Qin Feng opened the treasure chest without hesitation.
Buzz!
A white light flashed, and the chest disappeared, leaving a small, intricately crafted black ring in his hand.
[Treasure Chest Opened Successfully! Acquired Tier-1 Item: Low-grade Storage Ring!]
[Low-grade Storage Ring: Contains 10 cubic meters of dimensional space for storing items.]
Amazing!
A storage ring—it was exactly what he needed!
Though classified as a Tier-1 item, its value and utility rivaled that of Tier-2 equipment.
Satisfied, Qin Feng slipped the ring onto his finger. With a thought, he could sense the storage space within.
He immediately removed the bundle from his back, which contained four finely crafted steel blades and four Rookie Short Swords.
All eight weapons were carefully placed into the ring.
These weapons were valuable resources; once the Tiandao Trading System was activated, they could be traded for other items.
Carrying all those blades had been a hindrance during combat, but the storage ring resolved the issue effortlessly.
After storing his items, Qin Feng turned to the snake's corpse and began extraction.
[Endless Extraction Successful! Acquired +3 Energy Points!]
Great! Another 3 points added!
Mutant beasts always yielded more attribute points than ordinary beasts.
Feeling his strength had likely improved significantly after leveling up, Qin Feng opened his Attribute Panel to confirm:
[Name]: Qin Feng
[Level]: Level 3 (30/600)
[Reputation]: 1
[Strength]: 40 (Strength Berserk, D-rank)
[Agility]: 46 (Enhanced Speed, E-rank)
[Constitution]: 48 (Enhanced Constitution, E-rank, Poison Resistance +100%)
[Energy]: 57 (Vision Supremacy, E-rank; Enhanced Smell, F-rank)
[Innate Talent]: Endless Extraction (SSS-rank)
[Skill]: True Sight
[Combat Power]: 4 Stars
[Free Attribute Points]: 10
"Not bad! My combat power is now at 4 stars!" Qin Feng exclaimed in delight.
Given his enhanced stats and abilities, his overall strength likely reached 6 stars, making him a formidable force.
With 10 free attribute points still unallocated, he decided to save them for later.
Curious about his current ranking, Qin Feng switched to the Leaderboard Channel:
[91 Rookie Village Level Leaderboard]
1st: Liu Xuan, Level 3
2nd: Long Shan, Level 3
3rd: Wu Yong, Level 3
4th: Qin Feng, Level 3
5th: Gu Ming, Level 2
...
He had risen to fourth place!
However, Long Shan and Wu Yong had also reached Level 3 and remained ahead of him.
Meanwhile, over 20 people had now reached Level 2.
Clearly, everyone had been working hard to level up during the past hour.
In truth, Qin Feng had spent much of that time traveling, which explained why he wasn't ranked higher.
After closing the Tiandao Interface, Qin Feng glanced at the snake's corpse.
A thought occurred to him, and he carefully cut open the snake's head, extracting its venom gland.
Using the tip of his blade, he coated it with the venom.
The blade, once shining silver, turned a menacing blue, radiating a deadly glow.
He wrapped the remaining venom gland in a piece of cloth and stored it in the ring for future use.
With preparations complete, Qin Feng gripped his blade and approached the cave entrance.
Three mutant beasts awaited him inside.
Defeating them would likely propel his ranking past Long Shan and Wu Yong, perhaps even catching up to Liu Xuan.
As he stepped into the dark cave, a sense of unease filled him.
It wasn't the three beasts that concerned him; his current strength was more than enough to handle them.
What worried him was the possibility of something more sinister lurking behind them.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng cautiously entered.
The cave was damp and reeked of decay and blood.
Holding his breath, he moved forward carefully.
Thanks to his Vision Supremacy, Qin Feng had excellent night vision and quickly adapted to the darkness.
The cave extended deep into the earth, growing colder and darker with each step.
After walking over 500 meters, he reached the end of the tunnel.
To his surprise, there were no beasts in sight.
Instead, he found a large circular screen of dim light, about the size of a person, glowing faintly.
It resembled a portal.
"What's this?" Qin Feng muttered, intrigued.
He approached cautiously and extended his hand.
To his relief, his hand passed through the portal effortlessly, unharmed.
Emboldened, Qin Feng stepped through the portal.
In an instant, his surroundings transformed.
He found himself in a small valley surrounded by towering cliffs.
The air was fresh, filled with the fragrance of exotic herbs, and vibrant flowers covered the ground.
Activating True Sight, Qin Feng scanned the area:
Elderflower (Tier-1 Spirit Grass)
Heart-nurturing Herb (Tier-1 Spirit Grass)
Meridian-clearing Herb (Tier-1 Spirit Grass)
Fo-ti Root (Tier-1 Spirit Grass)
Rejuvenation Fragrance (Tier-1 Spirit Grass)
"My god!"
The valley was filled with Tier-1 Spirit Grass—over 40 plants in total!
Qin Feng's excitement was palpable.
[Notification: You have entered a dimensional space. The Leaderboard Channel is now inaccessible. Personal Info and Chat Channels remain functional.]
The unexpected notification gave Qin Feng pause.
At that moment, his gaze shifted to the valley floor.
His expression darkened.
The Saber-toothed Rabbit, Mutant Black Rat, and Raging Wild Boar were all there, crouched and staring at him coldly.
Beside them lay two human corpses.
One belonged to a black-haired, yellow-skinned man—Liu Yunchang.
As a fellow D-rank talent holder, Qin Feng recognized him immediately.
The other body belonged to a tall, blond-haired, fair-skinned man in a suit and tie—a foreigner.
Qin Feng was stunned.
The 91 Rookie Village consisted entirely of people from D Nation. There shouldn't have been a single foreigner here.
What was this man's corpse doing in the valley?
Activating True Sight, Qin Feng examined the body:
[Race]: Human (Deceased)
[Origin]: 496 Rookie Village
[Level]: 2
[Talent]: ???
"So he's from another Rookie Village," Qin Feng realized.
The dimensional space must connect multiple villages.
After all, the Tiandao System had initiated the slaughter game for billions of people, creating millions of Rookie Villages.
Connecting to other villages wasn't surprising.
Finding an additional corpse was a bonus—it meant another talent to extract.
Though the foreigner's talent was unclear, reaching Level 2 in such a short time suggested it was exceptional.
As Qin Feng celebrated his luck, the three beasts stirred.
They parted, revealing something hidden behind them.
Qin Feng's eyes widened.
It was a mummified corpse, seated cross-legged with its head bowed.
The body had dry, yellowed hair and wore strange clothing.
Most horrifying was the gaping, bowl-sized hole in its chest, exposing withered internal organs.
Clearly, it had died from a fatal blow to the chest.
Despite the decay and stench emanating from the corpse, the three beasts seemed to be guarding it, as if protecting something...
