After an unknown amount of time, Jingyuan heard Suixing exclaim in surprise!
"what is that?"
"Is it a Devouring Beast?"
Jingyuan opened his eyes upon hearing the sound and looked ahead.
Qianli stopped the car, and Suixing also notified the Steelflame Fortress vehicle via walkie-talkie: "Devouring Beasts have appeared ahead, maintain Origin Mode!"
Jing Yuan looked out the car window and discovered that there was a huge Devouring Beast in front of him!
This was a Devouring Beast they had never seen before. Its body was thin, and its two huge arms supported its body, making it look like a giant bat.
"What kind of Devouring Beast is this?" Jing Yuan asked.
"I don't know." Shattered Star shook his head; they had never seen this kind of Devouring Beast before.
"It might be a metamorphic form."
Sui Xing turned and stared at Jing Yuan, "Don't make any rash moves when facing this new type of Devouring Beast!"
Jingyuan gave an awkward laugh, "I didn't mean to do anything!"
"Wait!"
The group immediately decided to rest in the car.
As long as it doesn't move and doesn't break the source, the Devouring Beast won't stay here for long.
Sure enough, not long after, the Devouring Beast made its move.
Jing Yuan stayed in the car, observing the Devouring Beast with his eyes. Its forelimbs were exceptionally long, with its elbows even higher than its head. From the front, it looked like a giant "M".
Although this Devouring Beast looks enormous, it appears quite thin relative to its height.
Qianli was also observing the Devouring Beast. He laughed and said, "It really looks like a bat, but at least it doesn't have wings!"
"If we had wings, we could fly!" the taciturn man joined the conversation.
"But it will be soon. The mana on this continent will soon evolve the ability to fly!"
Jing Yuan looked at Sui Xing and asked, "How do you determine whether a Devouring Beast has evolved?"
Shattered Star gestured for him to look ahead, "If you see a Devouring Beast you've never seen before, it might have evolved."
Qianli added, "Those things evolve very quickly. It takes humans tens of thousands of years to evolve into something noticeably different. But those Devouring Beasts can evolve into something noticeably different in just a few years."
Jing Yuan nodded and said, "I don't think this counts as evolution."
"If it's not called evolution, what should it be called?"
Jing Yuan shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe when we get back we should share our research on the Devouring Beasts and discuss it further."
"What kind of research could you possibly have on the Devouring Beasts at the Lighthouse?"
Faced with Sui Xing's disdain, Jing Yuan smiled helplessly.
There really isn't much research to show for it at the lighthouse.
"Our lighthouse has flown all over the world, and there may be things that even your Dragonbone Village doesn't know!"
Faced with Sui Xing's doubts, Jing Yuan could only say this. He couldn't very well say there was no such thing, otherwise how could they discuss cooperation!
"Oh?" Shattered Star smiled.
All four of them looked at the Devouring Beast outside. Although the Devouring Beast was getting closer and closer to them, they were not worried at all.
Because the Devouring Beasts locate themselves by sensing the aura of life essence, as long as they maintain their original state, the Devouring Beasts will not detect them.
Suddenly, Jingyuan felt something strange.
It felt like being scanned by something.
That's right, it's scanning!
It was as if Jing Yuan himself was scanning with his mental energy.
Who is scanning?
Jing Yuan suddenly looked at the Devouring Beast outside!
Something is wrong!
The Devouring Beast is staring at them!
Sui Xing and Qian Li sat in the front row, closest to the Devouring Beast!
The Devouring Beast lowered its head, stared at the people in the car, and even revealed a smile!
"What's going on? That guy can see us?" Qianli looked incredulous. No one has broken through to the Origin Realm!
"Don't worry!" Shattered Star can still stay steady.
The Devouring Beast has a beastly face, baring its teeth and grinning, looking like it's laughing!
It suddenly reached out a hand to grab the vehicle.
Jing Yuan was certain that the sensation he had just felt while being scanned came from the Devouring Beast in front of him.
This Devouring Beast is different from the previous Devouring Beasts. Since it can use mental power to scan, it means that it is different from other Devouring Beasts!
Jingyuan shouted immediately, "Run! It's spotted us!"
Without further hesitation, Qianli stepped on the gas and swerved, quickly speeding away.
"Roar!"
The Devouring Beast roared, appearing extremely angry.
The Devouring Beast was originally moving slowly, but at this moment it suddenly sped up, its four legs moving nimbly as it chased after the car.
Seeing that the vehicle's speed was no match for the Devouring Beast, they had no choice but to stop and fight!
Shattered Star climbed out of the car window, and three consecutive explosive arrows temporarily halted the Devouring Beast's pursuit.
After parking the car a thousand miles away, Jingyuan was the first to get out.
Faced with the new Devouring Beast, Jing Yuan did not rush in. He immediately manipulated the scale disc to form six flying cones.
Six afterimages rushed directly towards the head, chest, abdomen, and legs of the Devouring Beast.
In an instant, Jing Yuan's flying spike pierced through the Devouring Beast's abdomen and legs.
However, the damage caused by the flying cone was so small that it was repaired instantly!
That's right! Instant fix!
This Devouring Beast's regenerative ability is far stronger than that of the previous Devouring Beasts.
But that wasn't what surprised Jingyuan the most!
Even more surprisingly, the other two flying cones stopped right in front of the Devouring Beast.
Two forces stopped the flying cone from advancing.
And this invisible power is none other than the power of thought!
Jing Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief. "This Devouring Beast can actually use telekinesis!"
At this moment, it was as if a human and a beast were wrestling with each other through telekinesis.
"call out……"
An arrow pierced the sky and struck the Devouring Beast's head, instantly causing a violent explosion.
There is only one Devouring Beast, but Jing Yuan is not alone!
Chapter 166 The Flying Devouring Beast
The arrow from Shattered Star struck the Devouring Beast on the head and exploded, but the aftershock of the explosion only caused the Devouring Beast's head to tilt slightly.
Then, Qianli took out his sniper rifle, and Guayan also used a grenade launcher.
Faced with such a massive Devouring Beast, they could only attack with ranged weapons.
The attack from the Shattered Star caused the Devouring Beast's mental power to weaken, allowing Jing Yuan to continue pushing the flying cone towards it.
However, the Devouring Beast moved its body and dodged Jing Yuan's flying cone.
However, bullets from a thousand miles away and grenades from a taciturn person were all fired at the Devouring Beast.
Quaid and his three henchmen also came to help. At the same time, the Devourer was attacked by six people from different directions, and the Devourer was unable to dodge.
As the smoke from the explosion cleared, the Devouring Beast seemed to have suffered little damage.
Jingyuan suddenly realized: Was it that he couldn't avoid it, or that he didn't want to avoid it?
Jingyuan saw Qianli fire a shot at the head of the Devouring Beast.
The bullet struck the Devouring Beast's head, but stopped on its body surface.
Jing Yuan vaguely saw that the Devouring Beast had a protective shield on its body!
"It has a shield!"
Jingyuan was the first to discover the shield, and the others, upon hearing this information, immediately began to devise countermeasures.
