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

The sword energy had also injured the head. Perhaps it was in pain, or perhaps the head knew that this prey was not so easy to deal with.

The man and his head stood facing each other in this confrontation.

Soon, a minute passed, and the Swift Sword Qi cooled down.

Lin Xiao's lips curled up slightly: "I'm waiting for the temperature to cool down, so what are you waiting for?"

As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, the head seemed to sense the danger, opened its blood-red maw, and shot towards Lin Xiao again.

"This time, the sword energy is four meters long!"

Lin Xiao crossed the two green mantis blades, and two even more powerful sword energies were unleashed in a cross shape.

It flew at an even faster speed and slammed hard into the head's cheek.

The head, with a neck tens of meters long, was split into four pieces by the cross-shaped sword energy, which also tore apart the neck connected to the back of the head.

Its long neck could no longer extend, and it loosened its body from being wrapped around the tree trunk in the misty forest.

With a loud "thud," it crashed heavily to the ground.

Lin Xiao glanced at the spot where the... uh, the human-faced snake had fallen, but didn't find any items that had been dropped.

"Tsk..."

Lin Xiao looked at it with disdain for a moment, then walked up to the treasure chest he had just seen.

Actually, this thing only looks terrifying. Its strength is not even as good as the giant beetle that fired electromagnetic cannons yesterday, and it has many weaknesses.

For example, this human-faced snake's only attack method is a straight, projectile attack, and its skill to intimidate Lin Xiao is only useful during their first meeting.

Furthermore, this guy is almost completely devoid of intelligence; if he were, he wouldn't have taken that three-meter-long sword aura head-on the first time.

At first, Lin Xiao thought that the human-faced snake was trying to intimidate him by biting off the sword energy.

It wasn't until the second and third three-meter-long sword energies that I realized that it was because after it was launched, it was impossible to dodge and could only take the attack head-on.

"Sigh, a treasure chest guarded by such a monster probably doesn't contain anything good..."

Lin Xiao had no expectations for what was inside the treasure chest.

He had just checked it with the Mist System, and it turned out to be just the lowest-level bronze treasure chest in the Mist World.

Even if it's activated, it probably won't yield anything of great value.

Lin Xiao really wanted to try to deconstruct it, but unfortunately, the clone couldn't use the original body's talent.

Lin Xiao had just tried it, and the treasure chest couldn't be moved or put into the system inventory.

"Sigh... never mind, I'll just open it and see!"

Lin Xiao didn't waste any more time. He tapped the treasure chest, and the bronze treasure chest opened.

"Huh? What's this?"

[Skill Book: Instant Step, Tier 1, consumes 10 points of Spirit Power, allows you to instantly appear anywhere within a 3-meter radius (no cooldown)]

[Note: You can step on your right foot with your left foot and fly into the sky]

"Oh? A skill book? And one with no cooldown? It's just that the range is too short."

Lin Xiao tried it out and found that the skill book could actually be stored in the system's inventory.

After Lin Xiao put the skill book into his backpack, the bronze treasure chest in front of him turned into black particles and disappeared into the misty forest.

"Tsk, I thought I could get the original body to come and deconstruct it..."

Meanwhile, the original body inside the safe house reopened its eyes, and Lin Xiao shifted some of its attention to the original body.

With a flick of his wrist, the skill book appeared in his palm.

"Deconstruction!"

Without saying a word, Lin Xiao's deconstruction talent began to operate.

[Deconstructing the skill book "Instant Step": Estimated time required: 10 minutes. Deconstruct now?]

"yes!"

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the clone encountered no danger during those ten minutes.

Deconstruction successful

Item Name: Skill Book - Instant Step

Description: Tier 1, consumes 10 points of mental energy, can instantly appear anywhere within a 3-meter radius of the user (no cooldown)

Projection consumes 5 stamina points.

Lin Xiao glanced at his stamina and mental strength. His stamina was originally 118 points, but it dropped to 115 points because he had traveled so far and fought with the human-faced snake for a while.

Stamina: 115/100

[Mental Strength: 105/100]

Lin Xiao touched her stomach, her expression somewhat unnatural.

Honestly, he really, really doesn't want to eat bread anymore.

But there's nothing we can do about it; we haven't found a replacement yet.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to take a deep breath and project another bag of bread with a +10 rating and a bottle of mineral water with a +10 rating, which he then viciously stuffed into his stomach.

Stamina: 217/100

[Mental Strength: 260/100]

"Projection, Skill Book Instant Step *10"

Ten Instant Step skill books appeared in the safe house. Then, Lin Xiao immediately activated the synthesis talent and combined the eleven skill books together.

Item Name: Skill Book - Instant Step +10

Description: Tier 1, consumes 0 points of mental energy, can appear anywhere within a 33m radius of the user (no cooldown)

"???"

Lin Xiao stared at the synthesized skill book with a puzzled look on his face.

"Good heavens, the cost has dropped to 0, and the range has increased to 33 meters. Is this still a Tier 1 skill?"

Lin Xiao simply made a complaint, then slapped the skill book onto his body and learned the Instant Step skill.

Then, Lin Xiao focused most of his consciousness back on his clone.

First, I closed my eyes and sensed it, and found that the clone could perfectly inherit the original's skills.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao opened his eyes, and his body suddenly appeared 33 meters away from where he was standing.

Lin Xiao's figure kept flashing around the area. Each time he disappeared, he would only appear for a moment before vanishing again.

Once again, Lin Xiao revealed himself, his eyes fixed on a tree not far in front of him.

Then Lin Xiao roared, "Flying Thunder God Technique!"

At the same time, his fingers moved erratically, pretending to form several hand seals, and then Lin Xiao's figure suddenly appeared behind the tree trunk.

……

After playing for a while, Lin Xiao stopped, but the excited look on her face remained.

"This is only a first-tier skill book, and it has already caused such a change. What about the second and third tiers?"

"If there is... what about the tenth tier?"

"Furthermore, the current skill effects are based on the fact that the talent hasn't been upgraded yet. What if the talent is upgraded in the future?"

These various speculations made Lin Xiao increasingly excited.

Although he already had a high opinion of his talent, his recent conjecture made him value it even more!
