Chapter 37
Xiao Bai ignored Qin Feng and teleported once more.
This time it appeared at 60 meters above the ground.
It then teleported again!
After three teleportation jumps, Xiao Bai was extremely close to the space rift.
“Be careful!”
Qin Feng’s heart skipped a beat.
Xiao Bai then trampled on the skeletal claw. To the giant creature, Xiao Bai was just a puny creature, no more significant than an ant. With a swift move, Xiao Bai jumped mid-air, turned its tail to silver, and swiped on the creature’s hand with a ring on it!
2Seconds later, the space rift was forced to be sealed away, and Qin Feng could hear an agonizing wail that faded gradually.
Swoosh!
Without its power source, the giant skeletal hand shattered into pieces and fell from the sky. Thankfully, Xiao Bai managed to teleport away in the nick of time.
Finally, Qin Feng could let out a sigh of relief. All the pressure that he had on him earlier was now lifted. It was then that Qin Feng’s communicator vibrated.
“Mr. Qin, thank you for your report. We have detected that the space rift is now gone. However, there is still danger around you. We will now launch a space rune to stabilize the area. We deeply thank you for your contributions to humanity. 10,000 yuan has been credited to your account as a reward!”
After that, Qin Feng could see a silver ray penetrating the sky through a few cracks. There were tiny patches of holes even though Xiao Bai had closed off the space rift for the most part. The silver ray was like an eraser, wiping off the cracks. After a long while, the threat was finally neutralized.
Eek!
Eek!
Eek!
Xiao Bai then jumped on top of the hovercar with a broken hand in his mouth. It was the hand that had fallen from the sky when Xiao Bai forced the space rift to close.
6“This is…”
Miraculously, the hand was still in one piece even though it was cut off from the creature. Silver rays emitted from it as Qin Feng took a closer look.
Eek!
Eek!
Eek!
Xiao Bai continued to shout.
“Are you asking me to devour it?” asked Qin Feng in surprise.
Xiao Bai nodded its head enthusiastically.
After signing the contract, both Qin Feng and Xiao Bai had a better understanding of each others’ abilities. Otherwise, Xiao Bai would not have brought the hand to him.
“Alright!”
Without wasting any time, Qin Feng triggered his special ability and started to absorb the energy inside the hand. Even since he was reborn to this world, his special absorbing ability had gradually become more and more powerful. Now, he was able to absorb something without life force with ease. The effect that came with it, however, was potent. He could feel the energy significantly strengthening his bones.
Then, a cracking sound came out of his bones, and silver light blasted out of them. With his bones becoming stronger, Qin Feng’s speed and strength were also boosted at the same time. His entire body had received upgrades too.
G6-tier!
4“What a surprise of a reward!”
Soon, his excitement and happiness turned to frustration. There were around 20,000 dark runes in his ability core. However, he would need a mighty consciousness to fully utilize all of them. Right now, his consciousness was still at G-tier, which meant he could only utilize 1,000 dark runes.
He was frustrated by the fact that he could not fully utilize all 20,000 of them when he had them ready in his body.
“Nevermind. Right now, I’m an ability user and an Ancient Warrior. I will try my best not to use my special ability all the time!”
Qin Feng was stressed as he changed the way he thought. After that, he spent more time at the location to hunt more ultra beasts for himself. Though he had absorbed the entire Hell Stone, there were still dark runes scattered which had corrupted some ultra beasts nearby. These mutated creatures were far stronger than their ordinary counterparts.
To make matters worse, the virus would infect their prey once they were killed. To restore the balance, Qin Feng had decided that he would finish up his good deed, eliminating the plague-bearing monsters.
……
Within the thick foliage of the jungle, Qin Feng was going after a grey monkey. All its skin and fur had fallen off, and it looked like a decaying corpse. Seemingly, It bore resemblence to a long-tailed macaque. Usually, the species swung from branch to branch at high speed and could do whatever they wanted in the wilderness. After the primate was hit by the dark runes, its body started to rot. This, however, did not affect its speed at all.
“Die!!!”
Qin Feng knew that he was never going to catch up to the speeding monkey. He had to figure out another way to kill it. In an attempt to slow it down, he launched a black ray at it. A hint of red light was embedded within the black ray. It was formed by runes chosen by Qin Feng that were from his ability core. Soon, the black ray caught up with the monkey.
Screech!
Screech!
Screech!
The black ray burned its soul, causing it to tumble from the tree. Rolling on the ground in immense pain, Hellfire soon engulfed half of its body. By that time, Qin Feng had caught up to it as well. Without thinking twice, he took out a dagger and beheaded the monkey with one swipe.
“This is one tough opponent!”
Qin Feng let out a sigh.
All the parts on the long-tailed monkey were rendered useless after it was zombified. The only thing that he could salvage was its brain. An energy core grew on its head after its transformation, serving as the energy source of the undead creature.
Usually, it was rare to find an energy core in a beast soldier. One had to hunt down a beast general to secure the slightest chance of acquiring an energy core. However, this one was less valuable and could only be sold for 10,000. As of now, Qin Feng had 300 of it, enough to pay off the equipment that he had asked someone to craft earlier.
“I should go back now!”
Qin Feng had stayed in the wilderness for a total of nine days. He was supposed to go and get his equipment in a day.
Dit!
Dit!
Dit!
Qin Feng’s communicator vibrated. His eyes grew wide open in surprise when he saw the person calling.
It was Chen Ming!
A long time had passed since Qin Feng talked to Chen Ming ever since they graduated. Perhaps he felt guilty or embarrassed that he left Qin Feng alone when the space rift appeared before them. That was why he never contacted Qin Feng, until now.
“Qin Feng, we have a class reunion tomorrow. Remember to join us, alright?!”
“Class reunion?”
4That was new. In his past life, Qin Feng had never attended an event like this.
