Chapter 70: Solutions to Staff Shortages; The Lighthouse
"Everyone prepare for battle! Activate the turrets to attack the Devouring Beasts and cover the squad's return to the village!"
Everyone was ready to fight, but some were also puzzled.
Logically speaking, this place has a special magnetic field with a high ecological niche, so how could the Devouring Beast have run into the range of the shielding tower?
Is the shielding tower broken?
Lin Yuan looked at the suddenly raised cannon platform and immediately understood what had happened. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and said:
"If you don't explain this, my wooden dummy will be bombarded by artillery shells."
Judging from this situation, those people most likely mistook their wooden dummy for a Devouring Beast.
The others were immediately embarrassed.
Sui Xing used the walkie-talkie on the vehicle to say to the people in the fortress, "Don't be nervous, everyone. This is not a Devouring Beast, but a potential creation of Lin Yuan."
Those awakened practitioners who had unleashed their potential were stunned, feeling as if their worldview had been shattered.
Has the original potential of nature developed to this extent?
Evolution didn't include me?
Po Kong stared at the device on his arm, lost in thought.
Even discharging itself requires a booster, and discharging for too long can lead to arrhythmia.
How was this six-meter-tall, three-meter-wide giant, which looks like it's attacking, created?
.........
Back to Dragonbone Village.
The kudzu vines that were brought back were planted in the ground.
The composite wooden figure disintegrated into an oak tree figure and a kudzu vine figure.
They knelt on one knee before Lin Yuan, bowed their heads in respect, and then completely transformed back into oak trees and vines.
Maiduo, Xiadou, and the others looked at each other, speechless with surprise.
It can actually turn back.
In that case, if we want to take the wooden figures out to battle in the future, we can just pick a few trees at the entrance of the village.
Bai Yuekui took a deep look at the plants and said:
"With these plants as the first line of defense, our range of activities can be greatly increased."
The plants catalyzed by Lin Yuan can not only purify the pollution of the Mana ecosystem, but also actively kill the Devouring Beasts and devour the Breath Soil.
If large-scale planting is possible, there is indeed a way to reclaim a significant amount of land from Mana Ecology.
Thinking of this, Bai Yuekui picked up the photo in his hand.
The patch of green in the desert was very eye-catching.
She took this picture to keep as a memento.
The photo shows a small oasis that Lin Yuan created using the soil left behind by the dead Devouring Beast as nutrients when testing the abilities of the Heart of the Tree Realm.
Nobody cares about this change.
Because this was merely an experiment; a small oasis was born, but a group of Devouring Beasts perished...
Until cities are rebuilt, until species recover, until more and more people survive, and until humanity unites like never before, perhaps this post-apocalyptic wasteland will once again be teeming with life.
After learning about the situation, Zhang Hengxia and Nanjixing, the village chiefs of Longgu Village, were also somewhat moved.
"I never imagined that among the potential awakened by humankind, there would be a way to suppress the Mana ecosystem."
"I wonder what will happen when these plants encounter the Cataclysmic Earth Vines."
"That's probably far from enough. After all, this is just a product of Lin Yuan's potential being catalyzed, and it still has its limits."
"..."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Lin Yuan's expression shifted, and he remembered the effects of the earth vines.
Although the vines that can be seen now have completely withered and died.
However, in the places of cataclysm, the creeping vines that grow cause massive destruction of buildings, can even change the landscape, cause tectonic plate collisions and compressions, and can also release mana spores.
This destructive power is still very strong.
If they were on the same level, or even slightly different, Lin Yuan was confident that the catalyzed plant could surpass the Earth Vine. However, the current Heart of the Tree Realm was only at level two.
It only consumes 300 energy points.
Compared to the Earth Vines during the Cataclysm, it's practically like an underdeveloped embryo.
However, Lin Yuan was not fighting alone.
The power of the Tree Heart is currently insufficient, but others can be allowed to cultivate the catalyzed plants.
This is much easier to grow than ordinary plants.
Mana's products can be used directly as nutrients, and even the water can be used for irrigation without purification.
"By the way, with so few people in our Dragon Bone Village, we probably won't have enough manpower to plant the plants of the Forest Abyss and expand our territory."
Xia Dou was somewhat troubled.
Dragonbone Village is now lacking not only combat power but also population.
Otherwise, the oath of guardianship would not have allowed people to bring back their fellow human beings and the essence of life as much as possible.
"Dragonbone Village alone is indeed short-handed, but in a certain floating city, there are tens of thousands of people living there."
Lin Yuan smiled meaningfully and pointed to the sky.
The group exchanged glances and understood what he meant.
A floating city in the sky, home to tens of thousands of people...
To their knowledge, only one person meets all of the above conditions.
.........
Charles suddenly woke up, sat up abruptly in bed, and was panting heavily.
"Lin Yuan..."
He recalled how Lin Yuan had used the Lord of Light and Shadow to tease him back then.
His face was extremely gloomy.
Only after experiencing the power of the illusion firsthand did he understand how terrifying this power was.
No wonder he was able to brazenly take away the beast-like Mark, the gravity body, and a bunch of weapons and equipment in full view of everyone.
Moreover, it can control Mark.
Perhaps Morgan was wrong; Mark was merely a tool, and Lin Yuan was the key.
Lin Yuan's abilities are both astonishing and intimidating.
If they come back again, they will be even stronger than before!
To deal with him, we must accelerate the progress of the Abyss Keeper Project.
Charles became inexplicably obsessed with the Abyss Warrior armor the first time he saw it.
Lin Yuan, the one who stands by the abyss...
Perhaps this is destiny.
I am the chosen one of the Lord of Light and Shadow, and there is absolutely no way I can lose.
"That's right, the Lord of Light and Shadow would never abandon us..."
"Lord City Lord, you're awake?"
Fanlu's eyes lit up, and she revealed a sweet smile.
Ever since Lin Yuan left the lighthouse, the city lord has been unable to eat or sleep properly, as if he has something on his mind.
He finally got a long sleep today.
Charles nodded slowly and looked at the Lightbringer Vatican. "Vatican, how is the Abyss Project going?"
Morgan previously launched Project Abyss Rider, attempting to allow humans to pilot Abyss Riders.
When a test subject suffering from venomous venom enters the laboratory, a rejection reaction occurs, and the body is squeezed out as bloody fluid.
Since Dr. Carrie's suggestion was approved, the Abyss has been using healthy living subjects, but the results are still not ideal.
Although the test subject successfully piloted the Abyss, he only managed to throw three punches after entering the room, and emerged as a emaciated old man.
Vatican replied, "Lord of the city, Dr. Carrie has made improvements to the experiment... but the results are not good."
"As before, the experimental subjects' mitochondria were severely fragmented, as if decades of life processes had been swallowed up."
Charles paused for a moment and then said, "Then... what if we use Lin Yuan's blood?"
Chapter 71 Don't tell anyone what happened today.
Charles suddenly thought of the blood Lin Yuan had left behind.
At that time, Lin Yuan used his regenerative blood to save two mortals, and even devoured Mark's cells, awakening the beast-like Mark.
Lin Yuan, the one who stands by the abyss...
Perhaps Lin Yuan's blood can help activate the Abyss Walker.
However, when Lin Yuan was mentioned, the Light-Bearer Fanti seemed to be stunned and suddenly fell silent.
"Reporting to the city lord, it has been tried."
The younger Fan Lu looked at Fan Di with a puzzled expression and answered for her: "Dr. Carrie has already tried it. Lin Yuan's blood does have a special substance, but its main function is to regulate the immune system and accelerate cell proliferation."
"Although it helps repair mitochondria, it's far from enough. After all, those who are near the abyss can absorb decades' worth of life force in a very short time."
This was something that Vatican should have said, but she didn't know why she wasn't speaking, so I had to fill in the gaps myself.
When Lin Yuan was mentioned, Fanti's heart raced and her breathing became rapid.
She remembered what had happened before Lin Yuan's departure.
At that time, the city lord was hypnotized by Lin Yuan and jumped off the platform.
I had intended to save them, but I was also pulled into the illusion.
She was wantonly violated by tentacles growing from the shadows...
Damn it! You shameless bastard!
They actually dared to control my mind through hypnosis!
How dare they...
The Lightbringer Vatican gritted her teeth in anger, trembling slightly as she squeezed her plump thighs together.
Even her skin was slightly red.
She never wanted to recall the sticky, bound, and helpless feeling she experienced in that illusion again!
But every time Lin Yuan is mentioned, the scene from that day comes back to mind.
She tried her best to hide her unusual behavior so that others wouldn't notice.
He Guangzhe Fanlu looked at Fanti with a puzzled expression, not understanding what Lin Yuan had done to frighten her so much.
Since Vatican isn't saying anything, then I'll just have to make a good impression on the city lord.
Thinking of this, the young girl, Fanlu, suppressed her excitement and said:
"Lord City Lord, Dr. Carrie's genetic testing results for Lin Yuan are now complete."
"First, there's the incidence rate. The chances of getting heart disease, malignant tumors, cerebrovascular disease... are close to zero."
"Moreover, it has a special heritable trait, which is suspected to be some kind of gene mutation."
