Ding Meng's "Sacred Tiger Sun Palm" did not stop there. The image of the tiger head transformed into a sea of crimson Origin Energy in the air, drowning the Flesh-Eater like a flood. By the time the Flesh-Eater crashed into a mountain wall and fell down, it had already turned into a pile of white bones. The bones crackled and fell to the ground.
The red light disappeared, and the torrential rain continued. The forest returned to darkness, but the forest was deathly silent. After an unknown period of time, everyone turned their heads in surprise. They all looked at Ding Meng in disbelief. This kind of martial skill was something they had never seen before, and it was something they yearned for even in their dreams.
Ding Meng sighed. "It's okay. There are no more monsters here."
Elephant slowly walked over, and suddenly knelt in front of Ding Meng with a "plop".
Ding Meng was stunned. "What are you doing?"
Elephant no longer had the disdain and ridicule from before. His face was solemn. "Can you accept my kneeling?
I am willing to take you as my master. "
Ding Meng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You are an elder. How many years older than me? What right do I have?"
Elephant's face was still filled with sincerity. "The strong are respected. It is not shameful for me to be your disciple."
Ding Meng could only raise his head to look at Jun Ling. Jun Ling's expression was still cold and indifferent, but he nodded slightly. "Our tribe respects the strong. The strong are respected."
Ding Meng sighed. "Get up. If you want to learn this move, I can teach it to you in the future. However, you will need to have a Sensory Pod."
Elephant immediately revealed a look of ecstasy. He respectfully kowtowed three times before standing up.
The others looked at Elephant with envious expressions.
Little Arrow finally recovered from his shock. He walked over to Ding Meng's side. He still did not speak, but there was a trace of gratitude in his eyes.
The team quickly returned to normal, and everyone began to clean up the battlefield. These people picked up their weapons and dissected the corpses of the Flesh-Eaters. Their movements were far more skillful than a surgeon's, and the monsters' stomachs were cut open in just a few moves.
Just like Hong Da's group, this group of people also collected the bones of monsters. However, they did not collect all the bones. Instead, they selected the bones that were of higher quality. Ding Meng also noticed that they all collected one or two ribs from the monster's heart and put them into their backpacks.
However, Jun Ling did not make a move. She stood in front of the pile of bones that had been burnt by Ding Meng, deep in thought. Her expression was very solemn.
"What's wrong?" Ding Meng walked over.
Jun Ling's tone also became serious. "This is a small leader of the Devouring Monsters. It shouldn't appear in this outer area."
Ding Meng frowned. "This is still the periphery?"
Jun Ling nodded and said, "The outer perimeter is usually filled with ordinary Devouring Monsters. The group we encountered today is considered to be larger in number. I didn't expect that there would be a small leader among them."
Ding Meng said, "Is there a reason for this?"
Jun Ling sighed, which was rare. "Our race has been hunting on this planet for generations. I once heard my ancestors mention that this planet was originally a beautiful grassland and a vast ocean. I don't know when it started, but these monsters appeared on the ground. At first, there weren't many of them, but the strange thing is that they can't be completely eliminated."
Ding Meng said, "How long have they existed?"
Jun Ling shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but they have existed since my grandfather was still alive."
Ding Meng thought to himself that they had existed for at least a hundred years.
Jun Ling said, "Wherever they go, they will destroy the environment and pollute the earth. They will create the rainforest you see now. We call it the Endless Forest."
Ding Meng said, "Do you mean that their territory is extremely vast?"
Jun Ling's expression became more solemn. "Ten years ago, this place was still a beautiful grassland. But now, it has become their outer perimeter. They are like a virus that constantly nibbles away at our planet."
Ding Meng's expression also became solemn. "You have been fighting them for generations?"
Jun Ling's expression was complicated. "They are constantly getting stronger. There are more and more types of monsters, and they are becoming more and more difficult to deal with. Also, their intelligence is gradually increasing. After so many years of fighting, there are only a dozen of us left."
Ding Meng said, "How big is their territory now?"
Jun Ling glanced at him. "With Health Town as the center, this is the last grassland. If we continue to be defeated, we can only live on the ocean."
Ding Meng was shocked. "How did they expand so quickly?"
Jun Ling said, "It's because of the God's Stone. The God's Stone can make us stronger, but it can also make them stronger."
Ding Meng said, "Why don't you ask for help from the outside world?"
Jun Ling shook his head helplessly. "The places they pollute will produce a very special shielding. The starship's radar can't see anything at all. Moreover, this place is too remote. Professor Zeng also gave us a suggestion after he came here."
Ding Meng said, "What suggestion?"
Jun Ling said, "If the monsters attack Health Town, everyone will have to leave here. Of course, our tribe will definitely fight to the end. We will never surrender."
Ding Meng sighed. He could understand Jun Ling's feelings. To Jun Ling and the others, Madison was their home. After a long period of war, their home had been invaded bit by bit. Their family and friends had died in battle one after another. Seeing that there was only one piece of land left, how could they leave at this time?
Especially this kind of fighting tribe. They would rather die than flee. Fleeing was more shameful than dying.
Ding Meng sighed. "But if this goes on, Health Town will fall sooner or later."
Jun Ling nodded. "Actually, I have other plans. If it falls completely, I will bring everyone to the God Wars Starfield to learn the high-level martial arts and cultivation methods of you psionicists. When we are strong enough, we will come back to reclaim our lost land."
She was still a little smart. There was no such thing as going all the way. Sometimes, one could not be too stubborn when it came to fighting. If one could not win, one had to pay attention to strategy. A moment of anger would lead to a bloodbath.
Ding Meng looked at her. "Thank you for telling me this."
Jun Ling said, "I told you before. We are on the same side."
"Oh?" Ding Meng smiled. "You trust me that much?"
Jun Ling also revealed a faint smile. "Do you know why I trust you?"
Ding Meng was curious. "Why?"
Jun Ling said, "When I asked Little Arrow to give you the knife, I noticed that the calluses between your fingers are very thick. Your skin is yellowish with a tinge of black, and the texture is rough and smooth. I think you are an expert in swords and sabers. Also, you have a strong murderous aura. Many people must have died in your hands. Although I don't know where you came from, I know that you are the same as us."
Ding Meng could not help but smile bitterly.
Jun Ling frowned. "Why?
You don't believe me? "
Ding Meng sighed. "You are right. Sometimes, the monster is not close, but you can feel it nearby. It is grinding its teeth and drooling. The dangerous aura on its body is murderous aura."
Jun Ling revealed a look of admiration. "I said, we are the same."
Ding Meng changed his words. "From Health Town to here, the distance is really not close. You said this place is the periphery, but from what you mean, it seems that we are going deeper?"
Jun Ling said, "We usually hunt in the periphery, including Hong Da's group. Almost every time, we can wipe out the Devourers in the periphery. However, the rainforest area has been silently expanding. We can't even feel when it expanded. Moreover, there are more and more Devourers. Logically speaking, their reproductive ability should not be so strong."
Ding Meng hesitated. "You mean …"
Jun Ling was deep in thought. "There must be a deeper reason behind this. Our ancestors couldn't destroy these monsters. I'm thinking that we definitely didn't destroy their core."
Ding Meng understood. "You want to destroy their core?"
Jun Ling shook his head. "If they have a core, with our strength, we may not be able to destroy it. But at the very least, we should know where the core is.
What is it?
What did they do with the missing God's Stone? "
Ding Meng was silent. He had a feeling that if they continued to move forward, they would encounter more dangerous situations. However, Jun Ling and the others were a fighting race. Once they made up their minds, it was difficult to change them. It was useless to persuade them.
At this moment, the battlefield had been cleaned up. Jun Ling clapped his hands. "Everyone, get ready. We will set off immediately!"
Ding Meng thought for a moment and turned on his wristwatch. The signal jamming in this place was indeed powerful. He couldn't even see anything on the screen. He could only hear Makoto Fuuma's voice. "We're following behind you, but the terrain you're in is too complicated. There are too many trees in the sky, making it difficult for the radar to scan everything. We can only maintain a distance of five kilometers to maintain communication with you. If you continue forward, communication won't be guaranteed."
Xue Yue Mountain's voice quickly sounded. His tone was very serious. "I just saw the video you sent back."
Ding Meng said, "Is this place the Devourer's World?"
Xue Yue Mountain said, "I am not sure. It can be said that it is, and it can also be said that it is not."
Ding Meng was surprised. "Why?"
Xue Yueshan said, "There are many places here that are similar to the Devouring World. From the perspective of you humans, the first thing is the pollution. This rainforest was originally a grassland, but it definitely became a rainforest because of the pollution. However, the difference is that its poison is very strange. It doesn't cause much harm to the human body, but it has a huge impact on the environment. This point is very different from the Devouring World. I'm guessing that if you continue forward, the terrain should have a qualitative change."
Ding Meng could not help but turn his head to look at Jun Ling. "You heard it too?"
Jun Ling returned to her cold expression. "Let's move forward!"
Ding Meng was a little helpless. Xue Yue Mountain comforted him. "It's okay. Let's move forward. I am also very curious about the terrain ahead."
