At this moment, Qin Feng cleaned up the scene and prepared to leave. Suddenly, a huge black shadow appeared in the sky. He looked up and saw a black giant bird with wings spanning three meters and a head resembling an owl. Its golden vertical pupils reflected a chilling light.
It was a 6th-level ferocious beast - the Night Owl! Qin Feng's eyes lit up, revealing a joyful expression. Among the 6th-level ferocious beasts, he lacked the Night Owl to extract twice; the other three were already at full capacity.
Who would have thought that another one would appear at this moment? The Night Owl hovered in the air, looking at the scattered beast corpses on the ground with a hint of fear in its eyes. It was lured here by the scent of blood, but it hadn't expected to find a scene resembling a purgatory in this mountain stream.
The Night Owl's gaze then fell on Qin Feng, and its golden eyes showed caution. Although this human was only level 5, it felt an extreme danger, making it hesitant to approach. However, the abundance of beast corpses on the ground was tempting.
Suddenly, the Night Owl transformed into a black light and swooped toward the farthest beast corpse from Qin Feng. With a swift motion of its claws and a flap of its wings, the Night Owl grabbed the carcass and flew away into the distance, keeping a safe distance from Qin Feng.
Just as it was about to escape, a cold light cut through the sky like a white rainbow, piercing through the Night Owl's body. Blood spurted out, and the Night Owl let out a miserable cry before tumbling and falling to the ground.
Qin Feng, seeing it attempting to escape, cleverly shot a steel knife, bringing down the Night Owl. The beast crashed to the ground, convulsed a few times, and then lay motionless.
[Successfully killed a 6th-level Night Owl, gained +220 energy points.]
A white light flew into Qin Feng's body, spreading a warm and comfortable sensation throughout him. In just a short moment, his upgrade progress reached level 5 (2790/3000), needing only one more kill of a 6th-level ferocious beast to level up.
Overjoyed, Qin Feng quickly approached and extracted, gaining an additional 2 attribute points in vitality.
A great start! Qin Feng was in high spirits. Beasts were coming to him automatically, a stroke of luck. After tidying up the battlefield, he left.
Not long after, in a mountain valley, he encountered another 6th-level ferocious beast - the Claw Giant Ape. Qin Feng swiftly approached and killed it.
[Successfully killed a 6th-level Claw Giant Ape, gained +220 energy points.]
[Your level has been upgraded to 6!]
[Your strength index has increased by 10 points!]
[Your agility index has increased by 10 points!]
[Your vitality index has increased by 10 points!]
[Your energy index has increased by 10 points!]
[You gained 5 free attribute points!]
Finally, he reached level 6! Qin Feng was delighted. However, he didn't linger and moved on into the night, continuing his monster-hunting spree.
Time passed quickly. Half an hour later, he entered the 7th-level ferocious beast area. Along the way, he killed two 6th-level ferocious beasts, one of which was the Night Owl he had encountered earlier. With this, his quota for 6th-level ferocious beasts was complete.
An hour later, he entered the 8th-level ferocious beast area, slaying two 7th-level ferocious beasts on the way.
Another hour later, he entered the 9th-level ferocious beast area, killing an 8th-level ferocious beast.
After yet another hour, he arrived at the boundary between the 9th and 10th levels. Along the way, he killed a 9th-level ferocious beast.
"The 10th-level ferocious beast area is approaching!" Qin Feng gazed into the distance. The mountainous forest was silent, surrounded by darkness. A night breeze caressed his face, and his cloak fluttered gently.
Looking at the destination not far away, Qin Feng felt excited. Unconsciously, he had been on the road for nearly four hours. The night sky was approaching its darkest, and it would likely be dawn in another one or two hours.
[Reminder: Lei Jue used three 4th-level ferocious beast corpses to exchange for your 1st-tier refined steel knife.]
Oh! Another harvest.
Qin Feng was delighted. In these four hours of travel, Liu Xuan, Long Shan, and Yu Wen had successively exchanged for a refined steel knife, each obtaining nine 4th-level ferocious beast corpses. This time, Lei Jue also came to exchange, providing Qin Feng with three more 4th-level ferocious beast corpses. In total, he now had twelve 4th-level ferocious beast corpses.
Immediately, Qin Feng took out the twelve ferocious beast corpses and began extracting.
After a moment, he successfully extracted nine corpses, gaining 24 attribute points, leaving him feeling secretly pleased.
"4th-level ferocious beasts are almost enough; just need a Lightning Ferret, and then I'll have them all at full capacity."
Qin Feng muttered to himself. There were four types of 4th-level ferocious beasts, with the Lightning Ferret being extracted only twice. Once he got it, he would have a full quota of 4th-level ferocious beasts, and there would be no need to collect them in the future.
Thinking about this, he entered the chat channel.
At the moment, the chat channel was relatively quiet, lacking the previous lively atmosphere. Many level 1 players couldn't hold on any longer and had gone back to their novice cabins to sleep. Sleeping in the novice cabin, protected by divine laws, was absolutely safe. Additionally, the recovery speed of vitality and energy was doubled.
Only those level 2 and above players were still persistently engaged in the battle.
After this long battle, almost two hundred players had reached level 2 or above. There was still some activity in the chat channel.
Seeing this, Qin Feng sent out some messages.
Qin Feng: "Starting now, I'll only purchase Lightning Ferret corpses for 4th-level ferocious beasts. I'll stop purchasing the rest. Normal purchase of 5th-level ferocious beast corpses!"
Qin Feng: "Also, I'm actively seeking novice short knives and various 1st-tier spiritual herbs and fruits."
These messages caused a commotion in the chat channel.
"What? Qin Feng, I've worked so hard to collect 4th-level ferocious beast corpses. I finally got one, and now you don't need them anymore."
"Wuuu! Wuuu! Qin Feng, your progress is too fast. It always catches us off guard!"
"Ah! It's not easy to get Qin Feng's 1st-tier weapon."
"Yes! I have a 4th-level ferocious beast corpse in my hand, but unfortunately, it's not what Qin Feng wants."
At this moment, Liu Yuan's avatar blinked.
Liu Yuan: "Qin Feng, I have a Lightning Ferret corpse. By the way, do you buy corpses of 2nd-level mutated ferocious beasts?"
Qin Feng: "I do!"
Liu Yuan: "Then, can I exchange the Lightning Ferret corpse, plus a 2nd-level mutated ferocious beast corpse, and the novice short knife in my hand for a refined steel knife?"
Qin Feng: "Sure!"
Liu Yuan: "Great! Qin Feng, let's go to the trade channel."
Qin Feng was also delighted. Soon, the two entered the trade channel and completed the transaction. Afterward, Qin Feng took out two corpses, completed the extraction, and gained 5 attribute points.
Another good harvest! With this, the 4th-level ferocious beasts were all at full capacity, and he no longer needed to worry about collecting them.
At the same time, his latest data flashed in his mind.

Combat power reached the limit of 17 stars! Qin Feng was ecstatic. Unconsciously, his combat power had soared to such a formidable level. It was so exhilarating! With this strength, hunting a 10th-level ferocious beast was no problem. And the 10th-level ferocious beast area was right in front of him. Thinking of this, Qin Feng slung the long knife on his back and hurried towards the 10th-level area.
