Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 130, Page 129: Shift Work? A Giant! The Struggle Between Left and Right!

They can't kill them all!

There's no way to kill them all!

With great power comes great responsibility.

Lingxiao's position not only faces the area with the most monsters, but the constant barrage of sword light also covers a large section of the wall.

Aside from a few LV20 members, the average strength of the remaining members of [Light of Green Hills] has reached LV15!

Absolutely top-tier in the entire region!

However, even a force of a hundred professionals like this is no match for the demonic tide!

If it weren't for the shelters available, facing this terrifying disaster on the open plains without cover, probably no one would have survived.

Human strength has its limits.

Even Lingxiao, who can plunder talent, cannot draw physical strength from corpses.

They'll eventually be worn down...

Not only him, but everyone was facing such a fierce attack for the first time.

Fortunately, after these days of training, no one made any mistakes in the chaos. Although they were mentally shaken, they were still able to fight the enemy with all their might!

One wave of bloody, mangled monsters rose up, only to be slain by the fiercely wielded weapons.

Not one of them was intact; they had all managed to crawl up from the lowest layer of flesh and blood.

After escaping being crushed to death, it was instantly killed by the attacks of the survivors.

As the fight progressed, everyone became somewhat numb.

The rain has stopped, and the "Rainy Night" version seems to have reached its final chapter.

At this point, there are no rewards for killing, not only for experience, but even the [Gluttonous Heart] has lost its "appetite" due to the overwhelming number of deaths.

Ling Xiao downed bottle after bottle of recovery supplements, then unleashed a series of brilliant sword strikes that reached several meters in distance.

The extremely violent output forcefully flattened a significant portion of the demonic tide in front of them!

The tide has already passed.

It flows ceaselessly towards the distant horizon.

The shelter, lit up with bright lights, silently withstood the relentless onslaught of the waves, like a lighthouse in the sea.

The black tide crashed in, then turned into scarlet blood rain and disappeared.

The defensive battle lasted for about half an hour.

Ling Xiao also sensed that something was wrong!

Too high...

The monster horde outside has grown taller...

My output did not decrease.

The members, having adapted to the harsh reality before them, are now able to unleash even greater power...

As the problem arose, several answers that had been anticipated flashed through my mind one after another.

Based on the signals transmitted through the remaining water, he immediately roared, "Fire Thunder, prepare!"

"Target! A pile of body parts outside the wall!"

"put!!"

Building shelters is not just a job for civil engineers.

Personnel training is also one of the subjects taught in evacuation!

Plans can never keep up with changes, so on-the-spot decision-making is crucial!

However, it is also the duty of any leader with a brain to develop contingency plans in advance in case of unexpected events!

During the intense preparation period.

The guild's dinner time became a stage for everyone to speak freely.

A flash of genius is crucial.

However, Ling Xiao believes that exhaustive listing based on collective wisdom is also quite useful!

The idea that corpses would pile up near the wall after killing the enemy was something a history enthusiast came up with from ancient sieges.

His impassioned suggestion, after careful consideration by Ling Xiao and others, became one of the many contingency plans.

It shines brightly at this moment!

Boom boom boom—

There was no dramatic scene of Huo Leizi being pushed back by the surging demonic tide.

Although they inevitably shifted, their small size allowed them to eventually "slip" in.

Then, with a deafening explosion, the demonic tide that was gradually approaching the wall gate was blasted into scattered pieces!

The bottom layer of "meat paste" was also largely emptied.

Although the monster will devour the corpses of its companions, it will never be able to completely clean them up.

Let's clean it up.

This finally nipped the brewing crisis in the bud.

Another half hour of offensive and defensive exchanges ensued.

"Brother Xiao! If the intensity of the demonic tide remains unchanged, then our Plan Two can proceed!"

Li Xiang also carried an iron spear, but as the weakest "civilian staff" in terms of combat strength, he really didn't have the courage to stand on the front line and carry out efficient killing.

【Green Mountain Light】has no intention of forcing them to go to the battlefield.

In life-or-death situations under immense pressure, non-combatants who lack the necessary skills are likely to do more harm than good.

Not only do you have to worry about the enemy, but you also have to worry about your teammates!?

Ling Xiao was very clear about this messed-up thing.

Despite his fear, Li Xiang mustered his courage and climbed the wall.

He knows his own limitations.

When faced with a rare opportunity to shine, a little risk is absolutely worth taking!

In a world where only strength matters, someone whose talent isn't in combat will never become a leader.

However, the strategists who advise the leader must also hold a high position!

Li Xiang's ambition was to provide Ling Xiao with timely strategic support and act as his "advisor"!

The battlefield was filled with a cacophony of sounds.

But Ling Xiao still clearly heard Li Xiang's warning from not far behind him.

In fact, there's no need to remind them.

Since he himself was not engaged in a fierce battle, he was naturally able to be distracted and aware of the current situation.

Li Xiang's timely reminder had its own ulterior motives.

It is indeed the icing on the cake.

The well-funded [Green Mountain Light] team has made ample preparations for this day.

The combatants had no shortage of weapons or medicine, but the human spirit ultimately needs rest.

Plan Two is an enhanced version of the night watch shift!

They take turns guarding the wall!

After figuring out the intensity of the demonic tide's attack, they didn't actually need so many combat forces on the walls to deal with it.

With top-tier combatants like Ling Xiao in command, they can work in two shifts!

If powerful items such as fire grenades and magic scrolls are used regularly to assist, three shifts can be implemented!

After mentally reviewing the inventory, Ling Xiao felt that even a large consumption wouldn't be a problem!

Money is meant to be earned and spent, isn't it?

You painstakingly saved up for half a day, but you didn't dare to use a single copper coin?

So who did he earn this money for?

Save where you should, spend where you should!

Since manpower is expensive now, we should go all out with the most extravagant tactics in terms of resources!

"Attention all personnel! Execute Plan Three!!"

"Staff on duty, please remain at your posts! Everyone else, please evacuate the perimeter of the perimeter in an orderly manner!!"

"yes!"

"clear!"

……

With the help of lighting, the combatants who were resting on shifts also retreated decisively after unleashing their killing moves, returning to the camp along the steps, where logistics personnel came to take care of them.

The morale of the fighters who remained on the wall was not affected.

After all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should be able to go down and rest soon.

What's more, Brother Xiao didn't leave; he stood at the forefront, holding the line with them!

By the time Plan Three is executed until dawn, it will have cleared out most of the inventory of items such as fire grenades.

The amount of copper coins consumed was not small.

This is Ling Xiao's ideal situation.

Because only two LV20s are needed to hold the line, the other two can get a chance to rest.

If it were the two-shift Project No. 2, not only would the members have to work in tight shifts, but three of the four top combatants would also have to stay on the wall.

Although Hammer Sister is also LV20, why did we call her up here?

Are you offering last-minute preparation?

With Project No. 3 underway, Qi Heng and Ye Zhanqing didn't hesitate and immediately went into a period of rest and recuperation.

Su Jinxi, who had always served as a reserve force, climbed the wall and fought alongside Ling Xiao!

This was the first time he had ever seen archers firing at full power!

Su Jinxi's [Phoenix Dance in the Sky] is highly compatible with ranged weapons such as bows and arrows.

At LV20, its power is not to be underestimated!

Even Ling Xiao, who was standing next to her, was secretly surprised. He had only known that her attack power was not weak, but he never expected that the rapid-fire arrows could achieve such a high attack speed!

This was Su Jinxi's restrained shooting technique. If she were to add all the enhancements, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get close to her for a short time.

If you want a quick victory, you can only try a long-range headshot...

Ling Xiao gently shook his head, banishing the terrible thought.

I don't know when.

"When you see someone, think about how to kill them first" has become his habitual way of thinking.

Look at people, look at monsters.

The first reaction is always where the opponent's weakness might be.

How can we achieve our goal quickly with minimal cost?

Moreover, these "symptoms" show signs of being difficult to control, as seen in Qi Heng's case.

Why would Ling Xiao have ever thought of getting involved with him before?

But after becoming the Dragon Slayer, his fighting spirit would surge every time he sensed the dragon blood within Qi Heng…

This was clearly not right, but I used [Ember's Radiance] to purify myself before going out.

Since there was no "rejection" reaction from the black aura, Ling Xiao simply stopped thinking about it.

Too many lice are not afraid to bite.

There are many abnormalities about him.

This kind of relatively relaxed and controllable situation seems too "normal"!

As his thoughts raced, the minced meat under the wall began to pile up again.

Watching Su Jinxi's high, glossy black ponytail tremble with each bowstring stroke, Ling Xiao suddenly had an idea and said in a deep voice, "You give the order, clean up the same way as before."

Su Jinxi, who had just drawn her bowstring taut, paused slightly upon hearing this, then carefully fired the arrow and shouted, "Explosive reel! Ready!!"

Several combatants glanced at him in surprise during the battle.

The latest novel is first published here!

But they did not hesitate or struggle; they immediately carried out the order.

"Target! A pile of corpses!"

"put!!"

As the scrolls unfurled, the magic circles depicted within them glowed with intense light of various colors, and the resulting fluctuations burst forth after a brief build-up!

The falling demonic tide below exploded into bursts of light and dust!

The abilities of professionals are diverse and each has its own strengths.

While Iron Hammer Sister can conjure up the unconventional technology of "Fire Thunder," there are naturally others who specialize in the mysteries of magic.

Magic scrolls with various special effects have become a major tool for mages to make money!

Even the worst and most common reversal reels are still highly sought-after items that sell out instantly in the trading zone.

Currently, the only guild that treats magic scrolls as strategic resources is [Light of Green Hills].

There's no way around it, money talks!

With ample funds and a good reputation, the top mages in the entire region have established close partnerships with [Green Mountain Light].

As for why they don't just join in?

It's not that Ling Xiao refused to visit the thatched cottage three times.

Having weathered the most difficult initial phase, all the mages who have now become professional players have the capital to be arrogant!

Don't be fooled by their friendly attitude when they were trading with Ling Xiao and the others.

In their own guilds where they hold important positions, or in public channels, not being arrogant is considered a sign of good manners.

The others were also aware of the terror of the mage.

In business, they always have to beg and coax; when it comes to arguments, they don't even dare to say a harsh word.

The most intuitive example.

[Juyitang] This mad dog even dared to bark at Ling Xiao and his gang.

But in the face of the two top-tier mages, [Wolong Housheng] and [Guo Fengxiao], [Xiongtu Baye] didn't even dare to cause trouble.

Weapons like iron spears eventually have substitutes.

The high-quality magic scrolls produced by [Heroic Ambition] can really be a threat if you anger them!

Plant the trees early, and enjoy their shade now.

The help I gave to others in the past is now paying off.

The kind whose value has increased several times over...

Aside from [Heroic Ambition], [Light of Green Hills], which lacks the ability to research and produce its own scrolls, is probably the guild with the most abundant magic scrolls.

By handing over simple instructions to Su Jinxi, Ling Xiao wasn't being lazy; rather, he was taking the opportunity to train the others' command abilities.

As the number of guild members increases, there will naturally be more commanders needed.

We can't let him organize every boss, can we?

Of course, if we want a future, we must first overcome the current difficulties...

"Brother Xiao! News from the channel! Several guilds have been breached!"

"Explain in detail, get to the point!"

Li Xiang swallowed, unsure whether it was the tension of feeling sorry for someone who had lost their rabbit or the excitement of being able to put on a show.

"The demonic tides are not static! They may contain extremely troublesome giant monsters!"

"Several guilds were forced to retreat to their last strongholds because the outer walls of their shelters weren't sturdy enough, and the monsters breached them after just a few attacks!"

"Several groups were unable to prepare and have been completely wiped out. The demonic tide had nowhere to escape, and although their members fought desperately, they were all killed in the end."

"They only issued a final distress call and warning, reminding us to be careful of those giants, even if they were mentally unstable, they could still cause problems if they crashed into us..."

"The troll you're talking about, is it that kind?"

Ling Xiao suddenly spoke, interrupting Li Xiang's clear and swift report.

The latter paused, looking into the distance following Ling Xiao's outstretched finger.

His expression froze instantly, and his face turned deathly pale.

"Yes...yes! It seems like it, no! It's definitely one of those giant monsters that can smash through walls!"

The sticky sweat on Li Xiang's forehead suddenly turned cold.

The approaching, swaying behemoth seemed to pound on his heart with its painful steps.

"God……"

A desperate wail escaped his throat.

"Are we really that unlucky...? Why did it have to happen to us...?"

"Shut up!"

Ling Xiao's loud shout silenced Li Xiang's timid mutterings and also jolted the combat personnel who had also noticed the anomaly and were somewhat panicked.

"Attention all personnel! Level 1 alert!!"

The people who were still resting in the camp responded and started moving.

Although the reason is unknown, it is enough to make the usually steady and reliable Brother Xiao issue the order of "Level 1 Alert".

This trouble is no simple matter!

As they rushed up the wall, they saw a huge, dark shadow getting closer and closer.

The doubt in my heart immediately turned into fear.

The inevitable human tendency is causing the morale of [Light of Green Hills] to plummet.

During their break, they naturally saw the messages on the channel.

The devastation of other guild shelters being breached was a chilling sight.

But now, it seems this damned fate has found its way to them!?

The scythe of death draws ever closer.

No one can remain absolutely rational in the face of such an urgent threat.

But the commander must remain rational!

"Xiao, I'll go."

Qi Heng would only call someone by a single word, without even using the word "brother," when he was being most serious and when it was most important.

"Don't rush to grab it! Looks like two of them are about to crash into us. Neither of us will escape!"

Ling Xiao joked with a smile, but his tone was full of heavy killing intent.

"Our walls should be the thickest, but we can't gamble on them! So we must not let them attack the city."

"In the past, even getting close was forbidden in case of emergency!"

He ordered in a deep voice, "From now on, Chairman Ye will be in command!"

"No one should panic! No one may leave their post until we are defeated!!"

"But, in the unlikely event that Dao-ge and I fail to hold off those two giant monsters, don't waste time! And absolutely do not come out to rescue us!"

"Immediately! Abandon the walls! Move to the underground cave! Seal the entrance if necessary!!"

"This is an order!!"

Everyone was silent, but the somber atmosphere firmly imprinted Ling Xiao's will in their hearts.

After handing over command, Ling Xiao seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden he had been carrying.

A sharp and intense spirit rose from his straight spine!

Shelters are a shield for survivors.

When the troll destroys the city wall, it will definitely be met with a full-scale attack from the guild.

In the end, however, humanity was defeated.

That means that the defense, or rather the combat power, of these giants is comparable to or even surpasses the entire guild's desperate counterattack.

Such an opponent, such a challenge.

Ling Xiao hasn't been seen for a long time...

But he simply smiled casually at Qi Heng: "Same as always, you choose first?"

"Damn it! You go left, I'll go right!"

Qi Heng showed no sign of worry, and grinned without any hint of disappointment, exclaiming, "Let's have a contest! Who will finish off their opponent first?!"

"The left side? Just what I wanted!"

After loosening his muscles and bones, Ling Xiao tilted his head back and gulped down the fiery liquor that hit his mouth.

"In the end... I still prefer violent criticism!"
