Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

Jingyuan's series of questions made Penny lower her head.

Penny is essentially a kind person; in her eyes, the Dust People are also human beings.

That makes sense; Donnie was indeed in the wrong.

"It's bandaged up."

"Thank you!"

Penny nodded and turned to leave.

Mark sent a message via communication frequency, saying that they had found the necessary materials inside the building and asked the outside to send a few Dust People over to transport the supplies.

Having received the mission, no one paid any attention to Jingyuan. So he broke away from the main force and came to the wilderness on the outskirts.

Jingyuan took out a dagger, which belonged to Donnie and had just taken it from him.

With a thought, Jing Yuan controlled the dagger to fly rapidly into the distance.

Without the limitations of space, Jingyuan could unleash his full potential.

Using his telekinesis, Jing Yuan controlled the dagger to fly to the end of the path, estimating it to be about a hundred meters away.

"It seems that 100 meters is the limit."

Although telekinesis has a distance limit, Jingyuan can control it at will within its range.

"There's movement!"

Jing Yuan stood in the wilderness. He could sense the presence of the hunters behind him, and even the presence of Mark and the others. Further away, he sensed the presence of non-human beings.

Psychic power is a type of mental power, and the two may complement each other.

Jingyuan's telekinetic control can reach 100 meters, while his mental perception range is at least 500 meters!

Now, he can clearly sense that non-human auras are approaching from a distance of 500 meters.

On the ground today, this non-human aura is probably that of a Devouring Beast!

Jingyuan quickly returned to the main force.

At this moment, Erica had already entered the gravity body to prepare.

Erica was the only acquaintance present, so Jingyuan had to go up to her and say, "Erica, notify Captain Mark that a Devouring Beast is approaching, and tell him to act quickly."

"Devouring Beast? Where?" Erica immediately turned on the radar, but unfortunately the radar was not accurate in detecting the Devouring Beast, otherwise she wouldn't have been ambushed by it every time.

"You notify Captain Mark first! We'll go to the outer perimeter and hold off the Devouring Beasts!"

Erica had no doubts about Jing Yuan; this was a basic quality of a hunter—when faced with a Devouring Beast, it was better to believe it existed than not.

After informing Mark, she prepared to go with Jingyuan to fight off the Devouring Beast.

After Jingyuan finished speaking, he noticed a gravity object next to him and asked Erica, "Whose is this?"

Corey's.

"What about others?"

"I followed Mark inside."

After thinking for a moment, Jing Yuan jumped directly into Corey's gravity body.

"What are you doing?" Erica exclaimed in surprise.

Gravity bodies are usually paired with the pilot.

"Warning! Driver mismatch detected!"

A warning sound emanated from the gravity body, but this did not deter Jing Yuan.

He pressed an emergency button within the gravity system and then entered the following message: "Activate emergency mode, emergency code: Lord of Light and Shadow 944!"

"Emergency mode activated, code verification successful. Shangmin Jingyuan, identity verification successful! Initiating matching!"

"Match successful!"

Soon, Jingyuan will be able to control this gravity body.

Seeing this, Erica playfully exclaimed, "Wow, not bad!"

Mastering the operation of a gravity vehicle is a basic skill for the Hunter Gravity Vehicle pilot.

It would be incredibly stupid to encounter an emergency and have a gravity-based device nearby that you can't use.

"Afu! Let's go, let's fight the Devouring Beast!" Erica called to the pilot of another Gravity Body.

The Hunters only brought four Gravity Bodies with them on this mission.

Except for Mark's gravity body, which remained in place, the other three had moved to the outer area.

At this moment, the Devouring Beast was already close enough to be seen with the naked eye.

Chapter 10 Killing the Devouring Beast

Jing Yuan looked at the Devouring Beasts in the distance. He used his mental power to sense that there were more than twenty Devouring Beasts.

Mental perception can only sense aura; to know the other party's form, one still needs to rely on the naked eye.

Fortunately, the Devouring Beasts visible to the naked eye are all of the pan-genetic type, so they are not too difficult to fight.

Jingyuan was the first to rush out.

Erica shouted loudly, but couldn't stop him.

Although Jingyuan has experience with driving simulators, he has very little experience driving real machines, let alone in actual combat.

This is my first time using it in real combat!

However, after Jingyuan's body was strengthened by the system, his mental strength was significantly stronger than before, which made it very smooth for him to pilot the gravity body.

Piloting a gravity vehicle is like using your own body.

Jing Yuan manipulated the gravity body, raised the heavy rifle, and fired at the Devouring Beast.

boom! boom! boom!

One shot at a time!

Erica was stunned by Jingyuan's actions; shooting with a gravity-based object and shooting with one's own hands were completely different things.

Even if Jing Yuan's shooting skills are usually very high, his ability to control gravity objects for shooting should not be this strong.

Erica is excellent among gravity body pilots. Her shooting skills are also good in normal times, but she can perform at this level when she is on a gravity body!

Erica was still shocked by Jingyuan's driving skills.

Jing Yuan had already rushed to within fifty meters. After hitting five Devouring Beasts, two more Devouring Beasts came from the left and right sides respectively.

A Devouring Beast bit Jing Yuan's rifle. Before Jing Yuan could react, the rifle was snatched away.

He punched the Devouring Beast in the head, knocking it unconscious.

Before he could pick up his gun, Jing Yuan grabbed the neck of another Devouring Beast, drew his Gravity Body Greatsword with his other hand, and plunged it into the beast's body.

The broadsword pierced the chest of the Devouring Beast. The Devouring Beast struggled for a moment, then lay still.

Jing Yuan stared at the Devouring Beast, his spiritual power spreading out. He felt an invisible aura flowing into his body through the greatsword.

As this energy flowed into his limbs and bones, Jingyuan clearly felt his strength increase and his mental power range expand.

"So that's it!"

Jing Yuan was still wondering how to absorb the life essence of the Devouring Beast, but it turns out he could do it by killing it!

Just as Jing Yuan was pondering for a moment, another Devouring Beast charged over.

Using his mental perception, Jing Yuan had already discovered the Devouring Beast.

He swung his sword backhand and chopped off the Devouring Beast's head.

However, this time, the ability to absorb life essence was not triggered.

"What's going on?" Jing Yuan asked, puzzled.

He looked at the Devouring Beast and suddenly realized something.

Jing Yuan stepped forward and plunged his blade into the chest of the Devouring Beast.

The first stab missed, so they stabbed him again.

click!

Jingyuan sensed that something had shattered.

Immediately afterwards, the aura of life essence began to be transmitted through the longsword.

"So it turns out you need to hit the Spirit Seed!"

The Spirit Seed is where the Devouring Beasts store their life essence; it turns out their life essence is also inside the Spirit Seed.

"Jingyuan, stop spacing out! These guys will revive. Hurry up and kill the other Devouring Beasts to buy Mark and the others some time."

The teachers at school also said that the Devouring Beasts cannot be killed. They will revive soon after they die, and the hunters can only escape during the time between the Devouring Beasts' death and revival.

However, Jingyuan remembered that the original animation mentioned that the Devouring Beast was not immortal. As long as the Spirit Seed was destroyed, the Devouring Beast could not be resurrected.
