Ling Cage: Twelve Talismans? I have everything I need.

Chapter 4 Arrival
"Wow, Tasia, your potential has been unlocked!?"

Fang Yuan stared in shock at Tasia, who had suddenly become somewhat different beside him. Ulan Haisang's eyes widened as well, his gaze sweeping over her.

Tasia looked down at her body, puzzled. "I... I don't know either. It feels weird."

"hiss"

"My head hurts!"

Without warning, a violent headache struck like an ice pick! Tasia cried out in agony, clutching his head with both hands and curling his body into a ball in pain. His body became somewhat transparent, and the blue meridians within him could even be seen with the naked eye.

"Tasia!? Are you alright!?" Fang Yuan quickly pulled Tasia into his arms, his eyes full of concern.

But just as Fang Yuan's right hand touched Tasia's body, her body also fell into the same state as Tasia's.

Seeing this, Yang Chen quickly climbed into the back seat and pulled Fang Yuan away.

When Yang Chen touched Fang Yuan, he was briefly in the same state, but he returned to normal in an instant.

Just a moment ago, he felt as if his body was about to disappear.

"A noble horse can remove all external forces from its body."

Yang Chen's palm, radiating a gentle yet irresistible blue aura, rested firmly on Tasia's shoulder. Under the influence of the horse talisman, Tasia's expression was no longer pained.

She slowly propped herself up: "I felt like my internal organs were about to disappear."

"We'll talk about that later. There's trouble coming up now." Yang Chen's voice was low and calm as he looked out the car window at the desolate wasteland.

A dozen or so supernatural Devouring Beasts were watching them with longing eyes from a short distance away.

If the potential is in a state of being activated, then the return to the origin cannot be maintained. The fluctuation of the life source essence is like a lighthouse in the darkness in the eyes of the Devouring Beasts. It seems that these Devouring Beasts were attracted by Tasia.

"You guys stay in the car, I'll take care of them," Yang Chen instructed before getting out of the car.

Tasia and the others are currently just trainees. Mastering the Return to Origin technique does not mean they have sufficient combat power. They only need to watch from inside the vehicle.

As soon as Yang Chen got out of the car, the Devouring Beast, which was not far away, immediately went berserk and ran wildly toward the vehicle.

'whoosh'

Yang Chen immediately moved away from the location of Tasia and the others, and also exited the Return to Origin state.

The Devouring Beasts that were rushing towards the vehicle immediately turned around and ran wildly towards Yang Chen. At this moment, Yang Chen was like a sun appearing in the night in the eyes of the Devouring Beasts.

Compared to the dim light inside the car, the life-giving essence of that "sun" was undoubtedly more attractive.

The two Devouring Beasts leading the charge quickly approached, and before they could pounce, Yang Chen took a step forward to meet them.

A strong ox makes you strong enough to lift mountains.
The Ox Talisman can grant its holder great power.

Yang Chen threw a punch.

The Devouring Beast's body was smashed as if by a ten-thousand-ton hammer, instantly shattering into pieces! Flesh, bone fragments, and slime mixed together exploded and scattered on the ground. Yang Chen did not stop, turned around, aimed at the head of another Devouring Beast, and followed up with a kick.

The force was so great, accompanied by a whooshing sound, that the Devouring Beast's head was kicked dozens of meters away, leaving only its body twitching in place.

"Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen Brother Yang make a move. He's so powerful!" Ulan Haisang exclaimed in surprise, his jaw almost dropping as he watched in astonishment.

"Tsk." Yang Chen couldn't help but feel disgusted when he glanced at the blood of the Devouring Beast on his fist.

In that instant, the remaining Devouring Beasts swarmed in and surrounded Yang Chen.

"This method is still more effective."

Yang Chen placed his hands together, and a huge fireball quickly condensed and took shape.

Huh-boom!

This scorching fireball, imbued with the power of a dragon's explosion, hurtled straight into the heart of the Devouring Beast horde. A deafening explosion echoed across the wasteland, and a blinding orange-red light instantly engulfed the beasts. The aftershocks of the explosion whipped up dust and debris, and even the supply truck carrying Tasia and her two companions in the distance swayed slightly.

Before those Devouring Beasts could even scream, they were instantly carbonized and disintegrated by the extreme heat, turning into charred fragments and burning remains.

Looking at the wreckage before him and observing that no new Devouring Beasts had appeared, Yang Chen waved for the three people inside the car to come out.

Seeing this, the three of them got out of the car and came to Yang Chen's side. Fang Yuan looked him up and down, and even poked Yang Chen's arm with his hand.

"Brother Yang, you have such amazing potential!"

"I always thought Brother Yang's potential was in healing injuries and repairing equipment, but I never expected he could also set off such a big firework."

"And the speed of the supply truck just now, is that also potential? Then Brother Yang, don't you have many kinds of potential?"

Fang Yuan kept asking questions like a curious child. Before Yang Chen could answer, Talia stepped forward with a hint of smugness.

"You don't know this, do you? Dragon Bone Village was created by Brother Yang back then, and its capabilities go far beyond what we've described!"

Fang Yuan immediately grabbed Tasia's shoulder and shook her vigorously: "Oh, you! How do you know all this? You never told me."

"Stop shaking."

"That's what Mr. Bai told me when I was doing research with him."

Fang Yuan knew that Talia had a talent for scientific research. Besides training, she usually studied and mastered the technology of the old world with Bai Yuekui. Hearing her say this, Fang Yuan understood and quickly asked her about it.

"Then tell me quickly, what other abilities do you have?"

"besides."

Tasia whispered into Fang Yuan's ear, while Ulan Haisang, who was standing nearby, remained expressionless and seemingly indifferent, but his head had already involuntarily leaned closer.

Looking at the two chattering away, Yang Chen smiled helplessly: "Alright, let's talk about these issues when we get back. The warehouse is just ahead, let's go take a look first."

"Maintain the state of return to origin, in case another Devouring Beast appears later."

Hearing Yang Chen say this, the three of them stopped talking and followed closely behind him into the car.

The vehicle started, and the group headed towards the ruins ahead.

Along the way, the three of them looked around with curiosity at the collapsed buildings and the scattered humans who had been drained of their source matter and turned into flesh and soil. The flesh and soil were in different positions and had painful expressions.

Two fleshy creatures and a spinal worm emerged from its body and slowly crawled away.

"This is the outside world," Fang Yuan murmured.

Although I had seen the photos in Principal Qiushi's class before, I was still somewhat shocked and powerless when I saw them with my own eyes.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Yang Chen saw the three people's disappointed expressions, but he didn't say anything to comfort them.

"We've arrived. This should be it."

Looking at the warehouse that was nearly half buried, Yang Chen got out of the car, and the three little ones followed closely behind.

[Infected individuals are prohibited from entering!]
Items requiring storage must be inspected!
The old-world slogans still remained on the warehouse door. Yang Chen went forward to check and found that the door leading into the warehouse had been sealed off.

"It seems we have no choice but to resort to brute force."

Yang Chen gripped the door crack with both hands and forcefully pulled the door open.

'boom'

The moment the door was opened, the warehouse lights suddenly came on, illuminating the entire warehouse clearly.

"I didn't expect the power system here to still be operational."
