Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 118, Section 117: Fighting Two Leaders Alone!

As dawn broke, the heavy rain continued.

However, the campsite of [Green Mountain Light] was much more lively than before.

The number of people doubled in the blink of an eye, and the cooks responsible for three meals a day were in for a big job.

Even with the added advantages of talent and profession, the shovel in his hand still spun around until it was smoking.

There are two professionals in the culinary field.

In addition to the head chef who cooks large pot meals, another girl who is skilled at making special delicacies using strange ingredients such as monster flesh and blood also joined in.

The two were inevitably a bit flustered.

But after these days of practice, I've managed to prepare breakfast on time and in good quality.

Meat, eggs, and dairy products—the latter two are nowhere to be found.

Monsters are everywhere, and you can always find edible meat by scavenging them.

A grand feast is always served after a major battle; this has become an implicit perk of the guild.

The original fifty people were fine.

While eating with their mouths full of oil, they would occasionally complain, "So this is what lizard meat tastes like!"

The new members, despite having done quite well before, had never enjoyed such luxurious logistical support before!

Stuffing large chunks of crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside meat into your mouth, while reminiscing about the hard times you used to live.

They almost burned my eyes out!

Ling Xiao was also quietly eating his breakfast, observing the new member's expression.

Actually, he did have some ulterior motives.

Even if the guild wins a battle and reaps a great reward, usually...

In order to store up food for unforeseen circumstances, it's impossible to eat such a lavish meal so early in the morning!

The chef was specifically instructed to add extra ingredients to subtly highlight the prestige of "Green Mountain Light" and enhance the new members' sense of belonging.

[Channel] Makes communication between explorers no longer isolated.

The transactions reveal genuine and substantial conflicts of interest.

Although deceit and treachery are unavoidable, as long as you diligently search and analyze, you can always obtain the information you want.

Ling Xiao was busy fighting monsters, but the others had free time!

Last night, after he asked Li Xiang to leave, he also had a long private conversation with him.

Including news he saw with his own eyes.

The results from these three channels all reveal a real problem.

That is survival!

The leaderboard changes daily, and the total number of participants decreases by a few, or even dozens, from time to time...

For top survivors like him and Qi Heng, the focus is naturally on "exploration".

However, most survivors not only failed to awaken their professions, but also found it difficult to survive under the continuous pressure of the torrential rain.

This can be gleaned from the words of the new members.

They are only far behind their past selves, but they are actually not weak at all.

Even for them, their previous guilds were barely surviving...

After all, not everyone can minimize the impact of a torrential downpour with the same strong execution as them.

Moreover, there are combat powerhouses like [Owl] and [August 1st Cleaver] who can move freely in the rain!

The name of "Light of Green Hills" is now becoming increasingly well-known, and it has almost become a legend in District 6103!

But where there is light, there is also darkness gathering in the shadows.

Lingxiao rubbed his fingers together, and the flames that ignited burned away the remaining grease.

The flames died down, but the light seemed to remain in his eyes, piercing through the rain and striking certain people...

"Is the plan clear?"

Ling Xiao surveyed the spirited group and reminded them again, "Remember, the primary task is to gather resources and conduct reconnaissance! If you encounter monsters, don't act rashly unless you're confident!"

"Evacuate decisively if necessary. If you can't escape, call for help. Don't risk your life for the sake of saving face!"

"clear!"

Figures wearing raincoats scattered out of the camp.

Of the new members, 80% were combat-oriented, and only a few extraordinary individuals with "special abilities" passed Ye Zhanqing's screening.

The personnel structure of 【青山之光】 is actually quite reasonable.

However, considering the upcoming demonic tide and unpredictable unknown dangers,

The guild has no shortage of high-end combatants, but the proportion of basic combatants should also be increased.

Ultimately, survivors' interaction with the world cannot be separated from having enough hard fists!

Even with other survivors and guilds, they will inevitably face mutual suspicion in the "dark forest" of the future...

Ling Xiao and Qi Heng continued to travel together.

It's not that they can't live without each other, but rather that their target is the most dangerous!

This is the gathering place of the Blazing Lizards!

That's also a landing point, and a medium-sized demonic tide is brewing there!

The situation is deteriorating, even more so than when all personnel were mobilized to eradicate the Azure Serpent!

Let's leave aside the elite monsters for now.

There is probably more than one powerful mutant of the leader level.

After much deliberation, Ling Xiao decided to take the initiative this time as well!

Ultimately, he still lacked confidence in the guild's defenses.

But who can be confident when faced with the prospect of such a terrifying beast tide?

There were originally only fifty people, but now there must be a hundred.

A hundred lives are on his shoulders.

As the top decision-maker, Ling Xiao finally understood what it meant to be walking on thin ice, constantly looking before and after the event.

"What's wrong? Feeling the pinch adding meat to your breakfast?"

Faced with Qi Heng's teasing, he smirked, "Sometimes I really want to kick you to death, you heartless idiot!"

"The two vice presidents are busy as spinning tops! But you, you just eat, sleep, and fight monsters all day long. You've really figured out how to be the president."

"Hehe! The capable should do more!"

Qi Heng puffed out his chest, a smug expression on his face, and chuckled, "Isn't the job of a leader to make his subordinates work like oxen and horses?"

"Tell me, when it was my turn to take responsibility, did I step up or not?"

"Did I not go enough?"

Ling Xiao retorted without holding back, "You, ranked second, dare to act tough in front of me, ranked first?"

"And I suddenly really want to hear Sister Ye's thoughts on the term 'ox or horse,' especially since you used it to describe her."

"No!"

Qi Heng quickly begged for mercy, "Just enjoy your words! Why are you getting so worked up?!"

There is no need to remain silent.

Ling Xiao's mastery of the [Azure Wave Domain] became increasingly proficient, and the places where sound could reach were basically within the range of his perception.

The two of them, one foot deep and one foot shallow, climbed steadily up the mountain.

According to the information obtained about the location of the demonic tide, this nest of blazing lizards landed on the top of a small hill.

The hill is very large, and the undulations at its foot are difficult to perceive.

The overall horizontal drop is probably less than ten meters.

Ling Xiao and Qi Heng had previously attacked this nest of monsters in order to level up to LV15.

Last night, they cleared the dungeon without delaying the outside world, perfectly "catching" the wave of lizards that came down the mountain seeking revenge.

The total number of enemies killed must be over two hundred!

However, considering that this is a medium-sized location, the quantity and quality of monsters are obviously not comparable to those of the previous location.

Just to be on the safe side, they conducted a second spying operation.

of course.

If circumstances allow, they will naturally want to level up.

The time within the instance created an illusion for Ling Xiao and his companion.

After a three-day hiatus at LV15, they are already gearing up to continue leading the entire region!

"At two o'clock, fifty meters, three; at twelve o'clock, eighty meters, nine..."

After receiving Ling Xiao's brief but clear report, Qi Heng charged forward with his bone spear.

Behind him, Ling Xiao, carrying a knife, monitored the surroundings while secretly gathering spiritual energy.

After absorbing several water-related talents, [Azure Wave Domain] also acquired these effects!

However, water flow control or water-sensing positioning is naturally more effective at close range than at a distance!

To compensate for this deficiency, injecting additional spiritual energy became a means of strengthening the domain!

Ling Xiao hasn't arrived yet.

The spiritual energy that was being released was already hidden in the surging water and was rushing forward!

He dared to make a second attempt, returning to this place to stroke the tiger's whiskers; the rain's influence on the monster and its bonus to himself were indispensable!

Simply by obscuring his vision and presence, he could significantly reduce the difficulty for himself!

The lizards didn't even have time to react until Qi Heng's gun pierced through the rain.

They can also sense heat sources in their surroundings, but not to the extent that the leader species possesses such abilities.

With the heavy, cold rain helping to insulate against the heat, how can one possibly dodge this sudden, deadly attack?

bang——

With a loud bang, the lizard that was hit directly by the bone spear instantly exploded into a bloody pulp.

The two beside them were not spared either; the raging lightning struck them, turning them into charred remains as they trembled stiffly.

The latest novel is first published here!

Only through the cracked outer skin, a few strands of tender, pink flesh, not yet fully ripe, were visible.

Ling Xiao didn't finish off the enemy, nor did he care about the income from this talent.

Similar to the experience gained from defeating enemies, once the quality reaches "Excellent," the gluttonous heart also begins to "be picky."

Or rather, its energy transfer efficiency is very low, and only "food" worthy of it can continue to drive its sublimation.

The same applies to all derivative talents.

Unbeknownst to him, Ling Xiao had reached a bottleneck that was extremely difficult to overcome.

And this is also the necessary path to the 【Heart of Gluttony】.

Fortunately, his current strength far exceeds the level description!

In the City of Madness, he naturally became subservient to all sorts of strange beings, but back in the real world, he is, to put it bluntly, invincible among his peers!

The enhanced Tyrant at level 20 has been defeated before!

"So... you're just letting me take on both bosses by myself?"

Picking up the corpse at his feet, Ling Xiao stared at the white steam rising from the rain not far away, where three powerful figures were slowly approaching.

"Hehe! The capable should do more!"

Qi Heng took out a special potion, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp. "Anyway, my burst damage is high, and your speed is fast!"

"I'll find an opportunity to fight one-on-one and try to take down a boss quickly!"

"You can stall for a bit, or just run away. I can't outrun you, but I can outrun them..."

The fiery lizard swarm reacted quickly.

After they made contact with the outer perimeter and broke through, a heavyweight monster immediately came looking for them.

And there were three of them at once, all of them were leader-level!

A fleeting glimpse!

【LV17 Blazing Lizard [Mutant] (Leader)】

[Racial Traits: High Temperature Tolerance, Thermal Sensitivity, Fiery Scales, Fire Regeneration, Wrath of Flames]

[Racial Skills: Flame Leap, Fire Blast, Firewalk, Charged Fireball, Flame Healing]

【个体属性：力量15/敏捷12/体质14；灵性15/感知11/精神13】

[Individual Description: ...]

The panel is very luxurious.

But Ling Xiao had seen it all before.

He discovered that the racial traits he had plundered from ordinary fiery lizards were all skills of boss monsters.

These three bosses clearly possess superior talent!

The sight of prey fills me with delight!

"grass!!"

Just as the two were talking, a jet of flame as thick as a tree trunk shot straight at them!

Lingxiao went to the left, and Qiheng went to the right.

The battlefields were now separated.

However, it differs somewhat from the hastily prepared plan...

There was only one chasing Qi Heng, and it was a level 17 mini-boss.

Two others came specifically for Ling Xiao, one of which was level 18!

boom--

It felt as if a bunch of burning basketballs were raining down on me!

Ling Xiao's pupils reflected the firelight, but he felt no fear in his heart.

Because the two desires that had been ignited had already taken over his emotions!

greedy!

And... arrogance!

As for being furious?

Not so much.

Although all the opponents were higher level than him, in the face of strength, the level difference was just a bonus to gaining experience.

The Iron Heart Blade was almost glowing red!

That's a sign that spiritual energy and internal energy can't be more abundant!

Its inherent spiritual essence allows it to bear such terrifying power, and it can control it at will.

With the reintroduction of Monster Hunter, it has become the sharpest blade in Ling Xiao's hands!

A slash from a distance!

A magnificent crimson blade light burst forth from the edge, rapidly expanding and tearing out a dazzling arc of light as it swept away!

It tore through the rain and collided violently with the equally violent jet of flame!

The almost solidified, blazing flames were also split in two by the terrifying blade light.

But that's not all.

Because the jet of flames came from the mouth of that LV18 lizard and arrived first, while Ling Xiao's field of vision was still full of sparks!

So he slashed with his longsword.

The fierce energy was freely expressed, weaving a winding trail of firelight like a brocade ribbon!

A fiery lotus seemed to slowly bloom before Ling Xiao, with a stream of energy flowing between its petals.

Fireballs came crashing in one after another, but they were all blocked in front of him, unable to go any further.

But the distance between the two sides has been narrowed.

It wasn't just two leader-level Fiery Lizards that were attacking.

Ling Xiao also took the initiative to charge!

Facing two opponents alone, and despite being at a level disadvantage, he still dared to take on the challenge!?

If a new member were to watch the game, they would probably be astonished!

They imagined how powerful and exceptionally talented the top two followers were.

But only by witnessing their extraordinary and "crazy" fighting style firsthand can one truly understand why everyone can obey them so readily after just a few days together.

Geniuses and madmen alike possess an enduring charm that makes people willingly follow them.

Without a doubt, Ling Xiao has both.

bang bang bang-

A series of explosions rang out.

Before the person even hit anything, another wave of fireballs attacked!

This time, Ling Xiao simply didn't waste any of his moves.

Unleash your full power directly!

After smashing the fireball, it charged away with the most ruthless momentum!

The Seven Deadly Sins – Pride Revealed!

The leader-level Blazing Lizard is sensitive to heat sources, but the fireballs happen to interfere with this source of information.

Ling Xiao was arrogant, but his selfless act of crashing into her was not a mindless act of arrogance!

Confidence gives you strength!

Only with a plan can you force things to happen!

As the flames dissipated, he could even see the astonishment in those small eyes.

Charging forward at breakneck speed is more than just reckless.

The accompanying wind trails were amplified dramatically and now condensed onto the blade as well!

Raise the sword and slash!

Crescent-shaped wind blades twisted the flames in the confined space.

As it expanded, it also detonated the small amounts of internal energy contained within!

Miniature explosions bloomed in the wind blades, making the entire Qi-force wind slash look like a basket full of "flowers".

Blooming in front of the Fiery Lizard!

boom!

Ling Xiao had had his fill of their fire, this was his way of returning the favor!
