Qin Feng flew on his sword, chasing the mutated monster.
Not long after, he caught up.
The mutated monster was not as strong as Qin Feng, and with the blood-red tree it carried, it couldn't exert its maximum speed!
Therefore, it was only natural for Qin Feng to catch up. Seeing the other party catching up, the mutated monster understood that it couldn't escape with the tree.
So, it landed directly on the ground, put down the tree, and then focused its attention on Qin Feng, preparing to launch a thunderous strike.
Qin Feng also landed on the ground. He carefully observed the mutated monster. He saw that the monster looked very much like a python, but at the same time, it had grown a pair of front limbs, which were very sharp. Its scales were golden and shone brightly, looking very beautiful.
The golden scales were extremely hard. Qin Feng had fought this monster a few rounds with his peerless good sword, but he couldn't break through the defense of the golden scales, which allowed the mutated monster to escape.
Now, man and beast were facing each other again. Qin Feng was full of confidence because he had the advantage in combat power.
The giant snake-like mutated monster saw Qin Feng and hissed.
It knew that it had encountered a formidable opponent today. It was impossible for it to escape with the blood-red tree, but it had no confidence in defeating the human in front of it. Therefore, it turned its snake head and fled in a flash, leaving the tree behind.
Seeing this, Qin Feng was very surprised. The blood-red tree had an unparalleled attraction for mutated monsters. Ordinary mutated monsters would definitely claim this tree for themselves, and they seemed fearless of any danger. However, this mutated monster was different. Its intelligence was very high, and it had already realized the gap between them in their previous encounter. Its current escape was the best proof.
This mutated monster was not foolish. Seeing this situation, Qin Feng smiled slightly. He used his sword flight again and pursued it.
The mutated monster was fast, but in the face of the power gap, it was still not as fast as Qin Feng. Before long, it was caught up again.
Qin Feng used his finger as a sword and sent out a golden light sword, which directly hit the monster's snake head.
The other party cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
Qin Feng struck true and did not give the monster any chance to breathe. He also landed directly on the ground, holding his peerless good sword, and unleashed his sword art.
Countless golden sword lights rained down on the monster.
Man and beast were locked in combat again. The mutated monster's defense was very high. Its golden scales were like peerless armor, preventing Qin Feng's sword art from harming it.
However, as time went on, the monster received more and more attacks and became weaker and weaker. Although the scales could block a fatal blow, the powerful impact still caused it serious injuries. As the light swords struck it more and more times, its resistance weakened.
Before long, Qin Feng used the body of his peerless good sword to stab out the monster's eye. This area was not protected by golden scales, and the sword directly penetrated the monster's body. The powerful sword energy coursed through its body.
Instantly, the mutated monster died.
Then, a notification sounded in Qin Feng's mind.
Ding...
Congratulations on killing a Dominator-level mutated monster, gaining 20 reputation points and a set of golden scales!
Hearing this notification, Qin Feng was very satisfied. He quickly opened his attribute panel.

Seeing the golden scales in his inventory, Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction.
He didn't know what use the scales were, but they were very hard. If they could be made into armor, it would be a very valuable set of defensive equipment.
Qin Feng commanded his Red Alert army in his mind to pull the blood-red tree back to its original location!
He then flew back to the off-road vehicle.
Ye Shen, who was beside him, had eyes shining. Seeing Qin Feng return, she said in surprise, "You just killed a Dominator-level mutated monster, and I also gained reputation, 1 point of reputation! My god! You were right, mutated monsters are indeed graded. I can also get reputation from these high-level mutated monsters. I got 1 point, how much did you get?"
Qin Feng replied, "I got 20 reputation points and an equipment."
Hearing this, Ye Shen shouted excitedly.
"That's great! If all the mutated monsters in the Level 3 Spirit Gathering Ground were like this Dominator-level mutated monster, we would be able to accumulate enough reputation in no time and buy what we want in the reputation store, hahaha..."
Qin Feng couldn't bear to pour cold water on her, but he still kindly reminded her, "Encountering a Dominator-level mutated monster this time was purely due to luck. It might not be so simple in the future, and these high-level mutated monsters are very intelligent. During our previous encounter, it already knew it couldn't win against me and chose to abandon the blood-red tree and escape alone. If my strength wasn't superior to it, I don't think I would have been able to catch up. This mutated monster's greatest strength is its defense. If the next mutated monster is speed-based, coupled with its human-level intelligence, I wouldn't be able to catch it if it wanted to escape. Furthermore, the Level 3 Spirit Gathering Ground doesn't necessarily have only high-level mutated monsters. It could very well be human teams or monster gathering places."
Hearing this, Ye Shen's previously high spirits immediately drooped. She said "Oh" and sat down.
Qin Feng comforted her, "However, we have gained a lot this time. We know that mutated monsters also have high levels. Since there are Dominator-level mutated monsters, there must be Legendary-level, or even higher. So our reputation will definitely increase. As our strength improves, these high-level mutated monsters will also be within our grasp. You don't need to worry too much. We still have plenty of time."
Hearing his comfort, Ye Shen was very moved. She nodded solemnly and said, "I know, don't worry. I will definitely work hard to improve myself and strive to be of assistance to you the next time we encounter a high-level mutated monster."
Qin Feng nodded, and then the two continued on their way.
At this time, the Red Alert army he had dispatched had already pulled back the blood-red tree. They re-bound it to the engineering vehicle and continued forward.
After a few more days, they killed many monsters along the way, and their gains were substantial.
Finally, they arrived at a Level 4 Spirit Gathering Ground. Qin Feng still sent Red Alert soldiers to scout ahead.
Ye Shen, who was beside him, said with some worry, "The mutated monster in the Level 3 Spirit Gathering Ground was already terrifying. Do you have confidence in the monsters in this Level 4 Spirit Gathering Ground?"
Qin Feng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't fight battles I'm not confident about. With my current strength, I can handle all monsters below Level 5 Spirit Gathering Ground, but I'm not confident about Level 5 and above. This Level 4 Spirit Gathering Ground poses no threat to me!"
Ye Shen nodded. As the Red Alert soldiers reached that location, Qin Feng finally saw the true face of this Level 4 Spirit Gathering Ground.
