Chapter 16 - Enormous Discovery, Hidden Paradise!

Chapter 16 – Enormous Discovery, Hidden Paradise!Qin Feng directly opened the treasure chest.

A burst of white light shone. The treasure chest disappeared, and he gained a black ring in his hand. It was exquisite and antique.

[Treasure chest successfully opened! Obtained a Tier 1 item — Low-grade Storage Ring!]

[Low-grade Storage Ring: Contains a ten-cubic-meter dimensional space for storing items.]

He actually obtained a storage ring! This was exactly what he needed the most.

Speaking of which, although this low-grade storage ring was a tier 1 item, its value and utility were comparable to a tier 2 item.

Qin Feng was very satisfied.

He joyfully wore the storage ring. With a thought, he could sense the storage space within the ring. Afterward, he took off the package on his back. Inside the package were four exquisite steel swords and four novice short swords. Immediately, he stored all eight swords in the storage ring. These swords were resources; once the trading system of the Heavenly Dao opened, he could exchange items with others.

On another note, carrying so many swords had been affecting his combat performance. Now with the storage ring, all those problems were solved.

After finishing this, he started extracting from the giant snake…

[Endless Extraction Successful! Gained 3 points of Vitality attribute!]

Wonderful! He gained another 3 attribute points. The attribute points from mutated fierce beasts were higher than those from normal ones. Speaking of which, he had already reached Level 3, so his strength should have improved quite a bit!

Thinking this, he quickly pulled up his attribute panel.

[Name]: Qin Feng

[Level]: Level 3 (30/600)

[Reputation]: 1

[Strength]: 40 (Strength Enhancement, D-rank)

[Agility]: 46 (Speed Enhancement, E-rank)

[Constitution]: 48 (Constitution Enhancement, E-rank, Poison Resistance +100%)

[Vitality]: 57 (Enhanced Vision, E-rank; Enhanced Smell, F-rank)

[Innate Talent]: Endless Extraction (SSS-rank)

[Skills]: True Sight Eyes

[Combat Power Evaluation]: 4 stars

[Free Attributes]: 10

“Not bad! Not bad! Combat Power Evaluation reached 4 stars!” Qin Feng was delighted. His combat power evaluation was 4 stars, which meant his overall strength should reach 6 stars. Besides, he had 10 points of free attributes, but he didn’t need to allocate them urgently.

By the way, since he leveled up, his ranking should have improved too, right? Thinking this, Qin Feng entered the leaderboard channel.

[Level Ranking of Village 911 Newbies]

1st: Liu Xuan, Level 3.

2nd: Long Shan, Level 3.

3rd: Wu Yong, Level 3.

4th: Qin Feng, Level 3.

5th: Gu Ming, Level 2.

6th: Yu Wen, Level 2.

7th: Lei Jue, Level 2.

…

Sure enough, he rose to fourth place. However, Long Shan and Wu Yong also reached level 3 and were above him. Apart from that, there were already over twenty people who had reached level 2. It seemed that during this hour, everyone had been working hard to level up. Actually, during this hour, most of Qin Feng’s time was spent on the road. Currently, he withdrew from the Heavenly Light Screen and looked at the snake carcass by his feet.

At this moment, a thought crossed his mind, and he stepped forward to cut open the snake’s head. Carefully, he extracted the venom gland from within. Then, he used the tip of his sword to pierce the venom gland, coating it with some potent poison.

The blade which glinted with a cold silver light not a second ago, turned a deep blue, and emitted a chilling and bewitching poison glow. Next, he wrapped the remaining venom gland carefully in the cloth he had used earlier as a wrapper, then stashed it into his storage ring for future use.

With these tasks completed, Qin Feng took a deep breath, lifted his battle sword, and headed towards the cave. Three mutated ferocious beasts were awaiting him, ready to be slain. In his view, as long as he killed those three beasts, he should be able to surpass Longshan and Wu Yong in the rankings, and perhaps even catch up to Liu Xuan.

After a moment, Qin Feng arrived at the entrance of the cave. As he gazed into the pitch-black cavern, his expression turned solemn. He wasn’t concerned about the three mutated beasts teaming up; with his current strength, killing them shouldn’t be difficult. His worry was that there might be something terrifying lurking behind those beasts.

Regardless, he had to go in and find out. With this in mind, he took a deep breath, tightly gripped the hilt of his blade, and cautiously entered the cave. As soon as he stepped inside, he was met with a damp, moldy smell, mixed with a pungent scent of blood.

Qin Feng held his breath and proceeded cautiously. The cave was dimly lit, but he possessed visual enhancement abilities that granted him night vision. Soon, he adapted to the darkness, and was able to see objects within a twenty-meter radius.

The cave was deep, extending further underground. The deeper he went, the darker and colder the air became. After walking for over five hundred meters, he finally reached the end of the cave. However, he didn’t spot any ferocious beasts; instead, he saw a circular light screen at the bottom of the cave, about the height of a person, emitting a dim, ethereal light.

At first glance, the light screen resembled a gateway. Qin Feng was somewhat surprised. He quickly walked over, and extended a hand to cautiously touch the light screen.

The next second, his hand easily passed through the light screen without any harm. With newfound courage, he stepped through the light screen.

On the other side, his surroundings suddenly brightened, and he found himself in a small valley surrounded by cliffs. Various exotic flowers and grasses greeted his eyes, and the air was filled with a refreshing aroma.

Qin Feng’s heart stirred, and he activated his True Sight …

Damn! All Tier 1 Spiritual Herbs! There were probably more than forty of them!

Qin Feng exclaimed in delight. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ɴøvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

[Reminder: You have entered a different space. The Rankings channel will be inaccessible. The Personal Information and Chat channels will continue to function normally.]

The sudden reminder made Qin Feng slightly puzzled. Just then, his gaze fell to the bottom of the valley, and his expression changed. There, three mutated beasts—a Swordtooth Rabbit, a Mutated Black Rat, and a Fangtooth Wild Boar—were crouched while staring coldly at him.

Beside these three beasts lay the bodies of two humans. One had black hair and yellow skin; it was unmistakably the body of Liu Yunchang, someone Qin Feng vaguely recognized.

The other body had golden hair, fair skin, a tall stature, and was dressed in a suit and tie. Clearly not from the Dragon Nation, but of Caucasian descent. Qin Feng was taken aback. The 911 newbie village was composed entirely of people from the Dragon Nation; there were no Caucasians.

With a thought, he used his True Sight …

[Race]: Human (Deceased) 

[Origin]: From Newbie Village No. 496 

[Level]: Level 2 

[Talent]: ??? 

It turned out this Caucasian person came from a different newbie village. Qin Feng realized. It seemed that this space could connect to many newbie villages.

After all, Heavenly Dao initiated this killing game, introducing billions of Blue Star people and establishing millions of newbie villages. Connecting to other newbie villages wasn’t strange.

Thinking about it, having an extra body was definitely a good thing. It meant he could extract another talent. The body of the Caucasian man displayed the presence of a talent, although Qin Feng couldn’t determine what it was.

Nonetheless, advancing to Level 2 in such a short time indicated a decent talent. With this thought, he felt a bit of excitement. Just then, the three ferocious beasts ahead stirred and automatically moved aside, revealing what was behind them.  As Qin Feng caught sight of that object, he was instantly stunned. It was a mummified corpse sitting cross-legged. Its dropping head had dried yellow hair, and he wore a peculiar attire.

What was truly shocking was the fist-sized transparent hole in its chest, exposing the long-dried innards. Clearly, this mummified corpse had been killed by someone piercing through its chest, and it couldn’t possibly be deader.

Qin Feng could even smell the stench of decay emanating from it. However, he dared not take it lightly because the three mutated beasts were standing guard in front of the mummified corpse, seemingly protecting it …
