I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 365 - The Growth of His Men Hidden Concerns


In the following days, Qin Tian did not venture out alone again; instead, he presided over the Crimson Gold Battle Group, leading everyone in a series of overwhelming purges.The front lines continuously expanded, and one by one, the Demon Caves were uprooted, along with the three demonic rifts that spewed demonic energy, which were also completely destroyed.The morale of the entire Battle Group soared, and their admiration and awe for Regiment Commander Qin reached their peak.The warriors witnessed firsthand how the Rank Six Demon, which once filled them with fear and despair, often met their end with a single strike from Regiment Commander Qin's blade; occasionally, if they encountered a creature with peculiar bloodline abilities, it wouldn't last more than three strikes before becoming a casualty of his blade.With such a War God holding down the fort, the Crimson Gold Battle Group attacked every Demon Cave as if entering an uninhabited land, sweeping away everything in their path.Everyone's military merits skyrocketed like a snowball, reaching an unimaginable abundance—many privately calculated that by the time this wave of battles ended, a two-rank promotion would not be an extravagant hope.A leader who could both sweep away powerful enemies and continuously lead his brothers to achieve merits naturally earned the most sincere support.As for Qin Tian, the objectives of his journey to the Demon Suppression Abyss were steadily progressing: first, harvesting evolution points and talents to strengthen the Night Demon King and the Great Wilderness Battle Body, which was now mostly complete; second, using war to foster war and enhance the strength of his subordinates, which also yielded significant results.Li Qi, needless to say, saw his strength advance by leaps and bounds after his bloodline evolution.Bear, in the midst of slaughter, completely unleashed the Half-Beast's savage nature; his usual honest (honest and simple) demeanor was gone, replaced by a blood-soaked beast. His physical body and Spiritual Energy were becoming increasingly formidable through countless refinements, subtly showing signs of breaking through to Rank 6—it was just that the demonic energy in the Demon Suppression Abyss was too dense, making it unsuitable for breaking through. Once he left, with a little resource assistance, the breakthrough would be a matter of course.Poison Widow's bloodline talent was not top-tier, but fortunately, she met Qin Tian.Based on her physique, Qin Tian continuously supplied her with suitable poisons, which not only dramatically improved her poison manipulation but also refined her control over spider silk.She was now a top-tier expert among Rank 5s, and due to the stealth of her poison abilities, her threat from the shadows far exceeded that of the front lines.The fastest to improve was Terrida's Barbarian unit.They did not rely on Spiritual Energy, fighting purely with their physical bodies, and were thus least affected by the dense demonic energy in the Demon Suppression Abyss.Even better, they could use the blood of powerful creatures to draw totem tattoos, thereby enhancing their strength and awakening new abilities.Many warriors had now tattooed fire totems using the blood of demons from the Infernal Demon Sea, not only making their physiques stronger but also mastering various fire combat techniques, increasing their combat power severalfold.Even the Old Ghost, who was subdued most recently, saw a turning point.This Rank 6 Soul Master never pledged allegiance to any force, naturally lacked resources, and had a weak foundation. He had exhausted almost all his potential to painstakingly advance to Rank 6.To progress further, he needed a continuous accumulation of resources, but as a lone wolf, Old Ghost had neither money nor channels, so his strength had stagnated for years.However, Qin Tian did not lack these—the soul elixirs and treasures stockpiled in the Yin Space were countless.Just a few elixirs given to him by Qin Tian caused Old Ghost's soul power to forcibly increase by one rank; if all resources were exhausted, another two ranks would be effortless.As the combat power of his subordinates grew daily, Qin Tian's own evolution points also continued to surge. Everything seemed to be moving in the most ideal direction. Yet, a few perceptive individuals gradually noticed that the solemnity in the Regiment Commander's brows had not dissipated; instead, it grew heavier day by day, and in his deep eyes, there was always a hint of an unspoken worry.The wind outside the tent carried sand across the canvas, making a rustling sound.As Poison Widow entered, carrying a food tray and lifting the curtain, she saw Li Qi standing in the tent.She had changed into a neat, short outfit today. The recent battles had stripped away some excess flesh from her originally plump figure, making her features appear more refined. As she bent to place the meal tray, the curve of her waist became even more breathtaking."Boss, dinner is ready," she placed the warm food container on the table, her gaze subtly sweeping over Li Qi, carrying a hint of imperceptible probing.After putting down the meal tray, she did not withdraw as usual; instead, she stood with her hands at her sides beside Qin Tian, her fingertips gently twisting the hem of her clothes, her eyes constantly darting towards Li Qi.Seeing her like this, Qin Tian couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, stop pretending."He looked up at Li Qi, then glanced at Poison Widow: "You two want to ask the same thing, so I'll tell you both at once.""Thank you, Boss," Poison Widow immediately responded with a smile, moving a few steps to sit on Qin Tian's other side, and carefully refilled Qin Tian's empty cup with hot tea.Qin Tian's gaze fell on Poison Widow, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. As a woman, her appearance and figure were already striking. To gain a foothold and even climb to the position of captain in a place like the Hundred Hunt Star Pirates, where the strong prey on the weak, she relied on more than just her considerable strength and her formidable poison abilities.The subtle and adaptable spirit within her, and her skill in reading people, must have also helped her a great deal.He had deliberately suppressed the hidden worries in his heart these past few days, thinking he had hidden them deeply enough, but he didn't expect Li Qi and she to keenly perceive them.Qin Tian took a sip of hot tea. As the warm tea slid down his throat, he looked ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ up at the two and slowly began, "These days, have you noticed any abnormalities with the demons?"Li Qi and Poison Widow exchanged a glance, then both shook their heads simultaneously: "No."Qin Tian was not surprised. The subtle fluctuations of demonic energy were something ordinary Spiritual Energy Users could not perceive; only the demons themselves, or beings with his special physique, could catch that hint of abnormality.He put down his teacup and no longer beat around the bush: "The demons are becoming frenzied. But this frenzy is different from the completely uncontrolled madness during a demonic tide; this time, it's more like a ravenous beast, the kind of agitated and greedy excitement it feels when it smells prey."Li Qi's brows instantly furrowed. He prided himself on his observational skills, yet he had been completely unaware of the abnormality Qin Tian spoke of.On second thought, perhaps it was because the Crimson Gold Battle Group's recent operations had been too smooth, crushing opponents with overwhelming force in every engagement. Those demons didn't even have a chance to breathe under their blades, so who would notice if they were more agitated than usual?"Boss means—the Infernal Demon Sea is about to get chaotic?" Poison Widow's fingertips tightened slightly as she asked softly.Qin Tian's eyes were grave, and he slowly shook his head: "Hard to say. It could be a new demonic tide coming, or it could be a precursor to other changes."If it were a demonic tide, the various Battle Groups already had mature response mechanisms, so there wouldn't be too much to worry about.But what was most troublesome now was this "unknown"—why did the demonic energy in the environment fluctuate in strength? And where did the demons' frenzy originate?The unknown is what is most frightening."Then what should we do next?" Li Qi asked in a deep voice, his tone already carrying a hint of gravity.Qin Tian took a deep breath and said word by word, "Prepare thoroughly. I have a feeling that the final decisive battle is probably not far off."As the words "decisive battle" fell, Li Qi and Poison Widow both trembled sharply, and a look of surprise flashed across their faces simultaneously.
