Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 197: 196: Gods Conflict, Guild Encounters
"Believe... believe Chun-ge?"

Qi Heng's inappropriate joke only earned him a few sharp glances like knives.

Seeing that Ye Zhanqing was about to start "bullying" his childhood friend again, Ling Xiao quickly changed the subject.

"In short, no matter what gods they believe in, the threat they pose is no less than that of the Lost Hearts."

He looked around at the group and said solemnly, "Although I get along quite well with them, the potential dangers are often more terrifying than those that are exposed."

"So I suggest continuing to observe for a while and not rushing to contact them."

"That's true,"

Qi Heng was quite serious, "That ice block last time was really scary. I could feel the terrifying aura from a long distance away."

"correct,"

Ling Xiao changed the subject and asked about the attack on the camp.

"The ones who attacked the camp were also followers of the Swamp Lord. Did they show any difference?"

Qi Heng pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Not really, it's no different from what we encountered before."

"There's no entity like a born-again conscious being? The kind that can communicate?"

"No,"

Qi Heng continued to shake his head. "I remember everything you told me. I won't be careless in dealing with these evil things. I'll go all out!"

"Fortunately, we didn't find any difficult monsters in there. Once the minefield was opened, they were all killed instantly."

Ling Xiao nodded slightly.

Swamp Lord

God of Snow and Frost

So far, the crazy people they have encountered are divided into two factions, each believing in these two gods.

Floyd, who attracted attention and consumed one of his [Divine Protection], and Tessa, who was decisively killed by him, were the strongest known ones among the two factions of the Madmen.

Judging from the information leaked by the latter, the two knew each other.

It was hard for Ling Xiao not to think of something...

Floyd was killed on the snowy plains north of the mountains.

Not only are there white-haired monsters with ice and snow attributes, but there are also vine people on the swamp side.

Simply dividing by region may not be very accurate.

If Tessa, who believes in the Lord of the Swamp, only moves in mountains with dense vegetation, how does it know Floyd?

I have experienced the customs and culture of Yalan Town.

Ling Xiao boldly made an assumption:
Angelina and other lost souls also believe in different gods. Have the lost souls with the same names ever lived together?
But later on, for some reason, they went their separate ways and became what they are today?

This would also explain why Tessa and Floyd knew each other.

The reason for their alienation and separation can be traced back to the fact that they each worship different gods.

But this brings up another question.

Freud and other crazy people are also active in this area. Adding to the beliefs of Alan Town, the people here believe in as many as five gods!

Is this reasonable? ?
Ling Xiao does not believe in gods and Buddhas, but he also knows that faith requires a so-called "basic foundation."

One or two people might be able to get by by pretending.

Five gods.

There is one more for playing mahjong!
With so many gods competing for incense and believers, won’t a fight break out in the kingdom of God?

Ling Xiao expressed his concerns, which also caused everyone to sigh.

"Wow! It's hard enough to deal with just two of them, but there are also three types of worshippers of these gods in Alan Town!"

Qi Heng exclaimed in amazement, "Can't we just let them fight each other out before they come and cause us trouble? And they're both mindless and soulless, it's really annoying!"

"Didn't you hear what Brother Xiao said?"

Ye Zhanqing said unhappily, "The Lost Souls of Yalan Town and these monsters are hostile to each other."

"That might mean..."

Su Jinxi's beautiful eyes lit up, and she suddenly thought of something.

"The two gods believed in by the Lost Hearts are just as at odds with the three gods believed in by the Lost Souls in Yalan Town!"

"Hiss... that makes so much fucking sense..."

Qi Heng sucked in a breath of cold air.

Ling Xiao nodded in agreement.

He had the same idea.

In fact.

After realizing that the [Glow of Embers] was most likely from the [Goddess of Light], he became interested in the gods.

Several people continued their research along the same line of thought in tacit understanding.

If you can get into a "bar dancing" university, even if there is a difference in intelligence, it won't be too big.

It is a pleasure to chat with smart people. In just a few words, everyone can guess the earth-shaking changes that may have happened that year.

"First of all, let's make one thing clear, which is also the premise of all our reasoning."

Ling Xiao drew a "timeline" on the ground and circled the beginning of the line.

"Both the Homecoming and the town of Alan prove that humans existed in this world long ago."

"And that was a very... glorious era. The Homecoming could sail out to sea and explore the vast oceans, and the Knights and magicians possessed extraordinary powers..."

"But later, it seems that due to some reason, such as the 'Abyss' or the 'Dark Sea', a huge change occurred that had far-reaching consequences."

The timeline continues to run.

"Then these indigenous people began to become alienated. Some became people with lost hearts, and others became people with lost souls."

"Judging from the differences after contact, the Lost Hearts should be the more evil party, and the gods behind them are not good things either;"

"Those who have lost their souls may seem relatively normal, but since they believe in gods, I'm afraid they're not easy to deal with. I can get along well with them now, probably because I haven't triggered any problems yet. Once they are exposed, they might be even more bizarre and crazy than those who have lost their minds!"

"this world……"

Ye Zhanqing sighed, "Isn't there anything normal about this... They're either monsters or weirdos with problems. If I were to travel through this world alone, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the courage to persevere and survive..."

"Me too..."

It was rare that Qi Heng didn't argue with her.

Ling Xiao opened his mouth, but couldn't think of any words of comfort.

Isn't he the same?

Some people like to be together, while others like to be alone.

But humans are social animals, and only a very small number of people can completely live without social interaction.

If you come alone to this world full of monsters and weirdness, even if you are lucky enough not to die, your spirit will sooner or later break down.

【guild】

It seems to have appeared to solve this problem...

"Ok?"

Ling Xiao suddenly looked up, which surprised others.

They rarely saw Ling Xiao, who was always calm and composed, show such emotional fluctuations.

Ling Xiao himself was also surprised.

Because a group of people appeared at the edge of his perception.

this time……

It seems like a real person.

"What? A real person!?"

Qi Heng stood up suddenly, "If they are not the crazy ones, then there is only one possibility for more than fifty people to come here together!"

"Other guilds!"

Ye Zhanqing helped him complete his thoughts.

After realizing that it was very likely another guild was approaching this way, several people looked at Ling Xiao.

They don't take lone survivors seriously.

But the two guilds encountered...

Whether it's a happy gathering of fellow villagers or a sniper shooting in the back, no one dares to make a conclusion...

"We must make contact in advance, but we can't go with just a few of us."

Ling Xiao knew very well that hesitation would only waste time, so the best strategy was to say whatever came to mind and come up with a plan as soon as possible.

"Our guild is number one on the leaderboard, and anyone interested will definitely recognize our nickname, so we need to find someone 'unknown' to approach."

Ling Xiao's eyes lit up, and he shouted to a nearby distance: "Li Xiang! Come alive!"

…………

On the vast snowy plain, a group of people marched forward with difficulty.

"Woo! Come on! I can even see the trees on the hill!"

The blonde woman shouted excitedly, and the tall and strong black man in the lead straightened up and patted his sore back.

He turned around to cheer up the guild members, his eyes also glancing at the woman's bulging chest.

This little devil, even in the freezing cold, didn't forget to cling to me, and he was so exhausted that I was exhausted. If it weren't for the powerful improvement brought by his attributes, he really wouldn't dare to enjoy this bone-scraping knife...

"What are you looking at?"

The woman, whose appearance could only be considered outstanding, came up and rubbed the man's arm with an incredibly seductive look.

"After entering the mountains, why don't you stop for a couple of days to rest? I'll take good care of you..."

"Heh! Be careful or I'll make you lie down for a few more days..."

The members behind felt very uncomfortable watching their president flirting.

They fought so hard to get to this point, but in the end, they are treated worse than a woman who joined halfway and sold her body?

Moreover, being suppressed by a black man, even if it was because of the latter's strength that ranked among the top 100, these old white men could not help but feel resentful.

But the current situation is still not optimistic, and they can only huddle together for warmth.

After all, this black guy is willing to take some risks as long as you coax him with a few words.

However, the differential treatment and daily unpleasantness still caused a significant rift in the hearts of the people in this middle-class guild.

A black dot appeared in the distance, and the strongest black man was the first to discover it.

"Hey!"

He shouted in surprise, "Who are you?!"

"Who are you?"

Li Xiang was not nervous at all and responded calmly.

After joining [Light of Green Mountain], his combat power is still very weak.

But at this moment he is very confident!

It's simply overwhelming!
There is no other reason.

There's someone behind you!

The strongest man who is leading by a huge margin, the big brother who almost dominates the list!
Now it's hiding behind his back!
Li Xiang had never felt his back so strong before, and even felt inexplicably comfortable!

Although it seemed a bit strange to have a grown man like Xiao so close behind me...

But right now, I should be invincible in the entire region! ?
Fortunately, Li Xiang knew his own strengths and weaknesses, and understood that the guild sent him here to confuse the other party and to extract some information.

Otherwise, he really wanted to take this opportunity to act big!

【Dark Horse Broker·Ideal】

Almost all the people who came from afar gave Li Xiang an [Eye of Identification].

never heard of that……

There's no blood on his body...

Feeling the breath, it doesn't seem very strong.

The black man immediately felt emboldened.

"Hello! Are you alone?"

"No, my partner is here too."

There was some commotion among the crowd.

This guy isn't a lone wolf, there are actually other people with him. Could there be other guilds nearby?!
However, after seeing Li Xiang's nationality, they began to have fantasies.

Perhaps, the guild behind this guy should be able to...

Black people are not very smart, but they are not too stupid when it comes to interests.

After the woman's anxious whispered reminder, he also asked sincerely: "Hey! Brother!"

"It's so nice to meet you! Can I know your guild?"

"Well... I can only tell you that it's probably about mid-range."

Li Xiang had discussed this with Ling Xiao before coming.

Fame is sometimes not a good thing, but rather a burden.

When the attitudes of both parties are unclear, it is better to keep a low profile.

"Hey! Brother! You won't even tell the guild, I'm worried you might be planning to do something to us!"

The black man was somewhat dissatisfied, with some complaining words mixed in his words.

Seeing the atmosphere was a little subtle, Li Xiang reminded him in time: "The reason the guild sent me here is actually because I am the weakest, so as not to cause any misunderstandings, so..."

"WTF!? Are you trying to threaten me!?"

The black man got excited when he heard it. His brain couldn't process what was going on, so he tore off his warm clothes while swearing, revealing his strong muscles.

"You son of a bitch! Wait till I rip your ass off..."

As if realizing that Li Xiang’s fighting ability was indeed not good enough, the black man suddenly rushed forward while cursing, charging straight at him like a mad black bull!
Not to mention Li Xiang, even Ling Xiao didn't expect this.

Start a fight over a disagreement?
Do you really not think about the consequences at all?

Stereotypes really do make sense…

Li Xiang cursed in his heart, but his feet did not move at all.

Although the black man's burst of speed was considered outstanding among the second-level awakeners, the information he had discovered was indeed about someone on the top 100 list.

but……

The hand on his shoulder gave Li Xiang the confidence to face any pressure.

Like to bully the weak?

Do you like to get angry and hurt others when you disagree with something?
Exactly!

The strongest one is on my side!

The others' eyes widened, not at their own president, but at Li Xiang as if they had seen a ghost.

In fact, Ling Xiao's appearance is no different from the legendary ghost.

There was nothing unusual, and no special effects like flashing lights.

This guy just casually "slipped" out from behind that weakling! ?
The black man who initiated the charge naturally saw it, but he didn't care.

There is no brain left to think.

His talent is well-suited to the awakened profession, similar to Beast Frenzy.

After activating and strengthening himself with the blood of several kinds of monsters, he thought he had entered a combat state. Even if he lost most of his sanity, he could still advance a few more places with his pure combat power!
He even felt that those people ahead of him would not be his match if they really fought!
One more gigolo?

What’s the use!?
It's been a while since I tasted human blood. I hope this guy's blood...

Bang——

The black man's forward figure suddenly stopped.

Because an ice flower quietly bloomed at some point, and the rapidly exploding thorns overlapped and intertwined his body!

However, he does have some strength.

The perfectly cast [Ice Spike Trap] was ultimately not powerful enough to trap it directly.

But the black man's rhythm was disrupted by this sudden attack. Although he broke the obstacle, he still lost his balance and fell forward!
Before he could struggle, several more ice flowers bloomed!

If one is not enough, then get a few more!

Now when Ling Xiao casts basic ice magic, there is almost no consumption.

The black man had no chance to display his most powerful physique and close combat skills in front of him!
in a blink.

The black man couldn't move.

Only the head was exposed, and the rest of the body was blocked by dense and intertwined ice spikes.

This was because Ling Xiao did not have the intention to kill. Otherwise, with the continuous ice spike traps, this guy would probably not be able to withstand a few waves and would be pierced into a sieve with his strength.

Perhaps because of the black man's rude remarks just now, a thick and long ice spike "coincidentally" pierced an indescribable position.

The black man's eyes bulged out in pain and shame.

But there was no anger, only confusion and fear.

Because his defense was broken, he was forced to exit the frenzy and regained his lost brain. He also used the [Eye of Identification] in time to see the person's name.

[…Owl]

Just by looking at the last short nickname, the black people's hearts fell into an ice cave.

"You...you are Owl!?"
