Growing Stronger, Killing in Secret!

Qin Feng took a deep breath, crouched down, and prepared to act.

Even though his combat power was far below the elephant king's, he had numerous innate abilities. It was worth a try.

Besides, his primary targets were the ordinary giant elephants.

He could wait for an opportunity to kill the elephant king, or leave it until later.

[Reminder: Liu Xuan exchanged two level 5 ferocious beast corpses for your tier 1 steel saber.]

Just as Qin Feng was about to act, a notification came from the Heavenly Dao.

Oh!

The rewards were here!

Right!

While he was on his way here, Liu Yuan had also traded with him once.

Liu Yuan had exchanged three tier 1 spirit herbs for a tier 1 steel saber.

He had been traveling the entire time and had not had time to deal with them.

Now, he felt his strength was somewhat lacking and urgently needed to improve it.

This was the perfect time to extract those spirit herbs and use them.

With that thought, Qin Feng hurriedly entered the trading channel.

A moment later, white light flashed repeatedly before him, and three spirit herbs appeared, along with two level 5 ferocious beast corpses.

After scanning them with the Eye of True Sight, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that all three spirit herbs were nonpoisonous.

He quickly extracted their essences and swallowed them.

One spirit herb increased his energy by 2 points.

One increased his strength by 3 points.

One strengthened his meridians and increased his constitution by 2 points.

Then, the two level 5 ferocious beast corpses gave him another 4 attribute points.

A very good haul!

He also opened his panel to check his latest stats.

Good! Very good!

My combat power has finally reached 20 stars!

Qin Feng was delighted after looking over his stats.

Then, remembering something else, he took a cloth bundle from his storage ring.

He opened the bundle, revealing a sticky mass inside.

It was the venom gland he had obtained from the Deadly Poison Ten-Ringed Snake back in the Beginner Plains. He had not used it all up yet.

This time, he took it out and spread the venom evenly over his saber's tip and edge.

Once he was done, he crouched down and crept toward a giant elephant under cover of the wild grass.

That elephant was not the closest to him, but it was the farthest from the herd.

Two hundred meters... one hundred meters... meters...

Qin Feng crept forward with extreme caution.

Before he knew it, he had slipped close to the lone giant elephant.

Only five meters now separated them.

Qin Feng held his breath and advanced one small step at a time, his footsteps exceedingly light.

Five meters... four meters... three meters...

The giant elephant had its head lowered, curling fragrant grass into its trunk and chewing contentedly.

Suddenly, it heard a faint sound and turned its head to look, only to see a human crouching right in front of it.

It was shocked!

But before it could react, Qin Feng struck.

Swish~!

Cold light flashed!

The saber swept across its throat with unerring precision!

Squelch~!

Blood sprayed!

"Guh~! Guh~! Gah~!"

Strange sounds came from the giant elephant's throat.

It wanted to let out a shrill roar, but its windpipe had been severed, leaving it unable to cry out.

Blood poured wildly from its throat, and its pupils began to lose focus.

Then its body swayed slightly, its four legs went limp, and it collapsed to the ground...

[Successfully killed a level 12 Berserk Mammoth. Gained +610 energy points.]

A streak of white light rose from the elephant's corpse and flowed into Qin Feng's body, spreading warmth throughout him...

His leveling progress also appeared in his mind: level 7 (8460/18000)...

Not bad!

610 energy points from just one!

Qin Feng looked around again. The herd was still grazing, and not a single elephant had been alerted.

He inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

That really was a perfect sneak attack!

He immediately stepped forward to extract the elephant's corpse...

[Endless Extraction successful! Obtained the E-rank talent-Constitution Enhancement-again!]

[The two talents are automatically stacking and strengthening. Autonomous evolution in progress...]

[Evolution failed... Your constitution talent remains at E-rank.]

Uh~!

The evolution failed!

Qin Feng composed himself, then crouched down and crept toward a second lone giant elephant...

Before long, he had slipped up beside it.

He struck with his saber!

The blade flashed!

Squelch~!

Blood sprayed again!

The giant elephant crumpled to the ground without a sound.

Another perfect sneak attack!

He stepped forward to extract it again...

[Endless Extraction successful! Obtained the E-rank talent-Constitution Enhancement-again!]

[The two talents are automatically stacking and strengthening. Autonomous evolution in progress...]

[Evolution successful... Your constitution talent has evolved into the D-rank talent-Constitution Berserk.]

Haha!!

It worked!

The evolution finally succeeded this time!

Qin Feng was overjoyed.

Now, the talents for all four of his attributes had reached D-rank, leaving no weaknesses.

His strength had grown another notch without any visible sign.

Once his excitement subsided, Qin Feng continued ambushing lone giant elephants.

Before long, he killed a third giant elephant and extracted another 2 constitution points.

With that, he had reached his extraction limit for the giant elephants. They no longer had any extraction value.

Time flew!

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Feng secretly ambushed and killed eight lone giant elephants, quickly bringing his leveling progress to level 7 (12730/18000)...

By now, there were no lone giant elephants left.

Most were gathered together grazing, or clustered in groups of three to five.

Qin Feng's gaze swept around before finally settling on two giant elephants at the outskirts.

The two seemed to be a pair, constantly sticking together.

Killing one would definitely alert the other, which might then alert the entire herd, but Qin Feng had no choice left.

He took a deep breath, crouched down, and crept toward the two giant elephants under cover of the grass.
