Excited, Qin Feng closed the attribute panel. Just then, a breeze blew, carrying a pungent smell in the air.
"Huh! This... is the scent of the Poisonous Nine-Ringed Snake!"
Qin Feng sniffed the air vigorously, his eyes lighting up. Immediately, he followed the scent.
For over three hours, while others were tirelessly killing ferocious beasts, he roamed around, getting a basic understanding of the Newbie Plains. In this vast plain, there were only five Level 1 ferocious beasts: Bloodfang Rabbit, Gnawing Giant Rat, Grassland Gray Wolf, Frenzied Wild Boar, and Poisonous Nine-Ringed Snake. The first four beasts meant nothing to him, leaving only the Poisonous Nine-Ringed Snake, which could provide him with two extractions.
However, the Poisonous Nine-Ringed Snakes were too scarce, and he had been hoping to find them.
Now that he had discovered the trace of the Poisonous Nine-Ringed Snake, how could he miss it? He immediately stealthily approached.
As he got closer, the stench in the air grew stronger, mixed with a peculiar fruity fragrance.
Strange!
Why is there a fruity fragrance?
Curious, Qin Feng accelerated his pace.
Soon, he arrived in a small forest, and the scent became even more intense. He knew the target was close.
Carefully, he crouched low, concealing himself among the low bushes. In this perilous world, he had to be cautious at all times.
After walking several dozen meters, he finally saw the target through the gaps in the bushes.
Under a large tree in front, a five-meter-long python coiled its body. It had nine red rings on its body, making it particularly eye-catching.
It was the Poisonous Nine-Ringed Snake!
Qin Feng took a deep breath, feeling a bit excited. Killing this snake would allow him to extract some energy attributes.
The Poisonous Nine-Ringed Snake was the strongest Level 1 ferocious beast in the Newbie Plains and the only one that could provide energy attributes. During this period, Qin Feng found that energy attributes were the most difficult to obtain. The harder to obtain, the more precious they were.
"Huh! The snake's belly..."
Suddenly, he noticed that the snake's belly was unusually large, as if it had swallowed something.
This caused it to coil on the ground, appearing somewhat sluggish.
In addition, he also found a small mound behind the giant snake, and next to it, a half-foot-tall spirit grass grew. The spirit grass had seven fan-shaped green leaves, with a red spirit fruit the size of a ping pong ball at the top.
The peculiar fruity fragrance he had smelled earlier was emitted by the red spirit fruit.
At this moment, the giant snake coiled in front of the spirit fruit, as if guarding it.
"This red spirit fruit should be a treasure. Otherwise, the giant snake wouldn't guard it like this. It seems like I'm going to strike it rich this time!"
Seeing the spirit fruit, Qin Feng's eyes lit up with excitement.
He was tempted.
Immediately, he gripped his dual blades and stealthily approached the giant snake.
Soon, he got close, just five meters away from the snake. However, at that moment, the snake suddenly turned its head, and its vertical snake eyes looked in his direction.
It had detected Qin Feng!
Without hiding any longer, Qin Feng charged directly at the giant snake.
Swish!
A sound of air breaking, leaving a trail of afterimages.
With the boost from his speed talent, he was faster than the Grassland Gray Wolf known for its speed.
Hiss!
The giant snake was shocked, tilting its head forward to strike.
Qin Feng dodged effortlessly, avoiding the snake's bite.
The original speed of the giant snake couldn't match Qin Feng's. Now, with its swollen belly, it seemed even more sluggish.
Qin Feng quickly approached, and with a swift motion, his blades flashed with a cold light.
Crack, crack, crack!
A sound of scales cracking, mixed with the noise of flesh being cut.
The extremely tough snake scales were shattered into more than a dozen pieces by Qin Feng's blades.
Hiss!
The giant snake writhed in pain, its head turning as it opened its mouth to bite.
A strong smell and foul stench filled the air.
Qin Feng swiftly evaded, pulling away from the giant snake.
Hiss!
The giant snake, furious, continued to chase after him.
But after chasing a few meters, a bloodline appeared at the seven-inch mark, followed by a burst of sound.
Splurt! Hiss! Hiss!
Then, the wound split open, and snake blood sprayed wildly.
The giant snake felt intense pain at the seven-inch mark, its body weakened, and its pupils dilated.
Bang!
A muffled sound!
It collapsed to the ground, its snake body twitching for a while before becoming still.
In an instant, Qin Feng had killed the giant snake.
He sighed in relief, extremely satisfied with his performance.
Such outstanding performance was not only due to his powerful physical qualities but also his exceptionally advanced combat talent.
This was the first time he realized that his combat talent was not weak; it just hadn't been apparent when his body was weak and frail.
Buzz!
At this moment, a white light rose from the giant snake and entered his body.
[Successfully killed Level 1 Poisonous Nine-Ringed Snake, gaining +40 energy points!]
Qin Feng felt a warm sensation throughout his body, extremely comfortable, and a progress bar appeared in his mind.
[Level]: 1 (70/100)
Killing a Poisonous Nine-Ringed Snake earned him 40 energy points, indeed stronger than the Gnawing Giant Rat.
Now, as long as he killed one more Level 1 ferocious beast, he could easily advance to Level 2.
It seemed that leveling up wasn't difficult at all!
Thinking about this, Qin Feng smiled with satisfaction. Little did he know that if he were to express this idea, billions of people worldwide would curse him.
In the current state of the Newbie Plains, humans were naturally weak, and there were hardly any capable of soloing Level 1 ferocious beasts.
Afterward, Qin Feng strode to the snake's corpse and placed a hand on it...
A burst of white light flashed!
[Endless Extraction Success! Obtained 2 points of energy attributes!]
Refreshing! Energy increased again!
Oh, why was the snake's belly so big?
Qin Feng's gaze fell on the giant snake's belly again.
To be honest, he could easily kill the giant snake because its belly was too big, making its movements sluggish. If it were a normal Poisonous Nine-Ringed Snake, he would have had to put in more effort.
Thinking of this, he raised the steel knife, enduring the snake's stench, and made a slash down the seven-inch wound.
Crunch!
A flash of cold light!
White snake meat turned over!
The snake was disemboweled!
A human corpse covered in mucus rolled out from the snake's belly.
Damn!
This snake actually ate a person!
Qin Feng was surprised!
However, he quickly calmed down.
In this world of slaughter, people could die at any time.
It was the eternal melody.
He had gradually become indifferent!
At this point, he crouched down, placed one hand on the corpse, and attempted an Endless Extraction...
Buzz!
After a moment, a white light flashed!
[Endless Extraction Success! Obtained F-grade talent for the second time — Visual Enhancement!]
Qin Feng was delighted. He actually managed to extract...
[Two talents automatically stack and strengthen! Your visual talent has upgraded to E-grade talent — Visual Hyperenhancement!]
[Visual Hyperenhancement: 20x visual enhancement, with night vision capability.]
[Talent evolution successful, automatically awakening talent skill — True Vision.]
[True Vision: Active skill, able to penetrate the essence of things.]
"Haha!! This is amazing!"
Qin Feng was ecstatic. He didn't expect such a significant change from accidentally extracting an F-grade talent.
It turned out that he already had F-grade Visual Enhancement.
The talent from the corpse was also F-grade Visual Enhancement.
After a successful second extraction, his visual talent was stacked and strengthened, evolving into an E-grade Visual Hyperenhancement.
Endless Extraction was truly remarkable!
In fact, everyone's talents could evolve, but the conditions were extremely stringent, the difficulty was immense, and there were level restrictions.
Qin Feng's talent evolution was obviously different from others.
As long as he extracted the same talent multiple times, there was a certain probability of evolution.
This made his talent evolution much easier than others.
Furthermore, after the successful evolution of talent abilities, there was a certain probability of awakening talent skills.
The probability was very low.
However, just a moment ago, after Qin Feng's visual talent evolved, he successfully awakened the talent skill — True Vision.
This was the first skill he had mastered.
Now, he suppressed his excitement and looked at the red spirit fruit in front of him...
True Vision instantly activated, displaying a light screen in his eyes.
[Name]: Red Python Fruit
[Tier]: First-tier spirit fruit
[Effects]: Non-toxic, consumption enhances physique, and increases poison resistance.
True Vision is really good!
He instantly discerned the details of the spirit fruit.
Qin Feng's face was filled with joy.
With this skill, he could discern many unknown things.
What an advantage in snatching resources!
Speaking of which, this Red Python Fruit was also a treasure; it could enhance physique.
His weakest point now was his physique, making this fruit just what he needed.
Thinking of this, he happily walked towards the spirit fruit.
