Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 176: Arrival at Alan Town, Mayor German
Along the way, Ling Xiao and Sartre had a pleasant conversation.

With powerful strength but humble attitude, Ling Xiao, a strange outsider, quickly won the favor of everyone.

The young people, led by Angelina, were active by nature. It was a rare opportunity for them to meet someone from another small town, who was so young, handsome, and powerful. They couldn't wait to ask Ling Xiao about the rumors in the north and the interesting things he had encountered.

At least I have survived in this world for some time.

If he met these lost souls after traveling through time, Ling Xiao really didn't know how to make up a lie.

But now his abundant combat power gave him enough confidence, and his past experiences were not fictional.

By reskinning [Light of Qingshan] into [Qingshan Town], the image of a happy and united human settlement emerged in the minds of these lost people.

"Mr. Xiao, thank you so much!"

Angelina is not a little girl who only knows how to cry. Growing up in Alan Town, everyone has an understanding of life and death.

She was just too sad just now.

Those killed were familiar members of the hunting party, some of whom had taught them.

It is hard for anyone to accept that a senior who was both a teacher and a friend died tragically with only his head left.

But Angelina has recovered.

Although his expression was still sad, he did not continue to be immersed in the torment of negative emotions.

She and Sartre sandwiched Ling Xiao on either side. Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she asked curiously, "The dwarf ape group just now was an absolute disaster for Yalan Town! But Mr. Xiao, you defeated them all by yourself. But even a warrior as powerful as you can't survive in the north?"

On the other side, Old Sartre did not stop Angelina from asking this slightly offensive question, and it was obvious that he also wanted to learn more.

"Alas...it's hard to put it into words..."

Ling Xiao revealed a bitter smile at the right moment, "First of all, I have to clarify that I am not weak, but I cannot be called powerful."

"Mr. Cai Dao, the mayor of our Qingshan Town, is the real strong man!"

Let me bring my buddy out first to pave the way and lower my own impression score at the same time.

In terms of single-round combat power, Ling Xiao is undoubtedly the number one among tens of thousands of people in the entire district.

But when you are out, it is better to be cautious about everything.

"The environment in the north is truly harsh, and there are all sorts of terrifying monsters. Our Qingshan Town simply can't hold on any longer."

"The number of people has dropped dramatically over the years. If we don't find a way around it, we might not even make it through this winter!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who was also facing a survival crisis felt sympathetic.

Some young people originally thought that they were just monsters, so why move further south?
But now, Mr. Xiao, who is so powerful, and his even more powerful companions are migrating south.

These people instantly felt that the mayor's decision was truly wise!

The group seemed to be chatting enthusiastically, but Ling Xiao found that Sartre and others did not contact him immediately.

After living in this deep forest for so many years, it is impossible for one's mind to be so defenseless.

But the more this happened, the more interesting Ling Xiao found it.

The lost souls are behaving more and more like "humans".

So far, he hasn't even found any suspicious clues from these people.

But Ling Xiao, who possessed the ability to see through secrets, was able to see through the origins of these lost souls from the very beginning.

The title of [Goddess of Light] is equivalent to drawing a target before shooting an arrow.

It is always more accurate to look for problems with the answer of "there is a problem" than to search randomly.

Soon, the view became wider and a man-made open space appeared in front of Ling Xiao.

We have arrived at Alan Town.

The confusion in his heart will most likely be answered here.

……

The outskirts of Yalan Town are very empty, and the area near the town is filled with sharpened wooden spikes except for the passage.

Two archers on duty in the watchtower were chatting, and one of them immediately screamed when he saw a group of people walking out of the edge of the woods.

The two men were instantly on alert, and warning arrows arced in the air and landed in front of everyone, warning the newcomers to stop.

Although they saw the beautiful Angelina and the familiar Master Sat in front of the team, they also saw Ling Xiao, a stranger.

So the older man signaled the young man next to him to ask some questions, while he stood next to the alarm bell to make sure it could be sounded at any time.

The young man holding a bow and arrow shouted, "Hey! Angelina! What's the command for Team Nine today?"

"Winter is finally over and spring is coming!"

"That's right! But I suddenly forgot the name of the guy who confessed his feelings to you when he was drunk last time. Do you still remember?"

"it's me!"

Gary stood up and cursed angrily, "Lebin, you son of a bitch! When I get back, I'm going to kick your ass with my boots!"

"No problem! Come back!"

Leibin whistled to the sentry behind him, then shouted in a relaxed tone, "Angelina! How was the harvest?"

"We don't have time to mess around with you. We have something important to discuss with the mayor!"

The group approached the watchtower. When Lei Bin and the other man saw the head in the basket, their faces changed drastically. They looked at each other and realized that this incident might really change the world of Yalan Town!
Dang Dang Dang——

The alarm bells keep ringing!

The town of Yalan entered a wartime state.

Many townspeople who were working immediately put down their work and rushed to their respective positions according to their daily training.

The men took up the weapons at hand, and the women divided into two groups. The tougher and stronger ones also picked up weapons, while the weaker ones rushed to the church to wait for the command of Priest Sansa.

Although no one knew the reason, no one thought the sentry's warning was a joke.

After instructing the sentry to ring the bell, Old Sartre took his group directly to the conference hall not far away.

That was the official meeting place of Yalan Town and also the "home" where the mayor lived for many years.

The fact that Yalan Town has been able to remain strong for so many years is undoubtedly due to the strong-willed and decisive iron-fisted leader.

And when Ling Xiao saw the mayor for the first time, he found that he was in line with his expectations of him.

His messy dark brown short hair was casually scattered, but it could not hide his sharp eyes. The neat stubble on the corner of his mouth added a bit of majesty to the mayor named Hermann.

Hermann naturally also heard the alarm and was hurried out with his sword slung at his waist.

The two sides met head-on.

Surprised by Ling Xiao's unfamiliar face, he instinctively grasped the hilt of his sword. Fortunately, his old friend, who looked solemn, was beside him. Germann then suppressed his anxiety and asked, "Sart!?"

"Did you order the alarm to sound? What on earth happened?!"

"Take a look first..."

Sartre waved over the team member carrying the head and replied in a heavy tone, "Something happened to the hunting team. There are casualties among the regular team members."

As the backpack was put down.

Hermann fixed his gaze on the scene and frowned, instantly realizing the seriousness of the matter.

"Satyr, when you were splashed with water while watching Sansa bathe, which eye was burned?"

"Shit! You're such a piece of shit!"

Sartre's face flushed inappropriately, but he quickly replied, "My eyes are fine! I dodged quickly, it's just my nose that's a little..."

"Oh! What the hell! Who knew the water temperature for a woman's bath could be so hot!?"

"go with!"

Hermann didn't care about his friend's loss of face and decisively ordered, "Send out a magic signal! Alert the other teams! Tell them to return immediately!" "What level of warning?"

"Highest!"

Old Sartre left in a hurry, and before leaving, he gave Angelina a look, indicating that she should help communicate with Mr. Xiao.

During this period, Ling Xiao remained quiet and had no intention of taking over the show.

He took this opportunity to observe the social functioning of the lost souls.

The conclusion is: Is this really not a human?

He knows how to interrogate people, how to use conversational traps, and how to record his friends' embarrassing moments for years...

The more he learned, the more doubtful and wary he became.

After Germann moved his eyes back from the backpack, he kept staring at Ling Xiao, but he still gave orders first.

"Gary, tell everyone to stay alert! A major crisis has occurred in Alan Town, and they need to stick to their respective duties!"

"Yes, sir!"

Then the mayor briefly learned about the recent shocking events from Angelina.

"The third... fourth... seventh teams have probably all been killed..."

A complex expression of grief and anger appeared on the face of the tough mayor.

Even with the mental fortitude cultivated by Hermann's years in power, losing three hunting teams at once was a difficult blow to accept.

But after a few breaths, his cold and hard expression returned to normal.

"Then...Mr. Xiao,"

Germann looked at Ling Xiao seriously, made way for him, and extended his hand to invite him, "As a pioneer from Qingshan Town, would you like to talk to me?"

"It's my pleasure, Mr. Mayor."

The members of Team 9 dispersed to inform various places, while Angelina stayed in the meeting room and brought steaming hot tea to the mayor and Owl.

"Bitter wheat tea, not very tasty but very refreshing,"

German simply swept away the pile of documents on the table and gestured for Ling Xiao to drink some hot tea to calm down.

"Alan Town has many specialties, but I don't have time to prepare them, so I can only ask you to try what I usually drink."

Ling Xiao took a sip and smiled, "It's really refreshing."

"Mr. Mayor, it's great to see you, really, it's great!"

The tea will naturally not enter the stomach.

In fact, Ling Xiao purified them all as soon as he closed his mouth, and the swallowing in his throat was just a feint to deceive others.

Just because he dared to come here alone didn't mean he was stupid enough to drink in an unfamiliar place.

Hermann nodded to Angelina, who was serving him carefully, took the tea and drank it in two gulps before getting straight to the point.

"Mr. Xiao, first of all, please accept my sincere thanks on behalf of Yalan Town! If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid Angelina and the others wouldn't be able to return..."

"Besides, we are completely unaware of the dangers. We will definitely be ambushed by those bastards. The situation will really be..."

He looked at Ling Xiao sincerely, "So, how can we express our gratitude to our distinguished guest from the north?"

"Or, is there anything you need us to do?"

This direct question really stumped Ling Xiao.

Because he really didn't know what the mayor needed to do.

He couldn't just tell Hermann that he was here to spy on military intelligence and find out about the Goddess of Light, right?
Although the purpose is clear, we can't be too direct at the moment.

After briefly organizing his words, Ling Xiao said sincerely, "Mr. Mayor, we have migrated from the north and are very happy to see you all."

"But we'd like to know more information, anything. Of course, I'm personally more interested in history."

Whether it is the background story of "Homecoming" or the earth-shaking battle and the majestic and luxurious castle in the dream.

Everything tells Ling Xiao that this world once had a "real" history.

There must be a process for mutation.

The Lost Minds and the Lost Souls should have been the natives of this world in the beginning.

Among the insane, Freud who can communicate is weird and terrifying.

The lost soul who looks like a normal person has become the breakthrough for him to trace history.

However, Ling Xiao also understood that there was definitely unimaginable horror hidden in it.

In other words, even a little dust from that hidden historical truth would be enough to crush him to death.

So Ling Xiao just expressed his interest, and his priority was to ask about survival and exploration in the valley.

Yalan Town has lived here for many years, and sending out a hunting team shows that they have also done some exploration.

These accumulated experiences are also very important information for survivors who are about to enter the valley.

After listening to Ling Xiao's story, German was a little dazed.

He lit a rolled tobacco leaf, and after the smoke rose, he realized it and waved his hand to apologize, "Oh, sorry, please let me know if you mind."

"Of course, this is also a specialty of Yalan Town. If Mr. Xiao wants to try it, I would be happy to treat you to one!"

"I don't smoke, but could you give me one for my collection?"

"Oh, it's an honor for it to be born."

Lifting up the hand-rolled leaf tobacco and looking at it, Ling Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Mayor, those pygmy apes will probably never make it big."

"Are there any other monsters worth noting in this valley?"

"have,"

Germann puffed away, pulled out an old, handwritten map from the corner of the table, and gestured, "We've explored quite a few places over the years. These, and... these, are the more dangerous demon nests."

"The words of the valley..."

He spread his palms helplessly and said, "Due to limited supplies, we haven't been able to get out of the south after so many years of exploration."

"But we did find several more suitable camping locations..."

"The mountain road to the north isn't far, but you're the only one who's come here in all these years."

"It seems my luck isn't that bad..."

Ling Xiao held the cigarette but didn't smoke it. Just as he was about to ask something else, he heard an urgent shout coming from outside the door.

"Mr. Mayor! The other teams are back!"

After dropping the topic, the two of them quickly arrived at the entrance of the town not far from the meeting hall.

The tense expressions on the faces of the many well-armed townspeople faded a lot after seeing Hermann, but then heated up again when they saw Ling Xiao, a stranger.

The camp gate was bustling with activity.

A tall and plump white-robed priest was casting a healing beam to heal the wounded.

Ling Xiao took the time to look outside and found that the returning teams were relatively well organized, except that one team was in a very tragic state with everyone injured.

With his extremely sharp perception, he caught sight of a man with a broken arm trying to say something to Hermann.

"Mayor..."

"The dwarf apes are going crazy! They have...higher-level monsters being born!"
