Chapter 270 A foothold, a trial of life and death, fraught with danger, the weapon has been found! First battle against the giant rabbit!
A desolate landscape stretched as far as the eye could see, with one huge circular pit after another.
This world seems to have neither day nor night, as if it is forever a hazy chaos.
Qin Fang wandered around cautiously, and saw many huge, grumpy rabbits in the distance.
"These are all members of the Ribit race who once reached the Core Condensation Realm..."
Qin Fang watched from afar, lost in thought.
During the first real battle, the boss that Qin Fang encountered last mentioned the 'Core Condensation Realm'. After returning, Qin Fang naturally inquired about what the 'Core Condensation Realm' was.
Old Rabbit also gave him a brief introduction.
Simply put... the Core Condensation Realm is the next level after the 'Open Source Realm'.
While the open-source approach was developed, both need to be practiced simultaneously.
Unblocking the meridians can significantly improve physical strength, complementing the effects of opening up the body's energy channels.
Condensation, on the other hand, is a realm that can only be cultivated after both source energy and meridians have reached a certain level.
The body's source energy is purified and compressed, ultimately forming a 'source core'. With this source core, the quality of the source energy undergoes a dramatic change and acquires even more unique properties…
But what exactly makes it so peculiar?
Old Rabbit didn't go into details, only telling Qin Fang that he would naturally understand once his cultivation level reached a certain point.
The reason why the Ribit race has so many corrupted individuals at the Core Condensation Realm is not because Ribit Star is a 'major cultivation star'.
It's simply because the panel disappears after they turn evil. But the power within their panel doesn't disappear; instead, it manifests as real cultivation, making them 'open source,' 'network,' or 'core condensation'... or even higher-level beings.
It depends on their 'status' at the time.
The monsters in the dungeon are merely projections of these corrupted individuals, and thus exist as 'puppet bodies'.
But the true Ribit people have all transformed into these corrupted beings wandering the world...
Because they have become cultivators, their life level has evolved during the process of corruption, allowing them to survive for a very, very long time without food or water... which means they are destined to wander in this world for a very, very long time...
"These corrupted individuals have lost all reason, but they will occasionally regain their senses for a fleeting moment..."
Qin Fang shook his head.
He hadn't encountered any conscious, corrupted individuals before.
But that's what the old rabbit said, and it has no reason to lie to itself about such things.
So it must be true.
only……
Such clarity is perhaps worse than eternal depravity.
Darkening...
Darkening...
Qin Fang let out a soft breath, a fierce glint appearing in his eyes.
He would never allow the Earth to fall into such a state!
no way!
...
After expending some effort, Qin Fang squinted at the environment before him.
This is a giant circular pit, several kilometers in diameter, with a drop of hundreds of meters. Many huge rocks have fallen from below, forming a complex stone array.
There weren't many monsters roaming around... It was a decent place to settle down.
With that thought, Qin Fang moved and jumped down from the height.
It's nearly 100 meters high, but with Qin Fang's current physical strength, that height is nothing.
Landing steadily, the body easily absorbed the force of the nearly 100-meter fall.
My feet didn't even go numb for a second.
He nodded in satisfaction.
He then searched the vicinity and eventually found a crevice made up of several huge rocks with only a small entrance, which he could crouch down to enter.
Upon entering, one finds an area of about three meters, suitable for sitting, lying down, or standing. The entrance is against the wall of the pit... Once inside, unless one goes around to this narrow entrance, one cannot see directly.
This brought a smile to Qin Fang's face.
"Yes, this is the place."
It's a very suitable temporary place to stay.
Qin Fang kicked some pebbles to the edge, revealing a relatively flat area. He tried sitting and lying down before letting out a soft sigh of relief.
Looking up at the rock-formed 'roof,' he knew he would be staying there for the next three days.
My tense nerves relaxed a little.
"Next, we need to solve the weapon problem..."
Nine-tenths of his fighting ability comes from his weapons. Without weapons, he can't use them at all, so he can only stay here and hide for three days.
But this was clearly not what he expected.
He came here to fight, to undergo trials... not to play hide-and-seek.
With that thought in mind, Qin Fang no longer hesitated. He left his temporary lodging and looked up at the hundred-meter cliff face.
After walking a little further away, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, and his body immediately leaped high into the air like a cannonball.
He jumped up in the blink of an eye, covering a distance of 100 meters.
After landing, Qin Fang looked around and chose a direction to search for any weapons that might appear...
...
"roar!!"
A deafening roar came from not far away.
Qin Fang turned his head and saw a huge figure going crazy there.
Boom boom boom!
This grumpy rabbit, for some unknown reason, was frantically pounding the ground.
A massive figure, resembling a small building, slammed its iron fist into the ground, causing tremors and shattering rocks.
It went crazy for a while before calming down. Then, with a thud, it sat down on the ground, as if in a daze.
After a while, it got up again and wandered off into the distance...
Qin Fang: "..."
These monsters seem to be irrational and extremely violent... They'll probably go berserk every now and then.
Looking at the scattered, broken stones on the ground, Qin Fang shook his head and continued forward.
Where can we find weapons?
He frowned, deep in thought.
Just then.
Suddenly a roar came from the side.
Qin Fang was stunned and subconsciously turned his head to look. Then he saw a huge figure rushing towards him from at least a thousand meters away!
"grass!"
Qin Fang's expression changed instantly, and without thinking, he turned and ran.
They were over a kilometer away, and they still managed to be seen?
Boom!!!
Qin Fang was extremely fast. His source energy and muscles worked together to generate power, and he could instantly cover a distance of hundreds of meters, faster than an arrow.
He heard a booming sound behind him, and the monster crashed to the ground, then quickly gave chase.
Qin Fang had no weapons and could only flee.
Suddenly, another roar came from the right, and the next moment, a dark shadow appeared out of the corner of my eye.
Qin Fang's expression changed again; had he alarmed someone else?
Looking to the side, he saw another huge, rabid rabbit attacking, leaping high into the air and slamming its two hammers into the ground, intending to smash him into a pulp.
Upon seeing this grumpy rabbit, Qin Fang's eyelids twitched immediately... It had gray fur and a ring of white fur around its eyes...
It's the same one that went crazy here just now!
It hadn't gone far; it came over as soon as it heard the noise.
What bad luck!
Qin Fang thought to himself, but he had no weapon and could only run.
With a quick turn of its feet, it nimbly changed direction and fled again.
Two grumpy rabbits roared wildly as they chased after him.
Fortunately, although the grumpy rabbit was fast, Qin Fang was even faster... His figure was like a black shadow, quickly traversing the complex terrain.
Soon after, the two grumpy rabbits lost their target and stopped in their tracks.
He let out a furious roar of resentment.
...
Qin Fang peeked out from behind a boulder and saw two grumpy rabbits roar for a while, then exchange a glance, but ultimately, they didn't fight and each turned and left...
"Damn, didn't he lose his mind? He knows not to fight when he sees his own kind?"
Qin Fang's face darkened.
However, he had noticed this last time... so many weaker, more aggressive rabbits gathered together showed no signs of fighting each other.
Obviously, these stronger ones won't fight each other.
Otherwise... if they all lose their minds and start killing each other on sight... this planet won't be long before it becomes a dead planet. Not a single one will survive.
With a light breath, Qin Fang continued forward.
But this time I was even more careful...
"These grumpy rabbits have excellent eyesight and can clearly distinguish between allies and enemies... We need to be more careful..."
He was thinking to himself.
He continued on his way.
He didn't know where on Planet Ribite this place was, but there were clearly more fierce and irritable rabbits here.
Soon after, he saw a resting pagoda-shaped structure in the distance. A large chunk was missing from the base of the pagoda, making it lean precariously, but it hadn't collapsed. The top of the pagoda appeared to be mushroom-shaped…
But the pagoda is very tall, probably at least a thousand meters high, leaning against a dark, ruined world, looking desolate, telling the story of its former glory.
"It seems this place used to be a big city, no wonder so many powerful people gather here..."
This tower might have once been a famous landmark on Planet Ribit, like the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty.
But now it has collapsed.
It was reduced to ruins.
Qin Fang thought about it, but quickly frowned.
"No, if we go any further, we'll be too far from the shelter... and we can clearly feel that the monsters are getting denser and denser."
He looked up and around. The distant, layered roars came from near and far, indicating that the number of monsters was increasing.
He shook his head, preparing to change direction.
But suddenly a glint appeared in the corner of his eye, and he paused for a moment, slightly taken aback.
He quickly focused his attention and took a look...
I even spotted some tiny creatures wandering in the distance...
Are they the weaker Ribitians?
This made his eyes light up.
He hadn't forgotten that many of these Ribitians were armed.
For example, some are archers.
But there were also axemen and knifemen!
Their weapons...
Maybe it will work?
Qin Fang's spirits lifted, and he quickly moved closer to observe carefully.
There are quite a few small Ribit people wandering around here, probably more than a dozen.
They are relatively scattered.
Qin Fang quickly locked his gaze on a Ribit tribesman carrying a gleaming broadsword.
He took a deep breath and then looked around.
Good, I don't see the large, grumpy rabbit anywhere in sight.
These smaller ones...
Qin Fang's eyes flashed, and the next moment he rushed out.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived behind the wandering knife-wielder.
Before the knife-wielder could even react, Qin Fang had already punched it in the head.
Although there was no blade, the energy still naturally emanated from the fist as it struck out.
Bang!!!
With a crisp crack, the head of the grumpy rabbit was smashed in half like a watermelon!
A cloud of blood mist sprayed out.
His body froze on the spot for a moment, and then he fell to the ground with a thud.
"ah!!!"
A piercing scream rang out beside me.
The other smaller, grumpy rabbits spotted Qin Fang and immediately pounced on him.
Qin Fang reached out and snatched the knife from the hand of the irritable rabbit.
He frowned slightly the moment he gripped the hilt of the knife...
The handle of the knife is too short; it can only be held in one hand.
...Yes, although the grumpy rabbit's hands can grasp, they are more like 'hooves' than 'hands', and are much narrower than those of a human.
Their weapons might be easy for them to use, but Qin Fang wouldn't find them easy to use.
But now is not the time to be picky, so we can only make do.
As the ferocious rabbits attacked from all sides, Qin Fang, knife in hand, moved closer instead of retreating.
In an instant, blades flashed everywhere.
These grumpy rabbits were too slow for Qin Fang.
The second-stage advancement of the Source Energy Cultivation Technique further enhanced his nerve reaction speed. In his eyes, the movements of these irritable rabbits, while not quite as slow as tortoises, were indeed as if they had been slowed down.
Qin Fang unleashed his Yuan Energy, which, along with his muscles, exploded, propelling him forward in an instant. He zigzagged through a small area, his blade flashing.
Puff puff puff puff! ~
The heads of several grumpy rabbits all shot upwards and flew into the air.
Sold out instantly!
It was an instant kill without even using the Nine Slashes of the Wind!
A smile appeared on Qin Fang's face.
Just then, a roar came.
Turning my head, I saw a large, grumpy rabbit suddenly appear out of nowhere. It had obviously seen what was happening and roared as it charged at me.
Upon seeing this, Qin Fang not only didn't back down, but his eyes lit up.
"The last time I encountered someone like you, I only lasted 3 seconds... This time, I'll see how long you can last!"
A look of eagerness appeared in Qin Fang's eyes.
The next moment, the grumpy rabbit was right in front of them.
Phew!
A massive fist, almost as tall as Qin Fang himself, slammed down, like a dump truck hurtling towards him at 180 miles per hour.
But Qin Fang did not retreat; instead, he suddenly charged forward.
He moved with incredible speed, narrowly dodging the enormous fist, and approached the small, house-like, irritable rabbit.
The grumpy rabbit still had one arm, but it had thrown such a powerful punch that it didn't have time to throw another.
A flash of white light appeared in Qin Fang's eyes.
"Wind, third strike!"
He charged forward, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand burst forth with a dazzling light, unleashing fifty-four sword beams in the blink of an eye!
The blade's edge flashed like a bolt of lightning, instantly slashing towards the irritable rabbit.
Then I heard a series of 'puff puff puff puff' sounds.
The blade struck the grumpy rabbit, instantly slicing through its fur.
Blood spurted out.
Before Qin Fang could even smile, an irresistible force struck, sending him flying as if blown away by a gale.
My vision rapidly reversed and rotated.
Qin Fang was greatly alarmed and quickly adjusted his posture.
The simultaneous burst of energy and muscle power allowed him to quickly recover, but upon landing, he still couldn't help but stumble back more than ten steps.
Then he quickly looked up.
Only then did they notice that the giant, irritable rabbit had wounds all over its body, but it was clearly not dead. It let out an angry roar, and white light emanated from its body.
To Qin Fang's astonishment, the enormous body of the irritable rabbit suddenly floated up in the next moment.
Its scarlet eyes stared intently at Qin Fang, and it roared angrily.
Qin Fang: "???"
No, didn't you run away before?
Flying after being injured?
What the hell?!
