Chapter 35: Hell Stone
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qin Feng was now at sowhere about 100 km away from Chengbei Colony. This was one of the spots purged by the Savage Armies. Hence, there would be no powerful beasts attacking Qin Feng. However, there were still so G-tier beasts lying around. During spring and autumn, the military would continue to co here to do their annual purge.
He decided to set up camp within the confines of the hovercar. Besides, why put all that luxury to waste. Before Qin Feng settled to sleep, he sprinkled so beast-repellent powder 20 ters away.
Waking up the next morning, he found several beasts trying to approach the vehicle, only to be stopped by the beast repellent barricade. Seeing the opportunity, Qin Feng quickly rounded them up and killed them. With the encouraging results, he set out to look for another rift. After looking around for so ti, his efforts were fruitless and to no avail.
“I’m pretty sure that I’m at the right location. I think the space rift has not happened yet. Examining the clues, I think it should have happened within these two days!”
Qin Feng’s current location was sowhat distant from Chengbei Colony. He could only estimate when the space rift was going to happen. By the ti the Savage Armies ca to investigate, it should have been long gone by then. The machine only indicated that the space rift would happen this month and it was perfectly normal that Qin Feng did not know exact details.
To his surprise, however, the space rift was about to rake place sooner than he expected. It was evening, and the sky was painted in streaks of orange. Without warning, a part of the sky rippled and twisted. Then, Qin Feng’s car started to blare out warnings.
Dit!
Dit!
Dit!
[Warning! Warning! A space rift is spawning 500 ters away from you. Unknown creatures inbound. Please be careful!]
Dit!
Dit!
Dit!
Dit!
[This space rift is less than 10 centiters wide. Threat level: G!]
Dit!
Dit!
Dit!
[A huge surge of energy has been detected! You are recomnded to leave your location as soon as possible!]
Qin Feng quickly lifted up his head to scan his surroundings. He saw cracks appear in place of the ripples, and it suddenly shattered like glass getting hit by a bullet. Typically, space rifts were extrely unpredictable. They could either contain fortunes or threats.
This was the second space rift that he’d encountered since he had been reborn into his world. Qin Feng initially thought that it presented a golden opportunity for him to earn a handso amount of fortune.
Or so he wished!
He was wrong!
This was a major threat.
The sudden appearance of the wormhole caused black lightning to cackle all around it. This space rift was different from the one in the razor-fanged infant incident. This one was spawning very slowly. It would seem that Qin Feng still had enough ti to flee from the scene.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a teor streaked through the sky. Burning red with charred dark bits flying off it, it left a fascinating flaming trail akin to a cot.
BAM!
Everything happened in a mighty flash! In a blinding flash, everything around him vaporized and exploded. Qin Feng had no ti to react, what more stray any further from his landing spot. Before he could even realize it, the teor landed only 30 ters away from his hovercar. The trendous force of the impact was almost powerful enough overturn Qin Feng’s hovercar.
“Hovering!”
Imdiately, Qin Feng pressed on the button that allowed the car to hover, and it had managed to nullify the powerful shockwave of the teor. The only thing that he could not avoid was flying stones and debris, raining upon the car like a furious hailstorm! The entire landscape had been terraford by the teor’s impact.
Ji!
Ji!
Ji!
Xiaobai vocalized, extrely agitated. The fur behind its neck all stood up; its flight or fight instinct triggered. Once the rained of sand and stones slowed down, Qin Feng exited his vehicle, deciding to take a good look at the stellar body that had so rudely intruded the calm.
“This... This is the Hell Stone!”
The sight of the stone threw Qin Feng into a shock. The teor was a black stone that was covered in flas; its black smoke consisting of black runes. The runes were like a virus, where any exposure could turn the person into a zombie.
“This explains the zombie horde that I encountered so ti ago!”
A catastrophic event had taken place at Chengbei Colony a month ago. Tens of thousands of zombies sward the colony at the sa ti. Though they had been all been quickly eliminated, the disease-carrying zombies managed to kill 40% of kids below the age of 16 who had yet to receive awakening serums.
The orphanage suffered the most losses during that period. At that ti, Lin Derong was not there. Most of the kids from the orphanage were killed by the virus, clearing out the entire first floor of the orphanage.
Amid the tragic event, Qin Feng had managed to successfully flee the colony. Before he left the orphanage, he received a ssage from the employees, asking for a donation to help them deal with the crisis. It was then that Qin Feng gave all his money, enough to keep him alive for a few days. He soon left the place in a hurry.
Still, it did not help much. All the while, Qin Feng paid close attention to this incident. Everything that was reported about the orphanage did not match what he witnessed. At first, Qin Feng thought the catastrophic event was caused by the black runes that had escaped the space rift. He had never thought that a Hell Stone was the cause of everything.
Hell Stones were considered S-tier special ability items.
One might wonder what horrors this stone was capable of bringing.
A wild boar had been killed when the stone hit the ground. Instead of staying dead, the swine stood on all fours and let out a long roar. Its enormous body was surrounded by a black aura, and its originally yellow skin had turned grey. It soon started to shed, displaying all the boar’s muscles. The weirdest part was, not a single drop of blood had co out from it. Its eyes were had now turned red as if possessed by an evil spirit.
Zombification!
Qin Feng got down from his car without a second thought. It was a well-known fact that killing a zombified creature was extrely difficult. Qin Feng had to land a shot on its head to get a confird kill. If Qin Feng ca into contact with the beast, there was a high chance that he might turn into a zombie.
ZAAP!
The energy gun penetrated the wild boar’s head with a long, blue beam.
At the sa ti, the black runes changed direction and were headed towards Qin Feng! Unbeknownst to him, it was actually impossible for him to turn into a zombie because he was a dark ability user.
“Since all of these are black runes, I wonder if it’s possible for to absorb them all.”
Qin Feng’s primary purpose in coming here was to kill all the dark creatures. He had never thought that the truth could have been so terrifying. Now, panic was setting in. He braced himself and walk toward the dark runes.
Ji!
Ji!
Ji!
Xiaobai moving around in the hovercar. Nonetheless, it refrained from calling Qin Feng back because it sohow knew that the dark runes were going to benefit him. Xiaobai might appear to be a small creature, but it was, after all, the child of a high-tier beast and inherited the mory of its parents. Right now, however, it only had its instincts to rely on.
“Absorb!”
Qin Feng’s special ability core was activated.
