Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 261 261:

Ling Xiao stood before the door that emanated powerful magical energy, took a deep breath, and calmed his slightly nervous emotions.

He knew that the magic circle behind the door was not only related to whether the seal on the demon god could be strengthened, but it might also be the key to his escape from this sealed land.

He concentrated his mind, channeling the magic within him and continuously pouring it into the wand in his hand.

The gem at the tip of the wand shone brightly, echoing the light from the magic circle on the door.

Ling Xiao began chanting the magic incantations he had deciphered from the books.

As the incantation was chanted, the door began to tremble slowly, and the light on the magic circle grew increasingly dazzling. Various mysterious runes flickered and leaped, as if an ancient and solemn ceremony was taking place.

Ling Xiao dared not slacken in the slightest, continuing to concentrate on casting spells, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, and every spell was pronounced accurately.

Finally, with a muffled rumble, the door slowly opened.

Behind the door was a huge circular space, with the walls engraved with magical patterns related to sealing the demon god. In the center was a huge magic circle, which was composed of complex lines and runes and emitted powerful and mysterious energy fluctuations.

Ling Xiao cautiously stepped into the space, taking each step with extreme care, afraid of triggering any mechanisms within the magic circle. He paced around the magic circle, carefully observing every detail.

He noticed several grooves along the edge of the magic circle, the shapes of which matched some of the magic crystals he had collected in the castle. Ling Xiao quickly took out the crystals and placed them into the grooves one by one.

The moment the last crystal was embedded, the magic circle shone brightly, and a powerful force enveloped Lingxiao within it.

He closed his eyes, feeling the surge of power, and some deeper memories of the sealed land surfaced in his mind.

In these memories, he saw the guardians of the magic kingdom carefully setting up this magic circle after sealing the demon god, in order to prevent the demon god from reviving again.

The magic circle can not only continuously weaken the power of the demon god, but also resonate with external magical power to maintain the stability of the seal.

The mysterious bead in Ling Xiao's hand is the key to activating the full power of the magic array.

Following the method he remembered, Ling Xiao placed the mysterious bead in the center of the magic circle.

The moment the bead touched the magic circle, it burst forth with an extremely dazzling light, illuminating the entire space.

The magic circle began to spin rapidly, and powerful magical energy spread outwards like a surging tide.

Ling Xiao could clearly feel that the surrounding space was distorted, as if some kind of strange change was taking place.

As the magic circle activated, Ling Xiao suddenly felt a powerful force pulling his body in one direction. He knew this was the magic circle opening a passage to leave the sealed land.

Ling Xiao gripped his wand tightly, composed himself, and, drawn by the light, stepped into it. After a dizzying moment, Ling Xiao found himself in a dense forest.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the ground. A breath of fresh air swept over us, a stark contrast to the oppressive atmosphere of the sealed land.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, his heart filled with the joy of surviving a calamity. He looked around and realized that the forest he was in was the very edge of the forest where he had first entered the sealed land.

Ling Xiao walked along the familiar path toward his village. Along the way, he recalled his experiences in the sealed land, his heart filled with emotion.

He knew he bore a great mission: to inform the world of the demon god's threat, to find a way to completely destroy the demon god, and to restore peace to this land.

When Ling Xiao returned to the village, the villagers, seeing that he had returned safely, all gathered around him.

Their eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity, and they asked him all at once where he had gone.

Ling Xiao recounted his experiences in the sealed land to the villagers in detail. The villagers listened in astonishment, both shocked and impressed by his courage and ordeal.

Surrounded by the villagers, Ling Xiao returned to his home. After resting briefly, he began preparing for the next step of his plan.

He knew that he could hardly contend with the powerful demon god on his own, and he had to seek the help of other magicians.

So he decided to embark on a journey to the capital of the magic kingdom, where magicians gathered, hoping to find like-minded companions to discuss ways to fight the demon god.

Ling Xiao bid farewell to the villagers, shouldered his pack, held his magic wand, and embarked on the road to the capital. Along the way, he endured wind and rain, sleeping in the open and experiencing many hardships.

Sometimes he encountered harsh weather, with torrential rain and strong winds soaking him to the bone; sometimes he encountered ferocious beasts, but with his magical powers, he always managed to escape danger. After a long journey, Ling Xiao finally arrived at the capital of the Magic Kingdom.

The capital city was bustling and vibrant, with streets teeming with traffic and mages dressed in robes of various colors coming and going. Ling Xiao weaved through the crowd, searching for the location of the Magic Guild.

The Magic Guild was a place where magicians exchanged ideas and learned, and it was also the best place for him to find companions. Guided by a kind person, Ling Xiao found the Magic Guild.

The guild's buildings were magnificent, with the guild's emblem—a golden six-pointed star—engraved above the gate.

Ling Xiao entered the guild hall, which was spacious and bright, filled with various magic books and magical tools. Many mages sat together, discussing various magical issues.

Ling Xiao approached a rather elderly-looking mage and politely inquired if he had any research materials on the Demon God. This mage, named Karl, was a senior member of the Magic Guild.

He was shocked after hearing Ling Xiao's story, and at the same time admired Ling Xiao's courage.

Karl told Ling Xiao that the Magic Guild did indeed have some research materials about the Demon God, but they were all stored deep within the guild's library and could only be accessed with specific permissions.

Ling Xiao explained his mission to Karl, hoping he could help him obtain access to the information. Karl was moved by Ling Xiao's sincerity and determination and decided to help him.

With Karl's help, Ling Xiao successfully gained access to the information. He plunged into the library and began to carefully study the materials about the Demon God.

In the library, Ling Xiao met some magicians who were also interested in demon gods.

Some of them were skilled in fire magic, some were proficient in water magic, and others had considerable knowledge of healing magic. Ling Xiao shared his experiences in the sealed land with them, and everyone was deeply worried about the threat posed by the demon god.

After some discussion, they decided to form a team to fight against the demon god. Among the team was a female mage named Alice, who had long golden hair and a determined, bright gaze.

She is skilled in wind magic, able to manipulate the power of the wind to make herself agile, and can also use wind blades to attack.

There was also a magician named David, who was tall and burly. He was proficient in earth magic and could summon sturdy earth walls for defense, as well as unleash powerful earth-shattering spells for attack.

In addition, there is a young magician in the team named Tom, who has a unique talent for healing magic and can provide timely healing to his teammates in battle.

Ling Xiao and his new companions began to devise a plan to fight the Demon God. They trained daily at the Magic Guild's training grounds, constantly improving their magical abilities and honing their teamwork.

Ling Xiao shared the magical knowledge he had gained in the sealed land with his companions, and they learned from each other and made progress together. During breaks in training, Ling Xiao and his companions also discussed the weaknesses of the demon god and how to deal with them.

They searched for clues in ancient texts, analyzing the demon god's attack patterns and magical properties. After a long period of research and discussion, they gradually developed a detailed plan to counter it.

The plan includes how to find the demon god's hiding place, how to weaken the demon god's power, and how to cooperate with each other in battle and give full play to their respective advantages.

Ling Xiao knew that the road to fighting the demon god was full of hardships and dangers, but he firmly believed that as long as they were united and relied on their wisdom and courage, they would be able to defeat the demon god and protect the peace and tranquility of this land.

After thorough preparation, Ling Xiao and his companions embarked on a journey to confront the demon god. Their figures were firm and resolute as they marched toward the unknown challenges.

Full of ambition, Ling Xiao and his companions stepped out of the gates of the Magic Guild and officially embarked on their journey to fight against the Demon God.

The sunlight shone on them, illuminating their resolute faces, but everyone knew that many hardships and dangers awaited them ahead.

They followed the winding road, their destination the ancient ruins where demons had once roamed.

Legend has it that this place is one of the sources of the demon's power, and perhaps one can find traces of the demon and key clues to weaken its power.

Along the way, the forest grew denser, with branches and leaves intertwining and almost blocking out the sky, making the road dark and difficult to travel.

Alice used wind magic to gently sway the surrounding branches and leaves, creating a relatively smooth passage for everyone. The breeze brought a touch of coolness, relieving some of the fatigue of the group.

After traveling for several days, they arrived at a valley. The valley was filled with an eerie purple mist, which emitted a pungent odor.

David frowned, sensing an evil power within the mist through his perception of earth magic. "Everyone be careful, this mist is probably not simple."

He reminded them. Ling Xiao nodded, waved his wand, and a transparent magical shield formed around everyone to resist the erosion of the mist. Tom was also fully focused, ready to cast healing magic at any moment in case his teammates were accidentally poisoned.

The team continued onward when suddenly the ground began to shake violently. David reacted quickly, shouting, "Something's coming out!"

The land on both sides of the valley cracked open, and huge, spiked earth-walking beasts burst out of the ground.

These earth-dwelling beasts were more than two people tall, with skin as hard as iron and eyes that gleamed with a fierce red light.

They opened their gaping maws, letting out deafening roars, and charged towards the crowd.

Alice launched the first attack, her hands flailing as she chanted incantations, sending gusts of wind like sharp blades flying toward the earth-walking beast.

The wind blades sliced ​​through the skin of the earth-walking beasts, sending sparks flying, but only leaving shallow marks and not causing fatal damage.

Seeing this, David immediately cast earth magic, and earthen walls rose from the ground in an attempt to stop the earth-walking beasts' charge. The earth-walking beasts crashed into the earthen walls, causing cracks to appear, but temporarily halting their advance.

Ling Xiao seized the opportunity and unleashed a fire spell, instantly engulfing the several earth-walking beasts in raging flames.

The earth-walking beast struggled and roared in agony amidst the flames, its spikes glowing red-hot.

Tom kept a close eye on his teammates' condition from the rear, and if anyone was injured, he would immediately use healing magic to restore everyone's strength and injuries.

The battle reached its climax when an exceptionally large earth-dwelling beast broke through the earthen wall and charged straight at Lingxiao.

It was incredibly fast, creating a gust of wind. Ling Xiao quickly dodged to the side, simultaneously gathering his magic power, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the earth-walking beast.

Just as he was about to launch his attack, another earth-walking beast suddenly attacked from the side, its sharp claws reaching for him.

At the critical moment, Alice used wind magic to lift Ling Xiao backward, allowing him to avoid the attack. Ling Xiao glanced gratefully at Alice, then coordinated with his teammates to launch another attack on the earth-walking beasts.

They constantly adjusted their tactics, utilizing the unique characteristics of their respective magic, and gradually gained the upper hand. After a fierce battle, the earth beasts fell one after another, and the valley was filled with the stench of blood.

After a short rest to regain their strength, the group continued their journey deeper into the valley.

As they ventured deeper, they discovered lingering magical fluctuations in the valley, fluctuations somewhat resembling the aura of a demon god. Ling Xiao took out a mysterious bead, which trembled slightly, seemingly responding to the surrounding magical fluctuations.

He was overjoyed; it seemed they were heading in the right direction and getting closer to the demon god's trail.

However, the road ahead became increasingly difficult. Ahead lay a wide river, its waters an eerie black, flowing swiftly, with black whirlpools frequently appearing on its surface.

An ancient castle can be faintly seen on the opposite bank of the river, shrouded in a layer of black mist, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.

Ling Xiao guessed that the castle might be the ancient ruins they were looking for, and the clues to the demon god might be inside. David tried to build a bridge across the river using earth magic, but the power of the river was too great, and the newly built bridge was instantly washed away by the current.

Alice also used wind magic to try to fly everyone over, but the strange black mist seemed to have a strong interference effect on the magic, and she could not fully cast her spell.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Tom discovered some huge stones by the river with strange runes carved on them.

He studied the runes carefully and discovered that they seemed to be related to the power of the river.
