Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 48: Shadow of the Night

The hunting frenzy has long been activated.

【Agility】, after the accumulation of various improvements, is one of the few attributes in which Ling Xiao has an advantage.

The Shadow Tiger was coming at him aggressively, and he wanted to take a hard hit to test the waters.

But instinctive fear prevailed, and he rationally chose a safer option.

He dodged lightly and swung his machete!

chap——

A line of blood spilled out.

Both sides landed almost at the same time.

The Shadow Tiger hadn't been injured for a long time, and the pain made it extremely ferocious.

A low whimper was heard.

Right under Ling Xiao's eyes, a huge monster disappeared into the air.

"Gone! Shadow Stealth!?"

Conjectures flashed through my mind.

Ling Xiao, who has rich combat experience, ignored the losses and instantly activated the [Shock] of Embers!
The man and the beast passed each other not far away.

If he hesitated for a moment, the tiger claws as big as a washbasin would have reached his face when they appeared again!
Be shocked but not panic.

While releasing control, Ling Xiao did not sit still and wait for death.

While delaying possible attacks, retreat quickly!

Keep a safe distance.

It seemed that the shock had taken effect, or it might have existed before, but he didn't see it clearly in his haste.

In the space not far in front of him, a transparent outline flashed.

At the same time, something like a chain seemed to be thrown over!

There is no way to avoid it!

The attack discovered by spiritual vision was not something Ling Xiao could dodge simply by dodging quickly.

Dang clang——

Along with the sound that seemed to resound through the soul, an unsettling feeling of restraint came over me.

Fortunately, with ordinary-level soul resistance, the impact on Ling Xiao has been reduced to the lowest level.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he reached into his trouser pocket and activated another soul-related talent!

Confused thinking!

Without clear content, it is impossible to aim at a clear goal.

Release it directly forward, just to delay the opponent as much as possible!
The transparent silhouette that was running silently suddenly stopped, as if there was some discordant reaction in the body.

Ling Xiao was agile and did not make any stupid moves such as dropping items.

He raised his hand and threw the soothing potion over!
The sleeping spell followed closely behind, and spiritual power was injected crazily, activating it instantly!
The two props acted on the shadow tiger in no particular order.

Visible dullness occurs.

Ling Xiao did not use the instant soul-sucking piercing skill, for fear that it would wake the monster up with a slap.

Keep outputting!

Put all the control on the Shadow Tiger!

The strange creature that was forced to exit stealth mode was obviously still a little dazed.

His steps seemed a little unsteady, and his originally ferocious tiger eyes also looked a little confused.

Just when it was trying to sense the location of its prey through soul resonance, it found that it was very close...

歘!
The machete pierced into the neck, and the blood-red flames burning on it spread all over the body of the Shadow Tiger.

Lowly food, actually biting back!?

"Roar!"

The Soul Hunting Roar and Phantom Dream were intertwined and used without any reservation.

Unfortunately, Ling Xiao had already let go, discarded this most handy weapon, and crouched down to go around to the side of the Shadow Tiger.

It seemed as if the soul was roared out of its body.

Fortunately, an iron spear had already appeared out of nowhere and stabbed out fiercely before Ling Xiao was affected!
puff!

The intact right eye was destroyed, and the soul fire burning in the left eye socket suddenly shook.

This is the most serious injury Shadow Tiger has ever suffered since its birth!

But it's not over yet!
When it lost its mind and instinctively swung its claws to fight back, Ling Xiao changed weapons again.

He didn't grab the iron spear to fight.

Let it be carried away by the raised tiger head.

Enduring the pain in his soul, Ling Xiao summoned the machete that had been with him the longest.

Spiritual power is leaking wildly and the upper limit is burning!
As several extremely sharp light blades slashed towards the same position, the power of deterrence and purification also appeared!

The Shadow Tiger was suppressed instantly and the strange state on its body was removed.

All defenses seemed to melt away.

Puff puff--

The overlapping blows completely shattered the strange creature's neck, sending its massive head flying. Its expression remained frozen in a moment of pain and fury. Before it even touched the ground, the shadowy blade of light approached, chopping the tiger's head completely apart before it ceased.

But Ling Xiao hasn't stopped yet.

He picked up the fallen machete and chopped the headless tiger corpse with all his might.

Until the flesh and blood are blurred and the bones are broken, the golden light representing experience flies out.

He then thrust the knife into the ground in pain from the lack of spiritual power to steady his body.

"Huh... it's... it's really hard to kill!"

"But! I'm still better..."

This battle was extremely dangerous.

If it weren't for the talents and items like soul resistance and soul-soothing potions, even if Ling Xiao could win in the end, he would most likely be seriously injured.

In this environment, the risk of being seriously injured or even dying increases dramatically!
Fortunately, in the end, he won.

It's a matter of life and death!
The Shadow Tiger's mechanism is very abnormal. Without extremely high perception and agility, it is impossible to cope with [Shadow Stealth].

He will be killed instantly at close range!
Even if the attributes can barely keep up, without the burst damage of various violent skills, no one else can achieve such a "easy" kill.

And Ling Xiao knew it clearly.

Now that the talismans and other props have been used up, even if I play again, I won’t be able to replicate the extreme performance of dancing on the tip of a knife just now.

"Don't fight a battle you're not prepared for. It really makes sense! Next time, you have to bring your stuff with you. Lack of firepower is really annoying..."

Fortunately, the most difficult thing is over.

Harvest time has arrived!

[Congratulations on successfully killing the 'Strange Species - Shadow Soul Hunting Tiger (Leader)'! ]

【Experience has reached the upgrade requirement! 】

[Level increased to lv6! Free attribute point +1!]

[Talent plundering... Current success rate 88.9%...]

[Plunder successful! Talent - [Shadow Stealth (Normal)] equipped! ]

[[Gluttonous Heart] absorbs trace nutrients, slightly improving quality!]

The first is experience rewards.

A level 6 boss monster not only allowed Ling Xiao to be promoted to level 6 easily, but also directly reached the level of 39%!
Secondly, the talent [Shadow Stealth] is also quite good.

It can also be combined with the talent with a very similar name, [Night Shadow Stealth].

Just merge it and free up a slot!
The former is purely natural, while the latter is man-made.

Lingxiao is looking forward to what kind of wonderful things they can "give birth" to.

[[Night Shadow Stealth] and [Shadow Stealth] have been successfully merged! [Night Shadow (Normal)] is ready!]

[Night Stealth: Enter Stealth mode when operating in darkness or at night. While in Stealth mode, all attributes are significantly enhanced; increased perception is required for visibility. Upon making obvious movements such as active attacks, the player automatically disengages. Extremely strong vision in dark environments.]

Brief summary.

……

Not looking at the status bar, pretty good!
Just as he was about to search for a treasure chest, a round object caught his attention at the place where the Shadow Tiger had been lying before.

"No way...monster egg?"

"You're a viviparous animal, and you reproduce by hatching eggs?!"
