Qin Feng did not rashly charge into the valley.
Ants were different from elephants; these guys had low intelligence but were fiercely unafraid of death.
Even enemies several times more powerful than them could perish under their numerous jaws.
If he recklessly charged in, he might end up as a skeleton chewed on by ants.
So, he had to be cautious and plan carefully.
As the saying goes: Know yourself, know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles!
With this in mind, he looked into the valley again.
Crunch! Crunch!
Not far away, an ant worker bit off a basketball-sized chunk of iron ore from the ore bed and carried it on its head toward the nest.
The Iron Devouring Ant lived by consuming iron ore!
Qin Feng thought for a moment and used his True Sight to scan the ant.
[Monster]: Iron Devouring Worker Ant
[Level]: Level 12
[Combat Power Assessment]: 16 stars
[Characteristics]: Iron Devouring, Fearless of Death, Absolute Guard
[Talent]: Strength Enhancement (E-level), Gold Element Sensing (F-level)
[Skills]: ???
[Drop Rate]: 1.2%
Damn!
16 stars of combat power!
This Iron Devouring Worker Ant had a higher combat power than a Rampaging Mammoth, which only had 15 stars of combat power.
Moreover, the Rampaging Mammoth only had one E-level Earth Element talent, while this Iron Devouring Worker Ant had dual talents.
Its overall strength was clearly superior to the Rampaging Mammoth!
Even among level 12 monsters, there were variations in strength.
However, the stronger the monster, the more energy it would provide.
So many worker ants!
They would surely provide him with a large amount of energy and help him reach level 10 sooner.
Thinking happily, Qin Feng's gaze shifted to another giant ant not far away.
This giant ant was robust, a whole circle larger than the worker ant. Its huge head was especially large, almost twice the size of the worker ant's head.
It was a soldier ant!
[Monster]: Iron Devouring Soldier Ant
[Level]: Level 13
[Combat Power Assessment]: 19 stars
[Characteristics]: Iron Devouring, Fearless of Death, Absolute Guard
[Talent]: Strength Enhancement (E-level), Gold Element Sensing (F-level)
[Skills]: ???
[Drop Rate]: 1.3%
Indeed!
Soldier ants were much stronger than worker ants!
Its combat power reached 19 stars!
"Huh! What's that?"
Just then, Qin Feng noticed a giant ant crawling out of the nest.
Its size was twice that of a soldier ant, and its body was no longer pure black but had a hint of fiery red, exuding an extremely powerful aura.
As soon as it appeared, it arrogantly raised its head, sweeping its gaze over everything as if overseeing it all.
Qin Feng carefully looked...
[Monster]: Iron Devouring General Ant (Mutant Level)
[Level]: Level 13
[Combat Power Assessment]: 23 stars
[Characteristics]: Rampage, Iron Devouring, Fearless of Death, Absolute Guard
[Talent]: Strength Mania (D-level), Gold Element Enhancement (E-level), Touch Sensation Enhancement (F-level)
[Skills]: ???
[Drop Rate]: 13%
Damn!
This is actually a mutant monster with three talents!
From this, it could be seen that the Iron Devouring General Ant could not be underestimated!
Of course, Qin Feng was not afraid!
He carefully observed that there were about two hundred worker ants, more than forty soldier ants, and only one Iron Devouring General Ant in the valley.
As for how many were inside the nest, that was unknown.
Having said that, it was time for him to take action.
With this in mind, he lightly tapped the nearby giant rock.
Bang! Bang!
Two soft sounds!
Instantly transmitted into the valley!
The ant colony was alarmed, and dozens of soldier ants looked towards the valley entrance.
The worker ants, however, remained undisturbed, continuing to diligently work.
Qin Feng was prepared and had already retreated behind the giant rock.
The soldier ants saw nothing unusual.
However, ants had poor eyesight.
If they couldn't see from a distance, they naturally had to approach and observe.
Immediately, three Iron Devouring Soldier Ants rushed toward the valley entrance.
Shh! Shh! Shh!
The sound of crawling!
The crawling speed of the three soldier ants was very fast, like hounds on Earth, somewhat incredible.
Qin Feng held his breath, concealed behind the giant rock, both hands tightly gripping the knife handle, fully alert.
Before long, the three soldier ants arrived at the side of the giant rock.
Just as the shadows flickered, the first soldier ant rushed behind the giant rock and immediately discovered Qin Feng.
But before it could react, a flash of the blade!
Swish!
Crack!
A crisp sound!
The soldier ant's ant body, as tough as steel, was instantly severed, leaving a strange fluid on the ground. However, the soldier ant remained as lively as ever, undeterred by its severed body. Dragging its half-cut torso, it opened its huge mandibles and fiercely attacked Qin Feng.
Damn! So fierce!
Ants, as creatures, were different; even with a severed body, they seemed unaffected, much more ferocious than ordinary animals!
Qin Feng swung his hand, and a slash landed on the ant's head.
Crack!
The ant's head was split in half!
Instantly killed!
Shh! Shh!
At this moment, two other soldier ants arrived one after another.
Swish! Swish!
Qin Feng quickly acted, slashing at the ant heads.
Crack! Crack!
All the ant heads were split open!
Each one was killed on the spot!
[Successfully killed Level 13 Iron Devouring Soldier Ant, gained +9 points, obtained +670 energy.]
[Successfully killed Level 13 Iron Devouring Soldier Ant, gained +9 points, obtained +670 energy.]
[Successfully killed Level 13 Iron Devouring Soldier Ant, gained +9 points, obtained +670 energy.]
Not bad! Not bad!
Nine points each!
He suddenly gained 27 points in total.
Qin Feng was delighted and quickly approached to retrieve the ant corpses.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
At this moment, the Iron Devouring General Ant in the valley sensed something wrong and quickly emitted a strange and unique cry.
After a moment, seven or eight soldier ants, leading more than fifty worker ants, rushed towards the valley entrance.
Shh! Shh! Shh!
For a while, the sound of crawling came from the valley.
Qin Feng had remarkable hearing and knew how many giant ants were coming without even looking.
He knew a major battle was about to begin.
He quickly began retrieving!
[Endless Extraction Successful! You have obtained the F-level talent - Gold Element Sensing!]
Haha!
Not bad! Not bad!
All five elemental talents! Another one completed!
Immediately, he extracted the second ant corpse.
[Endless Extraction Successful! Once again obtained the F-level talent - Gold Element Sensing!]
[The two talents automatically overlap and strengthen, evolving independently...]
[Talent evolution failed... Your Gold Element talent remains at the F-level.]
This time, it failed!
Qin Feng continued to extract...
[Endless Extraction Successful! Once again obtained the F-level talent - Gold Element Sensing!]
[The two talents automatically overlap and strengthen, evolving independently...]
[Talent evolution successful! Your Gold Element talent has been promoted to E-level - Gold Element Enhancement.]
Haha!
Success!
Evolution successful!
Qin Feng was overjoyed.
Shh! Shh! Shh!
At this moment, the investigating ant swarm also arrived.
First to arrive were seven or eight Iron Devouring Soldier Ants, followed by fifty or sixty giant ants.
Qin Feng quickly took action.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
For a while, the blade flashed continuously!
Every slash aimed at the ant heads!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Those giant ants were no match for Qin Feng; they were instantly killed upon appearing.
[Successfully killed Level 13 Iron Devouring Soldier Ant, gained +9 points, obtained +670 energy.]
[Successfully killed Level 13 Iron Devouring Soldier Ant, gained +9 points, obtained +670 energy.]
[Successfully killed Level 13 Iron Devouring Soldier Ant, gained +9 points, obtained +670 energy.]
...
Haha!
So cool!
This moment, Qin Feng's points and energy skyrocketed at a crazy rate of 3.6!
He was overjoyed!
At the same time, in the 911 chat channel, everyone joyfully discussed.
"Amazing! Just now, a level 4 powerhouse with an E-level talent reached level 5. In our village, there are now eighteen high-scoring experts."
"Haha! Fantastic! This is really great!"
"Oh damn! Something big is happening! Something big!"
"Hey upstairs, what's happening?"
"Quick, go check the points channel! Qin Feng's points are exploding! It's a surge!"
"What?!"
"I'll go take a look!"
"I'll go check too!"
Immediately, everyone switched to the leaderboard channel.
As soon as they entered, everyone was stunned!
Qin Feng's points had already reached 147 and were still soaring.
Every second, it would jump!
Either increasing by 8 points!
Or increasing by 9 points!
In a blink, it soared to 179 points...
While the second-ranked Liu Xuan had only 12 points.
Everyone looked in shock!
But a moment later, the whole village erupted in cheers.
