Ling Cage: Many Children, Many Blessings - I Became the Head of Dawn

The hunter's eyes widened.

How to avoid the Devouring Beast?

If they learn it too, wouldn't they no longer have to worry about attacks from the Devouring Beasts?

Qin Song smiled and said, "This is a gift from the Lord of Light and Shadow."

The hunters' eyes dimmed instantly, and they felt increasingly frustrated. Why weren't they followers of the Lord of Light and Shadow?

Qin Song approached Fan Lu, placed his palm on her forehead, and activated the blessing.

Currently, apart from Chenmin, only Fanlu in the team has no means of survival.

Since he regarded the Vinaya as his own private property, he naturally wouldn't be stingy with it.

The next second, Fanlu felt that he had learned something, and at the same time, his body experienced unprecedented changes.

Strength, physique, and spirit all become stronger in an instant.

This feeling was wonderful, even more comfortable than when the elders defiled her.

"If you encounter a Devouring Beast, follow the guidance of the Holy Light, and you will receive its protection," Qin Song said.

Fanlu was thrilled; he had finally gained the Holy Light's approval!

She bowed and performed a curtsy.

May the Holy Light be with you!

Qin Song turned to leave.

Fan Lu suddenly said, "Elder, wait a moment!"

Qin Song snapped out of his daze and looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.

Fanlu strode forward, stood on tiptoe, straightened Qin Song's collar, and said with a breath as sweet as orchids, "Elder, you must return safely. I will not go anywhere; I will wait for you here!"

Qin Song smiled, gently shook his hand, and a gold necklace suddenly appeared in his palm. He then personally placed it around Fan Lu's neck.

Fanlu gently stroked the necklace, feeling its cold touch, yet his heart burned with passion.

4277, who was not far away, was somewhat envious.

She had seen that kind of gold necklace before; Penny wore one around her neck. It was said that Qin Song had given it to her during their last mission, and the two of them had gotten together afterward.

4068, who was beside her, seemed to sense her emotions and whispered, "You like that thing? I'll find it for you later."

4277 shook his head. "No need. Let's follow the captain's orders and not act on our own."

I used to really like the things this guy gave me when he sent them.

But later 4079 told her that the appearance of the Spine Worm swarm during the last gathering mission was caused by 4068 destroying a piece of flesh soil, so she began to resist 4068's gift.

In her mind, they were all things stained with the blood of their comrades.

4079 never dreamed that the reason he told 4277 was simply to bring the two together, but it had the opposite effect.

Qin Song suddenly felt a pain in his waist and turned his head to look.

Feixue had somehow appeared beside him and was casually withdrawing her small hand.

Could this aloof sniper be jealous?

He hadn't even made a move on her yet.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qin Song raised the Redeemer's Scepter and transformed into a blur as he rushed straight towards the spaceship wreckage.

Mark said in a deep voice, "All personnel are on high alert, ready to provide support to Staff Officer Qin at any time."

Everyone sprang into action, some loading their guns, others mounting their mechs.

Meanwhile, on a distant hillside, several people poked their heads out.

Who else could it be but Bai Yuekui and his group?

Little Xia Dou, holding up binoculars, asked, "What was that light just now?"

Bai Yuekui pondered for a moment, "That is the life essence, but it is different from the life essence we have seen before. It seems to be another form."

Xu Tong exclaimed in surprise, "My goodness, could it be that he has also activated his source potential?"

Bai Yuekui shook his head slightly, "I didn't sense any source energy turbulence within his body, so it shouldn't be source energy potential..."

She hesitated for a moment, "It might be a special ability given to me by someone else, like Jerejad."

"Others?" Everyone looked puzzled.

"That is, the Lord of Light and Shadow that the Lighthouse talks about all the time."

Everyone gasped in unison, "Does the Lord of Light and Shadow really exist?"

Bai Yuekui thought for a moment, "It should be some powerful human, or a Devouring Beast at the Transformation level."

"What is a Transformation-level Devouring Beast?"

"An existence even stronger than a monarch-level being!"

The crowd looked at each other, thinking, "Even stronger than a monarch-level being?"

Even if Dragonbone Village wanted to kill a King-level Devouring Beast, it would have to pay a terrible price. Dragonbone Village, located inside the mountain, was built using the skeletons of King-level Devouring Beasts.

That skeleton was far more solid than most known materials, and it could even exude marrow crystals to drive away low-level Devouring Beasts.

Now that an existence even more powerful than a monarch-level being has appeared, do humans still have any hope?

Bai Yuekui laughed and said, "Don't worry, the Transformation-level Devouring Beasts may not necessarily side with Mana Ecology."

"He's spotted us," Shattered Star suddenly warned.

Everyone turned to look, and saw Qin Song giving them a bright smile.

Xia Dou looked puzzled through her binoculars. "That guy named Qin Song is actually quite handsome, so why did he become a charlatan?"

Chapter 39 Surrounded

"How dare they come here? Aren't they afraid of being surrounded and attacked by the Devouring Beasts?"

In the past, the lighthouse would always choose small spaceships to collect supplies, and stay far away from the core ecological area. This time, they were surprisingly bold.

Xu Tong laughed and said, "They really got lucky this time. Now all the Devouring Beasts have run to Xingxuan to pay their dues."

"Not necessarily!" Bai Yuekui shook his head slightly.

Xia Dou sat up straight instantly. "Boss, are we going to make a move this time?"

Everyone perked up; after following them for so long, it was finally coming to an end.

Bai Yuekui didn't speak, but looked in another direction.

Following her gaze, the group immediately saw several mysterious figures observing the lighthouse team from another hilltop.

"It's those charlatans from Jelayra!"

"Why are they here? Did they also discover Mark's secret?"

Bai Yuekui frowned. "Mark is the key to entering the Blood Vortex; he absolutely cannot be lost!"

"Be prepared. If Jereh makes a move, we must take Mark away immediately."

"Understood!" The group rubbed their hands together, eager to get started.

It's been a long time since we've really fought against other forces; this time we must make a big splash.

Qin Song walked down the dimly lit corridor, his footsteps echoing.

He had some doubts in his heart.

Although the Devouring Beasts lock onto humans using their life essence, their hearing is also quite strong, so it's impossible that they can't find a single one.

After a moment's thought, he guessed the general idea.

"Looks like it's time to go to Xingxuan to pay the rent."

According to the original series, the Blood Vortex is a passage to the core of the Mana ecosystem. However, multiple Blood Vortexes can appear in the same area, but only one is the correct spring.

The Devouring Beasts regularly travel to the Blood Whirlpool to contribute their life essence. The more they contribute, the easier it is for them to evolve, a process commonly known as a promotion or a raise.

This shows that the Devouring Beast can automatically regenerate its life essence.

After all these years, humanity has been almost wiped out. If the Devouring Beasts cannot recover their life essence, how will they pay their rent regularly?

Having figured out the key to it, Qin Song became bolder, violently breaking down the doors of every warehouse he entered.

Qin Song's eyes gleamed as he looked at the armory before him.

It has everything: densely packed heavy weapons, laser weapons, Gauss weapons, and micro-aircraft.

As expected of an interstellar colony's arsenal, it's truly monstrous.

Unlike the cobbled-together lighthouse, this complex structure is capable of space warfare!

However, due to its age, the surface is covered with a thick layer of dust, and the energy has been basically exhausted.

But that didn't stop Qin Song from accepting it.

With a little maintenance and the addition of energy modules, they can quickly assemble a heavy combat team even more powerful than the Hunters.

He didn't stop until he had filled the system space to the brim, still feeling unsatisfied.

After searching for another half hour, Qin Song found nothing more useful and turned to walk out of the spaceship.

Just as he reached the vicinity of the exit, Qin Song suddenly heard a faint gunshot. His expression darkened, and he immediately quickened his pace.

As soon as they rushed out of the exit, they saw Mark and his group fighting against several snake dogs.

Qin Song breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there weren't many Devouring Beasts, so it seemed to be alone.

Since the team was out of danger, he was no longer in a hurry.

In their first real combat exercise, the special forces team appeared somewhat disorganized in both combat skills and formation.

Fortunately, the hunters were all in heavy armor for protection, so the battle was able to go back and forth.

When Qin Song returned to the group, several snake-dogs were already seriously injured and lying on the ground.

"Elder! You're finally back!" Fan Lu strode forward and looked Qin Song up and down with concern.

Mark said in a deep voice, "We'd better leave quickly. The Devouring Beasts will revive soon, and if they summon more of their companions, we'll be in danger."

Qin Song waved his hand and ordered the special forces team, "Move the Devouring Beasts together."

Although the crowd was puzzled, they quickly got to work.

Qin Song stood before the corpse and initiated a prayer.

700 points of Life Essence have been credited to your account.

The next second, the snake-dog quickly turned into a bloody mess, leaving only skeletons, clearly dead beyond any doubt.

"This..." Everyone was stunned.

This was the first time they had ever seen a snake-dog killed.

In the past, whenever I encountered a Devouring Beast, I was always busy running away. Even if I was lucky enough to hit a Spirit Seed, I didn't have the mind to investigate it in detail.

Mark didn't ask any questions this time. Having witnessed Qin Song's extraordinary abilities so many times, he clearly believed it was the effect of the holy light.

Qin Song said, "I found a large amount of supplies in the spaceship. There are no Devouring Beasts inside. I have already marked it and will go in to collect them immediately."

Everyone came to their senses and began to take action.

Soon, boxes of supplies were loaded onto the truck.

Laughter and cheers filled the air.

Once they go back, the contribution points alone will be enough to keep them idle for months.

Looking at the distant mountain peak, Bai Yuekui frowned. Had she misunderstood? Was Yela Ladi not actually harmful to Mark?

Otherwise, if only a few Devouring Beasts are attracted, how can Mark kill them all?

Just then, the communicator suddenly vibrated, and Bai Yuekui immediately pressed the answer button.

A familiar voice came from the other end, "Bai Yuekui, you've been watching the lighthouse for so long, you must have some purpose, right?"

"What brings you here?" Bai Yuekui asked calmly.
