Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 250 249: Don’t order!
After being attacked by the dark forces, Ling Xiao realized that he needed a stronger force to protect the fields.

He asked the old tree spirit if there was any plant that could significantly enhance his spiritual power.

After a moment's thought, the old tree spirit said, "In the forest deep within the fields, there grows a plant called the Soul Flower. It absorbs soul energy, and the fruit it bears can greatly enhance your spiritual power. However, the Soul Flower grows in an extremely dangerous place, guarded by many powerful creatures. If you want to obtain it, you'll likely face numerous difficulties."

After hearing this, Ling Xiao didn't hesitate at all. He knew he had to try it.

So, he took some necessary items and once again set foot in the mysterious forest. This time, Ling Xiao felt something was different from the last time.

The atmosphere in the forest became more oppressive, and the surrounding trees seemed to have become taller and denser. The sunlight could hardly penetrate the treetops, and it was dark all around.

Ling Xiao walked forward cautiously, using the leaves of the Fang Flower and the energy of the Golden Spirit Grass from time to time to sense the movements around him. As he walked, Ling Xiao suddenly felt a powerful soul wave coming from the front.

He walked in the direction of the waves and found a quiet lake.

In the center of the lake, there grows a plant emitting a faint blue light. That is the soul flower.

The soul flower has a peculiar six-petal shape, and each petal is engraved with mysterious runes, as if telling an ancient secret.

However, around the soul flower, there are some translucent soul bodies floating, which are the guardians of this lake.

Upon seeing Ling Xiao, these souls immediately let out sharp cries and rushed towards him. Ling Xiao knew that these souls were not ordinary ghosts. They possessed powerful soul attack capabilities. Once hit, his soul would likely be severely damaged.

Ling Xiao quickly took out a shield woven from golden spirit grass from his backpack. This was a shield he carefully made in the fields and could withstand a certain degree of soul attacks.

While waving his shield to fend off the attacks of the soul bodies, he looked for an opportunity to get close to the soul flower. During the battle, Ling Xiao discovered that these soul bodies seemed to be afraid of the energy of the golden spirit grass.

With a sudden inspiration, he injected the energy of the Golden Spirit Grass into the shield, which instantly emitted a dazzling golden light. The souls sensed this energy and cried out in pain, weakening their attacks considerably.

Ling Xiao seized this opportunity and quickly rushed to the side of the soul flower. He carefully pulled the soul flower up by the roots and placed it in a special container.

Just as he was about to leave, a powerful energy wave suddenly erupted from the center of the lake, and a huge soul vortex appeared on the lake, and a huge soul beast walked out of it.

This soul beast looks like a giant lion, but its body is made up of pure soul energy. Its eyes flash with cold light and it lets out a low roar.

Ling Xiao knew that this must be the final guardian of the soul flower. He must defeat this soul beast before he could leave with the soul flower.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and gathered the energy of the Golden Spirit Grass in his hand, forming a golden longsword. He brandished the longsword and rushed towards the soul beast.

The soul beast wasn't to be outdone, opening its maw and spewing out a powerful soul shockwave. Ling Xiao quickly dodged, swinging his sword at the soul beast's body.

The longsword collided with the soul beast's body, emitting a dazzling light. The soul beast roared in pain as a massive wound was cut into its body. The soul energy in the wound quickly dissipated. The soul beast was extremely angry, and it once again gathered its soul energy, preparing to launch an even more powerful attack.

Ling Xiao knew that he could not give the soul beast this opportunity. He quickly integrated the energy of the soul flower into the long sword, and the long sword instantly emitted a faint blue light.

Ling Xiao shouted loudly and rushed towards the soul beast, waving his sword.

The long sword drew a graceful arc and slashed towards the soul beast's head. The soul beast tried to dodge, but Ling Xiao's attack was too fast and it had no time to react.

With a loud bang, the long sword hit the soul beast's head. The soul beast's body collapsed instantly and turned into countless soul fragments that dissipated in the air.

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had finally succeeded in obtaining the Soul Flower. With the Soul Flower, Ling Xiao carefully left the forest and returned to the fields.

He planted the soul flower in a secluded corner of the field and, following the old tree spirit's instructions, used special runes and spells to nourish it.

Under Ling Xiao's careful care, the soul flower gradually adapted to the environment of the field and began to thrive.

As time passed, the soul flower finally bore fruit. These fruits were a crystal clear blue, emitting an enchanting light. Ling Xiao carefully picked a fruit and held it in his hand to examine it carefully.

He could feel the powerful soul energy contained in the fruit, which made him feel both excited and nervous.

Following the old tree spirit's instructions, Ling Xiao placed the soul fruit in his mouth and tasted it. The fruit melted in his mouth, transforming into a warm energy that quickly spread throughout his body.

This energy acted directly on his soul, greatly nourishing and strengthening it.

Ling Xiao could feel that his mental power was constantly improving, and his perception became sharper. He could sense movements from farther away and even see through some illusions and disguises.

He knew that he was one step closer to becoming truly powerful, and he became more determined to find a way home in this field.

Although the fruit of the soul flower brought great benefits to Ling Xiao, it also caused some unexpected consequences.

Ling Xiao discovered that his soul was becoming increasingly powerful, but also increasingly sensitive. He began to sense some of the soul fluctuations hidden in the dark, which sometimes made him feel uneasy and irritated.

One night, Ling Xiao was patrolling the fields when he suddenly sensed a strong spiritual wave coming from afar. He followed the wave's direction and discovered an area shrouded in dark energy.

In this area, there are some strange plants growing. Their leaves are black and their flowers emit a strange light.

Ling Xiao walked into this area cautiously. He found that these plants seemed to be controlled by some dark force. Their growth was very unstable and some plants had even begun to wither.

Ling Xiao was startled, knowing that this must be the work of the dark forces. At this moment, a deep voice sounded behind him:

"You're finally here, Ling Xiao."

Ling Xiao turned around and saw a figure covered in a black robe standing there. He had a sneer on his face and his eyes revealed endless malice.

Ling Xiao asked cautiously, "Who are you? What do you want to do?" The black-robed man sneered, "I am the master of this dark area. I sense the power of your soul, and I want to devour your soul to increase my strength."

Ling Xiao's heart sank. He knew this man in black was no good and that he had to be careful. The man in black stopped talking and extended a hand. A powerful dark energy surged from his hand, striking Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao dodged quickly, wielding his sword at the black-robed figure. The sword collided with the dark energy, emitting a dazzling light.

Ling Xiao felt a powerful force coming from the sword, and his body was shaken and took a few steps back.

The black-robed man sneered, "Your strength is not enough, Ling Xiao, just hand over your soul obediently."

Although Ling Xiao was a little afraid, he did not give up. He took a deep breath and gathered the energy of the soul flower in his hand, forming a blue lightsaber.

He brandished his lightsaber and rushed towards the black-robed man. The lightsaber collided with the dark energy again. This time, Ling Xiao felt that his soul power had been fully exerted, and his attack became more sharp.

The black-robed man roared, and his dark energy became more intense, trying to suppress Ling Xiao's attack.

Ling Xiao knew that he could not fight the man in black robe head-on, he had to find the man's weakness.

During the battle, Ling Xiao discovered that although the black robe man's dark energy was powerful, his soul was relatively fragile. Ling Xiao decided to start from the soul and attack the black robe man's soul.

Ling Xiao injected the energy of the Soul Flower into his lightsaber, which instantly emitted a dazzling blue light. He swung the lightsaber and slashed at the black-robed man's head.

The black-robed man felt this powerful soul energy and was startled, trying to dodge. However, Ling Xiao's attack was too fast, and the black-robed man had no time to react.

With a loud bang, the lightsaber struck the black-robed man's head. His body instantly collapsed, transforming into a stream of dark energy that dissipated into the air. Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had finally succeeded in defeating the black-robed man.

He looked at the area shrouded in dark energy, his heart filled with worry. He knew that the plants in this area were affected by the dark power, and if it was not dealt with in time, it would likely bring disaster to the entire field.

Ling Xiao decided to use his soul power to purify the area. He gathered the energy of the soul flower in his hand, forming a blue ball of light.

He threw the ball of light into the dark area, and it quickly spread in the air, forming a blue light that enveloped the entire area.

Under the blue light, the plants in the dark area gradually came back to life. Their leaves turned green again, and the flowers returned to their original color. Ling Xiao looked at this area that had regained its vitality, and his heart was filled with relief.

After this incident, Ling Xiao realized that although his soul power was strong, it also needed constant practice and improvement.

He began to work harder to cultivate his soul power, while also looking for ways to further enhance his soul power.

Under the guidance of the old tree spirit, Ling Xiao began to try to use the energy of the soul flower to cultivate his soul.

He would spend a certain amount of time every day, integrating the energy of the soul flower into his own soul, making his soul purer and stronger.

As Ling Xiao continued to practice and improve himself, he learned a legend about ancient ruins from the old tree spirit.

It is said that deep within this strange field lies an ancient relic containing a mysterious treasure that could determine the fate of the field.

This news made Ling Xiao very excited. He knew that if he could find this treasure, he might be able to find a way to completely crack the secret of the field and return to the real world.

So, Ling Xiao decided to embark on a journey to find the ruins.

He asked the old tree spirit about the possible direction of the ruins, and then headed deep into the field with some necessary items, such as food, water, weapons and some plant seeds.

The environment deep within the fields was even harsher than the areas Ling Xiao had explored before. The land had become even more barren, with almost no grass growing. The air was filled with a pungent odor that made breathing difficult.

Ling Xiao moved forward with difficulty, using the power of plants from time to time to purify the air around him so that he could breathe more smoothly.

After walking for a long time, Ling Xiao suddenly saw a ruin ahead. Scattered among the ruins were broken stones and broken walls, each inscribed with ancient runes. Ling Xiao examined the runes carefully and found them to be very similar to the ruins runes the old tree spirit had mentioned.

He was delighted, knowing that he might have found the entrance to the ruins. Ling Xiao searched the ruins and found a huge stone slab with a complex pattern carved on it.

He followed the method the old tree spirit had taught him, placing some plant seeds at specific locations on the pattern and then reciting an ancient spell. The stone slab slowly moved, revealing a dark hole.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and walked cautiously into the cave. The cave was pitch black, with only the faint light from the torch in his hand.

He walked along the narrow passage, and from time to time he heard some strange noises, as if something was peeping at him in the dark.

After walking for a while, Ling Xiao suddenly felt a strong energy wave coming from the front. He quickened his pace and arrived in front of a huge stone chamber.

There are some ancient utensils and treasure chests in the stone chamber, and the walls are engraved with exquisite murals depicting the ancient history and mysterious legends of this field.

In the center of the stone chamber sat a throne radiating golden light, and upon it rested a mysterious treasure. Ling Xiao approached and examined the treasure carefully. It took the shape of a crystal ball, imbued with a powerful energy that struck Ling Xiao as both familiar and unfamiliar.

At this moment, the door of the stone chamber suddenly closed, and a cold voice sounded in Ling Xiao's ears: "Outsider, how dare you break in here and try to steal our treasures?"

Ling Xiao turned around and saw a group of figures in black robes walking out of the darkness. They had hideous masks on their faces and held weapons emitting dark energy in their hands.

Ling Xiao knew these people must be the dark forces guarding the ruins. He gripped his weapon tightly and asked warily, "Who are you? Why are you trying to stop me?"

The black-robed man sneered, "We are the guardians of this field. Our mission is to protect this treasure and prevent it from falling into the hands of outsiders. Now that you are here, don't even think about leaving alive."
