Chapter 369 - Humanoid Settlement

Translator: CinderTL

Opening his status panel, he reviewed the changes to his Blood Source ability.

Innate Ability: Blood Source

Talent Rating: 0.01% of Seventh Tier

Talent Description: Condenses a blood core within the heart, drastically enhancing its operational efficiency. This ability can also be actively activated to instantly drain the blood core's energy, forming the Invincible Blood Source Body, which grants an explosive increase in combat power. This ability's effectiveness scales with the user's qi blood strength.

With this upgrade, Feng Qi's blood source reached the seventh-tier evaluation.

He had 23 talent beads remaining, which he chose to feed entirely to "Purple Soul."

After completing the advancement of his innate ability, he opened his eyes.

The horizon was just beginning to lighten, and a crimson sun was slowly rising.

He stood up and strode toward the rainforest.

Having hunted along the way, his qi blood had now fully recovered to its peak state, eliminating any concerns about being unable to activate his Blood Source Form.

He felt no fear facing the challenges ahead.

Upon entering the rainforest, the environment became incredibly complex, with no clear paths for normal passage.

In the previous Sacrifice Line, when he had arrived at the Heijue Domain Field, paths had already been carved deep into the island's interior. However, at this point in time, he was likely the first human to set foot in the Heijue Domain Field, meaning he would have to forge his own path deeper into the island.

The rainforest's interior was hot and humid, with dense vegetation.

Towering trees stretched their sprawling branches across the sky, obscuring the sunlight. Only slivers of light pierced through the gaps in the foliage, forming visible columns of light that pierced the gloom.

Fortunately, Feng Qi possessed night vision, eliminating any concerns about navigating the dim environment.

After walking for some time, he pulled out his navigation system from his backpack.

As expected, the Heijue Domain Field hadn't fully merged with the world yet, and there was absolutely no signal inside.

From here on, he would have to rely on his memory to navigate.

The rainforest was thick with vines, crisscrossing like a spiderweb, and the occasional roars of distant beasts echoed through the air.

The environment differed significantly from his memories.

After all, when he had arrived here on the Sacrifice Line, it had been many years after this point in the timeline.

Continuing to explore without a map or navigation would easily lead him astray, potentially taking him further and further from his destination.

Suddenly, he remembered the Narrator.

Whenever Little Black was about to arrive, the Narrator would sense it in advance and warn him.

The Narrator had also mentioned possessing exceptional range sensing and exploration capabilities.

With this in mind, he immediately called out:

"A'Bai, time to get to work."

Capitalist Feng Qi, what the hell do you want me to do now? Can't I get a day off?

Ignoring the Narrator's sarcastic remarks, he pressed on:

"I'm afraid of getting lost if I go deeper. Use your search ability to scout ahead and see if you can find any humanoids."

The Narrator fell silent, offering no immediate response.

After a moment, the Narrator's voice returned:

Ding! Target "Humanoid Life" detected. Three o'clock direction. Proceed!

Feng Qi immediately changed direction, striding toward the indicated location.

The rainforest's terrain was treacherous, so he decided to leap up, grab a dangling vine, and try to swing forward like Tarzan.

But this method proved ineffective.

Just as he swung to grab the second vine, the vine in his hand turned slick as an eel. A massive snake head lunged forward, sinking its fangs into his arm.

Dark-green venom flooded his veins.

Without hesitation, he shifted into his Battle Body Form and severed the snake's head with a swift hand chop.

The external energy intrusion activated the purple soul markings etched onto his bones.

As he landed, dark green poison mist erupted from his heart, automatically expelling the toxins injected into his flesh.

He tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and let his mental energy surge upward, spreading across the sky.

The world perceived through his mental senses was exceptionally clear.

To his surprise, nearly one-fifth of the vines hanging from the canopy above were actually camouflaged snakes.

Reluctant to waste time, he chose to continue on foot.

After several more hours of travel, he arrived at a rushing stream.

The area was covered in smooth pebbles, with several paths worn into the ground by the Domain Field's creatures. Vegetation was sparse.

At the stream's edge, two massive white-furred ants were bent low, drinking.

Feng Qi didn't retreat; he walked straight toward them.

The giant white-furred ants snapped their heads up, emitting warning "gurglings" from within their bodies.

Since they had crossed paths, it must be fate.

Moments later, Feng Qi stepped over the dismembered bodies of the white-furred ants and continued deeper into the rainforest.

He felt no mercy toward the domain creatures.

He had always believed that showing mercy to one's enemies was cruelty to one's own people.

Perhaps these domain creatures had been the ones who killed frontline warriors during humanity's exploration of the Heijue Domain Field.

Since they had encountered each other, killing them was the only natural course of action.

Different races rarely stand united on the same front. On the Sacrifice Line, his alliance with Old Mist was merely an exception.

Old Mist had once said something that left a deep impression on him:

"Never harbor any mercy toward other races. The best way to respect and value them is to exterminate them completely."

At the time, these words had struck him with considerable force.

Upon reflection, he realized the truth in them.

Why did the various Domain Forces lurking within human society ignore the Domain Weakling Alliance?

Aside from exploiting the Weakling Clan Alliance for their own purposes, the fundamental reason was that these weak races posed no threat to their future plans.

But if a race showed potential, they would be annihilated with thunderous force, leaving no chance for it to rise.

Between races, the only way to truly value each other is through complete extermination.

As he ventured deeper into the rainforest, the surrounding scenery began to change.

Ahead, tall trees covered in white fur gradually became more frequent, and giant white-furred ants crawled up their trunks.

He didn't need to activate his Blood Source Form to deal with these ants; his Battle Body Form's combat prowess was more than sufficient.

Following the Narrator's guidance, he constantly adjusted his course. After an unknown amount of time, the forest ahead began to open up.

Emerging from the white rainforest, he was greeted by a cascading waterfall that plunged into a clear, lake-like pool below.

To the right of the lake lay a sizable camp.

Within the camp stood wooden structures, and the carcasses of rainforest animals hung from the perimeter.

This was his destination: the humanoid settlement.

Instead of charging straight into the camp, he decided to lie low nearby and observe the situation. Ideally, he hoped to wait for the humanoid chieftain to leave the settlement voluntarily.

This would significantly reduce the pressure on him when he attempted to seize the Miracle Bracelet.
