Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 156, page 155: Superpowers at Will, Handcrafted Experience Pools

The leader was killed in a single encounter.

The remaining Frostwolf were momentarily at a loss!

But Ling Xiao wouldn't give them much time to dawdle. With a sweep of his blade, large swaths of blood mist ripped through the frost wolves, who didn't even have time to escape before being hacked to pieces.

Amidst this mowing-down slaughter, Ling Xiao suddenly sensed the unusual activity of the [Deep Sea Sacrifice Book]!

This sealed artifact from the Homecoming is considered an inherent part of his [Deep Sea Royal Family] bloodline.

The two complement each other perfectly, and when combined, they can unleash tremendous power!

If I were still in the Dark Sea, my combat power would soar so much that I might be able to hold my own against a level 30 enemy!

Even after returning to the mortal world, Ling Xiao had no doubt about their power.

The reason it is kept on the shelf and not used is that.

It was pure fear.

He was genuinely afraid.

Behind the immense power lies the gaze of something indescribable.

Ling Xiao will never use them again unless absolutely necessary!

Even though both the [Deep Sea Ritual Book] and the [Deep Sea Royal Family] can instantly boost his combat power.

But the price is that after driving away one tiger to devour another, they will be targeted by even more ferocious beasts, and the outcome will most likely be worse than being reduced to ashes!

Even the [Radiant Emblem], which is also a sealed item, seems to have no negative effects.

Ling Xiao dared not use them easily, keeping them locked in his equipment inventory.

Qi Heng, who was lucky enough to control a sealed artifact, might have had a problem explode at any time if the proprietress of the City of Desire hadn't helped him remove the hidden danger.

Ling Xiao's current strength, while not necessarily the absolute best, is certainly sufficient.

He really didn't want to come into contact with the sealing artifact, which was very effective but also carried great risks, unless absolutely necessary.

But right now.

The [Deep Sea Ritual Book], which had been sitting in the equipment slot, was triggered by something.

Ling Xiao stopped his killing spree and focused intently on it.

Fortunately, this thing didn't activate on its own; the strange fluctuations disappeared after a while.

Coming to his senses, Ling Xiao looked around again.

The remaining frost wolves, upon discovering that this menacing figure had suddenly stopped, did not dare to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and all disappeared without a trace.

However, in Lingxiao's spatial perception, they simply hid in the distance, waiting for the "leader" to come and get revenge.

Meanwhile, the Demon Nest acted swiftly as well.

Three Frostwolf leaders, along with a large number of their minions, had already surrounded them.

Looking inward, my condition is not bad.

Despite having reached level 24, Ling Xiao still had more than half of his physical and spiritual energy remaining.

The Overlord Blade has consumed a considerable amount of energy.

However, with the continuous effect of [Grinding Teeth and Sucking Blood], Ling Xiao's body recovered extremely quickly without any injuries.

I did a quick assessment of the strength of both sides.

Ling Xiao also didn't plan to leave.

He took out the brewing bottle, drank two sips, and then went to greet them again!

"Aww!!"

This howl was filled with rage and murderous intent!

This demon's lair isn't very large, with only about five hundred frost wolves in total, including over seventy elite wolves and eight boss monsters.

The number of people who died at Ling Xiao's hands was enough to cripple the entire family.

These three were just the first to arrive; the rest of the wolf cubs and offspring had already been scattered.

If no other intruders are found, the remaining Frostwolf leaders, except for the two left to guard the lair, will bring all the rest of their forces to the area!

They're not stupid either.

It won't be a rigid "Calabash Brothers save Grandpa" story; it will give Ling Xiao the opportunity to defeat them one by one!

The three Frostwolf leaders, working together, are fully capable of confronting the invaders head-on!

Click, click—

The outer protective aura and the surging, icy breath were locked in a tug-of-war.

Ling Xiao can outlast his opponent, but that's clearly not a wise choice right now.

Because their enemies are not only the three-headed boss monster, while the other monsters are not very powerful, their levels are not much different.

With their basic attributes not being weak, the encirclement and subsequent numerical superiority had already caused Ling Xiao some trouble.

A cold mist rose up, and ice shards flew everywhere!

Ling Xiao's figure was already shrouded in a white, icy mist.

Their aggressive, domineering manner when they charged in was a far cry from their initial arrogance and domineering presence.

The frost wolves relentlessly attacked, employing only two skills: one for long-range attacks and one for close-range attacks.

The two leader monsters, along with their minions, engaged in close combat, allowing the remaining Frostwolf leader to unleash a breath attack from its surrounding kin!

The monsters didn't have any particularly sophisticated or ingenious teamwork; they just used simple methods combined with wild madness!

Ling Xiao was surrounded by enemies from all directions!

Before they could even land for a second, several frost wolves would pounce on them!

There was pressure, and you could even smell the threat of death!

But this "dangerous situation" is actually a "training ground" he deliberately created!

It's really hard to find so many sparring partners who don't have to worry about wear and tear!

Combat experience is a never-ending journey.

In particular, the hidden class "Monster Hunter" allows for rapid improvement in high-intensity combat, whether it's "Weapon Master" or "Weakness Strike".

The former has already made Ling Xiao's use of the single-edged sword as natural as his own arm, and his strikes are fast, accurate, and ruthless!

There was no trace of the awkwardness he felt when he first transmigrated and couldn't even land a single blow. Instead, the latter would help Ling Xiao "get used to" the Frost Wolf monster during battle.

The more he knows, the faster he'll kill!

Realizing that he had exhausted more than half of his strength, Ling Xiao decisively changed his tactics and decided to break through!

That's about it...

In just a short while, even with three leader monsters holding the line, he had already killed dozens of Frostwolf wolves...

The [Sky Raider], with a potential rating of S+, has an even thicker experience bar than the previous [Dimensional Explorer]!

The sheer number of kills required to reach LV30 by sheer quantity is unimaginable.

However, Ling Xiao had a good mindset and was not in a hurry.

Such demanding upgrade experience is in line with the high potential of a profession!

Otherwise, he would have to wonder if he had awakened a freakish being.

But for now... we have to retreat...

Four more leader monsters are rushing in from all directions. If Ling Xiao is surrounded, he will have to pay a certain price to break through.

His entire aura changed instantly!

The already powerful internal energy surged even more!

The icy breath that had been gradually suppressing the crimson aura immediately collapsed under this unexpected change!

Before Frostwolf could regroup, Lingxiao stirred up the violent air currents that had been prepared long ago.

In the previous battles, he used the wind to move around, not to attack.

In just a few minutes, Ling Xiao had already accumulated a large amount of wind-like energy around his body!

The moment he decided to break away, the wind gathered on the blade at his command.

As it swirls around the blade, it generates layers upon layers of wind blades!

Along with Lingxiao's inner energy, it was drawn into a concentrated tornado by this powerful suction force!

His figure was hidden within, riding the storm as he charged eastward!

The frost wolves naturally realized that the intruders wanted to escape.

It can't be that easy!

The stench of blood from the dead and wounded has completely unleashed their ferocity!

These monsters showed no fear in the face of the unstoppable fire and wind tornadoes; instead, they charged headlong into them.

Using itself as a weak wall, it only hoped to block Ling Xiao's path.

Their heroic, moth-to-a-flame-like actions did indeed gradually slow down the figure.

The Frostwolf leader certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Despite their numerical advantage, Lingxiao managed to inflict bloody wounds on all three of them by defeating them outnumbered!

Now that the other side wants to run away, how could they possibly let it go?

The two frost wolf leaders that were closest immediately pounced on the man's back!

Erlang could even feel the sharp teeth biting open the back of the neck, crushing the bones and blood vessels inside!

But an unexpected event occurred!

Lingxiao gradually slowed down, partly because the Frostwolf men risked their lives to delay him, but more so because of his own plan.

If he truly wanted to escape immediately, the best option wouldn't be to use the Gale Shadowless Sword.

Does that mean he only knows this one move, and everything else is just for show?

Under the influence of [Supernatural Affinity], Ling Xiao is now able to simultaneously master completely different talents and abilities in a very short time.

This professional skill transformed his combat power from a single "point" into a "surface"!

The coordination of one's own abilities.

From the talent tree with similar attributes, it has extended to all sorts of ingenious ideas with different abilities!

For example, when breaking through, activate [King's Bloodline] and simultaneously activate [Earthquake Tremor].

Although the imitation gained through killing won't last long, combined with this "earthquake" divine skill, he could completely paralyze all the Frostwolf on the scene.

This is what makes the [Heart of Gluttony] truly terrifying!

Countless talents can be combined to create countless ways to use them!

As long as Ling Xiao has a big enough imagination, he can slowly outmaneuver his enemies even without using any other abilities!

But right now, he really needs to break through.

However, before a real breakout can be achieved, the enemy's plans must be disrupted.

Killing more ordinary frost wolves won't have a decisive effect in the short term.

We still need to kill the leader!

The latest novel is first published here!

The first two to catch up were Ling Xiao's real targets!

"Aww..."

The excited howl trailed off in a strange tone.

Taking advantage of the light and flames released by the explosion of the protective energy, the shadows formed around him exceeded Ling Xiao's expectations.

Without the slightest hesitation.

He simply shrank and disappeared into the shadows.

When he reappeared, Ling Xiao was already under the belly of a frost wolf leader.

The latter was running forward excitedly, its speed so great that the suddenly appearing blade took advantage of the speed difference to slash its abdomen open.

After running a couple more steps, the Frostwolf leader could no longer utter anything, and staggered to the ground with a bewildered and pained expression.

The wolves howled in alarm and anger all around, but Ling Xiao's figure had already vanished.

He let several frost wolves pounce on his spot, but apart from their scent, nothing else remained...

……

To the east of the Demon Nest, Lingxiao silently emerged as if crawling out of a two-dimensional plane.

Several sharp-eyed frost wolves spotted a figure in the distance, but before they could howl to warn their companions, the person had already run off into the distance and disappeared into the vast white snow in moments.

As Ling Xiao ran, he used [Ember Radiance] to cleanse himself of the bloody stench and any possible traces of his presence.

This talent, obtained from the embers of the gods, is an essential item for home life, travel, murder, and arson!

Without it, Ling Xiao's confidence would be halved.

The status is actually well preserved.

However, just in case, Ling Xiao would never push himself to the limit in such an operation.

Who knows what kind of boss might suddenly appear out of nowhere?

You can never kill all the monsters.

You only have one life, so you must take good care of it...

……

That's about it.

As Ling Xiao explained, he drew the terrain around the Frostwolf's den.

It's relatively flat, but it's still necessary to mark a few points.

"The battle plan remains the same. While it's still early and we have time to wear each other down, Brother Dao and I will go one more time."

"Try to reduce the number of boss monsters and elite monsters to a safe level, then the remaining smaller monsters will be no problem."

"Brother Xiao,"

Hammer Girl enthusiastically raised her hand and asked, "Do you need me to make any specific items? After all, there seem to be quite a few monsters in this group!"

After a moment's thought, Ling Xiao declined, saying, "No need. The Frost Wolves aren't anything special. The Fire Thunderbolts from before are enough to replenish everyone's equipment."

"The main issue is the blueprints for cold-weather gear. We need to reduce the cost as soon as possible so that we can help others make a living."

"Don't worry! We've got a lead! Leave it to me!"

Iron Hammer Sister patted Little Lotus's budding chest and confidently accepted the task.

The fact that 【Green Mountain Light】 is doing well doesn't mean other guilds can have it so easy.

There are also differences between top-tier combatants.

Although it may seem like only a few places are different, the difference in strength between Ling Xiao and Qi Heng and the others has reached a crushing level, as can be seen from the death of that female assassin.

Ling Xiao, who didn't pay much attention to the Top 100 list, only found out later that the Lone Wolf Assassin had actually squeezed into the top ten after being assigned to District 6103!

It even reached the fifth level!

Even so, she still died at the hands of [Owl].

Aside from startling Ling Xiao, it didn't cause any real harm.

Not that he is arrogant.

Rather, it has been proven that his combined strength now far surpasses that of others (except for Qi Heng).

The invitations he received from other guilds were almost always new and varied.

The reason is also very simple.

In this bizarre world, strength is the greatest source of confidence.

Only the strongest can obtain good resources, which in turn can fuel their continued development. Once they become stronger, they can then explore for even better resources...

As long as one doesn't die, the strong will always be strong.

The trend of the version becoming more difficult is obvious to anyone with eyes to see, but the skill level really can't keep up.

Many players are already struggling to cope with the updated monsters.

Survival is a problem, so how can they acquire enough resources?

【Green Mountain Light】, led by the top two on the leaderboard, used the Demon Tide Descent Point as a monster spawner.

Everyone else was so envious they were practically drooling with envy!

Who says you hate your boss?

Having a leader like [Xiao] is fantastic!

But I just never had the chance...

Ling Xiao was also helpless about this.

He wanted to help more people survive, but his abilities were limited and people's hearts were unpredictable, so he was powerless to do so!

Ling Xiao didn't think he had the same selfless dedication as the Virgin Mary, so he had to ensure his own supply before offering help.

The top two on the leaderboard acted swiftly.

After their second-stage awakening, Ling Xiao and Qi Heng's strength far surpassed their previous levels before their promotion.

Dealing with these rather mediocre monsters, the two of them worked together efficiently, resulting in a surprisingly easy and enjoyable experience!

Give them some time, and the two of them can slaughter this litter of wolf cubs!

However, it is an S-class profession.

These low-level, low-quality monsters are really just a drop in the ocean.

After the boss monster was completely wiped out, the remaining wolf pack became a rare experience pool for [Light of Green Hills].

"Send them a message."

Ling Xiao kicked away a huge wolf head, not caring at all about the cruel scene of blood and gore, and simply took out a bottle of brewing essence to moisten his throat.

He let out a long sigh and chuckled softly, "The feast is ready, let's eat!"

Not long after, daylight came.

A one-sided massacre of monsters by humans is unfolding against all odds...
