Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 262 262:

Faced with the black mist emanating from the demon god's minions, Ling Xiao and the others quickly adjusted their formation.

Alice stood at the front of the group, waving her hands and casting wind magic, trying to disperse the black mist that surged in like a tidal wave.

The powerful airflow created by wind magic collided violently with the black mist, causing the airflow in the corridor to become turbulent and the wind to howl.

However, the mist surrounding the demon's minions seemed to contain powerful dark magic. Although Alice's wind magic temporarily blocked the mist's advance, it was difficult to completely dispel it.

Upon seeing this, David immediately cast an earth-based spell.

He pressed his hands to the ground and muttered incantations. The ground rapidly rose, and thick earthen walls sprang up, forming a solid defensive line in front of everyone.

The black mist crashed against the earthen wall, making a hissing sound, as if trying to corrode the barrier.

Ling Xiao, behind the earthen wall, concentrated his magic power on his wand. His eyes were firm as he carefully observed the every move of the demon god's minions, searching for their weaknesses.

The demon's minions let out a sharp laugh, waving their eerie wands. Suddenly, several black tentacles shot out from the black mist, attacking the group like nimble pythons.

The tentacles moved incredibly fast, accompanied by a whistling sound, tearing black cracks in the air wherever they went.

Alice quickly dodged to the side, simultaneously unleashing several wind blades in an attempt to sever the tentacles.

The wind blade struck the tentacle precisely, but only created a shower of black sparks. The tentacle paused slightly before continuing its advance towards the group. David manipulated the earthen wall to block the tentacle.

However, the tentacles were incredibly powerful, constantly striking the earthen wall, causing cracks to appear.

Tom stayed at the rear of the group, intently maintaining defensive magic to provide shields for his teammates, while closely monitoring everyone's condition and ready to cast healing magic at any time.

Ling Xiao seized the opportunity and unleashed his fire magic. He chanted an ancient incantation, and flames instantly erupted from the tip of his wand, sweeping towards the demon god's minions like a surging tide.

The demon's minions seemed to be wary of fire magic; they waved their wands, forming a black shield in front of them to block the fire attacks.

The flames collided with the black shield, producing a violent explosion that illuminated the entire corridor, filling it with heat.

Taking advantage of the moment when the demon's minions were blocking the flames, Alice used wind magic to gently lift Ling Xiao and David high into the air. Ling Xiao and David adjusted their positions in mid-air and launched their attack simultaneously.

Ling Xiao unleashed lightning magic, and thick bolts of lightning shot out from the tip of his wand, carrying powerful currents, striking the demon's minions; David, on the other hand, compressed the earth magic in his hand into a huge ball of earth, and slammed it down on the demon's minions.

The demon's minions brandished their wands, attempting to fend off the two's attacks. Black mist condensed before them, forming a sturdy defensive barrier.

Lightning struck the barrier, emitting a dazzling light that instantly dispelled some of the black mist; the earthen ball struck the barrier with a dull thud, leaving a noticeable dent.

During the fierce battle, Ling Xiao noticed that the movements of the demon god's minions seemed to slow down over time, and some gaps appeared in its defenses.

He realized that although the demon's minions were powerful, the prolonged battle was also depleting their magic power.

Ling Xiao informed his teammates of this discovery, and the group decided to seize the opportunity and launch a fierce attack. Alice unleashed her full power of wind magic, creating a powerful tornado in the corridor that swept up all the remaining black mist.

The tornado roared towards the demon's minions, who struggled to withstand it.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lingxiao, David, and Tom concentrated their magic power and unleashed a combination attack using fire, earth, and healing magic respectively.

Flames enveloped the earthen ball, imbued with the aid of healing magic, and hurtled towards the demon's minions like a burning meteor. The demon's minions tried to dodge, but the tornado restricted their movements.

The attack struck the demon's minion with a loud bang, sending it flying and crashing heavily into the wall at the end of the corridor.

A huge dent appeared in the wall, and the demon's minions lay in the ruins, their breaths faint.

Ling Xiao and the others approached cautiously, only to see the bodies of the demon god's minions gradually dissipate, leaving behind only a magic wand emitting a ghostly light.

Ling Xiao picked up the magic wand and examined it closely. He discovered that the wand was covered with mysterious runes, which emitted a faint dark magic.

He guessed that the magic wand might have a close connection with the demon god, and might be able to help them fight against the demon god.

After defeating the demon's minions, the group continued deeper into the castle. At the end of the corridor appeared a massive stone door, covered with strange patterns that seemed to contain powerful magical energy.

Ling Xiao used the knowledge he had learned from the mysterious bead and the ancient books of the Magic Guild to carefully study the patterns on the stone gate.

He discovered that these patterns were an ancient magical code that required specific magical power to decipher.

Ling Xiao told his teammates about his discovery, and everyone used their magic to inject their magic power into the stone gate.

As magic was infused, the patterns on the stone door gradually lit up, their light growing increasingly dazzling. Suddenly, the stone door emitted a muffled rumble and slowly opened.

Behind the door was a huge circular hall with an extremely high ceiling inlaid with countless gems that emitted a soft glow, like a dazzling starry sky.

The hall's floor was paved with massive stone slabs, intricately engraved with magical arrays. In the center of the hall stood a huge stone platform, upon which rested a book that emitted a faint glow. Ling Xiao and the others walked towards the platform, and as they approached, they sensed a powerful magical fluctuation emanating from the book.

Ling Xiao carefully picked up the book, and as soon as he touched it, the book emitted a dazzling light, within which countless words and images seemed to flicker.

Ling Xiao closed his eyes, concentrated, and tried to decipher the information contained in the book.

Images surfaced in his mind. In these images, after sealing away the Demon God, the people of the Magic Kingdom left behind many important clues and powerful magical forces in these ruins to prevent the Demon God from awakening again.

This book holds the key to unlocking these secrets. It records the demon god's weaknesses, the complete method for sealing him, and the locations of other powerful magical artifacts hidden within these ruins. Ling Xiao opened his eyes and shared the book's contents with his teammates. They were both excited and nervous upon hearing it.

They knew they were one step closer to completely destroying the demon god, but at the same time they faced even greater challenges.

According to the book, they need to find three magical keys in the ruins to open the gate to the core area of ​​the demon god's seal. Only by entering the core area can the seal on the demon god be truly strengthened, and there is even a chance to completely destroy it.

Ling Xiao and the others rested briefly in the hall to recover their strength and magic. They carefully studied the clues in the books and devised a plan to find the magic key.

They then left the rotunda and headed deeper into the ruins, ready to face new challenges.

During their exploration, they discovered that the ruins concealed many traps and dangerous magical creatures.

Some traps are made of powerful magic circles, which will unleash powerful magical attacks once triggered; some magical creatures hide in dark corners, waiting for their prey to arrive.

Relying on their keen observation skills and powerful magic, Ling Xiao and his companions repeatedly avoided traps and defeated magical creatures. During one of their explorations, they came across a huge cave.

The cave was filled with a pungent odor, and the ground was covered with strange crystals.

Alice used wind magic to disperse some of the scent, and the group cautiously entered the cave.

They discovered that the crystals inside the cave seemed to have some connection to the power of the demon god; these crystals emitted a faint black light, as if absorbing the surrounding magical energy.

David used earth magic to try and detect if any secrets were hidden beneath the crystal. He discovered a huge cavity beneath the crystal, within which a powerful force seemed to be surging.

Ling Xiao guessed that the magic key might be hidden in this cavity.

The latest novel is first published here!

The group decided to venture deeper into the cave to investigate. They followed the narrow, winding passages, and strange noises echoed around them.

At the end of the passage, they saw a door radiating a black light, with a huge magic circle engraved on it. Ling Xiao and the others knew that the magic key was likely behind that door…

Ling Xiao and the others stood before the door that emitted a black light, their hearts filled with both tension and anticipation.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath to calm his excitement, and then stretched out his hand, slowly channeling magic into his wand. The gem at the top of the wand shone brightly, echoing the magic circle on the door.

At the same time, Alice, David, and Tom also cast their own spells, continuously channeling magical energy into the recipient.

As everyone poured their magic into it, the magic circle on the door shone even brighter. The originally complex runes seemed to be activated, slowly flowing and emitting a soft buzzing sound.

Suddenly, a dull tremor came from the door, and then it slowly opened to both sides.

A gust of wind, old yet imbued with a strong magical aura, swept over them. Everyone instinctively gripped their weapons, watching the situation behind the door with vigilance.

Behind the door was a huge cave space, completely different from the passage they had passed through before.

Strange crystals are embedded in the cave walls, emitting a faint black light that makes the entire cave appear eerie and mysterious.

The cave ceiling is covered with stalactites of various shapes, some long and sharp like blades that may fall at any moment; others thick and solid like giant pillars supporting the sky and earth.

The ground is covered with a complex array of stalagmites, some resembling ferocious monsters with bared fangs and claws, others like graceful dancers with lithe figures, yet all appearing particularly eerie and terrifying in this strange atmosphere.

Holding his magic wand, Ling Xiao cautiously stepped into the cave, taking each step with extreme care, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily.

Alice followed closely behind, wind magic flowing gently around her, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.

David lowered his hands slightly, establishing a close connection with the earth. Earth magic surged within him, allowing him to quickly erect defensive fortifications should danger arise.

Tom, meanwhile, was intently watching his teammates' condition, the power of healing magic gathering in his palms, ready to provide support to any injured teammates at any moment.

The group proceeded along the winding cave passages, with strange sounds echoing around them. Sometimes it was a deep roar, as if from an ancient behemoth slumbering deep within the cave; other times it was a sharp whistling sound, like some evil creature moving through the darkness.

Every sound made their nerves tense, and their hearts beat faster involuntarily.

As they ventured deeper into the cave, they discovered that the crystals emitting a black light became increasingly dense, and there seemed to be some mysterious connection between them, with the light intertwining to form strange beams of light and shadow.

Ling Xiao approached a larger crystal and examined it closely. He discovered that there seemed to be some blurry images flowing inside the crystal, like fragments of memory sealed within.

He reached out and gently touched the crystal. A chilling sensation instantly spread throughout his body. At the same time, fragmented images flashed through his mind: the enormous figure of the demon god loomed in the darkness, surrounded by a chaotic battlefield where magical light and black mist intertwined, and the screams of people echoed endlessly.

Ling Xiao abruptly withdrew his hand, a sense of horror washing over him. He realized that these crystals were likely closely related to the power of the Demon God and the past wars.

Just then, Alice, who was walking at the front of the group, suddenly stopped and said with a serious expression, "Everyone be careful. I sense a powerful magical fluctuation ahead, and this fluctuation is accompanied by a dense dark aura."

Everyone immediately tensed up, assuming fighting stances. Ling Xiao gripped his wand tightly, his eyes resolute, and said, "Whatever lies ahead, we'll face it together."

Continuing on, they came to a spacious cave hall. In the center of the hall stood a huge stone platform, on which sat a box that emitted a faint glow.

The box was made of an unknown black metal, its surface engraved with intricate runes that shimmered with a faint light, as if telling ancient secrets.

Ling Xiao and the others slowly approached the stone platform. When they were a few steps away from the box, suddenly, black flames spewed from the walls around the hall, surrounding them completely.

The black flames emitted a pungent odor and were extremely hot, causing a burning sensation on everyone's faces.

At the same time, the ground around the stone platform began to shake violently, and skeleton warriors formed from black mist slowly rose from the ground.

These skeleton warriors wielded black weapons, their empty eye sockets glowing red, radiating a chilling aura.

David quickly cast earth magic, building a sturdy earthen wall around everyone to block the black flames. Alice, on the other hand, waved her hands, casting wind magic in an attempt to disperse the black flames.
