Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 34: A noblewoman? A ghost woman!

A change in quality can suddenly open up a whole new world!

The five existing derivative talents are: nocturnal animal, environmental adaptation, soul resistance, mental disorder, and rapid regeneration.

Among them, the abilities of nocturnal animals and soul resistance had already reached their limits.

The former is the result of merging and devouring many talents with similar attributes. After all, monsters that roam around at night all have similar talents to some extent.

The latter was due to the Soul Badger family getting a good drop, with several identical soul resistances directly maxing out the progress.

The shackles have now been broken.

Although both are still of "inferior quality", Ling Xiao can sense that as long as he consumes some nutrients, they will become his first batch of ordinary-level derivative talents!

At that time, the talent tree strategy of the Gluttonous Heart will truly show its brilliance!

Admiring his successfully upgraded innate talent in the talent bar with great satisfaction, Ling Xiao suddenly slapped his thigh.

I almost forgot about the takeout I brought back!

They hurriedly went to look for it.

Fortunately, the level 5 wolf king is really resilient.

One cut ended its suffering.

Congratulations on successfully defeating the 'Mutant - Shadow Wolf [Elite]'!

[Talent plundering in progress... Current success rate 95.9%...]

[Plunder successful! Talent - [Shadow Stealth (Normal)] is ready!]

[The Heart of Gluttony] absorbs trace amounts of nutrients, resulting in a slight improvement in quality!

As an engineering major who spends a lot of time in the lab, Ling Xiao is very sensitive to changes in numbers.

Previously, when I killed monsters and used the Loot talent, the success rate was generally above 90%.

Starting with the Fallen Corpse, and including the later Phantom Demon and Human-Faced Spider, the success rate of these three was only slightly over 80%.

Of course, it's not low.

Such a significant change was enough to give Ling Xiao pause for thought.

"As expected, the Gluttonous Heart skill is also affected by the target's talent. Will the success rate be even lower, or even fail, in the future?"

Ling Xiao pondered as he processed the prepared talent.

After the Gluttonous Heart is upgraded, the talents plundered can be retained for a longer time even if there are no slots available.

[Shadow Stealth] and [Nocturnal Animal] have been successfully fused! [Night Shadow Stealth (Normal)] is now equipped!

[Night Shadow Stealth: When in the dark, Agility and Perception are each increased by 1 point; Movement and Aura points significantly reduce their impact on the outside world; Movement becomes more difficult to detect.]

"They want me to be an assassin!"

With a sigh, Ling Xiao accepted his first ordinary-level derivative talent with satisfaction.

They casually tossed the wolf king's corpse into the safe zone.

He prepared to set off to bring back the remaining wolf carcasses.

I was in a hurry when I left, and my backpack was completely full!

I thought that with money I could open 100, 1000, or even 10,000 item slots, but after opening 10 new slots, my backpack showed that I needed to reach level 10 to continue expanding.

It's true that you have money but can't spend it!

They're all materials, after all; we can't waste them!

The torches have been refreshed.

Ling Xiao had just entered the gray fog and hadn't taken more than a few steps when suddenly the hairs on his body stood on end!

With Night Shadow Stealth automatically activated, coupled with the significant enhancement of perception from Monster Hunter, he vaguely sensed something attached to his back!

They were very close, very close!

Just by reaching out...

Hey!

That's a damn hand!

Ling Xiao's scalp tingled as if it were about to explode, and his body trembled slightly with fear—a reaction he hadn't shown in a long time.

Even if it's the first time you face a monster, even if you encounter a terrifyingly corrupted zombie, even if you experience a life-or-death crisis!

He had never felt so terrified and helpless before, and he couldn't even muster the thought of fighting back!

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a long, slender hand touching his left shoulder, as if it were wrapped in black gauze, or even the nails were painted jet black.

The chill, like countless tiny venomous snakes, crept up his arm and crawled toward his stiff left hand that was gripping the torch.

"It wants to put out the fire!?"

"It knows what this thing is!?"

Something touched Ling Xiao's right shoulder as well.

At the same time, a faint fragrance, like orchids and musk, wafted from behind, seemingly blurring the small space.

Elegant, noble, mysterious...

It was as if a beautiful, elegant, tall, and voluptuous noblewoman had placed her arms around him from behind.

She wanted to wrap her arms around her lover's neck and whisper intimate words in his ear.

How could Ling Xiao, who was sweating profusely, possibly immerse himself in the role?!

What kind of noblewoman is this?

What does it mean to be able to come and go freely in the gray fog?

Only a monster among monsters!

She's clearly a ghost woman!!

"Get moving! Get moving! We can't let her put out the fire!"

Just as Ling Xiao was struggling against the stiffness in his body and his gradually fading consciousness, a soft question rang in his ear.

"Huh? You're not a lost soul, and you're not even a heartless person!? Who are you!?"

It exploded...

Ling Xiao was truly furious this time...

"The monster can talk...it has sentience!? How am I supposed to play this game!? I'm going to become a toy!!"

In his despair, Ling Xiao was overjoyed to discover that his teeth could actually move!

Without the slightest hesitation, he bit his tongue hard!

He didn't know if this method would work, but at least it was better than waiting to die!

A sharp pain shot through him, and the air was thick with the smell of blood.

At the same time, the thorn ring on her hand seemed to have finally "woke up".

The latest novel is first published here!

The stinging sensation struck right to the soul.

If the previous warnings were like pricking with a needle, then this equipment is now as "urgent" as if it's being vigorously pounded with a large iron hammer.

At this moment, Ling Xiao was in so much pain that he was "grimacing" but he was also overjoyed!

Correct!

It hurts that much!

Let’s go!

The pain that comes from the soul means that I have escaped from that state of ignorance!

This superb piece of equipment, in response to the pressure, launched its strongest counterattack ever!

Ling Xiao, however, had no intention of launching a sudden attack from behind.

Not at all.

The power gap is too great.

Compared to this, the tricks of the Illusionary Demon are utterly insignificant!

He has absolutely no desire to fight back now; his only plan is to escape!

Although I don't know how the other party appeared or how they ambushed me, I only need two steps to run back to the safe zone!

Even if it's just a legendary afterimage, no monster seems to be able to intrude upon the divine embers!

"Little guy, you're being naughty."

The soft, gentle voice seemed to be whispering in my ear.

Ling Xiao could even feel the comfort of the warm breath brushing against the hairs on his earlobes.

But the more this happened, the deeper his heart sank...

it's over...

It feels like even a short walk is an insurmountable barrier...

A certain power is about to descend upon him.

Even Ling Xiao himself only had a vague feeling, but could not actually perceive that it would attack his physical body and soul.

And both at the same time...

It's too advanced and too profound.

Only the thorn ring emitted a final, resounding cry!

boom!

This rare piece of soul armor allows you to complete a set of excellent-grade equipment and choose to launch a final resistance under unbearable pressure!

It exploded immediately!

Along with that severed finger, it turned into dust!

The excruciating pain in both body and soul struck simultaneously, causing Ling Xiao's vision to go black and nearly causing his legs to buckle and he to collapse.

But, his legs and feet can still move!

Still unaware of the situation, Ling Xiao, driven only by his survival instinct, seized the fleeting moment and took the final step.

The gray fog dissipated.

Having narrowly escaped death, Ling Xiao fell to the ground in a disheveled state.

It was precisely at the edge that the campfire could illuminate.

Did they escape back...?

Ling Xiao, who had survived the ordeal, raised his hand in a daze.

My fingers, which were once quite long, are now reduced to only four fingers.

Broken bone fragments, shredded flesh, and even the nearby fingers were injured by the explosion.

But at least I survived...

Ling Xiao's gaze involuntarily shifted upwards, but he suddenly opened his eyes wide, still feeling lingering fear.

The gray fog dissipated again.

A graceful figure appeared before him.

"Wow! A handsome young man, what an interesting little fellow. I'm becoming more and more interested in you..."

Happy Qixi Festival! Whether you're in a relationship or not, I hope you're all happy!

I won't be changing it anymore. The private scenes between Lin Lu and the protagonist have been deleted. If you have any opinions, I'll skip those parts. If there's anything wrong with it, just say so, and I'll delete it if I can.
