I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 176 - Return to the Dark Forest


The Black Gate opened, and Qin Tian, Vinoia, and Serandil safely returned to the Elf Forest.“We’re back.”Breathing in the fresh air of the forest, Serandil’s anxious heart finally settled.Vinoia patted Serandil’s hand, motioning for him to put her down.Once her feet touched the ground, Vinoia bowed to Qin Tian and said in human language, “Thank you.”Vinoia knew very well how incredible this rescue had been.Even the Qingyu Tribe wouldn’t send people into the Dark Forest.However, in her most desperate moment, Serandil and this Death God Sniper risked their lives to enter the Dark Forest and rescue her.She would forever remember this kindness.Qin Tian nodded and said, “Actually, the one you should thank most is Serandil. If he hadn’t offered me an irresistible condition, begging me to save you, I wouldn’t have entered the Dark Forest.”Hearing this, Vinoia turned to look at Serandil, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes.Before, she had always thought Serandil was an immature, cowardly, and failed crown prince who only solved problems by escaping. If the royal family were handed to him, the Elf Race would surely be swallowed by the Dark Elves in the future.However, after this incident, she realized that she didn’t seem to understand this fiancé at all.When her parents had given up on her, Serandil would risk being captured to save her.When facing hundreds of Dark Elves, Serandil was fearless, powerfully slaying many enemies.He was brave, fearless, calm, strong, and gentle—completely different from the Serandil in her impression.“Ser…”“Ahaha, no need to thank me, we’re friends after all.”Serandil covered Vinoia’s mouth and laughed, though his laughter seemed to carry a hint of guilt and embarrassment.Qin Tian glanced at Serandil and said lightly, “Serandil, you take your friend back first.”On the word “friend,” Qin Tian’s tone was slightly heavier.Serandil blinked. “What about you?”“Me?”Qin Tian turned his head to look in the direction of the Dark Forest. “I still have some things I need to do.”The previous Explosion must have caused chaos in the Dark Forest. Now might be the best time for him to harvest evolution points amidst the confusion.Additionally, he needed to make some preparations, striving to replicate the last “burning the nest” incident.“You’re going back into the Dark Forest.”Serandil saw through Qin Tian’s thoughts and immediately tried to dissuade him: “Qin Tian, the Dark Forest is too dangerous. I know you have spatial abilities, but what if you encounter a stronger enemy? You might not even have a chance to use your abilities.”“Also, no matter how many enemies you kill in the Dark Forest, the Elf Race won’t be able to count your merits. Wouldn’t that be for nothing? Just give up.”Qin Tian knew Serandil was worried about his safety, but to him, the Dark Forest, which others regarded as a forbidden zone, was a slaughterhouse where he could freely harvest evolution points.Without Serandil and Vinoia holding him back, he could fully unleash all his methods, striving to accumulate enough evolution points for the Savage Overlord Body this time.“Don’t worry, you should be very familiar with my style; I don’t fight battles I’m not confident in.”Qin Tian patted Serandil’s shoulder: “Moreover, this time, I might have a chance to help the Elves eliminate future troubles forever by completely destroying the Dark Nest.”What!Hearing this, Serandil’s eyes suddenly widened, revealing a look of pleasant surprise.After many days of getting along, in his eyes, Qin Tian was a mysterious, powerful, steady, and seemingly omnipotent person.He had countless abilities and could bring a strong sense of security to others at any time.Since Qin Tian said so, he must have a preliminary plan in mind.~The Black Gate opened, and Qin Tian stepped inside. Just as the Black Gate was about to close, a faint voice echoed.“Kid, don’t forget your promise.”The Black Gate closed, and Serandil looked in the direction of the Dark Forest, softly saying,“Don’t worry, I will definitely fulfill my promise.”“I swear on the honor of the Elf royal family.”Snap ~With both feet firmly on the ground, Qin Tian stood on the border between the Elf Forest and the Dark Forest. His senses spread out, clearly capturing scents, heat sources, and sounds, drawing a biological hotspot map. “It seems this commotion is quite significant ~”Qin Tian’s lips curved into a slight smile. Within his perception, groups of Dark Elves or Black Beasts were rushing towards the border, perhaps to investigate the situation, or perhaps to intercept him.However, the more of them there were, the more satisfied Qin Tian was.Whoosh ~The light around Qin Tian’s body twisted, and he entered an invisible state, his aura contained. He gripped Hidden Kill and charged into the Dark Forest.“Quick, go check over there.”Morro directed the Black Beasts, while he himself stood still, his gaze scanning his surroundings.A few towering pillars of fire had just erupted in the Dark Forest. The Battle Commander had ordered all units to deploy and blockade the area around the incident.As a third-order Dark Elf, Morro was a mid-level officer, with several Black Beasts and Dark Elves under his command.However, just by looking at the intensity of the fire pillars, Morro knew this wasn’t something he could get involved in.So, he dispersed his subordinates and remained in place himself, to avoid getting burned.After his subordinates left, Morro leaned against a tree trunk and began to ponder.“This must be the work of a human Spiritual Energy User, right? What does he want to do in the Dark Forest?”Since Kaierlan’s subordinates had all been burned to death, and Kaierlan himself couldn’t immediately tell others what had happened, the Dark Elves still didn’t know what exactly had occurred.“Forget it, whatever it is, it’s none of my business.”Morro crossed his arms and said faintly, “I just need to survive.”No sooner had he spoken than Morro suddenly felt that something was off around him; it seemed too quiet.He straightened up, his gaze vigilantly scanning his surroundings, but before he could discover anything, a sharp pain shot through the back of his head, and his vision went black. He immediately fell unconscious.Behind him, a figure appeared out of thin air.Qin Tian pressed one hand on the forehead of the Dark Elf in front of him, then activated his ability—Soul Imprint.Vast spiritual power poured into the sea of souls. Qin Tian could “see” that the Dark Elf’s ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) soul had been infected by evil energy, murky and impure. Fortunately, the Soul Imprint was unaffected by this.An ancient, simple mark was left within the soul, signifying that Qin Tian had acquired another “guide.”Spiritual power materialized into a needle, pricking Morro awake.Morro opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar human man in front of him. Just as he was about to shout, a powerful spiritual pressure suddenly descended, causing his body to stiffen. He then knelt on the ground and respectfully said,“Master.”Qin Tian looked down at Guide Number Two. The previous Dark Elf, Ai Nila, had been sent elsewhere. If he wanted to destroy the First Battle Group’s stronghold next, he might have to rely on the one in front of him.
