From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

The drivers on both sides of the triangular convoy formation instantly understood the Red Girl's intention in setting up this formation. They moved closer together, using the strength of their modified vehicles to crush the Snake Dog...

In just ten minutes, all of the nearly one hundred snake-dogs had lost their ability to fight.

Although only about twenty snake-dogs had their lower core destroyed and died completely, they gave the entire convoy a huge boost.

And what about the casualties?

Under the mental scan and magnetic field control of the Red Maiden, no one died. Even the Dust People sitting in the back of the open carriage were able to tackle the Devouring Beast with the simple suppression of the Devouring Beast by the Red Maiden's magnetic field. They turned the beast over, picked up shovels, hammers, short knives and other tools, and kept attacking the Devouring Beast's waist and abdomen, tearing away its flesh, digging out its internal organs, and taking out a core that looked like a ghostly ball.

With the crisis resolved, the heavy-duty vehicle returned to its original position.

The city's defense forces and their fellow civilians cheered wildly.

The hunters were overjoyed, praising Red Girl's strength, not only in her personal abilities but also in her first-rate command skills, which allowed her to almost have a complete grasp of the overall situation.

in contrast.

Their new Hunter Commander was unusually "silent" throughout the process, not uttering a single word. As a result, the Hunters in other vehicles and the Dust People who were also on the resource gathering mission were discussing the Shadow Captain in private.

Some veteran hunters even seemed to have deliberately forgotten to turn off their communications, spreading their mocking remarks about 4068 throughout the hunters' public communication channels.

"quiet!"

Having cultivated for so long, Hong Guniang's hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people. Her voice boomed like thunder in the minds of all the hunters and city defenders: "Check the equipment and supplies. Don't talk nonsense. In case another horde of Devouring Beasts suddenly appears!"

and also!

Whether it's the city's garrison, the hunters, or the dust people who have joined in, everyone must adhere to the strict standards of old-world soldiers when operating on the ground!

# Chapter 1163 Communication

Just as the Red Maiden was reprimanding the crowd who were mocking and ridiculing Suiying, she seemed to sense something and looked towards the canyon.

A huge blue light burst forth from the bottom of the canyon, with a long tail, and shot rapidly toward the other side of the canyon.

Then, as if drawn by the light, the Devouring Beasts, including the large mutated Devouring Beast, also chased after the light source, as if it were food that attracted them.

Many of the Dust People, Wilderness Hunters, and City Defense Army Reserves sitting in the carriages and on the roof saw the ball of glowing energy and were all astonished, not knowing what it was. Only some of the Wilderness Hunters who had gone to the Nirvana Research Institute with Mark said, "On the night Mark had his accident, we also saw a similar ball of light. At that time, many Devouring Beasts, including that Flower Calyx Beast, were drawn away by that ball of light."

"They are other survivors on the ground."

The girl in red said to everyone, "You all head to the designated return point of the lighthouse, I'll go check the situation."

After saying this, the girl in red activated her Qi through her nine orifices and eight meridians, and a cloud of mist seemed to float around her. Following the magnetic field and the airflow, she quickly flew towards the canyon.

The hunters and city guards who witnessed this scene were utterly astonished, unable to comprehend how a person could fly without wings or tools...

In terms of cultivation, Miss Hong has already designated her lungs and liver as her central organs. She also cultivates the Qi Source Flow taught by Jiang Liu, combines metal and wood, and has a good temperament. Naturally, she can use the cloud-riding technique created by Jiang Liu based on the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques. It's just that her speed is not as fast as his at the moment.

Even so, she covered dozens of kilometers in no time.

After landing.

Hong Guniang walked to a rock near the canyon and waited for nearly half an hour before six people came up pulling up a round ball about two meters in diameter, wrapped in a gray cloth.

"Boss Bai, someone's here! It's that woman!"

Mai Duo, with her sharp eyes, spotted the girl in red standing on the rock fifty meters away immediately and called out to Boss Bai.

"She didn't leave with the hunters?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Boss Bai's eyes.

Even if she went all out, she wouldn't be able to catch up with the hunter convoy in a short time... Or perhaps, this woman had a vehicle parked behind a nearby boulder and waiting for her to arrive?

"McDo!"

"understand!"

Without being told, Maido grabbed the eaglet perched on her shoulder and put a metal contraption, similar to a vest, on it. Then, the metal contraption unfolded and formed a propeller about forty or fifty centimeters long above the eaglet's head. As it spun at high speed, it carried the eaglet into the sky.

At that moment, Maido's eyes also changed, her pupils taking on a golden halo and revealing a sharp glint.

Hong Guniang noticed the young eagle above the other person's head that needed a mechanical spiral device to take flight, guessing that her special ability might be related to beast taming, but it felt different from the beast taming methods of Partridge Whistle, Old Foreigner, and Flower Spirit, and instead resembled the observation method of the Tang Sect—

In the hot pot restaurant run by Miss Liu, there is a member of the Tang Clan named Lu Huizhong. She is skilled in the art of observation, and one of the ways the Tang Clan uses this art is to share the field of vision with eagles and falcons that have been trained for many years, thus allowing them to observe the enemy's tracks from high altitude.

"Boss Bai, it's just her, there's no one else." Mai Duo's eyes returned to normal, and she quietly reported the situation to Boss Bai.

"How did she dodge the Devouring Beast just now? Is she also capable of returning to her original form?"

Shandong University was puzzled.

This is because "Returning to Origin" is the only way to avoid being discovered by the Devouring Beasts, and it is also a "technology" shared by their Dragonbone Village and the other three major settlements.

This is an ability that mobilizes the life-source energy within the body, gathers it at the center of the forehead, and then spreads it throughout the body, forming an energy layer on the surface of the body that isolates the life-source energy within the body.

During this process, the returnee needs to maintain emotional stability, because emotional fluctuations will generate willpower, which can actively cause fluctuations in the life source essence within the body, thereby breaking through the special protective membrane attached to the body surface by the source essence energy.

This method is simple; even a child can control the potential energy within their body as long as they can sense it during practice.

Although it is simple, the Guiyuan warriors in the four major settlements, including Dragonbone Village, have clear records, and it is impossible for anyone to pass on the method!

How did the other party gain control?

"Return to Origin?"

The girl in red, fifty meters away, twitched her ears and leaped to a position ten meters in front of the six people. Her powerful physical abilities made Shan Da and the others stare in astonishment.

You know, even their boss, Mr. Bai, has to be in a serious state to be able to leap such a distance, but this person seems to have just leaped lightly.

Could this be the source potential she has awakened?

Moreover, the other party seemed to have excellent hearing, as they could hear their hushed conversation from fifty meters away.

In addition, on the way here, Boss Bai and Mai Duo both said that she had already discovered their presence...

What exactly is this woman's potential?

Boss Bai's eyes narrowed slightly. He placed his hand on the sword at his waist and said leisurely, "A way to isolate one's own life essence is called Returning to Origin."

You probably can too, right?

"uncertain."

Seeing that the other party was willing to negotiate and seemed to be a cultivator as well, Hong Guniang felt that communication between them would be much easier. So, she used "Returning to Origin" as a starting point and asked, "Could you show it to me?"

"can."

Seeing that she seemed genuinely clueless, Boss Bai closed his eyes for a moment, and streams of life-source energy surged within him, instantly converging at the dantian between his eyebrows, and then instantly spreading out to cover his entire body, forming an invisible and intangible protective film attached to his skin.

After Boss Bai completed his return to the origin, Miss Hong was surprised, because in her perception, the other party's Qi seemed to have completely disappeared.

In terms of effectiveness alone, it is comparable to the cultivation of the Tang Sect's Dan Shi technique.

However, Hong Guniang could tell that this move was not difficult; any Qi cultivator could probably learn it, and it was completely different from the essence of Tang Clan's Dan Shi technique.

The Tang Clan's Dan Shi technique is merely a killing skill. When used, one's Qi and aura vanish for a moment, solely to create one or more Dan Shi that are difficult even for cultivators to detect.

This white-haired woman's method of concealing her own Qi was most likely developed and explored during her battles with the Devouring Beast. It aimed only at concealment, not at killing, and was easy to learn.

Sometimes, harsh environments are truly the best teachers for honing one's character and skills!

While secretly admiring it, the girl in red complimented, "It's a good method, but I didn't know how to do it before you demonstrated it. However, there is a similar method with similar effects to your 'Return to Origin,' but the conditions for achieving it are more stringent. We call it... Hunyuan."

This Hunyuan is not the Hunyuan Qi cultivated by Jiang Liu, but rather the Hunyuan Qi Method he created. This method is a natural breathing technique evolved from the two breaths of "Hum" and "Ha," involving Qi, sound, and vibration. Its main effect is to increase the connection between oneself and heaven and earth...

However, it can also allow the Qi to circulate only within the body for a short period of time, cutting off the connection with the outside world and achieving a closed state.

In this way, one's own Qi and aura can temporarily disappear into the outside world...

# Chapter 1164 Cooperation

"Hun Yuan?"

Boss Bai clearly understood this concept, and narrowed his eyes. "That is indeed quite different from our Guiyuan... Why are you staying?"

"We saw survivors on the ground... and we also saw a huge mass of life essence just now... so we came to take a look."

Red Girl truthfully replied, "By the way, I'd like to ask if you'd like to join the Lighthouse?"

"We're not going to join that pot lid!"

Udin immediately denied it, then swayed his hips and chuckled mockingly, "Upon reaching the lighthouse—"

Once you become a commoner, you have to work yourself to the bone. When you get old and can't work anymore, you'll be left to fend for yourself on the ground.

Even though they've become citizens, they can't fall in love. Are they supposed to be divided according to their genes and have to perform all the gymnastics moves in that Dawn Hall?

"You may be shameless, but we still have our pride!"

"that is!"

Naen and Udin, standing beside him, high-fived each other, their backs swaying, looking rather lewd.

Shan Da, Xia Dou, and Mai Duo were speechless at the two of them, but their words, though crude, were true. The people on that "big pot lid" didn't live like human beings, and they didn't want to live in such a place.

Faced with the mockery, Red Girl wasn't angry; instead, she showed a hint of confusion, because Udin and Naen's magnetic field fluctuated intensely while they were speaking...

This means that they were in high spirits, but they said what they meant, just watching—

He doesn't seem like a spiritual practitioner.

Only the white-haired woman they called "Boss Bai" remained relatively calm, her eyes revealing a sense of vicissitude and composure that only the years could cultivate.

This woman is definitely not as young as she looks!

Thinking of this, Miss Hong put aside her doubts, ignored the others, and focused only on Boss Bai, saying leisurely, "Your subordinates are quite humorous."

Mr. Bai did not answer.

Red Girl continued, "Leaving aside the rules of the lighthouse, as humans, we have only ever had one enemy: the Mana ecosystem."

Upon hearing this, Boss Bai was slightly surprised, seemingly not expecting that someone on the Lighthouse would think of this aspect. He nodded and said, "Indeed, our only enemy is the Mana ecosystem, and you... are not a native of the Lighthouse, are you?"

"No. I only came to the lighthouse two months ago, and by threatening to treat Charles, the lighthouse lord, with his scarlet disease, I temporarily gained status and power with my companions."

From Udin's words, Red Girl also learned about the situation of these ground survivors and had a considerable understanding of the lighthouse.

Or perhaps they observed the situation on the lighthouse through the special abilities of one of them.
