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

"We only want Qin Song and that female priest; you can have anyone else."

"Oh? What are you planning to do? They won't just surrender."

"Hehehe! You'll see soon enough..."

As soon as the call ended, a giant purple energy ball hurtled from the horizon and exploded above the spaceship, illuminating the surrounding area for several kilometers even in daylight.

At the same time, the earth trembled slightly, and a dense horde of Devouring Beasts surged in.

Shan Da exclaimed in surprise, "It's a spirit-guided missile!"

The Spirit-Attracting Bullet contains powerful life essence and is specifically designed to lure Devouring Beasts.

Xia Dou and the others gasped in shock.

"Oh my god! There are so many! Let's run, or they'll spot us..."

Bai Yuekui's eyes remained unchanged. "Wait a minute! I have a feeling that the operation of the Lighthouse this time is very strange. They must have something to rely on if they dare to come here. Let Yela Ladi take the lead first."

"If things go wrong, we'll strike quickly and decisively!"

Qin Song looked up at the spirit-guided missile in the sky, then turned to where Bai Yuekui and the others were hiding, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Was it Dragonbone Village's doing?

In the original series, Shan Da used this thing to lure away the Devouring Beasts that were attacking Mark.

The soldiers on guard immediately shouted in terror, "It's a Devouring Beast!"

Everyone turned to look, and their expressions changed drastically.

The top of the valley was covered with countless snake and dog heads, their scarlet eyes seemingly ready to devour the fattest prey.

Not only on both sides of the valley, but also on the road leading out, a large number of snakes and dogs appeared.

"It's over! We're doomed!" The people panicked instantly.

Qin Song kicked a commoner away, who crashed into the rock wall, coughed up blood, and fell silent instantly.

"Those who act rashly will die!"

The chaos ceased instantly, and all the common people looked at Qin Song in fear.

Chapter 40 Are you out of your mind?!

Mark rushed over, looking anxious, and said, "Break through before they completely block the exit; there might still be a chance."

Qin Song shook his head and jumped into the heavy-duty cockpit. "I've seen the terrain inside. Many of the cabins are well-preserved. As long as we guard the entrance, the Devouring Beasts won't be able to get in for the time being. On the contrary, if we rush out now, we'll be attacked from three sides."

"But we don't have much ammunition; we'll be worn down if we go in!"

“If you hunters want to break out, you can leave now.” Qin Song looked at Mark, waiting for his decision.

Mark gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it!"

The reason they didn't dare to get entangled with the Devouring Beasts before was mainly because the Devouring Beasts could be resurrected. Now that Qin Song can completely kill the Devouring Beasts, he might be able to win.

All you need to do is severely injure the Devouring Beast and hand it over to Qin Song.

Seeing this, Qin Song immediately issued the order: "Combat personnel form a defensive formation, and non-combat personnel retreat into the cabin."

"Hunter, obey my command!" Mark said.

However, just to be on the safe side, he said in the hunters' channel: "If things go wrong, abandon the mortals and follow me to fight our way out."

As soon as the words were spoken, the pack of snakes and dogs roared and transformed into a raging torrent, rushing towards the crowd.

"Kill!" Qin Song drove the heavy vehicle away at high speed.

This heavy 3D, specially modified by Jessica, is now comparable to Mark's Dawn, and even surpasses it in maneuverability and reaction speed.

A snake-dog was caught off guard and had its head chopped off with a chainsaw.

Qin Song's perfect mecha piloting skills allowed him to move without any lag, his intentions flowing freely, and every strike precisely aimed at the snake dog's vital points.

In just a few seconds, five snake-dogs fell at his feet.

Mark also led the hunters into battle against the snake dogs.

Erica's White Shark 14, wielding a rapid-fire Gatling gun, or perhaps more accurately, a heavy machine gun, relentlessly sprayed bullets at the snake dogs in its path, turning them into sieves.

Feixue occupies the high ground, and the sniper cannon takes down an enemy with a single shot.

At the mountaintop, Xia Dou exclaimed in surprise, "Why do I feel like that charlatan is even more powerful than Mark?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Yuekui's eyes as well.

Having followed Mark for so long, this was the first time she had seen someone surpass Mark in 3D manipulation.

Shan Dadao: "No wonder Yela Ladi wanted to take him down. Boss, do you think he might have actually completed the Source Awakening?"

Bai Yuekui shook his head. "The awakening of Origin Essence usually leads to certain defects in the body, which will be quickly exposed in high-intensity combat. Do you think he is a person with defects?"

Everyone shook their heads as they watched Qin Song wreak havoc.

Awakening one's source essence comes with its own set of gains and losses. Take Xia Dou, for example. Although her mental strength was enhanced, her physical development was slowed down due to the influence of her pituitary gland. Even at the age of twenty, she still looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

Xu Tong is even more representative. His source potential activated his appendix, allowing him to decompose rust mist, but it also caused him to have a pockmarked face with fresh pimples popping up every day.

Qin Song had been fighting for more than ten minutes. Every turn required him to withstand the enormous gravitational acceleration of the three-dimensional space, but he showed no signs of fatigue. Instead, he became more and more courageous in the fight.

Whether it's strength, speed, endurance, or killing skills, everything is perfect; not a single move is superfluous.

Even in Dragonbone Village, few can reach his level.

"Huh! How exactly did he kill the Devouring Beast?" Xia Dou exclaimed in surprise.

The hunters initially killed seven of them, thinking they had discovered the snake-dog's spirit seed.

Now, every time Qin Song severely wounds one of the snake-dogs, he lingers beside the corpse for a moment, and the snake-dog turns into a pile of minced meat.

"This might be one of his abilities," Bai Yuekui guessed.

Shandong immediately suggested, "Boss, why don't we recruit him into our ranks? With him on board, our casualties will definitely be lower."

Even they need special instruments to mark the location of the Devouring Beast Spirit Seed.

Many field personnel were killed by the resurrected Devouring Beasts because they failed to shatter the Spirit Seeds.

Qin Song, on the other hand, doesn't need it at all. Isn't this just a self-propelled insecticide?

Bai Yuekui remained silent, instead carefully observing Qin Song's every move.

Unlike other awakened individuals like Shan Da who rely solely on superpowers, she is proficient in ancient martial arts techniques and can accurately capture Qin Song's tactical movements.

There were some minor flaws at the beginning, but the more I practiced, the more skilled I became, and each strike was as precise as a scalpel.

"Why do I feel like he's getting stronger?" Shattered Star exclaimed in surprise.

Her source potential is magnetic enhancement, which also allows her to detect subtle changes in Qin Song.

Bai Yuekui nodded slightly, "That's right!"

The people from Dragon Bone Village were now completely shocked.

Initially, it was thought that Qin Song only knew how to return to the origin, but later it was discovered that he also possessed extraordinary skills, could pilot heavy 3D vehicles, and could now sustain himself through battle.

"My goodness, these snakes and dogs probably won't be enough for him to kill!" Xu Tong exclaimed in surprise.

While the group was chatting, Qin Song had already killed dozens of snake dogs, getting more and more carried away with each kill.

Each time you absorb the life essence of a snake-dog, you gain one point of attribute.

They can't be killed, they can't be killed at all.

Mark and the others felt a chill run down their spines looking at Qin Song's achievements, but they were mostly excited.

Who would have thought that the snakes and dogs that tormented them like vegetables would be like lambs to the slaughter under Qin Song's blade?

The pack of snakes and dogs even experienced a small-scale rout.

Now, the roles of offense and defense have reversed!

The hunters let out a long howl and fought even more fiercely.

"Elder, over here!"

Qin Song suddenly heard a call and turned his head to look, only to see Fan Lu waving at him while dragging a badly injured snake-dog.

Beside her lay a pile of more than a dozen snake and dog carcasses, clearly her handiwork.

Qin Song chuckled in surprise; this silly girl even knew how to help him collect spoils of war.

He immediately flew over and absorbed the pile of snake dogs.

Seeing this, Fanlu was full of energy and went alone through the battlefield, gathering up the corpses of snakes and dogs one by one.

"Hey! Are you out of your mind?!" Erica couldn't help but shout.

Fanlu said calmly, "Just do what you're supposed to do, and the Holy Light will protect me!"

Erica's lips twitched, inwardly cursing that he'd lost his mind.

But she soon discovered a shocking scene: the snake-dog seemed not to see Fan Lu at all, and swept straight past her.

Everyone else was also taken aback.

It's surprising that the seemingly frail Fan Lu also possesses such abilities.

Is this yet another arrangement by the Lord of Light and Shadow?

Just then, a series of low growls came from behind.

Red monsters appeared above the canyon, each with eight horns on its head and a bulging vocal sac structure hanging from its chin.

The moment they saw them, their vocal sacs rapidly inflated.

"Yes, Dihou! Feixue Ranbing, snipe them immediately!" Mark shouted.

Fei Xue Ran Bing immediately turned her gun around.

However, two snipers are ultimately limited; the Earth Roar swarm opened its blood-red maws, spewing out enormous energy balls.

The energy ball exploded, instantly shattering the hunters' and special forces' lines.

4277 was suddenly pounced on by a snake-dog. Just as the snake-dog's blood-red mouth was about to bite her, she instinctively closed her eyes.

The next second, puff!

The snake-dog's head shot upwards, and then a tremendous force pulled her up.

"Special forces retreat to the spaceship entrance, Hunters continue to hold off the Snake Dogs, I'll deal with the Earth Roar." Qin Song's heavy three-dimensional back spewed flames, and he flew into the sky like a cannonball.

The Earth Roar has stronger defense than the Snake Dog, but its weakness is also obvious: attacking its vocal sac can interrupt its charge-up.

It provides five times the life-giving essence of snakes and dogs.

Each one is equivalent to 5 attribute points.

As a type 2 pan-generated Devouring Beast, Earth Roar already possessed basic tactical awareness. Upon discovering that Qin Song was in greater danger, it immediately turned its cannons around.

However, the energy cannon was too slow, and Qin Song was able to easily dodge it every time.

Mark and others felt a significant reduction in pressure.

However, Qin Song knew he couldn't delay any longer and had to return to the front lines as soon as possible to absorb the life essence of the severely injured snake dog. Otherwise, once the snake dog revived, the front lines would immediately collapse.

Chapter 41 Damn! Kill them fast!

The villagers of Longgu Village also noticed Qin Song's unusual behavior.

"Isn't he supposed to be able to shatter spirit seeds? How come it seems like he's never hit them?" Xia Dou asked, puzzled.

Bai Yuekui said, "Perhaps we guessed wrong. He couldn't detect the Spirit Seed; rather, it was his extraordinary ability that was at work."

"You see, every time the Devouring Beast is seriously injured and falls to the ground, he will pause for a moment before the Devouring Beast is completely dead."

"Huh? Isn't that just like looting corpses in a game?" Xia Dou asked in surprise.

In the game, after a character kills a monster, they usually need to pick up the loot before the monster's corpse disappears.

Xu Tong laughed and said, "Your analogy is quite apt."

"I thought he was some kind of genius, but it turns out it's just this principle." Sui Xing was somewhat disappointed.
