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

The electromagnetic cannon pierced straight through the giant centipede's body.

The charred body of the giant centipede, riddled with holes, slowly dissolved into mist.

Lin Xiao wondered if it was just his imagination, but the fog in the Misty Forest seemed a little thicker than it had been on the first day.

"It's probably just my imagination..."

Lin Xiao observed her surroundings, but also became more vigilant.

The corpse of the giant centipede, which had turned into mist, dropped two items.

One was a 200-point Source Crystal. Lin Xiao picked it up, wiped it on the tree trunk, and put it away.

Lin Xiao's Source Crystals reached 4800 points.

The other is a ring, or rather, a band.

[Venom Gland Ring: Tier 2, can consume mental energy to emit a swarm of venom]

Lin Xiao picked it up, glanced at the description of the poison gland ring, and then put it on the ring finger of her left hand.

The next target is the last of the 23 markers that Lin Xiao has currently identified.

This marking is, in Lin Xiao's opinion, a place he cannot deal with for the time being.

Lin Xiao quietly arrived here and looked towards the open space.

What appeared there was a huge beehive, more than 30 meters high and more than 10 meters in diameter.

Hundreds of bees... hundreds of bees the size of an adult human fist were constantly moving around in the hive.

Hundreds of bright, gleaming stingers flashed with a sharp light.

Looking at the hundreds of bees on the field, Lin Xiao thought for a moment and decided to retreat first, since he currently had almost no ability to attack in groups.

Lin Xiao decided to temporarily abandon dealing with the 23rd mark and instead continue to venture deeper into the Misty Forest.

Lin Xiao has already returned the poison gland ring to its original owner.

"Deconstruction!"

Deconstructing the poison gland ring: Estimated time required: 1 hour. Proceed with the deconstruction?

"yes!"

During this time, Lin Xiao opened the regional chat channel and found that people were talking about things related to her.

Or rather, it was a consequence of the electromagnetic cannon that Lin Xiao had just unleashed, which could travel at a speed of 4000m per second.

Zheng Donggang: "Holy crap, what was that sound just now? It startled me!"

Xing Xiaoyu: "Me too, I saw a purple laser streak flash across the forest..."

Jiang Xiu: "Damn it, that weird thing landed right next to my safe house. Luckily, I had the protection of the safe period, otherwise I would have been dead for sure!"

Sui Tang: "Could it be an attack coming from somewhere? I heard the sound too..."

Lin Xiao's lips twitched upon seeing this, and she silently apologized to those who had been affected.

Then Lin Xiao coughed lightly and closed the regional chat channel.

Well, if you can't see it, just pretend you didn't do it.

However, some people's comments gave Lin Xiao a jolt.

Those who witnessed the attack or heard the explosion were likely not too far away from him.

Lin Xiao glanced at the time and realized that after cleaning up, it was now 3:40 PM.

There wasn't enough time today, so Lin Xiao decided to give up on finding other survivors and postpone it until tomorrow.

Lin Xiao waited a while longer; an hour had passed since she began deciphering the poison gland ring.

Deconstruction successful

Item Name: Poison Gland Ring

[Description: Second tier. Consumes mental energy to launch a venom ball. The more mental energy input, the greater the power of the venom ball. Current mental energy consumption limit: 100 points.]

Projection consumes 50 stamina points.

Lin Xiao did not test the power of the Venom Cluster, but the remaining information that Deconstruction gave him was as follows.

The 100-point venom ball at the maximum mental energy input level is already equivalent to the venom ball spat out by a second-tier giant centipede.

The venom ball is 1 meter in diameter. If the target does not have anti-venom properties, this ball of venom will leave no trace of their body.

If it were a human, just 1 point of mental energy would be enough to condense a ball of venom about 1 cm in size, which would cause fatal damage to them.

"Not bad, it adds another means of attack."

Lin Xiao put the poison gland ring on her finger and looked at it, very satisfied.

"I hope more rings or similar items drop..."

Looking at the other nine empty fingers, Lin Xiao couldn't help but think of something.

Although Lin Xiao really wanted to synthesize it to +1 level to see what additional effects it would have, she decided to wait until tonight to discuss it further.

Lin Xiao used the system inventory to send the poison gland ring back to his clone's hands.

The clone had only been wandering around for an hour and had already marked eight more mist creatures.

After Lin Xiao reattached most of his consciousness to his clone, he resumed his hunt.

Lin Xiao wandered through the Misty Forest, frantically killing the creatures within the mist.

These past few times, Lin Xiao hasn't encountered any creatures as troublesome as the giant centipede.

At 5000 meters and 6000 meters, Lin Xiao spread out in a fan shape across the front of the safe house, killing all the mist creatures within a 6000-meter radius.

It was already 7:30 p.m. When Lin Xiao looked at the darkening Misty Forest, he decided to go back to the safe house first.

Lin Xiao used Instant Step and returned to the safe house in just 10 minutes.

He touched his stomach and finally felt a little hungry.

After regaining his consciousness, Lin Xiao projected four steamed buns, three boxes of milk, and an orange so sour it made your teeth ache.

After a day of hunting, Lin Xiao slept until morning and his stamina returned to full, having decreased by 20 points to 80.

My mental strength also decreased by 10 points due to the hunting operation.

After eating all the projected items, Lin Xiao's stamina returned to an extremely high level.

Stamina: 670/100

[Mental Strength: 740/100]

Seeing such high physical and mental strength, Lin Xiao thought for a moment and decided to synthesize the poison gland ring he had just obtained to +1 to see the effect.

"Projection! Composite!"

Stamina, Mental Strength -50

Item Name: Poison Gland Ring +1

Brief Description: Tier 2, details omitted. Maximum mental energy consumption is 200 points. Can condense a venom ball with a diameter of 2 meters, granting the wearer resistance to venom.

Antitoxic: Increases the wearer's resistance to toxins by 5%.

"Antitoxic..."

Looking at the results, Lin Xiao thought about the centipede he had discovered last night...

[A centipede, third tier, 999 meters long, highly venomous, incredibly tough, and capable of regeneration...]

"Is it highly poisonous...?"

"Perhaps this thing was dropped to deal with centipedes."

Lin Xiao ultimately decided to prioritize upgrading the Poison Gland Ring. As for upgrading the Electric Beetle Helmet and Shadow Mask, he would postpone it for a while.

"Projection! Begin!"
