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

Penny's face turned pale with horror. "It's a swarm of spinal cord parasites!"

Donnie, however, was overjoyed.

We can take advantage of this wave of spine worms to wipe them all out.

Instead of retreating, he advanced and opened fire on the swarm of spiny worms.

Penny yelled, "Donnie, watch out! The spinal worm is releasing scarlet!"

A cold smile appeared on Downey's lips. If you're going to put on an act, it's hard to explain why there's no scarlet.

He roared and charged at the swarm of spine-borne worms; anyone who didn't know better would think he had some deep-seated grudge against them.

Qin Song narrowed his eyes slightly.

This is it! The performance is too deliberate!

Scarlet pigment can cause hallucinations, and Downey couldn't possibly not know that, yet he still recklessly let the spinal worms get close.

Sure enough, when the scarlet pigment drifted over, Donnie shook his head, his eyes glazed over, "Meatball...Meatball is alive..."

He raised his submachine gun and fired wildly at the flesh and earth.

Penny was about to step forward when Qin Song suddenly pulled her behind her.

The next second, Donnie turned his gun and fired at the spot where Penny had just been standing.

Penny let out a muffled groan, and snowflakes bloomed on her shoulders.

If Qin Song hadn't pulled her away in time, that shot would have pierced her heart.

Upon seeing this, Donnie immediately turned to Qin Song.

Good grief! You're not even going to act anymore, are you?

Qin Song raised the Redeemer's Staff and tapped it lightly, producing a metallic clanging sound on the ground.

Then a golden halo enveloped him.

Missionary skill: Divine Shield!

The bullet struck the shield with a crisp sound, as if it had hit a reinforced steel plate.

Donnie's eyes widened.

What the hell is this?

Qin Song snorted coldly, took out a pistol from the system space, and pulled the trigger.

A bloody hole appeared on Donnie's forehead, and he slowly fell downwards.

4068 and 4079 huddled in the corner, staring wide-eyed in shock at the scene.

What was that golden light just now? It actually blocked a bullet.

It all happened so fast that they didn't even have time to react.

Qin Song dispelled his shield and was about to step forward to see if he could absorb the life essence when he heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

Mark and his men rushed into the warehouse with pistols in hand and immediately saw Qin Song holding a gun and Donnie lying on the ground.

"Bastard! What did you do?" Mo Cheng roared, lunging forward and grabbing Qin Song by the collar.

The next second, he flew backward.

Qin Song slowly withdrew his fist.

In his past life, when he watched the animation, he quite admired Mo Cheng, who was loyal, righteous, and had a great talent for comedy.

Being able to appreciate someone doesn't mean you'll let them run wild on you.

Mark raised his gun, aimed at Qin Song, and said in a deep voice, "Qin Song, I need an explanation! Otherwise..."

"Kill him! He killed Donnie!" Mo Cheng roared as he got up from the ground.

The hunters all set their sights on Qin Song, and tensions rose sharply.

"No..." A weak voice came from behind Qin Song.

Penny came out, clutching her shoulder. "It's none of his business."

"Penny, what's wrong?" Ran Bing ran over and helped her up.

Qin Song stared intently at Mark. "He wanted to kill me, so I killed him. Does that count as an explanation?"

Mo Cheng drew his gun, but Mark stopped him, "Wait!"

At this moment, Mark also discovered the spiny worm on the ground.

"It's a spinal worm."

Penny nodded: "Yes, Donnie was infected with scarlet."

Mo Cheng still wouldn't give up, "Even if he's infected with Scarlet Blood, we can't kill him!"

As long as there is no injury, scarlet infection can be cured.

Qin Song scoffed, "So you mean that being infected with Scarlet Infusion means you can kill people at will, and no one can retaliate? Useless!"

"You!" Mo Cheng was furious.

Mark stopped him again. "Listen to what Penny says."

Penny said weakly, "Donnie attacked us after being infected by Scarlet Ino. If it weren't for Qin Song, I would have been killed."

"Then why don't you hide?" Mo Cheng was clearly at odds with Qin Song.

In his view, since Qin Song was not injured, it meant that Donnie had not attacked him.

If they simply dodge into the surrounding dirt, Donnie won't be able to hit them.

Qin Song naturally wouldn't tolerate him. He raised his gun and aimed, "How about I fire now and you try to dodge?"

The hunter instinctively tightened his grip on his weapon, and the atmosphere became tense again.

Penny quickly stepped in front of Qin Song, "You've misunderstood. Donnie's attack was too sudden; we really couldn't dodge it."

Mark frowned when he saw the bullet at Qin Song's feet, clearly sensing something was amiss.

Mo Cheng sneered, "Penny, don't be fooled by this guy. Have you forgotten the nature of those charlatans from before?"

"No, all the bullets were blocked by Qin Song's golden light," Penny said anxiously.

Mo Cheng laughed heartily, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Were you also infected with scarlet?"

If this person were wearing heavy armor, it would be understandable, but what about that thin clothing and priest's robe? Could it be that the Lord of Light and Shadow has taken away all the bullets?

Seeing that the other party did not believe her, Penny became even more anxious.

But she's still completely bewildered.

She did indeed see the golden light deflect the bullet.

Could I really be infected? Or is there truly a Lord of Light and Shadow in this world?

4068, who was in the corner, spoke up: "Penny is right. There was indeed a golden light that blocked the bullet. No, it was a golden shield. If you don't believe me, look at the ground."

4079 added, "I saw it too."

The others then noticed the warheads on the ground and looked at each other in bewilderment.

What golden light and shield? It's like something out of science fiction.

Most of these people were infected with scarlet.

Just then, Penny's legs gave way and she was about to fall, but a large hand caught her firmly.

Qin Song's voice came through, "Do you want to live? If so, pray to the Holy Light."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned again; it was confirmed that these people had all been infected.

Penny hesitated, "What...how should I say it?"

Others might not believe it, but she was absolutely certain. Just now, in the golden light, she clearly felt a reassuring power—in two words, very strong.

It was as if nothing in the world could penetrate the golden light.

"Come, repeat after me, may the Holy Light be with you!"

"May the Holy Light be with you!" Penny stammered.

The next second, everyone's eyes widened suddenly.

A golden light descended from the sky and enveloped Penny's body.

Missionary skill: Lay on Hands!

Chapter 10 Say Thank You!

The wound, which had been bleeding profusely, began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a bullet was forced out.

Within seconds, the bloodstains disappeared, revealing only fair skin through the hole in the combat uniform; there was no wound left.

A mortal murmured, "It's the Lord of Light and Shadow! The Lord of Light and Shadow has descended!"

Boom! Like a thunderclap, the other mortals fell to the ground.

"Lord of Light and Shadow!"

The hunter team stood frozen in place, as if petrified.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that there was such a thing as a Lord of Light and Shadow.

But now... it's impossible that they've all been infected with scarlet, right?

Penny's pale face regained its color, and she bounced around a couple of times, exclaiming with delight, "I'm really all better!"

Qin Song's voice came again, "Say thank you."

Penny paused, then winked at Qin Song, "Thank you!"

She suddenly felt that Qin Song's handsome face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of rosy light.

Is this what it feels like to be a hero saving a damsel in distress?

[Ding! You have gained 5 points of wish power.]

Qin Song nodded in satisfaction.

Ran Bing peeked out from the side, curiously examining Qin Song's face. "Hey, you're not really the Lord of Light and Shadow, are you?"

Qin Song solemnly declared, "I am a chosen one of the Lord of Light and Shadow, sent here by order to purify the world of evil and save humanity from its dire straits!"

Ran Bing stuck out her tongue.

"So, the rumors about a miracle occurring in the Hall of Light and Shadow are true?" a hunter murmured.

"Then can you save Donnie?" Ran Bing asked.

Mo Cheng and the others were intrigued, and their faces showed anticipation.

Qin Song smiled and said, "I'll give it a try."

Save Donnie? Forget whether he could be saved even if his head was blown off; even if he could, he wouldn't do it.

He walked over to Donnie's body, a pious expression on his face, and secretly activated his prayer skill.

May the Holy Light be with you!

The next second, streaks of eerie blue light flew out from Donnie's body and the remains of the spinal worm, disappearing into his body.

A glint of light flashed in Qin Song's eyes.

Even the spinal worms possess life essence, though it is extremely rare, almost negligible compared to humans.

He glanced at the system notification, shook his head, then took a few steps back, pulled Penny up, and said, "Let's go!"

Everyone didn't know why.

The next second, the pile of flesh and dirt was cleared away, revealing a large, dark hole, from which a huge head slowly emerged.

Its head is like a snake, its body is like a dog, its limbs have human arms, and several fluorescent tentacles float on either side of its neck.

A pan-type Devourer, a snake-dog!
