Global Killing: Starting with an SSS-level Talent-Chapter 88
Chapter 88
Meanwhile, Qin Feng continued his relentless harvest of energy from the ant swarm.
Whoosh~! Whoosh~! Whoosh~!
Countless blade qi crisscrossed the battlefield!
Clang~! Clang~! Clang~!
One after another, soldier ants were cleaved in two.
[Successfully killed a Level 13 Iron-Eating Soldier Ant, gained +670 energy points.]
[Successfully killed a Level 13 Iron-Eating Soldier Ant, gained +670 energy points.]
[Successfully killed a Level 13 Iron-Eating Soldier Ant, gained +670 energy points.]
………
Energy was being harvested in droves.
Zhii~! Zhii~! Zhii~!
The Ant Queen shrieked in desperation.
It was then that Qin Feng noticed the Ant Queen’s grotesque obesity, her legs and feet practically atrophied that rendered her nearly immobile.
It seemed she possessed little offensive capabilities herself and relied solely on manipulating the ant swarm to eliminate her enemies.
Unfortunately for her, she had encountered an adversary as formidable as Qin Feng.
Her ant legions were utterly powerless against him!
Whoosh~! Whoosh~! Whoosh~!
[Successfully killed a Level 13 Iron-Eating Soldier Ant, gained +670 energy points.]
[Successfully killed a Level 13 Iron-Eating Soldier Ant, gained +670 energy points.]
……
It wasn’t long before Qin Feng had slaughtered all the hundred-plus soldier ants.
His energy surged dramatically.
Haha!
Now it was the Ant Queen’s turn.
Whoosh~!
With a flash, Qin Feng lunged towards the Ant Queen.
Zhii~! Zhii~! Zhii~!
The Ant Queen shrieked in terror, her eyes glowing with a silvery light.
Hum~!
An invisible wave of psychic energy surged towards Qin Feng.
Tsk~!
The Ant Queen actually dared to attempt Mental Control on him!
Qin Feng scoffed.
His own mental talent was D-rank, so how could he be affected by such a feeble attempt?
The wave of psychic energy washed over Qin Feng.
But he remained completely unaffected, his speed undiminished.
Whoosh~!
In the blink of an eye, he arrived before the Ant Queen.
Zhii~! Zhii~! Zhii~!
Splurt~!
The Ant Queen shrieked. It suddenly opened its maw and spewed a torrent of transparent mucus towards Qin Feng like a torrential downpour.
What’s this?!
Qin Feng’s heart skipped a beat and he instinctively activated his Crystal Armor Formation.
Crack~! Crack~! Crack~!
In an instant, crystalline armor enveloped his entire body, transforming him into a mechanical god of war.
A moment later, the transparent mucus splattered against the crystal armor.
Hiss~! Hiss~! Hiss~!
The crystal armor rapidly corroded upon contact with the mucus, emitting wisps of greenish smoke as the substance ate its way inward.
Holy crap~!
This was formic acid!
Its corrosive power was terrifying and it was capable of melting metal and stone, even dissolving the crystal armor.
He couldn’t allow the corrosion to continue!
Splurt~!
Just then, the Ant Queen unleashed another mouthful of the acidic liquid.
A glimmer of triumph flickered in its eyes. It seemed that this formic acid was its ultimate weapon.
It intended to catch Qin Feng off guard and to melt this human before it with its formic acid.
Splash~! Sizzle~! Sizzle~!
The formic acid struck Qin Feng once more, its corrosive power intensifying.
Splurt~!
The Ant Queen unleashed a third wave of the acidic liquid.
Boom~!
At that very moment, a surge of black-red flames erupted from Qin Feng’s body, burning with ferocious intensity.
He had unleashed Hellfire!
In an instant, he transformed into a Flame War God.
Whoosh~! Crackle~! Crackle~!
The acidic mucus descended!
Hiss~~!
It vaporized into greenish smoke upon contact with the flames, and was unable to harm Qin Feng in the slightest.
Whoosh~!
In the next instant, a blinding several meters long blade of light cleaved down towards the Ant Queen’s head.
Zhii~! Zhii~! Zhii~!
The Ant Queen shrieked in terror.
She hadn’t anticipated that her ultimate weapon, the formic acid, would be countered so easily.
Clang~! Clang~! Clang~!
In the blink of an eye, a suit of black iron armor materialized around her body, radiating a chilling metallic sheen.
This was her final act of defiance!
In the next instant, the blade struck!
Crack~!
A crisp, snapping sound!
Viscous fluids splattered!
The Ant Queen’s head had been cleaved in two!
[Successfully killed a Level 13 Gold-Devouring Ant (King-level), gained +6000 energy points.]
[Successfully killed a Level 13 Gold-Devouring Ant (King-level), gained +4 reputation.]
[Successfully killed a Level 13 Gold-Devouring Ant (King-level), obtained a mission item—King Core (Metal).]
[Successfully killed a Level 13 Gold-Devouring Ant (King-level), obtained a Silver Treasure Chest.]
Haha!
The second King Core is mine!
And a Silver Treasure Chest to boot!
Excellent! Excellent!
Qin Feng couldn’t contain his delight. He hurried forward and collected the King Core.
With this, he had now gathered two types of Cores for his exploration mission.
Three more remained to be found.
That being said, Village 911’s exploration mission was undoubtedly more challenging than that of any other village.
This was because the resources within Village 911’s territory had been multiplied several times over.
Consequently, the number of beasts surrounding each of the five King beasts had also increased exponentially.
As a result, Village 911’s exploration mission was several times more difficult than that of other villages, perhaps even ten times more challenging.
Nevertheless, Qin Feng remained confident in his abilities.
After securing the King’s Core, he turned his attention to the Silver Treasure Chest.
A Silver Treasure Chest!
Including this one, he now possessed thirteen Silver Treasure Chests. If word of this were to spread, it would surely incite envy in others.
The thought alone brought a smile to Qin Feng’s face.
He decided to finish clearing the battlefield before opening the chests.
With that in mind, he began clearing the battlefield.
It didn’t take long to finish.
He had already extracted the maximum amount from the soldier ants’ corpses; they held no further value.
Two Iron-Eating Generals!
One provided him with +3 Strength.
The other granted him a new talent—F-rank Tactile Enhancement. With this, only his sense of taste remained unawakened among his six senses.
Finally, the Ant Queen yielded a D-rank talent—Metal Manipulation.
His gains were plentiful.
Qin Feng was immensely satisfied.
He then retrieved the thirteen Silver Treasure Chests and the single Golden Treasure Chest, preparing to indulge in a feast of rewards.
Gazing upon the gleaming silver and gold before him, a wave of anticipation washed over him.
He picked up a Silver Treasure Chest, ready to unveil its contents.
[Notification: Liu Xuan has sent you a private chat request.]
“Huh! Liu Xuan is contacting me?”
Qin Feng’s interest was piqued. He quickly set aside the treasure chest and entered the private chat channel.
Upon entering, he saw Liu Xuan’s avatar flashing, relentlessly attempting to establish communication.
Qin Feng quickly accepted the request, and a message came through.
Liu Xuan: “Boss Qin Feng, I just killed a Level 7 mutated ferocious beast and it dropped a rather interesting item. I’d like to make a trade with you.”
At that moment, Liu Xuan was brimming with excitement.
He had just gone through a grueling battle and finally slayed the Level 7 mutated ferocious beast, the Golden-Furred Hou.
This victory had also allowed him to reach Level 7 and obtain a valuable treasure.
Fortune was clearly smiling upon him!
Qin Feng: “What is it you desire?”
Liu Xuan: “Boss Qin Feng, I saw in the trade channel that you have two Tier 2 pieces of equipment listed for sale. I’m interested in the Blood Wolf Warblade.”
Qin Feng: “Oh? And what do you offer in return?”
Liu Xuan: “This is the item I just acquired—Treasure Chest Synthesis Card. Take a look at this!”
In the next instant, he sent over an image and information regarding the ‘Treasure Chest Synthesis Card.’
The private chat channel had a function for displaying trans-temporal objects, specifically designed to facilitate barter-based trades.
Qin Feng quickly examined the information.
[Treasure Chest Synthesis Card: Tier 2 item, a divine card blessed by the Heavenly Dao. Using this card allows the synthesis of five lower-tier treasure chests into one of a higher tier!]
[Note: This synthesis card is only applicable to treasure chests below the Dark Gold tier.]
Holy crap~!
This card was incredible!
It could actually combine lower-tier treasure chests into a higher-tier one.
The only obstacle was the rarity of treasure chests themselves, so who could easily gather five of them?
This was precisely why Liu Xuan sought to trade it.
However, for Qin Feng, that posed no problem whatsoever.
He currently possessed thirteen Silver Treasure Chests!
If he could combine five silver chests into a Golden Treasure Chest, the rewards would be immense!
[Silver Treasure Chest: 98% chance of obtaining a Tier 3 item, 2% chance of obtaining a Tier 4 item.]
[Golden Treasure Chest: 98% chance of obtaining a Tier 4 item, 2% chance of obtaining a Tier 5 item.]
The comparison was stark; a single Golden Treasure Chest held far greater value than ten Silver Treasure Chests combined.
After all, silver chests offered only a minuscule chance of yielding Tier 4 items, while gold chests guaranteed at least one, with a possibility of even obtaining a Tier 5 item.
He had to have this synthesis card!
Qin Feng’s excitement grew with each passing thought.
Meanwhile, Liu Xuan was growing anxious due to Qin Feng’s silence.
Worried that Qin Feng might not be interested in the trade, he hastily added another condition.
Liu Xuan: “Boss Qin Feng, in addition to the synthesis card, I’ll also include the corpse of the Level 7 mutated ferocious beast, the Golden-Furred Hou. What do you say?”
Qin Feng: “Deal!”
Liu Xuan was overjoyed: “Thank you, Boss Qin Feng!”
Without delay, they initiated the trade and moments later, it was complete.
From the trade channel, Qin Feng retrieved a gleaming golden card. It featured a pentagram on the front and intricate divine runes etched across its back.
This was the Treasure Chest Synthesis Card!
With the card in hand, Qin Feng retrieved five Silver Treasure Chests and activated it.
Hum~!
In the next instant, the card rose into the air, emanating a brilliant white light.
A pentagram formation projected outwards from the card.
Whoosh~! Whoosh~! Whoosh~!
The five Silver Treasure Chests slowly levitated, drawn towards the formation as if guided by an invisible hand, settling into position at each of the five points.
Hum~!
The formation whirred into action and strands of light intertwined with increasing intensity!
The five treasure chests converged, merging into a single entity.
Moments later, the synthesis card vanished, the formation dissipating along with it.
A gleaming Golden Treasure Chest now hovered in mid-air.
[Notification: Treasure Chest Synthesis complete. Congratulations on obtaining a Golden Treasure Chest!]
Haha!
Success!
One card and five Silver Treasure Chests, combined into a Golden Treasure Chest!
This is truly an incredible gain!
Qin Feng joyfully caught the Golden Treasure Chest as it descended from the air……
