Exiting the chat channel, Qin Feng continued his relentless hunt for beasts.
Before him stretched an endless expanse of lush grasslands.
With his Visual, Olfactory, and Hearing Talents fully activated, he dashed deeper into the plains. His speed was enhanced by his Shadow Boots, making his movements as swift as a shadow.
He needed to find more beasts quickly.
The grasslands, with their verdant expanse, were an ideal habitat for beasts, far more suitable than the barren Burial Wasteland. This was why he had left the wasteland behind.
Sure enough, within fifteen minutes, he detected something unusual.
Standing cautiously, he fixed his gaze on a mound ahead.
His enhanced hearing picked up faint, muffled movements coming from beneath it.
There's definitely something lurking under there!
Gripping his blade tightly, he prepared for battle.
This was a perilous zone filled with level 10 beasts, and even creatures surpassing level 10 could appear.
One could never predict what kind of deadly monster might emerge next.
Boom~!
Suddenly, the ground ahead erupted with a deafening roar.
Dust and dirt shot into the air as an enormous stone figure burst forth.
The creature was a towering Rock Giant, over eight meters tall, with tufts of green grass sprouting from its craggy head. Its body, formed entirely of gray stone, exuded a formidable presence.
Its crimson eyes glared at Qin Feng with disdain.
The creature had long been aware of Qin Feng's presence and had been lying in wait, planning an ambush.
But Qin Feng's sharp instincts had thwarted its plan.
[Beast]: Grassland Stone Giant (Mutated)
[Level]: 11
[Power Evaluation]: 18 stars
[Traits]: Berserk, Bloodthirsty, Territorial Guardian
[Talent]: Earth Manipulation (D-tier)
[Skills]: ????
[Drop Rate]: 11%
What the—?!
An 11th-level Mutated Beast!
Its power rating was 18 stars, far surpassing the 15-star Hellhound he had fought before.
And it possessed a D-tier Talent!
Only a handful of humans in the Rookie Village had awakened D-tier talents.
This was also the first time Qin Feng had encountered a beast with such a high-tier talent.
The higher the talent, the stronger the creature.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng steadied himself.
In a world governed by slaughter, caution was a virtue that could never be overemphasized.
After all, life only came once.
Roar~!
With a low growl, the Rock Giant made the first move.
Swinging its massive arm, it hurled a boulder the size of a human head at Qin Feng. The stone shot forth like a cannonball, swift and deadly.
Qin Feng sidestepped in a flash.
Whoosh~!
The boulder grazed his shoulder and slammed into the ground behind him.
Boom~!
A dull explosion erupted as the boulder created a massive crater and shattered into countless fragments, sending debris flying everywhere.
The destructive power was terrifying. If hit, even a level 10 warrior would be gravely injured.
The Rock Giant seemed surprised.
This level 7 human is incredibly quick! Many level 10 humans wouldn't have been able to dodge that!
Unfazed, the Rock Giant hurled another boulder with its other arm.
Qin Feng dodged again.
Whoosh~!
The boulder flew past, narrowly missing him.
But before he could catch his breath, another boulder came hurtling his way.
The Rock Giant's arms moved like a machine, launching stone after stone with relentless precision.
Damn it!
The creature specialized in ranged attacks!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In mere moments, the giant had thrown over a dozen boulders.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Qin Feng darted back and forth, narrowly avoiding each one.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The grassland was in chaos, with craters and flying debris turning the once-tranquil field into a battlefield.
Good thing I have the Shadow Boots. Qin Feng thought.
The added movement speed was the only reason he could dodge these attacks.
But this wasn't sustainable. He needed to close the distance and strike back.
The longer he stayed on the defensive, the more likely he was to slip up and get hit.
Determined, Qin Feng shifted gears. His figure blurred as he charged toward the Rock Giant.
With his speed, the distance of ten meters was covered in an instant.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
He zigzagged unpredictably, evading the onslaught of projectiles.
Finally, he was face-to-face with the giant, just a meter away.
Boom~!
The Rock Giant stomped the ground with a deafening crash.
Qin Feng's hyper-sensitive hearing alerted him to a rapid movement beneath the surface.
Without hesitation, he leaped sideways.
Crash~!
A sharp stone spike erupted from the ground, missing him by mere inches.
Damn!
This thing has a spike attack too?!
The Rock Giant was equally startled. It hadn't expected Qin Feng to dodge so effortlessly.
Seizing the moment, Qin Feng attacked.
Swish~!
A flash of cold light streaked through the air.
Crack!
The sound of shattering rock echoed as Qin Feng's blade pierced the giant's chest.
Squelch~!
The blade sank deep, and Qin Feng exhaled in relief.
But the next moment, he realized something was wrong.
The Rock Giant didn't fall. Instead, it sneered, its crimson eyes mocking him.
With a thunderous roar, it raised its massive hand and swung it down toward Qin Feng's head.
"Damn it!" Qin Feng cursed.
He yanked his blade free and raised it defensively, but there was no time to evade.
Boom~!
The giant's palm collided with Qin Feng's blade, sending him flying through the air.
Mid-air, Qin Feng executed a backflip and landed steadily on his feet.
The Rock Giant was shocked.
This human is still alive?!
Its immense strength could crush a level 10 warrior with a single blow, yet Qin Feng had blocked it.
Qin Feng, meanwhile, was staring at the giant's chest in disbelief.
The wound on its chest was rapidly regenerating, the stone knitting itself back together as if nothing had happened.
Damn it!
This thing can heal itself—and its heart isn't even its weak point!
The realization hit him like a bolt.
The Rock Giant wasn't a living creature with a heart or vital organs. It was a construct of rock.
Targeting its "heart" had been a mistake.
How do I take this thing down?
As Qin Feng pondered, the Rock Giant grew wary.
This human was unlike any opponent it had faced before.
Suddenly, Qin Feng's eyes lit up as an idea struck him.
Without hesitation, he charged again.
Roar~!
The Rock Giant bellowed, hurling boulders with both hands.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Dodging skillfully, Qin Feng closed the gap once more.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Spikes erupted from the ground, but Qin Feng evaded them all with precision, relying on his enhanced hearing.
Finally, Qin Feng leaped onto the giant's arm, using it as a springboard to propel himself upward.
Swish~!
At the peak of his leap, Qin Feng swung his blade.
Crack~!
A sharp sound rang out as the blade severed the giant's head from its body.
Boom~!
The colossal figure crumbled into rubble, collapsing to the ground.
Finally! Qin Feng sighed in relief.
As his feet touched the ground, a brilliant white light emerged from the shattered remains and flowed into his body.
