Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 216 215: Don’t order yet!

The morning light appears.

The golden sunlight shines on the quiet town, and everything seems so peaceful.

However, at the edge of the town, a thick fog quietly spread, as if it was the entrance to another world.

Ling Xiao stood at the edge of the fog, took a deep breath, and felt the mysterious atmosphere in the air.

His eyes are firm and full of curiosity, as if he is looking forward to an unknown adventure. Ling Xiao is a young adventurer with long black hair and sharp eyes.

He was wearing a simple leather armor and had a short sword with a cold glow hanging at his waist. It was the only relic left to him by his father.

His father was once a great explorer who disappeared while exploring unknown areas and was never heard from again.

Ling Xiao has been determined to find his father's whereabouts since he was a child, and this fog may be the key to his search for answers.

"Ling Xiao, do you really want to go in?"

A voice sounded from behind.

Ling Xiao turned around and saw his good friend Alice standing not far away, her eyes full of worry.

"I have to go in, Alice."

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, his tone firm, "There are too many secrets hidden in this fog. Maybe we can find clues about my father."

Alice bit her lip and nodded: "Okay, but you have to be careful. If you encounter danger, remember to use this."

She took out a silver badge from her bosom and handed it to Ling Xiao.

"what is this?"

Ling Xiao took the badge and saw a flying phoenix engraved on it.

"This is my family crest. It possesses powerful magical powers. If you are in danger, just place it on your chest and it will lead you back to town."

Alice explained.

Ling Xiao nodded and carefully put the badge away: "Thank you, Alice. I will be careful."

After saying that, he took a deep breath and stepped into the fog.

In an instant, everything around became blurred, and the vision was blocked by thick fog, and only a small area in front of me could be seen.

Ling Xiao slowed down his pace and walked forward cautiously, holding the dagger tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

There was an eerie silence in the fog, with only Ling Xiao's footsteps echoing in his ears.

He could feel an oppressive atmosphere in the air, as if something was secretly watching him.

His heartbeat gradually quickened, but his eyes became more determined.

"Come out, I know you're here."

Ling Xiao suddenly stopped and said loudly. Just as he finished speaking, a low roar came from not far away.

Then, a huge figure slowly emerged from the mist. It was a giant wolf, its body covered in black hair, its eyes like two burning flames, emitting an evil aura.

Blood-red saliva was dripping from its mouth, and it was making low roars, as if warning Ling Xiao not to come near.

Ling Xiao gripped his dagger tightly, crouched slightly, and entered a fighting stance. He knew that this would be a difficult battle.

"Come on, monster."

Ling Xiao roared, and the short sword drew a cold light in the air, going straight for the wolf's throat.

The wolf roared, leaped up suddenly, and pounced towards Lingxiao with its huge claws, making a sharp sound.

Ling Xiao dodged quickly, and the dagger slashed across the wolf's abdomen, leaving a deep wound.

The wolf howled in pain and took a few steps back, his eyes flashing with anger.

Ling Xiao didn't hesitate at all and rushed towards the wolf again with his sword. This time, he aimed at the wolf's head and stabbed it with his dagger with great force.

The wolf let out a shrill howl, fell heavily to the ground, and stopped moving.

After the battle, Ling Xiao was panting and wiping the sweat from his forehead.

He could feel his body trembling slightly, but his eyes were full of excitement.

This was the first time he faced such a powerful monster alone, and he succeeded.

"It seems that I still have room to grow."

Ling Xiao muttered to himself. At this moment, his body suddenly emitted a warm light, and a powerful force surged from his body.

Ling Xiao was surprised to find that his body was changing.

His strength and perception had increased significantly, as if the battle just now had given him some mysterious power.

"What kind of power is this?" Ling Xiao wondered, but he soon understood. This was the power of the fog. Every time he defeated a monster in the fog, he would gain experience and become stronger.

"So, this fog is not just a dangerous place, it's also a testing ground for growth."

Ling Xiao thought to himself.

He stood up and continued walking forward.

He knows that there are more secrets waiting for him to explore in this fog, and he will continue to grow in this mysterious realm until he finds his father's whereabouts.

The fog is like a thick curtain, shrouding the entire world in haze.

Ling Xiao walked carefully through the fog, taking every step with extreme caution.

His breath formed a white mist in the cold air, and his heart beat strongly in his chest.

He could feel that there were countless dangers hidden in this fog, but also endless opportunities.

Just as he continued forward, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook slightly. Ling Xiao immediately stopped, gripping the dagger tightly in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.

He scanned the fog, trying to find the source of the vibration.

However, he could see nothing except the dense fog.

"Who's there?"

Ling Xiao asked loudly, his voice echoing in the fog, but there was no response.

At this moment, a faint light flickered from not far ahead.

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and observed carefully, and found that the light seemed to come from the ground.

He walked forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution.

As he got closer, the light grew brighter, until he finally saw a massive stone archway, engraved with ancient runes and emitting a mysterious glow.

"what is this?"

Ling Xiao whispered to himself, his heartbeat quickened, a strong curiosity drove him closer.

He reached out and gently touched the rune on the archway. The rune, upon contact with his finger, suddenly glowed with a dazzling light, as if activated by some mysterious force. Ling Xiao felt a surge of powerful energy flowing from the rune into his body, and ancient images emerged in his mind: a vast castle filled with treasures and powerful magic, and at the center of the castle, a sword radiating endless light.

"This is……"

Ling Xiao looked at the archway in front of him in shock. He realized that this was not just an ordinary relic, but a place that hid powerful power.

At this moment, the archway suddenly made a low roar and slowly opened to both sides.

A dazzling light shot out from the door, enveloping Ling Xiao completely.

He felt a powerful force drawing him in, as if an invisible force was calling him.

"I have to go in."

Ling Xiao thought to himself as he stepped into the archway.

Inside the door was a huge circular hall, the walls of which were inlaid with various gems, emitting a soft glow.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge sword. The sword emits dazzling light, as if it is an eternal light source.

Ling Xiao was deeply attracted by the sword. He walked slowly towards the sword, and every step he took seemed particularly solemn.

"Is this the divine weapon my father was talking about?"

Ling Xiao thought to himself, his eyes fixed on the sword.

At this moment, a deep voice echoed in the hall: "Welcome to the ancient ruins, brave adventurer."

Ling Xiao turned around suddenly, but saw nothing.

The sound seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible for him to determine the source.

"who are you?"

Ling Xiao asked loudly, his voice echoing in the hall.

"I am the guardian of this relic. I exist to protect the artifact until it finds its true owner."

The sound came again, clearer this time.

"The real master?"

Ling Xiao frowned, his eyes falling on the sword again.

"Only those who pass the trial can become the master of the artifact."

The voice continued, "Are you willing to accept the trial?"

Ling Xiao didn't hesitate at all. He nodded and said, "I do."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong light suddenly surged in the hall, enveloping Ling Xiao completely.

He felt a powerful force enveloping him, and his body began to tremble slightly.

He knew it would be a difficult test, but he was ready.

The light gradually faded, and Ling Xiao found himself standing in a huge maze.

The walls of the maze are made of black rocks and exude a cold atmosphere.

He scanned the maze, trying to find the exit.

"Only by finding the exit can we complete the trial."

The voice rang out again, this time even clearer. Ling Xiao took a deep breath and stepped into the maze.

He knew it would be a difficult challenge, but he was ready for it.

The waves gently lapped against the hull, making a soft gurgling sound. Ling Xiao stood at the bow, his gaze piercing through the mist, gazing at the gradually clearing land ahead.

Above the dark sea, the fog never dissipates all year round, and this island is like a secret garden hidden in the fog, full of unknowns and mysteries.

"Is this the legendary Dark Sea Island?"

Ling Xiao muttered to himself, his voice filled with a hint of excitement that was hard to conceal. Beneath his feet was an ancient wooden boat, its hull polished smooth by time, yet still sturdy.

This was an unmanned ship he encountered in the fog. It seemed like fate allowed him to get close to this mysterious island.

The ship rocked gently with the waves, as if telling an ancient legend. Ling Xiao held a short sword tightly in his hand, the only relic left to him by his father.

The sword flashed coldly in the sunlight, as if reminding him that the road ahead was full of dangers.

His eyes swept across the island again, and saw that the island was lush and green, with tall and ancient trees, as if they were witnesses of time.

However, in this green ocean, there was an eerie silence, as if everything on the island was waiting for his arrival.

"No matter what lies ahead, I'm going to explore." Ling Xiao took a deep breath, his heart filled with determination. He untied the ropes and gently pushed the boat, slowly approaching the island beach.

As the ship got closer, he could feel the power of the waves growing stronger and stronger, as if the sea had its own will, trying to stop him from getting closer.

However, Ling Xiao didn't flinch. His gaze remained firm, his heart filled with a desire for the unknown. Finally, the boat landed smoothly on the beach. Ling Xiao jumped off, the sand beneath his feet soft and warm, as if welcoming him.

He looked back at the old wooden boat, a surge of gratitude welling up in his heart. This boat not only brought him to this mysterious island, but also gave him an inexplicable sense of security.

"From now on, it's up to me," Ling Xiao whispered, a hint of determination in his voice. He turned and walked into the unknown forest.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves onto the ground, forming spots of light that seem like embellishments of nature.

However, as he went deeper, the sunlight became scarcer and the surroundings became darker. There was a damp smell in the air that made his skin feel slightly cold.

"There must be some secret hidden here." Ling Xiao thought to himself, his eyes scanning the surroundings, trying to find any possible clues.

Just then, a slight breeze blew by, and the leaves made a rustling sound, as if whispering.

Ling Xiao stopped, gripping the dagger tightly in his hand, and looked around vigilantly. His eyes scanned the bushes, trying to find any signs of abnormality.

However, he could hear nothing except the rustling of leaves. "Maybe it's just the wind." Ling Xiao whispered to himself, trying to comfort himself.

However, his intuition told him that there was some danger hidden in this forest, so he continued to move forward, taking every step with extreme caution.

He scanned the surroundings, trying to find any clues, but he could see nothing except the thick fog.

"No matter what lies ahead, I must keep moving forward." Ling Xiao said to himself, and his steps became more determined.

When he reached the end of the trees, he saw an open clearing.

In the center of the open space, there is a stone-paved path that extends into the distance.

At the end of the path was an old village, with low, dilapidated houses, roofs covered with thick thatch and walls made of rough wooden planks.

The entire village seemed exceptionally quiet, as if it had been forgotten by time. Ling Xiao stopped and scanned the village.

He could sense an eerie silence, as if the entire village was awaiting his arrival. His heartbeat quickened, but his gaze grew more determined. "There must be some secret hidden here."

Ling Xiao muttered to himself, his eyes scanning the village, trying to find any possible clues. He walked slowly along the stone-paved path, each step being extremely cautious.

On either side of the path stood a number of dilapidated wooden houses, their doors tightly shut, as if concealing some unspeakable secret. Ling Xiao clutched his dagger tightly in his hand, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily, searching for any signs of abnormality.
