Following the scent of blood, Qin Feng moved quickly toward its source.
Soon, he found the first source—a woman's corpse.
Seeing the body, his eyes lit up.
This meant he could extract a new talent, and it also indicated that the Raging Wild Boar was nearby.
He quickly approached the corpse and began the extraction.
A flash of white light appeared!
[Endless Extraction Successful! Acquired +2 Agility Points!]
Huh?
Only 2 points of agility? No talent this time?
Qin Feng paused, slightly confused.
After thinking for a moment, he understood.
It must be that the woman's talent was one he already possessed, making it non-extractable. Instead, he received attributes.
This was indeed the case.
The woman's talent was F-rank Enhanced Vision, which was inferior to Qin Feng's E-rank Vision Supremacy, and thus held no value for extraction.
In such cases, his Endless Extraction would randomly draw some of her attributes instead.
Understanding this, Qin Feng took her Rookie Short Sword and continued on.
The scent of blood led him to a second corpse—a middle-aged man.
Without hesitation, he approached to extract...
[Endless Extraction Successful! Acquired F-rank Talent: Enhanced Smell (Duplicate)!]
[Two identical talents detected. Attempting automatic fusion and evolution...]
[Evolution failed. Your Enhanced Smell remains at F-rank.]
What?
It failed this time!
Sigh...
Qin Feng felt a bit disappointed.
After all, talent evolution was probabilistic, so failure wasn't unusual.
He pocketed the man's Rookie Short Sword and moved on.
Soon, about ten meters away, he found a third corpse.
This one belonged to a muscular man who appeared to have been a fitness enthusiast in life.
Once again, he initiated the extraction...
[Endless Extraction Successful! Acquired E-rank Talent: Enhanced Constitution!]
Oh!
Success!
And it was precisely the talent he lacked!
Qin Feng was ecstatic.
Now, his attributes were well-rounded:
Strength: D-rank Talent: Strength Berserk
Agility: E-rank Talent: Enhanced Speed
Constitution: E-rank Talent: Enhanced Constitution
Energy: E-rank Talent: Vision Supremacy, F-rank Talent: Enhanced Smell
With talents across all four core attributes, Qin Feng had no weaknesses.
This was a dream come true!
He couldn't help but rejoice.
Extracting from human corpses really did yield the best rewards!
Time to keep going!
The Raging Wild Boar had killed four people, but he had only found three corpses.
The last one should belong to Liu Yunchang.
Qin Feng vaguely remembered Liu Yunchang—a Level 2 powerhouse who had awakened a D-rank talent.
The thought of acquiring a D-rank talent excited him.
D-rank talents were quite rare.
Of the 91 Rookie Village's players, only 17 had awakened D-rank talents.
With Wang Qiang already dead and now Liu Yunchang gone, only 15 D-rank talent users remained.
If he could find Liu Yunchang's corpse, he could acquire that D-rank talent.
At that point, he would possess two D-rank talents himself!
This prospect filled him with anticipation, and he eagerly resumed his search.
Fifteen minutes later, after scouring the area, he still hadn't found Liu Yunchang's body or the Raging Wild Boar.
Strange...
Why was Liu Yunchang's corpse missing?
The four of them were killed together, so logically, his body should be near the others.
"Hmm? What's that?"
At that moment, Qin Feng spotted a Rookie Short Sword lying in a messy patch of grass.
Nearby, there were beast tracks and drag marks.
Following the trail, he noticed trampled grass and a faint bloodstain leading into the distance.
It was clear that the Raging Wild Boar had dragged Liu Yunchang's body away.
Why would it do that?
Was it planning to eat the corpse?
The thought made Qin Feng anxious.
If the boar consumed the body, he'd lose the chance to acquire a D-rank talent!
Grabbing the Rookie Short Sword, he immediately set off along the trail.
After another fifteen minutes of tracking, Qin Feng reached the end of the trail.
It led to a small, slightly elevated mound on the plains.
From a distance, the mound looked unremarkable.
But as he approached, he discovered an entrance to a hidden cave at its base.
The blood trail stopped at the cave's entrance.
It seemed the Raging Wild Boar had dragged Liu Yunchang's body inside.
"So this is the place," Qin Feng murmured to himself.
He moved closer and peered into the cave.
The interior was pitch-black, with no indication of its depth.
A faint breeze carried a mixture of metallic blood, foul musk, and damp mildew from within.
For reasons he couldn't explain, Qin Feng felt a chill run down his spine.
The cave gave off an overwhelming sense of danger.
He shook off the feeling.
"This must be the Raging Wild Boar's lair," he thought.
And the boar was just a Level 1 mutant beast. With his current strength, it wouldn't pose a challenge.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng prepared to enter the cave.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
Suddenly, strange breathing sounds echoed from within the cave.
Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!
The ground began to tremble as something charged toward the entrance.
Alarmed, Qin Feng leapt back.
Whoosh!
A flash of red light streaked from the darkness.
A massive creature lunged out of the cave—a seven-meter-long serpent.
Qin Feng's eyes widened.
It looked like a Venomous Nine-ringed Snake, but it was larger, with ten rings instead of nine.
What?
Wasn't this supposed to be the Raging Wild Boar's lair?
Why was a giant snake here?
Activating his True Sight, Qin Feng quickly assessed the situation:
[Beast]: Venomous Ten-ringed Snake (Mutant)
[Level]: 1
[Combat Power]: 5 Stars
[Traits]: Savage, Bloodthirsty, Poisonous
[Skill]: Venom Mist
[Drop Rate]: 1%
[Status]: Mind-controlled (Combat Power Enhanced)
What?!
A mutant beast!
And it had 5-star combat power!
Qin Feng's shock was mixed with excitement.
Mutant beasts were rare opportunities, offering extraordinary rewards.
Their drop rates were ten times higher than regular beasts.
But why did this snake have 5-star combat power?
The Silver-backed Gray Wolf's combat power had capped at 4 stars.
Even more surprising, this snake had a skill: Venom Mist.
The Silver-backed Gray Wolf had no such abilities.
Clearly, this snake was far stronger.
Realizing the danger, Qin Feng drew his Blood Wolf Blade and prepared for a fight.
"Wait... what's this?"
Through True Sight, Qin Feng noticed something unusual about the snake's status:
[Status]: Mind-controlled (Combat Power Enhanced)
So that's why its power was so high! It was under some kind of mind control.
But who or what was controlling it?
Qin Feng observed the snake's blood-red eyes and vacant expression. It seemed dazed and lacked true intelligence.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Before he could ponder further, three more beasts burst from the cave.
A giant rabbit, a massive rat, and the Raging Wild Boar—all with blood-red eyes and the same vacant expression—joined the fray.
Using True Sight, Qin Feng quickly scanned them:
Mutant Saber-toothed Rabbit (Level 1)
Mutant Black Rat (Level 1)
Mutant Raging Wild Boar (Level 1)
All were mind-controlled, and each had 5-star combat power.
In an instant, the four mutant beasts surrounded Qin Feng, their violent aura suffocating him...
