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

Congratulations to the survivor for discovering the native inhabitants of the Mist World!

[Source Crystal +100]

The 100 Source Crystals were no longer of any interest to Lin Xiao. Now, Lin Xiao focused his attention on the seven large characters for "Natives of the Misty World".

"Natives of the misty world?"

Lin Xiao looked at the short, human-shaped figure who had fallen to the ground and was rubbing his head.

His attack had no effect on Lin Xiao; instead, he crashed headfirst into the shield surrounding Lin Xiao.

The green-skinned figure had a flat build and was only about the height of Lin Xiao's hips, basically the same height as the surrounding grass.

She wasn't wearing any decent clothes, just some tops and bottoms woven from the surrounding grass leaves.

"It hurts so much..."

She rubbed her head and muttered to herself.

"Huh? I can actually understand what she's saying?"

Lin Xiao thought that the first problem he would encounter when meeting the natives of the Mist World would be the language barrier, but he didn't expect that the Mist System had already translated it for him.

Suddenly, she looked up in alarm, rubbing her head, and cried out anxiously, "Don't set it on fire!"

Upon hearing the figure's call, Lin Xiao thought for a moment and then dispelled the flames on his hand.

"Phew...that scared me to death..."

"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you setting a fire like that?"

Then, the short, green-skinned figure stood up, put his hands on his hips, and glared angrily at Lin Xiao.

"Weren't you following behind me?" Lin Xiao asked, frowning.

"I……"

The figure in front of him was speechless for a moment, then his face turned red, and he looked at Lin Xiao with embarrassment and anger.

"Mind your own business! I was just... Hey, hey, hey, I was wrong, I was wrong, put the fire away, put the fire away!"

Seeing the flames reappear in Lin Xiao's palm, she, who was initially annoyed, immediately shrank back in fear.

"Who are you?" Lin Xiao looked at her, who had calmed down, nodded in satisfaction, and then began to ask questions.

"I... my name is Sheng, and by common usage, we should be called the Grass Spirit Clan."

She had initially been stubborn and unwilling to answer Lin Xiao's question, but when she saw Lin Xiao strike a pose as if to unleash flames, she immediately lowered her head and answered honestly.

"The Grass Spirit Clan..." Lin Xiao silently repeated to himself.

"Then why were you following me just now?"

Upon hearing Lin Xiao's question, Sheng hesitated to answer, but under Lin Xiao's intimidating presence, he still sighed.

"Ah... I... I ran away from my tribe. This is the first time I've met an outsider, and you're so tall, so I followed you for a while out of curiosity..."

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Xiao's lips twitched. He had thought that this Grass Spirit Clan was going to attack him or rob him of his things, but he didn't expect it to be just curiosity.

"So when did you start following me?" Lin Xiao asked, somewhat curious.

"Uh... I spotted you the moment you fell from the sky..."

"What?"

"Don't be angry. Before, I was just following you from a very, very far distance. But then, slowly, I don't know how, I gradually got closer..."

As Sheng spoke, he lowered his head again, and even moved his body back a little in fear, afraid that Lin Xiao would release the flames again.

Lin Xiao found Sheng's actions rather strange.

Why are you so afraid of fire?

Unexpectedly, Sheng raised his head and looked at Lin Xiao with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot: "I just said I'm from the Grass Spirit clan. Grass is most afraid of fire, isn't it?"

"Um... have you ever heard this saying?"

"What did you say?"

"Wildfire cannot burn it all; the spring breeze brings it back to life."

"oh!"

Upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, Sheng's eyes lit up: "Oh, that's a very philosophical statement. And then?"

"..."

"never mind……"

Lin Xiao slapped his forehead, decided to stop communicating with her, and prepared to leave.

Seeing Lin Xiao about to leave, Sheng became bolder. She could sense that the creature in front of her, who was twice her height, was not the kind of person who would start a fire so easily.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Survive!"

"Oh? This sounds interesting, include me!"

"No!"

"mean……"

Then, Sheng's eyes darted around for a moment before he looked at Lin Xiao again and said, "Then... shall I take you to see our clan's settlement?"

Upon hearing Sheng's words, Lin Xiao stopped in her tracks, which was about to leave.

"Aren't you afraid I'll harm your clan? Like, set a fire or something?"

Sheng Xiao ran a few steps forward, grabbed Lin Xiao's hand, and said to him nonchalantly, "Oh, it's alright. Our clan has a fourth-level elder, who is considered very strong around here."

"Hmm? A fourth-tier Grand Elder?"

"Then...you're not planning to lure me into your clan to kill me, are you?" Lin Xiao asked Sheng in a teasing tone as Sheng pulled her along.

"Impossible! I swear on our clan's grass god! We're just inviting you to be our guest and to give you a tour of our clan! You won't pose any danger to us!"

Sheng raised one hand, extended four fingers, and looked at Lin Xiao intently.

Looking at Sheng's solemn expression, Lin Xiao believed that the oath that the Grass Spirit Clan swore to the god they believed in was probably a vow that their clan had to uphold.

"Okay, okay, I believe you..." Lin Xiao said helplessly.

Actually, there was no need for Sheng to invite Lin Xiao. After meeting Sheng, Lin Xiao was already prepared to follow her and see these so-called indigenous people.

"Hehe, I sensed a strong aura of Source Crystal on this guy. We can't let such a wealthy person slip through our fingers!"

Sheng was thinking about this matter, but it did not violate the oath she had made. After all, her oath only stated that she would not cause danger to Lin Xiao himself, not that she would not cause any loss to the source crystals in his pocket.

Deconstruction complete

Sheng led Lin Xiao for a long time, and Lin Xiao's deconstruction was also completed.

Name: Sheng, Grass Spirit Clan, Rank Zero, Native of the Grass Spirit Realm, F-Rank Talent Ability: Source Crystal Perception

Projection Cost: 20 Stamina Points (Current projection level is insufficient; projection is temporarily unavailable)

"The Grass Spirit Realm?"

A word that Lin Xiao had never seen before appeared in the deconstructed information.

"A native of the Grass Spirit Realm? Or a native of the Mist World?"

These two different pieces of information made Lin Xiao think.

However, compared to the Fog System, Lin Xiao prefers to trust the information deconstructed by his own talent.

Lin Xiao sensed that he was about to encounter a terrifying truth, a truth that was inaccessible to him at his current level.

Lin Xiao swallowed hard, deciding to suppress those three words in her heart for the time being.
