Ling Cage: Many Children, Many Blessings - I Became the Head of Dawn

Page 39

At this moment, Ran Bing was struggling, but because she had nowhere to grab onto, she was unable to get back to the driver's seat.

She fainted as the world spun around her.

Qin Song quickly stabilized the glider by piloting the mecha.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Ran Bing slowly opened her eyes, glanced around in confusion, and turned her head to see a familiar face, which startled her so much that she almost lost her balance.

"Don't move!" Qin Song flicked her forehead.

"W-why are you here?"

This was the first time Ran Bing had ever been so close to a man, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Qin Song laughed and said, "Weren't you having a lot of fun just now?"

Ran Bing shifted her body to a more comfortable position, "Mind your own business!"

"Say thank you."

"Thank you!" Ran Bing playfully stuck out her tongue.

A strong wind blew, and Ran Bing looked down at the earth, spreading her arms wide. "It's so beautiful! I wonder what the world was like before the apocalypse."

Qin Song smiled slightly, "Would you like to experience the feeling of real flight?"

How do you fly?

"Come on, close your eyes and slowly stand up."

Ran Bing stood on the glider's footboard and slowly got up, but her hands were still tightly gripping Qin Song's arm.

"Trust me." Qin Song slowly opened her arms and gently grasped her waist. "Open your eyes."

Ran Bing slowly opened her eyes, and then a strong excitement filled her whole body.

The enormous setting sun hangs far in the sky, while mountains and rivers rush past beneath our feet.

The glider beneath my feet was gone too.

"I really am flying!"

Qin Song felt that at this moment, they should play "My Heart Will Go On" to recreate a classic scene from Titanic, since the two of them were actually flying.

He had already stored the glider in his system space, and at this moment he was wearing Iron Man armor, carrying Ran Bing in flight.

Ran Bing turned her head to look at the face so close to hers, and said very earnestly, "Thank you!"

They experienced a sweet duo match, landing on a high peak.

"I will climb to the summit and look down upon all the mountains below." Qin Song admired the beautiful scenery before him.

This is the charm of the apocalypse; even though the land is desolate, the blue planet still spares no effort to show its splendor.

Ran Bing let the breeze caress her, took a deep breath, and thought, "If only time could stand still at this moment."

All was quiet, there was no life or death, no Devouring Beasts, how peaceful.

"That day will come." Qin Song took out the glider.

Ran Bing looked around in confusion, "Where did you get this from?"

"It's a secret! You go back first, I have something to do."

"Where are you going?"

"Go and scout out the movements of the Devouring Beasts."

Ran Bing's eyes lit up, "I'm going too!"

"Stop fooling around, the sun is about to set, and the ground is very dangerous."

"I'm not afraid!"

Qin Song thought for a moment. Since it was just a reconnaissance mission, if they encountered a herd of beasts, they could simply fly away.

"Okay, hug me."

Ran Bing blinked. "Can I still fly like I did before?"

Qin Song shook his head. The Mark 7's jet system wasn't a vector engine, so it couldn't fly upright like a sword immortal. He had been flying sideways just now, which was quite strenuous.

Ran Bing leaped up and clung to the mecha like an octopus.

The hot breath tickled Qin Song's face, and Qin Song subconsciously turned his face away.

Ran Bing thought the other person disliked her, and angrily pressed her cheek against Qin Song's even harder.

Qin Song's lips twitched. "Be gentle, you've broken my neck."

This woman was blessed with his attribute points, making her incredibly strong.

"Hmph! Who told you to look down on me?"

"Is it my fault?"

"It's your fault!"

Amidst the commotion, the mechs sped away into the distance.

Half an hour later, Qin Song found nothing and was about to leave when Jarvis suddenly sent a notification: "Energy fluctuations detected, suspected to be a large beast horde."

Qin Song immediately perked up and sped towards his target.

This is a deep, secluded valley.

The valley is surrounded by manna plants, which are estimated to be at least a hundred meters high, making it impossible to see the specific details.

Without hesitation, Qin Song quickly descended the altitude.

The valley was not as dark as I had imagined; the Mana flowers emitted a faint glow, illuminating the valley as bright as day.

Passing by a giant mana flower, Qin Song took out his chainsaw and chopped it down, then cast a blessing spell.

No willpower was recorded.

Qin Song secretly shook his head. This Mana Ecosystem was also cunning; it wouldn't leave the life essence on the plant.

What puzzled Qin Song was that he had not found a single Devouring Beast along the way.

The magnetic field here is severely disturbed, making it impossible for Jarvis to perform a large-scale scan.

Just as Qin Song was about to launch a few missiles, he suddenly sensed something, looked up, and was immediately jolted awake.

Above, hanging upside down in the dense forest, were countless Devouring Beasts, creatures never seen before.

It has a four-horned head, a blue face with fangs, and only one eye. It resembles a bat with a human face and is larger than a snake-dog.

Most importantly, those Devouring Beasts all have a pair of bone wings on their backs.

“These should be flying Devouring Beasts,” Qin Song clicked his tongue.

Ran Bing was utterly shocked.

The lighthouse had never encountered flying Devouring Beasts before, and the consequences would be unimaginable if these Devouring Beasts attacked the lighthouse.

Before she could speak, the flying Devouring Beast slowly opened its single, scarlet eye.

Around that single eye grew a dense ring of barbs, which was extremely eerie.

A deafening roar suddenly echoed from the depths of the dense forest.

The flying Devouring Beasts all looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Qin Song's heart stirred.

Something big must have happened inside, otherwise the Devouring Beast wouldn't have given up its prey.

Could it be a King-level Devouring Beast?

Just then, the ground began to tremble slowly.

Groups of snake-dogs and earth-roaring beasts surged in from outside, while the one-eyed Devouring Beast above began to spread its wings and flap.

Ran Bing's expression changed slightly.

They were surrounded.

As the roars ceased, the beasts instantly turned their heads and locked onto Qin Song and his companion.

"Chirp!" A sound resembling that of a bat rang out.

The next second, the beasts opened their claws and pounced on the two.

"It's over!" Ran Bing instinctively closed her eyes.

The Scepter of Redemption suddenly appeared in Qin Song's hand, and countless golden rays shot out in all directions.

Missionary Skill: Holy Light Judgment!

A series of shrill screams rang out as a large number of one-eyed Devouring Beasts fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of this brief pause, Qin Song said, "You go back first!"

Ran Bing opened her eyes and saw Iron Man armor being quickly put on her.

"Jarvis, take her back to the lighthouse."

Qin Song planned to go deep into the dense forest to take a look.

"No..." Before Ran Bing could finish speaking, the mask had already covered her face.

Flames erupted as the mech sped away.

Chapter 51 I will take action

The Devouring Beasts were not interested in Ran Bing. In their eyes, Qin Song's life essence was dozens of times greater than Ran Bing's, like a million-watt light bulb.

After the mecha flew out of the valley, Qin Song hid behind a pile of stones and activated his Return to Origin state.

The herd of beasts stopped abruptly, tilted their heads in confusion toward Qin Song's location, and then galloped into the depths of the dense forest.

Qin Song peeked out from behind the pile of stones and quietly followed them.

This place isn't far from the lighthouse, so there must be a reason why those flying Devouring Beasts aren't attacking it.

"Could it be that it's ruled by some high-level Devouring Beast?"

When the Devouring Beasts become powerful enough, they develop intelligence and break free from the control of the Mana ecosystem; this is an inevitable consequence of intelligent life.

Ran Bing kept saying, "Take me to save Qin Song!"

However, Jarvis remained unmoved.

“I’m sorry, ma’am, my priority is to get you back to the lighthouse.”

Ran Bing tried to struggle, but because Jarvis had taken over the mecha, she couldn't move at all and could only watch herself keep getting closer to the lighthouse.

"Asshole! Asshole!"

Ran Bing was on the verge of tears.

Qin Song must have deliberately stayed in place to attract the Devouring Beast in order to save her.

The Iron Man armor landed in Qin Song's dormitory, and Ran Bing immediately rushed out of the room and turned on her headset to contact Mark.

But Mark didn't seem to have a communicator with him, so he couldn't be contacted for a while.

She then contacted the lighthouse control room.

"Jingnan, quickly send someone to rescue Qin Song."

In the control room, Jing Nan jumped to his feet. "What's going on?"

"Qin Song was besieged by the Devouring Beasts on the ground."

"how do you know?"

"I was brought back by his gravity. He stayed there to save me. Hurry!"

"Wait a minute, I need to consult the city lord..."
