After realizing the particularity of his situation, Yang Bei decided not to expose it for the time being, but chose to stay quietly in the dark forest and continue to work on cutting trees.

After all, the means he had at this moment were still quite limited. Although he had initially mastered a certain degree of power, it was only a glimpse of the basics and was far from enough to create any big waves.

Therefore, the most important thing for Yang Bei at the moment is to continue cutting down those extremely hard black iron trees in this dark forest full of dangers.

However, the Dark Iron Forest is by no means a completely safe place today.

Just after Yang Bei had been working hard and sweating profusely for about two hours, suddenly, a shrill scream broke the relatively calm atmosphere.

All that was heard was a hoarse “Ah!” that echoed throughout the forest, causing everyone present to look sideways.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and soon discovered that one of the people who was cutting down the black iron tree had been attacked by a dark monster.

I saw that the man’s calf had been bitten hard by a huge black rat at some point, and a shocking gap was torn open.

What was even more bizarre was that there was a thick aura of darkness lingering over the wound, and what was surprising was that even though the wound was so hideous, not a single drop of blood flowed out of it.

Yang Bei, who was standing not far away, keenly noticed something unusual. He could clearly feel the strong corrosive smell emanating from the gap in the man’s leg.

If he doesn’t get effective treatment in time, it won’t be long before he loses his life because of this terrible corrosive dark aura.

Thinking of this, Yang Bei’s heart tightened involuntarily, and he secretly sped up the movement of chopping trees.

It seems that the danger posed by these dark beasts is beyond imagination.

When facing them, even getting injured is absolutely not allowed.

However, the situation may not be so desperate.

Today, Yang Bei has successfully opened up two dark spiritual veins, giving him dark magic power in his body.

This mysterious dark magic power might just be a powerful weapon against the corrosive aura of darkness.

Of course, this is just Yang Bei’s bold guess.

But this speculation is not groundless and imaginary.

Just when he witnessed the terrible wound on that person’s body, Yang Bei clearly felt that if he covered the other person’s wound with the dark magic power in his body, he might be able to heal the other person’s injury.

Sure enough, everything that happened next was just as Yang Bei had expected.

Shortly after this man was unfortunately injured, the village guards quickly rushed to the scene.

They used their powerful magic power without hesitation and accurately covered the wounds of the wounded.

An astonishing scene then appeared: the man’s originally hideous, bloody wounds were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the missing pieces of flesh seemed to be summoned back by a magical power, gradually growing back to their original state.

Before long, the once scarred calf completely got rid of the shadow of the wound and became intact again.

The incredible scene before him was undoubtedly the most powerful proof of Yang Bei’s previous guess!
When the village guard finished the treatment, he solemnly warned the people around him: “Be careful.”

After saying this, he turned around and, with firm steps, quickly returned to his lonely but important guard post.

The area that the guard was responsible for was actually located in front of the village, but surprisingly, he was the only one guarding such a critical position.

You know, the vast area called the Dark Forest is full of countless unknowns and dangers, and ferocious dark beasts may suddenly jump out from any corner.

However, the guard’s task was not to deal with threats from all directions, but to stare intently ahead, always alert to whether a large-scale wave of monsters would attack.

As long as he finds any signs of abnormality, he must immediately sound the alarm and take appropriate measures to protect the safety of the entire village.

However, the man who had just completed treatment and was gradually recovering did not choose to stay away from this dangerous place.

On the contrary, he did not hesitate to grip the heavy axe in his hand again and resolutely devoted himself to the work of cutting down the black iron tree.

After all, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, the only way to survive safely is to continuously obtain various valuable resources and thereby continuously improve one’s own strength.

If they lose their courage simply because they are afraid of the sudden attack of monsters, and dare not step out of their homes, and give up actions such as cutting down trees to obtain resources, then the end that awaits them will be a tragic death.

A being that can enter this world.

None of them are afraid of death.

Yang Bei stood still and looked around sharply. After just a brief pause, he raised the axe in his hand again and continued to chop down the trees in front of him.

Time passed quietly, and before we knew it, the sun set and night fell.

The black sun in the sky slowly set over the mountain, as if being swallowed by endless darkness. The whole world instantly fell into an even deeper darkness.

At this moment, when Yang Bei was about to continue swinging his axe at a black iron tree next to him, he suddenly heard a slight noise coming from some black weeds not far away.

If it were in the past, before his spiritual veins were opened up and his body was strengthened, he would probably have found it difficult to detect such a faint and distant sound.

After all, this unusual movement was at least a hundred meters away from where he was currently, and the sound itself was extremely small. If it weren’t for the greatly enhanced sensitivity of his senses at this moment, he would not have been able to capture such a slight movement.

However, with his perception ability far beyond that of ordinary people, Yang Bei not only heard the strange noise clearly, but was also able to accurately determine that it was a black rat that made the noise.

Moreover, judging from the speed and frequency of the sound transmission, it can be concluded that the black rat is running towards him at a very fast speed.

Faced with this sudden situation, Yang Bei narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a barely perceptible excitement.

He has always longed for the opportunity to hunt the dark monsters in this mysterious world in order to gain a deeper understanding of its mysteries.

And now, this black rat that came to his door on its own initiative has undoubtedly become his perfect target.

At the same time, he had an important question in his mind that needed to be answered – how could he upgrade his own auto-attack panel?

Is it true, as he guessed, that there is some connection between it and these dark monsters?

Thinking of this, Yang Bei tightly grasped the axe in his hand, staring intently at the black grass that made the sound, quietly waiting for the black rat to appear…

For Yang Bei, he was full of confidence in dealing with a mere black rat.

After all, he has now successfully opened up two dark spiritual veins. Both his physical fitness and the magic power contained in his body are by no means superficial.

Therefore, he only needs to proceed step by step, make adequate preparations, and wait for the black rat to come to him.

In addition, there is another crucial factor that cannot be ignored – the level of the axe in his hand at this moment has been significantly improved, and its sharpness is amazing.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Yang Bei can hit the black rat accurately, this blow will kill it instantly.

With such a confident thought in mind, Yang Bei stood still, as motionless as a steady mountain, quietly waiting for the black rat to approach.

Time passed quietly, and before long, the black rat, which was originally a hundred meters away, suddenly rushed over like lightning, and was within reach in the blink of an eye!
Yang Bei took a deep breath, mobilizing the powerful magic power in his body, and it quickly covered his whole body like a transparent shield.

As the magic power flowed, he could clearly feel that every cell in his body was nourished and strengthened by this powerful force, and the functions of all organs in his body were instantly improved. At this moment, his vision became extremely sharp, and his hearing was as sensitive as radar. He could accurately capture every move of the black rat sneaking in the dark, even the slightest change in movement.

Just when the black rat was about to reach the target position, Yang Bei, who had been concentrating on waiting for the opportunity, suddenly attacked!

He tightly grasped the gleaming axe in both hands, his arm muscles bulged suddenly, and he swung it down with a force as powerful as thunder!

There was a loud and crisp “bang” and the axe flashed across the night sky like lightning, and fell to the ground with unparalleled power.

In an instant, dust flew and gravel scattered.

The head, which was originally on the black rat’s neck, was completely separated from the body by this shocking blow, just like a ripe fruit falling from a branch.

At the same time, a stream of black blood gushed out from the fracture like a fountain, splashing on the ground and forming a shocking pool of blood.

Successfully killed!

[Energy detected, should it be absorbed? ]

Just when he successfully killed the black rat, Yang Bei received a prompt from the panel.

In that case, just absorb it directly!
【absorb!】

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

A thought fell.

The black rat corpses on the ground completely disappeared.

It turned into a stream of energy and entered his body.

[Experience value +0.1]

【Hang up panel】

Level: lv1 (0.1/10)

Judging from the current progress, if we want to upgrade the level of the hang-up panel from the current state to the second level, it is conservatively estimated that at least 100 black rats must be successfully killed.

However, for Yang Bei, this requirement cannot be considered a difficulty or obstacle.

On the contrary, knowing such conditions made him feel a little happy.

After all, as long as you can kill those evil creatures hiding in the dark, the level of the auto-switch panel can be pushed up steadily. In this vast world, the number of such dark creatures is innumerable.

Of course, there is a key prerequisite here – that is, he himself must be strong enough to deal with these potential threats.

Once he truly possesses the power to fight off everything, all the dark monsters in the entire dark land will become his prey.

Moreover, as the number of dark monsters he kills continues to increase, the level of the hang-up panel will also rise, and his pace of improving his own strength will inevitably become faster.

But at the moment, the most urgent thing he needs to do is to calm down and wait quietly for his own strength to be gradually enhanced.

Because at this moment, his strength is still at a relatively weak stage, far from the level where he can take risks rashly.

You know, with this unique ability in his hands, as long as he is given enough time, he will surely thrive in time.

If you blindly embark on an adventure just to pursue faster growth, you will most likely pay a heavy price in pain or even lose your precious life.

Therefore, for now, he must remain calm and composed, and move forward steadily step by step.

In the following time, Yang Bei continued to cut down black iron trees in the black iron tree forest, but he also kept an eye on the movements of the black rats.

Based on his observations over this period of time, he could confirm that there were quite a few black rats in the Dark Forest.

But this black rat is only the lowest level monster in the Dark Forest.

Basically there is no great danger and it is actually a very good resource.

So while cutting trees, Yang Bei used his power to sense the presence of black rats, as long as he could sense the presence of black rats.

He would deliberately approach the black rat, and when the black rat came to his door, he would kill it with an axe while chopping down the tree.

Kill the black rat easily.

However, after killing black rats in this covert way for a while, Yang Bei only killed 10 black rats and gained some experience. If he wanted to upgrade the level of the hang-up panel, he would need to kill ninety black rats.

This speed is still too slow.

It seems that if he wants to upgrade the level of the auto-switch panel as soon as possible, get in touch with more power in this world, and kill those dark monsters as soon as possible, he still has to reveal some of his strength as soon as possible and officially join this village.

Those of them who have no cultivation can only be considered marginal figures in this village. Only after they have acquired cultivation, they are considered to have some power and will be recognized by the village as official members.

By becoming a formal member, you may be able to access more information and power.

Zhou Qing told him to come back to find him after he condensed the first dark spirit vein.

Then the situation is already obvious.

It just so happens that it’s about the same time now.

A third dark spiritual vein has condensed in his body, and his physical fitness has been improved again. The dark magic power in his body has also increased to 300.

If he wants to condense the fourth dark spiritual vein in his body, he will need 4 days.

If the level of the auto-attack panel can be improved, the speed may be faster.

Now let’s go find Zhou Qing first.

Soon Yang Bei returned to the village and found Zhou Qing.

“Have you completed the breakthrough?”

Zhou Qing was also a little surprised when he heard the news. He didn’t expect Yang Bei to break through so quickly.

However, after confirming it, Zhou Qing continued speaking.

“Now that you have made the breakthrough, you have three directions to choose from.”

“Spiritual farmer, fisherman, hunter.”

“Which of these three directions do you want to choose?”

“Can I know the specific details?”

“You have now made a breakthrough, of course.” (End of this chapter)
