Chapter 3: Alex Slayer's First Steps into the Wild

After a while, the powerful Jack Wilson was killed.

He was killed by the weakest level 1 beast.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Survival in this world was much more difficult than they imagined.

Soon, a faint smell of blood came from outside the village.

It was Jack Wilson's blood.

It reminded everyone that this game really kills people.

Everyone was terrified.

At this time, the Heavenly Voice prompt sounded again.

[Reminder: Level 1 beasts are rated 3 stars, level 2 beasts are 4 stars, level 3 beasts are 5 stars, and so on.]

[The evaluation of combat power is based on the four-dimensional index, which does not include talent ability.]

[Reminder: The novice village has a protective shield, and the beasts outside cannot enter, but after the novice protection period, they can enter.]

Hearing these prompts, everyone panicked completely.

"Everyone, we can't wait to die here! We must kill monsters and level up, or we will die!"

"Team up! Let's form teams! There is strength in numbers!"

"That's right! Those who are willing to form a team, come to my side. Everyone shows their attributes and talents, so we can work together!"

"Makes sense!"

The crowd joined in.

Soon, everyone started teaming up with each other.

John Walker, who has C-level talent, naturally became the most popular target.

More than a dozen people with D-level talent were also sought after.

Alex Slayer watched all this silently, indifferent.

To form a team, he needed to show his attributes and talents, but he didn't want to expose his trump card.

Soon, a thousand or so people formed groups of two hundred or so and set off.

A quarter of an hour later, Alex was the only one left in the square, and fierce fighting sounded at the village entrance.

Soon, the sound of fighting stopped.

Humans, being numerous and powerful, had killed the beasts at the entrance.

After a while, the noise at the entrance also disappeared.

Alex knew those teams were gone.

He should act too.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, carried his steel knife, and walked towards the village entrance.

After passing through the shield, he saw the situation outside.

Outside was a meadow, with mountains and forests in the distance, and a river.

There were weeds and shrubs everywhere, some over a meter high, full of primitive wildness.

A breeze blew, carrying a thick smell of blood.

It reminded him that this was a world full of killing, and his life could be lost at any time.

He gripped the knife handle nervously and looked around carefully.

When he felt there was no danger around him, he moved forward cautiously.

Not long after, he saw Jack Wilson's corpse.

Jack's chest was sunken, his stomach was cut open by the beast's claws, and his internal organs spilled out. The scene was so gruesome it was hard to look at.

Alex looked terrified.

He bit the bullet, came to the corpse, and endured the strong smell of blood, placing one hand on Jack's body...

Om~!

His palm lit up with a white light...

[Endless extraction success! Obtained the D-level talent - Power Madness!]

Power Madness!

Ha ha!

Alex was ecstatic.

This endless extraction is awesome!

He actually extracted Jack's innate ability.

He quickly checked his talent column.

[Talent]: Endless extraction (SSS level), power madness (D level).

[Power madness: strength talent, strength tripled!]

Sure enough, he had an extra talent.

His strength index was 8 points, and with the Power Madness talent, it equaled a 24-point strength index for others.

This made his energy soar!

"It turns out endless extraction works like this!"

Alex was full of expectations for the future.

Having said that, Jack Wilson's strength was not weak, but his speed and defense were not as good as the beasts.

It seems that to become stronger, one needs to develop in a balanced way, without weaknesses.

"Huh! That's..."

At this time, Alex found a beast corpse lying in the grass more than ten meters ahead.

He walked over quickly and found it was a huge rabbit, 1.5 meters long, with gray fur and two blood-colored fangs.

It was a level 1 beast, the Blood Tooth Rabbit, and the killer of Jack Wilson.

However, it had been beaten to death by the humans who came later, and half of its head was chopped to pieces.

Alex didn't care about that; he walked forward quickly and put one hand on the Blood Tooth Rabbit...

Om~!

White light flashed!

A gentle energy transferred from the Blood Tooth Rabbit to his body.

He suddenly felt warm all over, and his strength increased.

[Endless extraction success! Gained 2 Strength Attributes!]

So cool!

He actually got 2 strength attribute points!

His strength index now reached 10 points, the normal value for an adult.

However, with his strength talent, his strength tripled, equivalent to a 30-point strength index for others.

By the way, can these corpses be extracted multiple times?

With a thought, he activated his talent again...

[Endless extraction failed!]

[Reminder: Targets below level 20 reach the upper limit after being successfully extracted once.]

I see!

Alex understood.

Continue!

He would keep looking for new corpses!

Continue the endless extraction!

The teams that left should have hunted many beasts.

Following their route, he should still be able to pick up the bodies.

Thinking of this, Alex turned quickly, came to Jack Wilson's body, and picked up the rusted novice short knife.

This novice short knife was used by everyone as transitional equipment, and no one cherished it.

But in Alex's hands, he could turn waste into treasure.

Thinking of this, he stroked the blade, and his palm lit up with white light.

[Endless extraction success! You have extracted the rust and residue from the novice short knife, promoting it to a refined steel knife.]

[Exquisite Steel Knife: Attack Power +5, Tier 1 item.]

Good! Good!

He got another tier 1 piece of equipment.

This harvest felt so wonderful!

Carrying a pair of knives, he looked around and found more than a dozen routes.

He chose the one with the most footprints and followed it...
