Everyone was immediately shocked.

I couldn't accept this for a while.

Although the reason sounded very far-fetched, in everyone's eyes it became another demonstration of Lin Yuan's meticulousness.

Unexpectedly, he was able to find clues about human settlements through these few clues.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan seemed much more reliable to them.

"It is said that although cloning technology existed in the old days, it was an unethical thing."

On this point, Old Dustman 0609 expressed some concern:

"How utterly depraved must it be to conduct experiments on clones? Such a human settlement is probably not a good place."

He was already hesitant to go.

What if going there is worse than being a dust dweller in the lighthouse, or even being used as food?

Lin Yuan's heart stirred.

Such concerns are not unfounded when one does not know the other party well.

Even when facing other human forces, Dragonbone Village maintains the same cautious attitude.

"If there is danger, you should not act. I can go alone."

Ran Bing's eyes were resolute: "Since they know something about Mark's situation, I'm going to brave any danger, no matter what."

As she spoke, she subconsciously tightened her grip on the joystick, somewhat nervous.

It seems they have already envisioned the dangers that might arise when encountering human settlements.

"I have to say, the feelings that Lieutenant Ran Bing has for Captain Mark are truly enviable."

Old Dustman 0609 suddenly sighed, as if recalling some old stories.

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

He suggested bringing Mark Beast along.

Besides being key to the plan to conquer the Blood, another reason was to better integrate into Dragonbone Village, gain favor with Bai Yuekui's team, and obtain a certain degree of influence and status there.

You can also acquire Dragonbone Village's equipment and technology more quickly.

Moreover, Markmon has a unique characteristic: it can be recognized as one of the same kind by Devouring Beasts.

With the Sharingan, it can be a great help when you need to fight or explore.

Moreover, the reason they dared to go to Dragonbone Village without hesitation was because they knew the situation there.

Ran Bing took Mark to the ground to find human settlements; that was purely a reckless and desperate act.

The transport vehicle drove in the direction Jianjian had indicated.

.........

Half a day later, on the other side.

Bai Yuekui's team parked their vehicle in an open space.

"Boss, didn't Master Lai tell us to wait at Cuojie Canyon? Why did he suddenly come here?"

"Have you finally figured it out?"

The burly, fat man from Shandong took a bite of his dry rations and asked a question as he chewed.

Although he didn't know that Master Lai had gotten drunk again, Boss Bai had already made up his mind, so even if they were unwilling, they had no choice but to go.

At this time, the Cuojie Canyon was full of Devouring Beasts that had absorbed the life essence and were going there to pay their rent.

If they find us there, we probably won't be able to get out.

If Boss Bai changes his mind and doesn't go, they would actually think it's a good thing.

Bai Yuekui's expression remained calm: "The situation has changed. Mark won't go to Wrong Street Canyon anymore. We need to look for other clues."

The group looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.

"But that big pot lid up there is floating around in the sky, how are we going to find it?"

"No, we already have a lead."

Suddenly, Sui Xing, who had the best eyesight, spoke up and looked towards a spot on the right.

She seems to have discovered something.

On the open ground, there were the two words "Mark" written on it, seemingly a mark deliberately made by using a hard object to draw on the ground.

And at regular intervals, there is a "人" (human) character marker there to indicate the direction.

"It seems he left it behind."

Bai Yuekui's eyes flickered slightly, and the image of Lin Yuan suddenly appeared in his mind.

Chapter 51 Finding a Temporary Base, Kinetic Enhancement

Lin Yuan and the others headed towards the core ecological area.

There were piles of fleshy dirt everywhere along the way.

The more they saw these scenes, the more hopeless it seemed for them to find a human settlement.

This feeling is like that of a desperate traveler in the desert, not knowing when they will be able to escape their predicament.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan casually killed a few snakes and dogs, which boosted morale.

With his current strength.

These lowest-level pan-evolving Devourer Beasts in the Mana ecosystem are not insurmountable as long as they do not appear on a large scale.

Lin Yuan's impressive performance acted like a stabilizing force, putting everyone at ease.

Especially Old Dustman 0609, who was shocked and sweating bullets when he saw Lin Yuan make a move for the first time.

Fortunately, I made the right choice and went on this long journey with him.

Lin Yuan was so strong that he was almost inhuman. He was able to kill the Devouring Beast with his bare hands and did so with ease.

Moreover, they also had two gravity bodies escorting them.

Even if they can't find humans on the ground for a while, they can scavenge for supplies and eat some compressed food in places where there are fewer Devouring Beasts, which can sustain them for some time.

Erica, who was in charge of scouting the road with binoculars, glanced at Lin Yuan's profile.

A smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

She suddenly realized that wandering together across the Austroasiatic continent seemed quite interesting.

Lin Yuan opened the system panel and took stock of his gains.

He killed a total of five snake dogs and gained 50 source energy points.

Including the ones left over after upgrading the Sharingan, there are a total of 276 energy points.

As the distance gets closer, Jianjian's genetic tracking method continuously narrows down the area he can target.

The route became clear.

"Next, we need to enter the core ecological area."

"It's been a while since I last used 800 energy points to upgrade my Sharingan."

"With Erica and Ran Bing guarding us, we don't need to worry about the Devouring Beasts' attacks for a while. Perhaps we can find a place to upgrade our kinetic enhancement."

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Kinetic enhancement is an important way to increase one's attack power, and it's unknown what changes will occur after upgrading.

Ran Bing drove her transport truck past a ruin, where only one building looked relatively intact.

Lin Yuan suddenly called a halt.

Ran Bing immediately braked and stopped the car. She twisted her sore neck and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Let's rest here for a bit."

Lin Yuan looked at the only remaining building in the ruins, which was only about three or four stories high.

The upper layer was destroyed by the earth vines during the cataclysm.

Although I don't know if there are any supplies inside, it's still a good place to rest.

After a long and tiring journey, everyone was hungry. Ran Bing had been driving all day and insisted on not letting anyone else take over, wanting to contribute as much as possible to the team.

Moreover, this place is relatively safe, so we can try upgrading the kinetic energy enhancement.

On the other hand, he also needed to wait and see if Bai Yuekui's team could discover the mark he left behind and come over.

However, before that, we need to check if there are any dangers around.

After all, even for oneself, if one were to be ambushed by a Devouring Beast in a confined space, one could very likely be injured.

Lin Yuan unlocked the shackles on the Mark Beast.

"Roar......"

Mark Beast growled and leaned closer to look at Lin Yuan.

"Wow, why were they released Captain Mark?"

Old Chenmin 0609 was so frightened that he jumped out of the car in a panic.

During this time, he had become somewhat accustomed to the presence of Markmon, but only if he was still chained up.

"I need Mark's help."

Lin Yuan activated his Sharingan and glanced at Markmon.

Mark was immediately bewildered, and the image of the three-tomoe Sharingan appeared in his eyes.

"Captain Mark, the Hunter Squad needs to rest now. Please proceed to the building for reconnaissance."

Lin Yuan said this with an air of seriousness.

He wanted to try using Markmon for reconnaissance.

"Huh? What are you doing? Will this work?"

Old Dustman 0609 muttered with some doubt.

Mark's intelligence is now almost indistinguishable from that of an animal. Can he really understand what Lin Yuan is saying?

"Lin Yuan..."

Ran Bing frowned, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

Surprisingly, Markmon nodded, seemingly in agreement.

"this......?"

The group of people immediately showed expressions of surprise.

Lin Yuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

Although visual sharing is not possible, one can perceive some of Mark's emotions and thoughts through the fluctuations of Mark's life essence, which can therefore be used for reconnaissance.

Guided by illusion magic, Markmon believed he had turned back into a human and led his team to explore the ground in search of a safe haven for them.

In reality, Markmon climbed into the building and searched everywhere for traces of Devourermon.

A group of snake-dogs gathered around, sniffing him with puzzled expressions.

In their memory, there seemed to be no other creature like this, and how come it only had four legs?

Faced with an aggressive enemy, Markmon, acting on its human instincts, lunged at one of the snake dogs.

But two fists are no match for four hands.

He was quickly defeated and was knocked to the ground by the snake-dog.

The antennae on their heads glowed faintly, as they communicated with their companions.

One after another, snake-dogs charged forward.
