Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 42: First Entering the Cave

Bayi Cleaver: "Brother Xiao, do you want to be the guild leader?"

【Xiao: "No."】

Although I don't know what the other party's purpose is for giving up the chairman's seat at this critical juncture when the trial just ended.

But Ling Xiao knows very well that anyone who shows kindness without any reason is either a traitor or a thief!
Now that I've been interrupted like this, it's time to stop being happy and think about the reality.

Looking up, there was flat land all around.

There was not a single living creature in sight.

The time now is 8:06.

Ling Xiao didn't dare to look at the "sun" for too long, and instead lowered his head to observe his own shadow.

Tucked in at the feet, no deviation.

He seemed to be at the center of an equilateral triangle formed by three suns.

Strange, but didn't think much about it.

He was not an astronomy expert, so he could only notice the strangeness, but he could not use it as a basis for judgment or speculation.

Fortunately, after daybreak, the fog will dissipate and it should be much easier to move than at night.

The terrain where Ling Xiao is currently located looks like a dry river valley.

And judging from the distance between the cliffs on both sides, the original scale of the river was terrifying!
Wangshan is a dead horse.

Even if he chose the closer side, Ling Xiao would probably still have to walk for half a day.

After the fog that interfered with vision disappeared, the map showed new changes.

The visible "road conditions" expanded instantly, but there was no labeling of information such as resources. I'm afraid it will have to be completed after on-the-ground measurement.

In addition, Ling Xiao also discovered something very strange.

Several dark "holes" of varying sizes appeared in the field of vision.

Some look like piles of earth, while others are simply "laid" there nakedly. If you are not careful, you might step on empty air!
His left hand touched nothing, and Ling Xiao panicked instinctively but reacted immediately.

Daybreak came and the bonfire was gone.

No need to guard the torch so tightly.

With a self-deprecating smile, he put away the forge, tent and other miscellaneous items, and walked towards a nearby cave entrance with the iron spear in hand.

The "sunshine" is not bright, more like a faint light.

Inside the cave is a passage extending diagonally downwards.

It is about two meters high and one meter wide.

Although he was curious, Ling Xiao did not rush in.

If the space inside is still like this, or even narrower, and I can't move around if I encounter danger, I will be in a very passive position.

It is not impossible to capsize in the ditch!

With an idea, he tried to throw an Eye of Identification inside.

[A relatively low-level cave, possibly containing monsters and treasures...]

Apart from this, there is no other information.

"Mist...it should be the kind of fog we see at night. Is this the cave?"

The light can only barely illuminate one or two meters into the cave, and the naked eye can't see anything.

Ling Xiao took out a wooden stick and threw it in.

After a few bumps, there was no more sound. I didn't know whether it stopped on the ground or went to another dimension.

"Tsk... that's difficult!"

To be on the safe side, Ling Xiao did not enter.

Even though he is one of the only two level 5 explorers now, he is still ranked second among more than explorers in the entire region.

Facing the unknown terror, he was no different from a rookie who passively completed the trial.

There is absolutely no need for him to take this risk, as the benefits are unknown, the value is low, and there is a lack of intelligence.

With so many people in the channel, there must be some brave heroes!
Anyway, caves are not scarce, they are even everywhere!

It’s not too late for Ling Xiao to take action after learning from other people’s experiences.

"It's daybreak. Have all the monsters hidden in the caves..." He made a simple guess based on the ambiguous clues.

Mainly because it's too empty.

Without seeing a single hair, it's hard not to wonder if these monsters only come out at night.

After heated discussions and information exchanges, the explorers in the channel also came to a conclusion that most people agreed with:
After eight o'clock, it's daytime!
When is the right time to collect resources and explore the unknown?!
People's subjective initiative is fully activated at this moment.

Bayi Cleaver: "Everyone! We're not sure how long the daytime will last, but at the moment, the danger should be far less than at night! I hope everyone will race against time and get the job done! Try to gather all the resources before dark, so we can spend the night together!"

The president raised his arm and called out, and everyone responded.

Ling Xiao echoed a few polite words and started his own actions.

Don’t rush into the cave, collect other exposed resources at the bottom of the valley first!

Coming to the black sandstone where he had killed the Soul Badger family before, he took out a pickaxe and crushed the remaining stones and put them away.

There was no trace of blood on the ground.

The only traces left of those lively soul badgers were the decomposed materials in his backpack.

Then Ling Xiao chose the valley slope on the east side and prepared to go up from there.

The road is a bit long, but the best time to set off is the moment you make up your mind.

As long as you keep walking, you will arrive sooner or later.

They dug and knocked here and there along the way, with the main goal of taking something away if they passed by.

At half past eleven, Ling Xiao stopped moving forward and decided to take a break.

He hadn't felt it before, but these few hours of alternating work and recovery gave him a deeper understanding of physical strength.

Without the help of external forces such as props, restoring physical strength requires consuming the body's "essence".

If you don’t get replenished for a long time, not only will your recovery rate slow down, but your overall condition will also decline.

It seems that explorers are not "immortals" who do not eat grains.

Without saving the energy bar, Ling Xiao directly tore open one and swallowed it like sucking jelly.

I smacked my lips, but couldn't taste anything.

Then have another one!
It’s not that he is extravagant, it’s just that he really didn’t replenish enough, so he is still a little hungry!

It seems that after my physique has grown rapidly, the energy bar that used to last for three days is now a little insufficient...

"The texture is a bit like jelly, but the taste is hard to describe. It's not bad, but it's not delicious..."

Just a few simple comments.

Ling Xiao picked up the iron spear newly produced by the forge, announced it in the channel, and put it on the shop.

As a master of time management, I have to eat my own food during lunch time and also feed some ore to the forge.

After the first morning of free activities, the most obvious change for the explorers was that they had more or less obtained resources and had money in their hands!
Up to now, Lingxiao Store has sold less than a thousand iron spears, which is too small compared to the total number of more than nine thousand people!
In his spare time, he paid attention to other guilds.

It goes without saying that the fully staffed [Light of Green Mountain] and [Ambition and Hegemony] are worth noting that there are more than a dozen newly established guilds that are actively recruiting people.

And looking at the names, they all have their own characteristics.

There are many headhunters who come to poach Ling Xiao, and they chat with him privately, saying things like, "Boss, are you willing to be number two on the list for the rest of your life?" and "A real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for a long time?"

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. So, the strategists are here!?

After eating and drinking, Ling Xiao also collected a lot of information about the cave.

To put it simply, they are small strongholds and mazes.

There may be only an unattended treasure chest inside, or a group of goblins may come out and knock you out and take you away.

In short, the details are hard to predict, and blessings and disasters are interdependent.

Snap your fingers and Embers will activate in "lighting" mode with no consumption.

Under the dim skylight, a burst of bright and blazing "fire" light appeared.

Ling Xiao chose a more spacious cave and changed into a machete.

The overall level is low, so even if there is any danger, it shouldn't be that great...

So, let’s start gambling!
