Eek!

Eek!

Eek!

Xiaobai jumped down from the combat backpack. It lifted up its claw, revealing a fist-sized energy core beneath it. Seconds later, it disappeared into thin air. Not too long ago, Qin Feng and Xiaobai had come to an understanding about the looting of items. He knew that Xiaobai had just used its spatial element to retrieve the giant rat king’s energy core. It then transferred it back to its personal s.p.a.ce.

“Fine! This belongs to you. I will not take it away.”

Qin Feng was slightly frustrated at this but knew that without Xiaobai, it would have been impossible for him to locate the injured giant rat king.

Afterward, Qin Feng planted his dagger right into the creature, drawing a clean cut on its belly. He started to dissect the giant rat king, rummaging through its entrails and retrieving some valuable parts. Teeth and claws had a price to them and could be sold in the market. Other than that, some of the skin and fur on the giant rat king were still in good condition.

As for its flesh, it was, as a matter of fact, edible. Around 100 pounds of tasty meat was all for Qin Feng to harvest. By selling these off, he could earn some quick cash for himself. Fortunately, Xiaobai allowed him to utilize its personal s.p.a.ce. Surely, he would have trouble explaining away his bountiful harvest to the people. Having that in mind, he quickly stored all the rat’s parts into Xiaobai’s personal s.p.a.ce.

Leaving only bones on the ground, Qin Feng walked towards the vines. As he approached it, he found out that there were more than three Talent Fruits growing on the vines. Most of them had been gnawed by the giant rat king, leaving tell-tale marks teeth marks. It came to light that it was, in fact, rather difficult for a low-tier ultra beast the likes of a giant rat to evolve into giant rat king.

“Three it is then. Three Talent Fruits are good enough for me!”

Immediately, Qin Feng plucked off the three Talent Fruits from the vines. Unconsciously, he put one into his mouth and took a bite out of it.

Eek!

Xiaobai was staring at the Talent Fruit.

“You can have one!”

He decided to keep the last one for Zhou Hao. He then looked into his backpack, finding a bottle to store the fruit. Back at the base, everyone was still busy cleaning up the mess. None of them had the time to keep an eye on Qin Feng. No one would have noticed him leaving for a short period of time.

Under those circ.u.mstances, he could conceal the fact that he had just killed the giant rat king alone. Though an exchange for a reward for this accomplishment was possible, he eventually concluded that he would be better off keeping his discretion.

“Qin Feng!”

Li Yao was looking for Qin Feng the moment the battle died down. Unfortunately, he was nowhere to be found. After looking around her for a bit, she finally spotted him as he returned from killing the giant rat king.

“Qin Feng, are you hurt? I can treat your wounds right now!” Li Yao exclaimed when she saw his hands that were drenched in blood.

“Hey. I’m fine. Thank you.”

Qin Feng put on a frown on his face. He remembered that he’d not told Li Yao his name last time. That could only mean that Li Yao probably heard others mentioning his name since he had gotten quite famous at the base.

His rejection had turned Li Yao’s face pale. She did not expect that Qin Feng would treat her in such an icy manner. Right at that moment, Xiao Jing approached them as well.

“Qin Feng! Are you okay?!”

Earlier today, she too had taken part in defending the base, which was why she had no idea how was Qin Feng was doing. When she was helping the others clean the plantation, she was unable to locate Qin Feng. That had actually given her a good scare. Now, she was simply thankful that Qin Feng was well and alive.

“Hey? Are you hurt?” asked Qin Feng.

“It’s no big deal! I killed 20 giant rats just now!” said Xiao Jing with a smile.

“You should go collect your reward. I might have to go back to the colony!”
