Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Wang Teng opened his eyes, he was greeted by rows of lush green trees.

A gentle breeze blew, and the air was filled with the thick smell of blood.

There seemed to be danger here!

He touched the grass and sat up, his back against the tree.

After making sure that no one was around, Wang Teng let out a sigh of relief.

“Whew. Let’s see how the others are doing first.”

Wang Teng mumbled to himself. The chat channel slowly appeared in his mind.

The chat channel in Yan city was silent, but the newly added chat channel of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils began to get active.

“Where is everyone? Didn’t we agree to form a team? why am I the only one here?”

“Brother, I’m sorry. I’ve just entered the dungeon and I’m at the Shaolin Temple. I’ll come to save you after I defeat the sweeping monk.”

“I’m so envious. I’m in an abandoned village, surrounded by yellow sand. I don’t even know where to go!”

“It seems that everyone has been scattered to various places. We have to find our footing first before we plan.”

Wang Teng left the chat silently.

The Beggar’s Sect and Western Xia’s class one hall were at war, but the Shaolin Temple was a place of peace. That was the time when Qiao Feng was framed and resigned as the sect master of Beggar’s Sect.

In other words, the chaos in the martial arts world of the Central Plains had just begun!

When Wang Teng felt that there was no danger around him, he carefully stuck his head out to observe his surroundings.

Not far away, a corpse was nailed to the tree trunk. It was Su Qiang!

Su Qiang’s body was covered in knife wounds. His stomach was cut open and his intestines were all over the ground. It was a horrifying sight.

Wang Teng summoned up his courage and walked over to the corpses. There were three or four more corpses under the tree, all dressed in rags. They had all died.

The smell of blood snaked into Wang Teng’s nose like a venomous viper.

He could not help but bend over and retch. This was the first time he had seen a dead person.

Stay calm!

Wang Teng suppressed his fear and began to look around.

Based on a basic analysis, when the people from Western Xia’s class one hall surrounded and attacked the beggar’s sect members in the forest, Su Qiang just so happened to be teleported over. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Wang Teng looked at Su Qiang’s ripped jeans and lowered his head in silence.

“As a fellow citizen of Yan city, I can’t bear to see your corpse in the wilderness, so I’ll bury you!”

After that, he endured the strong smell of blood and put one hand on Su Qiang’s body.

This is too heavy!

Wang Teng was pretty weak, so it was difficult for him to lift a corpse that was nailed to a tree.

His palm glowed with a white light.

[Endless extraction successful! [Obtained C-level talent – mountain-toppling strength]

Wang Teng was ecstatic.

He did not expect that a moment of kindness would trigger the SSS-grade talent.

He had actually extracted Su Qiang’s talent!

He quickly checked his talent window.

“Innate talent: Unequal Exchange.”

“Secondary talent: Endless Extraction, Mountain-toppling Strength.”

As expected, he now had three talents.

His Strength was 8 points, and when his talent was activated, it could become 16 points.

This caused his strength to increase greatly!

“So this is the effect of endless extraction!”

At this thought, Wang Teng looked expectantly at the other four corpses.

[Extraction successful! You have gained 2 Constitution points!]

[Extraction successful! You have gained 3 Strength points!]

[Extraction successful! You have gained 2 Agility points!]

[Extraction successful! You have gained 3 Strength points!]

It felt too good!

He could actually extract and increase his five attributes!

In other words, Endless Extraction could directly increase his overall combat strength!

This time, his Strength attribute directly reached 14 points.

Moreover, he had the Mountain-toppling strength talent, which doubled his strength to 28 points.

With a single thought, his entire body emitted a bright light.

[Mountain-toppling strength, activation successful. Duration, 30 minutes. Cooldown Time – 1 hour.]

Wang Teng felt his muscles brimming with energy. He punched a tree, causing the leaves to rustle!

“Not bad. Although I didn’t level up, the increase in the five attributes is what I need to survive.”

He muttered to himself as he enjoyed the changes brought by the improvement of his body.

Others were still struggling between life and death, but he had already begun his path of improvement!

“Thank you all for your gifts. I’ll bury you all as well.”

Thinking of this, Wang Teng pulled out the long sword from Su Qiang’s body.

To his surprise, a white light appeared in his palm again.

[Endless extraction successful! Impurities extracted. Xia Ren sword has been upgraded from white – normal to green – excellent!]

Not bad! Not bad!

Endless extraction could also extract impurities to obtain items of a higher grade.

[World announcement: player Wang has activated the item system for the first time and obtained 5 strength points!]

[Items are divided according to their quality. White – normal, green – superior, blue – rare, purple – epic, red – mythical, orange – legendary, gold – undying, dark gold – treasure, Royal Guard]

As soon as the announcement came out, the chat channel exploded.

“Wow! Someone’s equipped a sword, that’s awesome!”

“Yes, and I haven’t even escaped from the prison of the Western Xia people yet!”

“Player Wang is too powerful.”

Wang Teng slowly exited the chat channel.

Although he was secretly happy, this was not the time for him to expose himself!

He was going to continue looking for new bodies!

…

“Bang!”

Wang Teng, who had changed out of his beggar’s clothes, lifted a stone that weighed several dozen Jin and placed it under the tree.

He looked at The Endless Forest and felt a sense of pride.

The Western Xia soldiers had chased someone all the way here. If he continued down this path, he would definitely be able to find more corpses.

At this thought, Wang Teng looked at the grass and followed the direction with the most footprints.

With opportunity came danger. If he did not take risks, how would he find opportunity?

Just like that, Wang Teng carefully made his way through the forest.

He only had one life, so he had to cherish it.

Besides, the route he was taking was the route where Western Xia class one hall’s Army was marching in.

After 15 minutes, he arrived at a crater.

Before he even got close, he could hear the sound of an intense argument.

“Because of my dissension, the Beggar Sect fell apart. You took the opportunity to come in and slaughter the Beggar Sect. It’s only natural that you restore my sect next! Do you Western Xia people not even have this little bit of credibility?”

“Hahaha, this land belongs to Western Xia. What does this have anything to do with you?”

“Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

“Hmph! Even if you are a high-level expert, you can’t resist my Western Xia’s God arm bow. Shoot!”

Immediately after, countless explosives suddenly rang out. It lasted for about half an hour before it became silent.

Wang Teng crouched down, using the bushes as cover as he approached the crater.

When he got close, he saw that the clearing was a mess. There were footprints, swords, and broken trees everywhere.

It could be seen that the fight was unusually intense.

At this moment, seven to eight figures were lying in the center of the crater. They were all dressed in Western Xia clothing.

Wang Teng was a little excited to see this.

After he was sure that no one had survived, he quietly walked to the side of the corpse and pressed one hand on the Western Xia soldier’s body …

A white light flashed!

A comfortable feeling spread throughout Wang Teng’s body.

[Extraction successful! Obtained 10 strength!]

10 points of strength!

This guy must be a big shot in Western Xia, for him to be able to extract 10 points of strength!

His strength had reached 29 points! It had already exceeded the normal value of most people, and his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds!

Right now, there were even more benefits.

At this thought, Wang Teng once again placed his hand on the other corpses.

However, when he moved the corpse, a hand stretched out from the pile of corpses and grabbed his shoulder.
