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

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

At this moment, the communication frequency was in complete chaos. Jingyuan and Penny exchanged a glance and immediately prepared to head back.

But at that moment, rustling sounds began to appear around them.

Jing Yuan scanned the area with his spiritual power but found no Devouring Beast. However, his powerful senses allowed him to detect some subtle movements.

Penny, holding a rifle, swept the light across the room and spotted a spinal worm.

"It's a spinal worm!"

Penny gave a warning and immediately fired at the spine worm.

Bang bang bang!

The spinal worm is small and agile, making it difficult to hit with a single shot. Penny fired at least six or seven bullets before finally killing the spinal worm.

Jing Yuan also discovered the traces of the spine worm. He was wearing a gravity suit when a spine worm crawled past him. Jing Yuan raised his foot and stomped it to death.

Looking at the flattened spine worm, Jing Yuan was puzzled. Why couldn't he detect it with his spiritual power? Was it because it was too small?

Moreover, after killing the spinal worm, it did not absorb any life essence.

Jingyuan took down his broadsword and severed a spinal worm in one strike, but it contained no life essence.

What the hell is this?

"Run!" Penny shouted immediately, then retreated while firing.

The spine worm has a weak attack power, but it has a very annoying characteristic: it releases serotonin.

Once a person is infected with serotonin, there is no cure.

Suddenly, a spinal worm jumped onto Penny's back. Unable to attack the worm, Penny could only sway from side to side, trying to shake it off.

"Penny! Don't move!" Jing Yuan shouted.

Trusting her companion, Penny immediately stopped.

With a whoosh, Penny felt the spinal cord detach from her back.

Looking back, I saw that the head of the spinal worm had been cut off by something.

"Go quickly!"

Before Penny could think it over, Jingyuan urged her on, as more and more spinal worms were appearing around them.

The method for dealing with the low-level Mana creature, the Spine Worm, is very simple: just cut off its head.

But while it sounds simple, very few hunters can actually do it.

Everyone likes to use firearms, but even if a bullet hits the head, it won't kill the spinal worm immediately.

This was a minor problem for Jing Yuan. He used his telekinesis to control the throwing knife and easily severed the head of a spiny worm.

With just a single arc, Jingyuan controlled the throwing knife to sever the heads of five spine-borne worms.

"Run! I'll hold them off!"

Jingyuan stood behind Penny, letting her run first.

Jingyuan stood there, manipulating his throwing knives to slaughter the swarm of spine-borne worms.

Before long, all of the dozens of spine-borne worms perished under the flying knives.

Unfortunately, these spinal worms lack vital essence.

Was it not enough, or was it too little? Jingyuan was too lazy to investigate.

Jingyuan, piloting the gravity vehicle, caught up with Penny in no time.

Penny asked as she ran, "Did you block the spineworm swarm?"

"We're blocked, but we still need to get out as soon as possible."

Back in the room where they had found the equipment, Chu Feng and Neil were also moving supplies.

Erica stood guard nearby. She knew the situation of the second and third teams, and when she saw Jingyuan and Penny running back in a panic, she knew that something had happened here as well.

"Is it a Devouring Beast?"

"It's a spinal worm!"

Jingyuan said, "Erica, you guys move these devices out first, I'll go help Captain Mark!"

"it is good!"

With Erica's gravity plane here and four armed hunters, even if the spine worms come after us, it won't be a big problem.

Jingyuan turned on location sharing and began searching for Mark's location.

He piloted the gravity body through a corridor inside the building, quickly approaching Mark's position.

At the same time, he was also conducting a mental search; combining the two would make his search even faster.

Upon arriving at the center of the building, Jingyuan suddenly sensed the presence of someone nearby.

He looked at the locations of Team One, Team Two, and Team Three on the map, none of which were nearby, but he could indeed sense human presence.

Jingyuan looked up at the ceiling. "Up there?"

Chapter 34: Consecutive Kills! Absorb!

Jing Yuan looked up at the ceiling and hesitated for a few seconds.

someone!

And if they're not hunters, then they must be people who live on the ground.

Could they be one of Bai Yuekui's men?

Should we try to contact them?

The hunters are currently facing a spinal worm, but the spinal worm isn't a major problem.

Mark didn't mention encountering the Devouring Beast, and even if he did, Mark's abilities would allow him to handle it.

Whether Jingyuan goes to support Mark or not is not a big deal.

Now, the people on the ceiling are even more intriguing to Jingyuan.

Jing Yuan activated the gravity body's propulsion system, maneuvering the gravity body to leap up, using the dilapidated ruins of the building as a springboard, and gradually jumped to the ceiling.

Jingyuan jumped through a crack in the building and landed on the rooftop above the entire building.

But when he jumped onto the rooftop, the person's aura suddenly stirred.

Jing Yuan quickly manipulated his gravity body to chase after him, but the other party deliberately avoided Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan controlled the gravity body to fly, and after passing a row of ruins, he saw a figure jumping on the broken rooftop.

Seeing this, he was certain that his mental perception was correct and that this person was not a Lighthouse person.

The other party was a man, who was agile and ran through the ruins as if on flat ground.

Ordinary humans couldn't possibly possess such physical strength, which further convinced Jing Yuan that this person was from the ground. And like Bai Yuekui, he was someone who had awakened his abilities.

But why does he run away as soon as he sees Jing Yuan?

Recalling the original plot, it seems that Bai Yuekui was always paying attention to the situation on the lighthouse. Several times when Mark went on ground missions, she was observing from a distance.

Given their understanding of lighthouses, they wouldn't be so wary of the lighthouse keeper.

Why are they unwilling to have contact with the lighthouse makers?

Jingyuan was puzzled, but he did not stop his pursuit.

The two landed on the roof of the building one after the other, and then the man darted into a pile of ruins.

But Jingyuan could sense his presence, so no matter how he tried to escape, Jingyuan was still able to keep up with him.

But not long after, the person's presence disappeared!

"Disappeared? He can conceal his presence?"

Jingyuan stopped and began to recall that in the original work, the people on the ground led by Bai Yuekui possessed the ability to conceal their presence.

However, this ability is only effective against beasts that conceal their presence.

Why can you also block my mental detection?

Is it because they are the same type of sensory means?

Or perhaps I'm actually the same as the Devouring Beast.

It's no wonder Jing Yuan would think that way, since he can level up by devouring the life essence of Devouring Beasts.

No matter how you look at it, he seems like a humanoid Devouring Beast.

"I don't even know how to conceal my presence yet!"

Jingyuan sighed, then prepared to go back.

It seems the time is not yet right to make contact with people on the ground.

Jing Yuan immediately rushed back. As soon as he stepped out of the ruins, he sensed the presence of a group of Devouring Beasts.
