The other two are taciturn and swift.
I've met the taciturn guy before. Qianli is a young man with a small mustache and a 7/3 hairstyle.
"Hey, handsome!" Qianli waved to Jingyuan.
“Thunder Monkey!” Jing Yuan responded as well.
Qianli laughed and said, "I know you're sharp! You beat up several of my brothers."
Jing Yuan was taken aback. "Huh?"
Qianli shook his head and smiled: "I'm speaking Mandarin with you!"
"Okay, okay! Normal pronunciation is fine!"
"I have to say, you're amazing! You took them all down. Especially the humanoid bioweapon, for so many years, no one except Boss Bai has been able to beat it!"
Jingyuan clasped his hands in a fist and said, "You flatter me! It was just that no one was taking it seriously; it was merely a friendly exchange."
"Great! That's quite modest!"
The taciturn man walked up, patted Qianli on the shoulder, and said, "Do you want to spar with him?"
Qianli waved his hand, "Forget it, if you can't beat me, my martial arts skills are even worse."
At this moment, Sui Xing walked over and said coldly, "Let's get ready to depart!"
The four of them got into a pickup truck and drove out through the gate.
After leaving Dragon Bone Village, we first entered the Purified Grassland, and then soon entered the Wilderness Ecological Zone.
Qianli drove, with Suixing in the passenger seat and Guayan and Jingyuan in the back.
Sui Xing was silent; only three men were there, chatting idly.
From them, Jingyuan also learned some information about Steelflame Fortress.
Steelflame Fortress is an underground military fortress in the Old World.
This military fortress was built to nuclear-proof standards and is buried deep underground.
Although there were many such military fortresses, most of them were destroyed in disasters caused by the movement of vines and the displacement of the earth's crust.
Steelflame Fortress is one of the few surviving bases.
According to Bai Yuekui's speculation, there should still be surviving settlements on the ground, but they are too far apart to contact each other.
However, there was still contact between these settlements in the Australasian New World.
Each settlement has its own advantages, and they cooperate with each other.
Although Steelflame Fortress is located underground, it happens to be near a rare metal ore vein.
Therefore, he can easily mine mineral deposits.
The main items that Dragonbone Village trades with are these metal ores and energy.
For example, Dragonbone Village mainly uses electricity, but the materials for the solar panels they use to generate electricity are all obtained from Steelflame Fortress.
Although Steelflame Fortress also has the Returning to Origin Heart Sutra and Awakened Walkers, the proportion is not as high as in Dragonbone Village.
Many people will not return to their origin, but most of them live in the deepest part of the earth.
Growing crops deep underground is much more difficult, which makes food scarce for them.
Dragonbone Village will supply them with some food when there is an abundance of food.
Fortunately, Steelflame Fortress only has a population of a few hundred. If it were to encounter a city like Lighthouse with a population of tens of thousands, Dragonbone Village's meager food supply would be insufficient.
Some of the supplies traded with Steelflame Fortress this time were food.
The vehicle travels at high speed in the wilderness. If it encounters flat roads or dilapidated old-world highways, it can reach speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour.
Although they were moving fast at this time, they had to stop and remain motionless when they encountered a pack of Devouring Beasts.
For Devouring Beasts, the aura of life essence is their primary sensory ability, but they still retain some hearing.
If they hear any noise, they will still run over to investigate.
Of course, when faced with a large horde of Devouring Beasts, they choose to hide or take a detour.
Right now, there's a pack of snake-dogs in front of them.
Jingyuan looked at the dozen or so snake-dogs in front of him, stretched his head forward, and said to Suixing, "Just these dozen or so, let's kill them. There's no need to waste time here!"
Sui Xing glanced at Jing Yuan and said, "Wouldn't killing them be a waste of ammunition?"
“I use a knife, not ammunition,” Jingyuan said, glancing at Qianli again.
"You don't need to look at me, I use a gun too."
Shattered Star smiled and said, "You don't need ammunition, why don't you go alone?"
Qianli exclaimed in surprise, "There are more than a dozen snake-dogs here, not just a few. No matter how powerful he is, he can't possibly handle more than a dozen snake-dogs at once!"
Jingyuan smiled and looked at Suixing, saying, "How about we make another bet?"
Sui Xing glared at him fiercely and said angrily, "Whether you go or not is none of my business!"
Jingyuan didn't say anything, returned to his seat, and glanced at the taciturn person next to him.
He smiled slightly, "If you go, I'll go too. I'll cover for you!"
"it is good!"
After saying that, Jingyuan got out of the car with his weapon.
The taciturn man also got out of the car from the other side and followed behind Jingyuan.
Sui Xing leaned out of the window and said to Jing Yuan, "Go further away before deactivating Guiyuan, so as not to affect us."
"Do not worry!"
Chapter 158 Hunting Along the Way
Jingyuan glanced at the taciturn man beside him, who was also wielding a battle sword.
The two slowly walked towards the Devouring Beast.
As Jingyuan walked, he calculated the locations of the different Devouring Beasts.
Even after arriving before the Devouring Beast, they did not release the Return to Origin.
Jing Yuan chuckled and sighed, "With Guiyuan's ability to become invisible, it's really unfair to the Devouring Beasts!"
The taciturn man jokingly said, "What are you talking about fairness with the Devouring Beast!"
Jing Yuan smiled and said to the taciturn man, "I'm about to make my move!"
"bring it on!"
Jing Yuan stared at the five-headed snake-dog in front of him, and scanned it with his mental power to first determine the location of their spiritual seeds.
However, once this mental power was activated and the Return to Origin was dispelled, the Devouring Beasts sensed Jing Yuan's presence.
The group of snakes and dogs hadn't even realized what was happening.
At this moment, Jing Yuan had already raised his battle sword.
Jing Yuan suddenly exerted force with both legs, charging towards the Devouring Beast horde like a cannonball.
"Nine Rivers Sword Technique, First Form: Rushing Torrent!"
The battle blade, carrying a powerful impact, easily sliced through the body of the first snake-dog, cleaving straight down from its shoulder. It not only split the spirit seed in two, but also cleaved the snake-dog's body in two!
"This battle blade is indeed sharp. It can kill the Devouring Beast so smoothly. It is indeed a weapon of the same level as Boss Bai's Alaya Consciousness!"
Jing Yuan sighed inwardly, and was also secretly delighted to have obtained this weapon.
After the first surprise attack succeeded, the other snake dogs pounced on Jing Yuan almost simultaneously.
Jing Yuan's gaze darkened, and he immediately detected the spatial fluctuations around him.
His hands gripped the battle sword silently, and at the moment when the spatial fluctuations and the battle sword resonated, he suddenly moved.
"Spatial Spinning Slash!"
This is a move that Jingyuan created by combining the third form of the Nine Rivers Saber Technique with spatial fluctuations.
It can unleash the power of the first move while also enhancing mobility through spatial fluctuations.
Jingyuan's body transformed into a bolt of lightning, repeatedly weaving between the snake-dogs.
The sword silently sliced through the snake-dog's body.
Before the first snake-dog could react, Jingyuan's battle blade had already slashed through the body of the second snake-dog and was now aimed at the third.
The fourth snake-dog seemed to sense the danger and changed direction the moment Jing Yuan approached, dodging Jing Yuan's knife.
At this point, it was too late for Jingyuan to use spatial fluctuations to make a sharp turn.
This snake-dog could have lived for another second, but unfortunately Jingyuan still had his trump card—psychic power—unused.
Jing Yuan used his telekinesis to control his battle blade, which spun around and sliced the fourth snake-dog in two.
In an instant, all four snake-dogs perished.
