Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 77, Section 076: Killing the Tyrant, Awakening the Main Profession

The watch and map were interfered with here and could not be used.

The exact date is unknown, but it was definitely not midnight.

Because the survival countdown in the taskbar shows there are still more than seven hours left.

In other words, in less than five hours, Ling Xiao had completed half of the basic content, and the additional content was also in the works.

Lickers and skinless creatures are generally killed if they encounter a lone individual.

Even the wicked butcher was killed by him.

Having proven his combat prowess, Ling Xiao is now fearless against any monster except for the Tyrant and bosses filled with question marks!

Return to the battlefield where you just killed the Corrupted Butcher.

Those three unlucky guys had already run away, and they didn't dare touch their spoils.

I doubt they'd dare. Ling Xiao has memorized their "pheromones." Anyone who dares to steal his goods is truly courting death and won't be able to leave alive.

Besides the filthy blood and the cursed gold coins, the bizarrely shaped giant axe was also among the monster's loot.

To be precise, this thing was originally one with the corrupted butcher, and now it has incorporated some of the remaining characteristics, transforming into a special material.

The kind that can be used to forge weapons.

However, Ling Xiao couldn't do it himself, and the forging furnace was powerless. He could only gather a few similar materials and go to a professional like a [Craftsman] to try.

The night is still long.

After all those battles, I need to rest.

It's a good opportunity to take a closer look at the two talents and loot we previously plundered.

【Killing Frenzy (Normal): When you deal damage, your Strength gains a percentage increase; when you get a kill, all your attributes gain a percentage increase; no cooldown, stacks up to 30%】

【Soul Control (Normal): After defeating a monster, you can condense and absorb its remnant soul, which can then be used to fight. The condensation probability and initial strength increase with the quality level.】

The former is a very powerful combat-oriented talent, while the latter is a support-oriented one.

However, if used properly, it can still be used in many creative ways.

The Koreans and the Japanese each had three items explode on their bodies.

Ling Xiao had previously observed the Koreans, but their luck wasn't great; they only had three useless items.

Or perhaps that guy wasn't anything special to begin with.

This beautiful female ghost is different.

The equipment consisted of a pair of earrings, which were neither fish nor fowl and were of little use. Since Ling Xiao couldn't sell them now, he simply threw them back into his backpack.

But the skills and items are pretty good!

A hidden weapon technique skill called "Swallow's Embrace"; a cloth bag that can generate clean underwear daily.

Don't underestimate the latter.

Upon arriving in this eerie world, the problems of food and drink are temporarily absent, but finding a toilet and changing clothes are unavoidable challenges for every explorer.

Now that he has this, Ling Xiao can not only wear one and throw one away, but he can even sell one to the store every day and it will be a huge success!

There's no way around it, the richest man's business acumen is just that sharp!

I found a villa and cleaned up the monsters inside.

Ling Xiao went to the washroom. The power was off, but there was still water. After rinsing off and changing into clean underwear, he felt much better.

If he weren't currently not experiencing any stomach upset, he would definitely have to revisit the flush toilet of the civilized world!

Recharge the longsword.

This thing is also consumed, so you have to keep an eye on the spiritual energy inside to make sure it doesn't fall below a certain threshold, otherwise some of the "functions" won't work and that would be ridiculous.

The backpack contained consumables, showing no intention of being economical.

Ling Xiao uses them whenever he needs them, since he can buy them with money after he leaves, and some of them are even made internally by members of [Light of Green Mountain].

Well-developed organizations will naturally enjoy these implicit benefits.

Having regrouped and fully recovered, including his mental state, Lingxiao is ready to continue the hunt.

Perhaps sensing the impending arrival of the main class, and fearing it might "lose favor," Monster Hunter is putting in extra effort in this dungeon.

We've now figured out the weaknesses of most of the monsters.

Ling Xiao is now killing with incredible ease.

On the long street, a bloody storm poured down on the monsters' heads. These creatures that had brought disaster in the past were now fish and shrimp waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping block.

Jumping in vain will only invite Ling Xiao's more violent attack!

Duang——

A small truck that was blocking the middle of the road was smashed open, and countless little yellow ducks ran out of the crack.

The massive axe blade got stuck inside, though the LV16 Corrupted Butcher pulled it out quite easily.

But how could Ling Xiao miss such a slight delay!?

Turning around and rising up, the bonus from the killing spree has been maximized in the accumulated damage!

At this moment, Ling Xiao's power, amplified by various factors, far exceeded his usual level!

The blade flashed out a perfect, dazzling arc of fire.

The surging, powerful energy and the blazing sun energy are skillfully combined, and after being tempered and refined, they burst forth with the most powerful and yang energy!

bass--

One strike to the head!

The axe blade had just been pulled out of the carriage when the head at the very top of that tall body flew off its neck at an angle.

[Talent plundering in progress... Current success rate 89.5%...]

[Plunder successful! Talent - [Execution Declaration (Normal)] equipped!]

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

Lingxiao landed and noticed the huge creature still swaying beside him was getting in his way, so he gently kicked it to help it fall asleep.

Another golden light appeared in the taskbar.

Following the Lickers and the Skinless Ones, the most troublesome and difficult monsters encountered so far—the Corrupted Butchers—were also killed off by Ling Xiao on the spot, thus completing the required number.

I've contributed two [Slaughter Frenzy] attacks, and now I've personally experienced the [Execution Declaration].

I checked the results, and they're pretty good.

Similar to Guan Yu's feat of taking Yan Liang's head amidst a vast army, one would not only need the Red Hare, a high-speed means of transportation, for both surprise attacks and escape.

You must also shout loudly to shock the enemy and prevent them from reacting, leaving them rooted to the spot and ready to be stabbed.

The effect of a "declaration of execution" is even more tangible.

Because Ling Xiao had genuinely felt the surrounding air confining and squeezing him, forcing him to face the impending killing blow head-on.

This corrupt butcher's strength is truly excessive.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao is no normal player either. If others encountered [Execution Declaration] combined with [Slay], they would probably be beheaded. Being able to break through the deadlock under such stun conditions is surely a demonstration of ability.

"The capable should do more..."

Ling Xiao turned his head and looked over. "But did we really need to arrange things so densely?"

A fleeting glimpse!

【LV18 Tyrant [Filthy Species] (Leader)】

[Racial Traits: Ruthless Will, Endless Fury, Unyielding Body, Destructive Lust, Domineering Roar (Limited)]

[Racial Skills: Thunder Strike, Death Stomp, Berserk Attack, Grip of Destruction, Super Armor, Charge]

[Individual Attributes: Strength 25/Agility 14/Constitution 22]

[Individual Description: Tyrants are modified combat Primarchs possessing superhuman physical combat abilities. These monsters are known for their ruthless fighting style and insatiable destructive urges. Every Tyrant's attack is filled with devastating power, and their appearance often foreshadows disaster.]

Ok……

So what if I figured it out!

Shouldn't they give an award to the designer who redesigned it?

And why not just go straight to LV20? Who are you trying to disgust by leaving LV18 here?!

If the experience bar hadn't been locked, Ling Xiao could have leveled up a few more times, which would have made the fight against this heavyweight BOSS much more promising.

Even though he was only at LV10, Ling Xiao had no intention of leaving.

come all come...

Besides, the fact that its name is listed in the taskbar means that the system believes the explorer can kill this guy.

If it's a situation where death is inevitable, why bother specifying the required number?

Moreover, Ling Xiao has developed a sharp edge through long battles.

We dare to draw our swords when facing an enemy!

Even I, who has awakened the [Monster Hunter] ability, can't handle this monster, so who else can hunt it?

The earth rumbled and shook as the tyrant, standing about two and a half meters tall, charged straight at Ling Xiao!

Seeing this, Ling Xiao, whose fighting style has always been rather aggressive, chose a different approach in this great battle.

boom--

All the vehicles blocking the road were blown away, while a figure nimbly weaved through the stopped traffic, calmly heading towards a certain location despite the heavy footsteps behind him getting closer and closer.

closer, closer...

right here!

Without being directly propelled, Ling Xiao continued to flee forward.

But he timed it perfectly, and just as the tyrant was about to arrive at a certain place, he suddenly turned around and shot several crudely made hidden weapons!

Ding Ding Ding!

Bang!

A huge flame shot into the sky. Modern cities have no shortage of cars, and even more so, no shortage of fuel!

Those vehicles have too small fuel tanks; a tanker truck would be much more powerful!

Back in the modern world, Ling Xiao naturally had to make use of whatever he could.

No guns or explosives were found.

Fortunately, this firecracker was loud enough!

Standing on the roof of a sports car, Ling Xiao stared at the flames that had engulfed half the street, and dark shadows gradually emerged from within them.

Tearing off the cumbersome armor, revealing exaggerated yet muscular iron-gray muscles, the tyrant's already bald head seemed to be tinged with heat by the firelight.

It got angry...

With his boundless rage ignited, Ling Xiao is about to face the true BOSS...

The rabbit leaped and landed, continuing its run. There were too many vehicles and the streets were too narrow; it wasn't a good place to fight.

We need to find a terrain that's advantageous to us and give this guy a lesson on the sixteen-character mantra of guerrilla warfare!

Debris flew everywhere, and bricks and stones shattered.

This is a rather luxurious school; it seems that those who previously studied here were all from wealthy and influential families.

However, Ling Xiao is currently leading the tyrant to destroy the fifth grade from the first grade.

Large swathes of buildings collapsed, crashing onto the seemingly tireless behemoth behind them.

Unfortunately, no matter how eccentric a tyrant may be, he is still a living being.

Ling Xiao has an amazing memory. Not only is he slippery and escaping, but he is also using various "objects" along the way to wear down the tyrant!

Its talent and skills have been used many times in this cat-and-mouse game, and now its stamina has declined.

Ling Xiao judged this change by the frequency with which he took his medicine.

The more they chase, the faster they drink.

Now, it's time to fight back!

The latest novel is first published here!

After smashing through another wall, the tyrant once again lost sight of the little "mouse."

The next moment, a long sword came hurtling down from directly above!

Ling Xiao, who had somehow entered a stealth state, was so audacious as to ambush the Tyrant on its inevitable path!

clang--

The blade made contact with the skin, and a sound like metal colliding with stone echoed back from it.

Making a shallow cut is already the greatest harm.

Although Ling Xiao didn't inflict full damage due to issues with his exertion, the resilience of this physique still exceeded his expectations...

Boom—

The tyrant's counterattack was also quite swift. Almost at the same time that Ling Xiao drew his sword and retreated, his two enormous iron fists slammed into the ceiling in a sky-supporting posture.

Sparks flew all over the tyrant's body. Ling Xiao remained still until he unleashed a furious and devastating attack!

Moreover, he could also distract himself by directing an equally enormous monster spirit to pounce directly onto the tyrant's face.

It was one of the corrupted butchers we had recruited before!

Lingxiao doesn't need it to deal damage; it only needs it to withstand the ensuing counterattacks!

One move is enough!

The tyrant had no feelings or thoughts, but it sensed a familiarity with the creature before it.

Even if a truly corrupt butcher appeared and blocked its path.

That would only result in being torn to shreds!

It may seem like there's only a two-level difference, but the level of life and the placement level on a certain list are two pages apart!

Disconnect.

Ling Xiao ignored the rare high-level spirit; at this moment, he could only rely on himself.

That's enough!

With twin blades drawn, a devastating barrage of slashes erupted from the tyrant's defenseless chest and abdomen!

The latter's arms were busy tearing the corrupt butcher, this "traitor," apart. In just a short while, he had already been stabbed more than three times.

He lifted his foot and stomped down hard!

Death trampling!

In a moment of desperation, it made the optimal solution.

This is certainly a good way to change the current situation, but Ling Xiao has been waiting for this moment!

Throughout the chase and brief encounters, he hadn't figured out the Tyrant's obvious weaknesses, but he had completely figured out some of his skills' wind-up animations and casting conditions!

Whenever this creature's vision is obstructed and it is attacked, it will use this area-of-effect control skill to retaliate.

It's really easy to use.

Even if Ling Xiao had anticipated this, he could only dodge and was unable to continue attacking him.

But as he entered, he glanced at the school's architectural plans.

Although this place is only one floor, there is an underground storage room below!

Smoke and dust filled the air, and the floor collapsed.

The strength was sufficient; it could withstand even if a tyrant rushed over.

If they can unleash their skills, then they won't be able to withstand the attacks!

It was nearly three meters tall, but now only its head is visible above the ground.

Lingxiao, who went and returned, finally created the perfect output environment!

As the blade flashed, a violent barrage of attacks rained down on the tyrant's head.

With a roar, it grabbed the sides with both hands and pulled itself out of the collapsed basement.

A long sword containing 50% spiritual energy was thrust into the patient's mouth at that moment.

Then, without hesitation, he let go and detonated!

The psionic storm and the explosive burst of qi rose up together, completely destroying the tyrant's hard head.

Only when wisps of eerie blue light flew out of the hole did Ling Xiao finally collapse onto the storage cabinet next to him with a sigh of relief.

[Talent plundering in progress... Current success rate 89.5%...]

[Plunder successful! Talent - [Endless Fury (Normal)] equipped!]

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

As he walked out of the dilapidated teaching building, Ling Xiao examined a tainted source core extracted from the Tyrant in his hand, feeling somewhat curious but not giving it much thought.

After putting it away, he glanced back at the school, which was in a terrible state, and a wide grin spread across his face. He finally laughed heartily.

Who hasn't had the thought of blowing up a school?

Moreover, they even managed to take down the most difficult boss, which was a win-win situation and a double blessing!

He did not hunt extensively after that.

The reason is simple: fear.

This time, being able to take down the tyrant was already the result of his extreme operation and thinking.

If even one person is missing, the job can't be done.

If Ling Xiao dares to challenge the tyrant, he'll behave himself after he's had his fun.

The bonus content is full of question marks, so even if it might mean unimaginably generous rewards, it's best to avoid it.

Knowing your own limits, don't keep pushing them.

This game only gives you one life, there's no replay, so it's best to avoid any risky actions.

Finally, the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon.

Gazing at the rising sun leaping over the mountains in the distance, Ling Xiao was lost in thought for a long time, unwilling to look away.

But eventually, the reckoning will come.

Congratulations on completing the special mission – The Destruction of Little Raccoon City!

[Currently cleared levels: Source of Calamity [1], Realm of Mystery [0], Rift of the Abyss [0]]

[Because you completed the following additional content: Licking...The Corrupted Butcher (5/3); Tyrant (1/1);]

[The extra rewards have been sent to your inventory; the extra reward is the special title [King Killer]]

[Promotion task in progress... Current conditions met! Job change ceremony begins!]

In the darkness, Ling Xiao found himself in a pure white space devoid of sky and earth, unable to move, only able to observe the changes before him with his consciousness.

After receiving the hint, he thought for a moment and submitted the five ingredients according to the "recipe" he had planned long ago.

The materials located in the four corners ignite with colorful flames, from which seven-colored divine light emanates and flows towards the main material in the center.

Ling Xiao watched nervously, because the system had informed him that the material fusion was not 100% successful!

If the quality difference is too large, or the compatibility is too low, it is very likely to be scrapped!

Fortunately, his luck wasn't so bad that even God would be disgusted with him.

[Random primary class list (only one can be selected):]

Become!

Ling Xiao quickly continued reading.

Ling Xiao was suddenly faced with a difficult choice.

Sorry everyone, I was kept on duty by my boss because I was slacking off at work and writing, so I didn't get home until after 8 pm.

I haven't even eaten and I've been typing like crazy, but I still have a thousand words left. If I really don't have enough time, I can only paste a template to reach ten thousand words for the update.

It has now been revised. I'm really sorry everyone. The word count should be 200 words more than the original version. This was essentially a free gift for those who purchased it. I'm truly sorry.
