Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 260 260: Don’t order yet!

Ling Xiao, filled with curiosity and a faint sense of uneasiness, slowly pushed open the door engraved with a huge eye.

The door hinge turned, making a low and long "creaking" sound, as if announcing the opening of a new world.

As the door slowly opened, a fresh and warm breath filled the air, a stark contrast to the oppressive and gloomy atmosphere within the cave. Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, adjusting to the sudden brightness. When he took in the scene before him, he was stunned.

Behind the door was a vast world, where sunlight poured down unreservedly, coating everything with a layer of golden glow.

There is a soft carpet-like grass under my feet. The tender green grass leaves sway gently in the breeze. Crystal dewdrops hang on the tips of the grass, sparkling with colorful light in the sunlight, like tiny gems.

In the distance, the mountains are rolling, the tops of which are covered with snow, shining with holy light under the sunlight.

In the sky, colorful clouds of various shapes float leisurely, sometimes like galloping horses, sometimes like blooming flowers, like a dream.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath. The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants and the scent of soil, which made him feel relaxed and happy. He took a slow step and stepped into this magical world. The grass under his feet was soft and elastic, as if gently welcoming him.

Not far away, a crystal-clear stream gurgles, its water crashing against rocks and creating a melodious sound, like a cheerful melody. Colorful fish swim in the stream, their scales gleaming in the sunlight.

In the center of this vibrant world, stands an ancient castle.

The castle is built of huge stones with delicate patterns carved on the surface. Although it has gone through the baptism of time, it still exudes a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.

The castle's spire soars into the clouds, and the flag on top of the tower flutters in the breeze. The pattern on the flag seems familiar, but it is difficult to remember for the moment.

Ling Xiao's eyes were deeply attracted by the castle, and he could not help but walk towards it. Along the way, Ling Xiao discovered many strange plants.

There is a kind of plant that looks like a giant mushroom. Its cap is more than one person tall. Its surface is flashing with a faint blue fluorescence, emitting a faint halo that illuminates a small area around it.

A closer look reveals the canopy is covered in fine lines, like ancient writing, seemingly telling an untold story. There's also a vine bearing vibrant, heart-shaped, and fragrant red fruits.

As Ling Xiao approached, the vines seemed to come alive, gently twisting and trembling, the fruits trembling slightly, as if inviting him in. As he drew closer to the castle, Ling Xiao felt an increasing sense of its mysterious aura.

The castle gate was closed tightly, and there were complicated patterns carved on the door, which seemed to hide some mysterious power.

Ling Xiao observed these patterns carefully and found that they were similar to the runes he had seen on the walls of the passage before, but they were more complex and profound.

He reached out and gently touched the pattern on the door. As soon as his fingertips touched, he felt a weak electric current. At the same time, some vague images flashed through his mind, like some ancient rituals and mysterious scenes, but they disappeared in a flash.

Ling Xiao paced around the castle, trying to find another way in. The castle walls were tall and smooth, with almost no places to climb.

On the side of the castle, he found a small window, which was half-open and let in a faint light.

Ling Xiao approached the window cautiously, stood on tiptoe and looked inside. Inside the window was a dim room filled with some old furniture covered in a thick layer of dust. It looked like no one had lived there for a long time.

There were some portraits hanging on the walls of the room. The people in the portraits had serious expressions and deep eyes, as if they were staring at him. Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment and decided to enter the castle through the window.

He cast a spell to make his body light, then with a light leap, he grabbed the edge of the window. He carefully flipped through the window, trying to make as little noise as possible when he landed.

After entering the room, he looked around and found a door in the corner. The door was slightly open, and a ray of light came through. Ling Xiao walked towards the door, taking every step with extreme caution, holding the magic wand tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

When he reached the door, he heard a slight noise behind it, as if someone was moving around.

Ling Xiao's heart suddenly tightened. He held his breath, raised his wand in front of him, and slowly pushed the door open.

Behind the door was a long corridor with many torches hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor. The torches were burning, illuminating the corridor.

At the end of the corridor, a blurry figure flashed by, so fast that it was impossible to see clearly. Ling Xiao took a deep breath and chased towards the end of the corridor. His footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and were particularly clear.

When he reached the end of the corridor, he found a spiral staircase that wound its way up to a higher point in the castle. Ling Xiao climbed the stairs without hesitation.

The stairs are narrow and steep, and you can feel the slight shaking of the stairs with every step.

As he continued to climb, Ling Xiao felt the temperature around him gradually drop, and a slight chill filled the air. At the corner of the stairs, he discovered a huge mural.

The mural depicts a fierce battle between a magician in gorgeous magic robes on one side and a hideous demon on the other.

The magicians cast powerful spells, the light flashed, and the demons bared their fangs and claws, fighting hard.

Ling Xiao stood in front of the mural, carefully observing every detail. He found that the magic used by the magicians in the mural was very different from what he had learned, but there seemed to be some connection between them.

Ling Xiao continued to walk up the stairs, his heart filled with anticipation and nervousness for the unknown.

He didn't know what was waiting for him at the top of the castle, but he firmly believed that there must be important secrets about this sealed land hidden there.

Finally, his door was engraved with complex patterns just like the castle gate, but these patterns were more mysterious and emitted powerful magical fluctuations.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and reached out to push the door, but the door didn't move at all.

He looked around the door carefully and found a groove on it. The shape of the groove was very similar to the mysterious bead he had obtained before.

Ling Xiao's heart moved. He took out the mysterious bead and slowly placed it into the groove.

As soon as the bead was placed, a dazzling light emanated, and the pattern on the door also lit up. Then, the door slowly made a low rumbling sound and began to slowly open.

As the door opened, a powerful magical aura rushed towards him, and Ling Xiao couldn't help but shudder. He gripped his wand tightly, ready for battle, and slowly walked through the door.

Inside the door was a huge circular room. In the center of the room stood a huge stone platform, on which sat a book emitting faint light.

Ling Xiao slowly approached the stone platform, his gaze riveted by the book. A strong premonition welled up in his heart: this book might be the key to unlocking all the secrets of this sealed land. Filled with nervous anticipation, Ling Xiao slowly approached the shimmering book.

On the stone platform, the cover of the book is made of an ancient material, engraved with strange patterns. Those patterns seem to have life, flickering and flowing slightly in the dim light.

His hand trembled slightly as he reached out for the book. The moment his fingertips touched the cover, a warm power came over him, as if the book was responding to his arrival.

Gently open the book, and on the first page is a beautiful illustration depicting a magnificent magical kingdom.

In the kingdom, towering magic towers reach the sky, the streets are bustling with traffic, and magicians dressed in gorgeous robes cast all kinds of magical spells, shining brightly.

The scene was so vivid that Ling Xiao could almost hear the bustle of the streets and feel the surging power of magic. Beneath the illustration was an ancient text, written in an elegant yet solemn hand.

Although Ling Xiao was not familiar with this kind of text, he was able to barely recognize some of the content with his understanding of the mysterious symbols accumulated during the exploration process and some ancient memories given to him by the mysterious beads.

Written records indicate that this land was once a powerful and prosperous magical kingdom, where magical power permeated every corner of people's lives.

The magicians in the kingdom are gifted. They not only master the exquisite use of elemental magic, but can also resonate harmoniously with the power of nature.

However, the peace was shattered by a sudden disaster. The Hell Demon, coveting the magic of this land, led his demon army from the dark abyss, sweeping across the kingdom like a surging black tide.

Ling Xiao continued to turn the pages, and the next page showed a fierce war scene.

The demons have hideous appearances and are surrounded by evil black flames. Wherever they go, houses collapse and lives are destroyed.

The guardians of the magic kingdom rose up to resist. They gathered their strength and cast a powerful combined magic to try to resist the invasion of the demon.

The sky in the picture was stained with a chaotic haze of magical light and black mist, and the earth trembled and cracked in the aftermath of the battle. As the pages turned, Ling Xiao came across the record of the sealed demon god.

When their lives are at stake, the most powerful magicians in the magic kingdom decide to cast a forbidden magic.

They exhausted all their life's magic power to seal the demon under this land.

In order to ensure the stability of the seal, they also set up numerous mechanisms and protections at the sealed location.

The mysterious bead in Ling Xiao's hand is one of the key items in the sealing ceremony. It carries powerful magical power and is an important source of power to protect the seal.

The book also mentions that deep in the castle, there is a mysterious magic circle hidden, which is closely related to the power to seal the demon.

If the magic circle can be activated, not only can the seal on the demon be strengthened, but a way to leave this sealed place can also be found. However, the magic circle is cast with a powerful protective magic and requires a specific key and magic spell to open.

Ling Xiao closed the book, his mind racing. He finally understood his mission and the importance of the secret hidden deep within the castle.

He looked around. There were several huge tapestries hanging on the walls of the circular room. The patterns on the tapestries seemed to tell the history of the magic kingdom.

He walked over to one of them and examined it carefully. The tapestry depicted a magician holding a crystal ball, standing on the top of a towering mountain, gazing into the distance.

A strange light flickered in the crystal ball, as if it contained a prophecy of the future. In the corner of the room stood a huge bookshelf filled with various books and scrolls.

Ling Xiao walked over and picked up a book at random, and found that it was a collection of magic spells.

He browsed through them quickly, hoping to find the spell related to opening the magic circle.

Although most of the spells were obscure and difficult to understand, he did not give up and read through them one by one.

While flipping through the books, he noticed a secret compartment at the bottom of the shelf. On the compartment was a small rune lock, which emitted a faint blue light.

Ling Xiao relies on his research on runes to try to decipher the runes on the lock.

After some effort, he discovered that these runes were an ancient code that represented a specific sequence of magical elements. He followed the sequence he had deciphered, gently touching the runes with his wand, and the secret compartment slowly opened.

There was an antique key in the secret compartment, and the key handle was engraved with a mysterious pattern similar to the castle gate.

Ling Xiao picked up the key, a glimmer of hope welling up in his heart. He guessed that this key might be the key to unlocking the magic circle deep inside the castle.

Leaving the circular room, Ling Xiao walked along a narrow corridor. On the walls of the corridor were many portraits, all of which were important figures in the Magic Kingdom.

Their eyes were deep, as if they were watching Ling Xiao's every move. Ling Xiao walked while observing the portraits, trying to find more clues about the Magic Kingdom from their faces and clothing. As he walked, he came to a huge door.

The door was tightly closed, with complex magical symbols engraved on it. Ling Xiao took out the key he had found from the secret compartment and inserted it into the keyhole.

The key turned, making a crisp "click" sound, and the door slowly opened.

Behind the door is a huge hall with a very high ceiling inlaid with sparkling gems, like the stars in the night sky.

The floor of the hall is paved with huge stone slabs, on which are engraved mysterious magic circles.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge statue. It is a magician in gorgeous robes, holding a wand in his hand, and the gem on the top of the wand emits a faint light.

Ling Xiao approached the statue and found a text engraved on the base of the statue. The text recorded that this magician played an important role in the battle to seal the demon god and was one of the heroes of the magic kingdom.

Ling Xiao paced around the statue, carefully observing every detail of the hall.

He found that there was a huge magic crystal in each of the four corners of the hall, and the crystals emitted light of different colors.

He tried touching the crystal with his wand, and the crystal vibrated slightly and the light became brighter.
