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

He looked down at the ground and saw that the ground, which had been corroded by the venom of the three spiders the night before, had returned to its original state.

Lin Xiao immediately went to the place where the three zombies and two ghosts had appeared.

Sure enough, Lin Xiao found some crystal-like objects there.

Lin Xiao quickly collected the source crystals and put them into the system's inventory.

The three zombies and two monsters dropped a total of 125 Source Crystals.

Lin Xiao now has 4600 Source Crystals, which have been converted into a string of numbers in his backpack.

Unfortunately, the three spiders didn't drop any source crystals, but they did drop a one-time use item for Lin Xiao.

[Venom Grenade: Tier 1, explodes upon throwing, inflicting poison on nearby enemies.]

Lin Xiao glanced at the item casually and then put it into his system inventory.

Then Lin Xiao stomped her foot, glanced at the time, and realized that after the toilet paper incident, it was already 11 a.m., three hours had passed.

He still had some things to verify. With a swift step, Lin Xiao's figure vanished from the spot, disappearing into the misty forest in a flash.

He first went to several places he had marked during the day the previous day.

The marked area is where Lin Xiao discovered the mist creatures in the Misty Forest; some of the creatures look like the guys who attacked his safe house at night.

Last night, Lin Xiao killed several giant insects, so he came to the place he marked yesterday to verify if it was them.

Lin Xiao arrived at the first marker and saw a giant insect swimming in the distance. He clicked his tongue.

"It's not...?"

Lin Xiao walked past more than twenty markers and found that there were giant insects at each marker.

"Does the Misty Forest during the day and the Misty Forest at night represent two completely different scenes?"

"Or was the nighttime attack by the mist creatures deliberately orchestrated by the Mist World?"

Two thoughts popped into Lin Xiao's mind, but he believed that his second guess was very likely to be correct.

After confirming this, Lin Xiao once again began hunting in the forest.

"I hope you can provide me with more Source Crystals!"

Thinking of the twenty-three marked locations, Lin Xiao took a step and disappeared from the spot.

A few minutes later, Lin Xiao appeared at the first location.

Located here is Lin Xiao's old friend, a giant mantis that can shoot sword energy.

However, this giant mantis is a full five meters long, and its two mantis arms are incredibly sharp.

The surrounding trees had all been cleared away, leaving a huge open space.

But the Lin Xiao of today is not the same Lin Xiao of a few days ago.

After the giant mantis spotted Lin Xiao, it only had time to unleash a sword aura before Lin Xiao used Instant Step to leap ten meters above its body.

At the same time, a 10-meter-long sword aura was unleashed by Lin Xiao from top to bottom, cleaving the giant mantis in two with a single strike.

The residual power of the sword energy did not diminish, and it penetrated more than ten meters underground before dissipating.

Seeing the giant mantis he had cut in two, Lin Xiao left without even looking up, using his Instant Step. He didn't find anything the giant mantis had dropped.

Ten minutes after Lin Xiao left, the soil that had been split open by the sword energy loosened slightly, but quickly stopped.

The second marker is a stick insect that is 20 meters long and 8 meters tall including its legs.

If it weren't for the cockroach's antennae frantically giving warnings, Lin Xiao would probably have been successfully ambushed by this stick insect.

However, the only thing worth praising about stick insects is their ability to hide.

Having lost its ability to hide, the stick insect was cleaved in two vertically by Lin Xiao's sword energy.

The third marker is a giant cicada.

The sound of cicadas was so loud that Lin Xiao wanted to cover his ears; the enormous noise echoed continuously through the forest.

The sound waves continuously passed through Lin Xiao's body, and his internal organs seemed to vibrate along with them.

"It's not the height of summer, and I don't drink orange soda, so why are you making such a loud cicada noise!"

Lin Xiao endured for a few seconds, then used a quick step to move dozens of meters away. After the sound had subsided slightly, he made a gun shape with his fingers and aimed at the annoying cicada.

"Bang!"

Lin Xiao uttered a soft sound, and an electromagnetic cannon streaked across the forest, instantly silencing the cicadas' chirping.

The fourth one is a giant dung beetle.

Lin Xiao held her nose and dared not get close, but in the end she still rewarded him with an electromagnetic cannon shot.

Fifth, sixth, seventh...

Lin Xiao cleared away the mist creatures in the marked areas one after another. When he reached the twenty-second mark, which was also the second to last mark, Lin Xiao finally slowed down his clearing pace.

Lin Xiao looked at the figure in the distance and activated the function to detect fog creatures, which was updated in the Fog System yesterday.

[Giant Centipede, Tier 2, 99 meters long, highly venomous, hard, fast, and agile]

"A second-tier giant centipede... I'll use you as a practice subject!"

Lin Xiao's eyes hardened, and with a stomp of his foot, he instantly appeared on the giant centipede's head.

The mantis-shaped double blades in his hand slashed fiercely at the head of the giant centipede.

With a "clang," the slash failed to penetrate the giant centipede's defenses.

The giant centipede's head only lowered slightly from the blow.

But soon, the giant centipede roared in pain, the enormous sound almost echoing throughout the forest.

The giant centipede stood upright, its 99-meter-long body almost completely upright.

It looked like a building over thirty meters tall, tilting and collapsing towards Lin Xiao.

Countless clumps of green venom sprayed from the giant centipede's mouth.

These venom clumps are several times more toxic than the three spiders from last night.

It only grazed a tiny bit of the tree trunk, but the spot it touched turned into a huge crater, as if something had gnawed it off—it was terrifying.

Upon landing, it quickly corroded a crater even larger than the venom mass.

Looking at the changes in his surroundings, Lin Xiao broke out in a cold sweat.

If this thing is even slightly scratched, Lin Xiao will be reduced to nothing... even if it's a clone.

The giant centipede, standing upright, was taller than the surrounding trees.

Lin Xiao used the Instant Step technique and flew straight up, reaching the same height as the giant centipede in three or four seconds.

At the same time, he swung the mantis knife in his right hand, and a ten-meter-long sword aura slashed horizontally, swiftly attacking the upright centipede's body.

But the giant centipede's body flashed strangely, dodging the incoming sword energy.

Then, Lin Xiao saw a mocking expression appear on the giant centipede's face, as if it were saying, "Are you any good, you little rascal?"
