From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Mark frowned.

“I’m going to deal with that big guy. We can’t let it get close to this area, otherwise just one roar from it will paralyze the entire shielding tower, and all our previous efforts will be wasted.”

Bai Yuekui shouted into the communication channel, "The rest of you hold off the other smaller invasive species for three minutes!"

That's all.

Holding her long sword, she took a step, leaving a white trail in the air, and leaped onto the back of the two-jawed beast, piercing its right eye with a single blow.

Diplatinum.

As its name suggests, it has two faces. The first face, resembling a skull, is located in the nose area of ​​the second face. The second face is the true face of the Dipladenia, with an extremely large mouth, similar to that of a crocodile.

Its eyeball was pierced by Bai Yuekui's attack. It suddenly opened its main jaw and let out a roar. The sound waves rolled, and even though they were not directed at the amusement park, they still made Mark and the others feel a little tinnitus.

At that very moment, another group of pan-evolving Devourer Beasts, different from the Spiny Eel, arrived.

"It's Earth Roar!"

Chapter 1187 Earth Roar

The Earth Roar is also one of the pan-evolving Devouring Beasts. Unlike the streamlined body of the Spiked Eel, it has a strong body, two pairs of horns on its head, and a pair of large horns on its cheeks. It has a vocal sac in its throat, which can convert source energy into high-frequency sound wave pulses for long-range attacks.

That is, it releases a red energy wave with extremely strong power, capable of overturning the Hunter's armored vehicle and directly damaging the human nervous system.

The roaring creatures leaped onto the buildings surrounding the amusement park, their vocal sacs contracting and expanding in their throats, while small hands on their sides continuously stroked the vocal sacs, emitting a dark red glow.

Bang!

As the first energy wave shot out, the second, the third, the fourth... in the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred energy waves shot towards the Awakened Ones and Returning Warriors in the amusement park.

Damn it!

This mission was simply to replace the plasma rings and myelin crystals, and incidentally clean up mana spores and eye tumors; they didn't bring many lethal weapons.

Tasia had to stay atop the shielding tower to protect Shan Shihui and Jiang Ya, making it impossible for her to participate in the battle any further...

Fang Yuan and a nearby Guiyuan warrior were utterly exhausted after a fierce battle...

Maido excelled in close combat, but against these ranged beasts capable of ranged attacks, her nearly four-meter-long spear was still too short. Furthermore, due to the previous battle, her stamina was severely depleted, and without fully opening her Ren and Du meridians, she couldn't recover through meditation. She could only ride on the spiked eel controlled by Maido, preparing to reunite with Mark…

Mark's strength was greater than that of a normal human, but when faced with the Earth Roar, which had ranged attack capabilities, a look of anxiety appeared in his eyes. If he were the commander of the Wilderness Hunters, all he would need to do was buy time for the team to escape, and could fight and retreat at the same time, engaging in guerrilla warfare.

But now they have to hold onto the drop tower behind them, unable to leave for even an inch!

If it were to deal with a melee-type, bio-evolving Devourer, even an elite-level one that is over ten meters long, Mark would dare to charge in.

This type of attack can be countered—

Lacking long-range attack weapons, we can only improvise!

boom!

An energy wave shot out and struck the head of the spiky eel.

"Cough cough!"

During the period when the spiny eel was being controlled by Xia Dou, the life essence between the two was in a state of coordinated resonance. The spiny eel was impacted by high-frequency sound wave pulses, which also caused the life essence in Xia Dou's body to become disordered, causing her to cough up blood.

As the spiky eel staggered and fell to the ground, the momentum sent Maido flying behind her. Maido quickly regained her balance, thrust her spear into the ground, landed steadily, and caught her breath. Just as she looked up, she saw the second shockwave coming.

But Maido used the gun barrel as the center, moving from the left side of the barrel to the right side, narrowly avoiding the energy wave.

Once, twice, three times...

With the potential to share vision with eagles, Maido narrowly dodges waves of energy, much like she's performing a pole dance.

When facing an energy wave, hiding inside a building is not an option, as the building will collapse; running on the ground is also not an option, as it is too passive; the best option is to use the gun barrel that is stuck upside down in the open ground as a center, moving left and right and sliding up and down, to avoid the impact with minimal effort, just like Maido.

However, Maido's physical strength had already been largely depleted in the previous battle with the swarm of eels, and now, with the high-intensity use of her potential, her spiritual energy was being consumed even more, and her breathing became increasingly rapid.

It was at this moment.

Because of the backlash from Xia Dou, the spiny eel shook its head, regained its senses, opened its mouth, and spat out a bone spur.

Bone spurs are silent and move extremely fast.

After dodging the last energy wave from the nearby Earth Roar, Maido deactivated her potential while they were charging up in order to conserve her strength.

Chi-

The bone spur struck Maido precisely in the waist, and the impact propelled her into a nearby carousel.

"what!"

Maido's screams rang out over the communication channel.

"McDo!"

Tasia was extremely anxious and sent a message to Xu Tong and Shan Da, "Is the spiritual induction not finished yet?"

"immediately!"

Xu Tong roared, pointed the energy weapon at the sky, and pulled the trigger!

boom!

A ball of energy, nearly twenty meters in diameter, shot out of the amusement park.

All the Devouring Beasts swarmed after it.

But the spiky eel stopped. Its tentacles on both sides of its head danced without wind, shaking its head and emitting a special biomagnetic field. It connected with the bone spur that had pierced Maido's waist and was constantly drawing on Maido's life essence.

"stop!"

Mark roared, took a step forward, bent down, and swung his arm, sending the greatsword flying from his hand. It struck the eel's head precisely, severing it completely.

"Maido, are you alright?"

Mark arrived a step later, kicked the headless spiky eel aside, and ran to Maido, intending to help her off the carousel. However, lacking rescue knowledge and fearing that moving her would worsen her injuries, he called out to the others, "Is anyone free? Maido is injured! It seems that her life essence has been partially absorbed by that spiky eel! How can we help her?"

hum-

At this moment, the shielding tower finally restarted, and the corresponding biomagnetic field spread outward, causing some of the Devouring Beasts that were still outside the amusement park to retreat.

Bai Yuekui had already killed the two-jawed beast and returned to the amusement park. He rushed to Mai Duo's side and saw that she was pale and her brows were furrowed.

Tasia, Shanda, Xu Tong, Fang Yuan, and others arrived, some exhausted and some seriously injured.

Fang Yuan's arm was shattered, but he was still alive. Seeing Mai Duo in such a terrible state, he endured the pain and encouraged her, "Mai Duo, hang in there. Come back to the village with us. As long as you pull through, Lao Xia will definitely be able to save you."

"It seems that nearly half of Maido's life essence was devoured by the spiny eel..."

Xu Tong stated a fact.

Life essence is fundamental to all life activities. Losing a portion is manageable, but losing nearly half, coupled with such severe injuries, means that even Old Xia, let alone Boss Jiang, might not be able to save her. Furthermore, this place is quite far from the Dragon Bone Village residential area; perhaps on the way back, Mai Duo's mind will cease to function. And once a person dies, life essence dissipates rapidly...

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Shan Da shouted angrily.

"My fault! My fault!" Xu Tong apologized immediately, carefully cutting off both ends of the bone spur, and laid Mai Duo flat on the ground, comforting her, "Mai Duo, you must hold on, we will definitely take you home!"

"mark···"

Knowing her physical condition, Maido reached out to Mark, "I'm afraid I won't make it home. Please take... take my life essence and take me... take me home, please."

"No! No way!"

Mark refused and asked Bai Yuekui, "You must have a way to save her, right?"

"Feel sorry--"

Chapter 1188 Maiduo Returns Home

A simple "I'm sorry".

Mark's illusions were shattered.

"With nearly half of her vital essence lost, there was nothing that Xia Tianlai could do to treat her. Moreover, Maiduo's kidneys, liver, and intestines had already been punctured and torn apart, and there was no way to save her."

After examining Mai Duo's body, Bai Yuekui's expression turned grave. He slowly rose, took a breath, and said to Mark, "The thorn eel will absorb the life essence of anyone hit by its bone spikes immediately..."

Currently, Mado's body is still being eroded by the venom of the spiny eel, in order to reduce her pain—

Mark, absorb her life essence into your spiritual seed.

This moment.

Everyone lowered their heads, unable to look directly at the scene.

Mark closed his eyes, but he could still hear Madonna's plea to "take me home." He had no choice but to open his eyes, look at Madonna, and extend his palm to her.

As the scarlet pigment dissipated from Mark's body, streaks of blue light appeared on Maido's body, slowly entering Mark's palm and flowing along his meridians into the Spirit Seed.

The colors of Maido's body slowly faded, eventually turning into a gray-black sculpture, but at the last moment, a faint smile appeared on her lips, frozen in time.

"Waaah! Mydo!"

Xia Dou could no longer hold back, tears welling in her eyes, and she cried out.

Bai Yuekui sighed, glanced at Mark whose expression had once again darkened, walked to the headless spiky eel, cut open its abdomen, took out the spirit seed, and handed it to Mark, saying, "The life essence within the spirit seed will slowly dissipate, especially when it exists within the spirit seed of a dead Devouring Beast, it will dissipate even faster."

Absorb the life essence of Maido within you into your spiritual seed. Since you wear the golden headband, the spiritual seed is also affected, and the life essence entering it will not dissipate.

"That's right!"

Mark took the Spirit Seed, but suddenly thought of something and asked Bai Yuekui, "If I meet your standards and Boss Jiang's standards, can Maiduo be resurrected along with Ran Bing?"

“That’s true in theory, but how long it will take you to reach the standard is unknown.” Bai Yuekui stared at Mark.

"I will work hard."

After absorbing half of Maido's life essence from the Spirit Seed into his own Spirit Seed, Mark solemnly assured Bai Yuekui.

"Yes, I believe you, but—"

Bai Yuekui then changed the subject, "Just as Boss Jiang said, your food, clothing, and lodging can no longer be charged to my account."

"I know, I'll earn the money myself."

Mark nodded vigorously, picked up Maido's flesh and dirt, wanting to take it back, but was stopped by Bai Yuekui.

"why?"

"In the culture of Dragon Bone Village, Flesh Soil is a monument left behind by the Awakened after their defeat, and a testament to the Awakened's struggle against the Mana ecosystem."
