Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 70: The first kill in the entire region! A historical dividing line!
What is the biggest difference between humans and animals?
Making fire; communicating; using tools; subjective initiative…

There are many answers, and Ling Xiao doesn't want to argue about which one is the most correct.

He only understood one thing: people would use "means" and would do whatever it took!
For example, this LV10 Black Needle Pig King would be defeated in a one-on-one fight, and would probably suffer heavy casualties in a group fight.

But with preparation time, things change from "fighting" to "fighting appointment"!
"One last check of the distributed items! Remember the order in which they should be used! If you forget to bring anything, quit immediately. Don't try to be brave!"

At the edge of the forest where only tree stumps remained, Ling Xiao glanced at the four people following closely behind him, and his voice was serious.

"Is everything okay?"

After receiving unanimous nods of confirmation, he gave a final word of encouragement: "Is everyone clear about their tasks?"

"Everyone, go up and operate in order. Once you're done, step back. Don't take more than ten seconds! I'll go first, then Lin Lu. Everyone else follows behind. Be careful! Don't worry, Brother Dao and the main team members are lying in ambush nearby!"

"Brother Dao and I gave it a try, it's no big deal! Besides, even if our contribution is less than 1%, it will definitely keep everyone well-fed and satisfied!"

"Isn't it just a level 10 monster? Kill it!"

Qi Heng, who was watching Ling Xiao's morale-boosting speech and applying the ointment on his body, was amazed.

This guy, he’s so eloquent after not seeing him for a few days!

It's such a rare talent!
It would be a shame if we didn't say "Ulla" a few more times.

Ling Xiao led the way, and the group of five people bent down slightly, wrapped in raincoats and walked through the increasingly dense woods.

What is surprising is that at this moment their figures have disappeared into a few blurry groups, which are extremely hidden in the boring environment.

Only when you take action can you stand out more clearly against the background.

Brother Xiao in front clenched his fist and raised it, and the people behind him couldn't help but feel nervous.

But it soon stopped as ordered.

No idiot made any mistake.

After the previous battle with the Black Needle Pig King, [Monster Hunter] has successfully "recorded" the information of the prey.

At this time, Ling Xiao sneaked closer and caught a subtle trace, then triggered [Searching for Trace] from a considerable distance.

[Hunting Frenzy] begins!
All his attributes were improved, making him more aware of his surroundings.

The panel is indeed a great thing that cannot be explained by science. It can provide so much help to explorers!
In the five-member team's group chat, Ling Xiao briefly analyzed the intelligence and issued fine-tuned orders to everyone.

All these operations are silent and leave no trace.

Five blurry shadows crouched still, huddled there and blended into the dim and monotonous surroundings.

Not to mention the pig, even if someone else came, it would take them half a day to notice anything wrong.

The team set off again.

Originally he just bent over, but now he just crouched forward.

Soon, under Ling Xiao's accurate guidance, the five people hid in the bushes closest to the Black Needle Pig King.

Through the grass leaves, one can clearly see the target of this attack, whose sturdy body is as big as a car.

The second time he saw her, Ling Xiao couldn't help but think of a certain doggerel: "A fat pig is like an elephant, but its nose is short..."

But now the second half should be changed to: "Everyone will kill one, and the experience will be fully upgraded!"

Of course, it's too exaggerated.

No matter how fat a LV10 monster is, you cannot violate the rules to extract oil, and no matter how much experience it drops, it will definitely not be enough.

But what he said to encourage everyone was not wrong.

They could get some scraps from the LV10 contribution table, and these members, whose average level was only LV3, could at least directly advance one level, and even two levels in a row was not impossible...

In the center of the clearing was a quagmire with a low water content.

The whole family of black needle pigs were happily rolling around in the mud.

Except for the black needle pig king lying on its side on the ground next to it.

Now the monster was swallowing food in big gulps while feeding the newly born piglets.

There are also two special pigs "serving" it, helping it push the mountain of various foods into its wide-open mouth.

This thing is only responsible for chewing and swallowing, and it doesn't even bother to stretch its neck to eat.

"This hottie! He really knows how to enjoy himself!"

Make a few comments in the group chat to ease everyone's tension.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

Ling Xiao didn't hesitate and took the opportunity to change the order temporarily, calling a girl with "catfish whisker" bangs to the front.

"Your potion is more effective if you take it directly! Now's a good time to add some ingredients to it!"

Pursing her lips, the girl nodded seriously without refusing.

She took out a bottle of light pink potion from her backpack, uncorked it, and blew out a long breeze with her lips.

A girl with elemental wind talent is naturally the best choice for remote drugging.

The highly volatile potion had no chance to spread at all. After escaping from the bottle, it rushed forward in the gentle air flow.

Soon, the bottle was empty.

The Black Needle Pig King's eating movements remained unchanged, and even the other pig monsters were not affected.

Ling Xiao saw it all and remained very calm.

After all, he is level 10, can he be knocked out by a bottle of magic?
How can it be!

Enjoy it slowly, there are many more secret ingredients specially prepared with the help of everyone’s brainstorming!
The change in plan did not cause anyone to lose their composure.

Soon, several bottles of potion were delivered, and the effects gradually became obvious due to the cumulative effect.

At some point, the black pigs in the mud had fainted.

The two stronger ones responsible for feeding were also not immune to the compound potion and were now completely paralyzed and on strike.

Only the pig king, who had inhaled the most but had the strongest physique, was still moving his mouth and repeatedly gnawing on the already broken food.

Sister Yaoshui completed her mission successfully, and the other three also took action together at Ling Xiao's signal.

Once the potion takes effect, there is no need to proceed step by step.

Equipment, spells, talents, one-time scrolls...

All goodies prepared for the Pig King!
After Ling Xiao placed the first scroll, he waved his hand, signaling the other four to evacuate first.

Snoring sounds were heard, and the goal of paralyzing the Pig King's soul had been achieved.

The real killer move has to be used by yourself up close!
At the same time, Qi Heng, who received a private message from Ling Xiao, suddenly stood up and called on others to follow.

These main forces lying in ambush further away will only take action after the anesthesia team succeeds.

There is no other way. The number of props for concealing the breath is limited, and there are not many of high quality ones, so they can only be given to key personnel for use.

Fortunately, it seems that Brother Xiao is fine!

Iron spears appeared in his hands, and he drank the strength potion mass-produced by the guild.

Money is not meant to be saved.

One more layer of protection means one more level of security.

When Qi Heng led his men to the surrounding area one after another, Ling Xiao nodded implicitly, then walked out of the bushes and lightly touched the huge body of the Black Needle Pig King that was rising and falling.

Facing the LV10 leader king monster at close range, the majesty and pressure of that life level surged like a tide.

But Ling Xiao's movements were not affected at all. He took out a green excellent-grade magic scroll and directly injected spiritual power into it to light up the runes on it!

【Delayed Painful Whip】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Conditions: Spirit level reaches 8; Consumes 100 spiritual power at once; Consumable (disappears after one use)]

[Special Effects: 1. Whipping Pain (Based on the target's spiritual attributes, immediately causes tearing damage to their soul); 2. Void Punishment (After hitting the target, a soul phantom is torn out at the same location. Damage caused to the target will have a portion of the damage reflected back to the main body. The phantom's existence time is affected by the target's attributes) 3. Penalty Tracing (When the phantom disappears, 50% of the damage received during the period will be restored)]

[Comment: Feel the pain that strikes your soul! No one can empathize with you, unless it's your own shadow!]

This thing was bought with guild funds from a guild leader who was in a hurry to build a base.

It has a similar origin to [Wind and Fire Madness]. Others cannot use it in a short period of time, so they take it out to exchange for benefits.

After the magic scroll took effect, it directly penetrated into the pig king's broad back.

Ling Xiao didn't even have time to pull his hand away when he heard a scream like a pig being slaughtered in front of him!
Damn it! ?
Firecrackers don’t explode as soon as the fuse is lit!
The huge pig body instinctively began to struggle after its soul suffered a severe blow, and the ground suddenly shook.

Under Ling Xiao's horrified gaze, the thorn-like mane on the pig king's back stood up, and it was obvious what he wanted to do!

Hey!
Don't be careless, dodge quickly!
The raincoat left a shadow, and Ling Xiao hid directly in the direction of the pig's head!

shhhhh--

A dense "rain of arrows" shot out.

Ling Xiao stood firm without any hesitation and just summoned his broadsword when he discovered that the Black Needle Pig King, who had been lying on his side, had climbed up vigorously!
And the look of pain and hatred was aimed directly at himself!

"Roar!"

One man and one beast, on the verge of war!
Nourishes—

The iron spear wrapped in lightning could only penetrate the swamp armor, but could not penetrate the pig king's body.

And judging from the remaining length, it only went in a little bit.

But at least he was injured.

Bright red blood flowed down the gun.

Ling Xiao was unable to fight back and could only run away, performing all kinds of incredible acrobatic moves along the way, barely avoiding one extremely dangerous collision after another.

The others were all anxious, but they were powerless to do anything.

Even an attack as strong as Qi Heng could not defeat them in one blow, and they did not dare to attack at will. They could only hold up their iron spears and anxiously wait for the opportunity.

Fortunately, Ye Zhanqing took over the command in time and activated the emergency plan.

"Everyone listen!"

"Those who can harm the soul, attack the boss's shadow! Don't worry about losses, just throw everything you have at me!"

After saying that, she looked at Qi Heng, but received a look in return.

"You stay! I'll go help Brother Xiao!"

it is more than words.

Qi Heng picked up the iron spear again, took off his raincoat and ran wildly.

The whole body is surrounded by surging electric snakes, and the thunder pool is opened at maximum power!
It was not as embarrassing and critical as they had imagined.

Ling Xiao has actually always been at ease.

Apart from using a quick dodge at the beginning to avoid the wave of back spines, he did not even use any skills in his subsequent impromptu dodges.

With such a huge monster chasing him, he was indeed a little panicked at first!

It was only after a long period of nervousness that I realized that after my agility improved, I could have a good time with this reckless pig king!
Now Ling Xiao was even intentionally taking the BOSS in circles, running around, staying away from the torn soul shadow.

His teammates did not let his efforts go to waste.

Many attacks shot out from the woods, directly submerging the blood-red shadow.

"Ow!"

The Black Needle Pig King suffered heavy blows repeatedly and wanted to chase with staggering steps, but his remaining rationality told him that those damn guys in the woods were the real enemies who could kill him!

Ling Xiao, who was walking the pig, noticed the rumbling footsteps of the pursuer behind him getting farther away, and immediately understood what this guy was trying to do. Did he react at this time?

Want to escape!?

The offensive and defensive momentum is different!

With a sudden stop, he turned around and rushed towards the Black Needle Pig King who had already turned his head!
Pigs have a wider field of vision, so such obvious changes naturally cannot escape their eyes.

Seeing this annoying little bug actually dare to approach me?

The Black Needle Pig King didn't even turn his head. He howled loudly and breathed heavily before launching a fearless charge!

The two rushed towards each other and approached each other quickly, causing the onlookers to exclaim in surprise.

The timid girls like Lin Lu even covered their eyes directly, but still left a gap between their fingers to peek at the horrific "accident".

But the next moment, they, like everyone else, suddenly widened their eyes.

The powerful collision did indeed hit.

It was just Brother Xiao's afterimage that was scraped. At least in terms of visual effects, it was clearly a real collision but there was no scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Damn it! ?
You can still play like this! ?

But since it was done by Brother Xiao, it makes sense...

Unable to hear the ups and downs of others' hearts, Ling Xiao had no time to feel sorry for his bad luck this time.

Quick dodge failed to reset the cooldown, no matter, now it’s your turn to attack!
In the brief opportunity of passing by, the wind and fire combo poured out without any preparation.

It landed hard on the side of the Pig King!

From front to back, a bloody crack was scraped out!

It's not deep, but there's blood.

The gorgeous crimson flames burned into a dreamy light pink, flowing and spreading among the densely packed wounds.

There are three effects superimposed on the broadsword!

Now it is the burning blood blade that is powerful enough to burn the soul!
While Ling Xiao was fighting back, Qi Heng, who came to support him, was stopped by a group of monsters.

It’s not his fault that he was slow to act. It was because the howl of the Black Needle Pig King just now was a forced command from his blood.

These monsters are now rushing forward fearlessly, not caring about casualties or pain at all, and only want to overwhelm targets that are harmful to the leader.

Thunder and lightning were dancing wildly, Qi Heng was really furious and anxious!
However, there are quite a lot of low-level black needle pigs, and the key is that these piglets are covered in mud, so it is impossible to kill them all in one blow!
Fortunately, the monsters were outnumbered, and Ye Zhanqing, the temporary commander, was not a fool.

He immediately ordered the firepower to cover the pile of monsters, to relieve the pressure on Qi Heng, while continuing to guide capable members to attack the phantom.

After handing over the command to the next person, she rushed out with a knife and the elite guild members who had seen blood!

Both sides came out in full force, using all means and putting all their money at stake.

Now it all depends on who can wear out the other's last breath.

It’s time to put my fighting power to use!
Qingyun Liuying slashed out large sections of clear energy, and most of the black needle pigs besieging Qi Heng were killed or injured.

Under the rapid consumption, Ye Zhanqing's face turned slightly pale as he shouted at Qi Heng: "Let's go help Brother Xiao! They're holding on here!"

The latter didn't waste any words and casually threw out his almost broken iron spear, nailing a mad monster to death. He pulled out another one and rushed towards a place not far away!
It's chaos, it's all chaos.

The original plan did not allow ordinary members to come, because their influence on the LV10 BOSS was very limited. If something went wrong, casualties were very likely.

But now Qi Heng didn't care about so many things, and even felt a little fortunate.

I'm glad that my and Brother Xiao's efforts have earned us a group of pretty good teammates.

So……

"Fuck you...give me some more strength!"

A silent roar came from my heart.

His heart beat a little faster, and a few strands of strange blood flowed into his circulation, making Qi Heng's movements even faster!

Bang!
It seemed like a lot happened, but in reality it took less than three minutes.

After about two and a half minutes, the shadow exploded.

Su Jinxi gritted her teeth and tried her best to aim at the fleeting shadow, but failed to shoot the last arrow.

Without even taking a breath, she hurriedly ordered, "Pause the attack! Drink the medicine to recover!"

I'm anxious, but there's no point in being anxious.

Including myself, the people responsible for the soul attack have basically tried their best.

But she has to be prepared for unexpected events. For example, if the monster is not dead, she will have to squeeze out a few more attacks to completely put an end to it!
Everyone is working hard for the same goal!
As the spellcaster, Ling Xiao noticed it the moment the phantom ended and began to return.

But he also discovered that the energy and blood of this LV10 giant monster increased instead of decreased, making it even more terrifying!
Must be killed immediately!

The machete was inserted into the neck, and blood spurted out like a stream.

Instead of dodging immediately, Ling Xiao finally infused a wave of energy before starting a rapid dodge!
The price he paid was that he was finally injured, with the Black Needle Pig King's fangs scraping off a piece of flesh on his chest.

Ling Xiao groaned, his movements a little twisted, but his eyes were full of pleasure.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and it exploded quietly.

Peng! ! !
The broadsword and the large piece of flesh on the neck suddenly exploded, and all the accumulated energy moved to this place. The power that erupted at this time was the strongest wind and fire explosion so far!
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and half of the neck was blown into pieces.

But the black needle pig king was still alive. Its tenacious vitality made it tremble with its cervical vertebrae directly exposed to the air, but it always stood firmly.

He could even move with difficulty, casting violent hatred towards Ling Xiao.

A flash of blood passed by, and the shadow returned with a lot of damage.

The damage to the soul finally made the Pig King stiff.

Another ray of light and shadow came at lightning speed, accompanied by a surge of clear air. The huge and broken body was completely submerged in the extremely violent lightning and clear air.

hiss--

When he tore off the shirt that was standing against his flesh and blood, Ling Xiao gasped in pain.

A quick look revealed that the blood was flowing non-stop.

But since there were no bones exposed or internal organs leaking out, Ling Xiao ignored it for the time being.

Pull out the machete, a familiar old friend.

He rushed into the smoke and saw a charred iron spear piercing a pig's head and his old friend sitting on the ground gasping for breath.

Ye Zhanqing was not in a much better situation either. Her Guandao chopped into the Black Needle Pig King's abdomen. She was staggering and "sawing", trying to destroy the BOSS's last chance of life.

Seeing Ling Xiao arrive, she could no longer hold on, and she felt relieved and fell down next to Qi Heng, squeezing him so hard that he grimaced.

"Fuck... finish him off! I have a feeling this guy isn't dead yet!"

Ling Xiao grinned and gave Lao Qi a weird thumbs-up and middle finger gesture.

At the same time, he raised his knife and chopped off the still trembling huge pig head.

The smoke and dust dissipated and golden light emerged.

For the first time, a system announcement appeared in the channel:
Congratulations to [Qingshanzhiguang] for becoming the first guild in the entire region to defeat a limited-time boss!

[Congratulations to [Xiao] for becoming the first explorer in the entire region to kill a LV10 King-level boss! ]

"What the hell!? Brother Xiao is awesome!"

"See? We're number one, number one in the entire district!"

"Is this thing limited to the entire region? It's booming, it's really booming this time!"

"There's nothing much to say. Brother Xiao is awesome! Brother Dao is awesome! Sister Qing is awesome too..."

……

Everyone who gathered around received the news. It was rare for them to be so happy since they had traveled through time.

Slightly stunned, Ling Xiao pulled the corner of his mouth.

The tip of the knife lightly touches and decomposes the body.

In an instant, the huge body of the LV10 Black Needle Pig King turned into scattered light spots and divided into trickles that flowed towards everyone.

The cheers grew louder.

And in the sight that no one could see, a faint blue light flew out and sank into Ling Xiao's forehead.

[Talent plundering... Current success rate 68.4%...]

I’m pretty lucky!

Although it's not what I want most, it's not bad to have a limited edition...

[Plunder failed! Talent - [Gluttony (Limited)] has dissipated! ]

what! ?

How could this even fail!?

[Talent plundering... Current success rate 65.7%...]

oh oh!

This one is also okay!

This is also a...

[Plunder failed! Talent - [Steel Bones (Limited)] has collapsed! ]

what? !

Damn it? !
System, are you kidding me?!

[Talent plundering... Current success rate 61.3%...]

[Plundered successfully! Talent - [King's Bloodline (Limited)] has been equipped!]

[The gluttonous heart has absorbed sufficient nutrients and is now beginning to sublime! ]

"I'm sorry, I take that back."

Ups and downs follow one after another, and finally it ends with the most wonderful result.

And there was an unexpected surprise.

Even with Ling Xiao's intelligence, he felt a little weak at the moment.

Looking down, I realized there was too much blood flowing.

Without caring about his image at all, he collapsed.

Someone next to him exclaimed in a low voice, and something soft came up and supported him, helping him sit down slowly.

Without thinking too much, Ling Xiao glanced at the backpack filled with rare harvests.

In more than 20 years, I have never felt so happy and satisfied as I do today.

My gaze drifted upwards, and these past few suns didn't seem so repulsive anymore...

When I look back on my own survival journey in the future, it may be divided into two halves starting from today...
