Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 45: The Final Mission Begins!

Inside the forging furnace, flames surged.

The iron spear, which could be forged from just two pieces of ore, was exchanged for wood and stone through market activities and returned to Lingxiao's backpack.

The other explorers are not fools either.

Whether used personally or donated to the guild, these common resources are showing their value under the pressure of survival, and their prices have increased significantly compared to the nighttime prices.

Fortunately, Lingxiao controlled the production of iron spears, maintaining a supply shortage.

Draining the pond to catch all the fish is not a good idea.

Moreover, according to his observation, other shops have already started selling weapons in bulk.

Ling Xiao was quite content with having earned so many copper coins by chance, and it was time to find the next promising opportunity for the Treasure Bowl.

The income from selling iron spears was roughly equivalent to the expenditure on purchasing resources, and the savings remained almost unchanged.

It's even increasing slightly.

[Owl: "Is the base built as soon as the conditions are met, or will it take several hours to build?"]

[Bayi Cleaver: "It'll take five hours. Adding extra resources can speed it up. By the way, Brother Xiao, take this!"]

[Pu Dao]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Requirements: Strength 3, Agility 4]

[Special Effect: Toughness (More difficult to damage than ordinary weapons)]

[Review: This is a fairly good broadsword, sturdy and durable enough. You can confidently handle most battles with it without worrying about it failing at crucial moments.]

There's nothing to be sentimental about.

Ling Xiao accepted it immediately and then sent a portion of the acquired resources over.

[81 Cleaver: "Alright! Brother Xiao, with you, this big shot, in charge, our guild has won at the starting line!"]

[Owl: "Hey! You're calling me bald, huh? By the way, what kind of hideout did you raid? Why are you got so many weapons?!"]

[Ba Yi Cleaver: "Hehe! Lucky me, I ran into a level 5 boss monster, took a bit of effort to kill it! It seems like there's a high chance of finding a treasure chest near these kinds of monsters..."]

After some discussion, Ling Xiao also added information about the monster rarity classification.

Currently, from lowest to highest, the levels are: Common, Elite, and Leader.

Moreover, the level is not actually closely related to the rarity.

Just like the monsters that Brother Dao killed, the highest one was a level 6 elite, but it still obeyed the orders of the leader.

[Xiao: "Including the direct acquisitions, we should be able to count them before 2 PM. Do we need to get some more to expedite the process?"]

[Bayi Cleaver: "No need! You've already spent enough. We can't let others just sit back and reap the benefits, can we? We need to at least let them feel involved. It's time to cultivate the cohesion of our guild."]

[Xiao: "Okay, you handle it. I need to level up quickly too."]

……

After explaining the guild's affairs.

Ling Xiao put away the forging furnace and the seven iron-core shields that had fallen to the ground.

As the saying goes, a balance of offense and defense is the key to victory!

The shield blueprints I acquired at a low price last night have been put into practice since my spear skills have stalled.

Thanks to the experience gained from the iron spear, the initial forging had a 30% success rate.

However, Ling Xiao had no intention of selling.

He had a deeper understanding of this matter.

With his strong support, the guild base should be completed before nightfall tonight, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

With unfamiliar yet familiar "classmates" gathering, I might have to recruit my future team.

Anyway, you should keep some good stuff on hand, just in case you need it urgently...

I looked up at the sky.

Ling Xiao found it strange.

Have those three suns rotated...?

Or did the angle shift after I moved?

Why do they feel as rigid as incandescent light bulbs fixed to the ceiling?

The shadow beneath my feet remained huddled tightly together.

There are too many strange questions that I can’t figure out, fortunately Ling Xiao doesn’t have the habit of getting stuck in a rut.

Let's focus on what's in front of us first!

Acquired the broadsword.

This two-handed sword, shorter than a long weapon but longer than a short weapon, is not so "orthodox," but it is very comfortable to use.

It can be used with one hand, but it's even better with two hands.

The handle was wrapped in dark linen, but the blade was polished to a gleaming shine!

It is about 1.5 meters long, with the blade and handle each taking up half of the length.

I swung it around and slashed a few times; it felt pretty good in my hand, but it looked light and flimsy, not very sturdy.

However, with the [Resilience] trait, Lingxiao can unleash his power at will.

"Great weapon! Perfect for a complete novice like me who knows nothing!"

Setting off again.

The flashing of blades continued unabated.

Practice while walking.

With the help of the [Weapon Master] skill, Ling Xiao's mastery and use of the broadsword became increasingly satisfactory.

After taking up his post, Ling Xiao originally planned to take advantage of the last period of trial time to level up quickly.

But as soon as he stepped out the door, that damned Duchess blocked his way, and not only did he lose a finger, he almost died outside!

That's it!

The latest novel is first published here!

Even if you escape back to the safe zone, you can't escape the cursed fate!

This resulted in Ling Xiao not being proficient in the various abilities of [Monster Hunter].

It has hidden classes, but I haven't really mastered the game yet!

Killing that nest of beetles was just a small test of their abilities.

Now that Ember of Glory has been tested, it's time to find some strong opponents to test my true combat strength in real battle.

[A dungeon of moderate overall level, possibly containing monsters, treasures...]

"Just right... that means it's already a threat to me!"

The Eye of Detection cannot fully detect the dangers of the underground cave; one must enter in person to find out.

Even without using Ember of Light to deal with the BOSS, Lingxiao could have cleared that lower-level dungeon without taking any damage!

It's a bit more difficult now, but the changes aren't that significant!

We can't just choose the safest hole to go down into, can we?

It is important to understand that risks and opportunities coexist.

This risk is worth taking!

That being said, without the safety zone as a backup, Ling Xiao became even more cautious in his actions.

Before entering the cave, make sure your stats are maxed out!

He gulped down several bottles of medicine.

With a snap of his fingers, Ling Xiao burst into the relatively spacious underground cave, wielding a knife in both hands.

……

Whoosh!

The black shadow shooting through the air tried to swerve, but it still couldn't escape.

He ran headlong into a gleaming broadsword that "just happened" to appear!

Lingxiao had only taken a few steps after entering the cave when he encountered a monster blocking his way.

A bunch of flying mice!

Countless blood squirrels flew in from all directions, forming an inescapable "fire net".

Lacking area-of-effect damage skills, Ling Xiao simply activated his crowd control abilities!

The Embers of Light consumed spiritual power to intimidate the demons, while the Blood Squirrels, whose speed was forced to slow down, were generally unable to withstand a single blow due to their level 1 physique.

The broadsword, wielded with a swirling, whirlwind of blades, splashes forth a torrent of blood and gore.

The effects of [Hunting Frenzy] and [Bloodlust] refresh every second.

This will subtly adapt Ling Xiao's mind and body to this brutal, one-sided slaughter!

Even monsters must falter before even more terrifying monsters.

It's instinct.

At least the Rock Wall Blood Flying Squirrel hasn't mutated to the point of becoming more excited the more of its companions die.

After slaying the last three attacking monsters, Ling Xiao gasped for breath and wiped the blood splattered on his face.

The pinnacle of swordsmanship.

As the saying goes: airtight, impenetrable!

It sounds good, but he can't do it yet.

Therefore, Ling Xiao was covered in filth from head to toe, looking as if he had been pulled out of a slaughterhouse.

The dense swarm of blood squirrels was not completely wiped out.
