Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 13: The Second Battle

To describe a boy's embarrassment, his face would be as red as a boiled pig's liver; a girl's shyness would be described more delicately, like a ripe tomato that bursts with juice at the slightest touch.

Lin Lu hurriedly tried to find a solution, her burning brain circuits quickly generating a plan.

[When the Forest is Deep, a Deer Appears: "Why don't you hang it in the shop? It doesn't take up much space here! Your backpack will definitely be used to carry your loot, I'm so sorry, so sorry! You can put it here, I'll buy it back when I have the money..."]

[Owl: "???"]

[Xiao: "Big sister! Don't you know all transactions are recorded? I've already recorded you selling these socks! People don't care if you sold them or gave them away. How can I possibly list them in my own shop?!"]

Lin Lu was on the verge of tears.

She wasn't angered by Ling Xiao; she genuinely knew she was wrong.

They were so generous, but I ended up doing something wrong...

[When you see a deer in the deep forest: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."]

Seemingly sensing the other person's sudden change in mood, Ling Xiao gave a wry smile, looked at the extra sock in his backpack, and sighed softly, "What's the big deal..."

[Xiao: "Sigh, alright, it's not a big deal. It's just a minor hiccup. It's about time, you go do your thing, I have things to do."]

The other side responded with another round of apologies, thanks, and blessings.

I didn't reply, I just closed the window.

Ling Xiao felt that if they talked for a few more minutes, the other person might just burst into tears.

Looking at the cotton socks in my backpack, I suddenly felt an urge to take them out, hold them in my hands, and examine them closely.

I snapped out of it instantly. What the hell was I thinking?!

Startled, Ling Xiao hardened his heart and slapped himself twice across the face.

I almost embarked on the path of no return to perversion. Has my heart become so repressed that it's twisted?

Shake your head to clear away all distracting thoughts.

A bunch of odds and ends were thrown around the campfire, and the pure white cotton sock was tossed directly into the leaping flames.

Even though I know it won't catch fire, out of sight, out of mind. Let this all-purifying flame burn away the filth in my heart!

Besides materials, just make room in your backpack.

After becoming an explorer, the backpack also unlocks new features.

One ominous copper coin can open one space, which is affordable, but Lingxiao has enough for now.

Overall, in the long run, he undoubtedly benefited from this deal and also got to know a "silly girl" along the way.

Of course, it's also possible that they were fooled by the acting skills of the actors.

However, once I got my hands on the cool spring water, its effects were indeed extremely useful to me now.

that's enough.

As long as the result is good, it doesn't matter if the process is a bit tortuous!

Cool Spring Water

[Quality: Average]

[Conditions: Constitution level 3, Spirit level 3; No consumption within 12 hours, otherwise consumption will result in half the effect]

[Special Effect: Increases spirit power recovery rate by 30% for half an hour]

[Review: Refreshingly cool, exhilarating!]

After uncorking the bottle, Ling Xiao drank the approximately 300 milliliters of clear liquid in one gulp.

In an instant, a cool sensation rushed to the top of my head.

Upon opening the panel, the spiritual energy value, which had originally recovered to over 40, began to accumulate at a visible speed.

The skin and flesh injuries caused by the badger are really just skin and flesh injuries; they hurt and itch a little, but then they're not a big deal.

Wearing a tough, non-special-effect gauntlet on the left hand, and in the absence of protective gear, holding a knife in the right hand, the left hand must be used to block enemy attacks at crucial moments.

As for who the enemy is?

Holding up the refreshed torch, Ling Xiao strode quickly in a certain direction.

As long as you have the ability, there's no such thing as taking revenge overnight.

One level 2, one level 3.

Ling Xiao now has the confidence to come and attack again!

He allocated the upgraded Freedom attribute to Spirit, because he was lacking it before, and the Soul Badger's impact on the soul was really annoying.

If you return to your original mental state, you won't suffer too much when you fight against it.

Moreover, he devoured [Soul Resistance], which is the product of two identical talents stacked together.

He really wanted to give it a try.

Could the shockwaves from that ghostly blue flame inflict such severe injuries on him again?

Spiritual energy recovers very quickly, and the difference becomes apparent when compared to physical energy.

After all, the former only increases without using skills, while the latter constantly consumes and recovers, like a pool with two water pipes.

The gray fog churned, as if something within it was stirring it up with unusual force.

Having already acquired the talent of "Bloodlust," Ling Xiao's mindset has been subtly and gradually changing.

The hidden quest is a series, and after its return and resolution, it has entered the next stage.

[Bloody Awakening (Advanced Quest in Progress)]

The latest novel is first published here!

[Content: Ten-day time limit, kill any target [11/100]]

[Reward: [Bloodlust] upgraded to the permanent talent [Bloodstained Battle]; Final Quest unlocked]

Compared to the effects of [Bloodlust], [Bloodstained Battle] is the immediate combat power that Ling Xiao truly envies.

[Bloodstained Combat: When dealing/receiving damage, Strength, Agility, and Perception are significantly increased for ten minutes, and this effect can be triggered continuously. After being injured and out of combat, these attributes will be slightly lower than normal.]

To put it simply, it's gone berserk!

To date, Ling Xiao's combat power has not undergone any fundamental transformation.

Without the [Flame Fist] skill to hold the line, all I can do is basic attacks.

Bloodlust played a crucial role in the previous battle where five Soul Badgers were killed in a row.

Even if the attribute improvement is very slight, he would never have achieved such a brilliant number of kills without it.

So it's just a hundred?

kill!

He must acquire this talent!

If Ling Xiao's guess is correct, the final mission that unlocks after completing the advancement mission, [Bloodstained Battle], can be further enhanced.

Moreover, it should be a talent that directly enhances combat power!

puff-

The machete got stuck in the skull of the filthy, ferocious rat, whose piercing screams made Ling Xiao's temples throb.

The deadly claw strike, which was meant to be a life-or-death exchange, was blocked by the arm guard, leaving streaks of sparks.

Fortunately, even if a wristband of ordinary quality is damaged, its inherent sturdiness is not lost.

Apart from three white marks, there were no other signs of breaching the defenses.

Ling Xiao, who decisively abandoned his sword, unleashed his Flame Fist with all his might while blocking the claw attack!

The explosion at such close range directly shattered the ferocious rat's head, which was about the size of a kettle.

I managed to avoid it in time, but my legs and feet inevitably got splashed a bit.

After retrieving his machete, Ling Xiao put away the headless rat carcass and continued walking towards the Soul Badger's territory.

This level 3 ferocious rat is probably part of the same group as the previous ones.

But since we've encountered him, it's a good opportunity to send them to hell for a reunion.

A family should always be together!

See, even monsters don't have any sense of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, or righteousness!

With dark blue, beady eyes, he looked with some confusion at the figure that had broken through the gray mist and returned.

The Soul Badger was struggling to tear apart its companion's corpse, especially the organs on its back, which were highly nutritious for them.

They're already dead, we can't waste their lives.

Explorers with maps, a bug-level item, can absolutely make the most of the sixteen-character mantra of guerrilla warfare!

Seeing that the corpses of the five Soul Badgers had been eaten down to only two mutilated ones, Ling Xiao felt a surge of inexplicable anger.

"You're not allowed to eat my prey?! Not even family members!"

The flash of the blade seemed to illuminate an extremely gleeful, sinister smile!
