Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 149: Picking up someone on the road, snow falling at night (daily)
A living person! ?
This thought that emerged so smoothly made Ling Xiao feel a little stunned and puzzled, even with his well-trained mind.

He has many assumptions about possible accidents.

But whether it is the new news in the channel or the personal experience in these days.

Ling Xiao didn't even know there was a third possibility of "meeting other survivors."

To be precise, there should be only one!
That is through the guild.

Whether it is a convergence teleportation of the same guild or a duel between different guilds.

After all, we need the [Guild] channel.

But the facts are right in front of us.

There is a high possibility that a living stranger is lying behind that small hill!

But this isn't necessarily good news...

He informed the camp of his experience.

As the number one on the list, Ling Xiao naturally has the cost of "trial and error".

A mere anomaly frightened him so much that he became hesitant and somewhat looked down upon the value of this number one spot.

But confidence is confidence, but caution is essential.

Ling Xiao held up a long sword and turned his perception and Qi defense to the maximum.

After repeatedly perceiving with [Spatial Echo] which was not restricted by vision, and confirming that it was indeed a "person".

Only then did he reach the hillside.

【Eye of Secrets】A sweep.

What a survivor!
And they came from other collapsed regions!
[LV20: Holy Light Priest [Crocodile]]

Ling Xiao's perception has reached a certain level. Just now, because they were too far away, he could only confirm that it was a human.

Now standing next to this unconscious man, I can already sense the strength of his breath to a certain extent.

Life is very strong...

But the situation is not very good, and the threat it poses to myself is almost non-existent.

Considering the profession listed before the other party's nickname, he is most likely a support type specializing in healing.

of course.

When approaching the unknown, you can never be too cautious!

Ling Xiao did not act rashly.

He only took out a fire-attribute ore and threw it beside Crocodile's crouching face.

Take some photos and send them back to the rear.

Let Ye Zhanqing and others discuss it first.

The stakes are high.

If there is one, there will be two. There may even be a large number of completely unfamiliar survivors nearby...

This isn't a story of friendship where you pick up a random stranger and immediately accept him into the team.

The weird world is scary, and the various monsters are hard to deal with.

But Ling Xiao knew:
The human heart has both fervent loyalty and cold insidiousness!

When he encounters a monster, even if it is an identical humanoid monster, he will kill it without hesitation.

Because as long as it is a monster, the safest way is to kill it!

But for this kind of stranger.

Killing him directly is too extreme.

Unsuspecting, so stupid.

You just have to be careful in approach and be cautious in testing.

If his guess was correct, this survivor named Crocodile should have escaped from further north.

Because his clothes were very thick, his inner armor could be seen through the torn holes, and there was still traces of formed frost in the folds of his clothes.

Ling Xiao could already imagine what he had been through.

Although he has LV20, combat may be his weakness.

So after the original area was forcibly disbanded and teleported to area 6103, it directly entered the new version of [Thousand Miles of Ice].

This unlucky guy lost the help of his team and had to survive on his own.

He might also be trying to apply to join the existing guilds, but these guild leaders are not fools, as they have been able to maintain an organization until now.

Looking to recruit?
There is no shortage of familiar nicknames in Area 6103, some of which are disbanded local guilds providing "fresh blood" to the "talent market".

Why would they gamble on someone from another district and a complete stranger?
Even though Crocodile's level is as high as LV20.

But that's why.

For people who are wary in their awe, it is easier to just refuse than to watch a professional gamble.

A powerful outsider might even shake their original position...

But this has no effect on Ling Xiao.

Because he is currently the strongest and has the same prestige.

If you are truly strong, you naturally don’t need to worry.

The reason why Ling Xiao was willing to help was actually because the Eye of Secrets did not see that red light on this person.

This means that this LV20, who is at the same level as him, has no lives on his hands.

Much cleaner than Lingxiao...

In fact.

If the other party woke up and saw Ling Xiao, a killer with a red glow, standing in front of him, he would probably be the one who panicked the most...

The mind follows the heart, and the words follow the law.

People wake up.

Crocodile seemed to be lying on the beach chair again in a trance, enjoying the lively sunbath.

A bit dazzling...

A little burning...

The blurry double image gradually becomes clear as I blink my eyelids.

He looked at the incandescent object in his field of vision in a daze.

The frozen body slowly restarts.

Crocodile raised his hand and touched the thing, which was a very hot stone!
Oh!
If you lie there a little longer, your face might get burned!

He struggled hard to turn over, twisting his face to an angle, and at first sight he saw the young man with a knife standing not far away.

There was some curiosity in his eyes, but the thing in his hand pierced the holy light in his body and made it wail and sound the alarm!
[Eye of Identification] is performed skillfully.

Bringing back a somewhat familiar nickname and scarlet light!

LV20: Monster Hunter [Owl]

WTF! ?
Could it be the powerful one ranked first?!

Coupled with the dazzling red light, the danger and deterrence are maximized!

They seem quite welcoming, but perhaps not very hospitable...

All shock, no joy.

Monster Hunter
Their eyes met, Crocodile didn't dare to make any unusual movement, let alone pretend to be unconscious.

He had no choice but to maintain this somewhat funny posture and carefully considered whether to speak first.

"Hello! Mr. Xiao! Thank you for saving me! I am..."

[Sky Scout] somewhat exposes its own abilities and characteristics, so Ling Xiao changed his professional title to [Monster Hunter] after awakening to the second level.

He listened silently as Crocodile tried to organize his words to express his friendliness and gratitude.

Silence can put psychological pressure on the other person, and sometimes it can reveal more information than asking actively.

This was also the first time Ling Xiao encountered such a situation.

After receiving the plan discussed by Ye Zhanqing and others, he had no better ideas, so he just followed it.

So far, it seems that the effect is pretty good...

After a while, Crocodile was caught in a verbal fight.

There is really nothing to say.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao was also very interested in his experiences in his original region, which gave him an opportunity to continue expressing himself.

"I think I heard it,"

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, looking at the guy's miserable state with some pity, "You are really unlucky."

Crocodile almost cried when he heard this extremely powerful man express sympathy for him.

Bitter!

He is really suffering!
In fact, Crocodile's initial awakening innate talent is a bit aggressive.

But after looking around, he still wanted to take a gamble.

The result was that I risked my life to save up copper coins for a long time and exchanged them for an extremely powerful auxiliary talent.

When the time was up, the store refreshed, and the talent ball never appeared again.

He could only rely on his "replies" with a wide range of effects to get along with the big guys.

Then the region disappeared...

Overall, it sounded similar to what Ling Xiao had guessed.

But this did not make him let down his guard.

Not long after sending all of Crocodile's statements to Ye Zhanqing and the others, a specially designed interrogation template arrived from the back. This was a set of questions and answers designed based on the information revealed by the other party.

There are other confusing questions in between.

After a series of quick questions and answers, you can tell from Crocodile's expression and answers whether he is hiding something or has evil intentions.

The results are currently without any errors.

Crocodile seems to be quite honest.

Maybe he doesn't have so many thoughts and is just a poor kid.

But be careful when sailing.

Ling Xiao was willing to sacrifice a little time to pry something out of his mouth.

Information is always the most valuable resource...

……

"Then I'll take him back!"

Qi Heng, who deliberately finished the last part in slow motion, was also preparing to return to the camp with Crocodile after saying goodbye to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao can sense a large range.

But for the real danger.

Still not big enough.

He asked Qi Heng to bring people back so that he could free himself up to check the entire area.

This person might be the bait for fishing. Even if the [channel] is the fishing line, the fisherman can't be too far away.

Worry more than you worry.

Only when the risk is eliminated can we say "it's unnecessary"...

Qi Heng started his return journey according to the agreed route and speed, while Ling Xiao released his full speed and wandered around the two of them.

After exploring a large area on the map, he returned to the camp.

"Oh! Thank you! Thank you! Kind man!"

Crocodile licked his cracked lips and drank the steaming broth eagerly.

Even though his mouth was burning, he couldn't bear to spit it out.

After taking a sip, the wandering soul seemed to finally return to the body.

Looking at his pitiful appearance, Ling Xiao didn't know what to say.

It seems... a little too tragic, right?
But then I thought about it.

Suddenly I was put into an extremely difficult environment, in the north where the temperature is even lower.

A lone wolf without a guild to rely on, and his own combat effectiveness is also questionable.

Not only did this guy survive, he was able to run all the way south to where he was discovered!
From this perspective, Crocodile's luck is quite good!
The task of interrogating him will be done by smart people like Li Xiang.

just in case.

Qi Heng did not go out and subtly played the role of "intimate elder brother".

He held Crocodile's hand and listened to the latter's crying with empathy.

I picked up a "person" while out.

Ling Xiao didn't stay for long. He simply checked the progress of collecting supplies and set off again.

There is still some time before dark.

He wants to explore the north again!

……

……

"Brother Xiao is back!"

"Pan Zi, come here quickly! You have new men!"

After driving back more than 30 icefield snow cattle, Ling Xiao handed them over to Pan Hong for taming. He nodded to the members passing by from time to time, and then went straight to the "meeting room".

In fact, it is just a few simple stools.

A few guild leaders can just gather around the campfire to start.

"We've checked Crocodile, and there shouldn't be any problems."

Ye Zhanqing said, "The guild has been upgraded. His talent and profession are both very good, so staying here will be a great help."

"I checked it, and if you think it's okay, then you can stay."

Ling Xiao nodded and did not reject Crocodile's joining.

He is not a "negative personality".

There is no need to build authority by blindly opposing.

And he himself is not suspicious.

It's just for the sake of the guild that we must develop the habit of being vigilant at all times.

Since it has been checked and there is indeed no problem, Ling Xiao naturally doesn't mind having another comrade-in-arms.

He trusts comrades who have been investigated and tested more than his compatriots!
"Have you collected all the ordered supplies?"

He looked at Su Jinxi, "Especially fire-attributed ores, what's the current market price?"

After simply reporting two figures, Su Jinxi answered clearly and quickly, "We've collected all the requested amount, and we've even collected 20% more fur materials."

"There are no longer any large quantities of fire-attribute ores on the market. They just hang up signs and wait for people to chat privately and wait for the price to be set."

“How many times has the price increased?”

"By about 3 p.m., it had already increased tenfold,"

A trace of depression appeared on Su Jinxi's smooth and pretty face. It seemed that she was upset when she was buying supplies.

"At 6 pm, 20 times is just the price for capital verification. The actual transaction will be ripped off."

"Fuck! Twenty times!"

Qi Heng was shocked when he heard this and cursed angrily: "Robbery is not this exaggerated!? If they are so cruel, why don't they sell ditch?"

"Selling it to you?!"

Ling Xiao said impatiently, "It seems that some people are still too full."

"What little brains I have, I use them all to plunder..."

Several people were familiar with Ling Xiao's temper and could hear the resentment in his words.

No one was surprised by this.

Ling Xiao is perhaps the person most qualified to condemn such behavior.

To know.

Earlier, this person was doing a "losing business" and was secretly called a "fool" by countless people.

Countless unscrupulous weapon dealers were beaten black and blue by his inexpensive and high-quality iron spears.

But now that the version has changed and the situation has changed, [Light of Green Mountain] can only prioritize self-preservation in the tide.

Those who want to get rich.

The desire that was originally suppressed by affordable goods now finds an opportunity, and the price increase is almost crazy!
"Merchants are driven by profit. If you offer enough copper coins, they will even sell the ore that will save their lives."

Ling Xiao only made one final summary and then skipped this unpleasant topic.

"What about the materials that can be dismantled from the shelter?"

He looked at Sister Tiechui and asked, "I didn't care about the cost when I repaired it. Now that I'm leaving, any money I can get back is good. It's still money after all!"

"Ok!"

Hammer's sister's twin ponytails swung, "Brother Xiao, I've already counted them, but they have to be dismantled when we move tomorrow."

"Oh, by the way, the camping tents have also been designed, and we've also made a prop for warning the surrounding area!"

"Well done!"

Ling Xiao never hesitates to give praise.

Because professionals do a truly beautiful job!
"What's that in the sky!?"

"Snow! It's snow!"

“It’s snowing outside!”

With a few shouts, everyone stood up and came to the wall.

It's getting dark.

The time on the watch was just past eight o'clock.

The sky couldn't wait and started snowing.

Ling Xiao jumped off the wall, walked to the edge of the "umbrella" and stretched out his palm.

As a southerner, he has rarely seen snow.

The icy snowflakes were instantly turned into water by the heat of his strong physique before they even touched his palms.

Lingxiao looked up at the sky and saw endless snowflakes falling from far above.

The coldness between heaven and earth grew stronger.

Ling Xiao's heart was also cold at this moment.

He knew it.

The explorer's level has reached the higher level of the second stage. How could the natural disaster that came be just a spreading cold wave...

The falling of snowflakes marks the true beginning of the Thousand Miles of Ice...
