Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 14: Annihilation

"Aww!"

The hoarse, piercing howl reverberated in concentric circles, like tangible ripples.

Faced with the Soul Badger's signature move unleashed once again, Ling Xiao was much more composed this time.

With his feet firmly planted, his soul's resistance helped him transform into a "stubborn rock in the water," allowing him to stand firm amidst the surging waves.

They could even go even further!

Soul Badgers need to concentrate to activate Soul Impact, during which time they are unable to move.

This is the most dangerous moment, but it is also the most vulnerable time for the Soul Badger.

Previously, Ling Xiao took the initiative and killed one of the badgers, but was then surrounded and attacked. In the midst of the danger, he used his Flame Fist to kill four of them. This was because he took advantage of the fact that two of the Soul Badgers used their skills to control the badgers, and the remaining four pounced on him and started to bite.

These beasts thought the humans in front of them had lost their ability to resist, so they couldn't wait to tear off fresh flesh and blood and feast on it.

The result was that four streaks of firework lit up in the blink of an eye, shattering their excited expectations and also smashing their skulls.

He didn't interrupt or have a chance to interfere with the two Soul Badgers "casting spells" behind him.

It took the full impact of the soul attacks from level 2 and level 3 Soul Badgers, which caused its spirit attribute to temporarily decrease by 1 point.

When the threat of wild beasts' claws and teeth diminishes, the balance of power should shift!

Bearing the endless impact, Ling Xiao moved with lightning speed, directly stepping in front of the Soul Badger, raising his machete high.

The fierce momentum of the blue flames faltered momentarily.

The Soul Badger seemed to realize something was wrong only then, but it was too late!

Before it could raise its head, its body suddenly trembled.

The head rolled off, and the blood gushing from the chest cavity traced a parabolic arc before slumping onto the ground.

The soul impact that had been present since Ling Xiao's appearance suddenly disappeared.

Seeing that its last brother had also fallen victim to the evil, the level 3 Soul Badger's little eyes widened in surprise, but unexpectedly it turned and ran away.

There was not a trace of anger or a desire to seek revenge at all costs.

Ling Xiao's purpose in coming here was to completely eradicate this nest of Soul Badgers, so how could he let them escape?

In just a few steps, he trampled the highest-level Soul Badger under his feet.

Ling Xiao, immune to most of the soul's impact, is like a berserker who can withstand a mage's control skills and then frantically rush towards them with a strange scream.

Unfortunately, this Soul Badger wasn't a high-level unit, nor was it an elite unit. Moreover, it followed the path of a fragile mage, making its body truly "delicate" and extremely weak.

The two actors, when they put themselves in their roles, were remarkably similar!

The outcome after getting close is self-evident.

splat—

The hiking boot slammed into the ground, and the toe of the boot instantly shattered into a bloody pulp.

Congratulations on successfully defeating the 'Mutant - Soul Badger'!

[Talent plundering in progress... Current success rate 98.2%...]

[Plunder successful! Talent - [Soul Resistance (Inferior)] is ready!]

[The Heart of Gluttony] absorbs trace amounts of nutrients, resulting in a slight improvement in quality!

The two identical prompts were ignored.

The experience bar has increased to level 3 (27%).

It seems that to level up, I need to hunt at least nine more level 3 monsters.

The experience gained after a victory in battle is difficult to predict because various factors such as the level difference between the two sides, their respective status, methods, and external forces can all affect the final experience gained.

Taking the Soul Badger of the same level as him as an example, the experience gained from killing it with bare hands is definitely more than the experience gained from blowing it up with a grenade from the shop.

Although they took different paths, they both aimed to kill each other.

However, differences in methods will inevitably lead to differences in rewards.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao had an extra benefit that guaranteed him a good harvest regardless of drought or flood. Including the two talents he successfully plundered, his [Soul Resistance] had accumulated to four layers!

The gray lettering was faintly glowing, revealing a silvery-white background.

This is a sign that a breakthrough is imminent!

Ling Xiao, as the owner, was well aware that the current quality of [Soul Resistance] had reached its peak, reaching a bottleneck that could not be improved and could only be broken through.

The reason why the "broken but not broken" step was left as the last step is because it is itself a derivative product.

If the Gluttonous Heart, which is an innate talent, is still of "inferior quality", how can its derivatives break through to the next stage - "ordinary"?

"You are what you eat; it seems the energy transfer efficiency of the same species is indeed higher! Will I encounter other Gluttonous Hearts in the future? What would happen if I devoured them...?"

As a hypothetical scenario flashed through his mind, Ling Xiao realized the enormous hidden benefits and, unable to resist following along, arrived at a conclusion that sent chills down his spine.

"The Gluttonous Heart has never been claimed to be my unique innate talent. Naturally, it could appear on someone else's character panel. If I encounter it in the future, will I have to plunder it from their corpses?"

Will he kill someone...?

They're going to kill someone...

When Ling Xiao spoke to advise that hot-tempered guy, he had similar thoughts, but he later became engrossed in his career, and the monsters did indeed put him under great pressure, so he temporarily put them aside.

Once a terrible thought arises, it can never be shaken off.

The latest novel is first published here!

After all, even Ling Xiao himself couldn't guarantee whether he could resist his greed. Putting himself in their shoes, could those people really hold onto their principles?

Once the survivors start fighting, can those of us who are more or less infected by bloodthirsty thoughts control ourselves?

People who are good are bullied by others, and horses who are good are ridden by others.

Ling Xiao has already suffered enough!

Every decision he makes now is a matter of life and death. He no longer wants to be bound by so-called "morality" and end up dying in another world!

Your own knife may not kill, but it cannot be incapable of killing!

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Ling Xiao, having firmly established his resolve, felt that the brief internal struggle was even more unsettling than the bloody battle itself.

Fortunately, a single thought arose in my mind, and I suddenly felt the world expand before me.

"I'll offer help within my capacity, however I feel like it... but my own safety is paramount!"

After collecting the two Soul Badger corpses, Ling Xiao, in a good mood, strode towards a black rock about half a person's height.

Upon his first encounter with this group of Soul Badgers, he fought fiercely and fled in a sorry state. The good thing about the map was that it only marked the information and did not record the battle report.

Otherwise, if you look back in the future, you'll find a record of how you were beaten up by a group of monsters with an average level 2 on one of your days, and they chased you for a long distance. It's an indelible piece of dark history!

They sneaked back to this place again.

Ling Xiao's motivation wasn't just revenge, but also profit.

These two badgers are just the icing on the cake, the real treasure, if the map is right, should be behind this rock!

The gray fog was dispelled by torches, but Lingxiao's naked eye could not see through the black stone, and the battle entered a fierce stage as soon as it began.

So, in that fleeting glimpse, he only vaguely saw a green hue and had no idea what it was.

When he returned and reviewed the intelligence, he saw that the thing had clearly appeared on the map!

The icon looks a bit like a treasure chest, and it's green!

But it's also a bit "dilapidated," with irregular pieces missing from all four corners, which I don't know if it's a characteristic of green treasure chests.

Soon, the answer was revealed.

Ling Xiao arrived at the back of the black stone, where dozens of tiny, bean sprout-like, and about 20 to 30 centimeters tall, dark blue "chives" were growing.

He didn't even have time to use his appraisal skill, because the treasure chest right next to the stone stole all his attention.

[Level 3 Excellent Treasure Chest (Damaged)]

[Activation Requirements: Spirituality reaches 4, Spirit reaches 5; Inject 40 points of spiritual power; ? ? Conditions have been abolished]

【content:???】

Looking at the exquisite treasure chest, now only half intact and with the lid nowhere to be found, Ling Xiao felt a mix of surprise and heartache.

"So you're letting these puppies use it as a chew toy?! Look at how badly they've chewed on it!"

"How many copper coins would it be worth if it were intact?!"

"Blanch!!"
