Chapter 28: I was eaten?

"Xiaofeng, what are you doing?" Master approached, initially thinking that Qin Feng was restoring his soul, but to his surprise, Qin Feng was attempting to absorb the soul ring.

"Master, didn't we come out to find soul rings? This one seems good. It has powerful attack attributes and a lightning element," Qin Feng explained. Killing the Thunder Decepticon had been a stroke of luck, and he didn't want to waste the opportunity presented by this thousand year soul ring.

With the system being unresponsive, Qin Feng felt uncertain about when it might send him tasks. He didn't want to miss out on a chance to improve himself. So, he decided to absorb the soul ring and strengthen his soul power.

However, Master's reaction was nothing short of incredulous. He stared at Qin Feng with wide eyes and practically shouted, "Are you out of your mind? Do you see what color that soul ring is?!"

Qin Feng responded calmly, "Purple."

"Since you know it's purple, then tell me what purple represents!" Master pointed at the soul ring, his voice filled with anger.

Qin Feng nodded in understanding, realizing his mistake. "Purple represents a Millennium Soul Ring."

Master was furious. "Exactly! A Millennium Soul Ring! Do you have any idea what you're doing? I told you that nobody dares to absorb a Millennium Soul Ring, as it will lead to annihilation and death!"

Qin Feng, undeterred, calmly replied, "It would be a waste to just let the Soul Ring scatter. Master, you should go and check on Tang San."

Master was beside himself with anger, finding Qin Feng's stubbornness maddening. He muttered to himself, "A idiot can't be taught! A idiot can't be taught!"

Feeling helpless and furious, Master stormed off to check on Tang San, realizing that Qin Feng had already begun the integration process. If he had not yet integrated the Soul Ring into his body, Master could have forcibly destroyed it to save Qin Feng, even if it meant injuring himself. However, with integration underway, stopping it could lead to the Soul Ring exploding, and besides, it was a Millennium Soul Ring.

Left alone, Qin Feng entered a state of trance as he absorbed the Soul Ring. It felt like being in a dark, vast universe, occasionally punctuated by fleeting bright flashes.

"Is this the ordeal of absorbing a Soul Ring?" Qin Feng wondered, aware of the process from his knowledge of Douluo Continent but experiencing it firsthand for the first time.

Suddenly, he heard a roar, and when he looked, he saw multiple Thunder Decepticons converging on him.

As Thunder Decepticon drew near, Qin Feng suddenly felt an invisible force squeezing his neck, making it impossible for him to breathe. His face turned from white to red within seconds, blue veins protruding from his neck and forehead as he gasped desperately.

He struggled to break free, but it was like a small boat confronting the might of the sea—utterly futile. Qin Feng had prepared himself for the ordeal, but he never anticipated the overwhelming obsession of the Millennium Soul Beast contained within this Soul Ring.

He could plan and execute an attack from the outside, but during the process of absorbing the Soul Ring, it was a battle between his consciousness and the powerful obsession of the Millennium Soul Beast. Despite his determination, his six-year-old body was like an egg colliding with a stone.

"Is it necessary to obliterate all my efforts just because the living creature have perished?" Qin Feng clenched his teeth and decided to resist.

He hadn't caught his breath for even two seconds, and his muscles were torn to shreds. Blood gushed out, splattering everywhere.

"This is insane!" Qin Feng managed to utter through the excruciating pain. He struggled to fight back, but his efforts were futile. The searing agony coursing through his torn body threatened to render him unconscious.

In his moment of desperation, Qin Feng noticed something peculiar in the darkness. There was a massive gaping maw, and it seemed to be devouring the darkness like it was a cookie!

"What in the world is happening here?" Qin Feng stared dumbfoundedly at the bizarre spectacle. Wasn't that thing all slimy and black? How could it consume this space?

To his shock, the creature seemed to be fixated on him, its eyes brimming with a strange excitement. It almost resembled the look in someone's eyes when they see food.

"Wait, wait! Taking advantage of a helpless situation? Is it planning to devour me?" A horrifying thought crossed Qin Feng's mind. Trapped here by the Thunder Tyrant, if there was something capable of eating him, he was utterly defenseless.

"It's over..." Qin Feng couldn't even bear to blink his eyes, for the grotesque worm that was eyeing him hungrily was now just moments away. The once-dark sky had been reduced by more than half due to the relentless gnawing of this ravenous insect.

"Hey, hey! Hold on, what are you doing?" The creature seemed impatient, and it began to squirm and move toward Qin Feng with renewed vigor.

Qin Feng, now significantly smaller than this menacing black insect, couldn't help but notice its features. Green eyes, long hairy legs, and a horrific appetite that was closing in on him step by step.

"Fate can be so cruel. Dying at the hands of a worm... what an ugly bug." Qin Feng gazed up at the sky, his lament echoing through the heavens. He couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't dealt with this menace when it was just a baby.

And in that fateful moment, the bug loomed right in front of Qin Feng. Its massive jaws opened wide, revealing sharp fangs dripping with what seemed like saliva!
