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

The four of them were collectively petrified in the sea breeze.

He Yang was horrified, and he grabbed Ai Wanxin's shoulder and shouted, "Sweetheart, who lied to you like this? Who?!"

Ai Wan was puzzled: "Huh? I figured it out myself."

He Yang said with great sorrow: "Sweetheart, you have met too few people and are easily deceived."

After saying that, he glared at Yin Yanhan angrily, his nose not a nose and his eyes not eyes.

Yin Yanhan reacted instantly and the veins on his forehead jumped: ...My fists are itching and I want to beat someone up.

Pei Junlin pushed He Yang's hand away, squeezed him away and said to Ai Wanxin with a smile: "Baby, why do you say that suddenly?"

Ai Wanxin pointed at the shadow in the sky and said, "You may not believe me, but I also have a tree in my body. Although my tree is a little smaller, I think my tree can hang it up and beat it."

The four of them looked at her, then looked at the towering tree in the distance. The sun boat near the foot of the tree did not look as big as one of its leaves.

Hanging or something...

Yin Yanhan withdrew his gaze from a distance and met Ai Wanxin's expectant eyes. He said blindly and without principles: "You can do whatever you want."

The solar boat cuts through the waves and speeds like flying.

Soon, the sunlight that could not be seen above gradually disappeared from the bow. The dome of the giant tree, like a bronze umbrella, was like a huge mouth of the abyss, swallowing the tiny ship into the deep shadow.

After entering the canopy of giant trees with lush greenery, the speed of the Sun Boat slowed down noticeably.

The raised bow of the boat broke through the amber-clear water surface and passed through the dark brown roots as thick as stone bridges.

Aerial roots covered with moss hang down from the branches that are so tall that one cannot see the horizon. They look like a harp left behind by an ancient giant god. When caressed by the sea breeze, they emit a long and melancholy sigh.

The waterways cut off by the tangled roots of giant trees were like a maze. The sunlight leaking through the gaps in the treetops became less and less, and soon they could only see by the flickering blue fluorescence on the bark or aerial roots.

He Yang whispered, "Sweetheart, based on the density of ships on the sea just now, we should have encountered one or two ships. Do you want me to go and see what's going on?"

Pei Junlin advised: "Didn't we try it just now? There is no signal at the terminal. If you fly away now, you may not be able to find it back."

"The situation here is still unclear. I think it's better not to act separately. What do you think, baby?"

Ai Wanxin nodded: "That's right, and don't you think there seems to be something watching us?"

Without the sunlight, the perceived temperature dropped very quickly in the shadow of the umbrella crown.

The solar boat sailed through the irregular bay, making almost no sound.

There was total silence all around. Ai Wan didn't need to say anything, as the top sentinels with keen five senses also felt the approaching danger.

The four of them quietly occupied the four corners around Ai Wanxin and surrounded her in the center.

Four pairs of hawk-like sharp eyes vigilantly scanned every corner around them.

Just when Ai Wan was wondering whether to release the animals in the space to expand his vision, a gray shadow as fast as lightning flashed through the low-hanging aerial roots.

Pei Junlin's figure flashed, and in an instant he blocked the gray shadow's way. The gray shadow turned urgently, but almost hit He Yang who appeared behind it at some point. It spun around again, and the air roots that could have been easily swung away suddenly formed a net, covering its head, and then suddenly tightened at the opening, trapping it into a ball.

An ice blade condensed in Pei Junlin's palm, and a cold light flashed. Amid the gray shadow's terrified and sharp scream, the air root broke. He Yang grabbed the air root ball, brought it back to the boat, and threw it in front of Ai Wanxin.

Ai Wanxin raised her hand and ignited a fireball, the firelight illuminating a small area at the bow.

With the help of the firelight, Ai Wanxin saw clearly the thing in front of her, or should I say, a person?

She didn't know how to describe it.

The "person" was caught in the web woven by the aerial roots. He curled up into a small ball with his hands on his knees, his head buried deeply in his arms, leaving only two pointed black ears exposed.

He couldn't stop shaking all over, and a long brown leather tail leaked out from the mesh behind him. It swayed restlessly on the deck like a long earthworm, and was stepped on by Jing Shen's foot.

"Squeak-squeak-"

The "person" cried out in pain, and Jing said affectionately: "If you cry out again, I'll chop you off~"

The screams stopped abruptly, and Ai Wan was surprised and said, "It can understand us."

Pei Junlin had also returned to the boat at this time. He leaned over, grabbed the sparse hair on the "person's" head, and pulled its head up.

A pair of black eyes without whites that were flashing with an uneasy light inevitably met Ai Wanxin's gaze.

Ai Wanxin frowned slightly. In front of her was a pair of eyes that were exactly the same shape as humans', with single eyelids and drooping eyes.

His thin face was covered with patches of brown suede, and his mouth was half open, revealing a pair of long front teeth that gleamed in the firelight.

Despite this, it was not difficult to see that it was the face of a young human male.

And for some reason, Ai Wanxin felt that he looked familiar...
