Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 129, Section 128: The rain stops! The moon rises! The monsters go berserk!

The torrential rain continued to fall.

But Ling Xiao keenly sensed that something had changed in the dim light before him.

The hidden quest lit up with a golden light the moment the last day arrived.

Successfully surviving the demonic surge will earn you a title.

However, before that, the efforts made by the survivors also need to be recognized.

Because [Light of Green Hills] not only spent a huge sum of money to build a shelter, but also destroyed several nests under the leadership of Ling Xiao and others.

The exceptionally high level of completion earned all members a valuable reward.

In particular, Ling Xiao and several others who contributed the most even received [Excellent] level items!

"Brother Xiao, what's yours?"

Qi Heng toyed with the small scarecrow in his hand, asking curiously, "My little one can transfer damage a few times, yours must be even better!"

Holding his superior prop in his hand, Ling Xiao pouted, somewhat helpless.

There were no labels on the glass bottle, and the liquid inside was clear and transparent.

According to the system description, this bottle of "flammable boiled water" can only be consumed once, and the effect lasts for only three minutes.

As for the results...

All attributes are boosted; Stamina and Spiritual Power enter the [Accelerated Burning] state; All types of resilience are enhanced.

There is only one side effect: when it takes effect, the patient is highly alert; after it expires, the patient enters a state of drowsiness.

It seemed a bit hard to describe, but Ling Xiao made a simple estimate of the effects it would have on himself.

In those three minutes, my combat power could conservatively double!

Fighting isn't just about attack power; you have to consider all sorts of factors.

The accelerated consumption of stamina and spiritual energy results in a stronger effect for the same move, and increased resilience is equivalent to having the [control immunity] trait.

As for the overall attribute boost, although it only lasts for three minutes, its power is self-evident!

"Heh! Xiao-ge, how did you know I like this kind of thing?!"

Qi Heng's eyes lit up, and he made a move to grab it.

With a slap, Ling Xiao slapped away the feigned hand and said coldly, "You like being a drunkard? Wait until today, then you'll get your fill!"

"But now, behave yourself! This might be the toughest hurdle we've faced so far, and even I'm not entirely confident..."

Qi Heng remained silent, then grinned.

He's not some kind of mentally challenged person who's missing a few of his three souls and seven spirits.

His current antics are merely a way of recognizing the immense pressure Ling Xiao is under and wanting to help alleviate it.

With hundreds of lives on his shoulders, even he, as the main fighting force, was under immense pressure, let alone Ling Xiao, who could decide life and death in a single moment.

After all, they were just young people who had just turned twenty...

An irresistible, surging tide swept in; escaping this sea of suffering was a pipe dream. All one could do was struggle desperately to keep one's head above water...

"Damn! They're here!"

Amidst Qi Heng's barely concealed, tense shouts, Ling Xiao also clearly "saw" the massive tide spreading out in the far distance!

That's the sea!?

Still a mountain!?

The Azure Waves can capture the subtle changes in water ripples at great distances.

there.

A "wall" is rapidly advancing!

"Damn it... this is something no human can withstand!?"

Licking his slightly dry lips, Qi Heng suddenly turned to the side.

While blocking Ye Zhanqing's tense gaze, he handed over his straw doll.

Under Ling Xiao's surprised gaze, he secretly pointed to his heart, raised an eyebrow, and chuckled softly, "Brother Xiao, I'm still craving that one. How about we switch?"

"Don't worry! You know my health bar? It's top-notch! But you, Commander, need to be alive to give orders!"

Ling Xiao naturally understood the meaning behind it.

But he just waved his hand, signaling Qi Heng to stop talking nonsense.

After the boss's wife exposed their little secrets in the dungeon, the two brothers also had an open and honest private chat to confide in each other.

Blood Demon Imprisoning Dragon's Heart

This is the only sealed artifact they have ever seen that has been "subdued".

Others in the channel have also encountered this.

They were quite excited at first, but the outcomes were never good...

Lingxiao's [Oath Ring] is hard to define; its effects are actually similar to those of a powerful sealing artifact, which has both good and bad aspects.

However, the Blood Demon Imprisoning Dragon Heart's all-around improvement over Qi Heng surprised even Ling Xiao, who considered himself to have seen many great things!

Moreover, after becoming a Dragon Slayer, he could even detect an impatient bloodlust in his best friend!

This sealed artifact is truly causing Qi Heng to transform into a dragon bloodline!?

There were some unspeakable side effects.

Unexpectedly, the proprietress's cup of tea allowed Qi Heng to freely explore the power contained within it!

Of course, it must be done step by step.

Moreover, it's not without its risks. Gifts aren't free, and no one can predict how they will be repaid in the future.

even so.

The power of this heart is now so great that even Ling Xiao, the dragon slayer, is terrified.

Therefore, he never claims that he is the strongest in the entire region.

With this formidable second-ranked player beside me, even with my many talents, I can't really say I can guarantee a win if we really fight!

Ling Xiao could finally understand the pressure Qi Heng had been under before the two had recognized each other...

[Flammable Boiled Water] This superior-grade explosive drug, if given to Qi Heng, would undoubtedly create a powerful being whose combat strength breaks through the LV20 limit!

Even just three minutes is enough to change many potentially dangerous situations!

But Ling Xiao still shook his head and refused.

When it came time for Qi Heng to drink the bottle of wine and risk his life, he felt it was better for him to drink it himself.

The reason is also very simple.

Both of them are currently at a higher level than LV20.

But when it comes to immunity to negative states, you are definitely better than anyone else!

After three minutes, even if you feel drowsy, you won't be completely paralyzed and unable to move.

The shelter will not directly lose one of its top combat forces...

"Fine, fine! You always have a reason, and you always manage to convince me."

Qi Heng turned his head helplessly to look outside.

He couldn't see through the rain curtain, and the water flow didn't give him any feedback.

After absorbing a few strands of pure dragon blood, Qi Heng's perception of the aura of his "kind" surged dramatically.

From afar, many, many monsters are attacking...

Strangely, they seemed to be fighting all along...

Huge raindrops fell from the sky, gathering and flowing down the huge umbrella-like canopy in the center of the camp.

If we can't make it through today, it's all over!

What's the use of having a lot of money when you're dead?

Civil engineers love clients who are generous with their payments.

In particular, the current project is also tied to its own safety.

The entire shelter, from the outside, looks like a short, stout "mushroom".

The umbrella extends outwards, blocking the rainwater and draining it all outside the campsite.

The umbrella ribs are inlaid with luminescent stones, which can provide illumination when activated.

At this moment, however, it was pitch black, blending perfectly with the dim rainy night.

After making their final preparations, everyone gripped their weapons tightly and stood quietly in their assigned positions, anxiously awaiting the impending outcome.

For the time being, only Ling Xiao, Qi Heng, and Ye Zhanqing were on the wall.

【Light of Green Hills】Three of the five LV20 explorers.

The other two are Iron Hammer Sister, who has gained a lot of professional experience, and Su Jinxi, who seems delicate but has a very strong fighting ability.

The "Rain Falls in Torrents" version is nearing its end.

There are still more than 38,000 people in the entire region, but only a dozen or so explorers have reached LV20.

When we first advanced, the number of qualified people in Zone 61035 alone was much higher than this!

The data clearly confirmed Ling Xiao's speculation.

The level cap is not a limitation.

On the contrary, it's a hidden benefit!

Those who reach their ceiling early can maximize their resource acquisition and development.

It seems that fewer and fewer people will meet the requirements on time in the future...

Even I myself might not meet the standards...

The latest novel is first published here!

What happens if no one in the entire region can reach a certain level within the specified time?

Ling Xiao could only bury his anxiety deep inside.

There are too many frustrating things on my mind, let's deal with the current problem first...

The mountain... is here!

Ye Zhanqing doesn't have their special abilities, but he's definitely in the top tier at LV20.

As the surging demonic tide drew closer, she keenly sensed the approaching carnage!

No exaggeration!

There is absolutely no rhetorical device used.

That swarm, that heap, that boundless wave of black and red!

They are spreading this way while fighting and biting each other!

Ling Xiao blinked, his ears also seemed a little uncomfortable.

What did he see?!

Wait, the familiar, loud rain sound that I had grown accustomed to has vanished!

The rain has stopped!?

Silence. The world has never been so clearly audible.

The puddles on the ground were tinged with an eerie scarlet color.

After a brief moment of shock, Ling Xiao immediately realized the reason.

heaven!

Those three moons!

The approaching demonic tide was also bathed in this eerie light, and the horrific carnage was now visible to the naked eye.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Xiao directly connected the two.

Today is the last day of the "Rain Falls and Torrents" event.

The rain has stopped...

This caused the crimson moonlight to fall...

The already bizarre monsters lost even their instincts under the influence of this light...

Because Ling Xiao witnessed firsthand monsters of the same kind fighting each other, the big devouring the small, and the small eating the big.

The most basic racial concepts vanished at that moment.

What would happen if a person were exposed to this kind of moonlight?

Lingxiao felt a chill run down his spine.

At this moment, he was extremely grateful that Iron Hammer Sister's "big umbrella" plan had been approved.

Without the shelter of the sky overhead, no one dares to imagine the consequences of being directly exposed to the moonlight...

The demonic tide is still approaching, and the tremors have already reached the shelter.

There are no fools among the survivors who have made it this far.

The sudden cessation of the heavy rain outside and the gradually approaching monsters increased the psychological pressure on these people.

Fortunately, whenever they looked up, the three figures stood like rocks on the high wall, giving them the determination and courage to brave the waves!

My breathing was a little heavy.

Realizing this, Ling Xiao switched his breathing to "manual" mode.

Force your body, which is inevitably tense under the overwhelming pressure, to start taking deep breaths to deliver oxygen throughout your body and stimulate vitality.

"Brother Xiao, I think we haven't set enough traps..."

Ye Zhanqing's dry voice came from the side.

Qi Heng echoed in a muffled voice, "Indeed! Damn it... I think so too..."

Not only the two of them, but even Ling Xiao himself felt that more money should have been allocated for this trap in the first place.

Everyone had gotten used to the rumbling ground.

Because tonight's main event is about to begin!

Boom boom boom boom boom—

A series of explosions and bursts of sound were heard.

The most numerous magical traps were set up directly opposite the sealed gate of the shelter.

At this moment, they did not, but began their final, faithful service!

Multicolored lights shone in the darkness, and countless monsters were blasted to their deaths on the spot, their flesh and blood flying everywhere!

Based on the known location of the demonic tide's arrival, and after meticulous calculations...

Ling Xiao and the others deduced that the point of greatest impact would come from here.

Simply taking a beating is not their style.

Since they couldn't avoid the demonic tide anyway, after preparing their cramped and miserable "burrows" to survive, they naturally wanted to gain as much initiative as possible!

The outer defense created by the copper coins didn't last long; in fact, they had already fulfilled their purpose.

The results that Ling Xiao saw were already comparable to the number of monsters in a small-scale demonic tide.

But that's far from enough...

The surging demonic tide, spreading in a wave-like pattern, only managed to breach a small gap directly in front of the shelter.

The subsequent impact didn't linger for long; it continued immediately!

As Ling Xiao poured several expensive potions into his mouth, he reached out to hold down the somewhat out-of-control Ye Zhanqing, while being pleasantly surprised to see that the demonic tide was not the worst-case scenario.

dong dong dong...

The dense, resounding impacts were almost continuous, but the monsters showed no signs of actively climbing up to attack.

They were more like they were "squeezed" in, and then their way out was blocked by the sturdy high walls of the shelter.

The only way to dodge upwards is to step on other monsters with all your might before being crushed to death.

Neither of the demonic tides flowing from either side had any intention of surrounding the shelter.

They continued to surge towards the distance, seemingly never tiring...

But this is undoubtedly an excellent situation for the survivors!

They watched as some of the monsters were lifted higher and higher, approaching the highest point of the wall.

Ling Xiao no longer restrained his qi, and his entire body suddenly surged with crimson and blue flames!

A sharp blade of light flashed out, instantly slicing through dozens of dazzling monsters!

"The plan remains unchanged!"

He was not distracted by the unexpected joy and made a quick decision after assessing the situation.

"Attention! Don't waste your energy attacking until the monster is close to its maximum strength!"

"Only shoot those that are close in altitude!! Don't aim to kill them! Just shoot them down or knock them back!!"

"Don't be greedy for experience points from kills! Your primary task is to survive!!"

Qi Heng and Ye Zhanqing ran to opposite sides respectively.

The wall was so large that the three of them couldn't all be piled together.

The demonic tide did not launch an attack on the city, but even if only a portion of its terrifying numbers were piled up outside the shelter, it put immense pressure on the defenses!

After all, although these monsters would attack each other, their fighting spirit and madness after being exposed to the crimson moonlight were remarkable.

This is absolutely unprecedented!

The area under the umbrella was "clean," yet these monsters remained rampant!

In the midst of the fighting, Ling Xiao also noticed this.

He immediately ordered, "Turn on the lights!"

The anxious Hammer Sister, waiting in the camp, immediately unsealed the magic scroll she used for control.

The above technique, driven by spiritual power, remotely activated the Bright Light Stone, and in an instant, a bright white light shone forth!

Above the shelter, a flawless "moonlight" appeared!

But Ling Xiao did not see the result he wanted.

The monsters' restlessness remained ferocious.

Moreover, in a clear field of vision, the hellish scenes are revealed in every detail!

In the distance, the black and red demonic tide seemed endless...

What can we do?
