My Community Transmigrated Again

The Giant Rock Dragon stopped retreating and strained to lift its neck.

Its enormous body slammed forward with all its might.

Its hard head embedded itself in the wall, making the ground tremble slightly.

The Beaked Eagle spread its wings. Under the cover of night, it silently ascended, clutching the Staff of God.

Fifty meters, one hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters...

The Giant Rock Dragon sensed the humans high above through the vibrations in its thick footpads.

With a low roar, it resolutely headed for the western exit.

”Pour the gasoline on it!”

Splashes of gasoline rained down on its back, and the pungent smell filled the air.

The Giant Rock Dragon found the smell strange and acrid, but since it didn’t seem to be a problem, it ignored it.

WHOOSH—

Four heavy bolts from the Heavy Crossbows struck the Giant Rock Dragon at almost the same instant.

The thick Mud Armor on its body was instantly shattered, and the sturdy arrowheads brutally smashed into its flesh.

”ROAR!!”

’What a tough body,’ Qin Ziwen thought, somewhat shocked. ’Judging by the exposed shafts, the arrows only went in half a meter.’

’How dense are its muscles? Or does it have layers of bone plates hidden inside its body?’

But the effect of four point-blank Heavy Crossbow bolts was still significant.

Qin Ziwen could see its movements were clearly hindered.

A moment ago it could run, but now it could only walk.

Qin Ziwen lit a flaming arrow, squinted, and took aim.

In truth, with a target of its size at this range, he didn’t need to aim carefully.

Trailing a long tail of fire, the arrow landed squarely on its back.

BOOM—

Flames engulfed its entire body, turning the Giant Rock Dragon into a living torch.

With a low roar, the Giant Rock Dragon spun around and tried to flee back the way it came.

”Light the fires! Drop the rocks! Don’t let it get back!”

Above the ravine on both sides, Da Zhuang, Shi Hu, and the others grabbed torches from the bonfires behind them and hurled them down.

At the bottom of the ravine, the dead branches and leaves, mixed with large amounts of gasoline and other flammables, instantly caught fire.

The entire passage quickly became a sea of flames.

Du Yu let out a low roar, faint patterns appearing on the veins of his skin as he forcefully pushed a massive boulder before him.

”CRASH!”

The giant boulder crashed down, blocking the cave entrance the Giant Rock Dragon had just emerged from.

Trapped in the sea of flames, the Giant Rock Dragon let out a terrified howl.

You could imagine that from the moment of its birth, it had never experienced such a scene.

Flames and thick smoke were everywhere, in every direction.

Although its back was covered in thick rock and crystal, its abdomen and limbs were exposed. In the sea of flames, the Giant Rock Dragon panicked, scrambling about like a headless chicken.

’Here it comes.’

Qin Ziwen looked up.

A shrill whistle tore through the sky.

High above, a pale-cyan aura plunged downward.

The sound grew closer, and the air seemed to compress and tear, letting out a series of sonic booms.

He could even see the Beaked Eagle circling the Staff of God. Layers of airflow swirled around the Staff, the pale-cyan currents wrapping the spear like a silver sheath.

It fell faster and faster. By the time it was a hundred meters from the ground, the whistling had become a piercing shriek.

The spear’s tip began to glow a faint red from the friction of its descent, like a meteor falling from the heavens.

In the blink of an eye,

THWUMP!!!

The Staff of God vanished completely into the Giant Rock Dragon’s back, and a visible shockwave rippled outward.

The Giant Rock Dragon’s body shuddered. It took one lurching step forward, then its massive frame seemed to be yanked down by an invisible force. Its spine collapsed, and it fell like a mountain, landing in the sea of flames.

The fire burned for a good ten minutes before it finally died out.

A faint, acrid smell of burning hung in the air.

A dense cluster of lights appeared on the surface of the Giant Rock Dragon’s corpse.

It had dropped five Cards.

Two red, one black, one pink, and one rainbow.

Before he could even get the Cards, Qin Ziwen felt a surge of power rise from within him.

In a daze, he thought he heard the echo of shattering Shackles.

The power in his body surged, rising higher and higher.

[Extraordinary Feeder Human (Qin Ziwen): ☆☆☆★★]: Level 2 Feeding Spirit and Absorbing Radiance, Level 2 Meteoric Inheritance, Level 2 Resonance

After the breakthrough, understanding of these new abilities came to Qin Ziwen as if by instinct.

First was Feeding Spirit and Absorbing Radiance. To put it simply, he could form a Spirit Contract with a target. Once the contract was established, he could temporarily inherit their most suitable ability, depending on their compatibility. The inherited ability would also adapt slightly based on his own constitution.

When the Spirit Contract ended, the inherited ability would vanish as well.

At Level 2, Feeding Spirit and Absorbing Radiance allowed him to contract two targets.

Meteoric Inheritance was even more potent. He could permanently plunder an ability from any target he killed with his own hands. However, this plunder was irreversible and could not be discarded. The current limit for plundered abilities was also two, so he had to choose very carefully.

’In other words, while I only have two skills, they effectively function as four.’

The final ability, Resonance, allowed him to more easily sense a target’s emotions and, in turn, let them sense his. ’It must be a support skill for Feeding Spirit and Absorbing Radiance,’ he figured.

He looked at the Giant Rock Dragon. ’It’s a shame,’ he thought, ’that ability to change the form of rock was pretty good.’

At the bottom of the ravine, the Giant Rock Dragon was dead, but waves of heat still rolled off its corpse.

Only after things had cooled down considerably did Du Yu rappel down the cliff face on a rope.

He collected the five dropped Cards and brought them up.

[Hunting Mission Complete: Hunt Fierce Giant Rock Dragon x1]

[Reward Acquired: Function Card (Insight) x1, 20 Points]

Including the five dropped Cards, he had acquired six Cards in one go.

The red ones were Function Cards.

The pink one was a Healing Card.

The black one was a Giant Rock Dragon Summoning Card. Even though it was just a Summon Card, that wasn’t a problem. With the Blood Sand Beast Fighting Arena, he could turn it into a permanent, high-level sparring partner.

Suddenly, a glint appeared in Qin Ziwen’s eyes as a thought occurred to him. ’If I summon the Giant Rock Dragon in the Beast Fighting Arena and kill it myself, can I use Meteoric Inheritance to take its ability?’

’If that works, would it count as an exploit?’

Aside from these, the most eye-catching one was the rainbow-colored Card.

Unlike the single-colored Cards, the surface of this one was constantly shifting in color.

As he held it up, the colors changed depending on the viewing angle, like a magnificent rainbow.

It was a type of Card Qin Ziwen had never seen before.

[Miracle Card] Eternal Hunting Tomb (Miracle Building, Unique Card)

[Construction Requirement] 10 types of Extraordinary prey hunted by the Home.

(Note: This Miracle’s upgrades are related to the number of Spoils of War. Spoils of War can be complete corpses or significant vital organs. The Miracle will upgrade automatically when the quality and quantity of Spoils of War reach the required threshold.)

’A Miracle Building... isn’t this the same as building a world wonder?’ Qin Ziwen was stunned. ’But these construction requirements are a bit steep.’

’It requires ten different types of Extraordinary Level prey. So far, the only Extraordinary prey we’ve encountered is the Giant Rock Dragon.’

’I just hope the next map has a few more Extraordinary creatures.’
