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

Jing Yuan scanned the area with his mental power and discovered the aura of the Devouring Beast ahead.

"Stop!" Jing Yuan ordered without giving any reason.

He needs to perceive things carefully.

Within the range of his mental perception, Origin sensed the auras of at least twenty Devouring Beasts.

However, these auras were different from those I had sensed before; they were very faint.

This was the first time Jing Yuan had encountered such a situation. These auras were indeed those of Devouring Beasts, and there were many of them.

If we go directly there, the casualties will likely be huge.

"Jingyuan, what's wrong?" Kunjie stepped forward and asked.

"I sense danger ahead."

Kun Jie said, "The abnormal air quality index detected could be due to bromine mist. This often happens in areas affected by ecological pollution. If we take precautions, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"It's not bromine mist, it's a Devouring Beast." Jing Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go to another area!"

"Hey, what happened to the smug vice-captain? Why are you backing down now? We haven't even encountered anything yet, and you're already giving up?"

Jingyuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Locke who was speaking.

This guy was already dissatisfied after being beaten by Jing Yuan, so he naturally took the opportunity to make sarcastic remarks.

"Let's go!" Jing Yuan turned around directly, not giving Kun Jie a chance to speak.

If he were to actually ask, Jingyuan would have a hard time explaining.

Jing Yuan walked over to the three members of the Light and Shadow Society, stared at Locke, and said, "Since you're so bold, then stay here!"

Jingyuan then beckoned to Mo Dong, "If they want to stay, give them back their weapons!"

After saying that, Jingyuan led the others back.

As a result, the three of them still followed and walked back.

After returning to the ground, they went through the process again, confirmed another factory ruin, and then went down underground again.

In the ruins of this factory, traces of the ecosystem are evident, and the air is filled with bromine mist.

The team members wore masks after they went down.

However, after scanning with his mental power, Jing Yuan found that there was no trace of the Devouring Beast below.

Because mental perception also has distance limitations, and the perception becomes increasingly blurred as you move from near to far.

Jingyuan sensed the aura of the Devouring Beast in one of the directions.

The aura was the same as the one I had sensed before, and it was pointing towards the same empty space from before.

Jing Yuan guessed that this must be one of the batch of Devouring Beasts from earlier.

They walked on the ground and just happened to avoid them.

After confirming that it was safe, Jingyuan ordered everyone to search the factory premises.

Jing Yuan himself stood in the center, observing the surrounding situation.

The three members of the Light and Shadow Society stood next to Jing Yuan, watching the hunters search, but they didn't have to do anything.

Jingyuan watched them from the side, growing increasingly displeased.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Jingyuan asked, "What did Charles ask you to come down here to find?"

Fan En glanced at Jing Yuan and said, "The head of the organization said that you don't need to know."

"How can I assist you if you don't let me know?"

"Once the mission is over, you can come with us to another landmark."

"Humph!"

"Jingyuan, we've found something here!" Chu Feng's voice came through Jingyuan's communicator.

"There's an equipment repair room here, with lots of repair equipment. I checked it, and a lot of it is usable."

"it is good!"

"Jingyuan, I've also made a discovery!" Gao Ge said through the communicator, "I've found a food processing machine, and I'm inspecting it now."

"Great!" Jing Yuan immediately ordered, "Everyone move to Chu Feng and Gao Ge's location immediately and prepare to transfer the supplies out."

"Yes!"

The hunters carried out their supplies and equipment and gathered together.

Kun Jie inspected the equipment and said, "With these devices, repairing the food processing machine on the lighthouse should be no problem."

Jing Yuan was also very happy. He was able to bring back the materials without encountering the Devouring Beast. Luck played a part, but it was also thanks to his mental scan that he discovered the Devouring Beast's traces.

Although it wasted some time, fortunately there were no casualties.

"Alright! Everyone, get ready to go up. Notify the lighthouse to synchronize coordinates."

“Vice Captain Jingyuan, your mission is complete. It’s our turn now,” Fan En said at this moment.

Jingyuan turned around and gave him a very displeased look.

"We'll talk about leaving once the supplies are loaded!"

"What do you mean?"

Jingyuan simply walked away.

They were unarmed, so Jingyuan didn't bother with them.

The hunters began transporting supplies when suddenly something emerged from a dark corner.

"what!"

A dusty person carrying supplies suddenly screamed.

Since mental scanning is very mentally taxing, Jingyuan cannot release his mental energy at all times.

It wasn't until he heard a scream that Jing Yuan scanned the area with his mental energy and discovered that a Devouring Beast was approaching.

Jing Yuan piloted the gravity vehicle and rapidly approached, even raising his sword, but he couldn't see the Devouring Beast!

Jing Yuan landed on the ground and asked the mortal, "Where is the Devouring Beast?"

The dust-people pointed ahead.

Jingyuan looked closely and saw a monster the size of a stray dog ​​in front of him.

The monster has a slender body, six legs, and glowing tentacles.

Jingyuan searched his mind for information about this type of Devouring Beast, but found nothing similar.

It appears to be a newly emerging Devouring Beast.

The Devouring Beasts I've encountered in the past have all been quite large. Aside from the offspring of the Bearer Beast, the Devouring Beast before me is the smallest.

The little Devouring Beast saw Jing Yuan and suddenly rushed over.

Chapter 56 Covering the Team's Retreat

Jing Yuan raised his hand and with a single strike of his broadsword, he cleaved the Devouring Beast in two.

It is small in size and has weak defenses.

Jing Yuan looked closely and realized that this little Devouring Beast actually had a Spirit Seed.

This is different from the offspring of the beast that carries the offspring.

Jing Yuan stepped on the Devouring Beast's spirit seed, crushing it instantly.

A surge of life essence was absorbed by Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan scanned the area with his mental power and discovered that these small Devouring Beasts were appearing one after another.

One of the commoners was caught off guard and bitten by the Devouring Beast. The beast's tentacles glowed and absorbed the commoner's life essence.

Jing Yuan couldn't save the Dust People in time, so he could only kill the Devouring Beast with a single strike to avenge them.

Besides Jing Yuan, Erica and Neil were piloting gravity vehicles, but against such small Devouring Beasts, their gravity vehicles were at a disadvantage.

Even though Penny, Mo Dong, and the others don't have gravity bodies, they were still able to kill the Devouring Beasts. Although they couldn't kill them in one shot, they could take them down with a few more shots.

However, when they killed the Devouring Beast, they only caused its temporary death.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Jing Yuan did not kill the Devouring Beast, but instead finished off the temporarily dead Devouring Beast.

The three members of the Light and Shadow Society found this scene very strange.

But now the Devouring Beasts are attacking, and the three of them have no weapons, so they shout, "Give us the weapons! Give us the weapons!"

They called out twice but no one answered, and they didn't have time to question Jing Yuan.

The little Devouring Beast darted into the crowd.

A Devouring Beast pounced straight at Fan En, knocking him down and preparing to absorb his life essence.

Seeing this, Loriev, though unarmed, kicked out and sent the Devouring Beast flying like a sandbag.
