Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 69: Level 10 Leader, Royal Blood!

Sunrise, the fog dissipates.

The familiar sunlight streamed down, and Ling Xiao lowered his head, glancing at his watch.

It is now 8:00 AM on August 3, 1998 (Gregorian calendar).

The wind was weak and the temperature was slightly cool.

Today is also a good day for exploration.

There are many talented people in the channel, including college students with unconventional thinking within the guild.

Many people have offered a variety of unique insights and analyses regarding this time travel and the survival game that followed.

These ideas are imaginative yet grounded in reason, prompting readers to think deeply about them.

First and foremost is space and time.

The general consensus is that this is no longer the original planet.

Some experts, who are knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, even asserted that if the "sun" hanging in the sky were really a similar star, they would simply divide up half of the hanging dung and eat it!

Even with the naked eye, it's clear that the current "sun" is significantly larger.

And it even has three wheels!

What's even more outrageous is that they're too lazy to even turn!

If that were true, gravity would have torn the continent beneath our feet to dust long ago!

This is combined with a series of phenomena that defy common sense and common sense.

With their preconceived notions completely shattered, the remaining six thousand or so people in District 61035 have basically given up their illusions and begun to explore ways to survive.

Those who are slow to think, and those who are unlucky.

The outcome is self-evident.

It is worth noting that the list of guilds has already reached the top 100.

With a simple pull, most of the rooms are already full.

This means that nearly five-sixths of the survivors have joined guilds, and there may be more outside the rankings, so the exact number is likely even higher.

The prefix of a message sent in a channel can clearly illustrate the issue.

They're all handsome guys with guild titles.

Some of the unique "signs" made Ling Xiao exclaim "Good heavens!" and he himself became a conservative who kept saying "What a disgrace!"

When small groups are formed, friction and conflict arise.

Although the arguments currently only exist in the channel, it is enough to show that everyone has been angered and hostile by this strange world.

"Left hand, how did you get that?"

On the way to the grove, Qi Heng noticed Ling Xiao's severed finger, which he had forgotten to cover up when he was distracted.

His brow furrowed slightly, and his tone unusually angry, "You didn't tell me about something this big?! Let me see!"

Without trying to hide it, Ling Xiao smiled casually.

The more you try to hide it, the easier it is for Qi Heng to get to the bottom of it.

They made up a monster attack excuse and conveniently linked it to the explosion of the Thorn Ring.

Anyway, he didn't lie; he just concealed the most crucial Dream Curse.

Ling Xiao didn't want to involve Qi Heng, given the unimaginable horrors involved.

Even if the latter is the number one ranked player in terms of combat power, he himself, ranked second, is still powerless...

A small portion of the forest has already been cut down.

The three-piece set, priced low in the mall, is still too inefficient.

Fortunately, there was an "expert" in the guild with the talent of "craftsman" who managed to deduce improved blueprints for three tools through a series of operations.

Currently, the melting and forging furnace operates on a true "007" work schedule.

Even at night, someone sleeps next to them to replenish supplies at any time, with the main focus being "extreme wartime production efficiency".

The main reason Lingxiao was willing to leave the furnace in the base was that the guild could now open a shop!

The profits go directly to the warehouse, and everyone can view them in real time. Every transaction is recorded and statistically analyzed.

No more fear of being cheated or embezzled, or having kickbacks taken through double accounting!

The first to taste the crab was naturally [Qingshan Zhiguang].

Many products, including the improved iron spear, were put on the market one after another. Moreover, there was no high-priced, low-volume profiteering. In addition, the store had previously helped other guilds. As a result, the store rating never dropped below 4.9.

It can be said that it has achieved both a good reputation and high sales!

The influence of Ling Xiao and others is no longer limited to what is heard and seen in the channel or just within the guild.

Almost every explorer I've dealt with owes me a favor.

It doesn't seem to offer any real benefits.

But who can say for sure what the future holds...

Three poles in the sun.

Weird.

The sunlight hadn't changed much, but my watch indicated it was already past eleven.

have to say.

While it's too presumptuous to say that we should actively promote human initiative and transform nature, we are more than capable of managing this small grove of trees.

The hunting party's mission today is not to search for valuable burrows.

Completely eradicating this "monster-farming" area is the most important task for the entire guild.

How can I tolerate someone else snoring beside my bed?!

After being attacked for two consecutive nights, Ye Zhanqing and the other two concluded after analysis that the monsters mostly attacked from this direction, and that the invisible monster lived in this area, so there was likely a monster's nest in the forest.

evidence?

No need!

Once this forest is leveled, it will naturally appear.

It's okay if we make a mistake.

Just this forest and the resources inside make for a truly worthwhile harvest!

"One, two! Heave-ho!"

"Chopping down trees, you know! Hey!"

……

Amidst the shouts of laborers, swathes of trees fell.

Some monsters, having nowhere to hide, also launched a desperate charge against the group.

Ling Xiao conducted the selection process, with Qi Heng overseeing the process.

Higher-level or more dangerous targets were kept outside the cordon, and guild members only needed to deal with the remaining monsters.

In the past few days, Ling Xiao has finally figured out why some people can gain experience without killing monsters.

For example, a side quest might be triggered by chance, or a hidden class might be awakened.

You can become stronger by performing actions such as cutting down trees or making potions.

The reward mechanism is similar to that of casual players.

However, there are too many and too wide a range of possibilities, making it completely unnecessary to conduct statistics.

If someone in the guild hadn't confessed, who would have thought that you could gain experience points by fertilizing plants with urine?!

There's no trace to be found; we can only wait for it to trigger automatically.

That's absolutely unreasonable!

Fortunately, the majority of players in Aoyama no Kyoukai are still combat-oriented.

Under the deliberate cultivation and "feeding" of Qi Heng and the other two, although their level could not keep up with the top echelon, they were at the upper level of all explorers.

The guild's overall strength and resource reserves have grown rapidly during the process of clearing out the forest.

The condensed energy breaks through the physical body!

As he cleaved a Bladetonator in two, Ling Xiao casually grabbed a tough, long tongue.

The monster that launched its ambush from the grass suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented.

splat—

It crashed to the ground and shattered into a pool of blood and gore.

Before it died suddenly, it didn't even have time to tense its muscles.

Ling Xiao, despite being outnumbered, remained completely at ease.

His skills have been honed through real combat, and now his combat power is increasing every moment.

Now I understand a little better why people get so caught up in the thrill of wielding power...

Moreover, this kind of pure violence is the source of power.

The process of becoming increasingly powerful is simply irresistible!

"roar!"

blah-

Amidst the deafening roar of thunder, Qi Heng dodged and retreated swiftly.

The iron spear in his hand bent and almost broke in one strike, but fortunately he had more than twenty spares in his backpack.

With a casual gesture, another brand new one appears.

After trying several, Qi Heng still felt that this thing felt the most comfortable to hold.

He was prepared to make do with what he had until a new love came along.

The danger and pressure of the "Thunderous Ground" are too great.

Ordinary weapons can't withstand more than a few rounds of infusion, let alone when you have to fight monsters head-on. If the quality isn't good enough, you can only rely on quantity to hold your own.

"Brother Xiao! This thing's a bit tough! What do we do? Should we retreat first or try to tackle it head-on?"

A huge wild boar in the distance was digging frantically in the mud, preparing to charge.

The latest novel is first published here!

【LV10 Black Needle Pig King [Mutant] (Leader)】

[Racial Traits: Charge, Extremely Short Reproduction, Unlimited Appetite, Gluttony (Limited), Iron Bones (Limited), Royal Blood (Limited)]

[Racial Skills: Fearless Charge, Mud Armor, Back Spike Barrage, Howl of Kin (Limited), Wrath of the Lost Child (Limited)]

[Individual Attributes: Strength 12/Agility 8/Constitution 12]

[Individual Description: Leaders are extremely rare, and the Black Needle Boar King, whose racial bloodline has been reawakened, is even rarer! Its monstrous attack, defense, health, and regeneration are all terrifyingly powerful! Hunters? No! You are nothing but a bunch of challengers who will soon be fleeing in disarray!]

"What's the point of fighting now!"

"You've been scraping for ages and not even getting any blood, how are you going to puncture it?!"

Ling Xiao rolled to his feet from the bushes he had knocked over, his eyes filled with burning fighting spirit.

But he shouted from the bottom of his heart, "You guys go first! Brother Dao and I will cover the rear!"

The others didn't hesitate and immediately made their escape.

Being pretentious is truly a bad thing!

If you keep pushing and refusing, then let's all stay and die together!

The LV10 Black Needle Pig King, with its two crimson eyes amidst its bulging flesh, paid no attention to the others who were evacuating.

He stared intently at Ling Xiao, who was unharmed, and Qi Heng, who showed no fear but rather excitement.

Its instincts told it that these two were the two most threatening enemies.

In the exchange just now, it was these two who inflicted the most wounds on it.

It's a bit of an insult to say that it's broken or fractured, but even a scratch counts as an injury!

It hasn't had any external injuries in a long time!

But the Black Needle Pig King only scratched the ground with its hind hooves, accumulating strength.

Ling Xiao knew very well why this incredibly powerful BOSS didn't take the initiative to attack.

His gaze swept over the person behind him.

Several wet, blood-tinged little heads wobbled, eagerly searching for the sweet milk.

tsk...

Troublesome...

Who would have thought that this BOSS is not only a rare boss king, but also a sow that has just given birth?!

As the saying goes, first comes the pig, second the bear, and third the tiger.

Especially sows, bears, and tigers with piglets—they can be incredibly ruthless when they start fighting.

Every move is aimed at blowing your skull open.

Even if you don't provoke it, it will still come up and take a couple of bites to taste the saltiness!

If it weren't for the fact that she had just given birth, and perhaps because she was taking care of her cubs or was weak after giving birth, why would she have dawdled for so long?

They rushed in headlong!

I've run over these annoying food animals!

A delicate balance has been reached between the two sides.

However, Ling Xiao had no intention of continuing the hunt; otherwise, he wouldn't have ordered the others to retreat so decisively.

The ground was littered with the corpses of more than a dozen ordinary pig monsters.

However, it's not appropriate to run over and put it in the backpack in front of the leader right now.

After the sounds of the evacuation gradually faded away, and another noise grew increasingly agitated, Ling Xiao took a deep look at the LV10 Black Needle Pig King and decisively retreated.

The other person's younger brother has returned.

If they don't leave now, they might be the ones who get surrounded and killed!

Brushing off the dry twigs and leaves, Qi Heng chuckled leisurely, "My god! I didn't expect there to be such a big catch in this forest!"

"Brother Xiao, run or fight?"

As Ling Xiao hurried along, he answered without hesitation, "Is LV10 that powerful? Did we go all out before it even got to its full potential?"

"I know the base can recover resources and rebuild elsewhere, but how much time will be lost with each take-back and release? Besides, there's no absolute safety anywhere!"

"High risk, high reward! At least this boss isn't insurmountable! We're human, and our brains are our best weapon! Let's go back and plan this carefully!"

The two, weary from their journey, returned to their camp and, without resting, immediately summoned the guild's "elite" members for a small meeting.

The staff includes three presidents; money managers such as Su Jinxi; senior technicians such as "Craftsmen"; support staff such as strong medics; Pu Shi, a group-buying expert; and Pan Hong, who lost his beloved pig...

The number of people is small, and it is in its initial stage.

The overall structure is almost complete.

This LV10 BOSS is not only a challenge facing the entire guild, but also a rare "test".

Without any formalities like standing up or bowing, Ling Xiao started directly.

"We should have already done the analysis. As explorers, the right approach is to gather intelligence and then respond flexibly."

"In the past, these were all skirmishes, but this time it's a large-scale operation mobilizing the entire guild! Everyone must speak freely, and say whatever ideas you have. Even seemingly absurd ideas might play a big role!"

Ye Zhanqing was the first to raise her hand, "Let me start the discussion!"

"The biggest difference between this boss and previous ones is its series of [limited] talents and skills!"

"We've never seen anything like this with any of the boss monsters we've encountered before! So I believe the Pig King's biggest problem lies in these restrictions. As for the specific effects, they're not entirely unpredictable; before..."

……

The discussion was heated, with orders being issued frequently, and guild members then hurriedly began preparations.

High health, high defense, capable of both charging and shooting, numerous minions, low health and a high probability of going berserk...

This monster was practically born to kill.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao and his team consulted with the other members and, through brainstorming, temporarily finalized a battle plan.

The LV10 Black Needle Pig King is indeed tough and thick-skinned; even Qi Heng's heavily fortified Thunder Pool could barely break through its defenses.

Although the latter did not use his full strength, it was just a serious strike.

But even the boss-level monsters from the past, even if they survived, still had some holes left in them!

It's barely a scratch, how many layers of mud are wrapped around it?

This is no ordinary BOSS. To defeat it, we must use special methods to strike hard!

The main force of the hunting team has been adjusted.

Members with the ability to influence souls will serve as the main attacking force.

The leader was naturally Ling Xiao.

The raging winds and flames cannot harm the soul, but the blazing sun can!

It might only be moderately effective against other people.

But if the target is a monster, then the power of the blazing sun will have to show what true divine might is!

The Great Sun vanquishes the demons!

It's a bit of an exaggeration, but as a derivative talent, [Radiant Sunburst] has been forced by Ling Xiao to reach the peak of ordinary quality!

The true fangs of the gluttonous heart began to be revealed.

Ling Xiao has now passed the most difficult "starting from scratch" stage.

Reaching LV8 grants an additional slot.

For now, it's temporarily equipped with the [thick skin and flesh] of the black needle pig.

The effect was passable, and it sounded like a cheap imitation of "steel and iron bones".

He really wanted to collect a limited edition.

Ideally, it would be "Royal Bloodline," that sounds so cool!

Of course, Ling Xiao would not mind if the first two were revealed!

So...

set off!
