Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 229 228: Don’t order!
Ling Xiao stood in front of the entrance to the cave, took a deep breath, and slowly stepped into the darkness.

The cave was dark and damp, and the air was filled with a foul smell, as if every inch of space was lurking with danger. He raised the magic lamp in his hand, and the faint light illuminated the path ahead.

The walls were covered in vines and mosses, and occasionally strange runes could be seen flickering faintly. Ling Xiao advanced cautiously, his footsteps echoing clearly in the empty cavern.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the front, as if it was a warning from the depths of hell.

Ling Xiao gripped the sword tightly in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

His heartbeat quickened, but his eyes gleamed with determination. He knew the real challenge had just begun.

In the darkness, a vague figure gradually emerged. It was a huge wolf-like monster, its eyes flashing blood-red light, like two burning flames.

The monster's fur was covered in blood, and its sharp claws scratched the ground with a sharp sound. Ling Xiao held his breath; he could feel the murderous aura coming from the monster.

This monster was clearly no ordinary beast; it exuded a strange aura. Ling Xiao knew this was a battle of life and death.

The monster roared, the sound shaking the walls of the cave. Its body suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Ling Xiao like a flash of red lightning.

Ling Xiao reacted quickly, swinging his sword to try to block the monster's attack. The sword collided with the monster's claws, making a crisp metallic sound.

Ling Xiao felt a huge force hitting his arm, and his body was shaken back a few steps.

The monster's strength far exceeded his expectations, but Ling Xiao did not retreat. He quickly adjusted his posture and used the "spinning slash" technique in swordsmanship to divert the monster's attack to the side.

The monster's claws scratched a deep mark on the ground, but it didn't stop. It roared again, leaped up suddenly, and pounced on Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao knew he couldn't fight head-on. He quickly used the Shadow Escape Technique, transforming his body into a blurry shadow and quickly moving behind the monster.

The monster's attack missed, and it turned around angrily, its eyes flashing with an even more ferocious light. Ling Xiao didn't hesitate, wielding his sword and attacking the monster's back.

The sword blade pierced the monster's fur with a dull sound. The monster roared in pain and its body trembled violently, but it did not fall down.

A deep wound was cut into the monster's back, and blood continued to flow out. But it did not retreat, but became even more angry.

It roared again, a strange magic in its voice.

"Roar of Blood!" The monster's roar contained powerful force, and the air around it seemed to be shaken and distorted.

Ling Xiao felt an invisible force impacting his body, and his health was decreasing. He knew that this was the monster's special skill.

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, he knew he couldn't be suppressed by the monster's roar.

He quickly used the "Wind Shield" and a layer of light blue light flickered around his body.

This shield provided him with an extra layer of protection, slowing down the damage from the monster's roar. The monster's roar continued, but Ling Xiao had already stabilized his position.

He used the "Shadow Escape Technique" to move behind the monster again, and then launched the "Flame Slash".

The blade burned with raging flames, and it stabbed at the monster with powerful flaming force.

"Ah!" The monster roared in pain again. Its back was burned by flames, and the wound was even more serious.

But it still did not fall, instead it became even more frantic. It leaped up again and pounced towards Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao knew that he could not be trapped by the monster's attack. He quickly used the "Frost Ring", and the air around him instantly became icy cold, and a thin layer of frost covered the monster's body.

The monster's movements instantly slowed, its claws struggling in the frost, but they were no longer as agile as before. Ling Xiao seized the opportunity and launched another "Flame Slash", the flames on the blade piercing the monster's body again.

The monster's health continued to decline, and its movements became increasingly sluggish. Finally, the monster let out a shrill roar, and its body fell heavily to the ground.

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he had won the battle. He had looted some materials and gold coins from the monster's corpse, all of which were the rewards of his adventure.

But Ling Xiao knew that this was only the first battle in the cave, and the real danger was still to come.

Ling Xiao continued to go deeper into the cave, and he found that the monsters here were getting stronger and stronger. He advanced cautiously, and was full of vigilance with every step.

Suddenly, he heard a strange sound, like some creature groaning in pain.

He slowly approached the source of the sound and discovered a huge cave. In the center of the cave was an altar emitting a strange light, with some strange runes and offerings placed on the altar.

Around the altar, a giant spider was slowly waking up. This spider had eight sharp legs and its body was covered with a hard shell.

Its eyes flashed with a cold light, as if it could see through everything. Ling Xiao knew that this was a powerful monster and he had to be careful when dealing with it.

The spider moved its body slowly, and its legs made a harsh friction sound on the ground.

Ling Xiao gripped the sword tightly in his hand, he knew the battle was about to begin.

The spider suddenly attacked, its eight legs moving swiftly towards Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao reacted quickly, using the "Shadow Escape Technique" and transforming his body into a blurry shadow, quickly moving behind the spider.

The spider's attack missed, and it turned angrily, its eyes flashing an even colder light. Ling Xiao didn't hesitate, swinging his sword and attacking the spider's back.

The sword blade pierced the spider's shell, making a crisp sound. The spider's shell was very hard, and Ling Xiao's attack did not cause much damage.

But it still felt pain, and it let out an angry roar, suddenly thrusting its body backwards, knocking Ling Xiao away. Ling Xiao's body rolled in the air, and he quickly used the "Wind Shield" to mitigate the impact of landing.

Although his body was aching, he was not injured. He immediately stood up and faced the spider again. The spider attacked again, its eight legs moving swiftly and pounced on Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao knew he couldn't be trapped by the spider's attack. He quickly used "Frost Ring," and the air around him instantly turned icy cold, a thin layer of frost covering the spider's body. The spider's movements instantly slowed, its legs struggling in the frost, but they were no longer as nimble as before. Ling Xiao seized the opportunity and unleashed "Flame Slash" once again, the flames on his blade piercing the spider's body once again.

The spider hissed in pain, its body burned by the flames, and the wounds became more serious. But it still did not fall down, but became even more crazy.

It attacked again, but its movements were restricted by the ice.

Ling Xiao used the Shadow Escape Technique to move behind the spider again, and then launched the Blazing Flame Slash. The flames on the blade pierced the spider's body again, and the spider's health continued to decrease.

Finally, the spider let out a shrill hiss and its body fell heavily to the ground.

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had won the battle.

Ling Xiao had been exploring the cave for a long time, and his footsteps echoed in the damp and dim passage.

Each step felt especially heavy, as if the cursed land was trying to stop him from moving forward. Yet, Ling Xiao's resolve never wavered. His goal was to uncover the secrets hidden deep within the catacombs, no matter the endless dangers that lay ahead.

After a series of difficult battles and numerous traps, Ling Xiao finally arrived at the depths of the cave.

Here, the passage became narrower, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression. He raised the magic lamp in his hand, and the weak light barely illuminated the road ahead.

At the end of the light, a huge stone door suddenly appeared before his eyes. The stone door was engraved with ancient runes, which emitted a faint light, as if telling ancient secrets.

However, guarding the stone gate was a huge tiger monster.

This monster is huge, several times larger than an ordinary tiger, and its fur is a strange dark red color, as if it were stained with blood.

Its eyes flashed with a cold and fierce light, as if it could see through everything.

The monster's limbs were strong and powerful, and its sharp claws scratched the ground with traces, making a harsh sound. Ling Xiao stopped and could feel the powerful aura emanating from the monster.

He knew that this was a battle of life and death, and the outcome of this battle would determine whether he could enter the world behind the stone gate.

The monster seemed to sense Ling Xiao's presence and let out a deafening roar.

The roar echoed in the cave like thunder, making Ling Xiao's eardrums buzz.

The monster's roar held immense power, as if it could tear everything apart. Ling Xiao gripped his sword tightly, his heartbeat accelerating, but his eyes gleamed with determination. He knew he couldn't retreat.

He quickly adjusted his posture, preparing for the upcoming battle. The monster roared again, its body suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards Ling Xiao like a red lightning.

Ling Xiao reacted quickly, waving his sword and trying to block the monster's attack.

However, the monster's strength far exceeded his expectations. The long sword collided with the monster's claws, making a crisp metallic collision sound. Ling Xiao felt a huge force impacting his arm, and his body was shaken back a few steps.

The monster did not stop, its attacks continued like a storm.

Ling Xiao knew he couldn't fight head-on. He quickly used the Shadow Escape Technique, transforming his body into a blurry shadow and quickly moving behind the monster.

The monster's attack missed, and it turned around angrily, with an even more ferocious light flashing in its eyes.

Ling Xiao didn't hesitate. He swung his sword and attacked the monster's back. The blade pierced the monster's fur with a dull thud. The monster roared in pain, its body trembling violently, but it didn't fall.

A deep wound was cut into the monster's back, and blood continued to flow out. But it did not retreat, but became even more crazy.

The monster roared again, its voice filled with great power. Ling Xiao felt an invisible force impacting his body, and his health was decreasing.

He knew that this was the monster's special skill—"Tiger Roar Shakes the Heavens." Ling Xiao clenched his teeth, knowing that he couldn't be suppressed by the monster's roar.

He quickly activated the Wind Shield, and a pale blue light flickered around his body. This shield provided him with an additional layer of protection, mitigating the damage from the monster's roar. The monster's roar continued, but Ling Xiao had already stabilized his position.

He used the "Shadow Escape Technique" to move behind the monster again, and then launched the "Flame Slash".

The blade burned with raging flames, and with a powerful force of fire, it stabbed at the monster. The monster let out a shrill roar, and its back was burned by the flames, making the wound even more serious.

But it still didn't fall, instead becoming even more frantic. The monster attacked again, its body emitting a powerful force as it lunged towards Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao quickly used "Frost Ring," and the surrounding air instantly turned icy cold, a thin layer of frost covering the monster's body.

The monster's movements instantly became slow, its claws struggling in the frost, but they were no longer as flexible as before.

Ling Xiao seized the opportunity and launched the "Flame Slash" again, and the flames on the blade pierced the monster's body again. The monster's health was constantly decreasing, and its movements were becoming slower and slower.

Finally, the monster let out a shrill roar and fell heavily to the ground. Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he had won the battle. He had looted some materials and gold coins from the monster's corpse, all the rewards of his adventure.

But Ling Xiao knew that this was only the first battle in the cave, and the real danger was yet to come. 2. The Secret Behind the Stone Gate Ling Xiao slowly walked towards the stone gate, his footsteps echoing in the cave.

He raised the magic lamp in his hand, and the faint light illuminated the runes on the stone door. These runes emitted a faint glow, as if telling ancient secrets.

Ling Xiao reached out and gently touched the rune on the stone door. The rune suddenly emitted a dazzling light, which contained a powerful force.

Ling Xiao felt an invisible force surge into his body, causing him to tremble slightly. He knew this was the opening ceremony of the stone gate. The light gradually dissipated, and the stone gate slowly opened. An ancient and mysterious aura flowed from behind the stone gate, as if welcoming Ling Xiao's arrival.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and slowly walked into the world behind the stone door. The space behind the stone door was more spacious than the cave outside, and the air was filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

In the center of the room, there is a huge crystal ball that emits dazzling light.

Around the crystal ball were some strange offerings, which emitted a faint light, as if telling ancient secrets. Ling Xiao slowly walked towards the crystal ball, his footsteps echoing in the room.
