If he cannot control his body temperature well, he is bound to be exposed prematurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Qin Tian immediately invested 300 Evolution Points to upgrade the Talent [Cold Blood]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white orb trembled slightly, and soon a touch of new green appeared within the orb, occupying the entire space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name] Thermosense Control (Green)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Type] Active Talent\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Introduction] You can autonomously adjust your body temperature to blend with the external environment, your aura significantly concealed, with an extremely keen perception of surrounding heat sources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Qin Tian felt his body change; he could easily control his blood flow, his pores contraction, and his body temperature rose and fell with his thoughts, allowing him to merge perfectly with the environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but in his perception, everything was emitting heat, including the soil underfoot, the rocks, the vegetation, as if an additional infrared sensor was inside his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I made the right bet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Tian’s eyes showed a hint of joy.

Several Snake-men lazily wagged their tails, moving slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake-man at the front held a Luminous Pearl, faintly illuminating the dim environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, I’ve never understood, what use does Lord Egger have for capturing those humans?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the Snake-men voiced a question that had been pent-up for days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake-man leader turned around to look at him, a hint of coldness and sharpness in his yellow snake pupils. The questioning Snake-man suddenly felt a chill through his body and quickly lowered his head, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake-man leader withdrew his gaze and said lightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t. Talk too much, and beware of being thrown into the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the name Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes, all the Snake-men present couldn’t help but shiver, a trace of fear appearing in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Continue the patrol.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake-man leader captured the expressions of his subordinates, snorted coldly, and continued to lead the patrol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he walked very slowly, like a human taking a leisurely post-meal stroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, this cave was extremely hidden, accidentally discovered by a Snake-man, with no creatures able to infiltrate this place for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he gradually relaxed his vigilance, making daily patrols just a formality, going through the motions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shush shush~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake scales scraped the ground, making a rustling sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Snake-man leader walked, he realized that the surroundings were getting quieter, with only his own sounds audible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake-man leader turned around but found no one behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, he quickly tightened his grip on his steel saber, cautiously moving forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After turning a corner, the Snake-man leader halted, his yellow snake eyes suddenly contracting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the straight tunnel, the Snake-man guards lay on the ground, spaced apart, with a blood hole in the back of each head, thick fluid seeping out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What terrified the Snake-man leader was that he had not noticed when the Snake-man guards behind him had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a sense of immense fear enveloped him, the scales on his neck opening and closing slightly in fright, making faint scraping sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you looking for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An icy and unfamiliar voice sounded behind him, the Snake-man leader suddenly felt a chill down his spine, instinctively wanting to turn around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh, a sharp object violently pierced into the back of his head, his body stiffened, then slowly collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fifty-sixth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Tian laid the Snake-man leader flat on the ground, took a cloth from the Spatial Bag, and wiped the stains off the Military Dagger, to avoid exposure due to the scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment he entered the cave until now, he had killed 56 Snake-men, using the same method, silently appearing behind the Snake-men through Shadow Jump, then stabbing the Military Dagger into the back of the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His actions were quick and ruthless, the faint sounds he made overshadowed by the noise of snake scales scraping against the ground, thus encountering no obstruction throughout the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, using Shadow Jump repeatedly made him feel somewhat fatigued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The superpower consumes physical strength and spiritual power, though his physical strength is abundant, his spiritual training has just begun, and now there is a slight pain in his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, through powerful smell, hearing, and thermal perception, he finally found the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Tian proceeded along the tunnel, making not a sound, like a ghost. Moments later, a light appeared ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cautiously approached it, holding his breath, his body temperature synchronized with the surrounding rock, seeming to merge with the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead was a dead-end tunnel, he lay on the ground peering down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the confluence of several tunnels, a pool lay quietly. The pool, irregular and round, with ghostly black waters, like a deep mirror reflecting no light, yet exuded a piercing cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the pool stood a tall Snake-man, its features leaning masculine, with hair a seductive purple, its scales glittering like diamonds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the Snake-man, there were two humans, one kneeling on the ground, another nailed to a cross, covered in blood, with a mutilated left hand half severed by a sharp blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing their faces clearly, Qin Tian’s heart jolted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was actually them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1246,"2026-05-29T04:30:56.252Z","2026-06-01T04:29:09.187Z",1,"novelbin.me","1c3bb1018402815920e90fc80a098183cc6dbc6f3e76a5ec94065ed38ab1e539","i-pick-up-talents-on-the-interstellar-battlefiel-chapter-39","i-pick-up-talents-on-the-interstellar-battlefiel-chapter-37",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-pick-up-talents-on-the-interstellar-battlefiel-cover.jpg"]
