Chapter 44 – Startling Mission Orders
After exiting the Chat Channel, Qin Feng continued to hunt ferocious beasts. He looked ahead at the vast grasslands stretching before him.
Activating his visual, olfactory, and auditory talents, he swiftly headed deeper into the grasslands. He needed to find new ferocious beasts as quickly as possible.
Hunting ferocious beasts meant leveling up. This lush grassland should be even more suitable for ferocious beasts to thrive in than the Bone Burial Wasteland, which was why he had come here.
Sure enough, after fifteen minutes, he noticed something unusual.
At that moment, he looked ahead cautiously at a mound. His exceptional hearing had already picked up faint, mysterious sounds coming from beneath that mound.
There must be a ferocious beast hiding underneath!
With this thought in mind, he tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword.
In this perilous Level 10 ferocious beast territory where even ferocious beasts exceeding Level 10 could appear, who could predict what formidable creatures might appear next?
Therefore, he couldn’t afford to be careless.
Just as this idea took root, a sudden change occurred up ahead.
Boom!
There was an explosion!
The grassy ground in front of him erupted, and dust filled the air.
A colossal stone giant, eight zhang tall, emerged from the ground. Its eyes were crimson, and its body was made of gray rocks, emanating an astonishing aura.
At that moment, it stared coldly at Qin Feng, its eyes filled with disdain.
In fact, it had noticed Qin Feng long ago, waiting for this human to pass by the mound so it could ambush him.
However, it hadn’t anticipated that this human would be so alert, detecting it ahead of time.
[Ferocious beast]: Grassland Stone Giant (Mutated Grade)
[Level]: 11
[Combat Evaluation]: 18 Star
[Traits]: Rampage, Bloodthirst, Territory Guardian
[Talent]: Earth Manipulation (D-rank)
[Skills]: ?????
[Drop Rate]: 11%
Huh!
It’s an Level 11 mutated-rank ferocious beast!
And the skills are still unknown!
Oh my god!
Combat power evaluation of 18 Star!
That was much stronger than the 15 Star Hellish Two-Headed Hound!
Furthermore, this ferocious beast actually possessed a D-rank talent.
In the entire newbie village, there were only a dozen or so humans who had D-rank talents.
This was the first time he had seen a ferocious beast with a D-rank talent.
The higher the talent, the stronger the power!
Qin Feng took a deep breath, not daring to be careless. In this world filled with slaughter, exercising caution was never wrong.
After all, you only have one life!
Roar!
With a low roar, the stone giant made the first move. It swung its hand, hurling a round stone the size of a head directly at Qin Feng, like a cannonball, fast and fierce.
Qin Feng quickly dodged with a flash of his body.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind whistled by. The round stone grazed Qin Feng’s shoulder and hit the ground behind him.
Boom!
The round stone created a large crater in the ground upon impact, shattering into flying debris and raising a terrifying dust cloud.
If it had hit, even a Level 10 expert would have been injured.
Huh!
This Level 7 human had such quick reflexes, he actually avoided it.
I’m afraid many Level 10 humans wouldn’t be able to match him!
The stone giant was slightly surprised. Afterward, it waved its hand again, and another stone was launched at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng dodged once more.
Swish!
The round stone flew past him closely.
But before he could catch his breath, the stone giant threw another round stone …
In this way, it continuously waved its hands, launching one round stone after another, like cannonballs, bombarding Qin Feng.
Fuck!
This ferocious beast is a ranged attacker!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In the blink of an eye, the stone giant had launched over a dozen round stones.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Qin Feng’s figure flickered, evading each stone skillfully.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At that moment, the round stones fell short, creating a chaotic scene of exploding earth and flying dust in the field.
At that moment, Qin Feng secretly counted his blessings.
Thankfully, he had Shadow Boots, which increased his movement speed.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to avoid them all.
But continuing this way was not a solution.
He needed to get closer to the stone giant to defeat it and couldn’t keep taking its attacks.
Otherwise, he’d eventually make a mistake and get hit.
With this in mind, he dashed towards the stone giant.
They were only a dozen meters apart, but with Qin Feng’s speed, he closed the gap like a phantom.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
He rapidly zigzagged, closing the distance between him and the stone giant.
Boom!
It was at this moment that the stone giant stomped its foot, shaking the earth.
Qin Feng was instantly alert, thanks to his exceptional hearing. He heard something rapidly approaching from beneath the ground, just three feet below him.
Instinctively, he shifted to the side.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, a long, sharp stone spike shot out from the ground, narrowly missing him.
This ferocious beast can even use ground spike skills for ambushes!
The stone giant was also surprised. It hadn’t expected Qin Feng to evade it.
In this moment of surprise, Qin Feng struck.
Swish!
A cold light flashed as his blade plunged into the stone giant’s heart.
Crack!
Splash!
The blade plunged deep!
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. But the next moment, he realized something was wrong.
The stone giant not only didn’t collapse but looked at him with a sneer.
Then, it conjured a palm strike.
With overwhelming force, it aimed straight for Qin Feng’s head.
In its eyes, a hint of mockery could be seen, as if it believed that in the next moment, it would turn Qin Feng into a pulp.
“Damn it!”
Qin Feng was taken aback, and with a swift movement, he drew his long sword, but he couldn’t evade the incoming strike in time.
In the critical moment, he held the sword horizontally!
A collision between the palm and the blade occurred instantly.
Boom!
A deafening roar!
The stone giant’s colossal strength sent Qin Feng flying.
In the next second, Qin Feng somersaulted and landed firmly on the ground.
Huh!
This human wasn’t harmed at all!
The stone giant was greatly shocked!
Its strength was enough to kill a Level 10 human with a single palm strike, yet this human had blocked it.
Qin Feng was also looking at the stone giant with amazement.
At this moment, he clearly saw the wound on the stone giant’s heart rapidly healing at a visible rate, returning to its original state in the blink of an eye.
What!?
So, this stone giant’s body had inherent regenerative abilities.
What’s more, its vital spot wasn’t even in the heart area.
That meant his previous attack had been completely in vain.
Thinking about it, the stone giant was just a ferocious beast, not a creature of flesh and blood. It probably didn’t even have a heart.
He had wrongly assumed its weakness based on the characteristics of living organisms.
So, how should he deal with this stone giant?
Qin Feng contemplated this.
The stone giant also looked at him with a solemn expression.
This human’s strength was too terrifying, something it had never encountered before in its life.
Just then, Qin Feng’s eyes lit up as he seemed to have thought of a way to deal with the stone giant.
Without hesitation, he dashed towards the stone giant once more.
Roar!
The stone giant roared, waving its hands repeatedly, and fired one round stone bomb after another at him.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Qin Feng’s figure flickered, closing the distance to the stone giant in an instant.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At that moment, three stone spikes erupted from the ground.
Qin Feng had prepared for this. He used his keen hearing to determine their positions and expertly avoided them all.
Whoosh!
The stone giant’s massive palm also struck down wildly.
Qin Feng sidestepped, avoiding the palm.
Bang!
The palm struck the ground, causing it to crack and sending dust flying.
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Feng swiftly moved, stepping onto the stone giant’s arm.
With a powerful leap, he soared more than five zhang high (over 15 meters) and reached the stone giant’s chest.
Before the stone giant could react, he slashed horizontally with his blade.
Swish!
A blade light flashed through the air, cutting across the stone giant’s neck.
Crack!
The gigantic head of the stone giant rolled down from its neck.
Boom!
The body of the stone giant collapsed with a deafening roar, turning into a pile of rubble.
He had slain it, finally!
As soon as Qin Feng landed, a dazzling white light flew out from the rubble and entered his body, spreading a warm sensation throughout him …
[You have successfully killed a Level 11 Grassland Stone Giant (Mutant). You’ve gained +1400 energy points.]
[You are the first to kill a Level 11 Grassland Stone Giant (Mutant), gaining +3 prestige points.]
Haha!
1400 energy points!
And 3 prestige points!
Qin Feng was ecstatic!
[You have successfully killed a Level 11 Grassland Stone Giant (Mutant), and obtained a C-rank mission token.]
Huh!
He got it!
But what was a mission token?
Curious, Qin Feng quickly checked it …
