Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 241 240: Happy Lantern Festival!
Ling Xiao was surprised to find that his body had also changed.

His strength became greater, his speed increased, and he even felt a special ability to communicate with plants.

He tried to communicate with the fang flowers and was able to hear their voices. Although they were not very clear, he could already feel their emotions.

Ling Xiao knew that this was the power bestowed upon him by the tusk flower fruit. With this power, Ling Xiao's ability to survive in this field was greatly enhanced.

He began to explore the fields more deeply, looking for more resources and secrets.

During the exploration, Ling Xiao discovered some new plant seeds. These seeds had different shapes, some looked like small stars, some like curved moons, and some like delicate gears.

Ling Xiao took the seeds back and planted them next to the fang flower.

Under the careful care of Trumpet Bloom, these seeds gradually germinated and grew into various strange plants.

Some plants can absorb moisture from the air and provide water for the fields; some plants can emit special smells to drive away pests in the fields; and some plants can grow strong vines to help trumpet creepers build homes.

Ling Xiao was very happy, knowing that these plants would become his right-hand men in this field. However, as Ling Xiao's strength increased, the crisis in the field gradually intensified.

One night, Ling Xiao was patrolling the fields when he suddenly felt a powerful aura coming from a distance.

He looked in the direction of the smell and saw a huge monster walking towards the field.

The monster was several feet tall, covered with black hair, its eyes flashed blood-red, and it spewed flames from its mouth.

Ling Xiao knew that this monster was not an ordinary creature. It was extremely powerful and he had to be careful when dealing with it.

Lingxiao quickly returned to the area where the fang flowers were planted and gathered all the plants together to form a defensive formation.

He stood at the front of the formation, holding a spear woven from plant vines in his hand, ready to meet the monster's attack.

When the monster saw Ling Xiao, it let out a deafening roar and rushed towards him. Ling Xiao was not afraid at all and rushed forward with his spear in hand.

In the fierce battle, Ling Xiao gave full play to his strength and used the characteristics of plants to attack and defend.

He used vines to entangle the monster's claws, used flower petals to attack the monster's eyes, and used the fragrance of fruits to confuse the monster's sense of smell.

After a hard fight, Ling Xiao finally found the monster's weakness.

He found a piece of soft skin on the monster's belly, which was its fatal spot.

Ling Xiao seized the opportunity and stabbed the monster in the abdomen with his spear. With a scream, the monster fell to the ground, lifeless. Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had once again overcome the crisis.

This battle made Ling Xiao more aware of his own strength and made him more determined to survive in this field. In the following days, Ling Xiao continued to work hard to plant various plants and improve his strength.

As the power brought by the Fang Flower Fruit gradually stabilized in his body, Ling Xiao felt an urge to explore a wider world.

He knew very well that there were still many unknowns hidden on the edge of this strange field, and these unknowns might contain secrets that would allow him to improve his strength faster and find clues to return home.

After discussing with the old tree spirit, although the old tree spirit looked worried, he still respected Ling Xiao's decision and told him to be careful. Ling Xiao then set out on the journey to the forest on the edge of the field.

As soon as he entered the forest, Ling Xiao felt an atmosphere that was completely different from the fields.

The trees are tall and dense, with branches and leaves intertwined, so the sunlight can only shine through sporadically, forming patches of light.

There is a thick layer of fallen leaves under my feet, which makes a rustling sound when I step on them.

Ling Xiao moved forward cautiously, looking around from time to time. The forest was filled with a damp and slightly decayed smell.

As he was walking, Ling Xiao suddenly heard a strange sound, as if something was stirring the leaves.

He stopped in his tracks, held his breath, and listened carefully to the source of the sound. After a moment, the sound became clearer, and seemed to be mixed with a slight gasp.

Ling Xiao followed the sound and gently pushed aside the bushes in front of him. The scene before him made him gasp.

A huge spider was lying on a huge spider web, with several small animals that had lost their life signs entangled on the web.

The spider's body was a strange purple-black color, its eight eyes flashed with a sinister light, and its sharp fangs dripped with venom.

Ling Xiao knew in his heart that this was definitely not an ordinary spider, but most likely a mutated creature in the forest.

The spider seemed to have sensed Ling Xiao's presence. It turned its body and all eight eyes looked towards Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao's heart beat faster and he subconsciously took a step back, but he stepped on a dead branch, which made a crisp breaking sound.

The spider was instantly enraged, and it leaped suddenly and pounced towards Lingxiao.

Ling Xiao reacted quickly, dodging the spider's attack by dodging to the side. But the spider immediately turned around and rushed towards him again.

While Ling Xiao was dodging, he was quickly thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.

He remembered that the leaves of the fang flower had once had an effect on birds, and perhaps there were plants here that could restrain the spider.

While dodging, Ling Xiao noticed a faintly fluorescent mushroom nearby. With an idea, he quickly plucked a few mushrooms and threw them at the spider.

The mushrooms spread in the air, releasing a strange light and scent. The spider seemed to be quite wary of this light and scent, and its movements slowed noticeably. Ling Xiao seized this opportunity, picked up a thick branch from the ground, and smashed it hard on the spider's head.

The branch collided with the spider's head, making a dull "bang" sound.

The spider let out a scream, struggled a few times on the ground, and then stopped moving.

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and secretly thanked himself for his wit just now.

After dealing with the spider, Ling Xiao did not relax his vigilance. He continued to explore the forest.

As he went deeper, he discovered that the plants in the forest became increasingly bizarre. Some had leaves as broad as fans, making pleasant sounds in the wind; some had brightly colored flowers that exuded a suffocating fragrance; and some had vines so thick and powerful that they seemed to be able to wrap around and devour everything.

In an open area, Ling Xiao discovered a patch of grass emitting a golden glow. The blades on the grass were crystal clear, as if they were made of gold.

Ling Xiao approached curiously and gently touched a golden herb. Instantly, he felt a warm energy coming from his fingertips. Although this energy was weak, it was extremely pure.

Ling Xiao was overjoyed. He suspected that these golden herbs might be a precious plant that could bring him new strength. He carefully dug out a few golden herbs, wrapped them in cloth, and prepared to take them back to the fields.

However, just as he was about to leave, a low roar came from the depths of the forest, with endless majesty and anger in the voice.

Ling Xiao's expression changed. He knew the owner of that voice was no good. He quickly hid behind a nearby tree. He saw a massive beast slowly emerging from the depths of the forest.

This giant beast was covered in thick gray hair, with wiry muscles. Its eyes were like two burning fireballs, emitting a blazing light. Behind it was a long tail covered with sharp barbs.

The giant beast came to the golden grass area, sniffed it with its nose, and then let out a dissatisfied roar.

It seemed angry about the destruction of the golden grass and began to destroy the surrounding area frantically, uprooting trees and smashing rocks.

Ling Xiao hid behind a tree, not daring to make a sound, fearing that the beast would discover him. After a while, the beast's anger seemed to subside a little, and it turned and walked deeper into the forest.

Lingxiao waited until it walked away before daring to walk out from behind the tree.

He looked at the destroyed golden grass area with regret in his heart, but he also knew that he was no match for the giant beast. He could only shake his head helplessly and walk out of the forest.

After returning to the fields, Ling Xiao immediately found the old tree spirit and showed it the golden grass.

The old tree spirit looked at the golden grass, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He said, "This is a rare golden spiritual grass. It contains pure energy and will greatly benefit your spiritual power. However, cultivating this golden spiritual grass is not easy. If you are not careful, it will lose its effectiveness."

After hearing this, Ling Xiao immediately asked the old tree spirit for advice on how to cultivate the Golden Spirit Grass. Under the old tree spirit's guidance, Ling Xiao found a sunny spot with fertile soil in the field and planted the Golden Spirit Grass.

He took good care of it every day, using specific runes and spells to nourish the golden spirit grass according to the old tree spirit's instructions.

As time went by, the Golden Spirit Grass gradually adapted to the environment of the field and began to thrive. While caring for the Golden Spirit Grass, Ling Xiao discovered that his spiritual power was also slowly improving.

He can perceive the growth status of plants in the fields more clearly and can even communicate with them more deeply.

This gave him a better understanding of the mystery of this field and made him more determined to find a way home in this field.

While Ling Xiao was working hard to improve himself in the fields, the dark forces were not idle either.

They sensed Ling Xiao's growth and felt the increase in his strength, which made the leader of the dark forces feel uneasy.

It decided not to sit idly by and watch Ling Xiao grow stronger, and decided to launch a large-scale attack to completely eliminate Ling Xiao. Late one night, Ling Xiao woke up from his sleep and felt a powerful dark aura approaching the fields.

He quickly got up and walked to the center of the field. He saw that the distant sky was shrouded in darkness. Countless dark creatures were looming in the darkness, making bursts of low roars.

Ling Xiao's heart tightened, knowing this was a counterattack from the dark forces. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and quickly thought of a response.

He looked at the plants in the fields. These companions who had once fought alongside him would now be the key to his resistance against the forces of darkness.

Dark creatures came like a tide. They had various shapes, some had sharp claws, some could spit venom, and some could release dark energy.

Ling Xiao stood in the middle of the field, holding a long sword woven from plant vines in his hand. The hilt of the sword was inlaid with a fang flower fruit, emitting a faint light.

As the dark creatures got closer, Ling Xiao shouted and rushed forward, waving his sword.

The long sword swept through the air, bringing up green sword beams. Wherever the sword beams went, the dark creatures were repelled.

Relying on the power given to him by the Fang Flower Fruit and the experience gained in the forest, Ling Xiao launched a fierce battle with the dark creatures.

Led by the trumpet vine, the plants in the fields also woke up one after another. They stretched out their branches and leaves and released various means of attack.

The leaves of the fang flower spun out like sharp blades, cutting the bodies of the dark creatures; the golden spirit grass emitted a golden light, illuminating the surrounding area, leaving the dark creatures nowhere to hide; some vines entangled the limbs of the dark creatures, restricting their movements.

The battle was extremely fierce, with dark creatures pouring in continuously. Ling Xiao and the plants gradually felt exhausted. Ling Xiao's sword light was no longer as sharp, and the plants' attacks also became slower.

At this moment, the leader of the dark forces took action himself. A huge dark beam of light descended from the sky, smashing straight towards Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao felt this powerful force and was horrified. He tried his best to dodge to the side, but was still swept by the aftermath of the light column. His body flew out like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground.

Ling Xiao struggled to get up, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the leader who was emitting a strong dark aura not far away, and felt powerless.

He knew that with his current strength, he could not compete with the leader.

However, just when Ling Xiao fell into despair, the plants in the field seemed to feel his emotions, and they all emitted faint lights. These lights gathered together to form a warm energy, rushing towards Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao felt this energy, and a warm current surged in his heart. He closed his eyes and let this energy merge into his body. When Ling Xiao opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of determination.

He stood up, and the sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light, which contained the power of all the plants in the field.

Ling Xiao shouted loudly and rushed towards the Dark Leader. Seeing Ling Xiao rushing towards him, the Dark Leader sneered disdainfully and once again gathered his dark energy, preparing to deal a fatal blow to Ling Xiao.

However, Ling Xiao was not afraid at all this time. He swung his sword, and the sword light collided with the dark energy, making a deafening sound.

The light faded, and a huge wound appeared on the dark leader's body. It let out a painful roar, and its body began to slowly dissipate.

When the dark creatures saw their leader fall, they screamed in fear and fled in all directions.

Ling Xiao stood there, breathing heavily, watching the dark forces retreat, his heart filled with emotion.
