Chapter 25 (2/2)
Squeak!
Squeak!
Squeak!
The unmistakable sounds of the rat suddenly appeared, promoting Xiaobai to shout!
Qin Feng channeled his mind into activating a dark rune and transformed himself into a shadow.
Swoosh!
The soil on the ground started to shift. The ground caved in, revealing what must have been a large hole, obviously bored by some creature. Then, an injured giant rat king slowly emerged from it. One of its legs had broken, half its fur had been singed off, and its skin had large, bloody lesions. The skill that flame ability user applied on him had severely burnt its flesh; it’s most severe being its stomach that had been slashed open by the spikes.
The giant rat king was trying to climb up the mountain. When the rain had slowed down, Qin Feng could see that there were long, lush vines crawling on the mountain’s wall. There were even small fruits growing on them.
“Talent Fruits!” shouted Qin Feng in excitement.
4Talent Fruits were considered low-tier Spirit Fruits. It could only be consumed by ability users that were below F-tier. However, partaking of the fruit bore astounding effects. It could be used to activate one’s ability and Ancient Warrior’s constitution. Only a limited amount of Talent Fruits were produced every year. People would literally give up everything they had just for the chance of purchasing one.
1Talent Fruits were costly, to say the least, and could cost up to five million yuan on the black market! Even talentless sod could become an ability user after consuming the fruit. For instance, one could acquire a gunner’s disposition at will. This became the reason why the rich loved to get their hands on the Talent Fruit. They would purchase it and give them to their children – hoping that they would acquire a higher disposition in the future—a cheat of sorts.
Qin Feng did not expect that he would find three Talent Fruits here. Seeing the giant rat king trying to get close to the Talent Fruits, he figured out that it was trying to consume these in the hopes of healing its injuries.
There was no way that Qin Feng would let go of this rare opportunity. Slowly and silently, he snuck up the rat from behind.
“Open up!” he yelled.
4With inner force filling up both his hands, Qin Feng grabbed the giant rat king by its tail with every ounce of his strength. The sudden attack caused it to lose its balance, enabling Qin Feng to swing the giant rat king and flip it over.
“Asteroid Assimilation!”
The powerful pulling force from the skill managed to restrict its movements. However, the giant rat king kept on struggling with its humungous body, preventing it from getting any closer to Qin Feng.
Suddenly, Qin Feng directed his inner force outwards!
Blarggh!
With a paralyzing shudder, blood gushed out of the open wounds on the giant rat king’s chest.
“Shatter!”
Putting his life on the line, Qin Feng charged toward the giant rat king to land a massive punch on its wound.
Klak!
Klak!
Its ribcage shattered at the impact, revealing a beating heart. Pulling his arm away, he stood up and dashed and as far away as possible. The giant rat king then mustered all his strength to stand up. It somehow managed to regain its balance. With its mouth wide open and bloodshot eyes glaring at Qin Feng, it paused for a second. then, with a sniff, it started pouncing on him
Then, before it even crossed 10 meters, it collapsed on the ground, an ever-increasing pool of blood oozing out from its insides.
The giant rat king was officially dead. Subsequently, Qin Feng absorbed all the rat king’s energy. It made his muscles bulge a little more. His bones became more robust, and his heartbeat, more vibrant. He could barely contain the excess energy bursting out from the constraints of his limbs!
G5-tier!
Qin Feng breathed deeply with his eyes closed, relishing his newly acquired subhuman fortitude. He knew that he was now powerful enough to shatter a rock with his fist.
1His speed and strength had been boosted tremendously.
“Not bad!”
In the end? It was worth the chase.
