Upgrade Plan

Swish!

With a plan in mind, Qin Shaofeng immediately drew the short sword from his waist, walked to one end of the large tree, and directly cut off a section of a branch.

He vigorously began to shave the branch with his short sword. Soon, a sharp little wooden stake was finished by Qin Shaofeng.

Channeling the Inner Qi within his body, Qin Shaofeng immediately consumed 5 points of Inner Qi. Then, the small wooden stake in his hand suddenly flashed slightly, imbued with a trace of fluorescent light. Under this fluorescent light, the sharp little wooden stake suddenly gained a sharp edge.

Satisfied with his creation, Qin Shaofeng nodded slightly.

Afterward, Qin Shaofeng's gaze shifted to the group of Demon Wolves still devouring the Black Scaled Giant Snake's corpse on the ground. A smug smile inexplicably appeared on his lips.

Whoosh!

Qin Shaofeng suddenly flicked his right hand, and the sharp little wooden stake instantly flew out, carrying a slight whistling sound as it shot towards the ground.

"Thwack!"

As if piercing something, a muffled, piercing sound rang out.

"Awooo!"

Immediately following was a wolf's mournful cry. One of the twenty to thirty Demon Wolves on the ground fell.

At the same time, Qin Shaofeng heard another system notification.

Success!

Qin Shaofeng rejoiced in his heart, his eyes filled with excitement.

It actually works like this!

Qin Shaofeng had only intended to try it out, but he hadn't expected it to actually succeed.

This made him inevitably look at the group of Demon Wolves on the ground, his eyes flashing with golden light.

These were all experience points!

At this moment, the area on the ground crowded with twenty to thirty Demon Wolves was no longer a dangerous place in Qin Shaofeng's eyes. Instead, it had become a perfect spot for farming monsters!

Meanwhile, the group of Demon Wolves on the ground was startled when one of their companions suddenly died. On alert, they quickly discovered Qin Shaofeng on the large tree.

This made them instantly understand that their companion had definitely died at the hands of the human on the tree.

For a moment, all the Demon Wolves roared furiously at Qin Shaofeng on the tree.

But they weren't cats, and they had no way to deal with Qin Shaofeng, who was in the tree.

After roaring, seeing that Qin Shaofeng made no further moves, the group of Demon Wolves eventually ignored him and refocused on their current feast.

Low-level Demonic Beasts were truly low-level Demonic Beasts, with extremely limited intelligence.

Even with a companion dying right before their eyes, they remained indifferent.

However, from the occasional glances the wolves cast up at Qin Shaofeng, he understood that the pack had become somewhat vigilant.

With a slight smile, Qin Shaofeng suddenly flashed and disappeared.

Qin Shaofeng hadn't truly left.

With a few successive leaps, Qin Shaofeng arrived at another large tree and began to make more small wooden stakes like before with his short sword.

In less than a moment, Qin Shaofeng had made no less than fifty small wooden stakes.

And during this short period, the Black Scaled Giant Snake's corpse on the ground had already been eaten by seven to eight-tenths by the wolf pack.

Even the corpse of the Demon Wolf that had died by Qin Shaofeng's hand had been shared by its companions.

At this point, the wolf pack was showing signs of dispersing.

"Good thing I made it in time!"

He let out a soft sigh, and a meaningful smile appeared on Qin Shaofeng's lips as he looked at the wolf pack on the ground.

Let's begin!

With a flash of sharp light in his eyes, Qin Shaofeng picked up the small wooden stakes one by one. While consuming Inner Qi to enhance their sharpness, he precisely hurled them at the heads of the Demon Wolves on the ground.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Faint whistling sounds filled the air. Accompanying these sounds, the Demon Wolves on the ground suddenly let out cries of agony and pain.

Demon Wolves continuously fell to the ground, and Qin Shaofeng kept hearing system notifications.

"System Notification: Congratulations to player for killing one low-level eighth-tier ordinary Demon Wolf, gaining 2 experience points!"

"System Notification: Congratulations to player for killing one low-level eighth-tier ordinary Demon Wolf, gaining 2 experience points!"

"..."

Before long, the pack of twenty to thirty Demon Wolves on the ground had all been killed by Qin Shaofeng.

Without a second glance, after confirming that all the Demon Wolves on the ground were dead and sensing no other Demon Wolves or Demonic Beasts nearby, Qin Shaofeng leaped down to the ground.

Qin Shaofeng wasn't here to collect loot from the Demon Wolves. He jumped down to retrieve the small wooden stakes from the bodies of the Demon Wolves.

Qin Shaofeng's speed was extremely fast. In just five to six breaths, he had collected all the small wooden stakes.

After finishing the collection of the small wooden stakes, Qin Shaofeng quickly leaped up and returned to the large tree.

Just as Qin Shaofeng finished hiding in the large tree, the bushes on the ground rustled violently, and then several Demon Wolves leaped out.

There were already twenty to thirty ordinary Demon Wolves dead on the ground, and the smell of blood had become extremely strong, spreading far.

Before long, a pack of Demon Wolves gathered on the ground again.

Once the numbers were sufficient, Qin Shaofeng repeated his previous method, using those small wooden stakes to kill another dozen or so ordinary Demon Wolves.

After repeating this process several times, a Demon Wolf King at the Houtian Realm finally appeared.

It seemed this area was the territory of a wolf pack, and it was precisely the smell of blood that attracted them. They were only some low-level eighth and ninth-layer, with a small number of low-level tenth-layer Demon Wolves.

The increase of 2 points of experience had already made Qin Shaofeng impatient.

If it weren't for the speed, Qin Shaofeng would have already thought about leaving.

Now, a Demon Wolf King suddenly appeared. Although killing it still only yielded 2 points of experience, it offered some challenge to Qin Shaofeng.

In fact, it was true.

That Demon Wolf King at the Houtian Realm, although only at the first layer of the intermediate level, the same as Qin Shaofeng's realm, was different from the ordinary Demon Wolves. Upon discovering Qin Shaofeng's tracks, the Demon Wolf King leaped directly onto the same large tree as Qin Shaofeng.

Then, it faced Qin Shaofeng head-on.

"Awooo--!"

As if questioning why Qin Shaofeng was slaughtering its subjects, the Demon Wolf King let out a howl at Qin Shaofeng. Even though it was a Demonic Beast, Qin Shaofeng could still hear the Demon Wolf King's rage from its voice.

But Qin Shaofeng remained unmoved, chuckling softly, "Tsk tsk, a mid-level Demonic Beast can also get angry like a human?"

The Demon Wolf King seemed to possess considerable intelligence and appeared to understand Qin Shaofeng's words, which only enraged it further.

After baring its teeth, the Demon Wolf King suddenly lunged at Qin Shaofeng.

Judging by the momentum of its pounce alone, the Demon Wolf King's strength was likely much greater than the Black Scaled Giant Snake Qin Shaofeng had encountered before.

According to the realm division, if the Black Scaled Giant Snake was at the mid-stage of the Houtian First Layer, then this Demon Wolf King was at the peak of the Houtian First Layer.

If it were a one-on-one fight, this Demon Wolf King would definitely have a higher chance of winning than the Black Scaled Giant Snake.

Unfortunately, even so, the Demon Wolf King's attack was destined to fail!

In fact, from the very beginning, when Qin Shaofeng decided to use this method to farm monsters, its outcome was already sealed.

Swish!

Qin Shaofeng's right hand trembled slightly, and his Inner Qi instantly decreased by 20 points. Then, a silver blade light flew out.

"Pfft--!"

With a piercing sound, the silver blade light passed through the Demon Wolf King's chest, directly penetrating its body. It then passed through several more trees before disappearing into the depths of the bushes.

Thump!

The Demon Wolf King's corpse, which was several times larger than an ordinary Demon Wolf, crashed heavily to the ground.

Accompanying the sound of its fall, two system prompts echoed in Qin Shaofeng's mind.

"System Notification: Congratulations to the player for killing one mid-level first-layer ordinary Demon Wolf King, gaining 2 experience points!"

"System Notification: Congratulations to the player for reaching the level-up requirement. Player Qin Shaofeng's level has been raised to Houtian Second Level!"

"Haha, I finally leveled up!"

Hearing the system prompts, Qin Shaofeng laughed happily.

Houtian Second Level, and Houtian Fifth Level doesn't seem far away!

Upgrading to Houtian Fifth Level in three days seems like no problem!

Bang!

As a black object fell from the large tree to the ground, another mid-level first-layer Demonic Beast met its end at Qin Shaofeng's hands.

But after a moment, Qin Shaofeng shook his head in disappointment.

This was already an unknown number of mid-level Demonic Beasts he had killed.

It had been more than three hours since he killed that Demon Wolf King and leveled up to Houtian Second Level.

In those three hours, Qin Shaofeng had moved to quite a few places.

Three hours ago, right after Qin Shaofeng killed that Demon Wolf King, the strong smell of blood attracted two Houtian Fifth Level giant pythons.

Seeing this, how could Qin Shaofeng dare to linger?

He didn't even have time to retrieve the small wooden stakes and hastily leaped away.

Afterward, Qin Shaofeng repeated his method, making fifty more small wooden stakes, then finding a place with many Demonic Beasts, and started grinding monsters again.

However, it wasn't long before the strong smell of blood attracted some powerful Demonic Beasts again.

Although the second group that arrived was only a Houtian Fourth Level Crimson Flame Eagle, because it could fly and brought several subordinates, Qin Shaofeng could only choose to flee the scene.

It went on like this, intermittently, finding a place to grind monsters, then encountering one or two BOSSes.

If Qin Shaofeng could defeat a BOSS, he naturally wouldn't let it go, but if he couldn't, Qin Shaofeng could only move to another place.

Over the three hours, Qin Shaofeng had killed quite a few Demonic Beasts, but the experience gained wasn't much.

Although he had killed several Houtian Third Level beasts and lone Houtian Fourth Level Demonic Beasts above his level during this period.

The experience gained was still not enough for him to level up.

"This won't do if it continues like this!"

Qin Shaofeng, who was cultivating in a tree hollow, sighed softly.

Looking at his status interface, a flicker of hesitation crossed Qin Shaofeng's eyes.

He had already adapted to this place, and it was time to find some Houtian Third and Fourth Level Demonic Beasts to kill.

After thinking for a while, Qin Shaofeng made his decision.

"It seems it's time to start the real leveling plan!"

Killing low-level Demonic Beasts, or mid-level Demonic Beasts at his own level, was just Qin Shaofeng adapting to the Black Horn Mountain Range and fighting against Demonic Beasts.

After this adaptation, it was naturally time for Qin Shaofeng to begin his real leveling plan!
