Qin Feng eagerly opened the treasure chest.
Hum!
A burst of white light radiated from within.
The chest vanished, leaving him holding a sleek black ring in his hand, its design both exquisite and simple.
[Treasure box successfully opened! Obtained a first-order item - low-level storage ring!]
[Low-level storage ring: Contains a dimensional space of ten cubic meters, ideal for item storage.]
Fantastic!
It even dropped a storage ring - just what he needed.
Although a first-order item, this low-level storage ring's value and utility are akin to second-order equipment.
Qin Feng was thoroughly pleased with his find.
He quickly slipped the storage ring onto his finger, immediately feeling its presence and the space it contained.
Next, he reached for the pack slung over his back.
Inside lay four fine steel knives and four novice short knives.
Without hesitation, he stowed all eight blades into the storage ring.
These knives are valuable resources, potentially useful in trading once the Tiandao trading system opens.
Carrying so many blades on his back had been hindering his combat performance, but with the storage ring, that problem was resolved.
With his belongings safely stowed away, Qin Feng turned his attention back to the fallen giant snake...
[Successful extraction! Gained 3 energy attributes!]
Excellent! Three more attributes added to his arsenal.
Mutant beasts provide higher attribute points compared to ordinary beasts.
Having leveled up to level 3, his strength should have seen a significant boost!
Pondering this, he promptly accessed his attribute panel.
[Name]: Qin Feng
[Level]: Level 3 (30/600)
[Reputation]: 1
[Strength]: 40 (power crazy, D level)
[Agility]: 46 (speed enhancement, E level)
[Physical]: 48 (strengthen constitution, E level, anti-poison +100%)
[Energy]: 57 (supervision of vision, E grade; enhanced sense of smell, F grade)
[Born talent]: Endless extraction (SSS level),
[Skill]: Eye of True Sight
[Combat Strength Evaluation]: 4 stars
[Free attribute]: 10
"Not bad! Not bad! The combat evaluation has reached 4 stars!" exclaimed Qin Feng, feeling overjoyed.
His combat power assessment is 4 stars, indicating that his overall strength should be able to reach 6 stars.
In addition, he still has 10 free attribute points, but he is not in a hurry to allocate them.
By the way, since he has been upgraded, his ranking on the level leaderboard should also have improved, right?
With this thought in mind, Qin Feng accessed the leaderboard channel.
[No. 911 Novice Village Level Ranking]
First place: Liu Xuan, level 3.
Second place: Longshan, level 3.
Third place: Wu Yong, level 3.
Fourth place: Qin Feng, level 3
Fifth place: Gu Ming, level 2
Sixth place: Yu Wen, Level 2
Seventh place: Lei Jue, level 2
…
Indeed, he had risen to fourth place.
However, Longshan and Wu Yong also ascended to level 3, now lining up ahead of him.
Additionally, more than twenty people have risen to level 2 already.
It seems that everyone is diligently working to level up during this hour.
In fact, during this hour, Qin Feng spent most of his time on the road.
Now, as he exited the Tiandao light screen, he looked down at the snake corpse at his feet.
Moved by a thought, he stepped forward to decapitate the snake and carefully extracted its venom gland.
Subsequently, he inserted the tip of a knife into the gland, staining it with some highly poisonous substance.
The once silvery and cold blade tip now turned blue and bark-like, emitting a soul-stirring poisonous light.
Next, he wrapped the remaining poison glands with the rags he had prepared earlier and stashed them into the storage ring as reserves.
With these tasks completed, Qin Feng took a deep breath, slung his sword, and strode towards the cave.
There, three mutant beasts awaited his demise!
In his estimation, by slaying those three beasts, he should be able to surpass Long Shan and Wu Yong in one fell swoop, perhaps even catching up to Liu Xuan.
After a while, Qin Feng reached the entrance of the cave.
Staring into its darkness, his expression grew solemn.
He wasn't concerned about the three mutant beasts joining forces; his current strength made dispatching them easy.
Rather, he worried about the possibility of encountering a terrifying entity behind these three beasts...
Regardless, he had to venture inside and investigate.
With resolve, he took a deep breath, gripped the knife handle tightly, and cautiously stepped into the cave.
As he entered, he was greeted by the musty dampness and the overpowering stench.
Qin Feng held his breath and proceeded cautiously into the dark cave.
However, he possesses the talent of visual transcendence and has night vision ability.
Soon, he grew accustomed to the darkness and could see objects within 20 meters of his body.
The cave extended deep into the ground.
As he proceeded, the darkness deepened, and the air grew colder.
After walking about 500 meters, he finally reached the end of the cave.
To his surprise, he didn't encounter any beasts, but instead found a circular light curtain at the cave's bottom, as tall as a person, emitting a dim aura.
At first glance, the light curtain resembled a door of light.
What's this?
Qin Feng was taken aback.
He quickly approached, extended a hand, and cautiously touched the door of light.
In the next moment, his hand effortlessly passed through the door without any harm.
Feeling reassured, he dared to step through the door.
Upon passing through, his surroundings brightened, revealing a small valley encircled by cliffs.
Exotic flowers and plants filled his view, and the air was infused with a refreshing grass fragrance.
Qin Feng's curiosity piqued, and he activated his Eye of True Sight...
Elderberry (Tier 1 Spirit Grass), Nourishing Heart Grass (Tier 1 Spirit Grass), Tongjing Grass (Tier 1 Spirit Grass), Shouwu (Tier 1 Spirit Grass), Daigo Incense (Tier 1 Spirit Grass)…
Amazing!
All Tier 1 spirit grass!
Approximately 40 of them!
What a fortune!
Qin Feng was overjoyed.
[Reminder: You have entered a different space, and the ranking channel will be unavailable. Personal information channels and chat channels can still be accessed normally.]
The sudden reminder caught Qin Feng off guard.
At that moment, his gaze fell to the valley floor, and his expression shifted slightly.
At the valley's bottom, three mutant beasts—the saber-toothed rabbit, mutant black rat, and tusk wild boar—suddenly crouched there, coldly staring at him.
Beside them lay two human corpses.
One had black hair and yellow skin, vaguely resembling Liu Yunchang.
Qin Feng recognized Liu Yunchang, one of the powerhouses with a D-level talent.
The other corpse had blond hair, white skin, and a tall stature, dressed in a suit and tie. Clearly not from Longguo, but a Caucasian.
Qin Feng was perplexed.
Everyone in No. 911 Novice Village is from Longguo; there shouldn't be any Caucasians.
How did this white man's corpse end up here?
His curiosity aroused, Qin Feng activated his Eye of True Sight...
[Origin]: From No. 496 Novice Village
[Level]: Level 2
[Talent] ???
Incredible!
The white man hailed from another novice village.
Qin Feng was stunned.
It seemed that this space could connect to various novice villages.
Given Tiandao's massive investment and establishment of numerous novice villages, such connections weren't surprising.
However, another body meant another opportunity for extraction.
Though he couldn't discern the talent from the white man's corpse, achieving level 2 in such a short time is commendable.
With a chuckle, he pondered his next move.
Suddenly, the three beasts in front of him stirred, revealing something behind them.
Qin Feng's eyes widened as he beheld the object.
It was a mummified corpse, seated cross-legged with its head bowed, donning peculiar attire.
What caught his attention was a transparent bowl-sized hole in its chest, exposing dried internal organs.
Evidently, the mummy had been fatally pierced through the chest.
Even from a distance, Qin Feng could detect the pungent odor of decay emanating from it.
However, he dared not underestimate it, for the three mutated beasts stood guard before the mummified corpse, as if protecting it...
