Although he looked different from when he came last time, wearing armor made of plants, he came from the same place and his actions were exactly the same.
With his help, perhaps the lighthouse could really overcome its difficulties.
Seng was also incredibly excited.
His ambition never prevented him from giving up any opportunity to climb the ladder.
Since discovering this mysterious expert, he has been observing from this spot almost every day, all in an effort to make contact with him.
If the lighthouse can be saved, then as the first person to contact the settlement on the ground, I will definitely deserve credit.
There's a chance we could connect with this powerful figure, which would elevate our status within the Lighthouse.
With this in mind, Seng continued speaking with anticipation, hoping to receive a reply.
"If you can hear us, please respond, we..."
Before the person on the other end of the lighthouse could finish speaking, Lin Yuan fired a wooden spike, shattering the communication device.
The parts scattered all over the floor with a clatter.
"what?!"
Hearing the piercing buzzing sound of the equipment malfunctioning, the people on the lighthouse were stunned, completely unexpected that Lin Yuan would do such a thing.
The meaning of this action is clear: a refusal to talk.
Their place is an aerial gathering place with tens of thousands of people, yet the mysterious humans on the ground have no intention of establishing diplomatic relations?
Even Bai Yuekui was somewhat moved at this moment, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
What's wrong with you...?
Although she had anticipated that Lin Yuan might refuse to contact the Lighthouse, she hadn't expected him to be so decisive.
Lin Yuan chuckled and explained, "It wasn't the kind of equipment I liked, so it just blew up."
There's no need to let the people at the Lighthouse know my identity yet. Otherwise, given the character of Charles and his gang, they might make wild guesses and come up with some wicked ideas.
For example, they could use public opinion to pressure the hunters into pleading for mercy, or try to coerce people they know.
Whether it succeeds or not, it will make people feel uncomfortable.
It would be better to wait until we have the capability to take over the lighthouse, then go up and wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Just proceed according to the original plan; there's no need to create unnecessary complications.
Lin Yuan raised his right hand and shot the wooden spikes covered in Amaterasu Black Flame into the Beast Mountain.
Kinetic energy boost, activate!
Lin Yuan used the power of kinetic energy enhancement twice in a row.
The wooden spikes were nearly two meters long. After being coated with blue light twice, their speed suddenly increased several times. Each spike carried a terrifying force and pierced deep into the beast mountain, even blasting out a small crater.
The armor formed by the vine-covered wooden figures attacked automatically, blocking the advance of the surrounding Devouring Beasts.
The dead Devouring Beasts were absorbed by the plants, and soon a green space reappeared.
Although the level 3 Heart of the Tree has limited plant strength, it can still withstand attacks from a small number of invasive Devouring Beasts.
During this lull, Lin Yuan unleashed wave after wave of Amaterasu Black Flames, burning the hundred-meter-tall beast mountain.
The Devouring Beasts roared incessantly, seemingly communicating with each other. Whenever a Devouring Beast was engulfed in black flames, it would immediately be forced to leave the Beast Mountain to prevent the fire from spreading.

Because Beast Mountain is higher than before, finding the large Devouring Beasts inside the mountain has become more difficult this time.
Fortunately, they found the location of the two-jawed beast in no time.
Then, under the cover of the plants, Lin Yuan successfully escaped the encirclement of the beasts.
"Well done."
Bai Yuekui smiled faintly and offered a compliment.
Don't be greedy, don't linger in battle, and leave immediately once you've achieved your goal.
Such reliable performance made Boss Bai appreciate Lin Yuan even more.
..........
On the way back to Longgu Village.
Lin Yuan opened the system panel while driving.
[Energy Source Points: 3596]
The next upgrade can now be performed.
After thinking it over, Lin Yuan finally decided to unlock a new eye technique to enhance the Sharingan's pupil power.
Ecology allows the Devouring Beasts to evolve into the Overlapping Beasts, a type of beast used to target the spiritual inducement in Dragonbone Village.
They probably wouldn't let their Amaterasu continue to burn like this.
Therefore, we need to unlock new capabilities as soon as possible to improve the Kaleidoscope's battery life.
They should also be working on understanding the origins of the Kloto system in Jingnan.
After all, the culprit that caused the lighthouse to hover was the Kloto system, but once the lighthouse was turned off, it would fall down completely.
If they can't come up with a solution soon, they'll probably volunteer to become experimental subjects for the conjoined brains of humans and Mana Primal.
This requires the use of spinal worms and the implantation of mana spores.
Everything is irreversible.
If we really do that, there will be no turning back.
Lin Yuan thought of Jing Nan, the intellectual and gentle black-haired mature woman.
If she were to try to connect to the Kloto system, who knows what would happen.
Jingnan treated me quite well when she was at the lighthouse, so I should get things sorted out as soon as possible and prevent her from going astray.
............
Sengge slammed his fist on the table in anger, "Are the humans in the ground settlements really this unreasonable?"
While cursing, Sengge didn't forget to turn off the radio so that Lin Yuan wouldn't come back. The radio on the ground wasn't completely broken, and Lin Yuan wouldn't hear what he said.
After finally getting in touch, they completely ignored me.
Jingnan stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Could it be a language barrier?"
After all these years, the living conditions of the survivors on the ground are extremely difficult. Perhaps for some reason, the transmission of the common language has been interrupted, and they are using some dialects or other languages.
“If it’s just a language barrier, it shouldn’t damage our communication equipment,” Charles said on the screen.
Upon receiving the news, he immediately contacted them and convened a meeting, but he never expected that the humans on the ground would so arrogantly refuse to communicate.
Fortunately, as usual, that guy destroyed the Beast Mountain with those black flames, slowing down the Devouring Beasts' progress in approaching the Lighthouse.
Although his purpose is unknown, he did indeed solve the lighthouse's immediate crisis.
At least we can prolong our lives for a while longer.
Thinking of this, Charles sighed and continued, "Perhaps he doesn't trust us. The ground environment is so harsh, and competition is inevitable. It's understandable that he would be wary of us."
"Could it be that Seng's voice is too disgusting?" Dr. Carrie suddenly laughed.
Sengge frowned: "You..."
Dr. Carrie glanced at the furious Senger, then gave him a provocative look.
She's never really liked this guy.
"It's obvious that the human in that settlement on the ground is a man, and he looks to be in his prime. How could he be happy to hear Commander-in-Chief Seng's voice? He's lucky he doesn't feel disgusted."
“Dr. Carrie is right. In the old world, hosts were usually chosen from women who were more approachable.”
Charles pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"If we can get in touch again next time, let Jingnan handle the communication."

"Let me... negotiate with that person?"
Jingnan was stunned for a moment, a vague unease creeping into his heart.
What if the mysterious powerful figure's settlement has a primitive culture and needs to use women as bargaining chips in exchange for their help to the Lighthouse?
Wouldn't the first person you come into contact with become the primary target?
However, if it truly comes to a point of no return, then for the safety of the lighthouse, one can only sacrifice oneself.
Jingnan gritted her teeth in a dilemma.
........
Lin Yuan carried Bai Yuekui all the way back to Dragon Bone Village.
Because he hadn't activated his Sharingan, Lin Yuan deliberately slowed down, but he was still going very fast, reaching speeds of nearly 180 kilometers per hour at his fastest.
In this terrain, most ordinary people would have already crashed.
"Your driving skills are indeed quite good. If this were the old world, you might be an excellent race car driver."
Bai Yuekui, sitting in the back seat, suddenly spoke up.
"Really? If I were born in the old world, the first thing I'd do is find you, Boss Bai, to race cars together and become like-minded racing buddies," Lin Yuan replied while driving.
"Do you just want to become my fellow car enthusiasts?"
Upon hearing Bai Yuekui's question, Lin Yuan's face immediately turned red.
What are you saying? If we're not going to become car enthusiasts, are we going to become... uh, running enthusiasts?
Is the eagle obsessed with the chicks?
Although I don't recommend it.
Bai Yuekui's lips suddenly curled into an ambiguous smile.
She had already figured it out when Lin Yuan first arrived in Dragon Bone Village and simulated her undressing in the illusion.
This young man usually seems quite proper, but he's actually a very lewd person, and inside he's incredibly lewd.
"We owe you a lot for your help with the beast tide in Dragonbone Village."
If it weren't for Lin Yuan leading the way to scare away the beast tide, Dragon Bone Village would most likely have suffered heavy casualties.
Almost everyone in Dragon Bone Village was very grateful to Lin Yuan.
"Of course, after all, Dragonbone Village is where I depend on for survival. If it really falls because of the invasion of the beasts, I will have nowhere to go."
Then, Lin Yuan changed the subject and said with a smile, "But let's keep things separate. I've made such a great contribution, is there any reward?"
"What reward do you want? Isn't building you a mech enough?"
Bai Yuekui smiled.
Lin Yuan laughed and didn't refute it.
Besides using the mecha "Dragon Abyss" as a mid-game transition tool, he also intended to collect it.
While it's still quite helpful now, it will be basically useless once the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is able to unlock the Complete Susanoo.
When that time comes, it will be kept as a memento, and people will look at it when they have time.
After all, life isn't just about the battles we face right now.
Therefore, Lin Yuan was actually quite satisfied with Boss Bai's gift.
Suddenly, Bai Yuekui reached out and hugged his waist, gently resting his head against her back.
"How about this reward?"
