They found an empty spot and left after putting down the corpse.

After He Qi saw it, he immediately came to the corpse that had just been moved.

The people who had been following him carefully hid in the dark and watched.

He Qi looked at the corpse and thought to himself, “Collect it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the system’s voice sounded.

[ Collect successful! ]

[ Acquired high-tier fire attribute skill book: Skyfire Meteor. ]

He didn’t expect it to really be able to absorb the things on the corpse!

As the system’s voice disappeared, a book suddenly appeared in He Qi’s hand.

He lowered his head to take a look. It was the high-tier fire attribute skill book that the system had mentioned.

After learning the skills in the book, his ability would be more powerful.

Moreover, this was a high-tier skill book. The more familiar he was with the skill, the more powerful his ability’s damage would be!

Looking at his ordinary clothes, this person actually had a high-tier skill book on him!

Could it be that this skill book had an unusual origin?

Whatever, this was a high-tier skill book!

Who wouldn’t be jealous if they saw it!

He Qi put the skill book into his backpack in satisfaction and looked at the corpse again.

[ The target has no resources, nothing to collect! ]

He Qi moved his gaze away. He had achieved his purpose of coming here today.

He had confirmed that this system could only collect resources from the corpse.

As for other functions, he could only slowly explore them in the future.

With this thought in mind, he lifted his feet and walked out of Cheng An Ridge.

The people behind him saw this and followed him.

He Qi stood outside and took a deep breath. Then, he walked in the direction he came from. He wanted to go home as soon as possible.

He wanted to learn the skills in the skill book to make his strength stronger!

Seeing that there weren’t many people around, the people behind him attacked He Qi.

He Qi, who was walking in front, suddenly felt a force attacking him from behind.

Turning around, he saw someone using his ability on him.

He Qi hurriedly dodged and used his ability on that person.

After all, there wasn’t anyone here. Even if he killed that person, as long as he didn’t say anything, no one would know that he was the one who killed that person!

With that thought in mind, his ability became more and more ruthless.

For a moment, He Qi used three abilities to attack him.

The ground started to shake violently, and the wind made the fire grow stronger and stronger.

The man in front of him was staggering. He couldn’t even stand properly, let alone attack He Qi.

At that moment, the voice of the man in front of him rang out, “He Qi!”

His tone was filled with anger, and He Qi could tell who he was from his voice.

“Sheng Heyi, you’ve caused trouble for me time and time again. This time, I won’t let you off so easily!”

As he spoke, the attack on him grew faster and faster. Even when the fire surrounded him and burned his entire body, He Qi didn’t take back his special ability.

After He Qi saw that his ability had killed him, He Qi took back his ability.

He walked to his corpse and said in his heart, “Take it.”

[ This target doesn’t have any resources, nothing to collect! ]

Hearing the system’s words, He Qi sneered.

Without any power, Sheng Heyi still dared to come to deal with him? He was simply courting death!

After glancing at his corpse, He Qi turned around and left.

After today, his family would investigate his death. He had to quickly increase his strength!

Half an hour later, He Qi returned to his room and took out the high-tier skill book to read.

After He Qi returned home, in the land of Cheng An Ridge.

The corpse that He Qi encountered suddenly sat up.

He sat on the ground and panted heavily. Then, he stood up and walked outside.

As he walked, he felt around his body. He stopped and searched his entire body, but he could not find anything. The skill book was gone.

“Strange, I clearly put it here. Why did it suddenly disappear?” he muttered.

“Could it be that they chased after me and took it back?”

The person suddenly stopped and said with a frown.

“No! I have to go again!”

With that, he quickly walked out of Cheng An Ridge.

At night, in a luxurious house, a woman was walking to and fro in front of the sofa.

At this time, the middle-aged man on the sofa sighed and said, “Don’t walk anymore. You’re making me dizzy.”

When the woman heard that, she stopped and looked at the man on the sofa. “You don’t care about your son at all. He hasn’t come home yet. He must be in some kind of danger!”

When he heard this, the man pulled the woman over and let her sit on the sofa. “He has ability. What kind of danger could he be in? Don’t worry. He’s already so big. Nothing bad will happen to him.”

The woman shook off his hand and turned to look at him. She said anxiously, “My eyelids are twitching today. Something bad must have happened. You’d better send someone to look for him.”

The man sighed when he heard the woman’s words and replied, “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll send someone to look for him.”

After he finished speaking, he picked up his phone and dialed a subordinate’s number.

“Immediately bring someone to look for my son’s whereabouts!” He ordered in a deep voice.

When he heard the “Yes” on the other end of the phone, he hung up.

At this moment, he looked at the woman beside him and said, “Don’t worry. We’ll find him very soon.”

The woman did not answer him. The bad premonition in her heart grew stronger as time passed.

An hour later, the man’s cell phone rang.

He quickly picked up the call and put the cell phone to his ear.

“Have you found him?”

The person on the other end of the phone took a deep breath and told him the news.

“I have found him. He is already… already dead in Cheng An Ridge.”

After he said this sentence, he wouldn’t dare to breath.
