Chapter 3: Creatures From The Rift: Razor-Fanged Infants

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qin Feng pushed Zhou Hao aside and swung a fist at the razor-fanged infant.
He was much slower than the monster, yet as if by coincidence, when he threw the punch, the razor-fanged infant came towards its head first.
Bam!
It sounded like the squishing of a grand, big, juicy watermelon. Red and greyish brain matter splattered everywhere.
Qin Feng frowned at this—not because the scene was too gruesome but the flesh on his knuckles that had been ripped off by the force of that strike.
Too weak! Qin Feng could not remember the last time he possessed such a frail and puny body.
But when he narrowed his eyes slightly, his tea-colored iris darkened as dark as night; an invisible strength came through the monster infant’s body into his.
The wound on his hand quickly turned into a scab. It shed off, completely healing itself as if he had never been injured in the first place.
This was Qin Feng’s talent!
Absorption!
Qin Feng’s expression was a mixture of surprise and excitement!
He recalled how in his past life, he thought that he was invincible as his abilities had been awakened. He had been so excited that he had announced it to the world. In the end, his talent had been robbed from him and was only left with the ability to absorb dead monsters’ self-strengthening abilities. That little bit of power had barely helped him to survive.
Right now, his talent was not destroyed. Did that mean that he was much stronger?
Qin Feng could feel that after he absorbed the energy from the razor-fanged infant, his physical body had gotten a lot tougher. A total of ten razor-fanged infants could at least boost his physique to G2 tier.
If that was the case, what was he waiting for then?
Qin Feng had not felt so excited in such a long time now!
When they saw their kind getting killed, the razor-fanged infants charged angrily towards the attacker from afar.
Two monsters flanked Qin Feng. One on the left and the other on the right.
Qin Feng shuffled backward, evading the attempt to close in on him.
He reached into his waist and pulled out a small dagger less than fifteen centimeters, and took a calculated slash at one of the razor-fanged infants.
Argh!!!
The monster’s throat was sliced open, and its tiny body dropped to the ground, its neck and head clinging to each other only by a layer of skin.
Fresh, warm blood spilled all over the ground.
Qin Feng raised a leg and kicked the second razor-fanged baby, sending it sliding three meters backward.
So, as to not waste this opportunity, Qin Feng threw himself at the creature and swished the dagger downwards, plunging it into the razor-fanged infant’s chest, not stopping until he could he feel the blade hit the hard ground!
One of the razor-fanged infants let out a shrill cry that resembled a cat yowling. The noise, which also sounded a little bit like a baby crying, drew another group of infants toward Qin Feng.
The latter remained composed as he made some calculations on how to tackle the creatures sequentially.
His rich experience in battling was more than enough to help him combat these unsightly abominations of nature.
The only thing was, his body could not catch up with his rhythm. All around him, the monsters were slowly closing on him, ready to tear him apart.
Then, it pounced without warning!
Crunch!!!
One of them sank their teeth into Qin Feng, sending a blinding shock in the thick soup of his brain.
Paralyzing pain in his punctured calf seared through the entire leg.
But that was not the scariest part. At the same time, another one of the creatures jumped for his neck.
Danger was approaching. No. Here it was!
Qin Feng raised a hand in an attempt to shield his neck with his arm.
The infant’s razor-sharp fangs dug into the flesh of Qin Feng’s arm. At least his neck was protected.
“Die!” Qin Feng roared, slamming his arm onto the floor.
The infant let out a piercing cry, as bones and asphalt came crashing together in unholy matrimony. The beast on Qin Feng’s arm was squashed.
Another one of the creatures saw the chance and leaped.
Its attack was surgical—the position it had chosen perfect. Its mouth opened so wide as if about to swallow Qin Feng’s head whole.
Qin Feng’s pupils dilated.
Just then, a snow-white baseball came to the rescue, knocking down that razor-fangs infant.
Zhou Hao appeared in front of Qin Feng. Although his body was shaking violently, he did not stop, swinging around and striking the monster latched on his friend’s calf.
“Let go, beast! Monster! Let go!”
However, he controlled his exertion of force in fear of hurting Qin Feng.
After a few violent thumps and only after the razor-fanged infant’s head was finally smashed in, did Qin Feng shake off the monster.
The injuries were healing quickly, but, on the surface, Qin Feng was gravely injured.
Zhou Hao trembled uncontrollably, bursting with adrenaline, face flushed, and gulping in large mouthfuls of fresh air.
Such intense, unstopping action was all too much to bear!
When he turned around to look at the wounds on Qin Feng’s body, what he saw left him in shock.
“Qin Feng! Are you alright?”
“No problem!” Qin Feng shook his head.
The patrol team was finally here, dutifully dispersing the crowd and slowly retaking the entire street.
“Should we leave?” Zhou Hao did not know what to do in a situation like this.
“No need!” Qin Feng answered. “It’s just this one rift. Now that the patrol team is here, it should be a lot safer!”
Indeed, it was just one rift. But in the previous life, Qin Feng had not been around. The razor-fanged infants had spread out all over the place like a plague and killed swathes of people, Zhou Hao included.
Thank goodness, all of that was over!
The flames on the space stabilizer had been extinguished. All up and running, a silver ray exploded from it.
Then, before Qin Feng and Zhou Hao’s eyes, the rift began to grow smaller until it gradually disappeared.
This was the first time Zhou Hao had such a phenomenon, leaving his jaw hanging open in amazement.
Beep! Beep!
“Street number 12 is cleared. Head-count in progress!”
“Thirteen deaths in total! Still counting causalities!”
“Secured!”
The patrol team passed them by, grimly confirming the death toll. Qin Feng calmly watched all of them, not making a single move.
On the contrary, Zhou Hao’s initial excitement had disappeared, and his face had turned a ghostly white.
And just like that, the flame of life had been extinguished. In such a brief period, thirteen people had lost their lives.
If it had not been for Qin Feng, more people would have died.
A man wearing the patrol team’s medal over his chest walked up to Qin Feng.
The patrol team was the police in the colony. As humans were such destructive beings, whenever a fight broke out, it would, in all likeliness, lead to a one-sided slaughter where the strong killed the weak.
That was how the patrol team emerged, maintaining law and order to protect the very core of the colony’s safety.
That being said, the colony was, at times, not a particularly safe place either.
“Did you kill these two razor-fanged infants? Not bad, not bad at all! That’s sure looked promising, young man!” The man smiled. He was not very tall, about 1.7 meters and a little mellow. But Qin Feng would never look down on him!
