Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 267 267:

After learning the location of the mysterious organization's magic circle and the time of the ceremony, Ling Xiao and others split into five groups without hesitation and quickly headed towards their respective targets.

Each group is shouldering the heavy responsibility of stopping the conspiracy of the mysterious organization and protecting the peace of the magical world. Their figures are firm and resolute, disappearing in the foggy depths of the sealed land.

Ling Xiao and Alice were in a group, running towards the northeast of the sealed area.

Along the way, the dense forest is like a green barrier, blocking out the sun. The thick fallen leaves on the ground make dull sounds underfoot, as if telling the antiquity and mystery of this land.

Suddenly, a strange swamp appeared in front of us. A thick layer of mucus floated on the dark green water, emitting a disgusting smell.

Huge bubbles emerged from the swamp from time to time, bursting with a "gurgling" sound, releasing a pungent miasma.

Ling Xiao frowned and stopped.

He knew very well that there were countless dangers hidden in the swamp, and if he was not careful he would fall into it and there would be no way out.

Alice walked up to him and used wind magic to gently blow away the miasma, trying to find a safe path.

She closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and felt the wind, trying to find a clue. However, the magical interference in the swamp was so strong that her perception became blurred.

"Ling Xiao, the magical fluctuations here are very chaotic. It's difficult for me to determine a safe route."

Alice said anxiously. Ling Xiao pondered for a moment and took out the mysterious bead.

The bead trembled slightly in his hand, emitting a soft light that illuminated the surrounding darkness.

With the help of the power of the mysterious beads, Ling Xiao tries to penetrate the fog of the swamp and explore the mystery within.

After some effort, he discovered that the magic circle in the swamp was similar to the magic circle arranged by the mysterious organization. These magic circles were intertwined to form a huge trap. Any creature that stepped into it would be swallowed up.

Ling Xiao told Alice about his discovery, and the two decided to move forward cautiously and tentatively.

Ling Xiao cast fire magic, forming a stream of hot air above the swamp in front of him, trying to evaporate some of the mucus so that he could see the situation below clearly.

Alice, on the other hand, kept a close eye on the surroundings. If there was any danger, she would immediately cast wind magic to lift Ling Xiao up. As they cautiously moved forward, they suddenly heard a low roar coming from the depths of the swamp.

Then, a gigantic swamp monster burst out of the water. It was massive, as tall as a two-story building, covered in slimy black scales, and emitting a suffocating stench.

Its eyes were like two giant red lanterns, flashing a fierce light, and its massive claws waved, stirring up a gust of fishy wind. Ling Xiao quickly cast lightning magic, sending thick bolts of lightning shooting towards the monster.

Lightning struck the monster, sending up sparks, but the monster didn't seem to be hurt too much. Instead, it was enraged and let out an earth-shaking roar, rushing towards Ling Xiao and Alice.

Alice waved her hands, and the wind magic formed a powerful airflow, trying to stop the monster's advance.

However, the monster's power was too great, and the airflow only caused it to pause briefly. Seeing this, Ling Xiao immediately merged his fire magic with his lightning magic, creating an even more powerful force, and attacked the monster again.

Flames and lightning intertwined together, like a burning meteor, hitting the monster's chest.

The monster let out a cry of pain and swayed a few times, but it still stood stubbornly. Just as Ling Xiao and Alice were engaged in a bitter battle with the swamp monster, David and Tom's group also encountered trouble.

They headed southeast and encountered a steep mountain on the way. The mountain was towering into the clouds, surrounded by thick clouds and mist, as if hiding countless secrets.

David used earth magic to try to find a way to climb the mountain.

He placed his hands on the ground, feeling the power of the earth, and discovered that there seemed to be some hollows hidden inside the mountain. These hollows were interconnected, forming a complex maze. David and Tom carefully entered the maze inside the mountain.

The maze was dark and damp, with a strange blue light flickering on the walls, which was emitted by a kind of moss growing in the darkness.

They walked along the narrow passage, and from time to time they heard strange noises coming from all directions, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them in the darkness.

Suddenly, a group of ghostly creatures appeared in front of them. These creatures were transparent and exuded a cold aura. Their bodies were looming in the blue light, like messengers from hell.

The ghost creature let out a sharp cry and pounced towards David and Tom. David quickly cast earth magic and built a solid earth wall to block the ghost creature's attack.

Tom cast healing magic in the back to provide David with a shield to prevent him from being harmed by ghostly creatures.

The ghost creatures kept hitting the earthen wall, making creepy noises. Under the continuous impact, cracks began to appear in the earthen wall, and David's magic power was constantly depleted.

Seeing this, Tom concentrated his mind and cast a powerful purification spell. A dazzling light shot out from his hand, illuminating the entire maze.

The ghost creatures uttered shrill cries under the illumination of the light and dissipated one after another. After dealing with the ghost creatures, David and Tom continued to move forward.

After countless times of getting lost and experiencing danger in the maze, they finally found a passage to the top of the mountain. When they reached the top, they discovered a huge magic circle on the top of the mountain. The magic circle exuded a strong dark aura, which was one of the magic circles set up by the mysterious organization.

At the same time, several other groups were also struggling to track them down. They encountered various powerful magical creatures and traps set by mysterious organizations, and each time they were on the verge of life and death.

However, they relied on their firm belief and tenacious will to escape danger time and time again. In the process, they deeply realized the cunning and evil of the mysterious organization, and became more determined to stop their conspiracy.

Ling Xiao and Alice gradually gained the upper hand in the battle with the swamp monster.

They cooperated with each other, constantly looking for the monster's weaknesses and launching deadly attacks. Finally, under their powerful magic attack, the swamp monster fell to the ground and turned into a pool of black slime.

Ling Xiao and Alice didn't bother to rest and continued on their way to their destination. They knew that time was running out, and every second they lost would increase the chances of the mysterious organization's conspiracy succeeding.

During the difficult tracking process, every member of Ling Xiao's team exerted their maximum potential.

They support and encourage each other and face various difficulties and challenges together.

Their figures shuttled through the depths of the sealed land, like a ray of light in the darkness, bringing hope to this land. But what awaited them was an even more difficult task - destroying the mysterious organization's magic circle and preventing the awakening of the demon god.

After Ling Xiao and Alice dealt with the swamp monster, they rushed non-stop towards the location of the mysterious organization's magic circle.

At the same time, David and Tom successfully reached the summit and discovered the magic circle on the top of the mountain. They quickly passed the message to other teammates.

The other three teams also went through hardships, overcame numerous obstacles set by the mysterious organization, and gradually approached their respective goals.

As time goes by, the full moon night is getting closer and closer. Everyone knows that they don’t have much time left, and every minute and every second is extremely precious.

While on the run, Ling Xiao and Alice discovered more clues left by the mysterious organization.

They followed these clues and eventually came to an ancient castle hidden deep in the valley.

This castle is like a dormant giant beast, lying quietly in the valley, exuding a gloomy atmosphere.

The outer wall of the castle is made of huge black stones, and the surface of the stones is engraved with strange runes. These runes flicker a faint dark red light in the dim light, as if telling an evil spell.

The castle gate was tightly closed, and a huge skull was embedded in each of the two huge door panels, with a chilling black mist emanating from the empty eye sockets.

Ling Xiao and Alice carefully walked around the castle and found that it was surrounded by powerful magical defenses.

A layer of transparent magic shield covered the entire castle, with strange magic patterns flowing on the shield. Any object trying to approach would be instantly bounced away.

Outside the shield, there is a circle of thorns formed by dark magic. The thorns are flickering with a faint light, and each one is extremely sharp and extremely poisonous.

"The defense of this castle is more difficult than we imagined."

Alice frowned and said solemnly.

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the castle. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "We can't act rashly. We must observe carefully and find a way to break through these defenses."

Just then, the rest of the team arrived. David and Tom brought detailed information about the magic circle on the mountaintop, and the other three groups reported their findings. Everyone gathered together to discuss their attack plan.

"Based on my perception of earth magic, there seems to be a magical energy source beneath the castle. These defensive spells are likely powered by it."

David pointed in the direction of the castle and said. Ling Xiao's eyes lit up, "If we can find and destroy this energy source, we might be able to break through the castle's defenses."

Alice suggested, "I can use wind magic to try to detect the layout of the castle and see if I can find a safe way into it."

Tom added, "I'll prepare healing magic and provide support to everyone at any time. Once the battle begins, the chances of everyone getting hurt will increase significantly."

Everyone expressed their opinions, and after a heated discussion, they finally formulated a detailed attack plan. They decided that Alice would first cast wind magic to explore the interior of the castle and find the location of the energy source.

Ling Xiao, David, and the other team members were responsible for attracting the attention of the mysterious organization to buy time for Alice. After Alice completed the detection, everyone worked together to break through the castle's defenses and destroy the magic circle.

With the plan complete, Alice stood at the front of the group, closed her eyes, and slowly raised her hands. The power of wind magic gathered around her, forming a gentle breeze.

The breeze gradually grew stronger, turning into a strong airflow, whistling towards the castle.

The air currents swirled around the castle like an invisible hand, penetrating the magic shield and thorn bushes, penetrating deep into the castle's interior. Alice, through her close connection with the air currents, sensed everything within the castle.

As Alice explored, pictures emerged in her mind.

The castle's interior was dark and damp, with burning black torches hanging from the walls and a pungent smell emanating from them. Members of a mysterious organization patrolled the corridors from time to time, their steps hurried and their expressions tense.

In the basement of the castle, Alice discovered a huge magic crystal. The crystal exuded strong dark magic power, which was the energy source of the castle's defense.

At the same time, she also discovered several passages leading to the basement, but each passage was full of traps and magic mechanisms.

Alice opened her eyes and told everyone the detected information in detail.

After hearing this, everyone felt worried about the complicated situation inside the castle, but also had a firm determination to face the upcoming battle.

"Now that we know the location of the energy source and the route of entry, we will act according to the plan."

Ling Xiao gripped his wand tightly and spoke firmly. David launched the first attack, casting earth magic and slamming his hands into the ground. Instantly, the ground around the castle began to shake violently, and huge cracks spread towards the castle.

The members of the mysterious organization were frightened by the sudden tremor and rushed out of the castle, observing their surroundings vigilantly. Seeing this, Ling Xiao immediately cast a fire magic.

A raging fire erupted from the tip of his wand, like a surging wave of fire, rushing towards the castle's magical shield. The flames made contact with the shield, emitting a dazzling light, and the huge energy impact caused the magical patterns on the shield to flicker violently.

The other team members also cast magic. For a moment, the magic light illuminated the entire valley, and the shouts of killing were deafening. The members of the mysterious organization reacted quickly and cast dark magic to fight back.

A black mist spread out, attempting to swallow up the magical attacks of Ling Xiao and the others. Sharp blades formed by dark magic danced in the air, attacking everyone.

Ling Xiao and the others cleverly dodged the attacks while continuously launching more fierce magical attacks. In the fierce battle, Alice took advantage of the moment when the mysterious organization members were distracted, cast wind magic, and flew towards the castle.

Her body moved lightly in the wind, skillfully avoiding attacks from magic shields and thorn bushes.

After entering the castle, she followed the path she had previously detected and rushed towards the basement. Inside the castle, Alice moved forward cautiously, always alert to the traps and magical devices around her.

She used wind magic to sense the magical fluctuations around her and avoided many dangers in advance.
