Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 194, Section 193: Don't order yet!

Ling Xiao stood at the edge of a lush forest, his gaze piercing through layers of green leaves, fixed on the entrance to a deep underground cave. Sunlight filtered through the treetops, dappling his face and casting a mysterious glow on his resolute features. His heart pounded steadily and powerfully in his chest, each beat a gathering of strength for the impending battle.

Ling Xiao stood deep within the cave, the walls of which were covered with strange, glowing plants that emitted a soft light, adding a touch of mystery to the deep cave. His heart pounded steadily and powerfully in his chest, each beat as if gathering strength for the challenge to come.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath. The air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and new leaves, a unique fragrance of nature and the prelude to the wood-attribute cave. He knew that this cave was a trial ground that cultivators dreamed of, containing rich wood-attribute spiritual energy, but also harboring unknown dangers.

His steps were light yet firm, each one a dialogue with the earth, feeling the pulse emanating from its core. The entrance to the underground cave drew ever closer, and a faint sense of oppression followed, a wood-elemental pressure that silently warned every intruder attempting to enter.

Ling Xiao gently stroked the longsword at his waist, and the blade vibrated slightly, as if responding to his touch. This sword was a gift from his master when he completed his apprenticeship; its name was "Azure Wood," perfectly matching the aura of the wood-attribute cave. He could feel the power contained within the sword, a power connected to his bloodline.

Upon entering the cave, the light instantly dimmed, with only the occasional shimmering glow of fluorescent moss on the walls providing a faint illumination. Ling Xiao's pupils contracted slightly as he adjusted to the light. His senses became exceptionally sharp at this moment; every breath, every heartbeat, clearly conveyed information about his surroundings.

The interior of the cave was intricate and complex, with crisscrossing passages resembling a vast maze. Relying on his profound understanding of the wood element, Ling Xiao proceeded along the path with the densest spiritual energy. His footsteps made almost no sound on the damp ground, with only the occasional echo of water droplets reverberating in the empty passages.

As they went deeper, the wood-attribute spiritual energy in the cave became increasingly concentrated, and Ling Xiao could feel every cell in his body greedily absorbing it. His body was gradually enveloped in a faint green light, a result of the resonance between the wood-attribute spiritual energy and the power within his body.

Suddenly, a low roar shattered the silence of the cave, and Ling Xiao's eyes sharpened instantly. He knew this was a warning from the monsters within. He gripped his Green Wood Sword tightly, his muscles tensing, preparing for the impending battle.

The roar grew closer, and Ling Xiao could feel the ground tremble—the heavy footsteps of the monster. He held his breath, waiting silently. Finally, a huge black shadow appeared at the end of the passage, its scarlet eyes flashing menacingly in the darkness.

This was a giant bear of the wood element, several times larger than an ordinary bear, its body covered in hard, woody scales, and each breath it took carried a rich spiritual energy of the wood element. The giant bear roared and charged towards Lingxiao, its footsteps shaking the entire cavern, as if even the earth itself trembled beneath its feet.

Instead of retreating, Ling Xiao advanced, his body becoming incredibly light, like a leaf fluttering in the wind. He wielded the Green Wood Sword, its tip drawing green trails in the air, intertwining with the giant bear's attacks.

The battle was exceptionally fierce. Every sword strike from Lingxiao contained the power of wood, while each attack from the giant bear carried the power to shatter mountains and split rocks. The sounds of swords clashing against scales and the giant bear's furious roars echoed through the passage.

Ling Xiao gradually found his rhythm in the battle. He began to use the environment inside the cave to guide the giant bear's attacks, causing it to crash into the hard stone walls. Each impact would slow the giant bear's offensive, allowing Ling Xiao to launch a counterattack.

As the battle continued, Ling Xiao's swordsmanship became increasingly refined, and he began to perfectly fuse the power of wood with his swordsmanship. The Green Wood Sword seemed to come alive in his hands, each swing imbued with the power of life.

Finally, in a fierce battle, Ling Xiao found the giant bear's weakness. He concentrated all his strength and thrust his sword into the bear's heart. The giant bear let out a deafening roar, then slowly collapsed. In the instant it fell, its body transformed into wisps of wood-attribute spiritual energy, dissipating into the cave.

Ling Xiao stood there, panting heavily. His body was covered in wounds, but his eyes gleamed with the light of victory. He knew that this battle was not only a test of his physical strength, but also a tempering of his will and skills.

He closed his eyes, sensing the flow of wood-attribute spiritual energy within the cave. At that moment, his body seemed to merge with the entire cave. He could feel that his cultivation had improved in this battle; his power was more refined, and his understanding of the wood attribute was more profound.

Ling Xiao opened his eyes, his gaze resolute. He knew this was only the beginning of the underground trial, and many more challenges awaited him. But he was prepared; no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, he would overcome them one by one.

Ling Xiao's gaze swept across the cave. He could sense that this place was completely different from the battlegrounds he had experienced before. The wood-attribute spiritual energy in the air was much denser, and it seemed to be alive, flowing slowly around him and gently caressing his skin, as if welcoming his arrival.

His steps were light yet firm, each one a dialogue with the earth, feeling the pulse emanating from its core. The interior of the cave was intricate and complex, a labyrinth of crisscrossing passages.

This was a wood-attribute spirit beast, several times larger than an ordinary bear, its body covered in hard, wooden scales, and each breath it took carried a rich wood-attribute spiritual energy. The spirit beast roared and charged towards Lingxiao, its footsteps shaking the entire cavern, as if even the earth itself trembled beneath its feet.

A resolute glint flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes. He knew that to defeat this spirit beast, he had to find its weakness. He began to carefully observe the spirit beast's every movement, searching for an opening in its attack. Although the spirit beast's attacks were ferocious, there was always a brief pause after each strike—a moment when it adjusted its breathing and prepared for the next attack.

The spirit beast's attacks grew increasingly ferocious; each swing of its claws was accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air. Its wooden scales shimmered with layers of green light under the sword's glow, as if life flowed within them. Ling Xiao's sword tip touched the scales, producing a crisp sound, and each contact sparked green flames.

Although the spirit beast's attacks were ferocious, there was always a brief pause after each strike—a moment when it adjusted its breathing and prepared for the next attack.

Ling Xiao seized the opportunity. Before the spirit beast could launch its next attack, his body shot out like an arrow, the Green Wood Sword drawing a perfect arc in the air, aimed directly at the spirit beast's throat. The spirit beast seemed to sense the danger; a flicker of fear flashed in its eyes, but it was too late.

The Green Wood Sword pierced the spirit beast's throat with pinpoint accuracy. A powerful wood-attribute force erupted from the sword's tip, instantly enveloping the spirit beast's body in green light. It let out a deafening roar, then slowly collapsed. In the instant it fell, its body transformed into wisps of wood-attribute spiritual energy, dissipating into the cave.
