Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 152, Section 151: Frosty Heart! Spear of Extreme Cold!

"Heh...heh!"

At the end of the mess of broken ice, a figure shook its head and got up.

Ling Xiao intended to test his skills with this sword.

Therefore, there was no sign of him holding back.

Even though the horrific gash that stretched from its shoulder to its side was cleaved by that magnificent blade, the Frost Troll's powerful vitality still allowed it to stand firmly.

Moreover, thanks to the effects of the troll bloodline, the wounds have begun to heal.

However, it seemed as if something inside was resisting it, greatly slowing down the recovery speed.

The Frost Troll had never suffered such severe injuries.

Its two icy blue eyes stared intently at Ling Xiao, their color subtly tinged with a reddish purple.

Despite feeling a sense of impending danger, Ling Xiao remained completely unafraid.

He's killed way too many monsters...

Which person hasn't shown that look in their eyes before they die?

"roar!!!"

After suffering severe injuries, the deepest, most savage and bestial nature within the Frost Troll bloodline was activated.

As the ancient races that emerged from ignorance and evolved intelligence grew stronger, they did not completely rid themselves of the inherent flaws in their bloodline.

That's their last resort, their last desperate measure to survive until now.

When life is in danger, intelligence and evolution become irrelevant.

If the only way to win a final chance of survival is to burn the deepest ferocity in one's bloodline, so what if one is reduced to a bloodthirsty monster who only knows how to kill again!?

Survival is everything!

After the gods abandoned this land, the abyss descended...

The eternal, hopeless apocalypse has begun...

These races... can only rely on themselves!

Both sides, struggling to survive, turned against each other without knowing it!

The Frost Troll awakened a trace of ferocity left by its ancestors.

That was the blood and courage that once fought against heaven and earth and battled against countless powerful gods!

talent?

Skill?

It has mastered all of these techniques and made them instinctive!

The Frost Troll, fighting to the death, didn't employ any fancy tactics.

Its fur stood on end, as if a real chill surrounded it.

Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately began their charge!

Incidentally, he broke a thick, long icicle.

Ignoring the blood splattering from his chest, the Frost Troll simply wrapped his arms around the ice pillars, turning them into weapons, and charged towards Ling Xiao!

now.

Even if Ling Xiao doesn't use his ultimate move, [Dimensional Fission], the best course of action would be to temporarily avoid a direct confrontation.

Even if Park Seok and his team were facing this situation, they could tell at a glance that the troll was burning its last drop of blood.

Their combat power is soaring, but it's absolutely impossible for it to last!

As long as you avoid the intimidatingly powerful impact, you can easily outmaneuver this guy and die without getting hurt by carefully flying a kite around!

How could Ling Xiao, who had experienced countless battles, not understand?

With his speed and agility, he could even stop every now and then to tease the troll.

But he simply didn't want to hide.

He had been harboring resentment for a long time.

Now, coming to this bizarre game, I can actually vent my frustrations by fighting against monsters!

Especially the hard-hitting, head-on collisions.

It might seem silly to outsiders.

It really is stupid.

But Ling Xiao just liked this feeling.

He'd be happy to engage in an extremely bloody brawl, even if it meant getting hurt, as long as it was safe!

Ling Xiao sometimes really wonders if he's been indulging in "painful pleasure" for too long, to the point that his mind has become distorted...

"Good timing!!"

Looking at the thick, long ice pillar that crashed down with the fierce wind, a look of pleasure flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes!

He let out a low shout and charged forward again, his long sword trembling and slashing out three times in succession!

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The front of the icicle shattered into pieces, as if a giant, ornately carved blade was slicing away its ferocity in sections!

The Frost Troll roared, and a solid layer of ice, tinged with dark blood, sprouted from its body.

It transformed itself into its final weapon.

I wanted to smash this damned rat in front of me like a cannonball!

bass--

The blade resonated with a persistent, deep hum.

The two passed each other.

Ling Xiao flicked his wrist, shaking off the blood droplets remaining on the Iron Heart Blade.

Behind him, the Frost Troll's massive body cracked helplessly.

It tried its best to let out a painful and unwilling wail.

But the neck, split diagonally in two, no longer allowed it.

The mangled corpse collapsed with a thud.

The murderous intent in Ling Xiao's heart was surging uncontrollably, so he simply swung his sword.

The scorching heat surged forth.

The chilling aura, now devoid of the troll's dominance, was completely eradicated.

The icicles also wailed and broke in the sea of ​​fire, eventually shattering into countless ice blocks of all sizes scattered across the ground.

The extremely cold underground cave was suddenly cleared.

Congratulations on successfully defeating the 'Mutant - Frost Troll'!

[Your experience level has reached the upgrade requirement!]

[Level upgraded to LV22! +1 free attribute point!]

[Talent plundering in progress... Current success rate 64.1%...]

[Plunder successful! Talent - [Frostheart (Excellent)] equipped!]

Luck is neither good nor bad.

The most desired limited talent was not revealed.

But this unexpected surprise is not bad either.

【Frosty Heart (Fine): Enhanced effects and reduced resource consumption for ice-attribute talents and skills; reduced ice-attribute damage and negative effects】

After being devoured, it becomes [Excellent] level.

It is clear that although this troll is not of a high level, its actual combat strength is definitely no weaker than those BOSSes.

Ling Xiao currently doesn't have any ice-attribute skills or talents.

Aside from [Frosty Heart], there's only one other [Cold Activity] related to the ice attribute.

However, the "Thousand Miles of Frozen Land" version will last for two months.

It is foreseeable that you will encounter quite a few ice-attribute monsters in the future.

In the [Rainfall Torrent] version, Lingxiao can selectively cultivate two talent trees after absorbing talents.

Ultimately, they are all elemental systems.

However, the [Blazing Domain] and [Azure Wave Domain] that ultimately converge are absolutely the top-tier "authorities" at present!

This gave Ling Xiao, who was establishing a talent system for the first time, a taste of success.

Previously, his talents came from a variety of sources and were scattered.

The most useful ones are still the Filthy Seed talents obtained from zombie-like monsters such as Tyrants.

Both [Endless Fury] and [Execution Declaration] greatly enhance his combat power!

But it also caused Ling Xiao some trouble.

[The Heart of a Glutton] Only cares about eating and digesting; Lingxiao bears all the residual poison hidden in the "delicious food".

If he hadn't discovered it by chance and then used the Ember of Light to remove the pollution, which wasn't yet deeply entrenched, it would have been a different story.

Ling Xiao has probably already undergone a drastic change in temperament under the influence of these talents, becoming bloodthirsty and murderous, and even losing most of his self-awareness.

From then on, he developed a habit.

After consuming a talent, especially after adding it to your talent bar, be sure to take the time to "disinfect" it as soon as possible!

Fortunately, although this Frost Troll seems insane, its Frostheart is still clean.

Moreover, in a corner on the inner side of the cave, Ling Xiao also discovered a patch of green.

[LV20 Excellent Treasure Chest (Infused with spiritual power to open...)]

[Content: To be opened ???]

Unexpectedly!

did not expect!

Ling Xiao hadn't seen a treasure chest in a long time, and he didn't know if it was because he was unlucky or if the system was secretly suppressing him.

Sometimes you see lucky people in the channel who don't even have to fight monsters; they just trip over treasure chests while walking down the street.

Looking at the smug faces of these lucky guys, Ling Xiao really wanted to express his jealousy.

But in the end, out of respect for the top-ranked person, he could only maintain his aloof persona and remain quietly in the shadows.

Has your luck finally turned around?

After checking that the surrounding area had been cleared and there were no lurking monsters, it was completely safe.

Ling Xiao rubbed his hands together, hummed a cheerful tune, and then touched the area.

As the spiritual energy filled the chest, it creaked open!

【Windwalker Boots (Excellent)】

[Spear of Arctic Cold (Excellent)]

[A fragmented ancient map *1]

【Fir Spirit Wood (Common) *35】

……

There's quite a lot of stuff.

But in Ling Xiao's eyes, only the first three items are truly valuable.

The latest novel is first published here!

But the same old saying still applies: be content with what you have!

"Contentment brings happiness, contentment brings happiness, Brother Xiao!"

Qi Heng excitedly shook Ling Xiao, holding the Windwalker Boots in his hand and looking them up and down, clearly very pleased with them.

"Alright, just take a look and give it back to me."

"ah!?"

Qi Heng looked at him incredulously, "Isn't what's yours mine? Are you trying to distance yourself from me now?!"

"You've changed, Brother Xiao, you've really changed..."

Qi Heng's face showed pain, and he said sadly, "It must be a woman! It must be some wild woman who has bewitched you and made you lose your mind!"

Before he could continue wailing, Ling Xiao cured him with an impatient growl.

"If you bark again, I'll kick you!"

The medicine cured the disease.

Qi Heng immediately resumed his smiling expression.

"I understand, I understand!"

"After all, that Windrunner Hunting Bow actually came from my hands!"

"Jinxi has been working tirelessly, doing a great job and putting in tremendous effort! Please convey our regards and best wishes to her!"

"Say some comforting words, coax her a bit, maybe..."

"What are you talking about! Neither of us has ever been in a relationship before, growing up together!"

Ling Xiao retorted irritably, without saying much more, and simply sent the Windwalker Boots back.

"Ugh!"

Such a straightforward approach left Qi Heng, who was excitedly preparing to teach from the sidelines, frustrated and exasperated.

They dismissed the onlookers.

Ling Xiao did not return to the team to rest.

Although he has just gone through a major battle, his overall strength now far exceeds the appearance of his level.

This ice troll can cause great trouble for other Tier 2 explorers, but in front of him, it's just a punching bag that's a bit more durable.

That's not enough...

The Niu Niu car team set off again.

This primitive mode of transportation is not only extremely durable, but also requires only a handful of grass to travel 100 kilometers.

To take it to an extreme.

If they can't walk anymore, you can slaughter them and eat their meat.

If you encounter a suitable monster, you can even change your "mode of transportation" halfway through the journey.

It's incredibly practical!

Other guilds may have their own methods, but none seem to match the ease and skill of [Green Mountain Light].

The announcement of "A Thousand Miles of Frozen Land" clearly states that if people want to survive, they must migrate south as soon as possible.

But some stubborn kids still didn't believe it.

Or maybe you think it’s okay to stay a few more days.

It would be such a waste to leave in a hurry after finally figuring out the surrounding resources.

The result was a heavy snowfall overnight, coupled with a rapid drop in temperature.

The number of survivors decreased significantly.

This was the result of [Light of Green Hills] joining forces with several lawful faction guilds to urge others to act as soon as possible.

The only lesson we can learn from history is that we learn nothing from history!

There will always be people who take chances, and there will always be people who become arrogant after achieving a little success.

Those who can no longer move have no chance to regret it.

Without adequate supplies or early planning, some even died of hypothermia in their sleep.

Faced with absolute natural disasters.

Even after awakening, explorers who are not prepared in time will face a near-death experience!

Any time.

If you think that having a profession and having refined your talents will allow you to treat natural disasters as child's play, then you've truly already set yourself on the path to destruction...

Ling Xiao pulled a stiff arm out of the snowdrift.

A small, thin female corpse, dressed in thin clothing, appeared before him in a curled-up position.

Another poor soul who couldn't find a place to belong after a major regional reorganization.

Even if they had money, they couldn't afford the exorbitantly priced winter supplies currently available on the market.

【Green Mountain Light】 has to rush to prepare supplies, and other guilds are in even greater need!

There are still winter supplies on the market, not because merchants are holding out for higher prices.

They originally intended to take advantage of the situation to make a fortune.

The reason we're not selling is because the people who want to buy it simply can't afford it!

The exorbitant prices and scarce resources are clearly designed to fleece large guilds that are unprepared!

What should these lone wolf players do?

Nobody cares, and nobody can care.

In the end, they could only freeze to death...

Ling Xiao looked at the pretty girl and the smile that appeared on her face before she died.

in silence.

A spark of anger rekindled within him, but he could only suppress it for the time being.

When one achieves success, one should benefit all under heaven...

He's truly at his wit's end right now...

Shake away the snow and melt the ice.

Ling Xiao dug a hole and buried him simply.

No monument was erected.

Because there's not much to say.

In the end, only a single ice spear materialized and was stuck in the grave as a marker.

So that the convoy behind could avoid it when passing by, and at the same time know that this is the place where that poor man was buried.

"call……"

Ling Xiao continued forward, casting aside distracting thoughts, and practiced his newly acquired ice-attribute skills.

【Spear of Extreme Cold】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Conditions: Spirit, Constitution, and Mental Ability all reach 20; Level reaches LV20; Consumes 10 points of Spirit Power or 1% of Spirit Power; The former has a fixed cooldown of three seconds, while the latter does not enter a cooldown period.]

[Special Effect: Condenses into a spear made of extremely cold ice crystals, dealing high ice damage to targets in a straight line in front; the ice spear has a 20% chance to shatter upon impact, dealing splash damage again; when 1% of spirit power is consumed, the shattering chance increases to 50%]

[Review: Feel the power of extreme cold! Ice spears will pierce your defenses and freeze your soul!]

anyway.

This is probably the most common attack skill that Ling Xiao has acquired.

There are no fancy special effects, just simple ice spear throwing.

To achieve the "Excellent" quality, it must have considerable power and low consumption, along with the characteristics of no cooling and no splashing.

In the hands of others, this [Spear of Arctic Cold] may just be an attack skill with good cost-effectiveness.

However, with the blessing of Lingxiao's [Frosty Heart], the power contained in the Ice Spear is definitely beyond that of ordinary fine skills!

The ice-type talent tree is beginning to emerge!

Just as he was feeling frustrated, Ling Xiao suddenly focused his attention on a few black dots in the distance!

Well known.

For long-range attacks, the two most important factors are power and range!

Ling Xiao raised his arm and channeled his energy, causing spiritual power, imbued with cold air, to condense into a form in his hand!
