As Qin Feng exited the Tian Dao screen, he turned his attention to the corpse of the hellhound at his feet. A fragment of a seal was floating above the carcass. He quickly approached and picked it up.
[Dark Seal Fragment: Formed by absorbing dark energy through mysterious runes. Collecting 5 fragments will yield a complete Dark Seal.]
So, that's how the Dark Seal is obtained! Qin Feng suddenly realized. He vividly remembered that each hellhound he killed had dropped a seal fragment. Calculating it, he had slain six hellhounds, which meant he had exactly enough fragments!
Qin Feng joyfully stored the seal fragments.
"Ooh, ooh!"
At that moment, the crowing of a rooster echoed from the village behind him. The sound was exceptionally clear, piercing through the night sky.
There are still chickens in the village? Qin Feng turned around instinctively and saw that with the crowing of the rooster, the dawn's first light arrived, shrouding the entire village. Following that, the mysterious village gradually became transparent, seeming to vanish…
Qin Feng was startled and couldn't help but approach to investigate. As he got closer, the entire village disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a desolate landscape with only the towering ancient tree standing alone in the wind.
The village had vanished!
Qin Feng was dumbfounded. Just then, a prompt from the Tian Dao echoed in his mind.
[Reminder: The Lost Village is connected to millions of novice villages. It appears in the darkness and disappears before dawn.]
So, that's how it is! Qin Feng suddenly understood. The "Lost Village" is connected to millions of novice villages and only appears in the dark.
In other words, as long as there are Dark Seal fragments, everyone among the billions of people worldwide has the opportunity to enter it.
Thinking about this, Qin Feng became anxious. He worried that others from novice villages might get there first and take away the treasures within the Lost Village.
Fortunately!
The Kill World had only been open for a day, and there probably weren't many people who, like him, directly broke through to the level 10 ferocious beast area and coincidentally discovered this "village."
In any case, he had to explore this village as soon as possible and get his hands on the treasures inside before anyone else.
He didn't want to let others take advantage.
Tonight, he would come back again!
With this in mind, Qin Feng looked down at the hellhound's corpse at his feet, which still lay quietly there. He couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the hellhound corpses were still there, and they didn't disappear along with the village.
Immediately, he rushed forward to extract...
[Endless Extraction Success! Obtained E-rank Talent — Dark Enhancement!]
He gained a new talent again!
Not bad! Not bad at all!
Qin Feng was overjoyed.
[Reminder: Your Divine Duty Judge advancement progress has reached Level 1 (100/100). To advance to Level 2, you need to comprehend D-rank Talent — Dark Manipulation.]
It turned out his Divine Duty had already reached Level 1 (100/100)!
However, its advancement unexpectedly had talent requirements.
This profession wasn't simple!
It seemed that obtaining the E-rank Dark Enhancement talent triggered this prompt.
Qin Feng was curious about what benefits he would gain after advancing.
Filled with expectations, he continued to harvest the spoils.
Soon, he found the second hellhound corpse, obtained another seal fragment, and then went forward to extract...
[Endless Extraction Success! Obtained E-rank Talent — Dark Enhancement!]
[The two talents automatically stack and strengthen. Self-evolution in progress…]
[Talent evolution failed… Your Dark Talent remains at E-rank.]
Huh!
This time, it unexpectedly failed!
Qin Feng felt a bit regretful.
He continued to search along the same path, quickly finding the third hellhound corpse, collecting the third seal fragment, and then extracting...
[Endless Extraction Success! Obtained E-rank Talent — Dark Enhancement!]
[The two talents automatically stack and strengthen. Self-evolution in progress…]
[Talent evolution successful! Your Dark Talent has advanced to D-rank — Dark Manipulation.]
[Detecting that you possess D-rank Talents — Flame Manipulation and Dark Manipulation, autonomously awakening talent skill — Hellfire!]
He awakened a new skill!
And it's a second-tier skill!
Too cool!
Qin Feng was pleasantly surprised!
[Your Dark Talent has been upgraded to D-rank, meeting the conditions for Divine Duty promotion.]
[You have successfully advanced to Level 2 Judge!]
[Your Strength stat has increased by 20 points!]
[Your Agility stat has increased by 20 points!]
[Your Constitution stat has increased by 20 points!]
[Your Energy stat has increased by 20 points!]
Buzz~!
At this moment, a dazzling white light shone from Qin Feng's body! A warm sensation spread throughout his entire body, incredibly soothing...
After a moment, the radiance disappeared.
He joyfully opened his eyes.
Leveled up!
Divine Duty had finally leveled up!
Ascending one level in Divine Duty actually increased 80 attribute points, surpassing a regular level-up by a large margin! Just thinking about it made him ecstatic!
Qin Feng believed that among the billions of people worldwide, not many possessed Divine Duty. After all, it was a profession that appeared only once in a billion people, and the Kill World had only been open for a day, so it wouldn't have reached the cap so soon.
Returning to the topic, the timing of this Divine Duty upgrade was just perfect. With this, his chances of winning in the upcoming resource gambling event were even greater.
That Amir was a devout cultivator from the Third Country, already at level 7, progressing even faster than him. Qin Feng didn't dare to underestimate him.
Therefore, he had to go all out.
He continued searching for hellhound corpses. Soon, he found the fourth one.
This time, the Endless Extraction failed.
For the same species of ferocious beast, he could only perform Endless Extraction three times. Mutant-level ferocious beasts were no exception.
Qin Feng continued his search. In the blink of an eye, he found all six hellhound corpses, obtaining a total of six seal fragments.
Afterward, he combined five of the fragments to create a complete "Dark Seal."
By now, the dawn's first light had illuminated the entire wasteland. In the morning breeze, Qin Feng looked at the seal in his hand with immense joy.
It was a pentagonal black seal, with strange runes engraved on the front and a demon's face on the back.
"I finally got the Dark Seal. Tonight, I can enter the Lost Village. I wonder what treasures are inside? Hehe!"
Qin Feng grew more and more excited at the thought. He lovingly observed the seal for a while before stowing it into his storage ring.
Then, he took out the bronze treasure chest, ready to open it...
[Urgent Announcement: Newbie Village 446 has activated the Wager Command, forcibly connecting with Newbie Village 911, initiating a resource gamble!]
[Resource Gamble: The losing side will have all resources halved, and everyone will suffer a 20-point attribute reduction. The winning side will have all resources doubled, and everyone will gain a 20-point attribute increase.]
[This time's competition: The first Newbie Village to produce an 8th-level powerhouse will win the gamble.]
[Reminder: The first to reach level 8 and win this gamble will receive an additional reward of 50 attribute points and a Silver Treasure Chest.]
[Reminder: The chat channels of the two major newbie villages are now connected...]
[Reminder: During the gamble, the leaderboard channels of the two major newbie villages will be temporarily blocked...]
The Third Country finally made its move!
The resource gamble had begun...
