The power coursing through Qin Feng’s veins had reached a G3 tier. However, Asteroid a.s.similation allowed him to come up with an attack that was ten times more powerful than whatever his current strength was. Those threadsnakes? Those were not worthy of being his opponents.

As Xiao Jing awakened, the power in her body started to s...o...b..ll. When it came to speed, reflex, and combat experience, Xiao Jing was still relatively weaker than Qin Feng. However, she was more than powerful enough to hunt ancient beasts on her own.

Listening to Qin Feng left Xiao Jing slightly shocked¹. But then again, she was by no means greedy. After seeing around 30 threadsnake bodies on the ground, she simply nodded her head and said, “Fine!”

Xiao Jing took out a few ropes and tied the reptiles together, dragging them alongside with her. Qin Feng did the same as well. With the army truck that they borrowed from the military, it was unnecessary for the two of them to dissect the corpses right here right now. All they needed to do was to bring them back to the base.

Squeal!!!

Suddenly, just as they were about 100 meters from the truck, Qin Feng prepared himself to go into combat mode.

Xiaobai squeaked, its voice clearly filled with anger and murderous rage. Immediately, Qin Feng put down the threadsnakes and combat backpack.

“What is going on?!” asked Xiao Jing.

“Just wait here. Don’t follow me!” replied Qin Feng harshly before disappearing into the woods.

To put it in a better way, Qin Feng had transformed into a blurry, greyish figure, hidden within the shadows of trees and stones. He was now invisible to others. Even Xiao Jing hadn’t the slightest on Qin Feng could turn utterly invisible to her in a matter of seconds!

This devilishly amazing feat It was the second ability from grey element runes that Qin Feng absorbed earlier. With lightning speed, Qin Feng dashed hundreds of meters and almost instantly reemerging at a spot near the rear of the truck. Just like expected, there were people stalking him in the bushes. He even spotted an a.s.sa.s.sin with a sniper rifle taking aim.

Under the cloak of invisibility, Qin Feng managed to approach one of the men. Clearly bored of all the waiting and the lack of action, he pulled out his communication device trying to contact his allies.

“Boss! How long do we need to wait? Why haven’t the two targets appeared yet?”

It would seem that someone else, someone up the ranks, was waiting to ambush them! Looking around suspiciously and making sure that there were no eavesdroppers, the man lying in the bush turned up the volume of his device instead of changing it to reading mode.

“It’s going to rain today. I’m pretty sure that our two targets will come back soon. I consider our luck pretty good so far! Hehe! I can’t believe that the targets are going to come to us!”

The voice filled with greed confirmed Qin Feng’s suspicions that all those people rummaging through the bushes were indeed here to attack him.

Were they here to rob or kill? This was the only question that lingered on his mind. Straightening up his shoulders, he came to a resolution. No matter what, he would never allow them to capture him. Never.

“Boss, I don’t think this whole thing is a good idea. Recently, the two of them had made a name for themselves at the gathering ground! Especially the woman! She is kind of close to Li Wen!”

Li Wen was the military captain of the plantation.

“Our two targets are just punks with no special abilities whatsoever! We don’t have to bear any responsibility! We can just toss them deep into the woods after we kill them! No one would find out!”

“Yeah. That’s right! I’m not too pleased about them getting so much battle loot every b.l.o.o.d.y day! And here, we have to risk our lives to get our hands on just a few quality weapons! Unfair, is what it is!”

“I’m so going to choke them to death and get myself an F-tier Neigong!”

A few of them had already started thinking about ways to use the reward of killing Qin Feng and Xiao Jing. And that had gotten Qin Feng a lot more furious. However, not letting his anger get the best of him, he restrained himself, helping him to stay invisible.

Instead, he stealthily crept his way to the sniper that was furthest from him. Considering the protective qualities of his special ability, a low-tier gun like that would not cause too much harm to him. These powers, however, did not apply Xiao Jing. One bullet from a well-aimed sniper could definitely maim and cause fatal injuries.

With a fine gun, a gunner could perform extremely well even though the person might be weak in terms of power. Qin Feng could guess that this sniper was the mysterious, greed-overflowing person that spoke over the communication device earlier.

Swoos.h.!.+

Qin Feng leaped onto a nearby tree, jumping over the sniper from his back and instantly gagging his mouth!

Mmrhmh!!!

In defense and sheer shock, the sniper started to struggle wildly. He had not expected an ambush, something that had cost him very dearly.
