Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 57: Spending the long night and getting back on track
The night is long, and my only companion is the sword.

He shook his wrist to shake off the dirty blood remaining on the blade.

Ling Xiao exhaled a breath of foul air, and the endless power like the tide was surging and reverberating in his body. While slowly recovering, he could still feel the subtle growth.

After the physical condition has passed the first threshold, the changes in the physical body that were previously imperceptible can now be seen.

The attribute data on the panel does not change.

But Ling Xiao feels that his [physical fitness] is making steady progress in the current intense and exciting high-intensity exercise!
Qi Heng, who was standing next to him, pushed open the cork with his thumb and poured a small amount of the unknown solution in the flask into his mouth.

“Tsk… huh…”

His face flushed, but it quickly faded.

He casually handed it to Ling Xiao and said teasingly with a sly smile, "Here! This is some serious good stuff. Drinking it will speed up your recovery and last for three hours!"

Just took it.

Although he knew that this guy had bad intentions, Ling Xiao didn't care.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter what Qi Heng saw him eating, he would stare at it eagerly. If he was given something, he would eat it. If not, he would snatch it away from him.

Of course, the same goes for Ling Xiao.

It’s just that the part of playing the victim is omitted, and people usually just go straight to “take it”.

Now that he's actually sharing it with me, even though it's unlikely to be harmful, the taste is probably...

"Hiss..."

Ling Xiao drank the whole wine in one gulp, and felt a line of fire burning up along the path where the wine had flowed!
What is this thing mixed with?!

It's so strong, even industrial alcohol is smoother and more flavorful than it! ?

The smell of alcohol was rising and his face was also red.

Fortunately, he returned to normal in less than a second as the ten points of physical strength were dissipated, and the rapid recovery effect began to take effect.

Qi Heng, who wanted to see the fun of it, was slightly stunned when he saw Ling Xiao break free from the "control" instantly. He didn't say anything, but there was some amusement and joy in his eyes.

It seems that Brother Xiao has encountered no fewer adventures than I have...

I hope he doesn't get entangled by these damn seals...

The camp gate was covered with the blood of various monsters.

The torch could not completely dispel the fog, so Ling Xiao was able to observe the changing trend of the blood turning black.

The Eye of Identification is thrown at a fixed frequency, and the results obtained are constantly changing.

The blood of different kinds of monsters finally turned into a unified [filthy blood]!
Ling Xiao had only seen this thing once.

On that filthy creature called the Fallen Zombie...

Ling Xiao reached out to stop Qi Heng who wanted to go forward to collect, and continued to observe.

The changes are not over yet!

The two of them saw it clearly.

The inky black filthy blood and the gray fog "stuck" together, the former gradually faded, and the latter turned slightly black.

After a while, the blood on the ground disappeared, and the gray fog showed no signs of turning black, and it surged back to normal.

"Is this mist formed by the evaporation of foul blood? Or are these monsters actually born from the gray fog?"

Faced with Qi Heng's soft question, Ling Xiao didn't know how to answer.

"I'm afraid... only God knows..."

The more you understand, the heavier the foggy cover-up and powerlessness become.

Qi Heng's conjecture was actually Ling Xiao's reasoning, but if it was really as the two top explorers speculated...

This world is too hopeless...

"Forget it!"

Qi Heng stabbed his iron spear into the ground in frustration and said with a sullen smile, "Even if this fog is the biggest monster, the source of all weirdness, don't we still have the system to back us up?"

"I don't believe that at level ninety-nine, this thing can still do anything!? It can be easily controlled!"

Ling Xiao nodded perfunctorily and responded.

"Ah, yes, yes!"

In fact, both of them knew it in their hearts.

Level ninety-nine?

That is not an ideal, but a dream!

Although we must always have dreams, we should first survive...

"Brother Xiao! Brother Dao!"

Pan Hong shouted in surprise from behind, "I made it!"

"Finally got this guy a contract!"

"Oh?"

Ling Xiao walked up to the Black Needle Pig that had stood up again, and was very curious about the effect of the beast-taming talent.

Seeing that the second in command was interested, Pan Hong immediately showed his talent.

"Come on! Blackie! Sit down!"

The black needle pig named Xiao Heizi tilted its head and looked to the side.

Only the short pig tail swung impatiently, causing Pan Hong's trouser legs to swing.

There was awkwardness in the air. Park Shi, who was standing next to them, wanted to watch but was afraid of not being able to hold back his laughter, and it was very painful.

He and Pan Hong were roommates for two years.

Every day I hear the latter lying on the bed and bragging about his feat of training thousands of dogs a day at home.

When signing the contract just now, Pan Hong was sweating profusely, but he was still full of confidence.

He claimed that he would start from this dead pig and step by step become the king of beasts!

Who would have thought that this ordinary black pig would directly smash the reputation of Pan Hong's three generations of dog breeding into pig manure.

Ruined reputation...

Pan Hong, who was feeling ashamed, also risked his life and said with a smug smile, "Brother Xiao, this... this bastard told me he wanted to eat pork. I have to follow his wishes and serve him well, only then can I be moved..."

"You... ah!"

Ling Xiao didn't hold back and teased, "It really was it that tamed you! From now on, don't let it sleep in the tent. You sleep outside and keep watch."

"Here! This should be enough for a while, right? Let me tell you in advance, you need to become combat-ready as soon as possible. If you keep wasting resources, I'll have to stop allocating them to you."

Pan Hong looked at the pile of pork sent by the vice president, and tears filled his eyes.

"Alright! If you don't take care of it within a day, I'll just kill it and divide its meat!"

After that, he started feeding training directly.

As soon as the black needle pig saw the food, it immediately stopped being reserved and began to follow Pan Hong's guidance to deepen its connection.

It was already past midnight, and the firelight cast very long shadows on Ling Xiao and the others.

The attacking monsters have been defeated, but the guild members continue to hold on.

Without the protection of the embers of the gods, the relaxing rest is so missed...

It has been a long time since there have been any monster attacks, and even the sneak attacks in the dark have disappeared.

After Ye Zhanqing arrived at the camp gate and had a brief discussion with the two of them, he was ready to let everyone rest.

At the beginning, we had no experience, but now, for safety reasons, we throw torches directly and continuously outwards and far away.

It’s certainly not clear, but it’s enough to help the night watchmen give a better warning.

His gaze passed strangely over Pan Hong and his pig, and finally settled on Qi Heng. He asked the two of them, "You must be tired after guarding for so long, right? Who of you is going to rest?"

Although the question included himself, Ling Xiao saw through the other party's hidden thoughts.

Elbowing Qi Heng, he smiled and replied, "Let Brother Dao go! At least I took a nap, but he never rested."

Ye Zhanqing nodded directly, and decided the matter without even considering Qi Heng's opinion. "President."

She spoke with a slightly heavy tone, "Just sleep peacefully! By the way, you can only judge a person by their appearance. If you dare to have any obscene thoughts about Jinxi and Lulu..."

The Guan Dao landed on the ground with a gentle thud. Ye Zhanqing threatened with a fierce look on her pretty face, "Even if it means both of us will be injured, I will still perform a minimally invasive surgery on you!"

Hearing this, not only Qi Heng.

Ling Xiao who was standing next to him, as well as Pan Hong and Pu Shi who were watching the fun from behind, all felt their legs tighten, and the air in their trouser legs felt inexplicably "cool".

With ten tents, it is inevitable that there will be mixed sleeping arrangements.

Ye Zhanqing's three daughters and Ling Xiao finally lived together in name only.

Because this arrangement is the most reasonable. If nothing unexpected happens, excluding the night watchman, there will always be two empty bunks out of five.

As long as you don't have the intention or courage to do anything evil, any amount of sleep will be enough.

It is also much more spacious than other tents.

After the emergency assembly, Ye Zhanqing secretly asked her best friend if Xiao had any unusual behavior.

After all, the two parties were only "alumni" in relationship, they had known each other for less than a day, and had met even less than a day earlier.

Su Jinxi and Lin Lu are not only beautiful in their own ways, but also have really good figures. She often checks them out.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao passed the test smoothly with his "gentlemanly" style. (A few hundred words of the story are omitted)

"You have to stand guard for me! What I hate most is gathering in the middle of the night, damn it! I thought I could sleep well every day at university, but who knew I would be sent to this damn place..."

Qi Heng walked away cursing.

Pan Hong also used his talent to put away the little black guy, and went back to sleep with Park Shi.

Apart from the combatants who continued to patrol in shifts at the fence, only Ling Xiao and Ye Zhanqing were left at the camp gate.

Sitting on the stones, the two briefly summarized what happened during the attack in the middle of the night.

Then they began to discuss the guild's affairs, big and small.

"Don't count on that guy to use his brain anymore, let's plan for the future!"

Ling Xiao nodded in agreement with Ye Zhanqing's suggestion, then took out a pen and paper and wrote down the first item.

"rule?"

"Yes, that's the rule."

Taking a sip of his drink to moisten his throat, Ling Xiao continued, "Don't think I'm so eager to go through the motions and become a bureaucrat just for the sake of a tiny bit of power."

"Any organization that doesn't have clear boundaries and relies solely on individual initiative will eventually be doomed!"

"The guild system now has contribution statistics. Killing monsters and gathering resources can all be automatically recorded, so rewards and punishments are naturally fair and just. Of course, sometimes special cases need special treatment, like what I just did to Pan Hong..."

The two talked for a long time.

The number of lines and blocks on the paper gradually increased as the paper was deleted and revised.

The watch reached seven fifty, Ling Xiao put away his pen and paper, and the gray fog had begun to thin.

"Wake up everyone! The morning is the most important part of the day. You won't be able to stay in bed here."

Ye Zhanqing nodded and left.

After several hours of in-depth communication, she realized that [Xiao] not only had outstanding combat power and terrifying talent, but his character and thinking surpassed most people.

including herself.

This "attribute" that cannot be expressed in concrete terms on the panel is extremely important in Ye Zhanqing's eyes.

I can only say that it is very useful.

But this top-level "expert" who can both fight and think made her see the hope of survival.

After convincing Ye Zhanqing with words, Ling Xiao has now become the "boss" of the entire guild.

That's exactly what he wanted.

Nominally the second in command, or even the third in command, he actually leads the direction of the guild!

After reading the "first draft", Qi Heng waved his hand and had no opinion.

joke?

How can my brother harm me?!

As the sunlight shines, the gray fog melts like ice and snow.

The world is "clear" again, the monsters have disappeared, and it is a good time for the survivors to explore and develop.

Fifty people, divided into two groups.

Resources need to be collected, but monsters also need to be fought!
Form a team with reliable teammates.

Some caves with higher overall levels, greater dangers but richer rewards have been listed as targets by ambitious people!
The ones who fight are elite!

A boss who is not too high in level, that’s even better!

The hunting team is led by two presidents, and the rest are elite members of the guild who dare to fight and are able to fight; the pioneering team is led by the remaining president, who takes the rest of the people to collect resources.

Pan Hong and several others were left behind in the camp. Among them were talented craftsmen and alchemists, who were responsible for receiving and processing the resources sent back from the front.

Channel transactions make the transfer of items less time-consuming and labor-intensive, greatly facilitating explorers.

Ling Xiao also kept the smelting furnace. It belonged to him, but it could be used by the [craftsman].

The iron spear blueprints could not be transferred, but with the financial offensive, several casting blueprints on the market had been acquired.

Investing is nothing more than money making money. Only if you are willing to pay are you qualified to receive returns.

Moreover, even if the smelting furnace was destroyed by the crazy little black guy, he could still repair it. Even if it was completely destroyed, his current savings would be enough for his expenses.

As a man, you should not cherish your body when doing great things, nor should you be stingy for a little benefit.

Instead of wasting time on petty things, it would be more fun to go down to the cave with your brothers and fight the BOSS!

"Park Seok! Start taunting!"

Pu Shi, who had iron iron shields on both arms, had a huge change in mentality. At this moment, he faced the challenge and showed some heroism!
Looking at the huge worm with thorns all over its body and no facial features, only layers of sharp teeth.

He yelled with full force, "Look at how ugly you are! Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror?"

"Oh! You don't even have that organ! If I were you, I would have suffocated to death in the ground long ago! How dare you come out and disgust others!?"

“You… what the hell!?”

The bloody mouth was wide open enough to swallow a car, and Park Shi, who was shrouded in shadow, was instantly stuck.

Under Ling Xiao's command, the hunting team has inflicted countless wounds on this level 9 worm.

But all of these could only arouse the monster's ferocity and could not lead to fatal injuries.

After weakening his condition, the final finishing move still has to be done by Qi Heng who is preparing for his ultimate move!
The invisibility potion on his body could no longer cover up the increasingly violent thunder and lightning.

Seeing Ling Xiao pulling Pu Shi away and then taking on the task of seduction himself, Qi Heng was in danger under the surging attacks of the worms, and a hint of blood appeared in his eyes.

boom!boom!boom! ...

The violent beating of his heart seemed to activate all the blood in his body. A trace of strength escaped like a dragon entering the sea and merged into his body.

Park Shi retreated to a safe area with the other elite members of the hunting team.

His gaze switched back and forth between the two guild leaders and the BOSS monster with excitement, anxiety, and trepidation.

"Brother Xiao seems to be unable to hold on any longer!"

"No problem! I think Brother Dao is almost there!"

"Can you kill that monster in one second? It's only level 9!"

"It's hard to say! But that's Brother Dao after all, and there's also Brother Xiao! Who knows if they have a backup plan..."

……

Ling Xiao, who seemed to be in a dangerous situation but was actually at ease, suddenly felt a murderous intent like a needle pricking his spine!
"grass!"

"Step aside!!"

　Everyone, I'm so sorry! I went to the shower right after posting it, and when I came back, I found out it didn't pass the review! I deleted a few hundred words immediately. I'm so sorry!
