I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 154 - Dark Druid


Five giant wolves lunged forward; three went for Alan, and the remaining two charged straight at Qin Tian.“Heh, looking down on me?”Qin Tian pushed off with both knees, his body seeming to flash, instantly disappearing before the Black Beasts.Bang!Bang!Two heads exploded, leaving only one Black Beast in front of Alan.Evolution Points +2344Evolution Points +1890“Tier 3 Evil Beast.”Qin Tian’s eyes flashed as he watched the two Black Beasts below climb the tree to pursue him. He pulled the trigger repeatedly, ending their lives.Thud, thud. Two wolf corpses fell heavily.Qin Tian stood on the tree, raised his sniper rifle, and silently observed the battle.The Black Beast Alan faced was the largest of the five, with the most formidable evil energy. It appeared to be a Tier 4 Evil Beast.The Black Beast had extreme explosive power; its claws and teeth were its sharpest weapons, and evil energy surged on its black fur, making its defense quite formidable.An ordinary Tier 4 Spiritual Energy User might not even be a match for the Black Beast.However, Alan’s performance against the Black Beast greatly surprised Qin Tian.His Spiritual Energy User level was quite high, at least Tier 4 high-stage. His movements were agile, and his swordsmanship was nimble. It was clear he had received very professional training, likely from a prestigious family.However, Alan’s problem was also evident: he lacked practical combat experience. Many times, he had opportunities to end the battle directly but failed to seize them. Instead, he was intimidated by the Black Beast’s fierce and violent state after being injured, appearing hesitant.This was a common problem for all newcomers.However, when these issues appeared in a Tier 4 Spiritual Energy User, it was quite rare.Whoosh!!!The wolf’s claws tore down, and the dark evil energy was like burning flames, carrying astonishing heat and oppressive force.Alan noticed the Black Beast’s abdomen open. He could have burst forward and stabbed his sword directly into the Black Beast’s chest. However, he worried that if he failed, he would be hit by the Black Beast’s claw.He hesitated, not choosing an aggressive approach. Instead, he exerted force with his feet and dodged the Black Beast’s giant claw by sidestepping.However, the Black Beast was unexpectedly cunning. Its previous claw attack was merely a feint. As Alan dodged, its wolf tail whipped out like a lash, directly striking Alan.Bang!His slightly thin figure flew backward, crashing heavily against a large tree. The tree shook, and leaves fell everywhere.“Cough~”Alan coughed, expelling the stifled air from his body. With a protective treasure on him, he was not injured, and the pain was much lighter than expected. However, the Black Beast’s attack completely ignited his fighting spirit.Looking at the dark shadow lunging toward him, Alan gritted his teeth, and a blue light suddenly appeared on his sword.Clang~~The sword body vibrated, and the blue light and dark shadow briefly intersected before immediately separating.Alan held his sword with one hand, sliding over ten meters on the ground. Leaves flew outward. The Black Beast landed on the ground and took a few steps forward.Then, thud!!!A huge gash opened on the Black Beast’s side, and blood and internal organs gushed out. The Black Beast whimpered, then knelt on the ground with a thud, its eyes slowly closing.Alan turned his head and looked at the lifeless corpse. His heart was filled with a huge sense of accomplishment and joy, and he cheered loudly:“I won! I killed it!”“What’s there to be excited about killing an enemy much weaker than you?”Qin Tian jumped down from the tree and said indifferently:“You had at least five opportunities to end the battle directly, but your hesitation let those opportunities slip away repeatedly. This Black Beast was weaker than you, so you had room for error. But if you face an enemy stronger than you, do you think you’ll still have a chance to hesitate?”Upon hearing this, the warmth in Alan’s heart was instantly doused with a bucket of cold water, and the smile on his face disappeared.“But it’s my first time killing an enemy, isn’t it? Can’t I even be excited?”Alan lowered his head and mumbled softly.“Will enemies intentionally go easy on you because you’re a novice?”Qin Tian tapped Alan’s forehead and said coldly:“Quickly calm down. The next wave of enemies is coming soon.”“Oh~”Alan rubbed his head, then gripped his longsword and looked forward, a mix of anticipation and fervor welling up in his heart.Come on, the more the merrier. I will forge my path as a warrior with your blood and souls.Violent Bears, Giant Wolves, Crows, Dark Elves—Qin Tian and Alan defended their territory, killing wave after wave of enemies. The battle lasted from morning until noon. Nearly a hundred enemies died by his gun, and his Evolution Points surged by 230,000, totaling close to 600,000.During this process, Alan also grew rapidly. His swordsmanship was no longer rigid and academic but quickly incorporated the simplicity and ruthlessness of the battlefield. When facing Tier 4 Evil Beasts, he could kill his opponents with relative ease.Even when facing the brave and skilled Dark Elves, he displayed considerable tenacity, increasingly exhibiting the demeanor of a warrior.Pfft!Alan plunged his sword into the Black Beast’s back of the head, took a few deep breaths, then raised his chin, seemingly showing off as he looked at Qin Tian,“Qin Tian, how was that sword strike just now? Wasn’t it cool!”“Just so-so. You could have solved the opponent more simply, but you just had to show off your swordsmanship.”Qin Tian said indifferently, “But overall, your progress is significant, and that’s worth encouraging.”In his opinion, Alan’s talent was outstanding. He could not only overcome psychological barriers in a short period but also quickly absorb lessons and make up for his shortcomings in a series of battles. He was undoubtedly a true genius.Of course, he wouldn’t say these words out loud, lest the kid get too full of himself.“Hehe.”Alan heard the approval in Qin Tian’s words, and a smile bloomed on his face.From childhood, he had been accustomed to praise and compliments from those around him. However, when words of affirmation came from Qin Tian’s mouth, he felt an inner joy and sense of accomplishment.Why he felt this way, he couldn’t quite explain, but unknowingly, Qin Tian seemed to have become a significant person in his life.“Qin Tian, have you noticed that the frequency of Evil Beasts appearing is getting lower and lower?”Alan said, “I think today’s battle is about to end. We’ve completed our mission, haven’t we?”“Currently, that seems to be the case.”Qin Tian glanced at the mountains of corpses piled around. At least in the area they were responsible for, no Evil Beast could pass safely. As for other areas, that wasn’t his concern.“So, will we also receive battle merit rewards?” Alan’s eyes were full of anticipation.“Mm.”Qin Tian looked up. Several kingfishers were circling above. They were the elves’ eyes and battlefield information gatherers. Whatever anyone did, how many enemies they killed, would be accurately transmitted to the elves via the kingfishers, ensuring the fairness of battle merits.This was similar to the Empire’s Battlefield Heavenly Eye.Just then, Qin Tian suddenly heard a disturbance from one side, and the sound was getting closer and closer, as if some extremely fast-moving creature was approaching.“Alan, prepare for battle!”Qin Tian said in a low voice.Alan instantly became alert, ready for battle.Tree shadows swayed, and then a Black Panther appeared before them. Its body was agile, treading on black wind. There were several deep, bone-visible wounds on its side and hind leg. At first glance, it looked like a common demonized Black Beasts, but its pair of dark blue eyes lacked the Black Beasts’ ferocity and cruelty; instead, they held a hint of vigilance.“This is—”Alan felt a familiar yet strange power fluctuation from the Black Panther. He narrowed his eyes, instantly remembering something, and said loudly:“Be careful, he is a Dark Druid!”Five giant wolves lunged forward; three went for Alan, and the remaining two charged straight at Qin Tian.“Heh, looking down on me?”Qin Tian pushed off with both knees, his body seeming to flash, instantly disappearing before the Black Beasts.Bang!Bang!Two heads exploded, leaving only one Black Beast in front of Alan.Evolution Points +2344Evolution Points +1890“Tier 3 Evil Beast.”Qin Tian’s eyes flashed as he watched the two Black Beasts below climb the tree to pursue him.
