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

“Oh, that’s true. After all, you haven’t been trained, so you can’t do what Lieutenant Ran Bing does.” Erica expressed her understanding.

Girl, it's not that I can't do it, it's just...

Lin Yuan glanced at Erica.

I always feel like you're a bit dim-witted. If we don't work well together, I'll be the one in trouble.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud crash came from the cliff, and rocks tumbled down, nearly hitting the people in the car.

The workers looked up and immediately screamed in terror.

A beast resembling a giant mobile fortress appeared, chasing after them and blocking the convoy's path.

Wow, this thing is huge!

Erica exclaimed, her face filled with shock.

"Everyone, evacuate at full speed!" Mark was starting to panic.

Lin Yuan was somewhat shocked as he looked at the giant Devouring Beast blocking his way.

Sure enough, the giant-toothed dignathus arrived.

If nothing unexpected happens, Bai Yuekui, one of the strongest human fighters, will also make his appearance at this point.

And it was standing right on its back.

Lin Yuan had also considered going to find Boss Bai, but Dragon Bone Village was still wary of the Lighthouse and wouldn't take the initiative to contact him. With his small frame, if he encountered danger, no one would come to his rescue.

"4077, hold on tight!"

Erica accelerated, dodging the giant jawed beast's descending foot and passing underneath it.

During the pursuit, the giant-toothed bijawed beast smashed its head against the stone bridge on the cliff, causing rocks to fall continuously.

Lin Yuan fired repeatedly, shattering all the rocks that were about to hit the car.

The laborers covered their heads and gave him a grateful look.

"Roar!!!"

Watching the departing crowd, the giant-toothed bijawed beast roared in resentment.

The terrifying sound waves made everyone dizzy and their eardrums ache. They covered their ears and groaned in pain.

Lin Yuan, relying on his strong physique, endured the discomfort and turned around to look behind him.

"Wow! 4077, look! What's that?"

Erica, who had survived the ordeal, looked back at the Devouring Beast with lingering fear, then suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief.

Mark and Ran Bing, who were behind them, were also speechless with shock.

On the back of a giant jawed beast, a woman stood amidst the yellow sand, silently looking down at them.

Lin Yuan admired it for a while, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As expected of Boss Bai.

The first person in Longgu Village.

An 80-year-old girl who hasn't retired yet.

Just by looking at his posture, he's already terrifyingly strong.

Hey! What if I secretly shot her right now?

Lin Yuan suddenly had a brilliant idea, raised the gun in his hand, and aimed it at Bai Yuekui.

Chapter 8 Join the Hunters

Lin Yuan aimed his gun at Bai Yuekui's position for a while.

With just a gentle pull of the trigger, this shot will surely hit Boss Bai.

He smiled slightly and made a soft "biu" sound.

Obediently put the gun down.

At this point, it's best not to do anything reckless.

Lin Yuan turned around without hesitation, grabbed the railing on the Gravity Body, and quietly followed the convoy away.

In the distance, on the back of a giant jawed beast.

Bai Yuekui seemed to have noticed something, and his expression showed some surprise.

A slight smile played on her lips: "An interesting little fellow."

.........

After the convoy was safe, Lin Yuan, Mark, Ran Bing, and Erica sat in the same car.

The hunters had a very fruitful trip and returned home laden with spoils.

I also gained a lot of energy points.

"You all saw what just happened, right?"

Mark suddenly spoke.

He and Ran Bing had just seen Bai Yuekui standing on the giant jawed beast.

I still find it hard to believe, yet I have no choice but to accept it.

"The fact that humans exist on the ground is probably one of the biggest discoveries the hunters have made in recent years."

Ran Bing's expression was complicated.

They have always believed that humans can only survive on lighthouses.

The woman with the same white hair as her not only contradicted this, but was also immune to attacks from the Devouring Beasts.

Erica was quite excited and began to describe it using both hands and feet:

"When I saw it, I was so scared that I couldn't speak! There were actually humans standing on top of the Devouring Beast? No, no, no, maybe it wasn't a human, maybe it was... a Devouring Beast? It was terrifying."

Lin Yuan gave Erica a meaningful look.

I don't know if Bai Yuekui is still considered human, but your Captain Mark definitely isn't after becoming a Mana Eco-Chimera.

"Perhaps no one will believe what we are seeing."

Captain Mark sighed and looked at Lin Yuan again, "However, there is something that may also be very important to us."

"4077, what exactly is this discovery you mentioned about the Devouring Beasts?"

"Also, how were you able to kill... the Devouring Beast?"

So it really happened?

Lin Yuan's expression shifted slightly; he had been prepared all along.

The Devouring Beasts cannot be killed; even if they suffer fatal injuries, they will revive after a period of time.

This is a consensus among all hunters, but it has also led them into a misconception.

Moreover, the hunters' goal is to search for supplies, and for the safety of their personnel, they are unwilling to risk getting entangled with the Devouring Beasts and thus cannot gain a deeper understanding of them.

Due to a lack of samples, research on the ecology of manna has almost come to a standstill.

This also prevented them from discovering the existence of the Spirit Seed for a long time.

Lin Yuan gave a wry smile: "Captain Mark, before answering the question, there's something I need to ask you."

"I hope you can keep my use of weapons a secret this time, otherwise I'll be whipped when I get back."

According to the laws of the Lighthouse, the Dust People have no right to touch the weapons of the Upper People, otherwise they will be punished.

Of course, this is on the ground, and the Lighthouse's law firm has no jurisdiction over it. As long as Captain Mark doesn't bring it up, there shouldn't be any problems. But in any case, let's get him to promise to protect himself first.

Ideally, I'd like to join the Hunter Squad and have the chance to try out a Gravity Body.

If all else fails, we can always take a second ground mission and find an opportunity to leave the lighthouse.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, Mark was taken aback, a complex expression flashing across his face.

Yes, Dustman4077 clearly performed a meritorious service, but not only did he not receive a reward, he also had to worry about being punished.

With the discovery of humans on the ground this time, he once again began to doubt the Three Laws.

Even Ran Bing lowered her head.

Erica glanced at the two of them and immediately defended Lin Yuan:

"4077, you saved me and Penny this time, and you even protected the supplies!"

"You've killed more Devouring Beasts with a gun than I have with Gravity Body, so why shouldn't they let you use a gun!"

"And you're already this good at it after only your first time handling a gun. Which civilian has a better talent than you? Right, Captain?"

Mark and Ran Bing were momentarily stunned by Erica's gaze.

As expected of Erica, what a great assist!

Seeing the change in both of them, Lin Yuan's heart stirred, and he immediately added fuel to the fire, saying:

"Actually, I've always wanted to join the Hunters and fight alongside Captain Mark to help you bring back more supplies."

"Although this is my first time handling a gun, I have simulated the scenario of fighting alongside you countless times."

Erica suddenly realized, looking at Lin Yuan in surprise: "No wonder you're such a good shot, 4077, so that's why you..."

Lin Yuan sighed, displaying Oscar-worthy acting skills:

"If this matter has caused you any difficulty, that's okay. I won't complain. Perhaps... I really did act impulsively."

The boy's handsome face, coupled with his downcast eyes and the expression of suppressing his grievances, instantly made the two girls' hearts flutter.

Looking at the distraught Lin Yuan, Ran Bing felt a pang of sympathy and turned to Mark, pleading, "Captain..."

Mark felt a chill run down his spine and sighed, saying, "No matter what, you really shouldn't have taken a gun."

"Fighting against the Devouring Beasts is the duty of the Wilderness Hunters."

Holy crap, did we mess this up?

Lin Yuan was startled and was already planning how to escape to find Boss Bai.

The next moment, Mark changed the subject: "However, I will ask the city lord for permission to let you join the Wilderness Hunters."

"Yay! Great! 4077, we're teammates now!"

Erica cheered and excitedly shook Lin Yuan.

"Okay, Erica, stop..."

The blinding white light made him a little dizzy.

Ran Bing also showed a happy smile.

If Lin Yuan's matter succeeds this time, maybe my matter with Mark will also succeed.

Mark paused for a moment and then said, "4077, can you tell me about killing the Devouring Beast now?"

Chapter 9: Back to the Lighthouse, Penny Commits Suicide

Now that we've gotten involved with the main characters, it's time to talk about the Spirit Seed.

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Lin Yuan composed himself, organized his thoughts, and said:

"I was able to kill the Devouring Beasts because I discovered that they had a core inside them."

It's best not to use the term "spiritual seed" since I can't explain its origin.

Erica stroked her chin, then her eyes suddenly lit up. "Oh yeah, so that's how it is!"

"I remember that the Devouring Beasts killed by 4077 all had a round, broken thing inside their bodies, kind of like... a cage!"

She couldn't think of a better way to describe it, so she just picked a random word to use.

"A round cage?"
