Whether it's a Devouring Beast or a human, they all possess an aura within their bodies.
Jing Yuan speculated that this should be the aura of the life essence.
But the person in front of me didn't have that.
Moreover, apart from its head and torso, its limbs were all made of metal.
Since it is inanimate...
Jing Yuan stretched out his hand, and four streams of mental energy were applied to the four limbs of the humanoid weapon.
Telekinesis, like a strong rope, firmly controls the humanoid weapon.
The humanoid weapon floated in the air, its entire body shaped like the Chinese character "大" (da).
The humanoid weapon struggled desperately and even managed to break free from a psychic force at one point.
However, of the four strands of mental energy, even if one broke free, the other three remained. Moreover, Jing Yuan could instantly regain control, making it impossible for the other three to completely break free.
Jingyuan glanced outside the glass cage. Since they hadn't called for a stop yet, he couldn't be blamed.
Jingyuan's hand was injured in the battle, and now his strongest attack can only be delivered with his feet.
Jing Yuan accelerated with all his might, leaped high into the air, and delivered a flying kick to the abdomen of the humanoid weapon.
At this moment, the four strands of mental power still firmly controlled it.
A powerful force acted on the torso, while the limbs were being pulled.
Cracks began to appear at the junctions of the torso and limbs.
"Oh!"
The humanoid weapon was kicked and slammed into the wall. Its left hand and right leg had separated from its torso and were still floating in the air.
Its right hand and left leg, though still attached to its body, were broken off and were only held up by some tubing.
Jing Yuan looked at the severed limbs of the humanoid weapon; it was actually a combination of machinery and biology.
Now that the humanoid weapon has lost its hands and feet, even if it is still moving, it is no longer a threat.
Jingyuan walked towards the gate without asking them to open it.
The six powers of thought acted simultaneously on the gate, forcibly opening it.
Bang!
Jingyuan used too much force and ripped the glass door off.
The people outside were all startled by what they saw.
Not only did they defeat the out-of-control humanoid weapon, they were also able to forcibly open the glass cage door.
You should know that they built this cage to prevent the humanoid weapon from going out of control.
Humanoid weapons alone cannot open this door.
Jing Yuan came out and looked at Bai Yuekui, questioning, "Bai Yuekui, is this how you treat your guests?"
Bai Yuekui looked at Jing Yuan and said casually, "If someone suddenly appears on the ground, how do we know he is a 'guest'? Attack is the instinct for survival."
"Hmph!" Jing Yuan sneered and said loudly, "I said when I came that I came to find you. We are both human, speak the same language, and communication can solve everything. Why are you playing the 'Dark Forest Theory' with me? Is that interesting?"
Chapter 136 Negotiation
Bai Yuekui said casually, "I don't know what law you're talking about. But we've experienced too much on the ground. We don't easily trust anyone! Since you say you came to find me, then please state your purpose!"
Jingyuan sighed deeply, "Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? Why did we have to fight like this?" He turned around and pointed at the iron cage, "You guys almost killed me!"
At that moment, Kolova also came out of the cockpit.
Jingyuan had no idea that this woman was controlling the humanoid weapon.
Kolova said to Jing Yuan, "You barged in, so naturally we had to stop you. We just didn't expect the humanoid weapon to go out of control during the battle."
Jing Yuan was speechless. How could he know if it was a genuine loss of control or a feigned one?
If this thing is prone to getting out of control, then why use it?
Given the strength of the humanoid weapon, if I hadn't come after my own strength had increased, I wouldn't have been able to defeat him at all.
Jingyuan came here seeking help and cooperation, so he couldn't say anything too outrageous.
But this is good too; after demonstrating our strength, the other party's attitude will change.
Jing Yuan calmed himself down and said directly, "I've come to seek your cooperation!"
"cooperate?"
Bai Yuekui said in confusion.
The others wore disdainful smiles.
Jiu Ge looked at Jing Yuan and said, "Your Lighthouse has always been self-righteous, floating in the sky without a care in the world. Why would you think of cooperating with us?"
"Does this mean we have to go to that Dawn Hall and write a complete guide to gymnastics moves for you?" Po Kong mocked, while making two gestures.
Jing Yuan stared at him coldly and said, "Your injury is healed! Looks like that punch didn't hurt you much!"
"Hmph! I was careless just now. If you're so capable, let's practice again!" Po Kong said, about to step forward, but was stopped by Bai Yuekui.
Jing Yuan sneered, "It seems you know a lot about what's happening on the Lighthouse. The Three Laws suppress humanity, making life very difficult for the Lighthouse people in the sky. Since you know this, and you are among the last remaining humans, instead of helping them, you're here mocking them. What, are you trying to make yourself look so capable?"
At this moment, Bai Yuekui spoke up: "We have also sought cooperation with the Lighthouse, but the leaders of the Lighthouse were unwilling, so there was nothing we could do!"
"That's right, your boss even stole our boss's armor."
Jing Yuan smiled and said, "I know, you're talking about the Abyss Warrior Armor! I'm not too clear about the feud between you and Morgan, but now the Lighthouse isn't his city lord, it's Mark's. The Lighthouse now is not the Lighthouse it used to be, so can we sit down and talk?"
Bai Yuekui looked at Jing Yuan and remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Okay!"
Jing Yuan pointed around and laughed, "Don't you have a reception room?"
……
Bai Yuekui led Jing Yuan to a spacious cabin with a long table in the middle, resembling a conference room from the old world.
Bai Yuekui didn't bring anyone with her; she talked to Jingyuan all by herself.
Given Bai Yuekui's status in Dragon Bone Village, she can make decisions on her own.
Let alone cooperating with the lighthouse, even if she brought a Devouring Beast back to the village, the villagers would agree.
The meeting room was brightly lit.
Jingyuan and Bai Yuekui sat facing each other.
The two were sizing each other up.
Jingyuan looked at Bai Yuekui's baby face, with smooth, wrinkle-free skin, and he really looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old.
If Jingyuan hadn't known the plot, who would have thought that the girl in front of him was an old lady of at least 70 years old!
Once you think about this, even the most beautiful image in front of you becomes nothing special.
Bai Yuekui looked at him and said, "You are very strong, much stronger than many Awakened Ones. You live on the Lighthouse, how did you acquire such great power?"
Jing Yuan laughed and said, "You are also very strong. How did you obtain such great power?"
Bai Yuekui stared at him. "We become Awakeners by awakening our potential. After awakening, our physical abilities will be greatly enhanced. The people you fought just now each had their own talents. Those were their abilities after awakening." Bai Yuekui paused for a moment. "Me too."
Jingyuan knew that Bai Yuekui was definitely different from them.
Does awakening one's abilities mean one can stay young forever?
"I can't really explain my abilities," Jing Yuan smiled and quickly explained, "This is an ability I acquired unexpectedly. If you're willing to cooperate, perhaps you can help me verify whether my abilities are related to potential."
"Does Morgan know your capabilities?" Bai Yuekui suddenly asked.
"Now I know!"
Bai Yuekui looked at Jing Yuan with amusement and said, "In other words, you accidentally gained superpowers, but you kept them hidden until you were fully capable before daring to reveal your true strength."
“That’s right,” Jing Yuan said. “They even tried to steal your armor, so they might try to steal my body too.”
Bai Yuekui agreed, "This is definitely something they would do!"
Jing Yuan smiled. After chatting for a while, he was about to start making things up.
Bai Yuekui is no ordinary person. Given her keen senses, if Jing Yuan revealed any secrets that someone of his status shouldn't know, then it would be difficult to explain.
"Ever since you showed your face to us, we've been very curious about how you survived on the ground."
Even if you are militarily powerful, you probably won't be able to hold out for long.
So after I sorted out those messy things at the lighthouse, I immediately came down to look for you guys.
I hope you can share your methods for surviving on the ground.
Bai Yuekui stared at Jing Yuan, "Surviving on the ground isn't as easy as you think. Over the years, we've learned many painful lessons to get to where we are today. But the future is still far away."
"In this apocalypse, no one has it easy. Even the bunch of people on the lighthouse live like monsters."
Jingyuan's words seemed to touch Bai Yuekui, who showed a hint of sadness, "Faced with the Mana ecosystem, merely surviving is not enough. If we want to survive, we must solve the Mana ecosystem."
“I know. But we have to take things one step at a time, and solving the mana ecosystem problem won't be a task that can be accomplished overnight. Let's work together, shall we?”
