Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 79, Chapter 078: A Perfect Ending, Regional Merge (Two thousand more to go, will order again tomorrow)

The white light faded, and pure darkness enveloped everything.

Upon regaining consciousness, Ling Xiao opened his eyes and looked around to find himself in a huge arena.

The exact distance seems unclear.

"Looking at the mountain makes one run a horse to death," he seemed to think he would never reach that high wall.

But those seats weren't just randomly generated by the system to fool people; it seemed like there were actually people sitting there.

And quite a lot!

However, the sound of their whispers did not reach Ling Xiao's ears at all.

The surroundings were deathly silent, except for a beam of light descending from the sky.

The light subsided, and the iron-gray skin that had been separated for a short time reappeared in Ling Xiao's sight.

"Wow...it really is you..."

With a wry smile, Ling Xiao's initial joy at starting his new job was immediately dampened.

But his fighting spirit only grew stronger!

A fleeting glimpse!

【LV20 Tyrant [Filthy Species] (Leader)】

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

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

[Individual Attributes: Strength 25/Agility 14/Constitution 30]

[Individual Description: ...]

Even with Ling Xiao's composure, he couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath at this moment.

"Holy crap! Is this even a human being capable of fighting?!"

"Designing such an outrageous thing is bad enough, but I've already hit it once, and now they want to drag me out and whip my corpse!"

"They've been buffed again!?"

Which idiot game designer came up with these numbers? Come out and get yourself stabbed!

Of course, Ling Xiao only dared to say these words in his heart.

If such a thing really exists, wouldn't that offend them?

Ugh……

Since things have come to this, let's take drugs first.

Strength and agility remained unchanged, but with a physique of 30 points, Ling Xiao had no intention of winning quickly.

What does this mean?

If there's no soul to share the burden, then all of it is used to strengthen the physical body, right?

This tyrant only got promoted two levels, didn't he?

Eight points of constitution suddenly appeared out of nowhere! Monsters are different from humans!?

Moreover, wasn't there only one talent with a series of limitations?

Why is the dosage of medicine so high even though the soup hasn't been changed?

The skill bar is an even more disastrous thing...

There used to be external forces to rely on and complex terrain to utilize, but now all of that is gone.

In summary, send it!

But we still have to fight; being cowardly before the battle even begins is not Ling Xiao's style.

The tyrant's gray eyes seemed to flicker with some emotion as he stared intently at the figure in the distance. Once he locked onto his target, he immediately launched a charge!

With the extra stamina provided by 30 points of Constitution, and without any other miscellaneous extra costs, it can keep up with Lingxiao while driving [Charge]!

Moreover, with the help of certain beings, it temporarily gained consciousness.

It was completely clear that the person in front of it was the mortal enemy that had killed it!

The arena floor was not indestructible; perhaps it was designed for a visually stunning effect.

When the tyrant charged in with the evil wind, the ground did not crack, but it still trembled, making the approaching Lingxiao appear as small as a crawling insect.

A burst of rainbow light erupted—it was actually the weak humans who had initiated the attack!?

……

A long, flowing burgundy dress trailed on the ground. The woman's red lips were slightly pursed, and her eyes were fixed on the center of the field where smoke and dust were rising.

"Are you betting on him? I have a better option; perhaps you could take a look."

Beside it was a large green eyeball, which used its tail tentacles to hold a cup of blood-red liquid and drank it in a peculiar way, like applying eye drops to the huge pupil.

The woman smiled slightly and casually declined, saying, "Our tastes are different. Ultimately, I still prefer this kind of individual."

She glanced at the other person's face, where countless images were condensed and switched, and in the center of a large screen, a similarly peculiar eyeball was locked in battle.

It contains arcane fluctuations and a surge of magical energy, making it seem much more "advanced" than the visceral combat here.

However, it is undeniable that a considerable portion of the "viewers" enjoy this most primitive, violent, and brutal form of combat.

Although this stage has long passed in their long lives, if they do not wish to return to His embrace, it is time to pick up these discarded dregs again.

The woman seems to be quite popular.

On the other side, a miniature red dragon, perched on the seat cushions, flapped its wings and suggested, "Then you could take a look at mine, oh, tsk tsk!"

"It's rare to have a connection with the dragon race, but if I'm going to invest, this little guy will have to get past that useless heart. By the way, he seems to have some connection with yours!"

"Want to play a game together?"

The woman was indeed attracted.

The dazzling lightning on the screen almost engulfed both people and monsters. The spears drew sharp arcs of light, and the explosive effects were child's play to them, but at the LV10 level, they were quite impressive.

Seeing the two chatting so enthusiastically, Big Eyes also joined in the fun and took a look.

"Oh? This little guy has some incredible luck! If I were you, I'd definitely place a bet, since there aren't many people with something this rare."

Even through the "screen," He could see the special qualities in Ling Xiao at a glance.

The woman didn't change the channel because she had noticed this.

"Never mind, I'll bet on this one first. If he dies from the torment of that heart, it won't be a waste to take him into the clan..."

"And you?"

"Me?"

A fragrant breeze wafted by, and the woman lightly nodded, "I'll place a bet then!"

"I've been watching this for years, and it's always the same. How many of these investments will actually last...?"

The screen shrinks and shifts, and a new image fills the space.

Looking around, there are tens of thousands of screens showing LV10 explorers engaged in battle, and countless smaller screens...

Snap—

The lockdown suit fell off again, this time revealing even more exaggerated muscles and bones!

The afterimage was brutally suppressed by the iron fist!

The tyrant, wielding the Grip of Destruction, almost caught that slippery little mouse!

At this moment, Ling Xiao seized the opportunity, stepping on the tyrant's arm, which was as thick as a lamppost, and leaped onto his head.

However, the result of having a surplus of physical strength is that one can also perform at a higher level in terms of strength and agility.

Even though the attribute values ​​didn't change, Ling Xiao had personally experienced the difference, and it was incredibly obvious!

He swung his left hand back sharply, grabbing at the human with ill intentions.

Without resorting to brute force, the danger reflexes always provide timely warnings, while spatial awareness helps Ling Xiao monitor changes in his surroundings in real time. The tyrant's every move is presented in his mind like a 3D model.

So the moment the opponent's arm moved, he decisively stopped.

The new blade, now at 50% charge, was immediately withdrawn after slicing through the Tyrant's nape!

Despite losing another opportunity, Ling Xiao was not discouraged.

The colossal creature beneath his feet rose to its feet. The punch that had missed its mark had instead resulted in him being stabbed. The tyrant's boundless rage was now burning fiercely!

This is a talent even more disgusting than the desire to kill.

Even if Ling Xiao tries to sneak into the shadows, this guy will smash and hit wildly in his anger, without caring about the loss of his physical strength.

The previous kills occurred at night and when the target was already fatigued.

At this moment, although Ling Xiao can still enter the Shadow state, the effect is very weak, and he is easily affected by attacks, thus being forced to exit.

And this guy is like a perpetual motion machine; when he can't find himself, he just smashes things everywhere!

Even random outputs, if the range is large enough, can eventually expose his true nature.

The battle between the two sides became a stalemate and reached a fever pitch.

The tyrant grew stronger with each battle, forcing Ling Xiao, who initially sought opportunities to counterattack, to now be forced to passively parry, flee only to be caught and forced to continue parrying...

The scales of victory were tipping, but Ling Xiao remained completely calm.

Originally, it was due to repeated suggestions to maintain a stable mindset; now, it's an unreasonable and abnormal mental defense mechanism resulting from the combined effects of "unyielding will" and "perpetually steadfast heart."

The monsters were getting into the action, so why shouldn't Ling Xiao join in?

He hadn't been forced into such a desperate situation in a long time.

Previously, killing the tyrant was planned and arranged, but now we can only confront him head-on. There is less calculation and more decisiveness!

Moreover, he hasn't even gone all out yet!

Controlling the depletion of his physical and spiritual energy, Ling Xiao appeared to be chased and beaten in a sorry state, but in fact, he was never injured and was capturing more and more "information" about the tyrant.

[Weakness Strike] has already revealed several weak points, and [King Killer] has also provided him with additional damage to kill this boss-level monster.

He kept all of this well hidden, never revealing his full hand at the first meeting.

It's been dragging on and on...

Until, at a certain turning point!

It was as if earthquake waves were emanating from beneath the tyrant's feet, causing the ground to shatter and death to stomp upon it!

Rapid fire!

The enormous body approached step by step, rapidly closing the distance. Ling Xiao, who was showing signs of weakness, seemed to be unable to stand steadily. The undulating, broken earth seemed to be preparing to bury him.

Tyrants!

charge!

The enormous shadow shattered everything in front of it.

The flying pebbles turned into finer dust, and the already cracked and upturned ground was plowed into deep furrows by the tyrant!

But, no one was hit?

As Lingxiao leaped high into the air, a silvery-white light appeared in his eyes!

He extended the five fingers of his left hand, which were bent and folded together!

The tyrant's charge will inevitably be aimed at him.

So before he jumped, he wanted to prepare a surprise for this hothead.

The overwhelming momentum was indeed awe-inspiring, but fortunately he was unaffected and seized the last opportunity to narrowly dodge into the air!

Left or right?

I couldn't dodge it; the area was too large. Even with a rapid dodge, I couldn't escape unscathed.

Backwards?

That's even more impossible; that would be suicide.

The only way to survive is in the air.

But the aftershocks of the death trampling were still raging. It was already a miracle that an ordinary person could stay upright. How could they possibly use the force to jump?

Even more difficult!

However, Ling Xiao is not included in this category.

With the added buffs of [Magic Hands and Feet] and the already familiar [Strange Balance], he had absolute control over these extreme maneuvers!

To maintain balance, he twisted his left foot almost to a 90-degree angle, while his right foot managed to step onto a relatively solid, broken surface to gain leverage and take off with a single-leg effort!

It involves more physical laws than stepping on your right foot to fly.

But the number of human body rules that are violated is simply too many.

But at least it was accomplished.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

Risking being reduced to a pile of parts, Ling Xiao naturally created an opportunity for a decisive victory.

Even if things don't go well, we must severely damage the tyrant!

The place where he had been, a not-so-large space, suddenly trembled.

And this is precisely the moment when the tyrant's charge arrives!

Dimensional Exile!

Silent and without fanfare, without any grand gestures or dazzling special effects.

The entire space seemed as if nothing had happened.

But Ling Xiao knew that something had already happened and ended.

As the tyrant retreated from his charge, black, foul blood began to pool on the ground where he stood.

A section of iron-gray forearm, attached to a huge fist, had fallen to the ground at some unknown time.

The tyrant turned around without hesitation, allowing Ling Xiao to see his masterpiece.

His head was completely unharmed.

The torso is fine.

Only his entire right arm was almost completely useless.

Only a little bit remained on the shoulder.

It turns out that when the tyrant charged forward, he held his right arm in front of him, bending his elbow like a knife, intending to deliver a powerful iron elbow strike to Ling Xiao!

If that blow had landed squarely, it probably would have smashed him into a pile of broken parts.

Fortunately, it seems that the only attack ability of the [Dimensional Explorer] is working quite well.

At the very least, it validated Ling Xiao's tactical thinking in defeating his opponent.

The tyrant's mutilated right arm has not recovered.

This relieved Ling Xiao.

If this thing could be restored, then what's the point of fighting?

He might as well just commit suicide on the spot to avoid suffering.

There was no further attack. The tyrant, unusually, stopped his attack and, in a very "dignified" and formal manner, roared to the sky!

The latest novel is first published here!

As expected...

Damn, your planning is utterly incompetent...

Countless dark shadows crawled out of the ground behind the tyrant.

Looking around, none of them are of high level.

But Ling Xiao, who had led his hunting party to gang up on countless monsters, was now also a rebel against the Heavenly Gang.

They were ganged up on and beaten by the monster's men.

As expected of a tyrant, that damned limited skill!

"Awooooo!"

The zombies roared with excitement, like a tsunami, as they surged forward, while a towering figure lurked in wait.

For a time, Lingxiao was in grave danger.

The tyrant doesn't seem to be summoning any more minions, as if he doesn't have the ability to completely overwhelm himself with sheer numbers.

But these few dozen alone are enough to leave Ling Xiao powerless to retaliate.

There was no other way; there was a big guy following behind.

If he dares to turn around, he's guaranteed to see a gray, iron-colored wall crashing into him as he kills the zombie.

Sheathe knife and switch to gun

Ling Xiao knew that simply running away would only lead to his death; the only way to gain a chance of survival was to find a way to weaken the enemy.

The use of a long weapon was a risky move, an attempt to "exchange pieces" with the opponent!

Another heavy blow landed, and the tyrant crawled out of the pit, covered in dust.

It got tricked again.

Ling Xiao feigned killing the enemy, but actually fled.

At the cost of an iron spear, he killed several zombies while also tricking the tyrant into giving up his Thunder Strike, which required a short period of charging!

In the midst of a life-or-death struggle, Ling Xiao discovered that the talents he had plundered were slowly growing stronger.

It's the [Special Affinity] skill from my main class that's taking effect!

This kind of boost is perfect for a player like him who relies entirely on other people's stuff to "play the game".

At this moment, he had used up all the iron spears in his backpack.

Using internal energy to extend attack range will inevitably consume more resources.

Blood was flowing from his lower abdomen, and a small piece of flesh was missing from his left shoulder.

Often walking by the river, how can there not be wet shoes?

Ling Xiao seemed to be toying with and running away from the tyrant, and even managed to sneak up and clear out a few small monsters, but he was also pushed to his limit.

The grinding of teeth and sucking of blood were a constant feedback to the treatment, but it was far from enough.

He has too many injuries.

Ling Xiao could only treat the wounds that were affecting his movement first; as for the wounds that weren't too serious for the time being, he would just let them heal.

A piece of gravel flew past my thigh, and I almost experienced what it's like to be a eunuch!

He won't be able to vent his anger until he's dealt with this bastard today...

Fortunately, the suffering wasn't in vain.

Now, it's just the two of us again!

Covered in blood, Ling Xiao roughly wiped the wound on his forehead to avoid the flowing blood obscuring his vision.

hiss……

That fucking hurts!

The pain he felt helped him focus his attention.

The tyrant was also in poor condition at this time.

Ling Xiao used the same trick again, and after his transformation, his attributes skyrocketed, greatly increasing his attack and attack speed!

With a series of slashes from his twin blades, the iron-gray, tenacious body was covered in wounds that burned with flames.

Inside, jet-black blood, like oil, gushed out and was battling with the inextinguishable flames, making a hissing sound.

Physical and spiritual energy are nearly exhausted.

Because the teeth-grinding and blood-sucking were currently working to save the life-threatening injury, and Ling Xiao had also finished drinking the medicine.

With only the two knives left in his hands, he had never before reached such a desperate situation.

Fortunately, it's time to determine the final winner.

And, life and death...

With his only remaining left arm, the tyrant's abnormal stamina bar was also almost empty. Every time he attacked along the way, he consumed far more energy than Ling Xiao.

The latter only needs to run away, and any counterattack plans are just pre-set in the mind. But it is different. With its large size, the damage is off the charts, but the energy consumption of moving around is almost doubled.

Even the strongest physique can't withstand a kite like that!

However, in the final few encounters, it realized that its opponent was running out of energy.

Thus, it unlocked almost all of its talents.

Ruthless will, endless rage, unyielding body, destructive desire!

In addition, the final charge during the invincible state.

Every step is a trampling of war, and the berserk attacks are unleashed to their fullest extent at this moment!

Ling Xiao had nowhere to run. His remaining physical and spiritual strength only allowed him to make a final decision.

Is it to activate rapid evasion and avoid this fatal blow?

Or should we risk our lives and try again through dimensional exile?

bang——

It seems like the reaction is slow.

A figure flew out like a kite with a broken string. The violent force shattered his internal organs, and his enhanced physique could not withstand such a thunderous blow.

It seems that leaving him with a complete corpse is the last resort...

thump... thump...

The tyrant instinctively chased after it, his feet treading on the broken earth. After a few steps, he suddenly staggered.

Then, losing sight of the target, he took a few steps toward something else, but fell headfirst after only a few steps.

To be precise, it should be headless.

That familiar big head was once again smashed by Ling Xiao.

However, the "method" was much gentler, and the shards were not splattered everywhere.

His neck was bald, as if, while passing through some place, the tyrant's head suddenly went to another time and space.

This was a precise hit that Ling Xiao achieved at the cost of his life.

He couldn't guarantee he could time the release perfectly. His most unbeatable move at this stage required a wind-up animation, which was very annoying.

Fortunately, in the instant before he was knocked away, he only saw the merciless iron elbow and not the tyrant's head.

With his eyes vacant and staring upwards, Ling Xiao was even unable to cough up blood.

His entire chest had been shattered by the heavy blow, but it hadn't broken apart because of the oath ring on his left ring finger, which radiated a warm, lustrous light.

Divine protection has taken effect.

Within ten minutes, his injuries will be fixed at this moment, he will be on the verge of death but not quite, and due to his special nature, he will still be very clear-headed.

"System? System?! Say something! Is it over yet?!"

"Holy crap... did this not kill it?!"

Of course, Ling Xiao couldn't shout it out.

Large gushes of blood were stuck in his mouth, waiting to be released as a small fountain the moment he breathed his last.

It's like a guillotine that's been shoved until it bleeds.

However, it's still possible to bring up the panel right now.

[Congratulations on successfully completing the test! Your main job status is now complete, and you have met the advancement requirements to begin the next stage of job change!]

[During the process of leaving the game... all items consumed will be refunded]

Ling Xiao's consciousness plunged into darkness again, but he knew that this time, it was truly over.

After conquering Little Raccoon City and killing the Tyrant with outrageous stats again, if we still try to take advantage of him, then he'll...

Let's see how to deal with this...

Fortunately, the unforgettable job change is finally over!

Golden light appeared in the taskbar.

As the Level 10 explorers completed their respective battles, the time-space freeze that had occurred in all areas finally restarted.

Ling Xiao didn't have time to check the rewards for the special mission because the world missions had been updated!

World Quest - The Long Night (Rainy Day in Progress)

[Note: Once the spark is ignited, the first crisis you'll face is the relentless torrential rain! The flame of survival is fading, explorers, we hope you can survive this first, and least severe, natural disaster!]

[Basic information: Surviving until November 1, 98 AD]

[Additional content: LV5 explorers account for 70%; LV10 explorers account for 10%]

[Reward: Common title [Exceptional Aquatic Skills]; Completing the additional content in advance will grant you information about the upcoming [Demonic Tide]]

"Rainstorm?"

Lingxiao broke free from the dream of being grounded in reality; the real earth always brings a sense of peace.

It looks like there's something fishy going on with this world quest...

"Brother Xiao?! Holy crap!? You have no idea what I've run into!"

The person next to Ling Xiao grabbed him and shook him violently, almost causing him to punch someone in response.

Qi Heng was grinning from ear to ear, but before he could shout anything more, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky.

A bolt from the blue!

The gray mist that had enveloped everyone like a pot lid seemed to have been punched through by this blow.

Ling Xiao looked up at the sky and felt his face was wet.

It's raining……

A strange, foul odor lingered around his nose, startling him so much that he immediately activated his explosive power!

"What are you standing there for?! Come inside!"

"The rainwater is problematic; avoid direct contact!"

It was as if it were responding to his shout.

Before 12:01, the whole world went from a light drizzle to a torrential downpour.

The campfire didn't even last a few seconds before it went out.

The world was plunged into darkness, except for a few people who reacted in time, whose bodies shone with multicolored light.

Amidst the hissing sounds, Ling Xiao, protected by his inner energy, was still able to look up.

I strained to see through the rain curtain to discern the source of this seemingly overwhelming downpour.

Then my heart sank to the bottom.

black……

That's fucking black...

The sky is leaking...

There are still two thousand words of content missing, and I'm working hard to revise it!
