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

Mo Dong quickly stepped forward and said, "Later I need to find a food printer, could you help me hide it?"

Jingyuan glanced at him and said, "Do you think I can hide that thing on my person?"

Penny laughed and said, "If you can actually find a food printer, the contribution points you get will be enough for you to eat high-class food for a long time."

"that is!"

The group chatted quietly as they descended deeper into the base to investigate.

Surprisingly, they didn't encounter any danger along the way.

This survival base is like a bucket buried underground, with four nodes from top to bottom, which can serve as defense points in special circumstances.

A large amount of supplies are located after the lowest node.

This contains energy, medicine, food reserves, and some production equipment.

Medicines and food have limited shelf lives, and many of them are no longer usable after so many years, but it is still possible to select some of them.

As for the long shelf life of the energy, that's fine. Although the equipment is somewhat damaged, it can still be used after some repairs.

Jingyuan and his group searched almost the entire interior of the survival base, finding supplies without encountering any danger.

Jing Yuan felt something was amiss and contacted Chu Feng above, asking, "Chu Feng, is there any news from above?"

"everything is normal."

"Everything is normal?" Jing Yuan felt something was off. Was it really going so smoothly?

"Yes! How are you doing down there?"

“We’ve found the supplies. You and Dehai take the other two Dust People down here to help us move the supplies, and leave Neil to keep watch alone.”

"Everyone come down?"

"Yes! Otherwise, we won't be able to finish moving everything!"

Jing Yuan's words startled Chu Feng. "Can't move it all? How much is that?"

After communicating with Chu Feng, Jing Yuan put away his weapons and began moving the supplies out.

He pilots a gravity-powered vehicle, allowing for even faster transport speeds.

"We can't believe we got the supplies so easily!" Mo Dong and Lin Ge happily carried the supplies.

This time, they'll earn a lot of contribution points again.

Penny was also quite surprised, "In the two years I've been a member of the Hunters, I've only encountered this situation twice. Either we encountered Devouring Beasts at the beginning, or we encountered them during the retreat. At worst, we encountered Spine Worms..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't say that, the mission isn't over yet." If Jing Yuan weren't piloting the gravity vehicle, he would have liked to go up and cover Penny's mouth.

Some things are best left unsaid; sometimes, it's just that mysterious—what you say comes true.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out from above.

Jing Yuan immediately contacted Chu Feng, "Chu Feng, what happened up there?"

"We've encountered a spinal worm!"

"Don't panic, I'm coming to your aid right away!"

"No need! Just one!"

"Huh?" Jingyuan was also a little surprised.

He glanced at Penny, who realized she had been a bit of a jinx.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from afar.

Jing Yuan focused his senses and discovered a spine-worm in the distance.

Jingyuan drew his heavy pistol and fired a bullet.

The spine worm's body exploded instantly.

"Don't be careless. Where there is flesh and soil, there are spinal worms. Although this little thing is not very powerful, it can release fishy toxins."

"know."

"what!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a commoner came running over shouting, a spinal worm clinging to his body.

Penny was closest to him, but she hesitated to fire.

Seeing that the spine worm was about to release its venomous substance, Jing Yuan quickly used his mental power to control a small flying knife, which sliced ​​off the spine worm's head.

Penny knew it was Jingyuan who did it, but she didn't know what methods he used.

Jingyuan quickly said, "Don't be afraid. Even if your bullet misses, he can still be saved. But if he gets infected with the 'fishy red toxin,' he's beyond saving."

Penny felt a pang of guilt; she was genuinely worried about accidentally injuring someone. But Jingyuan was right—between two evils, choose the lesser; she should have fired, not hesitated.

Chapter 44 Support

The sudden appearance of two spinal worms did not affect the team's actions.

During their transport of supplies, they also encountered the spine-worm, but Jingyuan dealt with it easily.

Because the entire base is barrel-shaped, there is enough space in the middle for hoisting, which greatly increases their speed of moving supplies.

They quickly moved the supplies to the ground.

Even when it was time to evacuate, they did not encounter any Devouring Beasts.

This mission went incredibly smoothly.

"Lighthouse, we have completed our mission and are preparing to return. Please prepare to receive our data!"

"Lighthouse received! Hmm..." Lighthouse replied as usual, but then the communicator said without closing the communication, "Commander, Jingyuan's team reports that they have completed their mission and are preparing to return!"

"So what if we're coming back? Is it really necessary to be so surprised?" Jingyuan asked curiously, "Are we the first team to return?"

There was no response from the command center; instead, another voice came from inside.

"Jingyuan!"

Jingyuan suddenly heard someone calling his name over the communication, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Is it Jingnan?

"Jingyuan, do you have the capacity to support other teams right now?"

Jingyuan found it strange that Jingnan didn't even ask him why he returned so quickly or if he had encountered any Devouring Beasts. Instead, he directly asked if he had the resources to support other teams!

Jingyuan could only imagine that the other teams must be in dire straits, to the point that Jingnan desperately needed support.

The situation might be so bad that even if Jing Yuan encounters the Devouring Beast, as long as Jing Yuan has the strength, he would still need to provide support.

With that in mind, Jingyuan didn't mince words and simply said, "Yes."

"Okay! I've turned on your communication frequency and synchronized the positions of other teams with you. You can choose the nearest one to support."

What's the situation with the other teams now?

Because communication between groups was blocked during the mission, Jingyuan was unable to know the situation of other teams.

"They were attacked by the Devouring Beasts and are now surrounded..."

"Stop the car!" Jing Yuan immediately told Mo Dong to stop the car, and then said, "You guys go back to the lighthouse first. Something happened to the other teams, I'm going to check it out!"

“Then let’s go! Give me the punctuation!” Mo Dong didn’t hesitate and prepared to drive there.

"No! You take the supplies back to the lighthouse, I'll go alone! According to the hunters' rules, we should bring the supplies back first."

“How can you go alone!” Penny said with some worry. “I’ll go with you!”

Jingyuan looked at Penny, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head. "No! I'll go alone."

After saying that, Jing Yuan went outside, put on the gravity suit alone, activated the gravity suit's flight device, and flew away!

Seeing this, Penny became even more worried: "How much energy will he have left if he flies over like that!"

Penny's concerns were not unfounded; the energy of a gravitational body is limited, and the flight device can only provide short-term flight.

If forced to fly for an extended period of time, the energy might be exhausted before reaching the destination, let alone being able to control the gravity body in combat.

Jingyuan was certainly aware of this.

However, he dared to do this because firstly, the situation was urgent, and secondly, Jing Yuan had a trump card that others did not have.

After absorbing the life essence of that lizard-like Devouring Beast, Jing Yuan's mental power increased significantly.

He can now not only control three throwing knives, but also lift larger and heavier objects.

He is now using his telekinesis to lift the gravitational body into the air.

The biggest challenge for a gravitational body's flight device is overcoming gravity. However, Jing Yuan is now using his telekinesis to lift the gravitational body, requiring only a small thrust to make it fly.

It was originally just a plan, but it unexpectedly succeeded.

Jingyuan observed the distribution of the other four teams through the gravity-controlled internal display screen.

The teams closest to him right now are those from Mexico City and Luca.
