Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 19: Emergency Rescue

Previously, Lingxiao traveled quickly through the gray fog.

The field of vision that the torch can open is really limited. If he runs into a monster head-on, it will be difficult for him to react perfectly to the situation given his current attributes.

Moreover, in the eyes of predators, slow movement and high-speed movement are completely different temptations!

But we can't worry about those potential risks right now.

As he ran, Ling Xiao glanced at the countdown timer on his wristwatch and the torch.

I realized that less than a minute had passed between packing my things to leave and struggling to wake up and decisively escaping.

Looking at his condition again, his physical strength was still normal, but his spiritual energy was almost depleted!

No wonder the throbbing pain in his forehead intensified, and it felt as if a red-hot iron rod was being slowly inserted into his brain, stirring it violently.

My mental state is getting worse and worse, and my thinking is becoming sluggish.

Keeping the route on the map straight had exhausted his last bit of willpower; he didn't even dare to look back, only staring intently at the rapidly receding gray fog ahead.

"Am I... really going to die...?"

"No way...no way! I don't want to die in this godforsaken place!!"

In the final stretch, it was almost as if the body was dragging the consciousness along.

In a daze, light suddenly appeared before his eyes. Ling Xiao, who had rushed into the area illuminated by the campfire, almost collapsed to his knees.

In fact, he didn't persist for more than a few steps.

"Heh...ha..."

Ling Xiao collapsed, losing control of his body and gasping for breath. It wasn't because he was tired, but because he instinctively wanted to relieve the excruciating pain in his head by inhaling a large amount of air.

Open the store.

Before he completely loses consciousness and goes offline, he needs to find an item similar to a cool spring.

If there were a treasure that could directly heal the soul, that would be even better!

Unfortunately, after searching through all the dazzling array of goods, I still couldn't find it.

The only two pieces of equipment were of poor quality with no special characteristics. They required spirituality and mental strength, but did not provide any additional bonuses when worn.

I hope I won't die...

His spiritual energy was flashing a dangerous red light, but it wasn't decreasing any further. And if Ling Xiao remembered correctly, he had recovered two points during the escape, so he should be fine...

But he really didn't want to experience the despair of being helplessly waiting again, so without hesitation, he opened [Friends].

[Xiao: "@81Cleaver, Brother Knife! Do you have anything that can heal the soul? Urgent!"]

[Owl: "@When the forest is deep, you see deer, is there still any cool spring water? I'll buy it at a high price, I need it urgently!"]

……

He sent messages to all his friends and also posted a request for a high-priced purchase on the store page.

Ling Xiao threw the stones directly to the system to recycle copper coins, and waited in a half-dreaming state.

His eyes were unfocused and slightly narrowed, and his face twitched occasionally.

Time seemed to stretch out to an extreme distance, becoming long and agonizing.

[81 Kitchen Knife] didn't reply, which makes sense. This guy has been holding back his anger for a long time, and he's probably venting it all with the monster.

【The nimble dog in the mountains】 replied quite quickly, but while expressing curiosity about the situation, it also indicated that it was unable to help.

Most of the other people's replies were expressions of concern and inquiries, but Ling Xiao couldn't even be bothered to think about them.

Now he has to conserve every last bit of his "computing power" and use it precisely, making sure to save it for the last few operations before he falls into a coma.

[When the forest is deep, a deer appears: "Boss, are you alright? Didn't you have enough water from the spring last time? Your injuries are really..."]

This message was probably replied to a few minutes ago, or maybe not long ago.

Ling Xiao has now lost his sense of time.

Although he could see his watch with a simple gesture, his spirit, which was on the verge of melting at its limit, had no time to control his body.

After waiting for a while without any response, the other party sent something else.

Ling Xiao opened the chat window that was glowing with golden light. He didn't have much hope, but when he dazedly looked inside, he was surprised to find a bottle of [Cool Spring Water]!

Tons tons tons—

The recovery of spiritual energy accelerated instantly, and the pain was suddenly relieved!

I only had time to type "thank you" to the other party.

The next second, Ling Xiao's arm slid to his side, and an empty glass bottle rolled out of his outstretched palm.

His consciousness faded into darkness, and he entered the second slumber of this world...

……

"Well……"

The blurry double image in front of his eyes gradually became clear after blinking. Ling Xiao rubbed his temples and got up from the cold ground.

Then he dragged himself to the campfire and sat down.

After taking a few sips of energy drink, I finally managed to retrieve and reorder everything that had happened from the sea of ​​my memory.

Having pieced together the whole story, Ling Xiao just wanted to yell, "Damn it!"

【Level 5 Illusory Demon [Strange Species] (Normal)】

[Racial Talents: Etherealization, Mind Reading]

[Racial Skills: Lust Catalyst, Dreamlike Vision, Soul Absorption, Sweet Dreams]

[Individual Attributes: Spirituality 6/Perception 6/Spirit 6]

[Individual Description: Directly absorbing souls is a rare occurrence even among the bizarre species. In exchange, it offers you a blissful dream, fulfilling all your desires without regrets. Although it ultimately dies from exhaustion of its soul, what's wrong with satisfying unimaginable desires in a dream?]

The latest novel is first published here!

It is different from the Nightshade Rabbit, Wild Lizard, and Dirty Ferocious Rat that we encountered before.

Even the Soul Badger, which is also from the supernatural realm, is much "kinder" than it.

Because those monsters were all mutant species, and this Illusory Demon was the first strange species that Ling Xiao encountered!

What's the difference?

do not know.

But what if he didn't allocate the attribute to his spirit? What if he lacked soul resistance? What if the Blue Mother from the depths of his memory didn't pull him back from the brink and awaken him in time...?

My spiritual energy is nearly depleted. If I remain ignorant any longer, it will be a fatal blow that damages my very essence.

Ling Xiao remembered this near-death experience!

I came to my senses.

Since he's not dead, he should get back to work.

After bringing cool spring water, [When the forest is deep, you will see deer] sent a few more messages tentatively. Just by reading the words, Ling Xiao could feel the worry and anxiety hidden beneath the other party's concern.

There are also fears that cannot be openly expressed.

She's afraid of me...

Why?

oh……

It seems this person is worried that releasing two bottles of "cool spring water" in succession will attract covetous eyes, like a child carrying gold through a bustling city.

Possessing a treasure is a crime.

The first bottle was found by sheer luck.

Take out the second bottle; no matter what, everyone will assume there's still stock!

And this person was none other than Ling Xiao, who was ranked second on the ranking list!

Most importantly, he's still second on the kill list!

Even if the explorers can only send messages now, some tricks can still come in handy. For example, just spreading the word that this person has a treasure will bring a whole host of troubles.

Besides, nobody wants to be targeted by such a ruthless person. What if they run into each other in real life...?

Before falling into a coma, my brain was burned to mush, and I couldn't think deeply about anything.

Now that Ling Xiao has figured it out, he is sincerely grateful to this "good person".

One thing at a time, the other party has twice offered timely help, and even at the cost of losing money, they are willing to take unpredictable risks to help me.

He remembered this true friendship that could only be seen in times of hardship.

That damned monster can't be killed for revenge yet, but this kind person deserves a proper reward.

It's very simple: Zigong redeemed the people and rewarded them with benefits!

I replied to the message first, temporarily calming down the frightened "Deer Seen in the Deep Forest".

Ling Xiao felt that if he didn't reply, the other person would keep worrying and scaring themselves.

Looking at the several iron spears that had been successfully forged beside the furnace, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

It's harvest time...

Fifty copper coins is just GG's advertising; to really boost sales, the price needs to be even lower to match the hard-earned savings of most explorers.

So, how many iron spears should be ordered for the first batch...?
