Global Killing: Starting with an SSS-level Talent - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 – Shocked! Lone Powerhouse!

At that moment, a middle-aged man in the crowd became excited.

“That’s great! Lei Jue Leveled up! It will be easier for us to avenge Chen Jun.”

“Old Wang, what exactly happened to Chen Jun?”

“Well, here’s what happened. Chen Jun and I were exploring together. As soon as we arrived at that small grove, we encountered two Venomous Nine-Ring Snakes head-on. We immediately realized the danger and turned to escape. Unfortunately, Chen Jun was slow and was caught up by one of the giant snakes. It swallowed him in one bite. I awakened the speed talent and managed to lead the other snake away and escape to this place. Fortunately, you also arrived, and together we killed this snake … Ah! It’s really … really terrifying here!”

Speaking up to this point, the middle-aged man had a frightened expression on his face.

Lei Jue listened quietly, his expression serious.

In just a few hours, he had established absolute authority within this group of newcomers and was respected as the leader by everyone.

Even though the middle-aged man was ten years older than him, he still had to address him as “Lei Lao Da” (Big Brother Lei).

“Let’s go! We’ll avenge Chen Jun! Old Wang, lead the way!” Lei Jue said calmly.

“Big Brother Lei, follow me!”

Old Wang quickly stepped forward to lead the way.

Immediately, the group of people approached Qin Feng’s hiding place …

Having eavesdropped on this, Qin Feng also understood one thing. The person who was devoured by the poisonous Nine-Ring Snake that he had killed earlier should be Chen Jun mentioned by Old Wang.

Just then, Lei Jue and his group approached. Qin Feng quickly held his breath and crouched down in the thicket, carefully concealing himself. He planned to wait for these people to leave before approaching the snake’s corpse.

But as the group passed by the spot where Qin Feng was hiding, a beautiful girl wearing blue jeans suddenly turned her head and looked towards his hiding place.

“Who’s there?!” The beautiful girl, named Liu Yan, was now staring at the thicket ahead with a vigilant expression. It turned out that she had an auditory talent. The distance between the two parties was less than ten meters, and she heard Qin Feng’s heartbeat. Her startled reaction surprised everyone, and they all looked towards Qin Feng’s hiding place.

“Who’s there?”

“Come out!”

People became alert one after another. In this perilous world, one’s life could be lost at any moment, and no one dared to be careless.

Qin Feng sighed helplessly and reluctantly stood up. However, he wasn’t worried at all. Even if Lei Jue and his group of seven joined forces, they were no match for him.

“It’s you!” Liu Yan looked at Qin Feng with some surprise, as if she recognized him.

Qin Feng was slightly taken aback. He didn’t seem to know this woman.

“Liu Yan, do you know him?” Old Wang casually asked.

Liu Yan was taken aback, then realized something, and her pretty face blushed slightly. She didn’t actually know Qin Feng, but in the chat channel, there were avatars and names for each person.

In this Newbie Village which housed a thousand people, most of them had unconventional looks, and there were only a few handsome ones. Qin Feng was one of them.

Liu Yan, being somewhat concerned with appearance, took notice and naturally remembered Qin Feng. However, she didn’t expect to encounter Qin Feng here. But, she couldn’t just say that she remembered him because he was good-looking.

“Um … I saw his avatar in the chat channel, so I remembered him. This person is called Qin Feng.” Liu Yan pretended to be calm.

Then she looked at Qin Feng again and asked, “Qin Feng, how did you end up here?”

“Just passing by!” Qin Feng said indifferently.

Liu Yan sighed. “The wilderness is very dangerous. It’s easy to get into trouble if you wander around alone. Not long ago, we had a teammate who had an accident.” As she said this, she seemed to remember something and turned to look at Lei Jue.

“Big Brother Lei, why don’t we let Qin Feng join us? It’s quite pitiful and dangerous for him to wander around alone.”

Old Wang also chimed in, “Big Brother Lei, Chen Jun had an accident, and we’re missing one person. Why not let Qin Feng join us? It’s a good opportunity to increase our attacking power.”

Hearing this, Lei Jue nodded slightly. There was a significant gap in strength between humans in the early stages and the ferocious beasts. Humans of the same Level were no match for ferocious beasts, so cooperation was an inevitable trend. Various sizes of forces would undoubtedly emerge in the future. If he wanted to expand his influence, he needed to build his own force and attract more people to join him.

Understanding this, Lei Jue looked at Qin Feng.

“Qin Feng, show us your attributes and talents. As long as they’re not too bad, I’ll accept you.”

Lei Jue said indifferently, with a somewhat condescending tone.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yan’s face lit up with joy. “Qin Feng, quickly show your personal information to Big Brother Lei!”

Old Wang added, “Qin Feng, our Big Brother Lei is a Level 2 powerhouse. It’s your lucky day to be able to team up with us.”

With those words, everyone smiled.

In their eyes, as long as Qin Feng heard that Lei Jue was already a Level 2 powerhouse, he would definitely join them.

However, to their surprise, Qin Feng calmly said, “No need, I prefer to be alone.”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

This stunned everyone.

Did they hear it correctly?

This guy actually rejected Big Brother Lei’s offer. Didn’t he know that Big Brother Lei was not only a Level 2 powerhouse but also possessed a powerful D-Level talent?

For a moment, everyone’s minds were a bit unable to comprehend. Lei Jue was also stunned.

He looked at Qin Feng’s back with a tinge of regret.

“Let’s go, no need to force it!”

Lei Jue said those words and took the lead to leave.

Everyone followed suit, muttering incessantly. They found it difficult to understand Qin Feng’s actions.

“Ah! This person is really …”

Liu Yan looked at Qin Feng’s back, stomped her foot in annoyance, and followed the others as they left … Not long after, Lei Jue and his group had gone far away.

Seeing this, Qin Feng quietly returned.

He didn’t want to team up with these people. It would not only expose his trump cards but also hinder his progress.

Soon, he arrived at the snake corpse and began extracting …

[Infinite Extraction Successful! Obtained 2 points of Energy attribute!]

His energy increased again! Qin Feng was delighted.

In this way, he had extracted every Level 1 ferocious beast in the Novice Plain, and there was no need to leave any behind.

Right away, he headed towards the end of the Novice Plain. He wanted to find new ferocious beasts ….

Just as Qin Feng left, on the other side, cries of astonishment came from Lei Jue and the others.

At that moment, in the small grove.

Lei Jue and his group saw the giant snake that Qin Feng had opened up, and they were shocked on the spot …

A strong smell of blood filled the air, the snake’s entrails were strewn on the ground, and next to it lay the corpse of a human, which was Chen Jun’s.

Everyone stood stunned for a while before someone spoke up.

“Judging by the dryness of the blood at the scene, this snake died earlier than the one we killed.”

The speaker was a bespectacled young man named Qi Jie. Before coming to this world, he was a student at a prestigious university, and he loved reading Conan novels in his spare time.

[TN:- “Conan” refers to the popular detective manga and anime series called “Detective Conan” (also known as “Case Closed”). It revolves around a high school detective named Shinichi Kudo, who, after being transformed into a child, adopts the pseudonym Conan Edogawa and solves various criminal cases while trying to find a way to restore his original body.]

“Qi Jie, are you saying that the other party killed faster than us and was stronger than us?”

“Yes!”

Qi Jie nodded slightly and walked forward to examine the snake’s corpse.

After a moment, he looked shocked.

Lei Jue hurriedly asked, “Qi Jie, what’s the matter?”

Qi Jie raised his head. “Big Brother Lei, if my analysis is correct, all of this should have been done by one person because there’s only one set of footprints at the scene. And looking at the snake’s injuries, it was cut directly through the seven-inch vital spot, which instantly killed it!”

As those words came out, everyone was shocked.

“Oh my god! Instantly killed! A master! This is definitely a master!”

“No way? This snake has extremely tough scales as defense. I couldn’t break through its defence even after dozens of strikes. But that person could cut it with one blow?”

“That’s why I say that person is a master!”

Lei Jue also took a deep breath. “A single strike to kill! Even though I am already at Level 2, I dare not claim that I can defeat a Level 1 ferocious beast in a one-on-one fight. That person was able to slay the giant snake with a single strike. Could it be that he is a Level 3 expert?”

Qi Jie also took a deep breath. “We don’t know his exact Level, but one thing is certain: he possesses the strength of a Level 3 powerhouse and is a lone ranger.”

“A lone ranger? Qi Jie, could that person be Qin Feng?” Lui Yan’s voice resounded in the area.

Qi Jie’s eyes lit up. “Hey, now that you mention it, it’s actually possible!”

Upon hearing this, the entire crowd fell into a momentary silence. Then, one by one, they looked at each other, as if realizing something significant …
