Ling Cage: Starting with Sharingan, Vatican seeks to breed.

If Longyuan can be modified and combined with the abilities of the Heart of the Tree Realm, it can be used as a transitional tool.

"I also need to go!"

Xia Dou said, her eyes shining.

This is a great opportunity to earn crystal coins.

Erica looked at Lin Yuan's retreating figure and lowered her head in disappointment.

She also wanted to act together with Lin Yuan.

However, before mastering the fundamentals, going there will only hold everyone back.

I never imagined that my best skill, gravity-based piloting, would become completely useless.

........

The entrance to Longgu Village.

The oak tree and kudzu vine, which had originally transformed into plants, transformed back into wooden figures, sat on the carriage of the transport vehicle, and then transformed back into plants.

After the Heart of the Tree Realm is upgraded to level three, maintaining these two wooden figures becomes much easier.

Besides fighting, they can also be used to transport supplies.

"How about it? Doesn't this look like one of you scavengers from the big pot lid?"

Xia Dou chuckled and patted the back of the car.

"They are hunters."

Lin Yuan was somewhat helpless. After all, he had been a hunter of the wilderness, so he should be given some face.

Xia Dou's words made him sound like he was the one picking up trash in the fields.

But thinking about it carefully, calling them scavengers isn't entirely wrong.

In a sense, aren't the hunters just scavenging for trash on the ground, while the people of the Lighthouse have lived on trash collected by others for decades?

"Let's go, let's set off." Suixing opened the route map in the car.

With the push of the joystick, the transport vehicle carrying the wooden figure headed towards the interstellar dock.

Chapter 75 Jiuchuan City Sanitation

As noon approached, the sun gradually rose.

Lin Yuan and his group traveled by car, crossing the Haihe Bridge in the city, with towering skyscrapers standing in the distance.

We got off the bus at a large garbage transfer station.

There were several large, damaged buses nearby, and in front of them stood a factory that covered a vast area.

There are still a few lines of text engraved on the door, but they are somewhat blurred due to the passage of time, though the names can still be vaguely seen.

Jiuchuan City Sanitation.

Shattered Star said, "This is a place built by Jiuchuan City before the Great Cataclysm. The garbage in the core area of ​​the city is temporarily stored in the storage pit here. It is said that the daily garbage processing capacity reaches several thousand tons."

"Junkyard?"

Xia Dou blinked in confusion, "What are we doing here? We're not... really going to become scavengers, are we?"

The thought of having to scavenge for trash in a garbage dump made her shiver and hug her arms.

"Hey... let's get this straight, I'm not going to pick up trash!"

Sui Xing rubbed her forehead, glanced at her helplessly, and explained, "The trash here is mostly waste material, there's no way there's anything good in it, and even if there were, after so many years, it's beyond repair."

"However, there are some energy reserves and components here. In addition, we found that the ecological density here is extremely high, and it is very likely that there are metamorphosed Devouring Beasts."

"Based on the information we obtained earlier, we deduced that there is a small underground military research and development base nearby. After killing the Devouring Beast, we can go there to obtain some combat equipment from the Old World."

Lin Yuan nodded thoughtfully, understanding what needed to be done next.

Previously, the Lighthouse found combat equipment at the starship ruins, which enabled them to modify the gravity body and install thrusters.

It seems that Boss Bai has thought things through for himself.

Kill the Devouring Beast, then search for and retrieve combat equipment from the base.

Some of the acquired equipment parts can be used to modify "Longyuan".

The gate had been broken down by brute force, allowing everyone to enter easily.

Before even entering the first floor of the building, one could see a large amount of scarlet spores piled up inside, filled with red mist.

Mangospermia is a substance released by the manna ecosystem.

The fact that it can reach this concentration means that it most likely contains Mana flowers.

"Looks like it's time for my plants to shine."

Lin Yuan manipulated the oak tree man and the kudzu vine man to enter the interior.

For catalyzed plants, crocin is nothing more than a source of nutrients.

As their thoracic cavities continuously expand and contract, the concentration of crocin decreases until it completely returns to a safe level.

Then, it opened its chest cavity, took in the Mana Flower that was floating up and down inside, and then closed its chest cavity.

It was refined in an instant.

"So wooden figures can be used like this?" Xia Dou said with surprise.

Lin Yuan smiled. If his wooden dummy couldn't even do this much, what was the point of doing landscaping?

The group exchanged glances and then entered the building.

The man with the taciturn expression clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "Lin Yuan, your wooden figure is really convenient. This way, we don't need that guy Xu Tong anymore. No wonder Boss Bai didn't let him come along."

Every time Xu Tong absorbed the fishy substance, he would make a sound like a bird chirping, so loud that you had to cover your ears. Afterwards, he would also fart, and the smell was disgusting.

Sui Xing shook his head. "The more potential a team has, the better. Other field teams will also need it."

After comparing the two, the taciturn man felt that Lin Yuan's wooden dummy was better.

He preferred to act with Lin Yuan every time, even if it was dangerous, so he wouldn't have to smell that fart.

Lin Yuan thought of Xu Tong, who was disfigured because of the activation of his potential. The way he used his potential was also indescribable, which was a bit too tragic.

I wonder if there's any way to fix his face.

Even with the help of regenerative blood, she would probably be disfigured again due to her potential.

"Wait, something's happening!"

Sui Xing's expression suddenly changed, as if he had detected something, and he looked towards the garbage storage pit on the first floor.

The gate, which had been closed, was forcibly smashed open, leaving a large hole.

Lin Yuan followed the gaze and immediately looked surprised.

Besides the garbage, it also contained a large amount of flesh soil that humans had turned into after their life essence was absorbed!

Lin Yuan suddenly remembered the habits of the mutated Devouring Beast and the Calyx Beast.

Corpses that have had their life essence absorbed by it will be rolled into a huge ball and pushed into the pit.

It has a rather dung-like feel to it.

The Devouring Beasts here seem to be quite particular, as they will find a place to dispose of the digested flesh and soil.

"These are... people from other settlements!"

Xia Dou looked at the pile of flesh and dirt exposed in the garbage heap and determined their identities in life by the clothes and tactical masks on them.

So many people from the surface settlements have died!

"It seems this place has become a lair for the Devouring Beasts, and the garbage pits inside the factory have been turned into places to store flesh and soil."

Sui Xing's expression was somewhat serious.

The flesh and soil from these other settlements of humans were probably left here by the Devouring Beasts after they hunted outside.

Strangely, however, no trace of the Devouring Beast could be found here.

Did it run off to somewhere else?

Lin Yuan was also somewhat puzzled. Since it was the lair of the Devouring Beasts, shouldn't there be Devouring Beasts living there?

"Lin Yuan, why don't you send your wooden dummy down to take a look?"

Xia Dou suggested.

Lin Yuan nodded.

After all, the wooden figures don't have life essence and are not easily attacked by the Devouring Beasts, so it's not a bad idea to let them scout ahead.

The oak tree man and the kudzu tree man jumped into the garbage dump.

He started rummaging through the contents as he walked.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but purse his lips as he looked at it; it really did look like someone picking up trash.

"Crash."

Suddenly, the garbage heap moved, and a large amount of garbage and dirt fell down.

It seems something underground is about to emerge.

Everyone's expressions turned serious, and they subconsciously took a step back.

There was a loud "boom".

A gigantic Devouring Beast tore through the garbage heap, and the Oak Treeman was also knocked aside.

The wooden figure is six meters tall, but only its legs reach.

The Devouring Beast had no head, and its back had serrated, intersecting cracks, like a closed Venus flytrap, which looked like mouthparts, with small round eyes on both sides.

Drops of viscous fluid occasionally dripped from its mouth through the cracks, accompanied by a series of corrosive sounds.

Lin Yuan frowned immediately and said in a low voice:

"Everyone, please leave here first."

This place is not suitable for fighting; it would be bad if it collapsed.

Everyone nodded, intending to remain in their original state as they walked out.

Just as I reached the door.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The fly-grass beast spotted the wooden man, its back splitting open, and a scream emanated from the hole inside.

Dust flew up with the sound waves, causing the entire factory to vibrate.

It...devours...danger! Due to the message conveyed by the Mana Flower before its death, it has come to regard the wooden man as an enemy.

The powerful sound waves made everyone dizzy.

"Oh no, I can't hold on any longer!"

Xia Dou, Sui Xing, and the others clutched their heads in pain, and were the first to break through the Guiyuan realm, emitting the light of the source essence.

Once one person is discovered, the others will be discovered as well.

The fly-grass beast turned its head and looked at them, discovering their location.

Then it spread its flytrap-like back, swallowed the two wooden figures first, and then charged forward.

Lin Yuan's eyes were strange as he watched the wooden figure being swallowed.

"Dare to devour my wooden dummy?"

If the wooden figure were still outside, it would be difficult to cause much damage to the fly-grass beast, since the Devouring Beast's skin has very high defensive capabilities.

However, once inside the relatively soft interior of the Devouring Beast, it was almost like Sun Wukong entering the belly of a monster.
