Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 135:134: Broken Sword! A Monster That Speaks Human Language?

It is unknown how many years it has been since the Homecoming left port.

It's very old.

Judging from its appearance, at least from the materials that Ling Xiao has currently perceived, it should have sunk in the long river of time.

But under the secret influence of some or some strange force, it still floats on the sea.

As for why...

This is why Ling Xiao and the others came here.

Survive first, and then...find out the truth about why the crew members failed to return home!

"Brother Xiao, look!"

Sister Iron Hammer whispered excitedly but a little nervously, "There's a broken sword here!"

Following her outstretched finger, Ling Xiao saw a broken Western sword hidden among the tilted wooden barrels.

Strange to say.

Ling Xiao, who possesses [Spatial Perception], should be able to reflect the surrounding environment in his mind wherever he goes.

But the humid air currents on the Homecoming seemed to have some unknown magic.

Spatial perception is compressed to three meters around the body.

Ling Xiao concentrated his mind and extended it towards a certain place and was able to explore it.

It was only a short time after he boarded the ship when this abnormality gave him a warning.

"Be careful with the contact, let me do it."

He stopped the eager Hammer Sister and stretched out his hand.

On the damp wall in the corner of the room, tiny water droplets condensed and formed into larger streams that quickly converged.

As an outsider.

Although methods such as Gangqi can provide protection, it is hard to say whether they will trigger any chain reactions.

The rapiers were undoubtedly relics of the crew members. A preliminary observation would indicate that there was "water" in the cabin.

Through reasonable medium contact.

It is safer for both parties.

The water flow slowly lifted the broken sword up, presenting it steadily in front of the eyes of several people.

Seeing Sister Tiechui looking around with a thoughtful look on her face, Qi Heng couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean? Big sister, did you see anything?"

Sister Hammer turned her head to look at him solemnly, then shook her little head.

"No."

"I'll test it! Looking at your expression, I thought you had uncovered some clue. You made it seem like the real thing..."

Ling Xiao waved his hand, just to stop Qi Heng from talking too much but did not scold him.

This is not favoritism, but everyone is familiar with the latter's eccentric personality after being together for a long time.

Others also like to make fun of this president who has great abilities but also has a "great" way of thinking.

Ling Xiao, who saw all of this, even indulged himself on purpose, intentionally fostering this relaxed, intimate, and barrier-free atmosphere.

On weekdays he would also make do from time to time.

Now, of course, the clues in front of us are more important.

Without Ling Xiao asking any more questions, Sister Tiechui said solemnly, "You can't tell by looking."

"But Brother Xiao, I should be able to gain something by using my talent."

"Is the risk manageable? I mean your own safety."

Hearing Ling Xiao's concerned question, Sister Tiechui hesitated for a moment and then smiled brightly.

"Since crossing over, what have we survivors done without risk? I've been able to survive until now safely and grow so fast, all thanks to everyone's protection and help."

"I'm useless when you need me? That shouldn't be the case!"

Hearing this, Ling Xiao didn't say anything to persuade him.

He is not smart.

I can't give highly inflammatory speeches, nor do I know how to understand people's psychology...

Coming to a different world with no one to rely on, he longed to find companions to fight alongside him, so he made many money-losing deals that might have earned him the name "idiot".

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Ling Xiao wondered if what he had done had any meaning.

Later facts proved that he made the right bet.

Once upon a time, the evil of human nature destroyed the beauty in his heart.

Now, the brilliance in human nature has gathered into an ocean, illuminating his originally lonely heart.

Watching the noisy laughter and joy around the campfire became an eternal bright spot in Lingxiao's memory.

So he respects any member.

He trusted them, just as they trusted him, a green student, to become a powerful leader.

Blindly protect.

Not a true comrade.

"Well,"

Ling Xiao agreed in a deep voice, "Just go for it! Even if something unexpected happens, I will do my best to stop it."

Sister Hammer nodded heavily and approached the broken sword.

Thin golden threads extended from her fingertips.

One on the left and one on the right, slowly wrapping around the hilt and the broken blade.

A faint golden light surged like water waves, covering the entire broken sword.

Sister Hammer closed her eyes and felt it for a long time before finally exclaiming in surprise, "The original form of this sword... turned out to be an excellent-level equipment!?"

"And I can sense the location of the remaining two broken blades!"

She was about to say something when her eyes were suddenly covered with fear.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

"This part...isn't moving, but this part, why is it moving!? And so fast!?"

Broken Blade has grown legs?
This was the first reaction of the others.

This absurd idea was immediately rejected by reason.

From beginning to end, the broken sword they found did not move at all.

After Hammer Sister activated her talent, she was only able to sense the positions of the other two sword blades.

The hilt itself remains unchanged.

Then the answer is clear.

Someone, or something, was moving at high speed with the sword blade!
After listening to Sister Tiechui's additional description, Ling Xiao understood the problem after a simple estimate.

In other words, the nature of the target is confirmed.

monster!

Only monsters that belong to the Homecoming can shuttle between cabins at high speed with swords!
Haven't met yet.

The pressure brought by potential enemies has weighed on everyone's hearts.

"Brother Xiao...that moving creature is getting farther and farther away! My perception of it is starting to become unstable!"

Sister Tiechui's hurried report made Ling Xiao make up his mind.

Glancing at his watch, he quickly made his plans: "Sister Tiechui and I will lead the way! Qi Heng will be the rear guard! Ye Zhanqing and Su Jinxi will provide support in the middle!"

"Chase that moving target! Hammer sister, always keep an eye on the opponent's movements!"

"Be alert to any anomalies in your surroundings! Stop immediately if you notice any problems. Don't let any clues slip away!"

"understand!"

……

Open the hatch.

A broken sword controlled by a golden thread was floating in front of Sister Iron Hammer. She took the lead and trotted to chase it, with Ling Xiao following closely behind.

The three people behind him followed in battle formation.

The aisle of the Homecoming train, which had been silent for many years, suddenly became lively.

Boom boom boom… “Did you hear that too?”

Yin Meng tilted her head slightly and saw her companion nodding nervously.

Both his talents and profession are rare spiritual types, and Yin Meng can keenly perceive changes in the outside world without leaving his home.

His talent [Dream] is a first-class auxiliary gain in the spiritual field.

Healing, trapping enemies, killing, and guiding can all be achieved in the unpredictable spiritual realm, and even curses and attacks at this level can be prevented!

The strangeness of the Homecoming caused Yin Meng to closely protect the spirits of the other four teammates in real time.

now.

With his focused mind, he not only sensed the five fast-moving figures, but was also able to distinguish the two most powerful auras among them.

"Brother Meng, which team are they from?"

Yin Meng's eyes showed a strange expression, and he chuckled softly, "Such a magnificent group, it must be Xiao's team!"

"I don't think he's an impulsive person. I don't know what clues they found that caused such a big commotion..."

"In that case, I'll try harder too! Let's see what I can pry out of this guy..."

Two team members were guarding a strange monster with weapons in hand and in high alert.

It lay on the ground, but its upper body was erected against all odds, as if its spine could bend in the opposite direction.

The general shape is still human, but with many indescribable features:

The whole body is a disgusting dark green color, and the soft parts such as the abdomen are pale like blisters.

The arms, calves, and back are covered with scales arranged in disorder.

The surface of the body seemed to be covered with a layer of slimy water, and the gills on both sides of the neck were open and trembling constantly, emitting a strange fishy smell.

But even though the two guarding team members frowned because of the smoke, they did not dare to move the weapons in their hands near the monster's neck.

Because the monster's raised hands had transformed into sharp claws, with thick webbed feet between the claws, and the muscles all over its body tensed and relaxed, like the strange rhythm of water waves.

The most bizarre thing is the head that is a fusion of human and fish, with bulging eyes and extremely round and large pupils!
However, the bulging fish eyes had lost their focus, and the divine light tried to converge many times, but was dispersed under the influence.

That was Hidden Dream invading its mind, trying to dig out the secret of the Homecoming directly from the monster's brain!

But not long after, the young man who was originally confident suddenly shuddered, and a thick liquid mixed with yellow and green spurted out of his mouth!
He wanted to warn with a look of horror, but the vomit that rushed out took away his right to speak.

The team member in charge of guarding was first startled by the captain's abnormality, and his mind was inevitably distracted.

The monster that was about to be slaughtered under their knives had its huge protruding fish eyes gradually covered with a layer of scarlet blood.

“Ah…Ah!!”

The sudden scream broke the tranquility of the cabin.

Screams, growls, the clash of swords...

The dull thud of falling to the ground...

The brittle toughness of flesh and blood...

……

Rushing left and right, Ling Xiao followed Sister Tiechui and rushed all the way.

The latter kept muttering, "Almost there! Oh no! Oh no! We've gone around it again!"

That kind of nonsense.

Fortunately, several people acted decisively and quickly.

Even though the cabin had become complicated due to years of disrepair, their higher agility could still help them keep a firm grip on the "escaping" target.

The distance is getting closer and closer, and you can see it after turning the corner!

"careful!"

Before Sister Tiechui finished her exclamation of warning, Ling Xiao reacted instantly.

The extremely high six-dimensional attributes give him abnormal mobility, and several states allow them to be overclocked and perform smoothly!

In addition to braking suddenly, Ling Xiao was able to pull out his left hand and grab the Hammer Sister who was out of control around the waist.

Almost at the same time they stood firm, a black and green claw suddenly stabbed out from the corner!
"die!!"

With a low growl, the attacker, who had never appeared before, suddenly stopped his attack.

Although the sharp claws were still trembling and scratching, the time bought was enough for Ling Xiao to "gently" push the Hammer Sister aside, and then slash out with a sword light burning with blood flames!
A slender ray of lightning came from behind and arrived first, one step faster than the knife light and hit several targets!
The sharp claws curled up in pain, and it wasn't over even after two knuckles were broken off.

Because the knife light arrived.

puff!

The scales failed to provide any protection. Under the joint attack of the two strongest men in the area, half of the monster's palm flew off the body!
The green dirty blood spilled from the broken surface made Ling Xiao, who caught this scene, even more alert!

There is no need for the brain to think, the body has already taken action driven by fighting instinct!

The Iron Heart Knife was thrown out suddenly!

Who says a long sword isn't a hidden weapon?!
[Young Swallow Throws Herself into the Arms] used his cleverness in an instant, and the long sword flew across the attacker's forearm. The huge force penetrated directly into the cabin wall, nailing it to death!
Unexpectedly, the attacker was decisive.

boom--

Its body was dragged against the cabin wall. Seeing that its arm was trapped, it simply cut off its arm to survive!

The remaining claw swung violently, severing the connection between the upper arm and the forearm at the elbow.

However, the fact that Ling Xiao dared to throw out the Iron Heart Knife to defeat the enemy at the first moment meant that he was not that dependent on weapons!

He himself is the most terrifying weapon!

Another muffled sound!
bang——

Ling Xiao flew up and kneed the monster, which had just broken its arm and was leaning back in pain, and slammed it against the cabin wall again.

Although the Homecoming is extraordinary, it is not so luxurious that it is made entirely of precious wood.

The interior cabin was already "shoddily built", and now it had suffered repeated heavy blows, and it was directly broken under Ling Xiao's violence!

Ling Xiao, with his bare hands, pushed the monster all the way into the cabin!

For a moment, it was hard to tell who was the monster...

……

"Brother Xiao, if you ask me, we should remove the remaining arm first."

Qi Heng looked up and down at the monster trapped in the corner with a bad look.

The murderous gaze seemed to be exploring where to strike.

Ling Xiao said nothing, but looked at this strange monster he had never seen before with cold eyes.

For some reason, his spirit felt a similar sensation as before.

But not as direct as the Dark Sea.

This monster is like a book containing strange truths, "tempting" him to explore and interpret it.

Ling Xiao felt for some reason that it would be better not to delve into it further.

It's just that I finally got ahold of the thread of truth. Even though I know there is a problem, I still have to find the answer that is full of traps.

Sister Tiechui quietly tugged at the corner of Lingxiao's clothes.

Following her hidden finger, Ling Xiao caught a glimpse of a sword blade.

In the dim light, the dark green slimy surface made the seemingly uncorrupted sword blade appear bright and shiny.

Most of the sword blade slanted into the monster's left "chest muscle", and it was unclear whether it had pierced the heart.

If this humanoid monster had that organ...

But it seems that the owner of this sword was defeated in the end.

The monster was alive and appeared before them, its blade broken into several pieces.

The master must have already...

"What did you say? I don't understand and I can't hear you. I can't hear you at all!"

Qi Heng, who was in charge of the "interrogation", had no patience at all, and he saw that the monster kept muttering and roaring something.

Hearing the news on the spiritual level was useless, and he was about to try to correct it on the physical level, but he was shocked to hear the monster suddenly roar in human language.

It was extremely difficult to make out, but one could make out the pronunciation the monster was trying hard to twist back.

"Come on!"

“He has noticed you!!”
