Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 230 229: Don’t order!
The mysterious summons Ling Xiao stood in the ancient library, surrounded by yellowed books and scrolls.

His eyes were fixed on a thick magic book, which recorded an ancient legend: in the distant sky, there was a mysterious floating island, which hid endless treasures and powerful magical powers.

It is said that only the bravest adventurers can set foot on this island. Ling Xiao is a young magician who has been curious about the unknown world since he was a child.

His mentor once warned him that the floating island was a place full of dangers, but Ling Xiao's heart had long been attracted by the mysterious power.

He decided to embark on this journey to find the legendary treasure. Before setting off, Ling Xiao found an ancient star map in the library, which marked the approximate location of the floating island.

He also prepared some magical items, including a potion that allows him to fly and an amulet that can protect him from magical attacks. He believed that these items would help him overcome the difficulties he would encounter on his journey.

Standing on the top of a high mountain, soaring through the clouds, looking up at the sky.

He opened the potion bottle and smeared it on his body. Instantly, his body became light, as if lifted by an invisible force. He spread his arms and soared into the air like an eagle.

As he climbed higher and higher, Ling Xiao was greeted by a magnificent sight. The clouds resembled a white ocean, surging with waves. He passed through them and arrived in a completely new world. The sky here was a pale blue, and the sunlight filtered through the clouds, creating brilliant beams of light.

After flying in the air for a long time, Ling Xiao finally saw an island floating in the air. It was surrounded by a faint halo, looking mysterious and beautiful.

Ling Xiao knew that this was the legendary floating island. He approached the island cautiously, only to discover a powerful magical barrier.

This barrier blocked his way and prevented him from entering the island.

Ling Xiao pulled the amulet from his bosom and placed it against his chest. He closed his eyes, concentrated, and began to cast a spell. Magical runes flew from his hands, striking the barrier. After some effort, a crack finally appeared in the barrier.

Ling Xiao took the opportunity to rush in and came to the interior of the floating island.

Inside the floating island lies a vast forest, its trees towering and ancient, seemingly having grown for thousands of years. Sunlight filters through the gaps between the leaves, creating patches of light.

There was a mysterious atmosphere in the air, which made Ling Xiao feel both excited and nervous.

He walked cautiously through the forest, constantly alert to his surroundings. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound, like the growl of some creature. Ling Xiao quickly hid behind a large tree, only to see a huge beast rush out from the woods.

Its body was covered in thick fur, and its eyes gleamed with a fierce light. Ling Xiao knew he had to be careful. He pulled out a magic wand from his bosom and began to cast a spell.

Lightning bolts flew out from the magic wand and struck the beast. The beast roared in pain, but it did not fall down. Instead, it became more ferocious.

It rushed towards Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao dodged in a hurry, but was still scratched on the arm by the beast's claws. Ling Xiao felt a sharp pain, but he did not give up.

He gritted his teeth and continued to cast his magic. This time, he summoned a powerful flame that surrounded the beast. The beast struggled in the flames and eventually collapsed.

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew this was only the beginning. More dangers awaited him on the floating island. Chapter 4: Ancient Ruins Passing through the forest, Ling Xiao arrived at an ancient ruin. With dilapidated buildings and ancient statues, it looked as if it had once been a prosperous city.

Ling Xiao walked through the ruins, searching for clues to the treasure. He discovered a huge stone door engraved with mysterious runes.

Ling Xiao knew that this must be the key to the treasure. He began to study these runes, trying to unlock the secrets.

After some effort, he finally found a pattern. He touched the symbols on the stone door one by one, following the order of the runes. The stone door slowly opened, revealing a deep passage.

Ling Xiao cautiously entered the passageway and discovered a massive basement. In the center of the basement sat a massive crystal ball, emitting a faint glow. Ling Xiao walked over and reached out to touch the crystal ball.

Suddenly, the crystal ball emitted a dazzling light, surrounding him.

Ling Xiao felt a powerful force surging into his body, and his magical ability was greatly enhanced.

He realized that the crystal ball was the legendary source of magic. It gave him even greater power, allowing him to continue exploring the floating island. Ling Xiao took the crystal ball and continued his adventure.

As Ling Xiao went deeper, he discovered a huge castle in the center of the floating island. The castle was shrouded in a dark fog, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Ling Xiao knew that the treasure must be deep in the castle. He mustered up his courage and walked into the fog.

Suddenly, he heard a low voice: "Who disturbed my peace?" Ling Xiao looked up and saw a huge figure emerging from the fog.

It was an ancient guardian, its body made of dark energy, emitting powerful oppression.

"I am Ling Xiao, an adventurer who is here to look for treasure." Ling Xiao said loudly.

"Treasure?" The guardian sneered, "Do you think you can get the treasure easily?" Ling Xiao knew that he had to defeat the guardian before he could move on.

He summoned a powerful magical attack, but the Guardian easily blocked his blows.

Ling Xiao felt a surge of despair, but suddenly, he remembered the power of the crystal ball. He placed the crystal ball against his chest, concentrated his mind, and channeled all his strength into the magic wand. A powerful beam of light flew out from the wand and struck the guardian.

The Guardian roared in pain, and its body began to dissipate. Finally, it turned into a dark dust and disappeared into the air.

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally defeated the guardian. He continued walking forward and found a huge treasure chest. He opened it, and it was filled with all kinds of precious gems and magical items. Ling Xiao knew that he had finally found the treasure.

Ling Xiao returned home with the treasure. He passed through the mist and returned to the forest. He cast his flying magic again and soared into the sky. When he passed through the clouds and returned to the ground, he saw his hometown.

He returned to the library and handed the treasure and crystal ball to his mentor. The mentor was very pleased to see his achievements. He told Ling Xiao that he had become a true magician.

Ling Xiao stood in the bustling market, surrounded by the bustling crowds of people and various stalls filled with strange and bizarre goods.

He was wearing a simple grey robe, with a simple-looking short sword hanging from his waist. The hilt of the sword was inlaid with a blue gem that emitted a faint glow.

Ling Xiao is a young adventurer. Despite his youth, he has already gained a certain reputation within the Adventurer's Guild. With his outstanding swordsmanship and magical abilities, he has completed many difficult missions. One day, Ling Xiao had just returned from a mission and was about to go to the guild to hand in his task.

Suddenly, his eyes were caught by a man in a black cloak.

The man stood at the edge of the crowd, holding a yellowed parchment in his hand, looking around. Ling Xiao's intuition told him that this person might be related to him. Ling Xiao slowly walked towards the man. The cloaked man seemed to notice his gaze and turned to hand the parchment to him, whispering, "Mr. Ling Xiao, this is an invitation for you."

Ling Xiao took the parchment and unfolded it. Written on it in golden ink was a message: "Dear Mr. Ling Xiao, you have been chosen to journey to a dangerous and secret realm to explore its mysteries. This journey is filled with unknowns and dangers, but it will also bring endless glory and treasures.

Please go to the border town of 'Glen' in three days. Someone will then guide you into the secret realm. —Mysterious Inviter” Ling Xiao felt an inexplicable excitement well up in his heart.

He had heard of the name "Dangerous Secret Realm" before. It was a forgotten place said to hide ancient secrets and powerful powers, but no one had ever truly explored it. He put away the parchment without hesitation and turned to leave the market.

Three days later, in the early morning, Ling Xiao rode a black horse along the rugged mountain road to the border town of Yougu.

Along the way, he passed through dense forests, crossed turbulent rivers, and encountered attacks from several groups of wild beasts, but he easily dealt with them all. After a day of traveling, he finally saw the outline of the valley.

The valley is nestled among the mountains, surrounded by towering peaks, with only a narrow mountain road leading to the town.

Most of the buildings in the town were made of stone, appearing simple and solid. Ling Xiao entered the town and found that the people were very wary, looking at every stranger with suspicion.

Ling Xiao arrived at the inn in town, ready to find a place to rest. The innkeeper was a wrinkled old man. When he saw Ling Xiao, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Ling Xiao asked for a room, and after placing the horses, he returned to the room. As soon as he entered the room, Ling Xiao found a note on the table that read: "Follow me."

He looked up and saw a man in a black cloak standing at the door. It was the person who invited him three days ago.

Ling Xiao nodded and followed him out of the inn. They walked through the town and came to a wasteland outside the town. It was overgrown with weeds and looked a bit eerie.

The cloaked man stopped, took out a black crystal from his arms and placed it on the ground.

The crystal emitted a black light, which gradually spread out to form a huge magic circle.

"This is the portal into the secret realm," the cloaked man said. "You must enter alone. That's the rule."

Ling Xiao nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped into the magic circle. Instantly, he felt dizzy and the surrounding scene began to blur.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in an unfamiliar place.

After passing through the forest, Ling Xiao came to an ancient ruin. There were dilapidated buildings and ancient statues here, as if it was once a prosperous city.

He carefully walked through the ruins, looking for clues to the treasure. He found a huge stone door, engraved with mysterious runes.

Ling Xiao knew this must be the key to the treasure. He began to study the runes, trying to unlock their secrets. After some effort, he finally found a pattern.

He touched the symbols on the stone door one by one according to the order of the runes.

The stone door slowly opened, revealing a deep passage. Ling Xiao walked into the passage cautiously and found a huge basement inside.

There is a huge crystal ball in the center of the basement, emitting a faint light.

Ling Xiao walked forward and reached out to touch the crystal ball.

Suddenly, the crystal ball emitted a dazzling light, surrounding him.

Ling Xiao felt a powerful force surging into his body, and his magical ability was greatly enhanced.

He realized that this crystal ball was the legendary source of magic. It gave him even greater power, allowing him to continue exploring the secret realm. Ling Xiao took the crystal ball and continued his adventure.

As Ling Xiao went deeper, he discovered a huge castle in the center of the secret realm. The castle was shrouded in a dark fog, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Ling Xiao knew that the treasure must be deep in the castle.

He mustered up his courage and walked into the fog. Suddenly, he heard a deep voice: "Who disturbed my peace?"

Ling Xiao looked up and saw a massive figure emerge from the mist. It was an ancient guardian, its body composed of dark energy, emanating a powerful aura. "I am Ling Xiao, an adventurer seeking treasure."

Ling Xiao exclaimed. "Treasure?" The Guardian sneered, "Do you think you can get the treasure so easily?"

Ling Xiao knew that he had to defeat the guardian before he could move on.

He summoned a powerful magic attack, but the guardian easily resisted his attack. Ling Xiao felt a moment of despair, but suddenly, he remembered the power of the crystal ball.

He placed the crystal ball in front of his chest, concentrated his mind, and gathered all his strength into the magic wand. A powerful light flew out from the magic wand and hit the guardian.

The Guardian roared in pain, and its body began to dissipate. Finally, it turned into a dark dust and disappeared into the air.

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, he finally defeated the guardian.

He continued walking forward and found a huge treasure chest. He opened it and found it was filled with all kinds of precious gems and magic props. Ling Xiao knew that he had finally found the treasure.

Just as Ling Xiao was about to leave, he suddenly heard a strange sound.

He looked back and saw a man in a black robe walking out of the fog.

He wore a silver mask on his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

"You're finally here," the man said. "I'm the guardian of the secret realm. My mission is to protect the secrets here." Ling Xiao looked at him warily and asked, "What is the secret here?"
