"Genetically speaking, he is definitely not human!"
"So how is he going to defeat the Mana ecosystem?" Morgan raised Mark to this day, which can be said to be so that Mark could fight against the ecosystem.
“There is a place that only he can go! Only by going there can we understand the purpose of ecology and the methods to combat it!” Master Lai only said this briefly and did not explain everything.
The details are known only to Mark.
But Mark was still in shock and hadn't recovered yet.
Bai Yuekui looked at Master Lai and said, "Let him take a break!"
Jing Yuan was about to step forward to ask for details when Bai Yuekui's communicator suddenly rang.
"Boss, something happened!"
The sound of drinking songs came from the communicator.
"what happened?"
"The shielded zone is surrounded by Devouring Beasts!"
Which shielded zone?
"It's not just one area. Centered on the village, the entire purification zone is surrounded by Devouring Beasts!"
"How could this be?" Bai Yuekui frowned. When Jiu Ge reported earlier, there were only a large number of Devouring Beasts on the outskirts of District C3.
"We don't know either! There were Devouring Beasts only on the outskirts of Zone C3 at first, but not long after, they started appearing on the outskirts of other zones as well! Even the mountains have shown signs of Devouring Beasts!"
Bai Yuekui looked at Master Lai with a puzzled expression, but he kept his eyes closed, sensing the aura of the Devouring Beasts around him.
After a moment, Master Lai opened his eyes and said, "That's right! The Devouring Beasts have already surrounded Dragon Bone Village!"
Chapter 185 Devouring Beasts Surround Dragon Bone Village
Jingyuan overheard their conversation and was very puzzled.
Bai Yuekui was about to leave when Jing Yuan caught up with him and asked, "What's going on?"
Bai Yuekui shook his head, "I don't know either, let's go take a look!"
Have you ever been surrounded by Devouring Beasts before?
"no!"
Currently, the Lighthouse is cooperating with Dragon Bone Village, and they will be living in this area in the future. Given what has happened, Jingyuan naturally needs to investigate.
"I will go with you!"
Bai Yuekui glanced at Jing Yuan, thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay!"
Bai Yuekui cannot use his source potential on his own, but with Jing Yuan by his side, he can fight against the Devouring Beast if they encounter a situation where they need to deal with it.
Jing Yuan put away his weapon and followed Bai Yuekui and Master Lai out of the Lighthouse Central Hub.
Bai Yuekui directly piloted her Swift spaceship to the top of the lighthouse.
She found an open spot and jumped into the spaceship.
Master Lai and Jingyuan followed closely behind.
After entering the spaceship, Bai Yuekui immediately maneuvered the spaceship to fly towards the edge of the shielded zone.
After setting the flight path, Bai Yuekui looked at Master Lai and asked, "Master Lai, you said you came here for those Devouring Beasts. Do you know why they surrounded the shielded zone?"
Master Lai shook his head, "I just sensed a large number of Devouring Beasts approaching you, and I was worried that something had happened, so I rushed over to check!"
After Master Lai finished speaking, he looked at Jing Yuan and said, "I just didn't expect that something would happen here at the lighthouse."
Just now, Jingyuan saw a large number of Devouring Beasts gathering outside the shielded area on the outskirts of Zone C3.
At the time, they were so focused on dealing with Charles that they didn't notice the problem.
Unexpectedly, in a short while, the Devouring Beasts had completely surrounded the shielded area.
Jing Yuan speculated: "Since so many Devouring Beasts have appeared, could it be that there's something they want in the shielded zone?"
Bai Yuekui said, "What the Devouring Beast desires most is the life essence."
Jing Yuan asked with a face full of doubt, "Could it be the lighthouse? The lighthouse has a large population, and most of them won't return to the source, and it's currently hovering at low altitude..."
"possible!"
Master Lai said, "The distance from the lighthouse to the edge of the shielded zone is still quite far, so the Devouring Beasts shouldn't be able to sense their presence. I suspect there must be other reasons."
The Swift spaceship quickly arrived at the edge of the shielded zone, and from there, it was clear that the outside was teeming with Devouring Beasts.
However, all of these Devouring Beasts were outside the line.
Inside the line was nothing, while outside the line hordes of Devouring Beasts.
Bai Yuekui looked at Master Lai again, "Master Lai, can you use your ability to read some information?"
Master Lai nodded.
A deep blue light flashed in his eyes, and after a moment, he slowly said, "It seems that the ecosystem is in control!"
"Ecology?"
"Perhaps you did something that caught the attention of the ecosystem! These Devouring Beasts seem to have come here to investigate the anomalies in this area."
Bai Yuekui murmured, "Could it be that the ecosystem has discovered our use of the initial body to construct a shielded zone?"
"If that's the case, then it's dangerous!" Master Lai explained, "The shielding system uses the initial body's ecological niche to prevent other low-level Devouring Beasts from approaching. However, the ecological niche itself is given by the ecosystem. As long as the ecosystem detects an anomaly, it can completely cancel the initial body's ecological niche, at which point the shielding system will lose its function!"
Jingyuan looked at Master Lai, "What would happen if the shielding system stopped working?"
"The shielding system briefly failed, allowing the Devouring Beasts to enter the Dragon Bone Village area. However, the village is located inside the mountain, and if everyone maintains their Primordial State, we can hold out until the shielding system recovers!" It was Bai Yuekui, not Master Lai, who spoke, her face showing unprecedented worry. "But if what Master Lai said is true, and the ecosystem has eliminated the original bodies' ecological niche, then we will have nowhere to go!"
Jingyuan understood that without this shielding system, people could only rely on Guiyuan to hold on, but how long could they hold on like that? If even one person broke through Guiyuan, it would be a devastating disaster for the entire group.
"The most urgent task is to find out why the ecology is concerned about this place..."
Before Master Lai finished speaking, a Devouring Beast was suddenly "squeezed" into the shielded area on the ground.
Outside the boundary of the shielded zone, the densely packed Devouring Beasts crowded together, but dared not enter the shielded zone.
However, when one of them accidentally entered the shielded area, it discovered that it was okay to be inside.
Therefore, this Devouring Beast began to actively explore the shielded area.
Seeing this, Jing Yuan couldn't sit still any longer. He looked at Bai Yuekui and asked, "Should we deal with this Devouring Beast?"
Bai Yuekui shook his head, "Let's take a look first. One Devouring Beast isn't much of a threat!"
They continued to observe the ground situation from the spaceship, but as the first Devouring Beast "accidentally" entered the shielded zone, a second one appeared.
After the Devouring Beasts discovered that nothing happened when they entered the shielded zone, a third and a fourth appeared.
As more and more Devouring Beasts broke into the shielded zone, everyone's expression changed!
Seeing this, Master Lai turned to Bai Yuekui and said, "Girl, open the hatch and let me out!"
Bai Yuekui nodded, pressed a button on the instrument panel, and opened the hatch.
Master Lai flew straight out.
Jing Yuan hovered his battle sword at his feet, preparing to go out as well.
"Don't move!" Bai Yuekui blocked Jing Yuan's path.
Master Lai flew to the side of the Devouring Beasts and released a strange fluctuation.
The Devouring Beasts that had broken into the shielded zone were all stunned when they sensed this fluctuation.
Some Devouring Beasts turned and fled, while others simply lay still in place.
Seeing this from the spaceship, Jingyuan asked in confusion, "What is Master Lai doing?"
“Use his ecological niche to drive away the Devouring Beasts!” Bai Yuekui still frowned, because she could see that the Devouring Beasts did not flee immediately, which meant that they had questioned Master Lai’s identity.
"Girl!" Master Lai's voice appeared directly in Bai Yuekui and Jing Yuan's minds, "These Devouring Beasts are directly controlled by the ecosystem, and I can't drive them away!"
Within the Mana ecosystem, there is a strict ecological niche, and this strict hierarchy ensures that lower-level Devouring Beasts cannot defy the will of higher-level Devouring Beasts.
However, in this system, the Mana ecosystem holds the highest position; nothing can surpass the ecosystem itself.
Under the command of the ecosystem and the oppression of the higher-level Devouring Beasts, lower-level Devouring Beasts can only obey the commands of the ecosystem.
"What should we do now?" Jingyuan asked Bai Yuekui.
"We have no choice but to evacuate!"
"Where should we evacuate? Do you have a contingency plan for this situation?"
Bai Yuekui nodded, "There's an underground shelter beneath Dragon Bone Village! But I wonder how long it will last!"
Jingyuan realized that when these Devouring Beasts stormed into the village, a bloody battle was inevitable!
Jing Yuan looked at Bai Yuekui and quickly said, "Have the villagers of Dragon Bone Village go up to the lighthouse!"
Bai Yuekui was taken aback. The lighthouse had been floating in the sky for decades. Although the system was disgusting, it was an excellent choice for refuge!
Seeing that Bai Yuekui hadn't responded for a while, Jing Yuan quickly asked, "What are you hesitating about?"
Bai Yuekui took out his communicator and immediately said, "Notify everyone in the village to take refuge at the lighthouse!"
