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

Lucifer waved his hand, and the image of the White Lady formed by the green mist dissipated with the wind. He then turned to Adrian and sneered, "You have a point. It is indeed time to take back my body."

"Speaking of which, you and my stupid sister did a pretty good job in Frost City. Even though we failed in the end, it was not without merit."

"Now my pets have prepared a second Frost City for you, and Madam Bai has pinned her down. You have no reason to fail, right?"

Adrian's eyes flickered, and he whispered, "Great Lord, do you mean... Zhangcheng?"

Lucifer smiled, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "You don't think I let my pets out just to find something to eat?"

Adrian bowed his head respectfully: "I will do it right away."

"Brother Han, we have to find the person quickly and leave here first."

The lava from the crater in front of us was surging in the cracks in the ground, and the gray clouds formed by the burning sulfur and evaporating water vapor reduced the visible distance to less than half a meter.

Ai Wanxin looked up and saw thick gray smoke hanging overhead. Under such conditions, visibility would be limited even if she flew into the air. However, searching from the ground would be slower and more dangerous.

She released the little red dragon and the eagle-winged mermaid and ordered, "Go find someone, and there's a big blue crystal."

The strange beasts raised their heads and roared loudly, then spread their wings and dived into the thick fog.

She summoned the little fox again, turned over and sat on its back, leaned over and extended her hand to Yin Yanhan: "Brother Han, follow me."

Yin Yanhan grabbed her hand, nimbly turned over and sat behind her, gently holding her slender waist with both hands.

The little fox stepped on the charred volcanic rocks with all four feet and flew into the air on the red runes.

The mountain wind was howling and the smoke was blinding. Ai Wan couldn't help but think that it would be great if Brother Pei was here at this time. Wouldn't it be much more convenient if he could blow away the smoke first?

"Chirp——" A sharp cry came from his ears, and Yin Yanhan swung out a jagged purple lightning with his backhand. With a loud bang, a strange bird with green feathers, blue beak and cockscomb head exploded with a big hole in its chest, and fell to the ground with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

But soon, two more large, very sloppily-looking hammer-headed birds came toward them from the flanks.

The giant hammer-headed bird flapped its wings, and there was a faint rumble of thunder in the wind. The fireball that Ai Wanxin released was caught by the two birds' huge heads. The golden flames meandered down their rusty bodies, and brilliant sparks exploded on the suede wings of the two birds.

However, the two hammer-headed birds just fell down for dozens of meters in a daze, and then chased after them, shaking their heads and flapping their wings.

Is it actually a bird with fire attribute?

In the distance, the little red dragon and the eagle-winged fish-tailed beast also let out angry howls, probably because they were also entangled by these strange birds.

The little fox twisted nimbly in the air. Ai Wanxin held the spear behind his back with one arm and swung it back suddenly. Dazzling white light poured down like a torrent. The hammer-headed bird didn't even have time to make a wailing sound before it was ruthlessly evaporated.

The dazzling arc of light spread out rapidly in a fan shape with unstoppable impact force. The billowing smoke above the crater was instantly dispersed, revealing the charred and cracked earth.

The crater is in a gentle cone shape, with black volcanic rocks as big as trucks falling everywhere. Lava on the ground flows slowly like a spider web, and blue or dark red columns of fire rush up from time to time.

In the center of the crater, a dark blue ice crystal stone was half submerged in the magma, forming a sharp contrast with the dark red lava.

Dark brown vines coiled around its upper body, and the vines snaked out, connecting countless round white membrane balls on the barren ground.

Ai Wanxin had seen such thin membrane balls in the Wailing Canyon. The little seeker beast and the eagle-winged fish-tailed beast were both born from such embryos.

Found it, the Winter Dream!

Ai Wanxin lowered her body, and the little fox immediately understood and dived down, heading straight for Juedong’s dream.

"Boom--" A wall of fire suddenly rose from the crack in the ground. The little fox braked suddenly and raised its body just before hitting the wall of fire. The scorching temperature made its soft neck hair curl slightly, making a slight crackling sound.

Mrs. White slowly emerged from behind the wall of fire. The hem of her white satin evening gown fluttered in the wind, reflecting a pearly soft glow under the glow of the hot lava.

She looked at Ai Wanxin and smiled, "My little cutie, if I were you, I would not disturb Juedong Dreamland now."

Ai Wanxin frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Mrs. Bai turned her gaze to the ground. Ai Wanxin followed her line of sight and was shocked to find a group of people tightly entangled by vines like mummies, including Han Ce's team members wearing black exoskeleton mechas.

"They are still immersed in their dreams. If you disturb Juedong's dream now, their dream world will collapse and their consciousness will be trapped in it forever. Even if they can survive, they will become vegetables in the future, my little cutie." Madam Bai sighed.

Ai Wanxin's face wrinkled slightly, and she tilted her head and asked, "Brother Han, is what she said true?"

Yin Yan's cold eyes fell on Madam Bai's face: "It's true, but the owner of the Absolute Winter Dream can enter everyone's dream and wake them up."

Ai Wanxin's eyes lit up, and she said to Madam Bai happily, "Isn't this simple? I can just kill you and become the master of the Absolute Winter Dream, right?"

Madam Bai smiled and covered her lips, "Little cutie, have you forgotten what we said last time we met? You can't kill me."

Ai Wan thought to herself, "Of course I haven't forgotten. Not only that, I've also thought carefully about what you said."

"I don't know if you have heard of the myth about the Tree of Life and Time. It is a legendary tree that reaches from heaven to earth. It is full of vitality, and its huge crown almost covers the entire sky. Its lush branches and three thick roots connect all realms. At the end of the three roots, there are three springs that provide nutrients for it."

"This three-eyed spring contains infinite wisdom and power. It knows the past and the future and nourishes the life of the entire world."

"And Michael." She paused before continuing, "He used his endless life and half of his power to exchange three prophecies from the Nebula Well, and ultimately died because of it."

"The Nebula Well that can predict the future is probably one of the springs."

"And the energy he dedicated to the Nebula Well eventually flowed to the Crown of the Starry Sky, which is the Tree of Life and Time. Am I right, Madam Bai?"

Mrs. Bai's face changed suddenly, she bit her lip and said nothing.

Ai Wanxin rubbed the back of her right hand calmly. After figuring this out, it also explained why those people wanted to use their supernatural powers on her but their mental powers poured into her body.

She said slowly: "Although I haven't found the Nebula Well, I think this will definitely be able to kill you."
