Qin Feng took a deep breath, crouched low, and prepared to take action.
Although his combat power was far below that of the Mammoth King, his numerous talents gave him a fighting chance. Besides, his primary target was an ordinary mammoth.
Taking down the Mammoth King could wait for an opportunity—or be delayed altogether.
[System Notice: Liu Xuan has traded two Level-5 beast corpses for your Tier-1 Steel Blade.]
Just as Qin Feng was about to move, a notification from the Tiandao Interface appeared.
"Oh? Nice!"
It reminded him that Liu Yuan had also traded with him earlier during his journey.
Liu Yuan had exchanged three Tier-1 Spirit Grass plants for another Tier-1 Steel Blade. However, Qin Feng had been on the move and hadn't had a chance to process them yet.
Now, feeling a lack of strength, he realized it was the perfect time to boost his abilities.
With that thought, he quickly accessed the trading channel.
Moments later, three Spirit Grass plants and two Level-5 beast corpses materialized in a flash of white light before him.
Scanning them with his True Sight, Qin Feng was delighted to find that all three Spirit Grass plants were non-toxic.
He swiftly extracted their essence and consumed it.
One Spirit Grass boosted his Energy by 2 points.
Another increased his Strength by 3 points.
The last enhanced his meridians, raising his Constitution by 2 points.
Next, he processed the two Level-5 beast corpses, gaining 4 more attribute points in total.
"Not bad at all!"
He opened his status panel to check his updated stats:
[Level]: 7 (160/18,000)
[Class]: Tier-2 Arbiter (0/200)
[Reputation]: 16 (Rookie Elite)
[Strength]: 198+7 (Strength Frenzy, D-tier)
[Agility]: 203+15 (Speed Frenzy, D-tier)
[Constitution]: 205 (Constitution Reinforcement, E-tier, Poison Resistance +100%)
[Energy]: 214 (Mental Enhancement, D-tier; Enhanced Hearing, E-tier; Enhanced Vision, E-tier; Enhanced Smell, F-tier)

[Bloodline Talent]: Dragon Blood Enhancement (E-tier)
[Core Talent]: Endless Extraction (SSS-tier)
[Skills]: True Sight (Tier-1), Hellfire (Tier-2), Beast Taming (Tier-3)
[Combat Power]: 20 stars
[Free Attribute Points]: 10
"Great! Finally at 20 stars!" Qin Feng was ecstatic.
Then, he remembered something. He reached into his Storage Ring and retrieved a cloth pouch.
Opening it, he found a sticky substance inside—a venom gland he had extracted from a Venomous Nine-ringed Snake back in the Rookie Plains.
He carefully applied the venom to the tip and edge of his blade.
With his preparations complete, Qin Feng crouched down and used the tall grass for cover as he moved toward a mammoth.
This particular mammoth was not the closest but was the farthest from the herd—a perfect target.
200 meters... 100 meters... 50 meters...
Qin Feng approached with extreme caution.
Before long, he was within 5 meters of the lone mammoth.
He held his breath and crept forward, step by step.
5 meters... 4 meters... 3 meters...
The mammoth had its head down, lazily munching on fragrant grass with its trunk.
Suddenly, it heard a faint rustle and turned its head.
To its shock, it saw a human crouched just a few meters away.
But before it could react, Qin Feng struck!
Swish!
A flash of cold light streaked through the air, slicing cleanly across the mammoth's throat.
Splat!
Blood spurted out as the mammoth let out a strange gurgling noise.
It tried to roar, but its windpipe was severed, leaving it unable to make a sound.
Blood poured from its neck as its eyes began to dim.
Moments later, its legs gave out, and it collapsed to the ground.
[System Notice: Successfully killed Level-12 Raging Mammoth. Gained +610 Energy Points.]
A white light rose from the mammoth's corpse and flowed into Qin Feng, spreading a warm sensation throughout his body.
In his mind, his progress bar updated: [Level 7 (8460/18,000)]
"Not bad! One mammoth gives me 610 points!"
Qin Feng glanced around. The rest of the herd remained undisturbed, grazing peacefully.
He let out a quiet sigh of relief.
"A flawless ambush!"
He stepped forward to extract the corpse.
[Endless Extraction Successful! Acquired E-tier Talent: Constitution Reinforcement!]
[Talent automatically stacks and evolves...]
[Evolution failed. Talent remains at E-tier.]
"Tch! Evolution failed!"
Regaining his composure, Qin Feng crouched low and moved toward a second lone mammoth.
Before long, he reached its side.
Strike!
Another flash of his blade.
Splat!
Blood sprayed again as the mammoth silently fell.
Another perfect ambush.
[Endless Extraction Successful! Acquired E-tier Talent: Constitution Reinforcement!]
[Talent automatically stacks and evolves...]
[Evolution Successful! Talent upgraded to D-tier: Constitution Frenzy.]
"Haha! Finally, success!"
Qin Feng was overjoyed. With this, all his Four Core Attributes had reached D-tier, leaving no weaknesses. His strength had risen significantly again.
Feeling exhilarated, he continued his stealthy attacks.
In a short time, he took down three more mammoths, extracting a total of 2 Constitution Points.
At this point, the mammoths had been fully harvested for their attribute values.
Time flew by, and half an hour passed.
During this time, Qin Feng stealthily killed eight lone mammoths, progressing his level to [7 (12,730/18,000)].
Now, no more isolated mammoths remained. Most were clustered together or in small groups of three to five.
After scanning the area, Qin Feng's gaze locked onto two mammoths on the outskirts of the herd.
These two seemed inseparable, always staying close to one another. Killing one would undoubtedly alert the other—and possibly the entire herd.
But Qin Feng had no other choice.
Taking a deep breath, he crouched down again, using the grass for cover as he crept toward the pair...
