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

Chapter 94 Blessing
Fang Yuan clicked his tongue, his tone tinged with pity.

"How pathetic, they're thrown down because they're useless."

Upon hearing this, the driver glanced at the distant lighthouse through the car window.

He calmly said, "Hai Sang, why don't you ask Boss Yang?"

As he spoke, he freed one hand and handed the car communicator to the back seat, "Let's see what the boss says, should we take it back with us?"

Ulanhaisang put down his binoculars, rubbed his still sleepy eyes, took the communicator, and responded.

"Oh." He glanced at the sky subconsciously; the morning light was faint, and the village should still be quiet.

He muttered to himself, "At this hour... Brother Yang should still be sleeping in, right?"

Even so, he still skillfully dialed Yang Chen's private communication channel.

Surprisingly, the communication was connected almost immediately.

"Hai Sang?" Yang Chen's clear and steady voice came through the receiver.

The background noise consisted of the faint echoes characteristic of an open space, along with rhythmic, slightly childish "whoosh" sounds.

"Brother Yang? You...you got up so early?" Hai Sang was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, I'll be teaching Maiduo some basics today." Yang Chen's voice carried a gentle smile.

On the other end of the communicator, you could faintly hear the little girl trying to hold her breath.

Just then, a clear and energetic child's voice suddenly came close to the communicator, drowning out the background noise.

"Brother? Is that you, brother? You're done with your fieldwork? Was it fun out there? Did you see any large Devouring Beasts? Did you see any...?"

Is it Maido?
Hearing his sister's chattering voice, Hai Sang's fatigue vanished instantly.

A smile involuntarily spread across his face, and his voice softened: "Maiduo? It's your brother! The fieldwork is over, and I'm on my way back! Outside... well, it was quite interesting. I saw a lot of things, and I even brought you a gift!"

"Really? What's the gift?" Mydo's voice was full of excitement and anticipation.

Yang Chen's voice came in at the right time: "Alright, Maiduo, let your brother talk about the important matter first."

"Hai Sang, what's the matter?"

Hai Sang quickly reported, "Brother Yang, on our way back, we saw the lighthouse descending and starting its journey."

"About seven people have been released, in the mountains over there. So, would you like to bring them back with you?"

"Seven people?"

Yang Chen paused for a moment, then asked, "Is there still room in your car?"

Hai Sang immediately picked up his binoculars to check again, while simultaneously estimating the space in the carriage.

They brought two cars this time, so if they squeeze in...

"Seven... if we squeeze in, we can still fit them all," he answered honestly.

“Yes.” Yang Chen replied without hesitation.

"Then bring it back with you. Be careful, and contact me anytime if anything happens."

"Understood! Brother Yang!" Hai Sang perked up and replied loudly.

"Brother! Who are you bringing back?" Mai Duo's curious voice popped up again.

“Bring a few…new friends,” Hai Sang explained to Mai Duo.

He looked at the Awakened One in front of him and nodded: "Brother Yang said to take him back!"

The Awakener calmly gave a "hmm," turned the steering wheel, and the armored vehicle veered off the main road, heading towards the area where the lighthouse had landed.

The dust kicked up by the armored vehicles resembled a long, yellowish-brown dragon.

In the mountains and forests.

Seven figures huddled together in the chilly morning wind.

After retracting the lifting platform, the lighthouse climbed back up.

The six elderly people seemed to have already accepted their fate, and simply huddled together instinctively, walking aimlessly forward.

Benny gripped the simple metal frame tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, his eyes scanning the desolate wasteland around him warily, his body tense at the slightest sound of the wind.

He definitely won't get very far. If any Devouring Beasts appear later, he'll be the first to die.

"Something...something's coming!" A sharp-eyed old man suddenly pointed at the approaching dust and smoke, his voice trembling with fear.

Benny's heart sank.

A Devouring Beast? So fast?! He tried to move his body in despair, looking for cover.

But the prosthetic limb and bulky brace made it difficult for him to walk, and he almost fell over after a stumble.

“It’s not a Devouring Beast! It’s a car! There’s a car!” Another old man squinted his dim eyes, his voice filled with unbelievable surprise.

The armored vehicle came to a steady stop not far from the seven people.

The car door opened, and Wulan Haisang was the first to jump out, followed closely by Fang Yuan.

Both of them were wearing the combat uniforms unique to Dragonbone Village, and they looked travel-worn.

Hai Sang's gaze went to the lighthouse in the sky, then swept over the seven people in front of him, lingering for a moment longer on Benny, who was barely standing with the help of a support frame.

He said loudly, "Can you still walk? Get in the car, I'll take you away from here."

"This...this..." The old people looked at each other in bewilderment.

"The Lord of Light and Shadow is truly protecting us! He has sent His messengers to receive us!"

One of the old men had witnessed the miracle that occurred between the Lord of Light and Shadow and Charles on the ground.

And today.

Charles, as the head of the association, presided over the departure ceremony for the first time, and they received blessings as soon as they arrived on the ground.

An old man pointed at Hai Sang and said, "It's the Chief! The Chief has asked the Lord of Light and Shadow to protect us!"

The old man immediately knelt down and respectfully bowed to Ulan Haisang.

Seeing this, the other five also knelt down, muttering incantations.

"Light gives birth to all beings! All beings follow the shadow."

Ulanhaisang frowned, looking at the six people kneeling in front of him like an old man on the subway.

"What kind of bullshit Lord of Light and Shadow? I'm the Lord of Shadow!"

"Hurry up and get in the car, don't dawdle here. If you're not going to leave, then forget it," Ulanhaisang urged.

"If we attract the Devouring Beasts later, I'll leave you here as cannon fodder."

Intimidated by the Devouring Beast, the elderly people quickly stood up and shakily moved towards the armored vehicle.

Ulanhaisang and Fang Yuan stepped forward to help, gently assisting the elderly man, who had the most difficulty moving, to the back seat.

When it was Benny's turn, he tried to move the support frame himself, but his excessive tension and weakness made him clumsy.

One of the legs of the support hit a protruding rock, making it even harder for him to maintain his balance.

"I come."

Upon seeing this, Ulanhaisang stepped forward without saying a word, firmly supporting Benny's arm with one hand and grabbing him under the armpit with the other.

He said in a deep voice, "Relax, brother."

Benny felt as if he was being half-lifted and half-carried. Before he could react, Ulanhaisang placed him in a relatively spacious spot in the back of the carriage.

“Th...thank you…” Benny’s voice was dry and hoarse, and his eyes showed disbelief.

"Hold on tight," the Awakener shouted, and the armored vehicle turned around and sped off again toward Dragonbone Village.

The carriage was a bit crowded, and the elderly man next to me was muttering to himself.

The driver in front, Juexing, was getting annoyed by the noise and turned around to glare at the two elderly people.

"Stop reading it like that, did your big pot lid brainwash you or something? It's so annoying."

Meanwhile, Ulan Haisang reconnected with Yang Chen's channel via communicator.

"Brother Yang, everyone has been picked up and put on the bus. All seven of them are safe and sound, and they are on their way back."

He glanced at the people beside him and asked again.

"Should we take them directly back to the village, or send them to Village Number Two?"
