Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

Lin Xiao accepted the Rock Essence Pill, and then left the cave with Sikong Xinyou.

Before leaving, Lin Xiao glanced to the side and found that the other passage had disappeared.

The passageway filled with corpses seemed to have never existed in the cave.

"What exactly is that?" This thought popped into Lin Xiao's mind. He even felt that even the fifth-level mountain god would not be able to survive in that misty river.

Sikong Xinyou did not see the road, so he did not understand why Lin Xiao suddenly stopped.

"Boss Mu Ri!" Si Kong Xin You's shout brought Lin Xiao back to his senses.

"Let's go!" Lin Xiao shook her head, temporarily putting aside thoughts of the river.

After leaving the cave, Lin Xiao looked up and noticed that the mist surrounding the mountaintop had dissipated somewhat.

Sikong Xinyou also noticed that the mist on the mountaintop had dissipated: "Brother Mu Ri, shall we go take a look at the top?"

"Never mind, we should go back!" Lin Xiao shook her head.

They descended the mountain together and returned to the place where they had first met.

From here on, they had to separate, since their routes back were different.

"Take care, Mr. Mu Ri! Contact me anytime if anything happens!" Sikong Xinyou waved to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao nodded and stepped into the barrier first. Sikong Xinyou watched Lin Xiao leave and then returned along the same path.

"Sigh... It seems that Boss Mu Ri doesn't like teaming up with others, oh wait, I mean Boss Lin Xiao!"

"However, the gains this time are much greater than when I was working alone. The number one fighter in our region is just ridiculously strong..."

While marveling at Lin Xiao's strength, Si Kong Xinyou also sighed at Lin Xiao's refusal to join his team.

Lin Xiao also spent some time returning to the Wood Soul Domain.

"Presumably, Sikong Xinyou already knows that I am Lin Xiao, the number one on both lists in region 114514."

Actually, Lin Xiao didn't intend to hide it from him. Survivors in other areas might not know the name Lin Xiao, but survivors in area 114514 definitely knew the name Lin Xiao.

To the people in area 114514, the name "Mu Ri" seemed like burying their heads in the sand.

"But Sikong Xinyou was quite cooperative with me!"

Lin Xiao reached out and flicked his wrist to take out the Rock Essence Pill.

"And... I never expected him to actually give me this Rock Essence Pill!"

"Well... I'll just project a Rock Essence Pill for him later." Lin Xiao put the Rock Essence Pill back into his system inventory.

While traveling through a forest, Lin Xiao's strange space trembled, and he released the queen ant.

The queen ant, now fully transformed, was terrifying. Her original black body had turned grayish-white, and two eyeballs had sprouted from the tips of her two antennae. Her body had also grown significantly larger.

[The Queen Ant, Tier 3, a creature never before seen in the Misty World; its specific abilities are unknown.]

"Even the Mist System doesn't know the Queen Ant's specific abilities?"

"Furthermore, I didn't expect the queen ant to have reached the third tier. Is it because she absorbed the strange energy for a few more days?"

When she evolved into the Queen of the Strange Ants, she was no longer the same species as the bullet ants in her original territory.

The nearly 100-meter-long ant queen quickly burrowed into the underground of the Wood Soul Domain and then disappeared without a trace.

However, Lin Xiao could vaguely tell where the Queen Ant was and that she was currently laying eggs.

"Perfect, this forest will be entrusted to her for development. Perhaps, the Queen of the Ghost Ants will become a new race in the Wood Soul Domain!"

Lin Xiao left the Queen Ant in the forest, letting it develop on its own.

Soon, Lin Xiao returned to Wood Soul City and went back to his residence.

Then he summoned a safe house and teleported back to his territory.

Lin Xiao hesitated, holding the scroll for talent level upgrades: "Which one should I upgrade first?"

Lin Xiao just tried it, and the synthesis level can no longer be improved using scrolls. In other words, Lin Xiao can only choose deconstruction or projection.

After hesitating for a moment between the two talents, Lin Xiao slowly shifted the scales toward the projection talent.

"Improving my projection talent will allow me to project living mist creatures, perhaps..."

Deconstruction, on the other hand, changes the original concept from touch to simply seeing something, which makes projection talent seem more suitable at the moment.

"I'll upgrade my projection talent!" After confirming, Lin Xiao immediately tore the scroll open.

A surge of light particles entered Lin Xiao's body, boosting his projection to +1.

Projector upgrade complete.

[Projection +1: Consumes mental energy to project an unlimited number of deconstructed items. Projected items are permanent. At the current level, can project deconstructed mist creatures, regardless of their lifespan. Explore the rest yourself. (Currently cannot project the same race, i.e., humans.) (Upgradeable; explore the upgrade conditions yourself.)]

"I can project living beings now!" The thought popped into Lin Xiao's mind.

Then, Lin Xiao's mind conjured up several mist creatures that could be projected.

Firstly, there was the zombie dog that Lin Xiao had deconstructed during the safe period.

Secondly, there is the zero-order life that Lin Xiao deconstructed!

"Sheng!" Lin Xiao's gaze fell on Sheng and the introduction of the projection talent.

"Humans cannot be projected at present! Does that mean that humans can be projected in the future?" Lin Xiao's pupils narrowed slightly as he thought about the future enhancements that the projection talent would bring.

"Projection!" Lin Xiao activated his projection talent, projecting a zombie dog.

A zombie dog appeared inside Lin Xiao's safe house and quickly began running around him.

"Spin, jump..." The zombie dog completed all the movements one by one. It seemed to have normal intelligence, but it completely obeyed Lin Xiao's commands.

Moreover, Lin Xiao suddenly felt an endless space appear in his mind. With a thought, Lin Xiao put the zombie dog into the space in his mind.

However, he failed to collect anything else, meaning that the space that suddenly appeared in Lin Xiao's mind could only collect the projected creatures.

"Are they telling me to mass produce troops? I'm not good at commanding battles!"

Lin Xiao muttered a complaint, then hesitated for a moment before slowly extending her hand: "Projection! Life!"

A green light flickered in Lin Xiao's safe house, and soon, a short figure gradually solidified and appeared in front of Lin Xiao.

"Xiao?" The short figure asked in a puzzled voice. Lin Xiao seemed to sense that it was Sheng himself standing there, and immediately gasped.

"Sheng... how are you feeling?" Lin Xiao asked nervously.

Sheng thought for a moment, then slowly replied, "I feel..."
