After closing the Heavenly Dao's light screen, Qin Feng looked at the hound's corpse at his feet.
A seal fragment floated above the corpse.
He hurried forward to pick it up.
[Darkness Seal Fragment: Formed when mysterious runes absorb and condense dark energy. Collect 5 fragments to obtain a complete Dark Seal.]
So that was how a Dark Seal was made!
Qin Feng understood.
He clearly remembered that every Two-Headed Hellhound had dropped a seal fragment.
By that reckoning, the six hellhounds he had killed meant six fragments. Wasn't that more than enough?
Qin Feng happily put away the seal fragment.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo!"
Just then, a rooster actually crowed in the village behind him.
Its cry was loud and clear, piercing the night sky.
There were chickens in the village?
Qin Feng couldn't help looking back. As the rooster crowed, the light of dawn arrived, spreading across the sky above the entire village.
Then the mysterious village slowly turned transparent, gradually flickering in and out of sight, as though it were about to disappear...
Startled, Qin Feng couldn't help stepping forward to investigate.
By the time he drew near, the entire village had vanished without a trace. A barren stretch of land lay before him, with only that towering old tree standing alone in the wind.
The village had actually disappeared!
Qin Feng froze.
Just then, a Heavenly Dao notification sounded in his mind.
[Reminder: The Lost Village connects to tens of millions of novice villages. It arrives in the darkness of night and disappears before dawn.]
So that was it!
Qin Feng understood.
It turned out that the Lost Village connected to tens of millions of novice villages and only appeared at night.
In other words, as long as they had a Dark Seal, all ten billion people around the globe had a chance to enter it.
That thought made Qin Feng anxious.
He worried that people from other novice villages would get there first and take the treasures inside the Lost Village before he could.
Fortunately!
Heavens' Slaughter World had only opened a day ago. There probably weren't many people like him who had ventured straight into the level 10 vicious beast area and discovered this village by chance.
No matter what, he had to explore this village soon and get his hands on its treasures first.
He didn't want someone else to reap the benefits.
Tonight, he would come back!
With that thought, Qin Feng looked at the hound's corpse at his feet. It still lay there quietly.
He inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the hound corpses were all still there. They hadn't disappeared with the village.
He immediately hurried forward to extract...
[Endless Extraction successful! Obtained E-rank talent-Darkness Enhancement!]
Another new talent!
Nice! Nice!
Qin Feng was delighted.
[Reminder: Your heavenly class, Judge, has reached level 1 (100/100) advancement progress. You must also comprehend the D-rank talent-Darkness Manipulation-to advance to level 2.]
So his heavenly class had already reached level 1 (100/100)!
But its advancement actually had a talent requirement.
This class was no simple thing!
It seemed that obtaining the E-rank Darkness Enhancement talent had triggered this notification.
What benefits would he get after advancing?
At that thought, Qin Feng brimmed with anticipation for his heavenly class advancement.
Then he continued collecting his spoils.
Soon, he found the second hound corpse, obtained another seal fragment, and stepped forward to extract...
[Endless Extraction successful! Obtained E-rank talent-Darkness Enhancement-again!] [The two talents are automatically stacking and strengthening. Autonomous evolution in progress...] [Talent evolution failed... Your darkness talent remains at E-rank.]
Uh!
It actually failed this time!
Qin Feng felt a little regretful.
He continued searching along his original route and soon found the third hound corpse. He collected the third seal fragment, then extracted...
[Endless Extraction successful! Obtained E-rank talent-Darkness Enhancement-again!] [The two talents are automatically stacking and strengthening. Autonomous evolution in progress...] [Talent evolution successful! Your darkness talent has advanced to D-rank-Darkness Manipulation.] [Detected that you possess the D-rank talent Flame Manipulation and the D-rank talent Darkness Manipulation. Talent skill autonomously awakened-Hellfire!] [Hellfire: A tier 2 skill. Its power depends on the strength of your fire abilities, darkness abilities, and energy.]
He had awakened a new skill!
And it was a tier 2 skill!
This was fantastic!
Qin Feng was thrilled!
[Your darkness talent has advanced to D-rank, meeting the heavenly class advancement requirements.] [You have successfully advanced to level 2 Judge!] [Your strength index has increased by 20 points!] [Your agility index has increased by 20 points!] [Your constitution index has increased by 20 points!] [Your energy index has increased by 20 points!]
Hum!
At that moment, dazzling white light shone from Qin Feng!
A warm sensation spread throughout his body, incomparably soothing...
A moment later, the light faded.
He opened his eyes in delight.
He had leveled up!
His heavenly class had finally leveled up!
One heavenly class level actually granted 80 attribute points, far more than an ordinary level-up!
Just thinking about it felt great!
Qin Feng was ecstatic!
He believed that, among the ten billion people around the globe, few possessed a heavenly class.
After all, only one person in a billion could obtain one.
And Heavens' Slaughter World had only opened a day ago. Those slots wouldn't fill up so quickly.
In any case, this heavenly class advancement had come at just the right time.
His chances of winning the upcoming Resource Wager were even greater now.
Amir was an ascetic from Asan Country and was already level 7. His leveling progress was actually a step ahead of Qin Feng's.
Qin Feng didn't dare underestimate him.
So he had to give it his all.
He immediately continued looking for the hound corpses and soon found the fourth.
This time, Endless Extraction failed.
He could only use Endless Extraction three times on the same vicious beast species.
Mutant vicious beasts were no exception.
Qin Feng continued searching.
In no time, he found all six hound corpses and obtained six seal fragments in total.
Then he combined five of the fragments into a complete Dark Seal.
By then, dawn's light had illuminated the entire wasteland.
In the morning breeze, Qin Feng gazed at the seal in his hand, delighted.
It was a pentagonal black seal, with strange runes engraved on the front and the image of a demon god's head on the back.
"I finally got a Dark Seal. Tonight, I'll be able to enter the Lost Village. I wonder what treasures are inside? Hehe!"
The more Qin Feng thought about it, the more he looked forward to it.
He admired the seal for a while, reluctant to put it down, before storing it in his storage ring.
Then he took out the bronze treasure chest, preparing to open it...
[Urgent announcement: Novice Village No. 446 has activated a Wager Token, forcibly connecting to Novice Village No. 911 and initiating a Resource Wager!] [Resource Wager: The losing side will have all resources halved, and everyone will lose 20 attribute points. The winning side will have all resources doubled, and everyone will gain 20 attribute points.] [Competition objective: The first novice village to produce a level 8 powerhouse will win this wager.] [Reminder: The first person to reach level 8 and win this wager will receive an additional reward of 50 attribute points and one silver treasure chest.] [Reminder: The chat channels of the two novice areas are being linked...] [Reminder: During the wager, the ranking channels of both novice villages will be temporarily blocked...]
The people of Asan Country had finally made their move!
The Resource Wager had begun...
