Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 262 262:

Ling Xiao and others quickly adjusted their formation in the face of the black mist emitted by the devil's minions.

Alice stood at the front of the team, waving her hands and casting wind magic, trying to blow away the black mist that was surging like a surging tide.

The strong airflow formed by the wind magic collided violently with the black mist. For a moment, the airflow in the corridor was turbulent and the wind was howling.

However, the mist of the demon's minions seemed to contain powerful dark magic. Although Alice's wind magic temporarily blocked the advance of the mist, it was difficult to completely dispel it.

Seeing this, David immediately cast earth magic.

He pressed his hands on the ground and muttered something. The ground quickly rose up, and thick earth walls rose from the ground, forming a solid line of defense in front of everyone.

The black mist hit the earth wall, making a sizzling sound, as if trying to corrode the barrier.

Ling Xiao was behind the earth wall, concentrating his magic power on his wand. His eyes were firm as he carefully observed the every move of the demon's minions, looking for their flaws.

The devil's minions laughed sharply and waved the glowing magic wand in their hands. Suddenly, several black tentacles emerged from the black mist and attacked everyone like nimble pythons.

The tentacles moved at an extremely fast speed, accompanied by a whistling sound. Wherever they passed, the air was torn into black cracks.

Alice quickly dodged sideways and released several wind blades at the same time, trying to cut off the tentacles.

The wind blade struck the tentacle with pinpoint accuracy, only sending up a shower of black sparks. The tentacle paused briefly before continuing its advance. David manipulated the earth wall to keep the tentacle out.

However, the tentacles were so powerful that they kept hitting the earth wall, causing cracks to appear on the wall.

Tom was at the back of the team, concentrating on maintaining defensive magic and providing shields for his teammates. At the same time, he kept a close eye on everyone's condition and was ready to cast healing magic at any time.

Ling Xiao seized the opportunity and cast a fire spell. He chanted the ancient spell, and the tip of his wand instantly ignited with a blazing fire. The flames surged like a surging wave, sweeping towards the demon's minions.

The demon's minion seemed to be afraid of fire magic. It waved its wand and formed a black shield in front of it to resist the fire attack.

The flames came into contact with the black shield, causing a violent explosion. The entire corridor was illuminated by light and waves of heat rolled in.

Taking advantage of the gap between the demon's minions resisting the flames, Alice cast wind magic, gently lifting Ling Xiao and David's bodies, making them leap high. Ling Xiao and David adjusted their posture in the air and launched an attack at the same time.

Ling Xiao cast lightning magic, and thick lightning bolts shot out from the tip of his wand, carrying powerful electric currents, striking the demon's minions; David compressed the earth magic power in his hand into a huge earth ball and smashed it hard at the demon's minions.

The demon's minion waved his wand, attempting to block the two's attacks. Black mist condensed in front of it, forming a solid defensive barrier.

The lightning struck the barrier, emitting a dazzling light, and the black mist was instantly dispelled in part; the earth ball hit the barrier, making a dull sound, and a noticeable dent appeared on the barrier.

During the fierce battle, Ling Xiao discovered that the movements of the demon's minions seemed to become slower with the passage of time, and some loopholes appeared in its defense.

He realized that although the demon's minions were powerful, prolonged battles were also consuming their magic power.

Ling Xiao informed his teammates of this discovery, and they decided to seize the opportunity and launch a fierce attack. Alice used all her wind magic, creating a powerful tornado in the corridor, sucking in all the remaining black mist.

The tornado roared towards the demon's minions, who struggled to resist in the tornado.

Ling Xiao, David and Tom took the opportunity to concentrate their magic power and launched a combination attack of fire, earth and healing magic.

The flames enveloped the earth ball, and with the aid of healing magic, it rushed towards the demon's minions like a burning meteor. The demon's minions tried to dodge, but the tornado restricted their movements.

The attack hit the demon minion with a loud bang. The demon minion's body was blown away by the powerful force and hit the wall at the end of the corridor heavily.

A huge dent appeared on the wall, and the demon's minions lay in the ruins, breathing weakly.

Ling Xiao and others approached cautiously, only to see the body of the demon's minions gradually dissipate, leaving only a magic wand emitting a faint light.

Ling Xiao picked up the wand and looked at it carefully, and found that the wand was engraved with mysterious runes, which emitted faint dark magic power.

He guessed that this magic wand might be closely related to the devil, and might be able to help them fight against the devil.

After defeating the demon's minions, the group continued to advance deeper into the castle. At the end of the corridor, a huge stone door appeared. The stone door was engraved with strange patterns, which seemed to contain powerful magical powers.

Ling Xiao used the knowledge he learned from the mysterious beads and the ancient books of the Magic Guild to carefully study the patterns on the stone gate.

He discovered that these patterns were an ancient magical code that required specific magical powers to decipher.

Ling Xiao told his teammates about his discovery, and everyone cast their own magic to inject magic power into the stone gate.

As the magic power was injected, the pattern on the stone door gradually lit up, the light becoming more and more dazzling. Suddenly, the stone door made a dull roar and slowly opened.

Behind the door was a huge circular hall with an extremely high ceiling inlaid with countless gems emitting soft light, like a brilliant starry sky.

The hall's floor was paved with massive stone slabs, inscribed with intricate magical arrays. In the center, a massive stone platform sat upon which rested a faintly glowing book. Ling Xiao and the others approached the platform. As they approached, they sensed a powerful surge of magic emanating from the book.

Ling Xiao picked up the book carefully. As soon as he touched it, the book emitted a dazzling light, and countless words and images seemed to flash in the light.

Ling Xiao closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and tried to decipher the information contained in the book.

In his mind, images emerged one after another. In the images, the people of the Magic Kingdom, after sealing the Demon, left many important clues and powerful magical powers in these ruins to prevent the Demon from waking up again.

This book holds the key to unlocking these secrets. It contains the demon's weaknesses, the complete method for sealing it, and the locations of other powerful magical items hidden within the ruins. Ling Xiao opened his eyes and shared the book's contents with his teammates, who reacted with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

They knew they were one step closer to completely destroying the Demon, but they also faced a greater challenge. According to the book, they needed to find three magical keys within the ruins to unlock the door to the core area where the Demon was sealed. Only by entering this core area could they truly strengthen the seal on the Demon and even have a chance to completely destroy it.

Ling Xiao and the others took a short break in the hall to recover their physical strength and magic power. They carefully studied the clues in the book and made a plan to find the magic key.

Then they left the circular hall and headed deeper into the ruins, ready to face new challenges.

During the exploration, they discovered that the ruins were hidden with many traps and dangerous magical creatures.

Some traps are made up of powerful magic circles, which will release powerful magic attacks once triggered; some magical creatures hide in dark corners, waiting for their prey to arrive.

Ling Xiao and his companions, relying on their keen observation and powerful magic power, repeatedly avoided traps and defeated magical creatures. During one of their explorations, they came to a huge cave.

The cave was filled with a pungent smell and the ground was covered with strange crystals.

Alice cast wind magic to blow away some of the smell, and everyone walked into the cave cautiously.

They discovered that the crystals in the cave seemed to have some connection with the power of the demon. These crystals emitted a faint black light, as if absorbing the surrounding magical energy.

David used earth magic to try to detect whether there was any secret hidden under the crystal. He found a huge cavity under the crystal, and there seemed to be a powerful force surging in the cavity.

Ling Xiao guessed that the magic key might be hidden in this hole.

They decided to go deeper into the cave to find out what was going on. They walked along the narrow and winding passage in the cave, and strange noises were heard from time to time.

At the end of the passage, they saw a door emitting a black glow, with a huge magic circle engraved on it. Ling Xiao and the others knew that the magic key was likely behind the door...

Ling Xiao and others stood in front of the door emitting black light, feeling nervous and expectant.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, calmed his inner excitement, and stretched out his hand first, slowly injecting magic power into the wand in his hand. The gem on the top of the wand flickered, echoing with the magic circle on the door.

At the same time, Alice, David and Tom also cast their own magic, continuously transmitting magic power.

As everyone poured in their magic power, the magic circle on the door glowed brighter and brighter. The originally complex rune lines seemed to be activated, and began to flow slowly, making a slight buzzing sound.

Suddenly, there was a dull vibration from the door, and then it slowly opened to both sides.

A gust of old wind with a strong magical scent blew in their faces. Everyone subconsciously tightened their weapons and looked vigilantly at the situation behind the door.

Behind the door was a large cavernous space, completely different from the passage they had previously passed through.

The walls of the cave are inlaid with strange crystals. These crystals emit a faint black light, making the entire cave look gloomy and mysterious.

Stalactites of various shapes hang upside down on the top of the cave. Some are slender and sharp, like sharp blades that may fall at any time; some are thick and solid, like giant pillars supporting the sky and the earth.

The ground is covered with intricate stalagmites, some of which look like ferocious monsters with bared fangs and claws; some look like graceful dancers with graceful postures, but they appear particularly terrifying in this strange atmosphere.

Ling Xiao held the magic wand and stepped into the cave carefully, taking every step extremely cautiously and scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Alice followed closely behind, wind magic flowing gently around her, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

David lowered his hands slightly, establishing a close connection with the earth. Earth magic surged in his body. If there was any danger, he could quickly build fortifications.

Tom was paying close attention to the condition of his teammates, with the power of healing magic gathered in his palm, ready to provide support to injured teammates at any time.

As they journeyed through the winding cave passage, strange noises were heard from time to time. Sometimes it was a low roar, as if from an ancient beast sleeping deep in the cave; sometimes it was a sharp whistle, as if some evil creature was moving through the darkness.

Every sound made their nerves tense and their heartbeats quickened involuntarily.

As they went deeper into the cave, they found that the crystals emitting black light became increasingly dense, and there seemed to be some mysterious connection between the crystals. The light intertwined with each other, forming strange light and shadows.

Ling Xiao approached a larger crystal and observed it carefully. He found that there seemed to be some blurry images flowing inside the crystal, like fragments of memories sealed within it.

He stretched out his hand and gently touched the crystal. An icy chill instantly spread throughout his body. At the same time, some fragmented images flashed through his mind: the huge figure of the demon god was looming in the darkness, surrounded by a chaotic battlefield, magical light and black mist intertwined, and people's screams were endless.

Ling Xiao abruptly withdrew his hand, feeling horrified. He realized that these crystals were likely closely related to the power of the demon god and past wars.

At this moment, Alice, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly stopped and said solemnly, "Everyone, be careful. I sense a powerful magical fluctuation ahead, and it carries a strong dark aura."

Everyone immediately became alert and took combat stances. Ling Xiao gripped his wand tightly, his eyes determined as he spoke, "No matter what lies ahead, we'll face it together."

Continuing forward, they came to a spacious cave hall. In the center of the hall stood a huge stone platform, on which sat a box emitting a faint glow.

The box is made of an unknown black metal, and the surface is engraved with complex runes. The runes flicker with a faint light, as if telling ancient secrets.

Ling Xiao and the others slowly approached the stone platform. When they were a few steps away from the box, suddenly, black flames burst out from the walls around the hall and surrounded them.

The black flames emitted a pungent smell and were extremely hot, burning everyone's faces.

At the same time, the ground around the stone platform began to shake violently, and skeleton warriors formed by black mist slowly rose from the ground.

These skeleton warriors held black weapons, with red light flashing in their empty eye sockets, exuding a terrifying aura.

David quickly cast earth magic, building a solid earth wall around them to block the black flames. Alice waved her hands and cast wind magic, trying to blow away the black flames.
