On the rooftop of a ruined Carrefour supermarket, two figures stood silently. They were Wang Tong, known as “Shadow Blade,” and Li Kan, known as “Strong Bear.”
“Brother Wang, I never thought we’d suffer a loss this time,” Li Kan’s deep and resonant voice spoke.
“That Ironclad Dragon had just laid an egg. Definitely, a powerful expert took advantage of the moment when I and Brother Wang were locked in battle with the Ironclad Dragon, secretly stealing the dragon egg. That’s why the Ironclad Dragon went into a frenzy and chased after it madly!”
“Yeah, the supermarket is empty too,” Wang Tong nodded. They had already checked it earlier while pursuing.
As for those squads of beast general-level monsters, they could kill low-level warriors and injure mid-level warriors…
But!
When facing Wang Tong, a “high-level warrior,” the beast general-level monster groups could only collapse. After defeating the beast general monster squad, Wang Tong and his team had searched the entire supermarket.
“This person is truly… shameless!” Li Kan muttered.
Shadow Blade Wang Tong chuckled, “Indeed, quite shameless! To not only escape unharmed under the assault of beast general-level monsters but also manage to take the dragon egg. That level of strength… at the very least a mid-level warrior! A mid-level warrior has many ways to earn money—why bother stealing this dragon egg?”
Dragon eggs are valuable, but it’s all relative.
For instance, compared to an SS-grade combat suit, a dragon egg is far less valuable.
This dragon egg, once hatched, is merely a juvenile Ironclad Dragon. Even when fully grown, an Ironclad Dragon is generally only a “low-level lord.” Only through repeated battles and transformations can it gradually improve. It’s not guaranteed that offspring will surpass their parents.
Take the example of the world’s strongest man, Hong. Even his children find it extremely difficult to match his level.
A mature common Ironclad Dragon, a low-level lord, is worth about 3 billion yuan.
An unhatched dragon egg, although rare, is actually more expensive than a mature Ironclad Dragon. But even then, it’s estimated to be around 5 billion yuan. Although 5 billion is a large sum, for a mid-level warrior, they can earn money by hunting monster lords themselves. There’s no need to take advantage of others.
That’s why Wang Tong and Li Kan weren’t angry—they just thought the person was shameless.
“A mid-level warrior actually stooping to steal from us,” Li Kan shook his head.
“Never mind. The Ironclad Dragon is already severely injured but still running so desperately. Its injuries must be even worse,” Wang Tong smiled. “Our goal is to kill this high-level lord Ironclad Dragon. Don’t let it escape.”
“Let’s go.”
Li Kan nodded in agreement.
The price of low-level lord monsters ranges from 500 million to 3 billion yuan. Of course, even among low-level lords, due to different species and varying strengths, prices differ significantly. The Ironclad Dragon is worth 3 billion yuan.
Mid-level lord monsters range from 1.5 billion to 9 billion yuan.
High-level lord monsters range from 5 billion to 20 billion yuan.
Most lord-level monsters fall within these ranges. Of course, there are always exceptions in the world, but those rare exceptions need not be mentioned.
This high-level lord Ironclad Dragon is worth approximately 18 billion yuan. Unfortunately, looking around the world, aside from those who have surpassed the warrior level… among the already extremely rare high-level warriors, only a small portion possess the strength to hunt this Ironclad Dragon.
…
In a room on the eighth floor of an eight-story residential building at the farthest edge of Suburb No. 003, the four members of Thunder Squad were staying.
Although Wang Tong and Li Kan had told them to leave the city and go to the highway, which would be the safest, the two warriors going to fight the high-level lord Ironclad Dragon made Thunder Squad extremely curious. Therefore, they finally decided to hide at the farthest edge of the city, where they could immediately leave if things went wrong.
“Boom~~” Throughout the dozens of miles in the suburb, the roars of tens of thousands of monsters echoed across the sky.
“The Ironclad Dragon has gone mad, gathering the entire beast group. The entire beast group has gone into a frenzy,” the old man with the surname Liu couldn’t help but smile. “Mr. Wang is indeed impressive, bringing the Ironclad Dragon to this state.”
“Yeah, no wonder he’s Shadow Blade,” Pan Ya, the leader of Tiger Fang Squad, nodded in agreement.
Although they were at the farthest and outermost edge, with no idea what was happening dozens of miles away, they couldn’t help but make many guesses based on the sounds.
“A monster riot, I wonder what it’s like,” the mixed-blood youth Li Wei’s eyes sparkled.
“Master, now that the beast group has gone into a riot, although it’s still more than ten miles away from us, just in case, we should leave now. Anyway, we can’t hear anything else,” the old man with the surname Liu smiled. The white muscular man named Karong beside him also looked at the young master. Mixed-blood youth Li Wei nodded, “Okay, we’ll leave. Back to the base city.”
Immediately, the four members of Thunder Squad left the residential building and directly arrived at a nearby highway, leaving Suburb No. 003.
…
In that residential area, Luo Feng was walking through the underground garage.
The underground garage was very large. The most special feature was that the back doors of the basements of each villa in the community were connected to the underground garage… This way, the villa owners only needed to follow the back door of their own basement to directly enter the underground garage and drive away their cars.
This layout was also for the convenience of the residents.
“Haha, truly brilliant! It’s actually connected to each villa,” Luo Feng smiled, slicing through a door with a throwing knife and quickly entering the basement of a row of villas.
This basement was divided into a billiard room, an audio-visual room, a wine cellar, and more.
“Knows how to enjoy life,” Luo Feng smiled, then quickly went upstairs to the first floor of the villa, carefully hiding behind the northern window of the living room to observe the outside.
Sure enough—
About a hundred meters away, a dark blue dragon tail could be seen gently swaying. The dark blue dragon scales on the tail shimmered with a chilling luster under the winter sunlight. The rest of the Ironclad Dragon’s body was blocked by a villa behind it.
“This Ironclad Dragon is also very clever. It probably thinks I’m still hiding somewhere in the community, carefully observing,” Luo Feng smiled. He quickly went upstairs to the third floor of the villa, crouching low so the Ironclad Dragon couldn’t see him through the window… Actually, decades had passed, and the windows of these villas were already very dirty.
On the third floor of the villa, the front bedroom.
Luo Feng observed carefully through the bedroom window, looking for the subway station entrance he had accidentally seen during his earlier flight.
“Tsk tsk, it’s right there!” Luo Feng soon spotted it, at one of the entrances to the subway station outside the community.
Based on the overall terrain of the subway garage and the many villas…
Luo Feng calculated the shortest route from underground to the subway station!
“That’s the plan!”
Luo Feng carefully went downstairs again, then returned to the underground garage through the basement. According to his previous memory, he quickly ran to a corner of the underground garage!
“From here, dig straight ahead, less than thirty meters, and I can reach the subway station.” Although the distance was relatively far, this was already the shortest segment.
“How to dig underground?”
Luo Feng looked around. There were many dirty cars in the underground garage.
“I got it!” Luo Feng smiled slightly, his mind shifting.
Immediately, a throwing knife flew out, silently cutting off the front hoods of two cars. Then, under the control of his mental power, the two large metal sheets rolled up, resembling a cone, like an ice cream cone! Luo Feng himself then lay inside the conical metal sheet.
“Go!”
Under the control of his mental power, the throwing knife first drilled a large hole in the hard concrete wall of the underground garage. Then, the “conical metal sheet” pierced through it, directly burrowing forward through the soil!
…
Hissing~~
The subway station was already filled with dust. Suddenly, a section of one wall about half a meter wide was forcefully pushed inward with a bang. Stones and mud clumps tumbled down. A conical steel tip pierced through first, followed by a figure hiding inside the conical steel, flipping over to land on the ground.
“This kind of digging underground, although not as fast as some monsters with digging abilities, is still relatively fast for human warriors,” Luo Feng remained clean on his body.
The subway station had been abandoned for a long time.
Luo Feng observed the subway map, wiping off the dust on the glass surface of the map, carefully examining it: “Hmm, along this tunnel, it leads to Kunshan City? Which city is Kunshan?” The names of cities before the Great Nirvana period were almost forgotten by modern people.
Luo Feng only remembered some famous cities, such as the old Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and so on.
Kunshan? Who knows where it came from, but one thing was certain—Kunshan City was not within the scope of Shanghai.
“Alright, this line then.” Luo Feng came to the old train passage subway tunnel, directly jumping into the subway tunnel, then quickly heading in the direction of Kunshan along the subway line.
…
This subway tunnel still had some monsters. As Luo Feng advanced, he encountered many monsters. Most of them were weak soldier-level monsters, but he also encountered three low-level beast generals and even one mid-level beast general. These were all relatively small in size.
Of course, under the control of his mental power and throwing knives, they were all eliminated one by one.
…
The subway tunnel was not entirely underground; some sections were above ground. This was one of the sections of the old subway line that once connected Shanghai to Kunshan.
“I’ve advanced about a hundred miles; I must have long left the range of City 003,” Luo Feng checked the positioning system on his communication watch. Indeed, he was already about fifty miles away from Shanghai.
“I should get on the highway and return to the base city… Who knows what other monsters might appear in this subway tunnel. Besides, I don’t want to go to Kunshan City. Who knows what kind of place Kunshan City is,” Luo Feng smiled happily. How could he not be happy? After all, he had already escaped from Shanghai.
Immediately, Luo Feng smiled as he carried the large backpack containing the dragon egg and combat suit, heading in the direction of the highway shown on his communication watch.
“Time to go home!”
