Swallowing the Starry Sky: Qin Feng

At eight o'clock the next morning, Qin Feng changed into the new Seven-Element combat suit he had bought the day before, carried a new Seven-Element battle sword and a combat backpack for concealment, and walked alone toward the airport.

The flight from Jiangnan Base City to Zhongyuan Base City takes about an hour, which isn't far, but the plane is too crowded.

Because of the high risks of aircraft in the base city era, which could be attacked by flying monsters at any time, every flight was very expensive. Therefore, the space on the aircraft was minimized as much as possible. Even the business class that Qin Feng was traveling in had very little space, but the ticket price was extremely expensive.

It was a bit pricey, but the journey was relatively safe, and nothing unexpected happened.

We arrived smoothly at the Zhongyuan Base City Airport, followed the flow of people out of the airport terminal, looked around at the surrounding environment, and did not linger for long.

I hailed a taxi on the roadside and went straight to the train station, where I boarded the train and headed straight for the Western Military Region.

The biggest difference between Zhongyuan Base City and Jiangnan Base City is that this place is not near the sea. If the biggest source of danger in Jiangnan Base City is the ferocious beasts of the sea, then the biggest source of danger here is the ferocious beasts of the Shennongjia primeval forest. The Western Military Region has deployed its defenses in the area near XY City, close to the Great Nirvana.

Although it was his first time in this military region, the environment was similar to that in Jiangnan: serious and focused soldiers, rows of laser cannons on the city walls, and free martial artists coming and going. It was not uncommon to see people like Qin Feng venturing out alone, so his arrival did not attract any attention.

There is also a martial arts supply base here, which provides food and lodging for free martial artists who go out to hunt ferocious beasts.

However, Qin Feng had already prepared enough supplies in his world ring, and the backpack on his back was empty to avoid attracting attention, so there was no need for him to resupply.

There was no one he knew here, so there was no need to linger. He strode straight toward the military district gate.

Not far from the military region gate is the highway leading to City 057 (formerly XY City). City 057 holds a similar position here as City 003 (formerly SH City) in the Jiangnan Base City area.

Just as there, where activities could be disrupted by hordes of sea monsters, the same applies here. City 057, being the closest edge city to the Shennongjia primeval forest, is also constantly threatened by hordes of jungle monsters.

Those who lack the strength to go there are basically just throwing their lives away. Qin Feng is not only going to City 057, but also directly to the primeval jungle. This is not much different from rushing into the ocean to kill monsters in the Jiangnan Base City.

If Qin Feng hadn't had the World Ring to hide in, he wouldn't have dared to be so reckless.

If conditions allowed, he wouldn't want to either!

But he had to indulge in this lifestyle because he was running out of time. It was already 2060, and the ultimate battle of geniuses in the universe would begin in six years.

To compete with those geniuses, one must at least have entered the lower-level laws to qualify. Qin Feng hasn't even reached the planetary level yet. Even with his cheat ability, he doesn't have much confidence in breaking through to the constant level and crossing the threshold of the origin laws within six years. After all, the time is too short, so he's feeling a bit anxious right now.

After driving for a while on the highway and finding no one around, Qin Feng began to mentally call for the monkey.

"Monkey King"

"What's wrong, Qin Feng?"

"I'll pause my weapon-refining research for a while. I'm heading into the wilderness now and need to use the detection function."

"That's easy. I don't even need to do it myself. I just need to create a separate entity."

"Alright, you can use the detection function normally now. Be careful on your own. I'm going to continue my research on weapon crafting."

Qin Feng gave a command to the Origin Pearl in his sea of ​​consciousness to activate the scanning function.

The seven-colored pearl in his sea of ​​consciousness trembled, and in an instant, Qin Feng seemed to have opened a god's-eye view. A 360-degree panoramic view within a radius of ten kilometers appeared in his eyes with perfect clarity.

Yes, in the eyes.

There was no sense of relying on any external aids; it was as if his eyes could naturally see 360 ​​degrees, and see extremely far and clearly.

This feels so good, but why does it feel like I've wandered into the wrong movie set? Could it be that I'm cosplaying the Byakugan from Naruto next door?

No no no, this feels way more awesome than rolling your eyes. At least your vision isn't black and white, and you can see much farther than him.

Moreover, its functions are very powerful. Qin Feng looked down at the ground and could even see the faint life fluctuations of the insects hidden in the soil, not to mention the dense humanoid energy fluctuations in the military region behind him.

Even through a city wall tens of meters thick, the line of sight can penetrate. If you don't focus your gaze, all you see are clusters of humanoid energy outlines. But once you lock onto a target, it's like zooming in, clearly showing the target's appearance and strength.

This thing is a bit overpowered! It has a wide range, farsightedness, and X-ray vision, and it can continue to get stronger as the orb is repaired. Will it be able to see everything around it from hundreds of thousands of light-years away when it's adventuring in the universe? Then it will be impossible for someone to ambush it.

Goodness, if they really become that awesome in the future, then innate talents and secret techniques will be utterly weak.

Excited, Qin Feng looked around as if he were in the wilderness for the first time, finding everything new and fascinating.

This excitement lasted until we reached the edge of city 057, gazing at the city that still vaguely resembled its former self, our eyes sweeping over the dilapidated buildings.

Almost every building has some monsters lurking around, but they aren't particularly strong.

These are all beast-soldier level monsters; it's rare to even see a beast-general level one. This is the very edge of the city, a gathering place for miscellaneous soldiers.

Qin Feng had no intention of hunting these monsters. He always remembered that his goal this time was to cross the city and enter the primeval jungle. There was no need to waste time on these low-level monsters that had little value.

After spending some time scanning all the houses in front of him, he planned a route with fewer and weaker monsters, ignoring the roars of the beasts all around him and starting to move forward.

He drew his long sword from his back and moved forward quickly, using the surrounding houses as cover. He would casually kill any low-level monsters he couldn't avoid with a single strike, without collecting any monster materials. If it weren't for the occasional monster corpses he saw along the way, he could be said to have passed through here without making a sound.

After marching for more than two hours, Qin Feng stopped in front of a dilapidated residential area. At this point, he faced a choice: either take a detour or cross the residential area.

Taking a detour wouldn't be much farther, but there are just as many monsters over there. Crossing the road would save some time, but this road is right in the middle of the neighborhood, so we might get surrounded by monsters from both sides.

Even if you avoid the main roads and instead try to sneak through the alleys, you still can't get past the monsters without alerting them. The monsters in this neighborhood are too numerous.

Furthermore, the detection revealed that there was a Tyrannosaurus Rex, a lord-level tiger monster, inside. This situation is the most troublesome. The reason why lord-level monsters are difficult to hunt in the wild is that their intelligence is no less than that of ordinary people, and they know how to recruit followers.

To kill a lord-level monster in the wild, you have to face hundreds or thousands of monsters at the same time.

Moreover, these monsters are organized and disciplined, so even a War God-level expert would find it difficult to kill a Lord-level monster of the same level.

After hesitating for a few minutes, he carefully surveyed the surrounding area. No matter which path he took, he would have to pass through the territory of a lord-level monster. Unless he was willing to spend more time taking a long detour, Qin Feng could not accept that.

Then I have no choice but to give it a shot. Anyway, it's just a low-level lord. I'm not weaker than it even if I go all out. I'm just afraid of being surrounded and losing energy. If I get surrounded and run out of energy, I'll just hide in the world ring, rest, and then come out and keep fighting them. Let's see who can outlast whom.

After planning a route that would be relatively difficult to spot, Qin Feng resolutely stepped into the residential area. He concealed his aura along the way, walking close to the wall and lifting his legs lightly to avoid making a sound.

Along the way, the roars of monsters playing and the snoring of sleeping monsters rose and fell.

Several times as he passed close to the wall, he saw several monsters sleeping just a wall away, and their snoring, which seemed to echo in his ears, made Qin Feng's scalp tingle.

At that moment, you really had to hold your breath. Some monsters have an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and they can detect your scent if you're not careful.

While moving cautiously and continuously, they used the detection function to observe the movements of the monsters around them, predict their movements, and avoid them in advance.

They managed to cross most of the neighborhood without being discovered, but the most difficult hurdle was yet to come.

Ahead was a small park, and in the middle of a grassy lawn was a dilapidated little square where a striped tiger, about 20 meters long, was lying in the sun.

If Qin Feng wanted to get through, he would have to pass through either side of the park and explore the surrounding environment. There were many alleys behind the buildings that could be used to detour, but this was the core area of ​​the beast horde, and the monsters were too densely packed. It would be easier to be discovered by going through the alleys.

There was no other way but to walk along the edge of the park.

Qin Feng bent down and walked to the edge of the park where the green belt had grown wildly due to years of neglect. Using the nearly one-meter-high green belt as cover, he quietly moved forward, keeping a close eye on the reaction of the lord-level monster in the center of the square as he went.

Silently chant to yourself, "Faster, faster."

And so, in no time at all, they arrived at the square next to the park, which was also the closest place to the monster.

Hold your breath and slow your heartbeat. If you can get through this, you'll have a chance to escape even if the monster realizes what's happening.

However, the wilderness is always full of surprises. Because Qin Feng focused most of his attention on the lord-level monster, he subconsciously relaxed his monitoring of the dense herd of beasts around him.

At this moment, in a small alley behind Qin Feng, a shadow cat with a body as black as ink was lazily yawning and walking out of the alley. Its emerald green eyes were like two will-o'-the-wisps in the somewhat gloomy alley, green and eerie.

As a monster mutated from a feline, it moves silently without making a sound.

As Shadow Cat stepped out of the alley and into the sunlight, intending to lie down and bask in the sun, she froze when she saw the figure ahead, its rear end sticking out, moving quickly forward. A hint of fierce killing intent immediately flashed in her emerald green eyes.

However, as one of the smaller monsters, Shadow Cats are not particularly outstanding in direct combat among monsters of the same level; they are better at assassination and sneak attacks.

Just as Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief after passing the section of road closest to the Lord-level monster, a sudden chill ran down his spine. His instincts, honed from years of fighting in the wilderness, made his body react even before his brain. He rolled to the side and turned to look behind him, where a Shadow Cat of the Warrior-level had appeared.

Damn! I was careless.

I didn't even realize when that beast had touched me from behind; I almost died.

Qin Feng, regaining his senses, broke out in a cold sweat, his heart surging with killing intent. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and swung his blade, beheading a low-level beast general-level shadow cat before it could even touch Qin Feng's shadow. But then, a troublesome big guy arrived.

Roar

A deafening roar reached Qin Feng's ears, followed by a gust of foul wind.

This time, Qin Feng was prepared and used his perfect movement technique to dodge the attack of the lord-level monster.

Roar

After another roar, roars echoed from the surrounding buildings and alleys, forming a continuous chorus of roars that resembled a surging wave, sending chills down one's spine.

Hearing the increasingly close commotion around him, and seeing the heavy hoofbeats of the monsters approaching rapidly, Qin Feng's heart sank.

He looked at the Tyrannosaurus Rex in front of him, which had not attacked again after he dodged its first pounce.

It is over 20 meters long and over ten meters tall, with dense markings on its body, and two thick, sharp teeth that resemble two upside-down scythes.

He lowered his body slightly, his eyes fixed on Qin Feng, ready to strike at any moment.

Qin Feng knew that this guy was just putting on an act. He was a seasoned veteran of the wilderness and knew this kind of trick best.

These monsters are no less intelligent than humans; they won't fight desperately until they determine their own level of danger.

A leader of a pack like this usually orders its underlings to wear down its opponent's stamina first, and only when it is certain that it can defeat its opponent without taking damage will it personally enter the fray.

Now it's just waiting for its underlings to come and complete the encirclement.

But Qin Feng wouldn't give him the chance. After frowning and thinking for a moment, he didn't hesitate to draw his sword and attack.

To catch the thief, first catch the king. Rather than waiting to be surrounded by those monsters and wasting our energy, it's better to strike first.

When he unleashes his full power, he is no weaker than this Tyrannosaurus Rex. The best course of action is to keep him in front of him and prevent him from hiding among the other beasts.

If the two of them were to fight, anyone weaker than them would be completely unable to intervene.

If we can kill this lord directly, then even if we are surrounded, we will still have a chance to break out.

The wind howled, and the gleaming longsword transformed into a silver light, accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart, heading straight for the Tyrannosaurus Rex's throat. The enormous Tyrannosaurus Rex, with a speed disproportionate to its size, raised its front paws and pounced on Qin Feng without showing any weakness.

With a loud bang, the blade and claws collided, the air exploded, and due to the difference in size, Qin Feng was slid backward for more than ten meters before stopping.

With a single step, Qin Feng charged forward again, sword raised. This time, having learned his lesson, he did not engage in a head-on confrontation with an opponent of such vastly different size.

Instead, it unleashed its strongest speed and ran straight to the blind spot under the Tyrannosaurus Rex's belly, grabbing one of its legs and slashing it fiercely.

Roar!

With a painful roar, the Tyrannosaurus Rex turned its head to bite its own belly, but Qin Feng was no less fast. Before being bitten, he had already darted to its hind legs and switched to the other leg to continue slashing.

Another leg injury drove Tyrannosaurus Rex into a frenzy; it kicked wildly and jumped left and right.

Qin Feng used perfect footwork to dodge the tiger's wildly kicking and stomping paws, while following its footsteps like a ghost. No matter where it jumped, Qin Feng hid under its belly and didn't come out, but just kept slashing at its four legs.

At this moment, the surrounding beasts were dumbfounded, unsure whether they should go up and help.

According to their previous fighting style, it should have been the underlings who went first, but now that human has crawled under the boss's belly, are they going to crawl in and fight too?

Look how fiercely they're fighting, and how excited the leader is jumping around, he might get accidentally stepped on and killed!

A group of monster minions hesitated there, not daring to go forward.

At this moment, Qin Feng had no time to care about his surroundings. He only felt that the weapon in his hand was really trash. Underneath the beast's fur was a layer of scales with extremely high defense. Although he had slashed so many times and each slash drew blood, he hadn't even managed to break off a leg.

We can't keep going like this; if we keep pushing ourselves like this, our physical strength will give out first.

Damn it, let's give it our all. The scales on your legs can help you absorb some of the force so I can't seriously injure you. I don't believe your stomach can withstand it either.

Qin Feng leaped up suddenly, using the powerful hind legs of the Tyrannosaurus Rex as leverage to run upwards. In the blink of an eye, he reached the base of the hind legs and looked at the lumps of something swinging around with the Tyrannosaurus Rex. A cruel smile appeared on his lips.

Today, I'll be a good Samaritan for free and help you, you beast, get rid of all your troubles. You're welcome.

With his left hand gripping the tiger skin tightly to stabilize his body, he swung his long sword with a swift motion at the swaying object.

Hey!

A mournful howl rang out, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which had been lively and energetic despite its four injured legs, suddenly collapsed to the ground with a thud, convulsing and howling incessantly. Qin Feng immediately seized the opportunity, ignoring the fact that he was covered in blood, and once again swung his knife along the wound, plunging it into the Tyrannosaurus Rex's stomach and slashing forward. The Tyrannosaurus Rex, already covered in blood, was once again drenched in blood.

Ugh…

A weak sob came, this time without any domineering power, only pain and despair.

Qin Feng, panting and covered in blood, stood beside the Tyrant Tiger with a murderous aura. In an instant, the hundreds of monsters that had unknowingly surrounded him were so intimidated that they dared not move.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Feng, having caught his breath, looked at the Tyrant Tiger's chest, which was gradually ceasing to rise and fall, and with a wave of his hand, took it into his world.

The surrounding beasts, seeing Qin Feng use methods they had never seen before to dispose of their leader's corpse, stirred and bared their fangs. Led by several high-ranking beast generals, they circled around him, searching for any openings, ready to bite him the moment he relaxed.

Hey!

"A bunch of beasts. I've already taken over your leader, so I'll take this opportunity to slaughter you all as well."
