Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 113: Greed and Pride
"Ah..."

The shrill roar was drowned in the grand flames.

In the blazing flames, a black human-shaped shadow was hunched over, with its limbs struggling to grasp the ground.

But he couldn't even hold on for three seconds before he collapsed to the ground exhausted and became a "charcoal" that could only twitch.

"call……"

A trace of heat dissipated from Ling Xiao's mouth, but the scorching spiritual power was still brewing in his mouth.

The explosive effect of [Breath of Flame] was beyond his expectations.

But it's normal.

After fighting with enemies of various strengths for a long time, he experienced many brutal and dangerous battles against enemies of higher levels.

Sometimes Ling Xiao really can't adapt to the intensity of normal games or even low-end games.

original……

I'm already so strong!

In fact, during the previous promotion mission, he discovered the extent of his own strength through battles with other explorers.

But it wasn't obvious then.

After all, although the explorers who were able to enter the dungeon at that time were a bit watered down, their value was still quite high.

But after killing the Korean man and the Japanese woman with his own hands, an invincible "momentum" accumulated in his heart.

The subsequent two victories over powerful tyrants made it stand firmly on its feet.

Then came the setbacks in battle.

Even the defeat and death in dreams that were as real as reality could not interrupt this "momentum".

Instead, it becomes sharper.

Keep your weapon hidden and wait for the right time to act!

To describe it in some childish words, I have now embarked on the path of becoming a truly strong person!

Possess the "heart of a strong man" that is indomitable and everlasting!
The frogman raised his head with difficulty, even though most of its organs had been burned into foul-smelling cooked meat.

But it still struggled to stand up and wanted to "look" at the man.

Paji——

Ling Xiao has no habit of listening to people's last words.

There was fire in his mouth ready to explode, and the energy under his feet was stepped down directly.

A ball of steaming brains crumbled on the sole of his shoe.

Such brutality made the stall owner watching the show nearby couldn't help but exclaim "Oh".

"Tsk tsk tsk! So handsome!"

The latter first gave a thumbs-up, then said with regret: "The skin of this thing can be used as medicine, and the whole thing can be used to make hot pot. Especially the brain flower, it is very valuable."

"If you step on it like that, your status will be undeniable, but you'll lose more than half of the purchase price."

"what?!"

Ling Xiao shook off the murderous aura that permeated his body and looked at the pool of water under his feet.

Some regrets.

But not much.

After all, a dead enemy is a good enemy. Even if the money is less, it is better than losing your life.

Just be gentler next time you catch this kind of frog...

"Wow! So grand!?"

The stall owner looked in surprise at the roasted frogman that was pushed to his side.

Ling Xiao didn't keep the secret and said directly, "You are an expert, so give me an estimate! If it's suitable, I will sell it directly!"

With an expression of appreciation on his face, the stall owner did not disdain the pool of hot rotten meat. He stretched out his left hand like lightning, pinched something with two fingers and pulled it out.

It was a hideous meat core emitting a strange luster!
There was no need for him to explain, Ling Xiao's eyes had already given the corresponding information.

Greedy Beast Core

In the taskbar, another additional item flashed with golden light.

The killing record of the monsters in the [Seven Deadly Sins] series has also been opened.

Including the spider woman who died in his hands before, Ling Xiao has unlocked both types of exotic beasts.

However, the specific number of kills was not indicated, so he could only do his best according to the situation.

"This thing is a real treasure!"

The stall owner flicked his fingers without any reluctance and threw it to Ling Xiao.

"Throw it in your backpack first! That thing is just like your takeout box. Once it goes in, it's yours and no one can take it away!"

"There's no performance review for salvagers, but if they get enough 'catch' at night, they can receive benefits from the cleanup department."

"Wait until the registration is settled before selling it to me. You can make two profits from the same thing!"

Ling Xiao also knew this rule.

There are top-notch essential news in the APP.

But the fact that the stall owner took the initiative to point out the problem and return the items to him undoubtedly laid a good foundation of trust for both parties.

At least in the recycling business, Ling Xiao can cooperate with it if nothing unexpected happens.

"Thanks for the reminder, sir!"

The meat core in his hand trembled slightly as if it was still breathing.

The dark luster on it keeps flowing.

Ling Xiao casually threw it into the backpack next to him, and there was no need to collect the remaining frogman bodies.

"This stuff is worth some money! But I'm too lazy to pay."

The stall owner took one look at the tattered corpse and stopped looking, returning his gaze to the river.

"But I can give you a suggestion. Throwing this big lump down to make a nest should be quite effective!"

"We must take the advice of our seniors into consideration!"

Ling Xiao didn't ask any more questions.

He was quick to follow the advice and gave it a kick.

“Hey! Tsk!”

The stall owner felt a little regretful. "Why are you so impatient? Young people nowadays are already moving their hands before they finish talking!"

"Chop it up and sprinkle it in for a better effect! What a waste it would be to just throw it in!"

"My my..."

puff-

The surface of the river was slapped by the huge underwater object.

The ripples and waves rolled, attracting the gazes of those around who quickly changed from surprise to jealousy.

"A big shipment coming!?"

The stall owner suddenly jumped up, still muttering in surprise, "This is really working!?"

Ling Xiao didn't respond, but quickly grabbed the scoop net at hand.

no way.

The struggle just now had broken his fishing line, so he had to use a scoop net as an emergency measure.

"Stop using that standard garbage!"

The stall owner didn't even look at it, but just raised his toes and a harpoon rose in front of Lingxiao.

He quickly grasped it in his hand.

Ling Xiao didn't waste any words. He and the stall owner just stared intently at the increasingly noisy river.

This section of the river is near the bridge piers.

The light from the street lamps was blocked a lot, so it was very dim.

But how could a tough guy who can become a "salvager" be affected by this factor?
Dark green fins glided across the water, and a few tentacles were briefly exposed to the air.

Eating underwater seems a bit too intense!

Ling Xiao stretched and tightened his five fingers, his body instinctively relieving the nervous tension caused by high concentration.

"Do it!!" Without the stall owner's reminder, Ling Xiao himself discovered a great opportunity!

A huge creature has surfaced, and it looks like it's just the tip of the iceberg!
It was all just minor fights before.

The two people on the shore waited until the prey showed enough of its body before launching a thundering attack almost at the same time!
The harpoon shot out!

Even though there is no spiritual bonus, are the tools brought by the stall owner just ordinary things?

Out of courtesy, Ling Xiao didn't even attach his inner energy to it.

But the power is enough.

With his 13 points of strength and 17 points of constitution, the harpoon left a shadow and shot into the water, accurately hitting the twisting cargo!
The feeling of penetrating flesh was transmitted back as the chain straightened.

Ling Xiao wrapped his arms around the harpoon twice and grabbed the chain connected to the back end.

He started to wrestle with the huge underwater goods together with the stall owner next to him who had also hit the target!
"Young man, are you really trying hard? Why do I feel like I'm the only one fighting it?!"

The stall owner next to him was so angry that his face turned red, but Ling Xiao really had no ulterior motives.

"Brother, you're going to do the hard work! I definitely want to get rich too!"

For a moment, the two of them were in a tug of war with the hooked prey.

The truth is that most of the big guy's body is still in the water, so he can exert force calmly.

But Ling Xiao and the others did not dare to relax at all.

If you use a little more force, it might escape.

The salvagers who had been hiding far away also slowly moved closer.

I don't know what he is thinking.

The stall owner got anxious and yelled, "Get out!"

At the same time, Ling Xiao felt a chill on his back and his hair stood on end.

Because he was keenly aware of some extremely ferocious creature erupting around him, the terrifying momentum almost made him instinctively want to dodge.

Of course, he was still the master of the body, but the chain in his hand became dull for a moment.

Fortunately, he didn't have to work hard.

The stall owner was very powerful.

Not only did he stop others who wanted to take advantage of him, he also used his supernatural powers!
The arms, which had been relatively normal, suddenly became a little thicker, and a dark golden light flowed into the water along the fishing line.

The fish hook lights up and is clearly visible even through the night and the water surface.

The only part of the hook that disappeared was the part that was embedded in the prey's body!

The dark golden light echoed from afar.

Ling Xiao suddenly felt that the chain in his hand had lost its strength.

To be precise, he doesn't need to put in any effort!

After the stall owner showed his true strength, the underwater prey was pulled out of the water almost instantly!

The prey exposed to Ling Xiao's sight was a giant octopus with strange patterns all over its body! ?

The tentacles were thick, long and slippery, with countless evil spots of light on them.

Even Ling Xiao felt dizzy when his eyes met with it.

"Come up!"

As the stall owner growled, the octopus's huge body drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground behind the two of them, accompanied by water droplets.

There was a loud noise, but it looked like he wasn't seriously injured.

While Ling Xiao was surprised, he also heard a cry of surprise coming from not far away.

"What the hell!? It's this damn thing, and there's more than one! They'll have their work cut out for them!"

"Busy? If you don't clean it up, you might die! Move it further away, or your blood won't splash on me!"

"Should we notify the commissioner? If this thing comes ashore, it might cause some trouble..."

"None of our business! You really think you're a public servant! Just watch the show!"

……

His eyes blurred and Ling Xiao suddenly realized that he had seen it wrong.

Not one, but two evil octopuses!
It’s just that they were hugging each other before, but now they were thrown apart.

The prey that was caught ashore showed no sign of giving in even after its true intentions were exposed!
Peng——

A streak of black blood exploded from the side of the octopus's head, which was a sign that the harpoon was pushed out of the body.

The harpoon, without external force, could not penetrate the opponent's body as firmly as a fishhook.

The two octopuses propped themselves up from the ground, their eyes filled with human-like hatred.

After looking at the two enemies, he rushed over directly!

"I'll take care of the big one! You deal with the small one first!"

The stall owner didn't explain much, he just picked up the fishing line and pulled it to the side, pulling the big octopus further to the side.

His face looked solemn.

Ling Xiao looked at the smaller octopus rushing towards him, without any hope of success.

With a flick of his wrist, he pulled back the harpoon that was flying in the air.

The strong energy covered it without hesitation.

No passive waiting.

Ling Xiao is lying on the water not far behind him, there is no way to retreat!

He held up a harpoon burning with blood flames and strode towards the little octopus!
"Buzz!!!"

The high-pitched, shrill cry seemed to only affect his own mind.

Ling Xiao's vision suddenly blurred and his steps stumbled unnaturally.

This kind of impact that directly affects the soul level is something that others would not be able to withstand!
It's a pity that Ling Xiao now attaches great importance to the protection of the soul level!

Ever since he was knocked unconscious by the soul-touching damage during safe time, this mysterious level has become his main target of protection!
With [strong will] acting as an unshakable reef in the "tide", Ling Xiao's soul hides in the back, remaining calm and sober.

The abnormal state will be cleared quickly.

The octopus's physical attack has already arrived!
Several tentacles covered with slippery mucus came whipping hard!
Judging from its strength, anyone who gets hit will be seriously injured if not killed!
The staggering steps did not affect the body's balance.

Ling Xiao held the harpoon in both hands and used the two sharp blades at its tip to fight the enemy!

After the [Wind and Fire Madness] was unsealed, he already had some moves to use.

The red flame energy swept out a series of blade beams, and swung forward with a combo of wind and fire!

Octopus didn't expect Ling Xiao to recover so quickly, and all his sure-hit attacks were intercepted halfway.

The sharp blade entered the body and the tentacles were cut off in mid-air!
Ling Xiao broke through the opponent's offensive and continued to charge forward without stopping!
Such a violent gesture made the stall owner not far away couldn't help but take a glance.

He didn't expect the young man to be able to handle the situation himself. He just wanted to stop the octopus.

After all, this thing is considered to be quite difficult to deal with among the "characteristic species" of Wuding River.

Who would have thought?

Young people nowadays really do what they say they will do! ?
And it seems like he can even win! ?
It seems that I still underestimated him...

laugh--

The harpoon pierced the octopus's body, and the soft touch bounced back, forcing Ling Xiao to stop.

The charged attack could only penetrate the opponent's body, but couldn't even penetrate.

And around Ling Xiao, dense evil tentacles brought down evil winds!
boom!
Explosions were heard from the center.

The tentacles that had been encircling the area were torn to pieces by the terrifying impact!

Ling Xiao, who was standing in the same place, was unharmed, but the internal energy in his body was a little thin.

Who says that Wind and Fire Blast can only be used to detonate enemies?
The place with the most energy is definitely your own body!
This tactic, which is almost like "self-destruction", was a suggestion that Qi Heng came up with one day on a whim.

Ling Xiao was not afraid of causing himself to injure himself, so he tried to control the intensity.

It works!
And the killer move he is using now is also the first time he uses it in a formal battle!
The effect is remarkable!

Except for the tentacles that support its body, most of the octopus' organs that can be used for attack were directly destroyed by Ling Xiao's "self-destruction".

An expression of pain appeared on that ugly face, and the resistance to the harpoon also decreased sharply.

Without hesitation, Ling Xiao endured the emptiness in his body and exerted all his energy!
puff-

Just like a piece of extremely tough leather being cut, the octopus was cut into two pieces at an angle!
Along with large amounts of black blood spurting out, a meat core that was flashing with dark purple light was quickly retrieved by Ling Xiao!

[Arrogant Beast Core]!
