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

Chapter 5 Return to the Village
The power system is still operating normally, which saves time in searching for and repairing power supply facilities.

"Let's see if there's anything we can use. We can also take anything that's broken," Yang Chen instructed the three of them as he turned around.

He looked around; tall shelves were piled high with dusty boxes, and some scattered items lay on the floor.
"Don't go too far away."

Fang Yuan, Wulan Haisang, and Tasia nodded in response, their excitement and slight nervousness from their first outing mingling as they split up to carefully search.

Yang Chen looked around and saw the words "Commodity Supply Station" posted on the wall, indicating that the warehouse must have been built before the disaster.

Electronic devices and medical supplies are numerous and varied.

His gaze stopped there. Several damaged cardboard boxes were piled up, and inside were scattered some faded plastic toys—toy cars, dolls, building blocks… It seemed that after the Mana outbreak, the people of the Old World would convert this warehouse into a temporary storage facility, and the original items might not even have been cleared away.

"Let's see if there are any games." Yang Chen walked to a corner and searched carefully.

Ok?
In an inconspicuous corner, there was a slightly damaged cardboard box. Yang Chen walked over and opened it. Inside was a game console, with the connecting cable and game cartridges placed below it.

"It seems like Yue Kui has never played this type of game before."

This game console would be considered an antique even in the old world. Yang Chen examined it carefully and found that apart from the game cartridge being broken in two, everything else was in excellent condition.

A beam of blue light emanated from Yang Chen's palm and covered the game card that had been broken in two. The game card was instantly restored and became flawless.

Horse charms can not only be used to restore living things and cure diseases, but also to repair damaged items.

Yang Chen pointed, and the box containing the game console floated up and followed behind him.

After searching for a while, Tasia and the others also came over pushing a small cart.

"Brother Yang, can this be fixed?"

Tasia handed Yang Chen a white instrument consisting of a base and a glass container, but the base was damaged, looking like it had been hit by a bullet.

"Okay, sure." Yang Chen took the instrument, restored it instantly, and handed it back to Tasia.

"What do you need this for?" Ulanhaisang asked, approaching Tasia with a puzzled look.

Tasia was speechless for a moment: "This is an analyzer from the old world. It should be able to do the calculations, but you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

"Then what are you going to do with that string of stones?" Tasia asked back.

Ulanhaisang said matter-of-factly, "It's beautiful, look how colorful it is."

"So you broke off the head of that fleshy corpse and took the necklace? You're not planning to give it to Maiduo, are you?" Fang Yuan took the necklace and examined it carefully.

Ulanhaisang snatched it back and quickly stuffed it into his pocket: "What's the big deal? I can just wash it when I get back."

"The village's general store doesn't sell this kind of thing."

"Hey, stingy."

Seeing that the three had finished playing around, Yang Chen took control of the cart carrying the supplies and headed out of the warehouse: "Come on, it's about time to go back."

After loading the supplies onto the truck, Yang Chen looked at Tasia sitting in the back seat and said, "When we get back to the village, Tasia, come with me to find Old Xia. Your potential is a bit strange; let's see if he has any solutions."

“Okay, Brother Yang,” Tasia replied.

Yang Chen started the car and sped off towards Dragon Bone Village. Considering that the three children were still adjusting, Yang Chen slowed down, but it only took him an hour to get back to Dragon Bone Village.

Just as Yang Chen and his group arrived at the entrance of Longgu Village, the vehicles that had gone out to carry out the reconnaissance mission yesterday returned to Longgu Village.

Seemingly having spotted Yang Chen through the car window, the car braked suddenly and stopped. The fat man in the passenger seat opened the door and hurriedly got out, running towards Yang Chen.

"Shandong University?" Yang Chen asked, puzzled.

"Boss Yang! One of our team members is injured!"

Upon hearing that someone was injured, Yang Chen immediately got out of the car to check on them. The three children in the car exchanged glances and then got out as well.

Yang Chen arrived at the vehicle in an instant, and as soon as he opened the door, a strong smell of blood wafted out.

Lying in the back seat was a warrior who had returned to the origin. He was already in a daze, his right arm was broken, and his legs had disappeared from the knees. The bloody cuts and exposed white bones were shocking. There was a penetrating wound in his abdomen that was constantly oozing blood.

"Boss Yang." The warrior struggled to open his eyes, his breath weak: "I...I don't want to die yet."

"You won't die," Yang Chen said calmly.

A noble horse keeps you away from pain.
He placed his hand on the chest of the Returning Warrior, and a dazzling blue light appeared, completely enveloping it.

His severed right arm quickly recovered, and his legs regenerated instantly.

"Holy crap!" Shandong was dumbfounded.

Yang Chen had seen this before when treating others, but those were all minor injuries like fractures. This person today had lost both legs, and they actually grew back!?

It's growing so fast!?
The warrior who had returned to the origin stared in disbelief at his newly grown legs, even his pants had grown back.

"What happened? Wasn't this just a reconnaissance mission?" After healing the Guiyuan warrior, Yang Chen asked him the reason.

They were only on a reconnaissance mission this time. Everyone who was able to go out on the mission was someone who had mastered the Returning Origin technique. As long as they did not release the Returning Origin, they would not be discovered by the Devouring Beast.

"It's my fault too." Shan Da, standing behind him, scratched his head in frustration.

"It's because I didn't think it through."

"It's all my fault for being careless! That Devouring Beast could actually mimic human cries for help, crying out in a heart-wrenching way. We thought it was someone from another settlement who had been in trouble, so we went to help. Little did we know it was just a Devouring Beast in disguise."

As long as you don't exit the Origin, the Devouring Beast really won't be able to detect you. But if you actively approach it and get pulled away, that's a different story.

Upon hearing what Shandong University said, Yang Chen frowned slightly.

Imitating a cry for help?
The Devouring Beasts are evolving faster and faster.
He had considered working with Bai Yuekui to wipe out all the Devouring Beasts on this continent before, but it was all in vain.

Even after a region is cleared of Devouring Beasts, they will reappear after a while. If the problem is not addressed at its root, the Devouring Beasts will reappear no matter how many times they are killed.

"Yes, it's good that everything is alright now." Yang Chen nodded, noticing that Shan Da's face was a little pale, and turned to look at Xu Tong beside him: "Did you use spiritual induction?"

“Yes, there are quite a few Devouring Beasts, so the amount extracted is also a bit larger.” The handsome man named Xu Tong nodded, then hesitated, “Um… Boss Yang.”

"I want to try activating the potential of the source."
