"Ding... You killed a Trial Participant gaining 162 soul crystals, 1 bronze-rank treasure chest, and 500 trial points..."
"Ding... kill 10 more Trial Participants to unlock the achievement [Assassin] and obtain the special building [Assassin Training Grounds]..."
As the Frog Clan Member died, two notifications sounds rang in Qin Feng's mind.
To be honest, the rewards were truly high!
Qin Feng not only obtained all the Frog Clan Member's soul crystals but also received a bronze rank treasure chest and 500 points.
Such generous rewards would surely tempt many.
And it was precisely this kind of "encouragement" that made the Lord Trial so dangerous, with a success rate of only 60%!
However, Qin Feng didn't kill that Frog Clan Member just for these rewards.
Although it was a struggle among ten thousand races, humans also had allies.
And the Fox Clan was one of humanity's allies, even helping humans greatly in times of crisis.
At present, Qin Feng saved the Fox Clan Member to repay the Fox Clan's kindness and to foster long term friendship between the two races.
Of course, that was all.
"Tha... thank you, thank you!"
The originally despairing Fox Clan Member, upon seeing Qin Feng kill the Frog Clan Member, was immediately overjoyed and excitedly thanked Qin Feng.
However, Qin Feng didn't pay attention.
He simply opened the bronze rank treasure chest with one hand, put away a small pile of soul crystals, and then silently left on his own.
Such a cold attitude made the Fox Clan Member pause.
However, after only a moment of silence, the Fox Clan Member chased after Qin Feng.
"Handsome Human, thank you for saving me. Do you want any reward?"
"Handsome, you're not speaking. Are you perhaps thinking of how to make this humble maiden pledge herself to you?"
"That won't do. Our Fox Clan women cannot marry outside... Unless we get the Fox King's permission..."
Chased behind Qin Feng, the Fox Clan Member spoke with tender affection, her face full of charm.
Many men, upon seeing this, would lose control of themselves.
But Qin Feng remained unmoved, so cold that he had no intention of even looking back.
This infuriated the Fox Clan Member!
She puffed out her cheeks in anger, staring intently at the back of Qin Feng's head, truly wanting to punch him hard to vent her displeasure.
However... in the next moment, the Fox Clan Member's large eyes suddenly darted around, as if she had thought of something.
Immediately after, she actually quickened her pace, trying to press herself against Qin Feng's back.
But what she didn't expect was this.
Just as she got close, Qin Feng, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, suddenly turned his body, causing her to lunge at empty air!
"Fox Clan females are born with enchanted charm; it truly lives up to its reputation."
"But I must remind you, your tricks are useless against me!"
Looking at the Fox Clan Member who had lunged at empty air and almost stumbled, Qin Feng said coldly.
But in his heart... it was truly thumping!
Damn it! This Fox Clan female was truly too captivating!
Qin Feng thought to himself, but on his face, he tried hard to maintain a completely different, cold expression.
"Hmph!"
Seeing he plan fail and being reprimanded by Qin Feng, the Fox Clan Member immediately huffed in displeasure internally.
But on her face, there was no hint of displeasure; only a pitiful, helpless look.
"You... speak if you have something to say!"
Facing the Fox Clan Member's "pitiful helplessness," Qin Feng said irritably.
At this moment, Qin Feng almost broke his composure!
But there was nothing he could do.
Qin Feng was a man, alright!
And he was also a hot blooded youth who had just turned eighteen!
"Hehe..."
Hearing that Qin Feng's tone had softened slightly, the Fox Clan Member immediately rejoiced and struck while the iron was hot.
"Well... you know, we Fox Clan Members aren't good at fighting, so..."
On her delicate face, there was both "shyness" and "pitiful helplessness."
Not only that, as the Fox Clan Member spoke, she actually leaned closer.
This sent a chill down Qin Feng's spine.
"Go to hell with your 'not good at fighting'!"
Qin Feng cursed fiercely in his heart.
Alright, overall, most Fox Clan Members were indeed not good at fighting.
But so what!
Fox Clan Members were extremely intelligent, skilled in business, and adapt at manipulating hearts.
This ensured that even if Fox Clan Members weren't good at fighting, they would still have plenty of people to protect them.
Moreover, the Fox Clan's Kings possessed many secret arts that made them a formidable presence, feared by many races!
"So... you want to cling to a strong person?"
Looking coldly at the Fox Clan Member, Qin Feng said with a mocking expression.
However, the Fox Clan Member didn't mind; she just smiled lightly and continued.
"Hehe, not clinging to a strong person, but a collaboration..."
"We establish a temporary alliance. You help me get through the Lord Trial, and I'll help you unlock the Black Market."
"What do you think?"
"Not god at all!"
After hearing the Fox clan Member's suggestion, Qin Feng immediately refused.
The "Black Market" building was indeed a good thing, allowing one to buy many items unavailable on the market.
If it could be unlocked in this Lord Trial, then when Qin Feng became an official Lord and had his own true territory, it would definitely bring many benefits.
However, to establish a temporary alliance for this building, the sacrifice would be too great!
Leaving aside whether the Fox Clan Member would betray him.
Once a temporary alliance was established in this Lord Trial, it would mean that the two territories would temporarily merge, and Qin Feng would essentially be subjected to double the monster attacks.
Double!
Wasn't that just asking for trouble!
Whoever wanted to "play the hero saving the beauty" could go ahead! Qin Feng wasn't interested!
"You..."
Seeing Qin Feng refuse so decisively, the Fox Clan Member was also stumped.
However, the clever Fox Clan Member immediately thought of a countermeasure.
"Beside the Black Market, also guarantee that all soul crystals obtained from now on will be yours! Of course, those obtained during the Lord Trial!"
The Fox Clan Member gritted her teeth, looking extremely unwilling.
But Qin Feng completely ignored her, merely picking his ear.
"You..."
Looking at Qin Feng's demeanor, the Fox Clan Member gritted her silver teeth and revealed her trump card.
"My elite rank Attendant can also be yours!"
"Attendant?"
The Fox Clan Member's words immediately surprised Qin Feng.
An elite rank Attendant was not only a huge help in this Lord Trial, it could also play a significant role after completing the Lord Trial and becoming an official Lord.
But this Fox Clan Member was willing to give it up just to form an alliance with him?
This... what kind of incompetent person would make such a decision... or perhaps... "You... didn't you accept some hidden quest?"
Qin Feng frowned, his eyes fixed on the Fox Clan Member.
The Fox Clan Member also stared intently at Qin Feng, but she kept her mouth tightly shut, refusing to answer.
Just like that, the two stood in a standoff for several minutes.
Finally, it was the Fox Clan Member who spoke first.
"Yes... I did accept a hidden quest."
"However, I will not tell you any information about the hidden quest!"
