Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 172 Chapter 171: Perfect Spellcasting! New Humanoid Monster?

The Snow Shadow Viper advanced silently, and in the distance was a rare and well-concealed "heat light".

As the top predator in this snowfield, it has not eaten such "high-calorie" food for a long time.

The more the other party hides, the higher the level of his life.

By killing it, you will have the confidence to hibernate and survive the most severe cold wave.

Snowflakes are falling.

Snow piles up.

After Ling Xiao stopped practicing and dispersed the wolves, it seemed as if only lonely rustling sounds remained between heaven and earth.

The Snow Shadow Viper crawled in a winding manner, suppressing its desire and patiently approaching its "prey".

The subtle noise it made as it moved through the snowdrifts was drowned out by the monotonous sound of falling snow that filled the world.

There is no doubt about this.

In the past, when it hunted, no prey could detect it in advance during the stealthy approach.

At most, they will start to struggle frantically after they have attacked and injected venom, causing troubles of varying degrees.

But in the end, without exception, they all died stiffly, their abdomens bulging and contracting again and again.

This one looks strange today, but once it's poisoned it should be easy to swallow...

Getting closer……

The muscles surrounding the spine began to accumulate strength, and the Snow Shadow Viper had already sneaked into the attack range. The prey did not show any abnormalities, but just casually turned towards this side.

But it's okay.

If the other party discovered him, he would definitely scream and jump away, but he didn't.

Now, I only need to charge up my energy to activate my ultimate skill. One bite...

boom! ! !
The grand flames rapidly enlarged in the Snow Shadow Viper's cold snake eyes and filled the entire field of vision!
Its instinct finally gave it a belated warning, but it was too late.

Moreover, the damage caused by this burst of fireworks is too high!
The Snow Shadow Viper hastily exerted its unprepared muscles, trying to move its body to avoid the powerful attack.

However, he was caught off guard by the surprise attack and was sprayed in the face with [Flame Blossom]. Even his remarkable scales and skin protection were instantly burned to ashes!
Along with the flesh, blood, and internal organs underneath!
Only the most essential bones survived the flames.

This was the result of Ling Xiao realizing something was wrong and stopping in time.

Mother!

It turns out that this is a serious magic output skill, and the damage is so explosive!
No wonder everyone wants to be a wizard.

Not only is he handsome (of course being handsome is also important), the key is that his strength is really beyond standard!

Ling Xiao, who was spitting fire and using the Eye of Prying, also saw the information before the attacker was killed instantly.

This Snow Shadow Viper possesses stealth-related talents and skills, but they are all ineffective in his "eyes".

Experienced the accident of the followers of the God of Snow and Frost.

In terms of perception and detection, Ling Xiao now keeps the [Ice Soul Field] open.

His recovery ability is extremely abnormal, and he becomes stuck once his spiritual power decreases a little.

Because spiritual energy is consumed all the time and recovery is much faster than consumption, such a strange form appears.

It may sound like a fairy tale to others, but this is just an insignificant peculiarity of Ling Xiao.

Today, he is not only terrifying in terms of combat power on paper, but similar abilities are the foundation for his dominance on the list.

[Ice Soul Field] helps Ling Xiao extend his perception beneath the snow layer, and all the cold air that has been soaked in his spiritual power becomes his followers!
This is the power of the domain!

And Ling Xiao has three such fields!

The reason why Ling Xiao allowed the Snow Shadow Viper to approach was because he was short of experimental materials.

Not only did he want to test the actual power of [Fire Flower Blossom], he also wanted to take the opportunity to verify the feasibility of the combat plan.

After all, [Fireworks] requires casting time. In a fierce battle, any pre-swing may be caught by the enemy and become the fuse of an accident.

Even if Ling Xiao can become more and more proficient in casting spells through practice and shorten the pre-swing, there will be certain risks as long as there is an initial action.

As an experienced (and cunning) practitioner, how could Ling Xiao tolerate such a serious flaw in his newly acquired powerful skills?
Since the pre-swing cannot be eliminated in a short time, make sure the enemy doesn't see through your opening move too easily.

The cold becomes the best cover.

Whether it is the crimson flame or the power contained in it, they can all be covered up by the [Ice Soul Field].

After charging, you don’t need to remove it manually, just directly destroy the layer of cold air that is responsible for covering it!
Gah——

The snake bones, still hot, fell into the snow, melting out a long and narrow "hole".

Ignoring the steam coming out of it, Ling Xiao reached out and put the only remaining spoils into his pocket.

Judging from the result of the failed sneak attack and being killed, this combination of skills of mine is pretty good!

[Talent plundering... Current success rate 99.6%...]

[Plunder successful! Talent - [Cold Poison Paralysis (Normal)] is ready! ]

After breaking through [Excellence], the success rate of [Gluttonous Heart]'s plundering has never dropped below 99%.
After being surprised, Ling Xiao fell into sorrow again.

The quality ceiling of derivative talents has also been upgraded.

He now has more than twenty [Excellent] level gluttons!
Ling Xiao, who had never held a girl's hand, skipped countless steps and experienced the pain of being a "young brat who eats my father out of money".

It’s really fun to watch them grow up and become stronger, but it’s such a pain to find “food” to feed them!

There are more than twenty talents that can be upgraded, and it is impossible to balance them evenly. A few must be upgraded to [Excellence] first.

Originally, the priority of [Potion Wizard] was not high, but after opening the two major categories of learning, potions and magic, in the Alchemy Notebook, the priority of this talent was set in stone.

The night is long, and only fire is my companion.

Consuming 100 points of spiritual power is not a big deal for Ling Xiao.

Keeping the remaining spiritual power always above 90%, clusters of surging and exploding flames began to burn tirelessly under the vast night sky.

……

It makes sense that the early bird catches the worm.

But Ling Xiao felt that there were too many roundabout routes.

He has no talent in magic, and his new skills are still at the excellent level, so Ling Xiao is mentally prepared to complete this assignment.

But one night!
He didn't even cast a perfect spell. Wasn't he a little too "stupid"?

During this period, Ling Xiao also consulted the Alchemy Notebook for some advice, but he only received praise for his diligence.

As for the evaluation of magical talent.

Ok……

It's a bit horrible...

It is suspected to be the remaining true spirit of Flamel. He likes Ling Xiao's attitude of studying hard, but he will not lie with his eyes open.

It seems that if you want to find your way without any talent, you need to rely on your proficiency.

"Damn it! No one's competing with me! What the hell am I even worrying about!?"

Ling Xiao looked at the world that was gradually becoming brighter, and suddenly laughed out loud at himself.

Then he was in a good mood and whispered to himself to cheer himself up:

"Isn't it just practice questions? I've been practicing since I was a child and I've never been afraid of anyone! At worst, every night will be yours from now on!"

"Little [Fire Flower Blossom]? I must get it!"

The team also "woke up" from its rest state.

Everyone was busy packing up the tents, and the kitchen staff was cooking in the big pot, with the aroma filling the air.

Ling Xiao suddenly thought that he and others had not eaten staple food for a long time.

Fill your stomach with high-energy meats of all kinds, as well as some weird but effective ingredients.

This really proves the famous saying: "What staple food do you eat? You can still feel full by eating meat!"

"This is for you, Brother Xiao! Drink it while it's hot!"

Ling Xiao took it with a smile, tilted his head slightly and swallowed the fragrant broth and the soft meat.

The heat rushed along the esophagus into the stomach, replacing the insignificant coldness and turning into a comfortable sigh.

"Of course! Your skills are getting better and better!"

"Of course I am. It's all thanks to Brother Xiao's good teaching!"

"Get lost! Are you ready to give me a compliment anytime, anywhere? I want to emphasize again that flattery is not tolerated here!"

"Oh! Brother Xiao's awareness is really not..."

Before Qi Heng could finish his stern and sarcastic words, he was stopped by a kick from Ling Xiao.

Everyone tidied up the ox skillfully, and the increasingly strong glacier snow ox consciously put on the bridle, controlled the speed and started to trot.

southward!

To the south... In the next few days, Ling Xiao also sensed some crazy people lurking under the snow while traveling.

However, after Qi Heng "sweeped" it out, he found no baptizer similar to Freud.

They are all ordinary believers who are still suffering in the blessing.

The well-trained fighters were able to deal with the problem without any surprises.

The convoy headed south, but the cold wave showed no sign of slowing down.

The relentless pursuit inevitably cast a shadow of gloom over everyone's hearts...

If life were to lie further south, it would inevitably have to face this endless and vast mountain range.

If the walking becomes more difficult after entering the mountains, their speed will be forced to slow down, and the cold wave will sooner or later overwhelm them.

By then, I'm afraid everyone will be buried in the mountains...

But as the convoy got closer, the mountains right in front of them seemed really unavoidable.

east?

west?

Both options are just a waste of time.

Ling Xiao has made the decision after discussing with several senior executives.

A mountain range cannot be an impenetrable "wall", there must be gaps between two mountains.

If you don’t find a flat, open valley, you can always spend another day expanding your exploration!
But only for one day!
If there is no better option, the buffer time you have worked so hard to gain cannot be wasted!

I can only rush in!

……

The night is dark.

It had been a long time since there had been a flash of fire on the snowy plain.

Ling Xiao raised his hand, and the flame surging in his palm seemed even more magnificent in his eyes.

Those are traces of the flow of elements, which are everywhere.

Especially the ball in his hand.

Sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing, the unified hot light spots dance like elves.

He didn't know how long he had been immersed in it, but suddenly he seemed to be able to see the traces and trends of their flying.

As Ling Xiao smoothly increased the spiritual power injection, the already formed flames began to fill up.

The elves are extremely active, eager to break free from their restraints and run towards freedom!

It's now!

He just moved his palm further away.

A gorgeous and violent firework suddenly bloomed, bursting with fiery colors into the sky!

Finally...success!

This is the perfect casting of [Fire Flower Blossom]!

Ling Xiao finally started working on his homework.

At this moment, he did not feel too surprised, but was just immersed in that wonderful and beautiful feeling.

The door to the magical world was truly opened for him...

……

The mountain pierces the blue sky with its tip still intact.

The sky is about to fall, and it relies on this to hold it up.

It was not until he reached the foot of the mountain that Ling Xiao could finally comprehend in his mind the magnificent scenery that he had only glimpsed in words.

Fortunately, when you get closer, you will find that those places that look unclear from a distance are actually very spacious valleys.

Against the backdrop of the towering mountains, the survivors looked so small.

The convoy stopped outside temporarily, and Ling Xiao walked into the valley alone.

His perception of space is not limited by his field of vision. Even if there is a corner at the end of the road, the situation behind it will be clearly reflected in his mind.

Go deep into the valley.

The surrounding vegetation slowly began to increase.

Although it is still sparse, it is much richer than the vast snowfield.

Of course, the number of active monsters also increased dramatically.

Ling Xiao did not start a massacre, but only cleared out the eyes that were secretly watching nearby.

There is much more to spatial perception.

But since the other party had no intention of coming over to fight, he decided to mind his own business.

After all, we have just arrived and probably don't plan to stay here for a long time.

Just borrowing.

When the situation inside the mountains is unclear, it is better to keep a low profile.

Ling Xiao's figure swept across the valley. With his current speed, he was able to quickly survey dozens of kilometers.

If possible, he even planned to cross the mountains directly!

Unfortunately, the planned exploration time is nearing its end, and the edge of spatial perception is still a narrow and long terrain.

Just as he was about to notify the convoy to go into the mountains and return to meet them.

Something has intruded upon the edge of spatial perception!
Ling Xiao didn't care at first, but then he immediately stopped and a serious look flashed across his face.

All limbs intact...walking upright...

Are they those weird believers called the Lost Hearts again?

Are they really coming from the south?
Could this mountain range be their lair?

Will there be more and more powerful believers emerging from the depths of the mountains?
For an instant.

Several bad thoughts flashed through Ling Xiao's mind, but they were all suddenly overturned!
and many more!

Something is wrong!

He has seen two types of crazy people.

They are followers of the Lord of the Swamp and the God of Snow and Frost respectively.

The initial mutations of the two are different, but both maintain a humanoid appearance.

But whether their bodies are filled with vines or hairy yetis, their movements are very "awkward".

Looks like a human but not a human.

You are just "moving forward" with your feet, which can't really be called "walking".

Once the critical point of alienation is reached, it will become a more bizarre but also more natural and reasonable way of movement.

So after seeing so many of them, Ling Xiao no longer regarded these former indigenous people as "people".

Having only the appearance of a human being is only temporary.

The inside is full of strange and weird things.

Destroy them as soon as you see them and completely eliminate them. This is Ling Xiao's only kindness to these indigenous people who were once fellow humans.

But the humanoid creature that appeared in his perception now was different.

The way they moved was different from the funny way the crazy people walked, just like Ling Xiao and the others!
Smooth...flexible...natural...

Sometimes they would gather in twos or three...

Moves freely and appears to be conscious.

Ling Xiao turned back and continued to extend his spatial perception outward until it covered all of this group of people.

Nineteen people...

If it's not the indigenous people, then it's most likely other survivors...

And they are the survivors of a large-scale cluster action...

Ling Xiao didn't hesitate too much. After sending the message back, he decided to "block" them first.

Whether it is direct contact or secret observation.

The appearance of this group of "living people" undoubtedly ignited a spark of anxiety in the snow and ice.

After receiving the reply of "Be careful", Ling Xiao's figure accelerated again and disappeared at the end of the valley bend...
