Qin Feng stepped forward excitedly and picked up the treasure chest.
[Black Iron Treasure Chest: 98% chance of yielding a tier-one item, 2% chance of yielding a tier-two item.]
What would this treasure chest yield?
Qin Feng gave it no further thought and opened the chest.
Hum!
A burst of white light shone.
The treasure chest disappeared, and a long saber with a black hilt and a white blade appeared in Qin Feng's hand. It looked much like a katana and was exceptionally cool.
[Treasure chest opened successfully! Obtained tier-two item-Blood Wolf War Blade!] [Blood Wolf War Blade: Forged from titanium alloy and infused with wolf blood essence. Extremely hard and incomparably sharp. Attack +15, wound tearing +100.]
It had actually yielded a tier-two item!
Qin Feng was ecstatic once again!
There was only a 2% chance of getting a tier-two item, yet he had hit the jackpot again.
His luck was incredible, with one pleasant surprise after another!
Perhaps he was even the first person in this beginner area to own tier-two equipment.
Qin Feng stroked the Blood Wolf War Blade, unable to put it down, feeling the particularly bone-chilling cold emanating from its white blade.
The quality of this saber far surpassed that of the steel saber in his hand.
Its +15 attack was a full 10 points higher than the tier-one steel saber's.
Even better, it had an additional attribute.
[Wound tearing +100: Wounds inflicted by this saber are difficult to heal and will cause continuous damage.]
"Nice! Nice! What a fine saber!"
Qin Feng stroked the blade with delight written all over his face.
Then he bundled his steel saber together with the other steel sabers and strapped them to his back.
With that, he had traded his old gear for something far better, finally obtaining a decent piece of equipment.
After doing all this, he returned to the Silverback Gray Wolf's corpse and began extracting...
[Endless Extraction successful! Obtained 3 agility points!]
Qin Feng was pleasantly surprised.
Mutated ferocious beasts really were different. It had given him 3 attribute points at once, far more than an ordinary level-one ferocious beast.
Awooo!
Just then, several wolf howls came from nearby.
Qin Feng hurriedly looked up and saw five grassland gray wolves charging toward him.
They had come to help after hearing the Silverback Gray Wolf's howls.
"Just in time!"
Delighted, Qin Feng raised the Blood Wolf War Blade and charged at the pack.
Now that he had leveled up and his strength had soared, this was the perfect chance to test it.
Besides, grassland gray wolves were ordinary level-one ferocious beasts, nowhere near as strong as a level-one mutated ferocious beast.
Even with five of them joining forces, he was unafraid.
Within moments, the two sides met!
Battle erupted at once!
One vicious wolf pounced first.
Swish!
Qin Feng slashed straight at it!
The flash of his blade cut across the sky!
Crack!
Blood sprayed!
Starting at the hardest part, the skull, that slash cut all the way through to its rump, splitting the vicious wolf in two!
The cut was utterly smooth, without the slightest resistance.
A fine saber!
Delighted, Qin Feng charged in again, hacking through the wolves as easily as chopping vegetables, one wolf with each slash...
For a moment, the wolves' anguished cries rang out as blood flew everywhere...
[Successfully killed a level-one grassland gray wolf. Gained +30 energy points!] [Successfully killed a level-one grassland gray wolf. Gained +30 energy points!] [Successfully killed a level-one grassland gray wolf. Gained +30 energy points!]
Streak after streak of white energy light flew from the wolf corpses and surged into Qin Feng's body...
Warm, comfortable sensations washed over his body in wave after wave.
In mere moments, he had slaughtered all five vicious wolves.
One man had killed five wolves!
It had taken less than three minutes from start to finish!
His combat strength was unmatched!
A breeze blew past, and the grassland rippled like a sea, his clothes fluttering in the wind.
The thick smell of blood hung in the air.
Qin Feng glanced indifferently at the wolf corpses strewn across the ground, then carefully wiped the blood from his blade.
These grassland gray wolves were of little use to him. He had long since reached his extraction limit for them, so there was no value in extracting from them again.
Still, killing five vicious wolves in succession had earned him 150 energy points, greatly accelerating his progress toward the next level.
How far had he progressed toward his next level now?
With that thought, Qin Feng opened his attribute panel.
[Name]: Qin Feng [Level]: 2 (220/300) [Reputation]: 1 [Strength]: 30 (Strength Berserk, D-rank) [Agility]: 34 (Speed Enhancement, E-rank) [Constitution]: 38 (Poison resistance +100, no talent yet) [Spirit]: 44 (Vision Super Enhancement, E-rank; Sense of Smell Enhancement, F-rank) [Innate Talent]: Endless Extraction (SSS-rank), [Skill]: Eye of True Sight [Combat Power Assessment]: 3 stars [Unallocated Attribute Points]: 5
Nice! Nice!
After reading his stats, Qin Feng was overjoyed.
His combat power assessment had reached 3 stars.
In terms of overall strength, he could definitely reach 5 stars.
Five stars was the strength of a level-three ferocious beast.
Right, I still have 5 unallocated attribute points.
How should I allocate them?
After thinking for a while, Qin Feng decided to allocate them later.
He was in no hurry to spend his points anyway.
Just then, he glanced at the attribute panel again and froze.
A reputation entry had actually appeared beneath the level entry.
He actually had 1 reputation point.
Where had this reputation come from?
With a thought, he switched to the Heavenly Dao screen's home page.
Sure enough, a new announcement had appeared on the screen's home page.
[Announcement: Beginner Qin Feng has achieved the first kill of a level-one mutated ferocious beast. Awarded 1 reputation point.] [Reminder: Reputation points are extremely precious. When your reputation reaches a certain threshold, you can receive a blessing from the Heavenly Dao.] [Reminder: Only the first person to kill a level-one mutated ferocious beast can earn reputation. Anyone who kills a level-one mutated ferocious beast afterward cannot earn reputation.]
After reading this, he understood, and delight showed in his eyes.
There had been too many messages earlier, and he had missed this announcement.
"Interesting!"
Qin Feng smiled faintly and entered the chat channel.
The conversation there was already in full swing.
"Wow! Big shot Qin Feng actually killed a level-one mutated ferocious beast and earned 1 reputation point."
"Yeah! He must be the first person to have reputation!"
"Reputation seems really useful. Once you accumulate enough, you can receive a blessing from the Heavenly Dao!"
"Yeah! I'm so jealous of Qin Feng!"
As soon as those words appeared, a few people chimed in with sour comments.
"Are level-one mutated ferocious beasts really that powerful? They don't seem all that impressive to me!"
"I think so too. They definitely can't compare to level-two ferocious beasts."
"If you ask me, any level-two expert with a few level-ones could kill a level-one mutated ferocious beast."
"What a shame! Someone already beat us to it. Killing another level-one mutated ferocious beast won't earn any reputation now."
"All I can say is that Qin Feng was too lucky, running into a level-one mutated ferocious beast first. My level ranking is clearly higher than Qin Feng's, but I never got the chance to encounter a mutated ferocious beast."
The person who said this was a level-two expert named Liu Yuan.
"Big shot above, as soon as that reputation announcement came out, I checked Qin Feng's level ranking. He's eleventh. What rank are you?"
Liu Yuan: "I'm ninth!"
"Wow! So you're the big shot ranked ninth! I bow before you!"
"Big shot Liu Yuan ranks higher than Qin Feng, so he can definitely kill mutated ferocious beasts."
"Of course! The higher the ranking, the stronger you are! Big shot Liu Yuan, do you need a lackey? I want to follow you!"
"Big shot Liu Yuan, I want to hunt mutated ferocious beasts with you too."
"Brother Liu Yuan, please carry this little sister!"
At that, the chat exploded.
Many people were sucking up to Liu Yuan.
It was as though Liu Yuan could easily slaughter a level-one mutated ferocious beast as soon as he made a move.
But just then, new announcements appeared...
[Announcement: Level-one beginner Chen Lin has been killed by the level-one mutated ferocious beast, Fanged Wild Boar!] [Announcement: Level-one beginner Wei Bo has been killed by the level-one mutated ferocious beast, Fanged Wild Boar!] [Announcement: Level-one beginner Wang Xiaoxiao has been killed by the level-one mutated ferocious beast, Fanged Wild Boar!] [Announcement: Level-two beginner Liu Yunchang has been killed by the level-one mutated ferocious beast, Fanged Wild Boar!]
Holy shit!
Four people had died at once!
Everyone was stunned!
In that brief span, the level-one mutated ferocious beast had killed four people in succession, and one of them was even a level-two expert.
My God!
So level-one mutated ferocious beasts were that powerful!
The entire chat channel instantly fell silent...
