Chapter 258 Ecologically Dense Area
Boom! !
Amidst thunder and rain, countless snakes and dogs constantly gather on the ground below the lighthouse, gazing up at the starry sky.
hum...
A barrier around Qin Ming kept the rain out, and the rain fell on the back of one of the snake-dogs. The snake-dog did not react at all, but just stared intently at the lighthouse above.
Their eyesight wasn't particularly good, but they could still sense the life essence emanating from the humans on it.
With a wave of his hand, the snake-dog didn't even have time to react before gradually turning into a pile of skeletons, its life essence being extracted.
The life essence is a bright green color, but it is surrounded by some red particles.
After falling into his hands, the red parts gradually began to dissipate, transforming into a pure, luminous green life essence.
He raised his hand and released the life essence, causing an explosion. The power was only about the same as that of an ordinary hand grenade, which was not amazing. In fact, the same level of destructive power could be achieved by extracting the life essence from an ordinary human.
"Ha, I thought it was someone else here. It's you, senior. Long time no see."
Qin Ming turned to look at the person who had come and said, "Master Lai sent you, didn't he?"
Bai Yuetian stepped past the Devouring Beast, walked up to Qin Ming, grinned, and said, "Yes, Master Lai seems to know a lot of things. He said there is a very important person on this big umbrella cover, and he asked us to come and meet him."
Qin Ming said, "Aren't you surprised that he knows so much?"
"Uh……"
Bai Yuetian scratched his head and said, "Don't you know a lot of things too?"
With a sigh, Qin Ming continued, "Didn't you notice anything different about me compared to that Master Lai?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuetian, seemingly lost in thought, rested his chin on his hand and scrutinized Qin Ming, saying, "You seem to be omnipotent, even Master Lai..."
Realizing he had let something slip, Bai Yuetian gave an awkward laugh.
They had asked Master Lai about Qin Ming's origins and identity, but the answer they received was, "Unable to be observed."
Thinking about Master Lai's speculations about Qin Ming, Bai Yuetian was actually a little afraid when she saw him again.
"He must be from ancient times, possibly a being from even earlier than me..."
Qin Ming saw through Bai Yuetian's thoughts at a glance and said, "The human mind is easily manipulated and even controlled. If he weren't afraid of me, he wouldn't have needed to tell you all this and instill fear in you. After all these years, you still can't even defeat the weakest of the large Devouring Beasts..."
Qin Ming shook his head slightly, somewhat disappointed. In Bai Yuetian's memory, he was already able to fight against the Devouring Beasts on his own. As long as it wasn't an endless, massive horde of beasts, he could at least escape unscathed.
However, it is unable to deal with large Devouring Beasts.
too weak.
Bai Yuetian scratched his head again, somewhat embarrassed, but then explained, "Actually, we tried the method you left behind, but we don't have that much pure life essence, so we can only stimulate the body's potential little by little."
"Ok?"
Qin Ming took a closer look, but this time he was looking at Bai Yuetian's other memories.
He could tell at a glance that the person had absorbed some life essence through spiritual cultivation, but since people in this world were not suitable for spiritual cultivation, he could only go so far and his strength was limited.
However, Bai Yuetian used this extra life essence to unleash more potential and promote the self-evolution of genes!
This is true evolution, not an improvement achieved by forcibly disrupting the stability of genes themselves with gene enhancers.
It is more stable, but the only problem is that it takes longer to take effect.
Having discovered some of Bai Yuetian and Bai Yuekui's little secrets, he nodded slightly, "Not bad."
"Uh……"
Bai Yuetian looked distressed. He didn't know what had happened, but Qin Ming's reaction told him it was definitely not a good thing.
Qin Ming had warned them that the methods for stimulating their potential were not entirely suitable for them, and that the world lacked spiritual energy for spiritual cultivation, and their talents were also limited.
Changes are needed.
They thought the two had been completely fooled by Master Lai, but it turned out he had a trick up his sleeve.
They secretly discovered a method to truly unlock the genetic code: first, they accumulated life essence through spiritual cultivation, and then used this power to replace the potential within their bodies, thereby evolving their own genes!
Inefficient, but useful.
It is also the most suitable method for humanity in this world at present.
The only problem is that they don't yet know how to purify the life essence absorbed by the Devouring Beasts and Mana Flowers. If they absorb a large amount of life essence contaminated with the Blood Essence, they will also be affected and become mentally unstable.
Qin Ming said, "I can tell you how to purify the life essence."
"Really!? Thank you..."
Bai Yuetian's face lit up with joy, and he was about to express his gratitude, but Qin Ming stopped him by raising his hand and saying, "I always need to exchange my things. I'll let the previous ones go, but this time it's not free."
Bai Yuetian's expression changed slightly.
Seeing this, Qin Ming asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Don't dare."
Bai Yuetian was startled. He was indeed dissatisfied for a moment because Qin Ming had always seemed like a wise and easy-going person. He was a little taken aback by Qin Ming's sudden words.
Qin Ming didn't mind and shook his head, saying, "I understand. That's human nature. I can understand. Rather, it's quite remarkable that you can still retain the basic moral values of that era after so many years of the collapse of human civilization's order."
Bai Yuetian felt like she had been scolded, but she did notice Qin Ming's words.
She wanted to ask the word "human," but hesitated. Then she remembered that Qin Ming seemed to have the ability to read minds, so she smiled wryly and said, "Senior, you are not human?"
"I guess so, at least in this world, I don't know if I'm closer to being human."
"?!"
Qin Ming smiled, but didn't explain further. Instead, he took out a scroll and said, "This is the method for purifying the life essence. In exchange, you probably can't afford the price right now, but you can take out a loan."
"loan?"
Bai Yuetian was somewhat taken aback. For many years, no, he had never been associated with those two words.
As the son of the mayor of Hisakawa City, although he was rebellious and ran away from home from a young age, even with Horn acting as his guardian, they were never short of money.
However, for the sake of this purification method, he still resolutely chose to make a deal with Qin Ming.
……
Boom!
In the rain, several shadows fell from the sky. Just before they hit the ground, terrifying flames erupted from beneath the airdrop vehicle, offsetting the impact. The horrific flames burned a large number of the snake dogs below to death!
After clearing the area, the airdrop vehicle landed.
With the roar of engines, the four airdrop vehicles drove toward the distant, densely populated ecological area.
Under the cover of night, beneath the ruins of the old world, there are Mana flowers, fleshy soil, and... Devouring Beasts.
The complete ecosystem formed by these entities, with the life-source substance at its core, is the Mana ecosystem.
For humans, these places are absolutely forbidden!
