Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 194 193: Don’t order yet!

Ling Xiao stood at the edge of a lush forest, his gaze piercing through the layers of green leaves as he gazed toward the entrance to the deep crypt ahead. Sunlight filtered through the treetops, dappling his face and casting a mysterious glow over his resolute features. His heartbeat was steady and powerful within his chest, each beat akin to gathering strength for the coming battle.

Ling Xiao stood deep in the cavern. Strange fluorescent plants grew on the surrounding walls, emitting a soft glow that added a touch of mystery to the deep cavern. His heartbeat was beating steadily and powerfully in his chest, each beat seeming to gather strength for the upcoming challenge.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath. The air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and new leaves, a unique fragrance of nature, and a prelude to the Wood-attributed Cavern. He knew that this cavern was a place of trial coveted by cultivators, rich in wood-attributed spiritual energy, but also lurking unknown dangers.

His steps were light yet firm, each one akin to a dialogue with the earth, a pulse emanating from its core. As the entrance to the catacombs drew nearer, a faint sense of oppression crept in. It was a wood-attributed pressure, a silent warning to any outsider attempting to enter.

Ling Xiao's palm gently stroked the longsword at his waist, and a slight vibration echoed from the blade, as if responding to his touch. This sword had been given to him by his master upon his graduation. Its name, "Qingmu," perfectly matched the wood-attributed aura of the cavern. He could sense the power within the blade, a power connected to his bloodline.

Entering the cave, the light instantly dimmed, only the occasional flicker of fluorescent moss on the walls providing a faint glow. Ling Xiao's pupils constricted slightly as he adjusted to the light. His senses became exceptionally sharp at this moment, and every breath and heartbeat clearly conveyed information about his surroundings.

The cavern's interior was intricate, with passages crisscrossing like a vast maze. Ling Xiao, relying on his profound understanding of the wood element, advanced along the path with the richest spiritual energy. His footsteps made almost no sound on the damp ground, with only the occasional echo of falling water reverberating through the empty passage.

As he went deeper, the wood-attributed spiritual energy in the cave became increasingly dense. Ling Xiao could feel every cell in his body greedily absorbing this energy. His body was gradually enveloped by a faint green light, the result of the wood-attributed spiritual energy resonating with the power within him.

Suddenly, a deep roar shattered the stillness of the caverns. Ling Xiao's eyes instantly sharpened. He knew it was a warning from the monsters within. He gripped the Qingmu sword tightly, tensing all his muscles as he prepared for the coming battle.

The roar grew closer, and Ling Xiao could feel the ground shaking with the monster's heavy footsteps. He held his breath and waited quietly. Finally, a huge black figure appeared at the end of the passage, a pair of scarlet eyes flashing fiercely in the darkness.

This was a giant wood-attributed bear, several times larger than an ordinary bear, covered in hard wooden scales. Every breath carried a rich, wood-attributed aura. The giant bear roared furiously and charged towards Ling Xiao. Its footsteps shook the entire cave, as if even the ground was trembling beneath its feet.

Ling Xiao advanced instead of retreating. His body became incredibly light at this moment, like a leaf drifting in the wind. He brandished the Qingmu Sword, the tip of the sword drawing green trails in the air, intertwining with the giant bear's attacks.

The battle was fierce. Each of Ling Xiao's swords contained the power of wood, while each of the giant bear's attacks carried the force to shatter mountains and split rocks. The passageway reverberated with the clash of swords and scales, accompanied by the giant bear's furious roar.

Ling Xiao gradually found his rhythm in the battle. He began to use the environment in the cave to guide the giant bear's attacks, forcing it to crash into the solid stone walls. Each collision would slow the giant bear's attack, and Ling Xiao took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

As the battle continued, Ling Xiao's swordsmanship became more and more proficient, and he began to perfectly integrate the power of wood attributes with his swordsmanship. The Qingmu Sword seemed to come alive in his hands, and every swing brought the power of life.

Finally, during a fierce clash, Ling Xiao found the giant bear's weakness. Concentrating all his strength, he stabbed the bear's heart with his sword. The bear let out a deafening roar and slowly collapsed. Its body, the moment it fell, transformed into wisps of wood-attributed spiritual energy, dissipating into the cavern.

Ling Xiao stood there, breathing heavily, his body covered in wounds, but his eyes gleamed with a glint of victory. He knew that this battle was not only a test of the body, but also a test of will and skill.

He closed his eyes, feeling the flow of wood-attributed spiritual energy within the cavern. His body seemed to merge with the entire cavern at that moment. He could feel his cultivation level improving during this battle; his power was more refined, and his understanding of the wood attribute was deeper.

Ling Xiao opened his eyes, his gaze determined. He knew this was only the beginning of the cave trials, and more challenges awaited him. But he was ready, and no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, he would overcome them one by one.

Ling Xiao's gaze wandered through the cave. He could sense that this place was completely different from the battle sites he had previously experienced. The wood-attributed spiritual energy in the air was even richer, flowing slowly around him like a living being, caressing his skin as if welcoming him.

His steps were light yet firm, each one akin to a dialogue with the earth, a pulse emanating from its core. The caverns were intricately woven, with passages crisscrossing like a vast maze. Drawing on his profound understanding of the wood element, Ling Xiao followed the path richest in spiritual energy. His footsteps were nearly silent on the damp ground, with only the occasional echo of falling water reverberating through the empty passages.

The roar grew closer, and Ling Xiao could feel the ground shaking with the monster's heavy footsteps. He held his breath, waiting silently. Finally, a massive dark figure appeared at the end of the passage, its scarlet eyes gleaming fiercely in the darkness. It was a wood-attributed spirit beast, several times larger than a typical bear, covered in tough wooden scales. Every breath carried a rich, wood-attributed spiritual energy. The spirit beast roared furiously and charged towards Ling Xiao, its footsteps shaking the entire cavern, as if the very ground itself trembled beneath its feet.

Ling Xiao advanced instead of retreating. His body became incredibly light at this moment, like a leaf drifting in the wind. He brandished the Qingmu Sword, the tip of the sword drawing green trails in the air, intertwining with the attacks of the spirit beast.

A flicker of determination flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes. He knew that to defeat this spirit beast, he had to find its weakness. He began to carefully observe the spirit beast's every move, searching for a flaw in its attack. Although the spirit beast's attacks were ferocious, there was a brief pause after each strike, a moment when it adjusted its breathing and prepared for the next attack.

The spirit beast's attacks grew increasingly ferocious, each swipe of its claws accompanied by a shriek that tore through the air. Its wooden scales glowed green beneath the sword's gleam, as if a life force flowed through them. Ling Xiao's sword tip tapped the scales, making a crisp sound, and every contact sent green sparks flying.

Ling Xiao seized this opportunity. Before the spirit beast could attack again, he shot out like an arrow, his Qingmu sword drawing a perfect arc in the air, aiming directly at the spirit beast's throat. The spirit beast seemed to sense the danger, a flicker of fear in its eyes, but it was too late.

The Green Wood Sword accurately pierced the spirit beast's throat. A powerful wood-attributed force erupted from the sword's tip, instantly enveloping the spirit beast in a green glow. It let out a deafening roar before slowly collapsing. The instant it fell, its body transformed into wisps of wood-attributed spiritual energy, dissipating into the catacombs.
