From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Get out of this area immediately!"

"Activate the triple-action system! Protect the vehicle!"

"That's not a human! It's a Beast with a Burrow!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the arm that had extended from the ground swayed and stretched out, startling the hunter into immediately retreating to rejoin the other two team members.

Click!

The ruins were pushed aside, and a beast resembling a giant salamander with six limbs and pale green bumps on its back emerged, shaking its head as if trying to pinpoint the hunter's location.

He really is a pig-carrying beast!

But the hunters who went to investigate, having been reminded by Kun Jie, had already run back to their vehicles.

Erica, Flying Snow, and Dawn Dance, along with a new batch of hunters, donned their respective heavy armor suits and positioned themselves to protect the convoy on both sides.

As the convoy restarted, a roar filled the air, and from the surrounding ruins emerged numerous small beasts carrying their young. They chased and pounced on the convoy, using their human-hand-like tails to grab the young beasts from their backs and hurling them at the convoy.

Erica, dressed in the MU-2 Heavy Armor Defense suit, stood on a Hunter vehicle, holding a retractable riot shield about two meters high in one hand, swatting away the attacking beasts, and wielding a double-barreled Gatling gun in the other, spitting out tongues of fire. With hundreds of bullets flying, dozens of beasts fell.

Feixue, dressed in the MU-2 Heavy Sniper Suit, surveyed the surrounding ruins and noticed a bridge above their direction. She aimed the sniper cannon from the Heavy Sniper Suit at its only supporting pillar and transmitted the message: "Speed ​​up!"

boom!

The moment she finished speaking, she fired a shot. The concentrated shell instantly pierced through the bridge pillar in front of her, revealing a hole about half a meter in diameter.

Seeing this through the car window, Sui Ying instantly realized Fei Xue's purpose. He steeled his heart and ordered, "Full speed ahead!"

Feixue estimated the speed of the convoy's advance and the speed at which the bridge would fall, and after advancing twenty meters, she pulled the trigger a second time.

boom!

The deafening roar echoed through the air.

The sole pillar, already pierced, shattered and bent instantly, causing the suspended bridge above to collapse with a deafening roar. As it fell, the flying debris struck the rear of the last vehicle in the convoy, sending chills down the spine of the driver, the hunter, who broke out in a cold sweat…

Chapter 1204 One Day Ago - King Level?

But then a loud "boom" was heard—

The bridge collapsed! Smoke filled the sky!

This caused the caravan to fall far behind the swarm of Necrobeasts that were following closely behind.

"Alright, as long as there's nothing blocking our way, they can't catch up anymore. The only thing we need to deal with right now is the lone Beast Bearer."

Feixue aimed her sniper cannon at a charging Beast and pulled the trigger. The bullet, carrying powerful kinetic energy, pierced through the Beast and shattered it into pieces.

With such power, it could kill a Devouring Beast even without aiming at its abdomen.

But after firing only one shot, Feixue put the sniper cannon back on her back and, relying on the magnetic system of the gravity-based 3D system, picked up the matching high-capacity shotgun instead.

Without him.

Sniper ammunition is limited and needs to be used in critical moments, so it must be conserved whenever possible.

at this time.

A white heavy machine flipped 360 degrees in the air, crushed the head of a lemur with one foot, and then punched down, piercing through its spine and down to its waist and abdomen. It then grabbed a spherical object and squeezed it hard.

click!

As the Spirit Seed shattered, the beast carrying the offspring, along with the offspring on its back, all transformed into Breath Soil, returning to the earth, leaving only a hard skeleton.

"Well done."

Feixue praised.

"After all, my master would take me with him every time he led the city defense army squad to train on the ground."

no doubt.

The wearer of this heavy 3D device is Wu Chenxi.

Kun Jie and the others once thought that Hong Guniang wasn't giving her special training, but what was the truth? Every time Hong Guniang led her team into battle, she would bring Wu Chenxi along—

This is the biggest special treat!

In addition, the heavy 3D-Dawn on Wu Chenxi's body is different from the regular MU-2 heavy 3D of the Hunter. It is more slender and simple, looking like a streamlined armor on a human body, unlike the bulky MU-2 heavy 3D.

However, it would be a big mistake to think that this Dawn is lighter and less defensive than the MU-2 heavy hull.

The Dawn was designed and assembled by Wu Chenxi herself, and the material was not ordinary heavy-duty high-carbon steel, but a special metal infused with the bones of the Devouring Beast.

The bones of the Devouring Beast are extremely tough, but when ground into powder and smelted with carbon, iron, chromium, and molybdenum, the arrangement of the metallic elements can be altered to obtain a steel with extremely high density.

It was named Extreme Steel by the Red Girl.

This special type of steel can transmit Qi, which is the energy of life essence, without any hindrance. And with the life essence flowing through it, the wearer feels as if they are only wearing a piece of clothing weighing about two or three pounds, without affecting their movement at all.

According to Hong Guniang, the steel fused with the bones of the Devouring Beast is the prototype of a magical artifact. Even if one does not know how to refine artifacts, one can easily transform them into objects simply by nurturing them with Qi. Furthermore, the atomic arrangement structure within the artifact will be affected by the user's Qi circulation in a short period of time, thus spontaneously connecting to form corresponding patterns to match the user's special abilities, thereby achieving a natural artifact refining process.

in short.

The Devouring Beasts are a disaster for humanity in this world, but if humanity can control the use of life essence, then they can also be a resource for humanity to carry out the next stage of "evolution".

The Dawn is made of polar steel, which looks "thin" but is actually as heavy as the MU-2 heavy 3D. However, because it can spontaneously cooperate with the Qi circulation system, when worn by Wu Chenxi, it can greatly enhance her physical functions and physical qualities, while also making her long scorpion tail braid a powerful weapon.

After she destroyed a scorpion beast, she leaped into the air, twisted her waist, and transmitted the force through her spine and hair. The whip wrapped around her scorpion tail behind her head cracked the air, instantly shattering the scorpion beast that pounced on her into pieces, and drawing out wisps of blue-white energy from the Devouring Beast.

After completing the circulation of Qi throughout the body, Wu Chenxi's innate abilities were fully awakened.

Just as the girl in red had imagined, it was indeed related to her brain, affecting the mutation of nerve cells in her cerebral cortex, making each of her hairs a bridge connecting her to the outside world, capable of sensing the most subtle changes in the air.

Airflow and magnetic field.

She can sense any change.

In other words, if one practices the timing and method of fire according to the four seasons and six qi, one will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

For this reason, every hair of hers can be considered an extension of the cells in her cerebral cortex. Combined with the set of Dawn-class magical artifacts on her body, which are similar to those that have been initially refined, she can extract the life essence from the bodies of the Devouring Beasts while killing them, in order to make up for the consumption of her own supernatural power.

therefore.

Ten minutes after the convoy escaped the pursuit of the Necromancers, the lone Necromancers and their offspring were finally wiped out with the help of Wu Chenxi, Fei Xue, Erica, and the other new and old hunters dressed in heavy armor.

But the group of scavengers that had been held back by the collapsed bridge caught up again, causing Feixue to frown. She took off the heavy sniper cannon from her back, aimed at the rear, and cursed, "This is never going to end!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, Feixue felt the sky darken—

The convoy, led by Suiying, drove into a narrow tunnel!

"Suiying, how did you lead the way?"

Kun Jie's expression changed, and he cursed into the communication device, "Narrow passages are not suitable for our combat! If there's no way forward, we'll be trapped like turtles in a jar by the Beasts!"

"Don't worry, there's always a way forward. The robot I found in Nirvana last time, Jianjian, has a navigation system from the old world."

Suiying was slightly displeased with Kunjie's reprimand, but she didn't want to argue with him at this time, so she patiently explained.

Kun Jie was about to curse a few more times when he heard Erica's message: "Kun Jie, and everyone else, something's wrong. The Possession Beast is stopped at the tunnel entrance, and it seems afraid to come in!"

"Afraid to come in?"

Kun Jie was stunned for a moment, a bead of cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He exclaimed, "The hierarchy among Devouring Beasts is so clear that even the Genesis-type Bear-Beasts dare not approach... It seems that there is a Devouring Beast in the direction we are heading, whose level is very likely above the Metamorphosis type!"

"King-level!"

In a single thought.

All the hunters had figured out the answer.

"This also explains why the Poisonous Beasts on this continent mimic human cries for help!"

Mo Chen's eyes were extremely focused as he transmitted a message through the communication channel: "The tails of the Bear-Beasts on another continent don't look like human hands... Only in the activity areas of King-level Devouring Beasts will low-level Devouring Beasts exhibit intelligence similar to humans!"

Moreover, the harpy beasts on this continent are still evolving; they have not only learned to mimic human intelligence but have also learned to exploit human compassion to hunt!

Even knowing that the area they were heading towards likely contained a king-level Devouring Beast, the convoy could not turn back.

The Necromancer is blocking the tunnel entrance.

Turning back would mean facing hundreds or even thousands of Beastmen head-on, a certain death. Therefore, even if they found Mark later, they would have to find another route to avoid him...

Chapter 1205 One Day Ago - Kunjie's Analysis

"Everyone, don't be nervous."

Seeing the silence, Suiying adopted the air of a captain, "This further proves that the direction we have chosen is correct! Mark exists in the core area of ​​the ecological cluster!"

Implication:

Mark is an eco-chimera, but also a Devourer. Due to its unique nature, its ecological niche may be very high in the Mana ecosystem, which makes it impossible for other Devourers to approach it.

However, Kun Jie persisted, continuing to question Sui Ying: "How exactly did you determine Mark's location?"

Upon hearing this, Suiying became more certain of her guess—Kunjie and the others wanted to kill Mark and free him!

But he had no choice but to answer, so he said, "As I said before, I'll rely on Jianjian."

"Explain the specific principles. The technology of the old world is indeed much more advanced than what the Lighthouse currently retains, but it is absolutely impossible to locate it without any Mark clues!" Kun Jie pressed.

“That’s right. I’ve read books about navigation from the old world. Real-time positioning requires satellite connectivity and a network. But with the ecological explosion happening so long ago, satellites in space should have long since stopped functioning and couldn’t possibly maintain real-time communication with that little robot.” Mo Chen also offered his opinion, even questioning whether continuing to let Suiying navigate like this would be feasible.

Let's put finding Mark aside for now; we might have to face a King-level Devouring Beast directly!

Listening to the two men's reasoned explanations, Sui Ying was somewhat shaken and didn't quite believe Jianjian's judgment. However, Charles was pressing him hard, so he had no choice but to try anything. Moreover, the questioning from Kun Jie and Mo Chen made him, as the commander, lose face. So he said, "That night in Nirvana, when I repaired Jianjian, he scanned Mark's body and confirmed that his chromosomes had abnormal telomeres. He recorded his data, which is why we were able to locate him."

Even so, Kun Jie, Mo Chen, Fei Xue, and Erica still had their brows furrowed.

What kind of response is this?

Even if Jianjian recorded Mark's data, how can Mark's exact location be determined without precise satellite positioning?

Moreover, the ability to precisely locate individuals based on scanned genetic data...

Was the technology of the old world really that advanced?

We don't need to install anything like a locator on Mark?

It's like they've completely shattered their previous scientific beliefs!

Although the emergence of "Qi Refining," a technology that can help humans control the life essence, did indeed change their thinking to some extent, Jianjian is just a robot! A product of the extinct old world technology! And he doesn't know how to control the life essence!
