From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Agreed! But we need to know Mark's situation!"

"Once you pass the test, we will naturally not hide anything."

Upon hearing this...

Mo Chen and the other five exchanged glances. After shifting gears, they didn't step on the gas, and even had to control the brakes, slowly moving towards the open gate.

Five minutes later.

The Jumping Spider Integrated Terrain Exploration Vehicle was parked outside the gate.

The taciturn Amur stepped forward to search the group and, after confirming that the six people only had the clothes on their bodies and a heavy 3D machine, and no other weapons, they relaxed slightly and led them to the testing room for disinfection.

Nunn and Udin jumped into the driver's and passenger's seats of the Jumping Spider Terrain Exploration Vehicle and drove to a garage to wash off the mana spores that were stuck to it.

Half an hour later, as darkness fell, the five were led to the lookout tower.

Upon seeing Sui Xing, Mo Chen immediately asked, "Where is Mark?"

Shattered Star was prepared. He took out two photos from his waist. One photo showed Mark crawling on all fours, roaring at the sky like a wild beast. The other photo showed Mark with his back straight and his face much softer.

"Is this Mark?"

Mo Chen took the two photos and examined them carefully. "You cured Mark?"

"How much research have you done on the ecology of Mana?" Shattered Star asked.

“The Devouring Beasts can be killed. They have a core in their chest and abdomen area, which we call the Spirit Breath Seed,” Feixue said first.

As the Red Girl said, humanity's only enemy is the mana ecosystem.

Therefore.

Even though the specifics of the faction that saved Mark are still unclear, there is no need for a reason to share information about the weaknesses of the Devouring Beasts.

"That's quite a coincidence. We also named the core of the Devouring Beast the Spirit Breath Seed," Po Kong said with a chuckle.

Shattered Star asked again, "Do you know why the Devouring Beasts dare not approach this place?"

Kun Jie replied, "Perhaps you simulated the biomagnetic field of a higher-level Devouring Beast."

"It seems that the Red Maiden has told you a lot." Suixing directly revealed the existence of the Red Maiden.

"Do you know Captain Red and his group?"

Erica was surprised.

"Them? It doesn't look like it's one person."

This sentence made Erica's expression change, realizing that she had spoken out of turn.

Sui Xing continued, "I have never met Hong Gu Niang, but our Boss Bai met her about half a year ago. He seemed to have met her at Jianhui Grand Canyon, which is the W-38 resource collection point defined by your Lighthouse, and said that he wanted to cooperate in the future."

"Then why haven't you contacted the Lighthouse in the past six months?" Mo Chen asked, puzzled.

"First, we don't like the Three Laws of the Lighthouse. So the condition for cooperation is that she can change the Three Laws."

Sui Xing explained the reason: "This is the most basic thing. Otherwise, there's no point in talking about cooperation. It's better if we just keep to ourselves."

"And the second point?"

Kunjie inquired.

“She needs to return the armor that the previous lord of the Lighthouse City stole from our Boss Bai.” When he said this, Sui Xing’s expression was extremely serious.

"Armor? What armor?" Kun Jie pressed, but he already had an answer in his heart—

Those who stand on the edge of the abyss!

The Lighthouse had once conducted the Abyss Watcher Project, which the younger generation of hunters were unaware of, but he had heard of it...

"That's armor made using ecological products and old-world technology, and it's called the Abyss Bearer," Shattered Star didn't hide it.

"The One Who Stands on the Edge?!"

Feixue and Mochen are Mark's subordinates. They have also heard that Lighthouse once launched the Abyss Project, but the specifics are unclear.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an armor made using Mana ecological products and old-world technology, which Lord Morgan had stolen from this force!

"Returning the item to its rightful owner is only right and proper."

After saying that, Shattered Star asked, "So, now we need to talk about something important: are you messengers sent by the Wilderness Hunters to discuss the ownership of Mark with us?"

If so, then we'll go to Longgu Village with the rest of us tomorrow to ask about his wishes.

Dragonbone Village will not force you to stay or leave; it's up to you.

Can I ask you a question?

Seeing the slightly silent atmosphere, Wu Dongxi asked, "Why did you save Captain Mark?"

At this point, fearing that the four teachers would misunderstand him, he quickly added, "I'm not saying that Captain Mark shouldn't have been saved, but he's a Devouring Beast now, right? You should have attacked him the moment you spotted him, shouldn't you?"

Chapter 1209 One Day Ago—We're in a Dilemma, You're Embarrassed

"He is an ecological chimera."

Seeing that Mo Chen and the other "upper-class citizens" did not have any objection to Wu Dongxi, a "commoner," interrupting, and that the identity tag of this "commoner" even had the three words "Wu Dongxi" engraved on it, Sui Xing paid a little attention before answering his question, "It specifically involves the question I asked you before about how much you know about the Mana ecosystem, but I will keep it short."

The Mana ecosystem on this continent is in a stage of evolution, and more than half a year ago, the Lighthouse sent so many hunters to Nirvana to collect medicine, but the Flower Calyx Beasts stole a large amount of their life essence, indirectly promoting this evolutionary process...

Mo Chen and Kun Jie exchanged glances, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes, but neither believed that Sui Xing was lying.

After all, the Brute Beasts they encountered on the way here were different from those on the other continent. Not only did their tails mimic the shape of a human hand, but they could also make sounds similar to human cries for help!

"Damn it! We should have convinced Captain Mark not to go get the medicine for the old city lord!"

Mo Chen complained, "According to the life formula, the old city lord was no longer needed for rescue! He should have even gone on a long journey with Instructor Elon!"

“If Mark didn’t do that, he wouldn’t be Mark.” Feixue said helplessly, but she also knew that this was the charm of Captain Mark.

And the charm of shadows—

She can't see much right now.

A commander who wins over loyal followers by contributing points might find most people willing to follow him unless their own safety is at stake, and they might even choose to rescue him if his shadow is in danger.

However, if he were to experience the same ordeal as Mark, it is highly unlikely that any hunter would be willing to follow him to live on the surface.

"Too."

Mo Chen nodded seriously.

Seeing the two of them like this, Sui Xing secretly confirmed their true nature in her heart and further solidified her judgment of them:

Trustworthy!

"and then?"

Kunjie, however, continued to inquire about the connection between Mana Ecology and Mark.

"When the Mana ecosystem begins to evolve, it will produce a bloody vortex image. At that time, a large number of Devouring Beasts will gather to transfer life essence, thereby guiding the Mana ecosystem of the entire continent to begin a new round of evolution."

Shattered Star wasn't afraid that they would send this message back to the Lighthouse. "Through the Blood Vortex, we can enter the underground network of the Mana ecosystem, another space, and completely destroy the foundation of the Mana ecosystem. This continent, and even the global Mana ecosystem, can be resolved."

Our boss once went there with an old friend, but the radiation penetrated her entire protective gear, causing irreversible damage to her genes. Upon returning, she had completely lost all memories of that space…

It is likely that only an ecological chimera can go there.

and so.

Mark is the hope of all mankind.

Mo Chen, Fei Xue, and Erica were dumbfounded.

Wu Dongxi's eyes widened, and she murmured, "So Mark is the savior who will save the world!"

But Kun Jie frowned, and Wu Chenxi also noticed the problem: "Since Captain Mark is so important, why did you say before that you would really let him leave if he wanted to?"

"Because he won't go back to the lighthouse."

Faced with this answer, Kun Jie and Wu Chenxi were speechless. Although Vice Captain Ran Bing's life essence was absorbed by Mark, it was actually Lighthouse and Charles who caused it. Now that she has been rescued by the people of Dragon Bone Village, how could she possibly go back?

"Alright, for more specific details, you can ask Mark in the village tomorrow. Now, I have one more question for you: Do you need to contact the other members of the Hunters?"

Suixing asked her the most crucial question at the moment.

"The contact... is lost! That bastard!"

Kun Jie tried to contact the other members of the Hunters, but found he couldn't reach them. He cursed under his breath, "He's very likely to launch a night raid."

"Would Suiying do that?"

Although Wu Dongxi and Sui Ying's relationship had grown distant over the past six months, Wu Dongxi was still willing to speak up for his childhood friend.

Kun Jie did not answer this question, but said to Sui Xing: "His mission this time is to bring Mark back. Otherwise, it's a small matter if the other citizens of the Lighthouse have opinions about him, but it's a big deal if Charles is dissatisfied with him."

That kid has a ruthless streak and is eager for quick success; a night raid is highly likely.

Shattered Star didn't give a clear answer, but only asked, "If they really take action, which side will you help? Us, Mark's new friends? Or your teammates this time?"

"I--"

Kun Jie was speechless for the first time.

Mo Chen, Fei Xue, and Erica were also at a loss.

Wu Chenxi paused for a moment, then said, "I will persuade 4068."

"Why?"

Shattered Star was in high spirits.

"Because we're friends who grew up with him!" Wu Dongxi's eyes were firm.

"is it?"

Sui Xing nodded, but pointed to the collars around their necks and the collars on the arms and thighs of the other four people, and chuckled, "Your friend put these things on you?"

"This is···"

Wu Dongxi wanted to say that this was done by the Light and Shadow Society to forcibly threaten Captain Red, but there should be a button on that remote control to unlock it, right?

Theoretically, it's possible to help them solve the problem first.

I'll wear it when I get back, just to look good at the light and shadow show.
