"Ugh... It's always just 3, 4, or 5 crystals at a time. When will I ever gather 200 of them...?
Opening the white plank level treasure chest and seeing the 4 soul crystals inside, Qin Feng couldn't help but complain.
Soul crystals are a crucial resource. They can not only be used to raise levels but also serve as a currency to purchase various supplies and equipment.
And in this Lord Trial, soul crystal can even be used to buy building blueprints and items to unlock troop types.
However, obtaining soul crystals is not easy.
This is because soul crystals can only be acquired in three ways: killing monsters, killing magical creatures, or killing Trial Participants.
"It seems I still need to kill Elite Rank monsters..."
Qin feng muttered to himself, checking the number of soul crystals he had, and then headed deeper into the forest.
However, Qin Feng had only walked three or four hundred meters when a notification in his mind suddenly made him stop.
"Ding... Unlocked the territory achievement [Seeker(Class/Title)], rewarded with basic resources (Food * 500, Water * 500, Wood * 500, Stone *500), gained Trial Score * 100..."
Hearing the notification in his mind, Qin Feng was instantly overjoyed, almost jumping up and shouting, "Woohoo!"
The rewards were minor; the key was the "Seeker(Class/Title)" profession!
Strictly speaking, "Seeker(Class/Title)" cannot be considered a profession.
At most, it means someone has developed a strong interest in something, thus acquiring an extremely high desire for knowledge.
Therefore, even if one obtains the "Seeker(Class/Title)" profession, they will not receive extra bonuses or skills like other professions.
However, "Seeker(Class/Title)" is a prerequisite for advancing to the advanced professions of "Scholars," "Adventurer," and "Researcher."
And in this Lord Trial, if villagers are promoted to any of the three advanced professions mentioned above, then the territory can unlock the corresponding "academy(original building)," "Adventurer's Guild," "Laboratory," and the even rarer "Library" buildings.
These four buildings might not play a significant role in this Lord Trial.
But in Qin Feng's "Territory Development blueprint," they are four incredibly important cornerstones.
This is why Qin Feng was so excited.
What's more, the probability of villagers obtaining the "Seeker(Class/Title)" profession in the Lord Trial, with such harsh teaching conditions, is truly low; only 2.64%!
What? Why so precise? How was this data obtained?
Heh, how else could it have been obtained?
Of course, it was the data obtained from countless humans gambling their lives and property on various practices!
Besides that, how else?
"Good! With the Seeker(Class/Title) profession, it will be much easier to advance to the later advanced professions!"
Qin Feng thought to himself excitedly, feeling full of confidence.
But just at this moment, the excited Qin Feng suddenly felt an inexplicable danger.
"Not good!"
Qin Feng cried out inwardly, immediately raising the hoe in his hand to block in front of him.
At the same time, Qin Feng tapped his toes and retreated repeatedly.
In that instant, a completely black wolf shaped monster, with its bloodthirsty mouth wide open, fiercely pounced towards Qin Feng.
"Swish..."
The wolf shaped monster was very fast.
Fortunately, Qin Feng's dodge was timely, preventing him from being bitten in a vital spot by the wolf shaped monster.
Even so, Qin Feng's arm was still cut open by the wolf shaped monster's claws, leaving a bloody gash.
Immediately, blood flowed freely from Qin Feng's arm, and waves of sharp pain stimulated his nerves, causing him to show a pained expression.
However, the wolf shaped monster, having missed its first strike, gave Qin Feng no chance to catch his breadth.
The moment it landed, it immediately turned its body.
The next moment, it transformed into a black shadow and lunged at Qin Feng again.
"Damn it! It's a shadow Hunter Wolf! And an Elite Rank one at that!"
Seeing the wolf shaped monster transform into a shadow, Qin Feng recognized it immediately and felty a headache.
Both being Level 1, the attributes of Elite Rank and Mortal Rank are not actually very different.
But Elite Rank creatures have skills!
Among them, the Elite Rank Shadow Hunter Wolf is particularly difficult to deal with.
Because this guy is not only fast but can also turn its body into a shadow, immune to most physical attacks!
However, fortunately, the Shadow Hunter Wolf's skill has a fatal weakness!
"Roar..."
With a roar, the shadow Hunter Wolf appeared before Qin Feng in a flash, biting fiercely.
Seeing this, Qin Feng naturally couldn't sit idly by and immediately dodged to the side, avoiding the Shadow Hunter Wolf's bite.
At the same time, Qin Feng also took the opportunity to raise the hoe in his hand and swung it at the Shadow Hunter Wolf's head.
But that Shadow Hunter Wolf was also incredibly quick to react.
It transformed into a shadow again the moment the hoe came down, causing Qin Feng's attack to miss.
Not only that, but the Shadow Hunter Wolf also used its skills to appear before Qin Feng in the blink of an eye, opening its mouth to bite.
"Roar, roar, roar..."
Facing the Shadow Hunter Wolf's fierce bites, Qin Feng was helpless and could only try his best to dodge.
But Qin Feng's Dodging seemed to have little effect, narrowly avoiding being bitten in vital spots several times in a row by the Shadow Hunter Wolf.
At this point, Qin Feng also grew anxious; in his urgency, he gritted his teeth and actually stopped dodging!
"Roar..."
"Ah..."
Roars and screams rang out one after another.
The Shadow Hunter Wolf's bloody mouth bit firmly onto Qin Feng's arm, its sharp fangs deeply embedded in Qin Feng's flesh.
This made Qin Feng let out a scream of pain, but in the next moment, Qin Feng's eyes widened in fury, glaring at the Shadow Hunter Wolf.
"Go to hell!"
Qin Feng roared, and a hoe appeared out of thin air, suddenly grasped in his right hand.
Immediately after, with a "thump," Qin Feng swung the hoe, actually cutting deeply into the Shadow Hunter Wolf's abdomen!
"Whimper..."
The intense pain immediately made the Shadow Hunter Wolf release its bloody bite and let out a wail.
But how could Qin Feng let it go like that!
"Thump... thump..."
While the Shadow Hunter Wolf hadn't reacted, Qin Feng pulled out the hoe, swung it repeatedly, striking the Shadow Hunter Wolf's head again and again.
Finally, after five or six blows, the Shadow Hunter Wolf's head suddenly burst open, and its body fell limply on the ground.
"Ding... Continue to kill 10 Mortal Rank Shadow Hunter Wolves and 1 Elite Rank Shadow Hunter Wolf to unlock the achievement [Shadow Hunter Wolf] , obtaining [Unhatched Shadow Hunter Wolf]..."
