Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 231 230: Don’t order!
The sunlight shines through the sparse leaves, casting mottled shadows on the winding mountain path.

Ling Xiao walked alone on the road leading to the town. His eyes were firm and focused, and the long sword in his hand flashed a cold light in the sunlight.

As a young adventurer, he longed to prove his strength in this world full of fantasy and danger.At this moment, a loud noise broke the tranquility of the forest.

Ling Xiao immediately became alert. He quickly hid behind a large tree and peered out through the gaps in the leaves. He saw a group of goblins walking towards him along the path.

These goblins were short, with gray-green skin, pointed ears and sharp fangs, and carried a variety of crude weapons in their hands, such as short swords, wooden sticks and rusty axes. They made harsh noises as they walked, and were obviously a group of guys out to find food or rob.

Ling Xiao's lips curled up slightly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He had long heard that goblins often appeared around the town, posing a threat to passersby and caravans, and the town guards had always offered a reward for their capture.

This was a good opportunity for him to demonstrate his abilities and receive a generous reward. He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and then carefully walked out from behind the tree, holding the sword tightly in both hands, and took a fighting stance.

When the goblins saw him, they immediately surrounded him and made strange noises, as if they were mocking his insignificance.

However, Ling Xiao was not intimidated by them. Instead, he secretly vowed in his heart that he must destroy all these hateful guys. The battle was about to break out, and Ling Xiao was the first to rush towards the group of goblins.

He swung his sword, the blade making a sharp sound as it pierced a goblin's chest with unerring accuracy. The goblin let out a scream as the blade pierced its body and it fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the surrounding goblins all rushed towards Ling Xiao, brandishing their weapons. Ling Xiao nimbly dodged their attacks and used his swordsmanship skills to knock the goblins to the ground one after another.

His movements were clean and sharp, each swing of the sword carried great power and precise control.

Although the goblins were numerous, they fell like fallen leaves in autumn under his sword.

After a fierce battle, the last goblin was killed by Ling Xiao.

He stood among the goblin corpses, breathing slightly, but his eyes remained firm.

He looked around and after confirming that there was no other danger, he began to clean up the battlefield.

He searched the goblin corpses for useful items, such as some strange accessories and weapons on them, which could be sold for a good price in the town.

After packing up everything, Ling Xiao, carrying the goblin's corpse and the spoils, set out on his journey back to town. As he walked through the town gate, the guards immediately noticed him. They looked at Ling Xiao in surprise, as he dragged the goblin's corpse behind him, and then they all showed their approval.

"You killed so many goblins? You're such a formidable adventurer!"

A guard came forward and patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder, his tone full of admiration.

Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said nothing more, but walked straight to the town's guard chief's residence. When the guard chief saw the goblin corpse he brought, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and greeted him warmly.

"Ling Xiao, you've done a great job this time! These goblins have always been a threat to our town, and you've helped us solve a big problem."

The guard commander spoke excitedly, then he took out a bag of gold coins from a box on the table and handed it to Ling Xiao. "This is your reward. In addition, we will also publish your heroic deeds on the town bulletin board so that more people will know your name."

Ling Xiao took the gold coin, feeling a sense of accomplishment. He knew this was just the beginning of his adventure, and there would be more challenges waiting for him in the future.

But he believes that as long as he perseveres and moves forward courageously, he will be able to carve out a place of his own in this fantasy world.

Ling Xiao brought the goblin's body back to the town and received a generous reward.

He stored the gold coins in his backpack and bought a sharper sword and some necessary supplies at the town's weapon shop. He then decided to continue his adventure and explore more distant places.

After leaving the town, Ling Xiao walked along a winding path that passed through a dense forest. Tall trees lined both sides, their canopies blocking out the sun. The sunlight could only filter through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of soil and leaves, and occasionally the sound of birdsong could be heard in the distance. After walking for about an hour, Ling Xiao suddenly heard a strange sound.

It was a low, humming sound that seemed to come from underground, mixed with the sound of metal colliding. Ling Xiao immediately stopped and looked around vigilantly.

He cautiously approached the source of the sound and discovered it was coming from behind a low bush. He drew his longsword from his back, the blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight. Ling Xiao took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the bushes.

When he reached the bushes, he suddenly jumped up and swung his sword at them. The blade cut through the air, making a crisp sound. Then, a burst of terrified screams came from the bushes. A group of goblins ran out of the bushes in panic.

These goblins are slightly smaller than goblins, with dark yellow skin, pointed ears and bulging eyes. They wear tattered leather armor and carry a variety of crude weapons in their hands, including short swords, daggers and small shields.

After seeing Ling Xiao, the goblins immediately let out a sharp cry, as if to warn their companions.

Ling Xiao stood in place, tightly gripping the sword in his hand, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

He knew that although the goblins were small, they were numerous and extremely cunning. Once they entangled him, he would be in a difficult battle. He had to take the initiative at the first opportunity and disrupt the goblins' formation.

The goblins panicked under Ling Xiao's attack, but soon regained their composure. A goblin who looked like the leader brandished his dagger and issued a sharp command. The other goblins immediately surrounded Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao knew that while the goblins' attacks weren't powerful enough, they were numerous. If he got entangled by them, he would be in a passive position. He had to find an opportunity to break through the goblin encirclement as soon as possible.

The goblins began to attack, charging towards Ling Xiao from all directions, their weapons gleaming coldly in the sunlight. Ling Xiao reacted quickly, swinging his longsword. The blade made a sharp sound as it struck a goblin's shortsword with unerring accuracy.

With a "clang" sound, the goblin's dagger was knocked away by Lingxiao's long sword, and the goblin was also shocked by the residual force of the sword and took a few steps back.

Ling Xiao didn't give the goblins a chance to breathe. He turned around quickly and swung his sword again. The blade scratched the shoulder of a goblin and blood immediately gushed out from the wound.

The goblin let out a scream, clutching its wound and falling to the ground, unable to rise again. The surrounding goblins, seeing their companions slain, roared in anger, charging at Ling Xiao with even greater frenzy. Ling Xiao dodged the goblin attacks while searching for opportunities to strike back. His movements were agile and swift, each swing of his sword carrying immense power and precise control.

A goblin attacked Ling Xiao from behind, stabbing the dagger in his hand straight into Ling Xiao's back.

Ling Xiao sensed the murderous intent behind him and quickly turned, swinging his longsword across, striking the goblin's dagger squarely. The dagger flew away, and the goblin was knocked back a few steps by the residual force of the sword. Ling Xiao seized the opportunity to swing his sword and stab it in the chest.

The goblin let out a scream, his body pierced by the sword, and then fell to the ground.

Ling Xiao's swordsmanship is extremely sharp. Relying on his excellent swordsmanship and agility, he shuttles among the group of goblins, knocking down a goblin with every swing of his sword.

However, the number of goblins was too large. Although he knocked down more than a dozen, the remaining goblins still surrounded him and continued to attack.

As time went on, Ling Xiao gradually began to feel his strength wearying. He had been fighting continuously for so long that his body was already a little tired, but the goblins were still full of energy and continued to attack him.

Although Ling Xiao's swordsmanship was still sharp, his movements were not as agile as at the beginning, and he would occasionally be thrown into confusion by the goblins' attacks.

A goblin took the opportunity to attack Ling Xiao from his left side, stabbing his ribs with the dagger in his hand. Ling Xiao was a little slow to react, and the dagger pierced his left arm, and blood immediately gushed out of the wound.

Ling Xiao felt a sharp pain, but he clenched his teeth and made no sound.

He quickly swung his sword back, and the blade cut across the goblin's neck. Blood gushed out, and the goblin let out a scream and then fell to the ground.

The wound on Ling Xiao's left arm began to bleed. Although the wound wasn't too deep, blood continued to flow. He felt a stinging pain in the wound, which made him even more alert.

He knew that if the wound became infected, it could be life-threatening. He had to end the fight quickly and treat the wound. However, after the goblins saw Ling Xiao injured, they attacked him even more frantically.

They seemed to see hope of victory, and they continued to rush towards Ling Xiao from all directions, their weapons flashing coldly in the sunlight. Ling Xiao felt the pressure growing, his physical strength was approaching its limit, and his movements were becoming increasingly slow.

He knew he couldn't go on like this, or he would be exhausted to death by the goblins. He had to find an opportunity to break the goblin's encirclement in one fell swoop.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, trying to remain calm. He carefully observed the goblins' movements, searching for their weaknesses. He discovered that while their attacks were dense, they lacked effective coordination. If he found an opportunity, he could defeat them in one fell swoop.

At this moment, a goblin attacked from Ling Xiao's right side, stabbing his waist with a dagger in his hand. Ling Xiao reacted quickly, dodging the goblin's attack by moving to the left and counterattacking with his sword.

The sword blade slashed across the goblin's shoulder, and blood immediately gushed out from the wound. The goblin screamed and fell to the ground, clutching the wound.

Ling Xiao took the opportunity to attack the group of goblins on the right. His long sword swung with a sharp sound of wind, knocking down several goblins in succession.

The goblins were caught off guard by Ling Xiao's counterattack and were in some confusion for a moment.

Ling Xiao seized the opportunity and rushed quickly to the center of the goblin group. He swung his sword like a storm, and every swing of the sword could knock down a goblin.

The goblins were beaten back step by step by Ling Xiao's offensive. They began to panic and no longer launched attacks in an orderly manner as before.

Ling Xiao seized the opportunity to swing his sword, the blade slicing through the bodies of the goblins, instantly staining the ground red with blood. The goblins screamed and retreated.

Ling Xiao did not give the goblins a chance to breathe. He continued to swing his sword and attack, and the sword tip cut through the goblins' bodies like lightning.

A goblin attempted to attack Ling Xiao from behind, but Ling Xiao was prepared. He spun quickly and swung his sword, striking the goblin squarely in the neck. Blood gushed out, and the goblin let out a scream before collapsing to the ground.

As the number of goblins dwindled, Ling Xiao's swordsmanship became increasingly powerful. With his exceptional swordsmanship and agility, he weaved through the goblins, knocking down one with every swing of his sword.

In the end, all the goblins were knocked down by Ling Xiao, leaving only the leader goblin still lingering.

Ling Xiao walked up to the goblin leader and pointed the sword in his hand at its throat.

When the chief goblin saw Ling Xiao, a look of fear appeared in his eyes. He let out a sharp cry, as if begging for mercy. Ling Xiao ignored his cry and looked at him coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He swung his sword at the chief goblin's chest, the blade piercing through its body, blood gushing out instantly. The chief goblin let out a scream, then fell to the ground, motionless.

Ling Xiao stood among the goblin corpses, panting slightly. The wound on his left arm was still bleeding, but his eyes remained firm. He glanced around, confirming there was no other danger, and then slowly sheathed his sword.

He took out a bottle of potion from his backpack, opened the cap, and poured the potion on the wound.

When the potion came into contact with the wound, it made a hissing sound, and the bleeding immediately stopped. Ling Xiao felt a cool sensation in the wound, and the pain was greatly relieved.

After treating his wounds, he began to clean up the battlefield, searching the goblins' corpses for useful items, such as some strange and bizarre items.

Ling Xiao walked carefully through the forest, looking for a hidden place.

He found a small clearing surrounded by trees, with a clear stream running through the middle.

He decided to camp there. He built a simple tent with branches and leaves to protect it from wild animals. He used water from the stream to clean his wound and further treated it with herbs to prevent infection.

I took out some dry food and water from my backpack and ate a few simple meals to restore my strength.
