Qin Feng gripped his blade tightly, nerves taut.
All four beasts had 5-star combat power.
By his own assessment, Qin Feng's combat strength was also at 5 stars.
However, having just acquired the Enhanced Constitution talent, his overall power might have reached the upper limit of 5 stars.
Even so, taking on four mutant beasts at once was a gamble.
Not to mention, the Venomous Ten-ringed Snake possessed a Venom Mist skill and was likely the strongest among them.
Something felt odd.
"Non-kin cannot be trusted."
These four mutant beasts weren't even the same species—why were they cooperating?
Wait...
Their blood-red eyes, clouded and lifeless, showed signs of mind control. Could there be something deeper in the cave?
As Qin Feng considered this, the Venomous Ten-ringed Snake made the first move.
Hiss!
The snake suddenly opened its jaws, unleashing a massive cloud of venomous mist that quickly enveloped the entire area.
Startled, Qin Feng held his breath and retreated rapidly.
But the mist spread too fast, engulfing him in seconds.
Fortunately, Qin Feng had been prepared and avoided inhaling the poison.
However, his relief was short-lived.
He quickly realized something was wrong.
The red venom clung to his skin, causing a searing pain as his flesh turned black and showed signs of poisoning.
Even worse, the venom invaded his eyes, producing a sizzling sound.
"Argh!"
Qin Feng screamed in agony, instinctively covering his eyes.
It felt as if acid had been poured into them, the pain stabbing deep into his skull.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment, the Saber-toothed Rabbit, Mutant Black Rat, and Raging Wild Boar charged at him simultaneously.
Their combined attack created a deafening roar as they closed in with terrifying momentum.
In the face of this crisis, Qin Feng gritted his teeth through the pain and tried to focus.
To his horror, his vision had blurred to the point where he could no longer make out their movements.
"Damn it!"
Unable to see their attacks, Qin Feng relied solely on sound to determine their direction.
He swung his blade horizontally in desperation.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal striking teeth echoed as Qin Feng's blade blocked the Saber-toothed Rabbit and Mutant Black Rat's assault.
Their sharp fangs clashed with his weapon, and the force of the collision sent them flying backward.
But Qin Feng wasn't unscathed—he was also knocked back several steps, struggling to stabilize himself.
Before he could recover, a massive force crashed into his chest like a speeding tank.
Bang!
The Raging Wild Boar had charged him head-on.
Qin Feng was sent flying through the air, landing with a heavy thud.
Thud!
He hit the ground hard, coughing up a mouthful of blood. His chest throbbed with pain, as if his internal organs had been crushed.
Had it not been for his newly acquired Enhanced Constitution, that single blow would have shattered his ribs and killed him on the spot.
Even so, the impact left him severely injured, barely able to catch his breath.
Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!
A gust of wind signaled the Venomous Ten-ringed Snake's approach, closing in with lightning speed.
The snake lunged at him with its fangs bared, aiming for the kill. Its stench filled the air as it struck.
In that moment, Qin Feng's combat instincts and iron will kicked in.
Ignoring his pain, he rolled forward—directly toward the snake.
Bang!
The snake missed its target, sinking its fangs into the ground instead. Dirt and grass flew everywhere.
Qin Feng rolled under the snake's belly, feeling its cold, scaly skin against his body.
Whoosh!
In one swift motion, he thrust his blade upward with all his strength.
Slash!
A flash of steel.
A cold glint.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the snake's massive head was severed cleanly from its body, rolling to the ground.
Blood gushed from its neck like a fountain.
The remaining beasts—the Raging Wild Boar, Saber-toothed Rabbit, and Mutant Black Rat—froze in shock.
This human...
He had just killed the strongest among them—the Venomous Ten-ringed Snake.
Huff! Huff!
The Raging Wild Boar snorted a few times before turning tail and fleeing.
The Saber-toothed Rabbit and Mutant Black Rat followed suit, disappearing back into the cave.
Finally, Qin Feng had a moment to catch his breath.
His vision, though blurry, was gradually improving.
It turned out his +100% Poison Resistance from Enhanced Constitution was working in his favor.
If it had been any other Level 2 fighter, they would have been permanently blinded by the venom.
Instead, Qin Feng's sight was slowly recovering.
Meanwhile, the decapitated body of the Venomous Ten-ringed Snake twitched a few times before going still.
Its corpse began to glow with a faint white light.
Buzz!
In the next instant, a beam of radiant white light shot from the snake's body into Qin Feng.
[You have successfully slain a Level 1 Venomous Ten-ringed Snake (Mutant). Acquired +110 Energy Points.]
[Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 3!]
[Strength +10!]
[Agility +10!]
[Constitution +10!]
[Energy +10!]
[You have earned 5 Free Attribute Points!]
A blinding white light surrounded Qin Feng's body.
Within moments, the venom-induced discoloration on his skin, the injuries to his eyes, and the internal damage from the Raging Wild Boar's charge were all healing at a visible rate.
When the light faded, his vision had fully returned. His skin was smooth and healthy, and his chest no longer ached.
Not only that, his physique had noticeably improved, and he even seemed taller by a centimeter.
He had leveled up!
Once again, he had leveled up!
Leveling up not only strengthened his body but also removed negative status effects.
This time, the upgrade had come at the perfect moment.
Now, Qin Feng was in peak condition once more—no, stronger than before.
[You have slain the Venomous Ten-ringed Snake! Dropped: Black Iron Treasure Chest!]
It dropped!
With only a 1% drop rate, it had actually dropped!
Overjoyed, Qin Feng turned to see a glowing black chest materializing beside the snake's corpse.
Without hesitation, he rushed forward to claim it...
