Chapter 641: Traveling Together

"In other words, this is a monster composed of rock.

It doesn't sound like a living organism; does it have any value? Why hunt this kind of monster?"

In this small town, most of the monster-related quests posted require obtaining a specific part from the monster.

And these parts are, without exception, very useful.

But a core stone—and the core of a monster made of rock at that—what use could it possibly have?

This made Qin Feng somewhat curious.

Moreover, it didn't look like a task that could be completed easily.

Otherwise, these three little brats wouldn't have come to ask Qin Feng for help.

After all, there were already three of them; it wasn't as if they were in a one-on-one duel.

Therefore, the strength of this Rock Monster should be quite decent.

"Also, how is the strength of this Rock Monster?"

Ding-dong, the player has asked a question, and the system provides an answer.

【The Rock Monster has no medicinal or recycling value.

Therefore, it is not popular.

However, they will indiscriminately hunt all living creatures in their vicinity, destroying flora, fauna, and the land.

They cause significant ecological damage.

Thus, humans spare no effort in exterminating Rock Monsters.

But because Rock Monsters are composed of rock and soil, they are considered monsters naturally generated by the world.

They do not possess the ability to reproduce.

Yet they can be born from nature at any time and in any place.

Therefore, humans have never been able to eradicate the Rock Monsters.

The strength of Rock Monsters varies greatly.

It is usually determined by the size of the mountain range or land, and whether there are precious items within it.

Given the scale and desolation of Huangmai Mountain, the Rock Monsters here should not exceed Tier 3 or Tier 4 at most.】

The system had already provided a very detailed answer.

And Qin Feng didn't mind making this trip.

"Since that's the case, it's a deal."

Having made his decision, Qin Feng nodded naturally.

He agreed with the little girl in a crisp and decisive manner.

He didn't even mention anything about rewards.

After all, although Qin Feng didn't care much about the rewards the little girl offered because the system had already issued a quest and provided a very substantial reward,

human psychology is quite interesting.

If you don't ask for any benefits and are still willing to help others,

and you are a stranger to them,

then the other party is very likely to suspect you have ulterior motives, and instead, they won't trust you or be willing to cooperate with you.

Upon receiving Qin Feng's affirmation, the little girl was very happy and immediately led Qin Feng away from the agency.

Her other two companions were waiting at the entrance of the agency; it was clear that the three of them had been eyeing Qin Feng for quite some distance.

It was just that because his strength had weakened, his five senses weren't as sharp.

So, even though Qin Feng had seen them on the same path earlier, he hadn't noticed they were actually tracking him.

After all, there were plenty of people going to the shops, and many going to the agency to buy horses.

One couldn't assume everyone on the same path was tracking him.

However, Qin Feng didn't take this to heart.

When he grew stronger in the future, his five senses would continue to sharpen, and by then, he would be more vigilant toward the gazes of others.

As long as someone fixed their gaze upon him, he would be able to sense it.

He might even be able to judge whether the other party was harboring good or ill intentions through their gaze.

Of course, that was a matter for the distant future.

Qin Feng didn't count on having such strength suddenly.

The two companions with the little girl were both boys.

And they weren't very old.

One was about the same age as the little girl, and the other was around eighteen or nineteen.

Through the age difference between the three, Qin Feng could also deduce that

for this kind of primary cultivation school, the graduation age of students might not be fixed.

Their academic system shouldn't be fixed either.

Instead, they were likely only allowed to graduate after meeting certain conditions or reaching a certain level of strength.

Perhaps some could graduate at thirteen or fourteen, while others might not graduate until their twenties.

Some might even be unable to graduate from the academy for their entire lives.

This was all very normal.

Since the quest content was to protect the girl from being killed by a traitor and to kill the traitor,

and her only companions were these two, it proved that the traitor was one of them.

Although he didn't know who it was, there were only two of them after all.

As long as Qin Feng paid a little attention, it shouldn't be a problem.

As for their strength,

although in this real world, a powerhouse couldn't see the strength level of someone lower than themselves like in a game,

one could still make a partial judgment of a person's strength through their posture, movements, and aura.

Of course, such a judgment wasn't necessarily accurate.

After entering the carriage and traveling together, the four of them could be considered temporary companions, so they exchanged names.

Qin Feng only stated his name, age, and strength level.

After all, Qin Feng's strength lay in his combat techniques, not his level.

So, whether he stated his strength level or not didn't matter.

His trump card wasn't his level, so there was no need to hide it.

Since the three of them had all stated theirs, Qin Feng didn't need to keep it secret; doing so would only make him stand out.

After all, the three of them had already spoken, so there was no need for Qin Feng to keep it a secret. It would only be more likely to attract attention.
