Qin Feng had barely taken a few steps when an announcement from Tiandao interrupted his thoughts.
[Announcement: The novice Li Yue was killed by the level 1 vicious beast Rodent!]
Qin Feng was startled.
This marked the second novice to be killed, both seemingly in group situations.
It indicated that the circumstances outside were perilous.
With a quick decision, he abandoned his original route and opted for a path with the fewest footprints.
He pondered a question: When he extracted Wang Qiang, what he obtained was his innate ability.
When extracting from the Level 1 Bloodfang Rabbit, you gain 2 Strength attribute points.
Evidently, Level 1 beasts differ from humans.
Their level is too low, and they possess no talents or abilities of their own. However, their physical prowess is strong, hence the extracted attribute points.
Given this, Qin Feng reasoned that it might be more advantageous to find Li Yue's body instead, potentially acquiring a new talent, which would be more worthwhile.
Therefore, he opted for the path with the fewest people.
However, fewer people on the route meant a higher likelihood of accidents.
At present, he had no knowledge of where everyone was heading, and could only speculate using this logic.
With his two knives in hand, he rushed in that direction...
[Announcement: Novice Zhou Cheng was killed by a level 1 vicious beast, the rodent giant rat!]
Another casualty!
Also killed by a giant rodent!
Qin Feng was shocked.
The two deaths likely occurred in the same area.
The danger they faced was even more severe than he had imagined!
A group of people couldn't handle it, and now two had died.
Should he continue?
He hesitated for a moment but pressed on in that direction.
After all, fortune favors the bold; opportunities often require risks.
With caution, Qin Feng carefully navigated through the bushes and grass.
This world was fraught with danger, where one wrong move could lead to death.
Life was precious, and he had to treasure it.
Besides, the place he was heading to could be extremely perilous.
After a quarter of an hour, he arrived at a depression.
Even from a distance, the scent of blood reached him.
Cautiously, he approached the depression, using the cover of dense foliage.
Upon arrival, he found the depression in disarray, with footprints, claw marks, and broken foliage scattered around, evidence of a fierce struggle.
In the center lay two mutilated corpses—a stout man in a chef's uniform and a woman in a black skirt.
The stench of blood permeated the air, with blood splattered everywhere.
Seeing the two corpses, Qin Feng felt a surge of excitement.
His speculation had proven correct; he could extract two more talents.
However, he didn't rush over immediately.
Near the corpses stood a giant black rat, measuring a meter in length, with sharp teeth, menacing eyes, and a ferocious aura.
This must be the level 1 vicious beast, the rodent giant rat.
Qin Feng now had some understanding of this lethal world.
Level 1 beasts had a combat power assessment of 3 stars but lacked talents or skills.
Humans, on the other hand, had awakened their innate abilities.
It seemed like a balance bestowed by fate.
Presently, Qin Feng's combat power assessment stood at 1 star.
ChatGPT
It stands to reason that he was not the opponent of this giant rat.
Fortunately, the giant rodent in front of him had both hind legs broken and several blood cuts on its body, lying there on the brink of death.
Apparently, it had been besieged by a group of people and was seriously injured here.
This presented an opportunity for Qin Feng to capitalize on.
With the badly wounded giant rodent, he was confident he could finish it off.
With this in mind, Qin Feng leaned forward, cautiously approaching the giant rodent under the cover of the grass.
Five meters... four meters... three meters... two meters...
Just as Qin Feng was about one meter away from the giant rodent, the creature seemed to sense his presence, abruptly snapping out of its daze and raising its head.
Reacting swiftly, Qin Feng lunged forward, his left hand wielding the knife, thrusting it directly into the throat of the giant rodent.
Squeak~! Squeak~! Squeak~!
The giant rat screeched, attempting to dodge, but its broken hind legs rendered it immobile.
In a desperate move, it swiped at the steel knife with its claw.
Pa~!
The giant rat's strength was formidable, knocking the steel knife away.
However, in that moment, Qin Feng's right hand moved, a glint of steel flashing as another knife plunged into the rodent's throat.
This was his follow-up attack!
Puff~!
Blood sprayed out!
Empowered by the talent of Power Madness, Qin Feng's knife pierced through the thick fur of the beast, burying itself deep into its throat.
Squeak... Squeak...!
The giant rat emitted a piercing cry.
Huh~!
Qin Feng withdrew the knife, blood spurting out over ten feet.
Cluck... Cluck...!
The giant rat made gurgling noises, blood streaming from its throat and mouth before finally collapsing to the ground.
A Level 1 beast, usually requiring four or five people to besiege and kill, had been dispatched by him alone.
Om~!
At that moment, a white light emanated from the giant rat and flowed into Qin Feng's body.
[Successfully killed a Level 1 giant rodent, gaining +30 energy points!]
Qin Feng felt a warm, comforting sensation wash over him.
Simultaneously, a level indicator appeared in his mind.
[Level]: Level 1 (30/100)
By slaying the Level 1 beast, he had gained 30 energy points, advancing from Level 1 (0/100) to Level 1 (30/100).
This marked a promising start.
Qin Feng felt elated, stepping forward to place his hand on the giant rodent...
A flash of white light erupted!
Once again, a comforting sensation spread throughout his body.
[Endless extraction success! Gain 2 Dexterity Attributes!]
Excellent!
His agility index had now risen to 11 points, surpassing the typical value for an adult, and his strength had increased once more.
Now, there were two significant benefits.
With this in mind, Qin Feng approached the woman's body beside him.
