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

Lin Xiao's gaze fell on the talisman on Sikong Xinyou's chest. He checked it with the system and confirmed that it was indeed a third-tier item. Then he glanced at the shoes on Sikong Xinyou's feet.

These shoes seem to be second-tier items, but Lin Xiao always felt that Sikong Xinyou had not used the full power of these shoes.

"He does have some tricks up his sleeve..." Lin Xiao withdrew his gaze, no longer considering adding a shield to Sikong Xinyou.

"Let's go, you can check the exact location of the props!"

Sikong Xinyou nodded repeatedly, pinched his fingertips again, and stopped the divination after a dozen seconds.

"There's a cave halfway up this mountain, and the props seem to be inside. However, something seems to be interfering with my divination..."

"Is this trip dangerous?" Lin Xiao asked again.

Sikong Xinyou closed his eyes again, and after a while replied, "There was no great danger, just a false alarm!"

There was nothing unusual about the Leaf of Judgment, and Sikong Xinyou was not lying, unless there was something wrong with his talent.

Lin Xiao nodded and took the lead into the mountain.

As soon as Lin Xiao stepped inside, he immediately felt a sense of unreality, as if the surrounding environment had changed.

A spider half the height of a person suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. Sikong Xinyou screamed in fright and hid behind Lin Xiao.

"Hmph!" Lin Xiao merely snorted, then conjured an electromagnetic cannon at his fingertips, instantly shattering the giant spider.

"A mere first-tier spider scared you like this?" Lin Xiao's lips twitched slightly.

"There's nothing I can do, Brother Mu Ri. My talent doesn't have strong offensive capabilities, and I haven't obtained any offensive items..." Si Kong Xin You also looked helpless.

Having just witnessed Lin Xiao's strength, he became even more determined to latch onto Lin Xiao's coattails.

Seeing Sikong Xinyou's somewhat stubborn attitude, Lin Xiao felt helpless and had no choice but to turn around and continue heading towards the cave halfway up the mountain.

Lin Xiao also wanted to use the Instant Step technique to reach the mountainside in a few steps, but just as Lin Xiao's feet were about to move, a terrifying aura emanated from the mist at the mountaintop, preventing Lin Xiao from flying.

"Tsk, is there a no-fly zone...?"

Lin Xiao had no choice but to obediently begin climbing the mountain step by step.

The two walked another hundred meters when they suddenly heard a loud noise behind them.

When Sikong Xinyou looked behind him, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

A creature of mist, as large as a bulldozer, leaped out from behind them.

This mist creature was covered in purplish-black scales, and its three eyes were fixed on Lin Xiao and his companion. Its tail, formed from condensed mist, left trails on the mountainside with every flick.

With each breath, a tiny electric current is released from the tip of the nose.

Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed. He ignored Sikong Xinyou, who was hiding, and instead used the Mist System to investigate.

[Black-scaled Mist Beast, Tier 3, capable of manipulating electricity, extremely tough body, watch out for its tail!]

Lin Xiao smiled as he looked at the introduction of the Mist System: "It's not even as strong as that centipede from the safe period. At least it turned some effects into something like descriptive terms."

This time, Lin Xiao did not use the Ever-Changing Ring on his hand, but instead drew out the Crimson Mantis Blade, which had been synthesized to the third tier.

However, the current Mantis Blade, perhaps because of the combination of the items from Liu Yindi, has become somewhat duller in color, and in some places, an even more crystalline green has emerged than before.

Lin Xiao gripped the mantis blade tightly with both hands, took a step in the blink of an eye, and instantly appeared next to the black-scaled mist beast, slashing the mantis blade toward the beast's neck.

"laugh……"

Lin Xiao's attack pierced directly into the mist beast's neck. The black-scaled mist beast screamed in pain, and then purple electricity surged from its entire body.

The electric current traveled along the mantis blade towards Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao loosened his grip, leaving the mantis blade embedded in the mist beast's neck.

The electric current was ineffective and did not harm Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao raised his foot and kicked the mantis blade left on the mist beast's neck.

With a "whoosh," the mantis blade sank completely into the mist beast's neck.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Lin Xiao was about to unleash his sword energy to sever the head of the mist beast, he heard a whooshing sound behind him.

The mist beast's tail lashed out at Lin Xiao with the force of a thunderbolt.

Lin Xiao instantly stepped forward and dodged the attack.

The whip lashed the ground hard, shattering the area within a radius of several dozen meters.

Sikong Xinyou watched Lin Xiao's dangerous actions with a pounding heart.

Just now, Sikong Xinyou really wanted to shout for Lin Xiao to dodge the whip, but he was afraid that his shout would distract Lin Xiao.

"There's no reason for this! My innate abilities shouldn't be wrong. It was clearly a false alarm from the divination, so how could I have encountered such danger!"

Sikong Xinyou looked annoyed, believing that his talent had ruined the two of them.

Lin Xiao remained completely calm, even lightly patting the dust off his sleeves.

"Whoosh!"

Another lash came at Lin Xiao. This time, Lin Xiao did not dodge, but stood still and took the blow.

Lin Xiao was unharmed, despite Sikong Xinyou's horrified gaze.

"It didn't even break through one of my shield layers?" Lin Xiao glanced at his shield layer count and found it was still 31 layers.

Then he glanced at the astonished Sikong Xinyou in the distance.

"Forget it, I'm not going to tease you anymore. I'd better get rid of you while I'm at it!" Lin Xiao said softly.

The next second, a sword aura thirty meters long flew out instantly, slicing directly across the belly of the mist beast.

The Black Scale Mist Beast's body was instantly separated into its front and rear halves.

Then the two halves of the corpse swayed and fell to the ground.

Lin Xiao took two steps forward and retrieved the other mantis blade back into his hand.

Sikong Xinyou, meanwhile, hid in the distance, staring blankly at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao clapped his hands, put the Mantis Blade back into his system inventory, and then waved to signal Sikong Xinyou that he could come out.

Sikong Xinyou emerged from his hiding place and stared blankly at Lin Xiao.

He absolutely did not calculate Lin Xiao's strength. His calculation of a false alarm was something Sikong Xinyou had always thought meant they would not encounter any enemies, but he never expected it to be like this.

Lin Xiao easily dealt with the enemy, which was a false alarm for the worried Sikong Xinyou.

"Sikong Xinyou, you'll lead the way from now on. You should know the exact location, right?"

Upon hearing Lin Xiao's question, Sikong Xinyou immediately snapped out of his daze and nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, Boss Mu Ri, I already know where the cave where the item is hidden is. I guarantee you'll get it!"

Sikong Xinyou looked at Lin Xiao with an extremely solemn expression.
