Chương 19: You’ve Awakened

Biên tập viên: EndlessFantasy Translation

Threadsnakes were actually not easy to kill. But no matter how strong they were, they were unable to evade Qin Feng's deadly accurate shots.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Qin Feng pressed firmly on the crossbow's trigger sending an arrow flying, piercing a viper in the head. 

The threadsnake struggled but soon slowed to a stop.

Qin Feng continued like an angry cannon, shooting out arrows with great speed and managing to kill another two more.

Xiao Jing quietly watched Qin Feng in awe and fear.

Qin Feng pulled out the dagger in his boots and tossed it to her.

"Take this, cut them up as I did just now, and collect the parts!"

"Mmm!" exclaimed Xiao Jing in embarrassment, seeing that the piece of steel that she used earlier was a joke. She grabbed the dagger and waited for the three snakes to stop twitching before dragging them to a pile and cutting them open.

Xiao Jing was one capable girl. Even though she had never killed snakes before, she was a good cook.

"These things are just our food. Nothing else, just food!" she coaxed herself, seeing the amount of blood on her hands.

Qin Feng looked at her in encouragement and nodded approvingly, then turned his attention towards the incoming danger.

"Chirp! Chirp!" Xiaobai called out again, an impending warning of something scary.

Again, it was more threadsnakes. Their eyes were murderous, provoked by the whiff of fresh blood of their kin. When the snakes spotted Qin Feng, they immediately jumped at him!

Even though Qin Feng was fast, he soon found himself surrounded by the serpents.

Checking his ammunition, he did not have many arrows left—only about thirty.

Gradually, there were more and more of them, and Qin Feng could not kill them fast enough with just a bow and a bunch of arrows.

"What should we do now, Qin Feng? Should we retreat?" Xiao Jing could barely keep up with the incoming loot. But she had already collected quite a lot at this point.

Qin Feng did not answer her and just threw the crossbow to the ground.

Right now, within his line of sight, there were eight threadsnakes.

Qin Feng's dantian had been strengthened; after a few days of cultivating, his inner force had increased by one thread. 

He had been cultivating the Asteroid Assimilation in the prescribed order by first absorbing heaven and earth spirit aura. The speed was also similar to an A-tier skillset. It was definitely not as fast as absorbing others' inner force.

Qin Feng threw out an invisible hand made of pure energy.

"Asteroid Assimilation Palm!"

The threadsnakes were pushed off the ground, lifted into the air by an invisible force.

This, however, was not the most crucial part, as the skill could also create a pulling force and repelling force at the same time. These two forces could be used to defeat a creature with ease.

Qin Feng swung his palm in a slapping motion, and eight threadsnakes were sucked off the ground. As the palm passed them by, all the threadsnakes exploded at the same time!

The entire ground was painted red in blood.

Xiao Jing was dumbfounded at the gruesome sight, not knowing how she should react.

As quickly as he could, Qin Feng absorbed the energy from the snakes, increasing his strength and speed by double.

"My absorption skill is going to be a benefit to this skill!" said a happy Qin Feng, sounding a lot more confident than he did.

As the skies darkened, no other snakes appeared to attack.

"Pack up and get ready to leave!" Qin Feng knew that this meant that the threadsnakes within a one-kilometer radius had been cleared.

Xiao Jing's face was glowing as she began to pack everything up.

They had roughly killed about 43 threadsnakes. With their skins stacked, it filled up Qin Feng's pockets, and his combat backpack was crammed with gallbladders and fangs. As for the meat, Qin Feng was not going to bring any of it back.

"This is your share!" Qin Feng gave Xiao Jing three snakes worth of materials.

She was taken aback for a moment but did not refuse him. "How much could these be exchanged for?"

Qin Feng calculated for a moment before concluding, "Around 10,000!"

At that, Xiao Jing's eyes widened like two golfballs!

That meant that if she tagged along with Qin Feng for eight days, she stood to earn up to 80,000!

"Are you coming tomorrow?" Xiao Jing suddenly realized that she was crude, but still, she asked anyway.

"Of course you are! We'll set up a tent in the plantation today. It'll be inconvenient to have to walk all the way back. Let's go!"

Qin Feng picked up the backpack filled with snake parts and carried a small combat backpack in his hand. Xiaobai jumped back inside and then kicked at the bottles, unhappily pouting itself away.

"Chirp! Chirp!" Xiaobei leaped out, looking annoyed and jumped onto Qin Feng's shoulder.

Seeing his buddy in distress, Qin Feng patted Xiaobai endearingly.

"Remember to go back inside later. We don't want other people to see you."

"Chirp!"

Qin Feng started to walk.

Xiao Jing looked at the bloody battlefield and called out, "Qin Feng! What about this meat? We're not taking them?"

"They're too heavy!" They were not even a team, and yet, they had managed to yield loot a large group would struggle to obtain. While other people had trouble of not having enough to go around themselves, Qin Feng had so much that he could not take them all.

Xiao Jing looked at all the meat. To her, she saw wasted profit! All these were money!

In the colony, low ranking people could not afford to eat high-quality gourmet like that. One single threadsnake could cost up to 2,000 Chinese currency, Xiao Jing's parents combined salary for one month.

Xiao Jing clenched her jaw and stuffed one big threadsnake into her own backpack, enough to fill up her large-ish backpack.

Then she picked up two more, which she draped around her neck, ignoring the blood and filth.

Surprisingly, Qin Feng did not warn her but instead allowed her to do as she pleased.

He walked ahead of her with ease as the things he carried were rather light. In less than 10 minutes, Xiao Jing's breathing had turned into an asthmatic wheeze, and the strength in her body was rapidly draining. 

But she did not complain. Huffing and puffing, she continued to soldier forward, never once asking Qin Feng for assistance.

After around fifteen minutes, she was starting to feel faint. Her muscles ached, and her stomach growled. She was all but hungry again. 

"Hang in there. Just a little bit longer," Xiao Jing said to herself, as she took a bite of the raw snake meat and swallowed. Thankfully, despite the putrid taste in her mouth, her stomach warmed up, and she felt energized.

Qin Wei stared at Xiao Jing, a little shocked.

He had not realized that her Ancient Warrior disposition had been awakened.

The awakening injections would awaken its user's constitutions by increasing physical strength, speed, and many other external characteristics.

The chances of this happening were much higher than the awakening of ability users, but also just as rare – about a 1 in 10 chance.

In his previous life, Qin Feng met Xiao Jing only once, and he did not understand her at that time. Right now, he had a rough idea of how Xiao Jing bottomed out.

"Eat more. Stay strong!" Qin Feng cut out a piece of meat with his dagger attempting to make it easier for her.

"I… I feel like I have so much more energy!" Xiao Jing was a little puzzled but persuaded by Qin Feng's gentle voice; she continued to chomp down on the snake. Taking in large bites and ignoring the disgusting raw taste and chewy texture of the reptile, her stomach absorbed all that energy like a bottomless pit.

"You've awakened!" Qin Feng smiled.

Chương 20: Bonding With Xiaobai

Biên tập viên: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xiao Jing's awakening was natural – derived from pure luck with no explanation whatsoever.

Zhou Hao was still training at home, and even with the G-tier strengthening potion, his constitution only increased by a little. It had not yet awakened into an Ancient Warrior's.

"I… I've awakened?"

Xiao Jing never imagined that her scrawny frame could lug around 60 kg of threadsnakes with ease.

"I've awakened. I really have… awakened," she cried as tears trickled down her overjoyed eyes.

Being awakened meant that she was confident that she could win more battles in the future.

"Let's go. It's getting dark!"

"Mm!"

The pair quickened their footsteps. Xiao Jing chewed on snake meat as she walked, replenishing and rejuvenating her as she went along. By the time they reached the assembly point, Xiao Jing was calm and completely relaxed.

When the soldier on duty saw the both of them, he was surprised, even more so when he saw Xiao Jing.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Jing raised her chin, deliberately slowing down as she walked, shifting the snake meat slung on her shoulder as if to show off.

After the initial shock had passed, the soldier gave her a small smile. He refrained from making any comments, whistling away as he turned his focus on the assembly. 

Xiao Jing scoffed, her efforts to impress fruitless.

Night was approaching, and most of the combatants had returned. Some, though, would be spending the night in the wilderness.

"Close the gate!"

"Yes, captain!"

"Gather round!"

Boots clattered as the soldiers shuffled into position.

"He's their captain?" Xiao Jing stared at the smug, nose-flaring soldier giving commands.

"Let's go!" Qin Feng called out to her, leading her to a purchasing station.

Because the snakes they killed were the on the list of special species that the colony had singled out, there was an additional reward of 1,000 yuan for each. That all added up to 40,000 yuan. Combined with the price of the materials, Qin Feng earned a total of 240,000 yuan.

In the previous life, Qin Feng had managed to achieve a Rank-A Ancient Warrior status. He would hunt and kill large animals, which quickly earned him a few billion yuan. Today's earnings were just small numbers to him, but to Xiao Jing, this was a brave, new, and exciting world.

Her three materials earned her a healthy 18,000 yuan, and after selling two slices of snake meat, she gained 4,000 more.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Qin Feng!"

"You've said enough thank yous for today!" Qin Feng found it a little awkward. He wanted to repay her kindness, but was instead left with her feeling indebted.

"Let me cook us something as payment for the opportunity you've given me," she said shyly. Xiao Jing was not the kind to make empty promises. She employed her culinary skills and cooked up a delicious meal of the snakemeat, one which Qin Feng could not stop praising after he had a bite.

Additionally, Xiao Jing even got a bowl of warm snakemeat to bribe the captain in the hopes he would lend them a vehicle. As long as they did not lose it, they did not need to spend a single penny on transports. 

Of course, no one would dare steal an army vehicle!

Qin Feng secretly found himself impressed by Xiao Jing's streetwise stint!

Night had fallen, and the plantations were done for the day. As the peasants left for home, the buzzing of machinery had been replaced with a session of intense bragging by soldiers over their combat skills. Some complained about their yield today, whereas some of the teams were awfully quiet. These ones had clearly lost a lot in today's fight.

The soldiers did not rest but continued their training and went about their drills. Upon seeing the activity, Xiao Jing joined in with excitement.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, rested in the tent. Well, he said he was going to rest, but in reality, he secretly wanted to meditate and cultivate the Asteroid Assimilation skill.

Before that could happen, though, there was something else he needed to do first.

Xiaobai was jumping around inside the rather small tent, intrigued by everything in its new surroundings.

"Xiaobai! Stop moving around!" scolded Qin Feng as he gently held onto Xiaobai.

The creature looked at Qin Feng with quizzical glassy eyes.

Qin Feng looked a little hesitant. He wanted to wait until Xiaobai was a little older and stronger before the bond, but Xiaobai's skills had him thinking that it was better to get it done now.

Space ability was not one of the top ten abilities. It was too arcane, the root of all destruction, yet gave people a mysterious and mythical hope!

"You'll be following me next time. I won't treat you as a slave. We are partners forever!"

In the previous life, by a freak combination of events, Xiaobai saved Qin Feng's life. He was not about to let the loyal beast sacrifice its life for him again. As long as he was alive, he vowed to himself that he would never abandon Xiaobai.

All that backstabbing would not distort him nor make him cynical and embittered. 

He was not a saint; neither was he a cold-blooded man.

"Please. Don't refuse. I won't hurt you!"

Qin Feng bit his tongue, which sent a sharp pain shooting through his mouth. Then he focused his consciousness, and soon, the blood floated subconsciously towards Xiaobai.

Xiaobai stared curiously at the blood, cocking its head to one side.

The drop of blood was drawing closer Xiaobai followed it with its eyes. This caused its eyes to cross each other, making it look more adorable than ever!

The cross-eyed creature nearly made Qin Feng laugh out loud.

The blood entered through Xiaobai's brows, and Qin Feng could sense that he had made contact with Xiaobai's soul.

Then, from the head, the drop of blood descended, entering its soul, thereby forming a bond.

Xiaobai made no protests throughout the entire process. It behaved exceptionally well. Thankfully.

Perhaps, it somehow knew that Qin Feng would never hurt it.

Once the bond was completed, Qin Feng felt a great understanding of Xiaobai flood through his heart.

He was also relieved to find out that Xiaobai was not a dog, but an obscure species of fox called a silver fox.

It had the solid bloodline of a nine-tailed fox. What's more, being a silver fox meant that it was extremely rare and could control space.

Qin Feng could also sense that Xiaobai had its own little private space measuring one square meter. The compartment was very stable and could store items. It was in all another way, a personal space receptacle.

Having that space increased Xiaobai's value exponentially, and if people knew about this, they would, without a doubt, fight over it.

"Next time, try not to use your space ability. You're still young. You have to protect yourself!"

Qin Feng nudged Xiaobai's forehead. Perhaps it was because of the bond that Xiaobai's dependence on Qin Feng became even more prominent. Qin Feng could also sense a part of Xiaobai's thoughts and feelings.

"Chirp!" Xiaobai answered. Everything was strange and new to it, and therefore, Qin Feng's words were teachings that it would never violate.

Qin Feng ruffled its fur and then sat down with crossed legs. Getting in a lotus position, he started cultivating his meditation and Asteroid Assimilation.

In the following days, Qin Feng and Xiao Jing went hunting. Because Xiao Jing's abilities had been awakened, she was no longer just collecting materials, but also joining the fight.

Even though they were in constant danger, Xiao Jing had proven herself capable of handling sticky situations. For that, she nearly had a hole punctured through her calf and earned herself more than a few scratches and bruises.

Those injuries, however, were nothing for in a matter of days, Xiao Jing had managed to accumulate upwards of 80,000 yuan. She did not keep the money but instead exchanged for a combat suit and a sword. Even though she still did not have the support of an Ancient Warrior's inner force, she was undoubtedly ferocious and brave.

Many people in the plantations were envious of Qin Feng's and Xiao Jing's grand yields. But after seeing how the both of them fought on the battlefield, they acknowledged defeat and stepped aside in the face of superior strength.

Those two fought with their lives.

Of course, what those people did not know was that to Qin Feng, that was all just child's play.
