Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 64: Dead People, "Eating People"

Reducing his speed, Ling Xiao led the hunting team to the grove where the accident happened.

Three injured members were leaning against a huge rock about twenty or thirty meters away from the edge of the forest.

There were dark red bloodstains on the ground, and people were busy treating their injuries.

Ye Zhanqing and Qi Heng were kneeling on one knee next to a dying member.

Bent down and listen to something.

The former looked sad, while the latter had a frown on his face.

The two broken parts of the body were simply put back together, and the internal organs were hastily collected and stuffed back in.

The huge, hideous gap that was still bleeding was enough to illustrate the severity of the situation.

Moreover, judging from the slightly collapsed and shriveled abdominal cavity, the organs inside have been reduced to a considerable extent...

Bloody, miserable, absurd...

Although I have become accustomed to the corpses of monsters, these are human beings, living classmates and friends!
Everyone's eyes were red.

Several girls turned their heads away and suppressed their tears, not daring to disturb his last words.

Ling Xiao didn't dare to get close, but his perception faithfully sent the regretful whisper back to his ears.

“It hurts so much…it hurts so much…”

"Brother Dao, Qing... Sister Qing, I don't feel well... Am I going to die..."

"Can you please save me... I don't want to die... My parents are waiting for me to come home! My sister is only eight years old, how could she..."

"Cough...I...cough cough!"

He vomited out mouthfuls of blood foam.

The tremors were slowly weakening.

Even though he has lost so many organs, the fact that he can still speak so much is the only remaining function after the attribute enhancement.

Ye Zhanqing and Qi Heng each held his hands tightly, both wanting to say something, but their cheeks were puffy and they could hardly speak.

In the end, only the calm and arrogant Ye Zhanqing could squeeze out two or three pale and powerless words of comfort from between his teeth.

Qi Heng, who is always talkative, became the most silent one.

Besides the two of them, there was a tall young man kneeling beside them, doing his last futile effort.

Tears streamed down his face, and discarded or useless medicine items were scattered on the ground. Between his fingers, besides the soft white light of his healing talent, there was also a stream of scarlet blood that could not be covered up.

He and the victim were classmates, and his awakened talent was related to healing.

But faced with such a serious injury, it was normal to be unable to recover...

Can……

How could he accept this!?

Human will, in its strength, reveals powerlessness.

If everything could be achieved as desired, how could one's will be described as "strong"?

The dead are gone, and the living feel the most "intimate" despair and powerlessness since they traveled through time.

In the Light of Aoyama, the first member who died appeared.

Qi Heng's palm trembled slightly as he gently stroked the dead man's eyes, which were still filled with panic and helplessness.

Ling Xiao watched silently.

Looking at those eyes that were once passionate and full of hope, now closed forever in a lifeless grayness.

He has a pretty good memory.

He recognized and remembered all the guild members.

This guy is called Zhao Wei. He is a nice guy, or rather has a good personality. He can make everyone laugh even in this kind of weird place.

He is hardworking and talented, making him a very powerful combatant.

At that time, Ling Xiao only knew the name of Zhao Wei's talent.

But now, I can see the results with my own eyes...

This was the first companion and the first explorer to die before him.

A visitor from another world like him.

And the gluttonous heart was no exception, its appetite was whetted...

Ling Xiao instinctively didn't want to get close, but he had a guess in his mind and was determined to prove it himself.

[Talent plundering... Current success rate 91.9%...]

[Plunder successful! Talent - [Scorching Sun Explosion (Poor Quality)] is ready!]

[[Gluttonous Heart] absorbs trace nutrients, slightly improving its quality!] The people around them could no longer suppress their cries.

Ling Xiao froze in place, only catching a glimpse of Zhao Wei's pale face through the gaps in the crowd, and then he cursed softly.

"Grass……"

I don't know if he was cursing that monster, or someone else...

After clumsily cleaning up the body, Zhao Wei lay quietly in the campfire.

Fallen leaves return to their roots.

But it is definitely not possible right now.

Time did not allow them to indulge in grief for too long, so they could only end the young man's life with a relatively simple funeral.

There is nothing much to say, nothing much to say.

Before traveling through time, they were just a group of ordinary college students.

As fire gushed out of Ling Xiao's hands and the corpse was engulfed by the flames, more or less something in the hearts of the onlookers was burned to ashes.

The death of a companion can boost morale, while in the past they only thought anime was ridiculous.

But now, it is unforgettable...

The flames were blazing, making Ling Xiao's face change from light to dark.

Arrogant soldiers will surely be defeated, while pitiful soldiers will surely win. We need to consider the reality.

At least now, the sadness in the heart has given the living a more tenacious and tragic fighting spirit!

Fear, confusion, helplessness...

All of these have become fuel for the common hatred of the enemy!
After loudly encouraging the morale, Qi Heng walked over to Ling Xiao, who was standing silently with his head down, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Let's go, Brother Xiao. Completely destroying those monsters will have to wait until tomorrow, but now, it's time to make some preparations!"

Nodding, Ling Xiao swallowed the bitterness.

Holding a machete, he stood at the front of the cordon with Qi Heng.

It wasn't a single monster that attacked the pioneering team, but a whole group of them.

Ye Zhanqing, the team leader, tried his best, but he could not defeat the demons alone, as the other side had several high-level monsters!

Her performance was impeccable as she was able to bring most people out intact.

But now that someone is dead, Ling Xiao will take over the battle.

The combat goal is also very clear and definite: cut down this forest, find out those monsters and completely wipe them out, leaving no one alive!
Only in this way can we comfort the souls of the dead in heaven.

Except for those who stayed behind in the camp, all other members of Qingshanzhiguang have arrived.

Under Ling Xiao's command, their first priority was not to search for the enemy, but to maintain their physical strength and clear the trees step by step.

In previous attacks, the monsters had revealed their ability to hide and sneak behind trees.

If Ye Zhanqing had not kept Ling Xiao's words in mind and always controlled the team to cut only the outermost layer, he would rather sacrifice efficiency than rush into the forest.

The current casualties are probably difficult to predict...

The role of "commander" should have been played by Qi Heng, the "king of soldiers".

However, after witnessing Ling Xiao's calmness and ability to respond to emergencies, Ye Zhanqing and Qi Heng both unconditionally supported this "wartime commander"!
Now, whenever a combat event occurs, the entire guild must listen to Ling Xiao!

No one questioned that the instructions were carried out efficiently.

As the commander, Ling Xiao stood at the most dangerous dividing line, expanded his perception to the maximum, and [searched for traces] to capture all suspicious signs.

[Scorching Sun Explosion: Adds the [Scorching Sun] effect to attacks. Gain a special skill after upgrading the quality.]

Ling Xiao didn't want to be a cousin and also a saint, so he accepted this thing.

It wasn't because he had no choice, but because the [Heart of Gluttony] was completely out of control. The only choice he had was how to deal with these derived talents that were plundered.

Even though he had been prepared for the thought of "eating people", it still took him a long time to convince himself...

"Damn... what's there to pretend about? This talent is truly amazing. It'll significantly boost my current combat effectiveness!"

"Zhao Wei, I don't believe in oaths. But if I have the chance to help you avenge, those monsters will definitely die under the [Scorching Sun Explosion]..."

The dark eyes seemed to ignite a cluster of flames, and Ling Xiao turned his head to look somewhere.

There's something lurking on the tree...

The cool air flow turned into a scorching breath and blew out.

Ling Xiao kicked the ground, cursing briefly not only to warn others, but also to vent the evil fire in his heart.

"Grass!"
