The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

They had previously studied the cultivation methods of the Origin Race and the Fishmen.

It's still in the research stage.

The Origin Race is too profound, and the physical structures of the two races are different, making it difficult to get started without a master's guidance.

According to fantasy novels, if there is a Heavenly Rank cultivation technique in front of you, you will not be able to understand its contents without the corresponding knowledge and strength.

"The effects of Popota's potions exceeded expectations, but these potions are still considered high-end for our settlement."

"We not only need to raise the ceiling of high-end combat power, but also improve the strength of mid-to-low-level awakened individuals and ordinary people."

Han Ning thought of Li Feng's plan to destroy the source point.

Participation is not mandatory, but it is necessary to plan ahead.

"Old Wu, Old Zhao, you two go and take inventory of the warehouse immediately. Apart from the necessary reserves for maintaining daily operations and research, take out all the monster crystals in stock and distribute them to all the trustworthy brothers according to their strength!"

Han Ning's voice was resolute: "Tell them to absorb as much as they can, as quickly and efficiently as possible, to maximize their strength. We don't have time to take it slow."

"Yes, boss!" Chairman Wu and Zhao Kai straightened up and immediately took the order.

The order was quickly relayed, and the people of the Biyun Gathering Area, who had already undergone several large-scale mobilizations, sprang into action like a highly efficient machine.

The warehouse doors were wide open, and boxes of monster crystals, shimmering with various colors of light, were carried out and piled up on the open ground in the center of the cave.

Upon receiving the news, the Awakened rushed over, their eyes filled with longing as they looked at the mountain of crystals.

"Brothers!" Zhao Kai stood in front of the pile of crystals, his voice booming, "The boss said, absorb as much as you can, and whoever breaks through first will get a reward."

"Good!" the crowd roared excitedly.

In the past, you had to accumulate contributions and work your butt off to get some monster crystals.

There is currently no limit to the supply.

You have to inhale deeply, right?

Soon, the crystals were distributed in an orderly manner.

The awakened ones who obtained the crystals couldn't wait to find a place to begin absorbing them.

Inside the cave, in the plaza, and even in the corners of the passageways, you can see figures sitting cross-legged everywhere.

Each person has a varying number of crystals beside them, and a massive amount of energy is absorbed and integrated into their body.

In an instant, energy fluctuations of varying degrees emerged in every corner of the gathering area.

Strong energy fluctuations continuously erupted from some individuals, allowing them to successfully advance.

The fluctuations of ordinary people breaking through to the Black Stone level and Black Stone Awakeners breaking through to the Great Black Stone level rose and fell one after another.

Some skilled individuals who were originally stuck at the Great Black Stone level have begun to attempt to break through the Black Iron level barrier with the help of ample energy and Han Ning's release of a large-scale life domain.

Han Ning transformed into a large tree, using his own life domain as the scope of his perception, quietly sensing everything.

He saw yet another veteran team member successfully break through to the Iron rank, his body erupting in flames and radiating heat.

It's Old Li, a fire-type awakener. He already had the strength of a Great Black Stone, but he didn't break through when Han Ning released his life domain last time.

Now we've finally broken through to Iron rank.

Even Xu Yinyin, that little girl, actually broke through to the Black Stone level, her face flushed with excitement.

"Dad, Yinyin feels hot all over, and my head is spinning!"

Xu Yinyin's excitement faded shortly after her breakthrough, and she ran to her father, Xu Ming, hugged his legs, and said with a pained expression.

"I feel dizzy, what's wrong?"

Xu Ming was startled by his daughter's unusual behavior and quickly squatted down to stroke her head.

It's a bit hot.

"I don't know... It seems... It seems I can understand what Hachi and the others are saying, and..."

Xu Yinyin blushed, looking like she was drunk, staring at Xiao Ba in the distance, tilting her head, and remaining silent.

"Yinyin?" Xu Ming was even more worried when he saw his daughter suddenly fall silent. He was already preparing to pick her up and go ask Han Ning to take a look.

"Goo?"

Xiao Ba, who was happily drinking water next to the Emerald Tree Spirit, and Green Bud, who were standing next to him, suddenly froze.

The two bees turned to look in Xu Yinyin's direction and flew over, flapping their wings.

"Xiao Ba, what's wrong with Yin Yin?"

Han Ning had noticed Xu Yinyin's abnormality long ago, but he was now a powerful figure who needed to maintain the life domain for others, so he could only use his mental power to inquire.

"Coo coo~ Coo coo".

Little Hachi raised its forelimbs and gestured wildly.

"Uh...you mean, Xu Yinyin can communicate with you using her mental powers? And she inexplicably has a very pleasant scent that you find fascinating?" Han Ning relayed Xiao Ba's meaning to Xu Ming.

"Goo!"

"Huh? Boss, has Yinyin awakened her abilities?" Xu Ming was still confused.

"I feel so."

At this moment, Xu Yinyin, who had been silent all along, spoke up:

"Dad, Yinyin understands! Yinyin can communicate with animals now, and she can even be friends with them like Uncle Han!"

Xu Yinyin raised her head, her eyes sparkling as if stars were twinkling.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ming became interested.

I never expected that even now that he's reached the Iron level, he still hasn't awakened any abilities.

His eight-year-old daughter had actually awakened a special ability before him?

Looking into his daughter's bright eyes, Xu Ming was both surprised and delighted. He quickly knelt down and held her shoulders.

"Yinyin, can you really talk to Xiaoba and the others now? Can you show Daddy your new ability?"

"Ok!"

Xu Yinyin nodded vigorously, her face slightly flushed.

She clasped her hands together in front of her chest, closed her eyes, and muttered something.

As the youngest Awakened in the gathering area, Xu Yinyin has undoubtedly attracted the curiosity of many people.

Even Han Ning, who was maintaining the shape of an ancient tree in the distance, also focused some of his attention on it.

From the outside, Xu Yinyin did not exhibit any particularly dazzling energy effects.

Only the air around her distorted slightly, and a faint, gentle spiritual fluctuation silently spread out from her center.

It covered Xiao Ba and Lv Rui right next to it.

"Goo?" Sensing Xu Yinyin's gentle spiritual power, Xiao Ba blinked and its antennae swayed gently.

Xiao Ba originally maintained a distant attitude towards all creatures except Han Ning and the bee clan.

But at this time.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Xiao Ba lowered its fluffy head and extended a slender, soft antennae, gently touching Xu Yinyin's pink cheek.

"Wow!" Xu Yinyin exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Ba is willing to approach me!"

She clenched her fists and asked nervously in a low voice, "Xiao Ba, I... can I touch you?"

"Gurgle..." Faced with the human girl's request, Hachi hesitated at first.

But under Xu Yinyin's continued emotional "caress".

It obediently lay down, bringing its huge, golden-furred body close to Xu Yinyin's reach.

He acted as if to say, "Go ahead and touch me."

Xu Yinyin stretched out her slightly trembling little hand and gently touched Xiao Ba's fur.

Seeing that it didn't seem to mind, I became bolder and placed my little hand on its warm, golden fur, gently stroking it.

It felt softer and warmer than she had imagined, with a faint, sweet scent.

At the same time, Green Bud also obediently moved closer, quietly lying on Xu Yinyin's other side, its thin, gauze-like wings occasionally fluttering gently.

Green Bud is much gentler than Little Eight, and doesn't have Little Eight's arrogance. Now she's much closer to Xu Yinyin.

Xu Ming and the onlookers were amazed.

They all knew that these extraordinary bees were highly intelligent, and apart from Han Ning, they almost never got so close to humans, let alone let a strange little girl touch them at will.

"Boss, this..." Xu Ming was both surprised and delighted, looking up at the ancient tree that Han Ning had transformed into.

"It's a very peculiar ability, like emotional resonance and natural affinity. She can directly convey pure goodwill to creatures without causing them to feel aversion, thereby gaining their trust and affection."

"In some ways, it's even closer than when I first got to know Xuebing."

Han Ning analyzed.

In fact, his initial contractual relationship with Xuebing was mainly due to the influence of natural will.

To say I'm particularly close to snow cakes wouldn't be an exaggeration.

He carefully observed Xu Yinyin's condition and continued to analyze: "It seems that Yinyin has awakened a talent similar to that of a beast tamer or beast whisperer in novels, which allows her to have deep spiritual communication with intelligent beings, or even specific animals and plants, and even establish friendships."

"As for whether it is possible to establish a contract with living organisms, the range of living organisms and the upper limit, further observation is needed."

"This ability has great potential. With proper guidance, it may become a unique bridge for us to communicate with other natural creatures in the future."

Hearing Han Ning's explanation, Xu Ming's joy deepened.

Xu Yinyin seemed completely immersed in the joy of communicating with her new friends. She whispered to Xiao Ba and Lü Rui. Although outsiders couldn't hear the specific content, they could see the two large bees occasionally gently vibrating their wings or waving their antennae in response to her, creating an exceptionally harmonious atmosphere.

The survivors around them couldn't help but smile when they saw this heartwarming scene.
