Qin Feng followed the trail of blood, rushing towards its source.
Soon, he found the first source of the blood, a woman's corpse.
His eyes lit up at the sight of the corpse.
This meant he could acquire a new talent, and it also meant that the Tusk Wild Boar was nearby.
He quickly moved to the side of the corpse, beginning to extract…
A flash of white light!
【Endless Extraction Successful! Gained 2 Agility Points!】
Huh~!
He only got 2 Agility Points.
Why wasn't it a talent ability?
Qin Feng was slightly taken aback.
After a moment of thought, he understood.
The woman must have possessed a talent that he already had. Therefore, there was no value in extracting it, and it only resulted in attribute points.
Of course, this was only his speculation.
In reality, his speculation was correct.
The woman's talent was F-Grade Visual Enhancement, which was inferior to his E-Grade Visual Transcendence, rendering it valueless for extraction.
As a result, Qin Feng's Endless Extraction would randomly extract some of the woman's attributes.
With that figured out, Qin Feng put away the woman's beginner short knife and continued his journey.
Following the scent of blood, he quickly found a second corpse, that of a middle-aged man.
He rushed over and began extracting…
【Endless Extraction Successful! Second F-Grade Talent Acquired - Olfactory Enhancement!】
【Two Talents Automatically Overlap and Strengthen, Undergoing Autonomous Evolution…】
【Evolution Failed…Your Olfactory Talent Remains at F-Grade.】
Huh!
This time, it failed!
Ah!
Qin Feng felt a tinge of regret.
However, talent evolution was inherently probabilistic; failure was normal.
He put away the beginner short knife next to the body and continued his search for corpses.
He soon discovered a third corpse, just a few dozen meters away.
It was a robust man who had likely enjoyed exercising in his life.
Once again, he began extracting…
【Endless Extraction Successful! Acquired E-Grade Talent - Constitution Enhancement!】
Hey!
It succeeded!
And it was the Constitution talent he most needed!
Qin Feng was overjoyed.
So far, he had the D-Grade Strength Enhancement talent for his Strength.
He had the E-Grade Speed Enhancement talent for his Agility.
He had the E-Grade Constitution Enhancement talent for his Constitution.
He also had the E-Grade Visual Transcendence and F-Grade Olfactory Enhancement for his Energy.
All four dimensions now had talent abilities, making him well-rounded and without any weaknesses.
This was truly amazing!
Qin Feng couldn't contain his delight.
Indeed, extracting human corpses yielded the greatest rewards!
Continue!
He needed to keep searching for corpses!
The Tusk Wild Boar had killed four people; he had only found three corpses, meaning there should be one more.
The last one should be Liu Yun Chang.
Qin Feng had a vague memory of Liu Yun Chang.
He was a Level 2 powerhouse, and it seemed he had also awakened a D-Grade talent.
The thought of a D-Grade talent stirred his excitement again.
D-Grade talents were quite rare.
In the entire Beginner Village, only 17 people had awakened D-Grade talents.
Wang Qiang was dead, and now Liu Yun Chang was also dead.
That meant only 15 people remained who had awakened D-Grade talents.
If he could find Liu Yun Chang's corpse, he could obtain his D-Grade talent.
Then, he would possess two D-Grade talents by himself.
This thought fueled his anticipation and intensified his search.
A quarter of an hour later, he had thoroughly searched the surrounding area, but he didn't find Liu Yun Chang's corpse or the Tusk Wild Boar.
Strange!
How could he not find Liu Yun Chang's corpse?
The four of them had clearly been killed together!
Logically, his body should have been near the other three corpses.
“Hey! Over there…“
At that moment, Qin Feng spotted a beginner short knife amidst a patch of tangled grass.
Beside the short knife, there were some beast tracks and signs of dragging a corpse.
Following those traces, he discovered that the wild grass along the way was trampled down and there was a trail of blood.
It was obvious that the Tusk Wild Boar had dragged Liu Yun Chang away, leaving this trail behind.
Strange!
Why would the Tusk Wild Boar drag Liu Yun Chang's body?
Could it be that it wanted to eat the corpse?
This thought made Qin Feng anxious.
He picked up the beginner short knife and quickly followed the traces.
If the Tusk Wild Boar ate the corpse, he would lose the chance to obtain the D-Grade talent…
Following the trail, Qin Feng continued his pursuit.
A quarter of an hour later, he reached the end of the trail.
It was a slightly elevated mound on the grassland.
From a distance, it looked unremarkable.
Only when he got closer did he notice that there was a cave entrance hidden beneath the mound.
The trail of blood ended right at the cave entrance.
It was clear that the Tusk Wild Boar had dragged Liu Yun Chang's corpse into the cave.
“It seems this is the place.”
Qin Feng murmured to himself.
He approached the cave entrance and peered inside.
The cave was dark, with only pitch black, and he couldn't see anything; he didn't know how deep it went.
Just then, a gust of wind blew in from the cave, carrying a faint stench, the smell of blood, and the damp mustiness of the darkness.
For some reason, Qin Feng felt a prickling sensation on his scalp as he stood at the entrance.
This cave gave him a feeling of extreme danger.
Then, he thought he was overreacting.
This cave should be the Tusk Wild Boar's lair.
The Tusk Wild Boar was only a Level 1 mutated beast. With his current strength, he could easily kill it.
With that in mind, he held his breath and prepared to enter the cave.
Hiss~！Hiss~！Hiss~！
Just then, strange hissing sounds came from inside the cave.
沙~！沙~！沙~！
Then there was a tremor in the ground, as if something was rushing towards the entrance.
Qin Feng was startled and quickly retreated.
唰~！
A flash of red light, and a massive monster emerged from the cave.
Qin Feng took a closer look and saw that it was a seven-meter-long giant serpent.
It looked like the Venomous Nine-Ring Snake, but it was larger, and its rings were not nine but ten.
Strange!
Shouldn't this cave be the Tusk Wild Boar's lair?
Why was a giant serpent emerging?
The True Sight Eye activated instantly…
【Beast】：Venomous Ten-Ring Snake (Mutated)
【Level】：1
【Combat Strength Evaluation】：5 Stars
【Traits】：Savage, Bloodthirsty, Venomous
【Skill】：Venomous Mist
【Drop Rate】：1%
【Status】：Mind-Controlled (Combat Strength Enhanced in this state)
Hey!
It's a mutated beast!
Combat strength is 5 stars!
Qin Feng was both surprised and delighted.
Mutated beasts are rare.
For him, encountering a mutated beast meant a huge reward.
Especially the drop rate of mutated beasts, which is ten times that of ordinary beasts.
However, as a Level 1 mutated beast, the Silverback Grey Wolf's combat strength only reached a maximum of 4 stars.
Why is the Venomous Ten-Ring Snake's combat strength 5 stars?
This is a whole level higher!
What's even more shocking is that the giant serpent possesses a Venomous Mist skill.
The Silverback Grey Wolf didn't have any skills.
This shows that the giant serpent is much stronger than the Silverback Grey Wolf.
Thinking about this, Qin Feng didn't dare to take it lightly; he drew his Blood Wolf War Blade and faced the giant serpent.
“Hey! This is…“
Just then, through the True Sight Eye's scrutiny, he noticed an additional status attribute of the giant serpent.
【Status】：Mind-Controlled (Combat Strength Enhanced in this state)
No wonder the giant serpent's strength reached 5 stars; it was originally in a peculiar state!
But who was controlling it?
Qin Feng was puzzled. He scrutinized the Venomous Ten-Ring Snake, noticing its blood-red eyes, dazed expression, and lack of intelligence...
唰~！唰~！唰~！
Before he could ponder any further, three more beasts emerged from the cave.
They were a giant rabbit, a giant rat, and a massive wild boar, all with blood-red eyes and dazed expressions.
He quickly used the True Sight Eye to scan the three beasts.
The next second, his expression changed.
These three were all mutated beasts: the Level 1 Mutated Sabretooth Rabbit, the Level 1 Mutated Black Rat, and the Level 1 Mutated Tusk Wild Boar.
They were all in a mind-controlled state, with 5-star combat strength.
In a split second, the ferocious aura of the four mutated beasts combined, surrounding him…
