Ling Cage, pick up Lu Mingfei at the start.

The air was stagnant, as if made of iron, and every breath was accompanied by a stinging, icy pain.

Without exception, everyone compresses their own sense of existence to the limit, maintaining that fragile state of "returning to the origin".

In this deathly silent amusement park, any extra sign of life is like dripping blood into a swarm of hungry sharks.

Those at the bottom of the tower were the most nervous. One after another, Devouring Beasts walked past them. If it weren't for their Origin Return state, which prevented these Devouring Beasts from sensing the Origin Energy fluctuations on their bodies, they would have already turned into piles of flesh and dirt.

Shan Shihui and Jiang Ya sat in their respective bumper cars. This was the first time they had faced a living Devouring Beast. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly. When the Devouring Beast passed by and its long tentacles slid over their bodies, they stopped breathing.

Just as the Devouring Beast was about to leave, it suddenly turned around, as if it sensed something was wrong. If there was no life essence here, why did it feel a warmth from its tentacles just now?

The Devouring Beast's brain capacity wasn't large. It approached the limestone, and the two were now face to face. The Devouring Beast found it strange that the creature in front of it clearly had a temperature, yet there was no fluctuation of life essence.

Shan Huishi dared not even breathe loudly. The stench emanating from the Devouring Beast's breath made him tremble. He struggled to maintain his original state. He was still young and couldn't afford to die here. Shan Huishi was filled with regret. He wished he hadn't come. He missed his mother now and would rather face his mother's bench than the Devouring Beast in front of him.

Limestone, hold on, hold on!

Xu Tong, standing to the side, screamed inwardly, "We absolutely cannot afford any problems at this time! There are only about ten of us here, and if a battle breaks out, there will inevitably be casualties."

The Devouring Beast had left, but no one dared to breathe a sigh of relief, because at this moment...

One dull thud after another came from above, each tremor a testament to its danger and its immense size.

A head with three pairs of red eyes protruded from the eaves, each pair of eyes scanning every inch of the place.

Whenever their gaze swept over him, Shan Shihui and the others couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end.

Shan Huishi was most afraid. With his back to the giant Devouring Beast, he could only vaguely feel the gaze sweeping over him from behind.

His breathing became rapid as a tentacle approached him. He couldn't see it, but he could feel the heat behind him.

The giant Devourer was strange. It could clearly feel the heat radiation from the tentacles extending from its mouth, but it could not see the life essence inside. It stretched its tentacles forward again, and the suction cups at the tips unexpectedly and accurately sucked on a warm, petite thing.

It lifted the thing up, wanting to stretch it back for a closer look.

"Help me, help me!" The limestone was sucked into the air, and he kept making breathy sounds as he shouted.

Xu Tong immediately ran over and grabbed Shan Shihui's hand. This was his friend's child, and he couldn't let him fail in front of him.

He pulled desperately, but the giant Devouring Beast's suction cups were like vacuum suction, and he couldn't separate them no matter what he did.

"Limestone, hold on tight to me, please don't do anything!" Xu Tong shouted in a breathy voice. He felt the limestone's grip loosening, and Jiang Ya behind him tightened her grip on his clothes.

Everyone was currently on the same communication channel, and Xu Tong's breath was very clear even in the silence.

Shandong panicked on the spot and immediately ran downstairs, kicking down the tools at his feet in his haste.

The tool fell through the gap between the towers, making a clanging sound against the metal support.

The giant Devouring Beast was immediately attracted by the noise. It turned around and saw that the sound was coming from the tower. It then put down the limestone and climbed in the direction of the tower.

Xu Tong grabbed the limestone and fell backward, landing right on the bumper car. The three people there breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, the giant Devouring Beast had arrived at the foot of the "Explorer" tower and happened to pass by the control room where Fang Yuan was located.

Fang Yuan stared at the Devouring Beast and whispered into the communicator, "The big guy has gone up."

Maido felt the tower shaking and became anxious, but she steadily welded the cables in the transformer with her laser welding gun.

At this moment, the giant Devourer had arrived behind Maido, and the light emitted by the laser welding gun attracted its attention.

Maido felt the heat behind her and became increasingly anxious.

Hurry, hurry!

The cable joints melted and then reformed.

"It worked!" Maido whispered in surprise.

At this point, the screen at the top of the tower displays a message: "Equipment check complete. Please authorize the system to begin the restart process."

Bai Yuekui acted decisively, drawing his knife and inserting it into the matching keyhole.

No, is this a key?

Lu Mingfei was stunned. He watched as Bai Yuekui pulled out her knife and inserted it into the machine, and then the program started running again.

So you can breathe a sigh of relief now.

Lu Mingfei's tense heart gradually relaxed; all he needed to do now was wait for the program to restart.

"Maiduo, come up quickly once the cable is fixed," Bai Yuekui said through the communicator.

All that could be heard was the shouting of "Chagai, Chagai".

Bai Yuekui frowned and tried calling out again, "Mai Duo?"

"What's going on down there?" Tasia also heard the shouts of "Chaga Chaga" coming from the intercom.

Lu Mingfei looked down and saw that Maiduo was picking something out of the nostril of the giant Devouring Beast. Then, a fledgling eagle was pulled out, which was Chagai.

Looking further into the distance, the Devouring Beasts that had been wandering aimlessly on the ground all turned to look in Maido's direction, where a bright light was shining in their eyes.

"Maido's Origin has been broken, all the Devouring Beasts will attack her!" Tasia shouted as she turned around.

"Mai Duo!" Lu Mingfei panicked, anxiously wondering what to do. Looking around, he discovered that the staircase in the middle of the tower led directly down.

"That so-called 'three-step forbidden zone,' you absolutely have to be useful!" Lu Mingfei prayed silently as he climbed down the stairs.

"ah--"

Maido was lifted into the air by the giant beak of the Devouring Beast. Just as the Devouring Beast opened its mouth to receive the falling food, it found that there was still nothing there after waiting for a while. Its three pairs of red eyes were all aimed at Lu Mingfei, who had just caught Maido in the air.

"Thank you!" Myodo gasped for breath.

"Come on up," Lu Mingfei said, pulling her up.

But the giant Devouring Beast had no intention of giving up and charged straight toward Lu Mingfei.

One step, two steps, getting closer and closer.

Lu Mingfei couldn't climb over it, and the Devouring Beast's giant beak kept poking at him.

No, I have a three-step restricted area! It's useless against it!

Feeling the aura of death behind him, Lu Mingfei felt a chill run down his spine.

Is this how it's going to end?

Just then, Maiduo grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand and pulled him up.

"Huff, huff, huff—" Lu Mingfei gasped for breath; he had almost died.

"Thank you... Mai... Mai Duo." Lu Mingfei hadn't recovered yet.

"It's nothing, I should be thanking you."

Maido had her back to him, clutching her arm. She had a minor abrasion, but she didn't notice that a drop of blood had landed on the eyelash she had torn off while working below.

The Devouring Beast continued its ascent.

Bai Yuekui shouted into the communicator, "Fang Yuan, let it taste what the Explorer has to offer."

Fang Yuan gripped the joystick of the Explorer and pulled it down.

The drop tower named "Explorer" plummeted down, crashing down on the giant Devouring Beast.

"Star Explorer, taking you on a journey through space!"

He slammed it down a second time.

"The vast universe is boundless!"

It struck a third time.

"Crossing the Milky Way, exceeding the speed of light!"

Fang Yuan maneuvered the Explorer and slammed it down for the fourth time.

The giant Devouring Beast was completely knocked unconscious by the high-speed impact of several tons of force from all sides.

"Yay!" Lu Mingfei was about to cheer, but then he noticed the atmosphere around him was off and fell silent again.

"Boss, I'm so sorry, I messed up." Mai Duo felt extremely guilty because her extreme worry had caused the destruction of the Returning Origin, making her feel that the current dangerous situation was all her fault.

"Alright, I know your family has always treated Chagai as family. Your spear isn't just for show. Go on, set a good example for the newlyweds," Bai Yuekui comforted them.

"Xia Dou, go help Mai Duo, I'll go down and deal with those ugly things." Bai Yuekui picked up his knife, ready to go down.

"But Dad said that if you keep fighting, your body will suffer irreversible cellular failure," Xia Dou said worriedly.

"Boss, the shielding tower needs time to activate. Only your genes can unlock the program. If anything happens to you before it resumes operation, we're all finished." Tasia pulled out a revolver. "I'll go help."

Bai Yuekui knew they were right, so she gave up the idea of ​​going down.

"What about me?" Lu Mingfei asked, not wanting to be a spectator who wins without lifting a finger.

"You... give him a gun. He's a very accurate shot, on par with Shattered Star," Bai Yuekui said.

Tasia raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised, then deftly tossed Lu Mingfei an assault rifle and made a covering gesture: "It's up to you."

Lu Mingfei nodded emphatically, gripping the cold gun barrel tightly. A long-forgotten feeling, mixed with fear and responsibility, welled up in his heart.

Maido had already gone down to confront the Devouring Beast.

With a flick of her wrist, the Six Harmonies Spear emerged from the sea like a silver dragon, its tip slicing through the stench of blood and carrying a piercing shriek as it swept fiercely towards the onrushing horde of Devouring Beasts!

First move: Sweep Across the Army!

The spear seemed to come alive in her hands, transforming into a deadly silver arc.

Wherever the gun barrels reached, they utterly destroyed everything in their path!

The Devouring Beast's tough shell was like paper in the face of absolute power, instantly severed in half by the immense force. Before the deep red blood could even splatter, its remaining body was violently blown away by the subsequent gust of wind from the gun.

Second move: Crimson Lotus Awakening!

Just as the old force was not yet exhausted and the new force had been generated, Maido pressed her thumb hard on the hidden compartment on the gun barrel!

"Click!"

A crisp click of the mechanism rang out, as if a sleeping beast had been suddenly awakened! The tip of the gun and the blade instantly emitted a bewitching blood-red light. It was not ordinary light, but countless violently leaping high-voltage electrical pulses! They were like coiled red snakes or blooming red lotuses, emitting a chilling "crackling" sound that ionized the surrounding air, giving it a scorching atmosphere.

Third move: Thunderous Strike!

An even larger Devouring Beast pounced upon them. Maido's eyes sharpened, she took a step forward, twisted her waist, and her spear changed from a sweeping motion to a thrusting motion, transforming into a streak of crimson lightning that shot straight out!

"Sizzle—Boom!"

The gun tip, wrapped with high-voltage electric pulses, sliced ​​through the hardest skull of the Devouring Beast with ease, like a hot knife cutting into butter.

Immediately afterwards, a violent burst of electrical energy erupted inside its skull! The monster didn't even have time to let out a wail before its massive body was blasted into countless charred fragments from the inside out, and then completely carbonized by the leaping arcs of electricity!

Maido held the butt of the spear with one hand, steadily bringing it to a stop. The red light at the spear tip gradually faded, leaving only wisps of smoke curling around it, highlighting her cold profile and the flying strands of her hair. Standing amidst the devastation, she resembled a crimson lotus war goddess descended to earth.

Lu Mingfei raised his gun and aimed it downwards, just in time to see Mai Duo displaying her prowess.

"Holy crap, is that Superman?"

Lu Mingfei stared in disbelief, released his gun, looked at his hand, and then at Mai Duo, who was still fighting below.

No, Mydo, are you sure you're teaching me something real?

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shan Shihui and Jiang Ya were driving bumper cars and fleeing wildly, with several Devouring Beasts hot on their heels.

"Lime, come here!" Shan Da raised his hammer and shield, striking down one Devouring Beast with each blow.

After Shan Shihui drove past, Shan Da finished dealing with the Devouring Beasts that were still following closely behind, and shouted, "Tasia!"

"They're here!"

Maiduo, riding the Devouring Beast controlled by Xiadou, threw out a disc. When the disc reached above Shan Shihui and Jiang Ya, Tasia appeared from above. She quickly grabbed the two children and appeared again.

Lu Mingfei watched as Tasia and the other two appeared beside him, next to the teleportation disc that Tasia had installed earlier.

"No, this is a real miracle!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed. If he didn't still have to shoot the Devouring Beasts below, he would have liked to clap his hands.

But there was no time to say more, as Tasia disappeared again.

"Shan Daxu Tong, prepare for spiritual induction, everyone is about to wake up!" Bai Yuekui sensed the movement below and stared intently at the progress of the program.

Below, the giant Devourer, which had been knocked unconscious by the Explorer, slowly awoke. It broke free from the Explorer and roared.

Tasia and Amur, who were right in front of them, were almost deafened by the deafening noise.

In an instant, the giant Devouring Beast had noticed them.

The chase began. Amur ran between the containers, dodging and weaving until he finally had nowhere to hide and fell onto one of the containers with a crack. His leg was broken, and at that moment, he was in a situation that was almost certain to die.

"Bang bang"

Just as the Devouring Beast was about to enjoy its meal, a few harmless bullets caught its attention.

It walked toward Tasia, who had just been shot.

Tasia could only retreat until she had nowhere left to go, leaning against the container behind her. She closed her eyes, almost resigned to her fate.

"Tasia!"

Tasia opened her eyes and saw Fang Yuan take out a rope gun and shoot it into the giant Devouring Beast's body, its entire body pulling backward with great force.

The Devouring Beast didn't care about any of that. With a flick of its tail, it sent Fang Yuan flying, landing right next to another Devouring Beast.

"Oh no!" Tasia exclaimed.

In excruciating pain, Fang Yuan was powerless to resist. The Devouring Beast plunged its pointed tail into Fang Yuan's body, shredding her internal organs.

Lu Mingfei fired his gun, knocking the Devouring Beast down just as it was about to absorb the life essence of the surrounding area.

"No, no, no!" Tasia picked up the disc and quickly ran over, teleporting Fang Yuan and herself to the tower.

"Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan!" Tasia cried out, her voice trembling with sobs. "Don't sleep, don't sleep, hold on!"

Lu Mingfei also rushed over to see what was happening. He knelt down beside her, regretting that he hadn't seen her shoot in time to save Fang Yuan.

"My... cough cough..." Fang Yuan coughed up blood.

"Tell me, tell me!" Tasia cried.

"My...child..." Fang Yuan, on the verge of death, struggled to raise his hand and touch his abdomen.

"What!" Tasia exclaimed in disbelief. "You're pregnant! If you're pregnant, go raise the child! What are you doing here?! What are you going to do with You Feng?!"

She lay on Fang Yuan's body and cried even harder.

Lu Mingfei was struck dumb, frozen in place, watching life rapidly drain from this mother's body, yet he could do nothing.

The shock of facing death head-on and being powerless to stop it is more terrifying than any Devouring Beast.

Her blood was still flowing, she was growing paler, and her breathing was slowly weakening.

This was the first time Lu Mingfei had ever seen someone he could see not long ago die right in front of him. The enormous shock kept stimulating Lu Mingfei's brain, but he was powerless to do anything about it. All he could do was lose his mind.

The giant Devouring Beast didn't understand any of this and continued to climb up the tower.

Bai Yuekui watched this scene with a complex expression, anxiously shouting, "Isn't the spiritual induction ready yet?!"

Xu Tong below was carrying a large spear, which was connected to Shan Da. The spirit-guided spear was constantly absorbing the spiritual energy stored in Shan Da's body.

Finally, the charge was complete! Xu Tong aimed at the sky and pulled the trigger!

call out--!

An energy sphere containing a high concentration of spiritual energy shot into the night sky, like bait.

Everyone held their breath and waited.

However, the giant Devouring Beast simply raised its head and let out an even more ferocious roar containing some special interference waveband!

boom!

The spirit-guided sphere in mid-air shattered instantly!

At the same time, the special sound waves swept across the entire venue.

The Devouring Beast controlled by Xia Dou instantly went out of control, suddenly standing upright and violently throwing Mai Duo on its back into the air.
