half of the ice block was rooted deep in the soil, and green vines were entwined and coiled around it, just as they were around the embryos.

The faint blue light came from the inside of the ice and slowly flowed along the vines into the embryos and the forest.

So, is it the one that is nurturing these embryos?

In front of the ice, a man with a gun stood out from the crowd, turned the butt of the gun and smashed it on a vine that was thicker than his thigh, but the vine did not move at all.

He looked back at the man in the wheelchair and smashed the ice with the butt of his gun again.

Before he touched the ice, the vines that were originally like dead objects suddenly moved, and a vine chopped down from the side. The man with the gun subconsciously raised his arm to block it, and the vine "snap" broke his arm and the submachine gun in his hand, splitting him straight in half from top to bottom.

"what!"

The vines on the ground were bubbling like boiling water, and the group of people with guns began to panic.

"City Lord!"

"Protect the city lord!"

They wanted to surround the man in the wheelchair, but saw him take something out of his arms.

He raised his right hand high, and the vines on the ground stopped immediately. Ai Wanxin could almost feel their confusion.

The man looked around and a cold and suppressed voice came from his mouth.

"Everyone, step back."
