185: Section 185
Jing Yuan controlled his shield to fly over quickly and killed the Phage Beast with a single blade strike.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
With the Phage Beast killed, Jing Yuan's position was exposed, and dozens of Phage Beasts charged toward him simultaneously!
Jing Yuan placed the shield on his back, then used Mental Force to control nine war blades, letting them hover around his body as he charged into the swarm of Phage Beasts.
Among this batch of Phage Beasts were the frequently seen Snake Dogs, Earth Roars, Sting Eels, and Fuzi Beasts.
There were also some he hadn't seen before.
They were diverse and varied, but they were all Pan-genetic Types.
Since they were all just minor minions, Jing Yuan didn't have many concerns. He directly performed the Nine Rivers Blade Technique; after a series of combo moves, a large patch of these Phage Beasts fell dead.
Specifically, the fifth form of the blade technique, Confluence—besides being a multi-layered attack against a single target, it could also target groups, expanding the range of the attack.
Executing this form, the ten war blades lined up like a single super war blade over ten meters long; one sweep cleared a massive area.
Dozens of Phage Beasts were all cut down in an instant.
Seeing that only a few Phage Beasts were rushing in across the boundary of the shielding zone,
Jing Yuan was in no hurry. He controlled the war blades to separate, and the nine blades pierced the spirit seeds of the fallen Phage Beasts one by one.
Jing Yuan stood where he was, absorbing the Phage Beasts' life source essence.
Suddenly, the Phage Beasts outside the shielding zone rioted!
Chapter 187: laser weapons Show Their Might
Jing Yuan was stunned at that moment!
The Phage Beasts outside the shielding zone had originally been evenly distributed along the boundary line.
But once the Phage Beasts began to riot, the surrounding beasts all converged toward the center.
In an instant, countless Phage Beasts piled up as high as a mountain.
At this time, the shielding system was still functioning.
Most Phage Beasts did not dare to break through this boundary.
However, when they piled up mountain-high and suddenly collapsed, a large number of Phage Beasts entered the shielding zone!
Immediately, a massive swarm of Phage Beasts rushed toward Jing Yuan.
Jing Yuan held a giant war blade in his hand and controlled the nine war blades with Mental Force, waiting in full battle array!
...Bai Yuekui and Master Lai had just flown past the Lighthouse in their spaceship, heading toward Dragon Bone Village.
Master Lai suddenly sensed the movement of the Phage Beasts!
Master Lai looked back toward that direction and said in surprise, "Those Phage Beasts on the edge are actually converging in that spot just now?"
"It should be Jing Yuan making his move!" Bai Yuekui knew that once Jing Yuan acted, he would definitely attract the Phage Beasts' attention.
Master Lai was still puzzled. "Does he have that much attraction?"
...On the grasslands between the Lighthouse and Dragon Bone Village, Mark's convoy was rushing toward Dragon Bone Village, while several vehicles were approaching from the opposite direction.
Those were two trucks from the Lighthouse and two off-road vehicles from Dragon Bone Village.
At this moment, the trucks and off-road vehicles were packed with people, with some even hanging onto the outside of the vehicles.
Seeing vehicles coming from the opposite side, Erica, Flying Snow, and the others quickly stopped.
Mark got out of the car. When Erica saw it was Mark, she ran over and asked, "Captain, is what happened on the Lighthouse true? Did many people really die?"
From the time Penny went to Dragon Bone Village to deliver the news to the resolution of Charles, only a very short time had actually passed.
The group of Wasteland Hunters at Dragon Bone Village had only received the news and hadn't had time to go to the rescue before they heard another piece of news.
Over at the Dragon Bone Village side, Xia Tianlai got out of the off-road vehicle and said to Mark, "City Lord Mark, we have already organized everyone in the village; they are on their way here on foot. According to Boss Bai's request, we are letting those who haven't mastered Returning to Origin board the Lighthouse first!"
"Good! You guys go first!" Mark then looked at Erica and patted her head. "Don't think too much, go back first!"
"Let's go!" Flying Snow pulled Erica back into the car.
Mark then reassigned a few people to swap out Penny, Ran Bing, and several other Wasteland Hunters. They had been through battle earlier and were not in good condition now.
After the reassignment was complete, the empty vehicles continued toward Dragon Bone Village.
"Boom!"
Everyone looked up into the sky as the swift streaked across... Jing Yuan stood among a pile of Phage Beast corpses; seeing more and more Phage Beasts surrounding him, he had no choice but to fly into the air.
Unexpectedly, these Phage Beasts wouldn't let him go. Seeing that they couldn't reach Jing Yuan even by jumping, they began to stack on top of each other.
Before long, the Phage Beasts had stacked up like a small mountain again.
Jing Yuan controlled his ten war blades to line up, combining his Mental Force with the blades to form a ten-meter-long war blade, diving down to slash at them.
Jing Yuan attacked continuously like this four or five times; each time he could scatter the small mountain they had stacked and kill over a dozen Phage Beasts, but they would recover in a short while.
There was no other way; the number of Phage Beasts was just too great.
Although Jing Yuan attracted a large number of Phage Beasts in the air, a small number of them still headed toward the Lighthouse.
Seeing this, Jing Yuan could only take out the laser weapons Bai Yuekui had given him.
He opened the box and used Mental Force to control the three laser weapons to fly up.
The overall appearance of these laser weapons was triangular; a closer look revealed that they were circular devices embedded with three laser emitters.
Jing Yuan controlled the laser weapons to fly around him, then activated the laser devices. The three emitters of each laser weapon fired three red laser beams simultaneously!
With three laser weapons, nine laser beams swept through the surroundings.
The power of these lasers was immense; a single beam sweeping across a Phage Beast's body actually cut it directly in two.
Jing Yuan was shocked to see this and immediately controlled the three laser weapons to spin and charge into the Phage Beast swarm.
The three laser weapons were even more terrifying than a Grim Reaper's scythe, heartlessly harvesting the lives of the Phage Beasts.
Wherever the laser weapons went, the Phage Beasts were left with severed heads and limbs!
Jing Yuan could now control a total of nine strands of Mental Force. Three strands controlled the laser weapons, one strand controlled the shield for flight, and the other five strands weren't idle either, controlling the war blades to harvest the Phage Beasts' spirit seeds and absorb this massive amount of life source essence.
Before long, the Phage Beasts that had rushed into the shielding zone were nearly slaughtered to the last.
Jing Yuan's Mental Force war blades flew wildly through the Phage Beast swarm, piercing through spirit seeds one by one like threading beads.
And he himself stood suspended in the air, absorbing these life source essences to his heart's content.
Though the number of Phage Beasts was large, his current strength was also sufficient.
There had never been a situation where Phage Beasts lined up to come and die... oh no, to deliver life source essence.
Jing Yuan was like a Taotie; no matter how much life source essence was around, it was all devoured by him and converted into a part of his strength.
While Jing Yuan was enjoying his meal, he looked around and saw that the Phage Beasts outside the shielding zone had rioted again!
Suddenly, it was as if the shielding system had disappeared.
All the Phage Beasts outside the shielding zone began to advance in unison, charging into the shielding zone together.
Jing Yuan controlled the three laser weapons to block the very front; the three laser weapons were like three wheels of death—any Phage Beast they touched died.
On the defensive line formed by the laser weapons, the Phage Beasts could not break through, but the swarm of beasts stretched for several kilometers.
Phage Beasts from other directions had already rushed toward the Lighthouse.
At that moment, the energy of the laser weapons was exhausted, and they turned directly into three useless iron pucks.
Jing Yuan put away the laser weapons and immediately turned around, flying toward the Lighthouse.
On the ground, what was originally green grassland was now being trampled by Phage Beasts. Tender green grass was thrown into the air along with the soil; once the Phage Beasts passed, the green immediately turned to gray!
Jing Yuan could already see the Lighthouse; being high in the air, he had the best field of vision.
The lift platform had been lowered from the Lighthouse, and people from the four vehicles were getting out one after another. They planned to let people down and then turn back to pick up more.
But not far away, the Phage Beasts had already charged over.
"The Phage Beasts are here! Everyone, speed up! Get the people and the vehicles onto the platform together!" Jing Yuan shouted hurriedly, his Mental Force carrying the sound waves so that even people far away could hear clearly.
Hearing Jing Yuan's words, everyone panicked.
This first batch of people hadn't mastered Returning to Origin yet and had almost no resistance against the Phage Beasts.
Among these people who hadn't mastered Returning to Origin, many were Wasteland Hunters from the Lighthouse.
They immediately took up their weapons and stood ready in full battle array!
The vehicle drivers slammed on the gas, driving the cars onto the lift platform.
