Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 26, Section 026: [Monster Hunter]

His cheeks twitched as Ling Xiao realized that he was once again under that stealthy soul attack.

Slightly bend your knees to lower your center of gravity.

Before he even turned around, the knife in his hand had already instinctively slashed behind him!

Crimson flames shot up and ignited, drawing a streak of rainbow light!

"I was just looking for you! Damn it! It's all your fault!"

Panic, confusion, frustration, fear...

All the negative emotions brought about by the abyss aura were amplified for no reason at this moment, but they were all burned away by the blazing killing intent in the blink of an eye!

After witnessing the Dream Demon's unreasonable dream-creating methods, Ling Xiao and the experienced top-ranked player, [81 Cleaver], discussed how to counter it.

There is only one empirically feasible answer:

Suppress it with even stronger emotions!

Ling Xiao was able to break free from control because his deepest, most inviolable place was offended, and his intense emotions tore apart those falsehoods.

Both agreed that the warning from the thorn ring did not guarantee that one would not be affected.

Instead of guarding against thieves for a thousand days, it's better to think about how to wake up in time.

After the thief broke into the house by picking the lock, the attacker suddenly fought back and beat the thief to death with a flurry of punches!

Final solution:

Use someone's strength against them!

Using the illusionary demon's ability to "manipulate" emotions to strengthen certain thoughts!

Ling Xiao chose to kill.

As for the target, it is naturally the deep purple jellyfish that is currently "trembling" in pain right in front of us!

The Burning Spirit Blood Blade was extremely powerful, severing the two extended tentacles without hesitation.

The Phantom Demon had never suffered such a severe blow, and its floating body trembled as it drifted backwards.

Trying to escape!?

"You're going to blur again!?"

The flames on the torch swayed backward as Ling Xiao, keeping his body low, charged forward with all his might!

This guy was too fast and retreated very decisively, so the follow-up slash from the machete missed.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao had made ample preparations for this revenge.

His eyes were filled with divine light.

Soul-draining piercing!

The swift soul attack pierced the body of the Dream Demon across the distance, causing the monster, which was originally only a pale purple, to momentarily freeze.

"squeak!"

Amidst the sharp explosions, Ling Xiao pursued relentlessly!

Seeing that escape was not an option, the Illusionary Demon became fierce, raising all its drooping tentacles and lunging at the charging figure!

hiss hiss hiss—

Hot knife melts ice.

The blade, wreathed in blood and flames, stopped after piercing most of the "jellyfish's" skull, embedding itself there and unable to go any further, only futilely burning the ever-flowing gelatinous flesh and blood into black ash.

Because its owner had fallen into chaos.

Ling Xiao remained frozen in place, his eyes glazed over, still wielding his sword in a downward slashing motion.

His body and face were inescapably connected by the tentacles of the Illusionary Demon!

He tried his best to remain conscious.

But the mental storm only intensified.

Countless fragments of memories flooded back, almost bursting his mind!

Every regret, every thought, every dark idea evolves into its own possible developments and fantasies.

Either beautiful or torturous.

It not only occupied Ling Xiao's "processor", but also rolled, piled up and expanded, completely destroying his will!

Cleanse the soul of this powerful human and transform it into a tool that continuously provides soul power!

The stinging pain from the ring almost burned my finger.

With its help and the aid of soul resistance, Ling Xiao managed to hold on to his final move with great difficulty.

Continue to infuse the blade with spiritual power!

The Burning Spirit Blood Blade can not only injure enemies, but it can also ignite itself!

Do you like hacking?

Don't want to go?

I locked the door and started the fire!

How could a dangerous battle last for three hundred rounds?

A few moves, or even a single exchange, can determine victory or defeat, life or death!

From the moment Lingxiao was attacked to the moment he clashed with the Illusionary Demon, only a few seconds had passed.

The two sides were locked in a life-or-death struggle, with their souls as the battlefield, and had been locked in a stalemate for several seconds.

The strange creature continued to increase its output, attempting to destroy Ling Xiao's spiritual world in one fell swoop; the latter only gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, channeling his spiritual power to maintain the rising blood flames.

Eight...nine...ten!

A wisp of fire seemed to have lost control and "flowed" down from the blade.

The magnificent and solemn blood flames, glowing with a crimson-pink light, rapidly surged back towards Ling Xiao's head.

As it spread, all the tentacles that passed by were burned off.

In a short while, the pain covered his face.

bake!

It's burning up!

My mind is like a boiling lake!

The bubbles of countless fantasies burst instantly, and consciousness cleared, but at the same time, an even more ferocious burning pain followed.

Ling Xiao's eyes reddened.

After severing the connection, he did not immediately stop burning the Blood Blade.

At this moment, the Demon of Illusion's limbs were severed, leaving only its enormous, imaginary head.

The blade, still burning with blood-red flames, hasn't been drawn yet!

"Die!!"

blah-

Like the sound of a jelly package being torn open, the illusory demon was finally split in half by Ling Xiao's blade.

Congratulations on successfully defeating the 'Strange Species - The Dream Demon'!

【Congratulations……】

What's new in the task panel?

But Ling Xiao wasn't in the mood to look; he wanted to go back first.

He put away the two shrunken "jellyfish" pieces, took out a few grass rolls from his backpack, and popped them into his mouth.

After chewing out the bitter medicine, swallow it in one gulp.

As the burning pain in his soul eased slightly, Ling Xiao was already on his way back to the safe zone.

The flames flickered.

Torch returned from another business trip.

The forging furnace is still under repair, so I can take a short break.

With the danger kept at bay, Ling Xiao could finally relax and check the messages he hadn't had time to examine in detail before.

[Congratulations on becoming the first explorer in this region to slay a [Mutant], [Strange], or [Filthy]! Humanity's praise is a praise of courage!]

[Given your unwavering will and strong execution, the limited-time hidden class [Monster Hunter] is now available for you!]

[Hidden Class: Unrelated to main class, no level requirement, appointment ceremony can be unlocked upon meeting certain conditions]

"A job system? I haven't heard of anyone even touching the threshold to unlock a job yet. Does that mean I have to meet all sorts of prerequisites? Am I the first one!?"

Ling Xiao suppressed his excitement and continued browsing the detailed introduction.

【任职仪式：至少击杀十只种类不同的怪物：[异变种]（4/8）、[诡异种]（1/1）、[污秽种]（1/1）】

[Professional Motto: Ragnarok, the Abyss descends. The world is sliding into darkness, and some elite warriors, unwilling to succumb, have risen up, risking their lives to eradicate the mutated creatures, eerie spirits, and filthy seeds that infest the world…]

"Hey! Kid! Are you really going to hand over this human-owned home to these disgusting bastards?! Check your crotch, if you still have anything left, grab your sword and get on my heels!"

Monster hunters are never heroes standing in the light. But even without a thousand armies behind them, they will fight alone to slay all these filthy creatures! Even if it means going to hell with them!

"Hiss...that's a bit too strong..."

The most difficult ones, the Bizarre and the Filthy, have already met the requirements; only four different mutant species remain.

Ling Xiao has killed monsters and almost been killed himself.

He understood the importance of attributes very well.

Moreover, the various bonuses and abilities of Monster Hunter are currently terrifying!

"We must take it!"

"Right now, I can only rely on external factors like skills and equipment, which puts me in a very passive position! I really have no confidence!"

"Once I become a Monster Hunter, my combat power will definitely undergo a qualitative change!"

"Having parents' resources is not as good as having them yourself! Strive to complete your post before the trial ends!"

Damn! It's not attracting any readers, folks. About 60% of the readers who come in stay, but there are very few people actually coming in!

Why? Is it because my book title and synopsis are too bad?

But I’m really bad at naming and I can’t think of a good name!

Am I going to be eliminated in the first round?! Waaaaah!

Please read and collect ~
