Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 81 080: Guild Duel, Everyone's a Villain (Bowing and getting scolded, still two thousand words short, I'll finish it right away)

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger?"

"Huh? What's going on? There were only a little over 5,000 people before, how did it suddenly become 50,000?"

"Is the one from district 61033 still there?"

"I'm number 61038! That's strange, what other districts are there?"

"A bunch of idiots, they don't even read the panel announcements."

"You dare insult me ​​again?! Did you even see my prefix?! You dare insult someone from [Yan Yu Dynasty]?!"

"You idiot, you dare call me that?! You trash who can't even crack the top 100 on the guild rankings dares to yell at me? Look at what your dad's guild is called! [Gathering of Righteousness]! You dare bark at me like a dog?! If you've got the guts, open it..."

……

Swearing and vulgar language can always quickly bridge the gap between strangers.

Whether they become friends through shared interests or get caught up in a heated real-life battle, the results are always excellent.

"What's all the fuss about in the channel? They've been going on and on without getting to the point!"

Qi Heng hoisted the bone spear onto his shoulder and began wielding this novel contraption.

【Qingshan Zhiguang】still holds the top spot after the server merge, but according to the displayed data, the second place is very close.

[Gathering of Righteousness Hall]

The most individualistic speakers in the channel right now are their members.

There was a lot of hostility about him; something was off.

"Brother Xiao, the leader of this [Gathering of Righteousness] guild messaged me, and it seems... they don't have good intentions!"

Send me the chat history.

Qi Heng exchanged verbal sparring with the other party while passing the ball to Ling Xiao.

This guy called "Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King" was full of provocation in his words, and his arrogant and domineering aura was impossible to hide.

Looking at the rankings, he's third on the entire list, so he certainly has every right to be arrogant.

but……

Is it necessary?

Does it make sense?

How could a survivor who has survived this long and even reached LV10 have such a strange mind?!

The other party was too stupid; Ling Xiao couldn't figure out their strength for a moment.

"I want to curse him, Brother Xiao."

Qi Heng rubbed his teeth. "This bastard keeps urging me to start some kind of guild duel, but he doesn't even bother to communicate with me."

"How so?"

"I've shut him down and ignored him, but people are coming to my door to complain too."

Ling Xiao calmed his brother down and opened the private chat sent by Hu Baoyi, the vice president of the [Gathering Hall].

[Hu Baoyi: "Hello, Xiao."]

[Owl: "What's up?"]

[Hu Baoyi: Hehe, there is something I need to discuss. For example, would you be interested in joining us?]

"A strong person like you, are you content to be subservient to others? Besides, I've investigated your guild's three leaders, and it seems that you three leaders have been helping the others all along! Don't you feel like you're a burden? Don't you feel like they're hindering your development?"

"I assure you, in our [Gathering of Righteousness], status, resources, and even the right to speak are all determined by merit! We will not be bound by those outdated ideas!"

"We follow an elite path, embracing all talents. As long as you are elite, we welcome you! And a strong person like you is especially welcome! If you come, a vice president position will definitely be arranged for you!"

???

They directly attack the top-ranked player, "Ba Yi Cai Dao," but try to win him over with kind words.

Pull one out and attack one at a time, then divide and conquer them one by one.

Ling Xiao didn't rush to reply to him, but instead discussed the guild duel with Qi Heng.

This feature was unlocked after the guild base was built, but after a few people looked at it, they felt it was unnecessary and had forgotten about it ever since.

Now that we have some unpleasant guests at the door, we need to take a good look at this...

"Damn it, are these bastards planning a fight?!"

Qi Heng understood the other party's intention and found it hard to believe.

He has always believed that survivors should help each other and pool their strength to survive in this strange world until the end.

But he's not stupid. How could he be stupid if he got into the same school as Ling Xiao?

"You've always said I'm naive."

Ling Xiao turned his head, gazing wistfully at the rain curtain, "But the truth is, you're even more of a dreamer than I am."

"Now I understand why they're so keen on fighting other people. Killing monsters requires searching everywhere and taking unknown risks."

"What's faster than plundering other explorers directly? After all, even random draws are still stealing from people! It's a guaranteed income, isn't it faster than the hard work of going down into the dungeons?"

"In a guild duel, both guilds' bases are teleported together after the duel begins. Will the resources in the warehouse be able to escape? And what about the people captured after defeating the opponent...?"

Ling Xiao didn't say the rest.

The principle is very simple, just like primitive tribes fighting each other.

They used to rob people of money, grain, and women; now they're robbing laborers.

What would they do with fiercely resisting prisoners, or prisoners they considered worthless?

The answer is self-evident, and almost certainly correct.

It's just that people who have been influenced by modern civilization would actually think of using this method to develop.

Moreover, it has been a long time since the proposal was put forward.

It was rare for Ling Xiao to feel such uncontrollable rage towards a single faction or an entire guild.

There was also murderous intent...

But you have to hold back.

The other party showed no regard for this and made no attempt to conceal it. Wasn't this also a provocation to people with a conscience, trying to cloud their judgment and get them to agree to a duel?

Things can't be kept secret on this channel.

Originally, there were only a little over 3,000 people left in Zone 61030, which was the fewest among the ten channels that were currently counted. Now, these "survivors" are also complaining bitterly when they see other survivors, and are fiercely criticizing the domineering actions of the [Gathering Hall] group.

The Juyi Hall did not stop them, nor did they argue; in fact, they were somewhat pleased with the outcome.

Anyway, there won't be a situation where eighteen warlords unite to attack Dong Zhuo.

Guild duels can only be fought one at a time, and this world is vast; they haven't encountered any other explorers yet.

With so many new prey to choose from, this group of fifty thugs is like fresh, steaming flesh to a hungry wolf!

【Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King】 and 【Hu Baoyi】 respectively approached Qi Heng and Ling Xiao.

The other members also had their own tasks, and none of these top-ranked guilds could escape their harassment.

Several hot-tempered guilds immediately accepted the challenge. They were originally one of the top guilds in the channel, and now their top combatants had basically become awakened professionals.

Although the servers have been merged and their rankings have dropped slightly, anyone can easily humiliate them.

I can't stand it!

Who's afraid of who? Let's do it!

"What do you mean? Brother Xiao, you know me. I've never been treated like this in my entire life!"

"Never received such treatment?"

Ling Xiao said calmly, "Have you forgotten how Mom died? Have you forgotten how we had to live like dogs, treading carefully for a living?"

"You can fight, and so can I. We're not afraid of anyone in a one-on-one fight. But then what? What about the others? The other side is clearly all combat-type players, and their average level is definitely higher than ours. They're probably the strongest group of people in that region all together."

"Honestly, do you really think we can wipe out the enemy if we actually fight? The two guilds teleport together and start fighting immediately, without any preparations or ambushes. Do I really need to analyze the odds of victory?"

With his cheeks bulging, Qi Heng gritted his teeth, his face gloomy, and the lightning around him stirred up considerably.

But in the end, he didn't refute anything.

Xiao Ge is right...

He's known this since he was a child...

But why are evil people always able to commit evil so brazenly and without any means of punishment?

This shouldn't be happening!

Why are we still getting this nonsensical logic after all we've got here?!

Suddenly, he realized something and asked urgently, "Brother Xiao! Do you have an idea?!"

When his mother died, Xiao Ge was just as heartbroken as I was.

Yet he was still able to handle the rest as the person in charge, and at that time, his expression looked like this.

Ling Xiao remained calm.

He had the idea immediately, and now he's just working intensively to build it up.

He greatly admired the state of mind where one could have a raging storm in one's heart yet remain calm on the surface.

Now that he has various states and abilities, Ling Xiao has finally learned the basics.

Ye Zhanqing also shared several chat logs, including provocations from [Juyitang] and admonitions from several guilds that had suffered as a result.

Having reviewed everything, Ling Xiao finally completed the most crucial step in his plan.

"rule."

"The rules may seem heartless, easily manipulated and exploited. But so can we. They find convenient ways to use the rules, and so can we!"

Qi Heng, as if injected with a stimulant, suppressed his excitement and asked, "Brother Xiao, are there any loopholes in the rules?!"

"No," Ling Xiao shook his head in denial, "The rules are very simple, so the scope is very large and the degree of freedom is very high. These bastards dare to play like this because they take advantage of the unconditional restrictions of guild duels."

"If we fight them, we'll fall into their trap and likely suffer a crushing defeat, and we'll also lose ourselves in the process; if we don't fight them, they'll spread rumors, slander, and attack us relentlessly. Since they're shameless, the reputations of other guilds will be trampled on and ruined!"

"But..."

A knowing smile flashed across his face. "Who said that after they provoke us, only one guild can respond?"

Qi Heng couldn't understand it, but Ling Xiao's next words immediately cleared the fog for him.

"They dare to challenge us, dare to declare war on almost every guild! It's because all their members are combat-oriented; after rigorous training, they'd absolutely crush other well-rounded guilds in a fight!"

"But who said only one guild can fight? Guilds can be reorganized! They can only view the information of the three guild leaders; they can't see who the members are!"

"You like fighting? You like provoking everyone?"

"Let's fight it all at once! Let's gather the top players from other guilds and form an even stronger all-around combat team! All nine servers combined can't possibly defeat just one of their servers, right?"

"Besides, they only rose to power by taking over from other players in the area! They weren't even the strongest in terms of raw strength! We don't even need fifty professionals; forty should be enough to take them down! Thirty would likely be a sure win!"

"Holy crap, Xiao Ge! You're a fucking genius!"

The gloom on Qi Heng's face vanished, and he couldn't wait to get started.

"Keep it to yourself, don't let the news leak out."

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, "No rush to get started. Let's contact the others first, and we can also level up a few times while we're at it."

"Tsk... Damn it, if we could have handled this ourselves, we wouldn't have needed all this trouble!"

The latest novel is first published here!

He shared his thoughts with Ye Zhanqing, who immediately understood.

Already proud, she was now being treated with disrespect, leaving her seething with anger.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao came up with this plan that could be considered a sure kill. As long as it is carried out step by step in a safe and steady manner, he will eventually chop those foul-mouthed guys to pieces!

"Waaaaah! Help!"

"Watch out! What's that... Help me..."

A gasp suddenly came from somewhere in the wooden shed.

After patting Qi Heng on the shoulder and receiving a nod in acknowledgment, Ling Xiao flew back and headed straight for the direction from which the sound came.

Their perception was also greatly reduced after the rain obscured their vision.

The girl who got into trouble was Iron Hammer, who was making a raincoat. She may have become the target of the monster because of her petite size.

The people closest to her were suddenly knocked to the ground by the attack, and all they could see was a thick tail before Hammer Girl was swept away.

Ye Zhanqing's pretty face was filled with murderous intent, but she only had time to kill another strange snake that was trying to attack.

The one that swept away Hammer Sister has already swum away very quickly!

"Go back! Light the torches!"

Upon arriving at the scene, Ling Xiao and Ye Zhanqing met and, after exchanging a glance, both realized the seriousness of the situation.

"I'll go after them! You stay and watch over the others!"

"good!"

After a brief exchange, Ling Xiao's inner energy solidified, and its circulation speed increased dramatically. He chased after the remaining clues and rushed out!

It seemed as if only the intense raindrops remained in the world.

The water from countless reservoirs poured down, and the earth beneath our feet seemed to tremble and wail under this pressure.

Splat! Splat! Splat!

The water level stopped rising after it reached above the ankles.

Ling Xiao charged forward with his sword, creating a series of dense ripples in the water. His speed was not greatly affected, but there were no traces or marks to be found.

Fortunately, the [Monster Hunter] ability is still in effect.

The giant snake that Qi Heng killed before is still in the backpack.

The missing Hammer Sister was unlucky, but not bad either, because the traces left by the monster that attacked her allowed Ling Xiao to activate the Tracking and Finding function.

It was this kind of snake-like monster that had never been seen before!

[Spatial Perception] Minimize the impact of rain on the sky, and if you calm down and feel it, it is even "clearer" than seeing with your eyes!

"save……"

It's right ahead!

A beam of light tore through the rain curtain first!

The target wasn't the snake's vital spot or head, but rather the middle section near the tail.

How could the basilisk possibly dodge such a sudden attack?

He immediately received a solid blow.

But it didn't break in two!

Although Ling Xiao couldn't use his full strength due to his instantaneous attack, his physical resilience was still astonishing!

In pain, the python instinctively tried to swallow the prey it had already half-eaten.

But Ling Xiao had already arrived.

Seeing the monster with its coiled serpentine body and head raised, ready to take another bite, he instantly cast Soul Drain Pierce!

The soul is injured, and the body's movements become sluggish.

Ling Xiao spared no skill usage, directly using [Rapid Evasion] as a charge skill.

at the same time,

A fleeting glimpse!

【LV8 Swimming Snake [Mutant] (Normal)】

[Racial Traits: Aquatic Mobility, Gluttonous Instinct, Agile Body, Tough Skin]

[Racial Skills: Underwater Dash, Entangling Predator, Water Splash Cover, Gluttonous Devour]

[Individual Attributes: Strength 7/Agility 9/Constitution 8]

[Individual Description: They swim extremely fast in the water, using their agile bodies to quickly dart through the water in search of food. Once they lock onto a target, they use a constricting hunting technique to tightly entangle their prey, then quickly devour it with a voracious swallowing technique. Water splashes provide cover, allowing them to create chaos while hunting and avoid predators or competitors.]

The template is passable for a high-level monster.

Although he is only two levels lower than Ling Xiao, the actual difference cannot be rigidly measured by mere levels.

The blade was tempered, and a surge of energy formed a blade's edge, which pierced fiercely into the body of the swimming gluttonous snake before making a final, forceful slash!

Disembowel!

Moreover, Ling Xiao did not break through completely, but stopped in time to avoid splitting the unfortunate creature inside in two as well.

In the last section, which is also close to the snake's head, he directly reached out, stepping on the constantly struggling and writhing snake's body, gripping the crack with both hands, and tearing it violently!

blah-

The torrential rain, mixed with snake blood, drenched Iron Hammer Sister's face.

She gasped for breath, not even noticing the rainwater getting into her mouth, and ended up choking. As she coughed violently, Ling Xiao grabbed her and pulled her up.

"Th...thank you!"

No nonsense.

Seeing that Iron Hammer Sister was unharmed except for being covered in slime, Ling Xiao immediately prepared to return.

But before he could take two steps with the poor little guy in his arms, he stopped.

Hiss--

Around them, a group of greedy swimming snakes swarmed in.

And there are quite a few...

"How's it going? Can you run?"

"I……"

Iron Hammer Sister's face was red and white, turning bright red from holding her breath and pale with fright.

She noticed it too, because the encirclement formed by the swarm of strange snakes was gradually tightening.

"Brother Xiao, I'm so sorry! You should leave now! I've dragged you into this mess..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Ling Xiao retorted stiffly, "Your foot isn't injured, is it? What about your leg?"

"Anything...anything is fine! It's just...I definitely can't outrun them, Brother Xiao, let's split up later! I'll help you..."

"Let's go back. You haven't forgotten how to use the map, have you?"

"Hmm, huh?"

"Then run! Don't worry about anything else, I'll stay right here with you, just run!"

Iron Hammer Sister is not a pretentious person.

Seeing that Ling Xiao truly needed his cooperation, he was confident that they could go back together.

She dared not delay, fearing she might make a mistake, and immediately began to limp along, dragging her leg that had just been bruised.

And with her movement, the strange snakes that had been drooling for so long could no longer wait.

The snake's head suddenly shot out, but it flew off sideways without any momentum the moment it got close.

The flickering firelight illuminated Hammer Sister's profile.

Knowing that Ling Xiao was really guarding nearby, she was deeply moved. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain, trying her best to speed up and get back to the camp as soon as possible.

One after another, greedy snakes swam and pounced, no longer able to restrain themselves, and attacked their prey.

However, upon getting close, they were immediately beheaded by the sharp blade. Ling Xiao followed Iron Hammer Sister at a distance.

For him, the most difficult part of this rescue mission was not how to bring back the hostages, but whether he could catch up with the killer.

He leaped up suddenly!

It turned out that a level 10 giant snake was lying in wait ahead!

But it underestimated Ling Xiao, who charged straight at it without dodging or avoiding anything!

Hammer Sister's eyes widened as the figure crashing through the air exuded a violent killing intent that nearly shattered the surrounding raindrops!

Moreover, it cleaved the sky in two!

The protective energy had never extended more than a few meters before, but it had indeed reached that distance!

With all his attributes skyrocketing, Ling Xiao no longer needs to live frugally.

With abundant physical and spiritual energy, the raging flames of the Wind and Fire Frenzy swept out exaggerated arcs of fire!

middle!

There is no severable obstacle!

For a moment, Sister Iron Hammer forgot even the pain, staring blankly at the blood-soaked figure falling from the split snake body.

Rainwater and blood ignited upon contact. Ling Xiao turned around, and the remaining strange snakes were so terrified by that glance that they dared not follow!

A crimson and blue halo flowed around him, making him appear like a god!

Two thousand words urgently! I'll finish them right away! Writing 10,000 words a day is so tiring!
