Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 91: Water flow induction, fire and thunder show power
"First Blo...Double Kill!"

A few seconds after the wind and fire torn the elite species apart, Qi Heng's excited shouts came from not far away.

Of course, Ling Xiao also heard what Yizhe said midway.

Qi Heng seemed to have forgotten about the bet and shamelessly praised: "It has to be you, Brother Xiao!"

"But I'm not bad either! Haha!"

In the past, Ling Xiao would definitely have scolded him.

But now his mind is inevitably affected by the killing, so he was "fooled" by taking advantage of the situation.

A group of blue spirit snakes plus a LV13 elite species finally gathered enough experience.

……

[Level increased to LV12! Free attribute point +1!]

[Talent plundering... Current success rate 93.5%...]

[Plundered successfully! Talent - [Water Control (Normal)] equipped!]

……

[Water Flow Control (Normal): Controls the water flow to a certain extent, and can be achieved within a certain range through the medium of water.]

Ling Xiao himself has experienced the specific effects many times.

There is no way. After being hit by pigs many times, you will always understand the essence of the pigs' rapid advance.

After getting a new toy, Ling Xiao didn't hide it and started playing with it directly.

Naturally, he did not reveal the true effect of [Heart of Gluttony] to anyone.

But when facing Qi Heng, he still let it slip, just borrowing the concept of "copying talent".

Now that there were no outsiders around, Ling Xiao decided to show off a few of his skills.

The originally disorderly flowing accumulated water underwent immediate changes after Ling Xiao activated his talent.

A vortex forms, and then its speed and range increase.

This is testing the current limit of [Water Flow Control].

In the previous battle, the impact of the water flow on him was still vivid in his mind.

At that time, Ling Xiao could only be "passive", but now he is actively experiencing it, which is a completely different feeling.

Not long after, he put away the controls, a look of surprise on his face.

A monster is just a monster. Its brain is probably not even the size of a walnut kernel.

It may seem not very aggressive or strong in control, but in fact, you can play it in many ways!
For example, by "pushing" away the water that is blocking his feet, he can almost minimize the impact as his proficiency increases.

When facing the enemy, you don't have to be stubborn and have to restrain and block them. When the enemy is charging, you can suddenly "push" them sideways or secretly "trip" them.

These small actions can often produce unexpected results!
Even if it fails, the loss will not be great.

Isn't that what fighting is all about?
Use any means necessary and don't hesitate to do anything!

"Hey! Good guy!"

Qi Heng, who was watching the show nearby, was very supportive and only exclaimed after Ling Xiao withdrew his spell.

"Brother Xiao, you're truly invincible! This talent is incredible! If I could, I'd really like to trade you for the [Thunder Pond]!"

Ling Xiao glanced at him and didn't respond. He just casually replied, "You want my talent? I really want yours! What the hell do you know?!"

"I am where I am today because of my hard work!"

"Ah, yes, yes!"

After collecting the spoils, the two brothers did not stay long and prepared to meet up with the pioneering team.

The first phase of the battle plan targeting this demonic tide point went smoothly.

Even with the extraordinary (normal) performance of Ling Xiao and the others, most of the defensive forces outside the Demon Tide Cave were directly drawn away and all of them were killed!
Of course, they don't know this.

Because when a few people arrived for reconnaissance last night, they discovered that this group of strange snakes were swimming out of the huge cave continuously.

If we let it "develop" peacefully, the demonic tide will erupt in the future, and I'm afraid it will truly live up to its name...

At this moment, no one knows how many monsters have gathered at the magic tide point, and whether they will spread further outward.

This is also their motivation to go there on their own initiative.

It was originally just a reconnaissance mission.

Unexpectedly, the top two in the district thought about it and decided to fight back!
And then... nothing more.

The group of monsters, which had an absolute advantage in numbers and were of a considerable level, were directly crushed by the two of them.

Especially the monsters that died at Ling Xiao's hands, not only did they drop regular experience packs and loot, but even their racial talents had to be extracted to feed a group of derivative talents.

Even the soul of the strongest LV13 Green Wave Spirit Snake could not escape.

It was directly extracted by Ling Xiao and turned into a spirit that could be driven!

After the quality of [Heart of Taotie] was upgraded to excellent, the limits of more than ten derived talents also rose accordingly.

The "inferior" products from the early transition period have almost been replaced.

The current twelve derived talents all come from fairly important monsters and explorers, and the minimum quality cap is excellent.

Looking around, all you see are young "Taotie" crying for food!
After looting a wave of monsters, a lot of "food" was dropped.

But egalitarianism is impossible.

“Feeding” a little bit of each item is equivalent to a waste!
The [Glow of Embers] that is kept in the bottom of the box can be automatically sublimated, which is very worry-free.

Among the remaining talents, talents like [Scorching Sun Explosion] are more important and require sufficient investment to quickly reach the current upper limit and maximize combat effectiveness.

If you don’t have enough talent, you will worry; if you have too much talent, it will be difficult to deal with it.

Alas, another happy trouble...

"How about it?"

With a quick glance, Ling Xiao selected a tree of ordinary quality and asked as he chopped it down, "Has the distribution of these resources been affected by the heavy rain?"

"no!"

Ye Zhanqing shared the reconfirmed map information with him and said, "The stone and wood materials in the areas we scouted a few days ago haven't changed."

"Except for the caves! I didn't dare let anyone get close! It was basically flooded, and someone might even step on something if they weren't careful! Luckily, the monsters inside are nowhere to be found for the time being."

With Ling Xiao's current physique and strength, plus the improved axe, chopping trees is extremely easy.

During the break between work, he also recounted the story of how he lured the enemy into a counterattack and killed them.

"Mengyu and the others are preparing the props. Brother Xiao, how long do you think it will take before we can start?"

Ye Zhanqing sent another sample. This was a prop specially designed by [Light of Green Mountain] to defeat the demonic monsters entrenched here after discovering them.

"We still have time. There's no need to rush into a decisive battle."

Ling Xiao thought as he said, "The Jade Spirit Snake has a water attribute, and the rainstorm just provides a favorable environment for them."

"If this little thing is really useful, as long as there are enough of it, it can temporarily dry up the area! Water can resist fire, but a big enough fire can also clear the water away!"

"Now that the finished product is ready, why don't you let me and Brother Dao test its efficacy and see if there's anything that needs improvement?"

"Well, that's what I thought too."

They hit it off immediately. Qi Heng, who was working hard at chiseling stones next to them, was called over to continue the journey.

The three of them have become accustomed to the division of labor among themselves.

At first, Ye Zhanqing thought Qi Heng’s “not caring about anything” was just a joke.

I didn't expect this guy to be so lazy that he doesn't even use his brain!
Wearing the same pair of pants?
It’s too low, even a life-and-death friendship is not enough.

How close were they before?!

……

Qi Heng had no idea what Ye Zhanqing was thinking.

In fact, even if Ling Xiao next to him spoke plainly to him, he would just hold his head high and accept it with pleasure.

Are you kidding me?
Don't even think about letting him leave this ultimate and invincible external brain beside him with just some idle gossip!

"Give me some, give me a few! I can throw grenades with absolute accuracy!"

Unable to resist Qi Heng's instigation, Ling Xiao directly transferred a few to him from the panel.

He reminded her worriedly, "Be careful! This thing hasn't been tested in actual combat. If it explodes in your hand, you'll be in trouble!"

"Is it?"

Qi Heng was eager to try. The lightning in his palm became stronger, as if he was going to pop a firecracker for fun.

"Look at you! If you can't control your hands, give it back to me. I'll give it to you when we get there!"

"Don't! My hand is steady!"

Joking aside, Qi Heng could feel the power contained in these little gadgets.

Not small, but not big either.

It's no problem to blow him to pieces, but it's still a long way to go to break his defense and hurt him.

But, there are copper coins behind this thing!

He lost it in his hands before he even reached his destination. He's really a bit of a guild leader...

Ling Xiao stopped, and Qi Heng next to him also stopped in tacit understanding.

The channel, a silent communication tool, showed its reliability when the team was hunting the Black Needle Pig King.

With it, there will never be a fool exposing the stupid operation of the entire team with just one sentence.

"At 11 o'clock, about 30 meters away, there are more than ten strange snakes. At 2 o'clock, about 50 meters away, there's a larger one."

Bayi Cleaver: "Awesome! How do you say that?"

"The map shows that we are still nearly a hundred meters away from the Demonic Tide Caverns. These fire bombs must be used together to measure their true effects."

"So I want to keep moving forward, try to avoid these outer soldiers as much as possible, and then attack again after getting close to the main enemy force!"

"But then we might have to fight a big one. Putting aside the provocation, what do you think?"

Bayi Cleaver: "Brother Xiao, you know me. Although I'm not young anymore, I can't tell you're trying to provoke me. I just know we're going on a killing spree!"

Ling Xiao smiled silently and didn't say much.

This kind of adventurous work can only be done with like-minded brothers!
Without further hesitation, he continued forward at the head of the pack.

Qi Heng summoned a bone spear in his right hand and followed Ling Xiao with a fire bomb in his left hand.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, took this crooked route towards the magic tide point that had already been marked on the map.

The words are divided into two parts.

Not long ago, the outer perimeter defense forces suffered heavy losses. The monster group here also realized the seriousness of the problem and began to shrink the defense line and hold on until reinforcements.

There aren't many of them, just over a hundred.

But the high-end combat force consisting of a LV14 elite monster leading four LV13 elite blue wave snakes should not be underestimated!
Ling Xiao and Qi Heng knew nothing about this information.

The intelligence was completed through repeated attempts. At least in the first few reconnaissances, the true size of the snake group had not yet been determined.

Stop again.

Under the influence of [Firm Will] and [Eternally Solid Heart], Ling Xiao's mind hardly fluctuates greatly.

But emotions such as tension are difficult to avoid, but the fluctuations are very small.

At this moment, they have completely penetrated the snake group's defense circle.

The rain curtain is both an obstacle and a natural cover.

They were unable to observe the enemy visually, and it was also difficult for the snake group to discover these two daring "thieves".

The reason why Ling Xiao dared to do this was thanks to his newly acquired [Water Flow Control].

This talent and [Spatial Perception] triggered a wonderful reaction, and wherever the water flowed, it could transmit fragmented information.

The frequency is high enough and the quantity is large enough.

It was enough to make Ling Xiao imagine a complete "radar" in his mind.

Now it is difficult to move forward because the water flow has encountered the largest snake body.

Although Ling Xiao retreated quickly, this unusual contact obviously attracted the other party's attention.

The Iron Heart Knife flashed out quietly.

Qi Heng, who was standing next to him, didn't need to say anything when he saw this.

With a grin, lightning flashed!

A sharp scream suddenly sounded!

However, the two of them did not show any embarrassment or panic at all about being discovered.

Ling Xiao slashed out several light blades forward, tearing through the rain curtain while also illuminating the attacking huge snake head!

But he still held the fire bomb firmly in his hand, because the main function of this thing was not to kill the enemy.

Need to wait a little longer!
When enough snakes gather around...

No hard fight.

After discovering that the light blade failed to cut through the opponent's broken shield above his head, Ling Xiao retreated decisively!
Without turning around, his eyes were still intently collecting information in front of him!

Dense swarms of snakes filled the field of vision, and the surging attacks were like an oncoming wall of water!

Qi Heng would occasionally unleash several interlaced bolts of lightning to slow down the monsters' pursuit.

Spatial perception is maximized to provide all-round feedback on the surrounding terrain and environment.

Originally, they had been circling around and slipping past many strange snakes.

Now exposed.

Not only were there groups of snakes chasing after them, but there were also winding and swimming figures coming from all directions to attack them.

The distant green snake even raised its head and fired a bunch of water arrows!

In this kind of situation, ordinary explorers wouldn't be able to escape so smoothly, and they probably wouldn't even be able to stand steadily.

Even a top-notch expert would have to flee in panic when faced with such a dangerous situation.

Apart from praying madly, I couldn't think of anything else.

But the demeanor displayed by Ling Xiao and the others at this moment, and the high-sounding "strategic shift" are really not just a way for them to flatter themselves!

Ling Xiao casually swung out a gust of wind, shattering the incoming water arrows. He finally felt that the time had come.

There are enough monsters chasing us!

It's now!

Spiritual power was injected into the palm of his hand, and the fire thunder seed lit up red lines after being activated.

Within one second after Ling Xiao made his move, Qi Heng also completed the corresponding action.

Two groups of small black shadows blended into the rain and flew in a predetermined direction.

During this time, the flames all over his body became increasingly intense, and after a moment, there was a loud bang!
bang bang bang-

The fireballs devoured each other and merged with each other, quickly giving rise to larger areas of destruction.

Finally, they connected together and covered the attacking monster snake!

Ling Xiao and the other two also stopped retreating.

He casually killed a few blind monsters and stared intently at the blasting experiment not far away.

There, the rain seemed to have stopped.

The burnt smell in the air even squeezed through the gaps in the rain curtain and rushed into the nostrils of the two.

Lethality...

Not big...

Because the group of strange snakes had eaten a lot of damage from the explosion, only a few of them died completely.

But the effect is surprisingly good.

The water vapor evaporates and the ground is exposed.

All these monsters looked like they had been skinned.

The water element that was beneficial to them was completely eliminated at this moment, and the injuries on their bodies were enough to show their decline in condition.

It’s so much easier to clean up now than before!
"Hiss...it smells a bit good!"

Qi Heng's eyes gleamed, "Brother Xiao, how about... another match?"

Then he saw a figure suddenly rushing forward next to him.

"What the hell!? You didn't even yell 'start!'"

"You have absolutely no martial ethics at all!!"
