Heavy sniper rifles can barely pose a threat to ‘Primary Beast General’-level monsters. However, there is a vast difference between monsters and humans. While humans may possess formidable strength, their skin and muscles are nowhere near as resilient as the fur and scales of monsters. This is precisely why human warriors wear combat suits!
A mid-tier Battlemaster-class warrior hit by a sniper round would either perish instantly or sustain life-threatening wounds.
However, sniper rifles pose significantly less threat to high-level War General-class warriors. As for War God-class warriors? Snipers pose no threat whatsoever to a War God.
“It seems the old man and the white muscular man are guarding that mixed-race young man, who must be the most important person in the entire squad,” Luo Feng observed, scanning the Thundering Squad with his gaze. The nine members of Thundering Squad were either looking up at the surrounding residential buildings, searching for the sniper’s location, or exchanging glances with each other.
Silence.
Luo Feng, Gao Feng, the Indian side, and Thundering Squad remained slightly quiet for a moment.
“Master Liu,” the Tiger Fangs’ leader looked toward the cold, grey-haired old man. The old man with grey hair frowned at him, and the Tiger Fangs’ leader immediately fell silent. The grey-haired old man then whispered into the mixed-race young man’s ear, “Young Master, since you came here for training, you should personally deal with those monsters.”
The mixed-race young man looked at the old man, then turned his gaze toward the white muscular man. The white man also nodded slightly.
“Fine, let’s go!” the mixed-race young man reluctantly ordered.
His father had given strict instructions—
Once entering the wilderness area, he must obey the two bodyguards.
Although the nominal leader of this squad was the old man, the true leader was this mixed-race young man. Upon his command, the members of Tiger Fangs could only glare at Gao Feng and Luo Feng with resentment. Zhang Zehu even muttered a curse under his breath, “Luo Feng, you’re just lucky!” His disdain for Luo Feng was evident.
There was no need to hide it; the Tiger Fangs and the Hammer Squad had long been bitter enemies.
Soon, the nine members of Thundering Squad departed.
…
Wanke Dream City covered an enormous area, and Thundering Squad continued advancing within the residential complex.
“Pan Ya,” the old man frowned as he spoke along the way.
“Master Liu,” the Tiger Fangs’ leader approached him, adopting a very humble posture.
Master Liu, of the Liu clan, spoke gravely, “Since your Tiger Fangs accepted this mission, you should know that this time, the Young Master’s safety comes first! Although the Two-Headed Black-Line Snake is indeed a treasure, it pales in comparison to the Young Master’s safety. If anything happens to the Young Master, not only will I be held accountable, but your entire Tiger Fangs will perish alongside me!”
Pan Ya’s heart trembled as he nodded quickly, “Understood!”
“Hmph, good,” Master Liu coldly replied, “Later, we will stay at a ruined Jinjiang Chain Hotel near Wanke Dream City, allowing the Young Master to hunt monsters in the surrounding area. If you wish to seize someone else’s prey, do it yourselves, but don’t drag the Young Master into it!”
“I understand.”
Although Pan Ya verbally agreed, inwardly he cursed.
No warrior squad that dared to venture into the territory of City 003 could be considered weak. Without the two “High-Level Battle General” warriors—Master Liu and the pale, brawny man—the Tiger Fang Squad wouldn’t have had the strength to snatch prey from others.
Pan Ya retreated to the other members of the Tiger Fangs.
“Captain, the Hammer Squad seems to have grown stronger,” a middle-aged man with one eye remarked in a low voice. “They managed to team up with the Indian and successfully kill the Two-Headed Black-Line Snake. Even if the Indian played the main role, the fact that the Indian was willing to cooperate with them means the Hammer Squad has some real strength.”
Pan Ya nodded slightly, “I understand. I knew the Hammer Squad had improved when they dared to enter City 003.”
“Captain, we must act now—no more delays. That Luo Feng… he’s nothing but a green recruit, yet he’s already reached the rank of a Primary Warrior,” Zhang Zehu pressed, his voice laced with urgency. Among the squad, none harbored a fiercer grudge against Luo Feng than he did.
“This kid’s potential is indeed impressive,” the Tiger Fangs’ leader muttered darkly.
“If we allow our enemies to grow stronger, the threat they pose will only increase. Since we’ve encountered them in the wilderness this time, it’s for the better. I’ll find a way to eliminate them in the next few days. At worst, I’ll spend some money to ask Master Liu and the other man for help.”
…
On the grass between residential buildings filled with a stench of blood, the massive snake corpse lay coiled. Luo Feng, Gao Feng, and the three Indians were all there, dissecting the giant snake. They extracted the venom sac, removed the snake gallbladder, and, of course, peeled off the snake’s skin. The snake hide was also valuable.
“Half!”
“Half!”
The three Indians and Luo Feng’s duo quickly divided the large amount of snake materials.
“These snake scales are incredibly hard and flexible,” Gao Feng couldn’t help but exclaim as he touched the scales. “These scales must be one of the key materials for manufacturing combat suits!” One of humanity’s most important inventions nowadays—the Kelo Alloy—was primarily made from materials of various monsters.
Of course, the Kelo Alloy also involved ‘Blue Gold’ metal mined from the Moon, which was eventually used in its development. The Kelo Alloy enabled human warriors to possess combat suits with even greater defense than monsters, allowed humans to wield incredibly sharp battle blades, and even significantly enhanced the power of some firearms.
“Cooperation, pleasant!” the Indian leader, the ‘bald muscular man,’ greeted Luo Feng and Gao Feng with awkward Mandarin.
“Haha, pleasant,” Gao Feng laughed heartily.
Then Luo Feng and Gao Feng each slung a bulging backpack onto their backs and headed upstairs. Although the snake scales appeared large in area, they were actually very thin. Even stacking half of the snake’s scales together wouldn’t fill an entire backpack! Warrior backpacks first possessed incredible elasticity, and secondly, based on the backpack’s own mechanisms, their size could be gradually expanded.
At maximum, the backpack could grow as tall as an average adult. However, the snake scales didn’t require such expansion.
…
Quickly reaching the twelfth floor of the residential building, they were greeted by cheers as they entered the room.
“Warmly welcome, warmly welcome,” Wei Tie deliberately called out.
“Welcome back, Captain and Luo Feng, from your great battle,” Chen Gu also shouted on purpose. Of course, they were delighted—Luo Feng and Gao Feng had successfully returned, meaning they would also receive a generous share of the money.
Gao Feng’s face didn’t show much happiness, “You saw the Tiger Fangs, right?”
“We did,” Chen Gu, Wei Tie, and Wei Qing’s expressions all turned cold. Chen Gu even gritted his teeth, “I really wanted to shoot one of them dead to avenge Old Zhang!” Among the squad, no one had a deeper bond with Zhang Ke than Chen Gu—they were both from the Mingyue Residential Complex.
They had faced life and death together, returned home together.
Over the years, they had become closer than blood brothers! Yet Chen Gu knew he couldn’t open fire just then. First, his single shot could only kill one person. Second, once he fired, Thundering Squad would immediately retaliate… and the situation would spiral out of control.
“Brother Chen, where are the Tiger Fangs now?” Luo Feng asked.
“We’ve been watching them.”
At the northern window, Wei Qing was holding a telescope, pointing downward, “That group has just exited the Wanke Dream City complex, heading east along that street!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Luo Feng and the others immediately rushed over, especially Luo Feng, who took the telescope first and looked down. Indeed… the nine members of Thundering Squad were advancing along the street several miles away. Fortunately, Luo Feng’s group had chosen a residential building with a good geographical position—it was the northernmost high-rise in the middle. North of their building were only low-rise structures like villas, allowing them a clear view of the north.
“Captain, Brother Chen,” Luo Feng spoke up.
“Hmm?” The entire Hammer Squad turned to look at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng couldn’t help but clench his fists, gritting his teeth lowly, “I’ve never forgotten Brother Zhang’s revenge. I’ve already sworn… that once I encounter the Tiger Fangs in the wilderness area again, I will wipe them out!”
“Gao Feng was startled, “Luo Feng, what are you saying?”
“I plan to secretly follow them, find an opportunity, and kill every last one of the Tiger Fangs! Since they want us dead, we should strike first!” Luo Feng couldn’t forget those two sniper bullets from back then—one he barely dodged thanks to his mental powers.
The other bullet crippled Brother Zhang!
“Count me in, Luo Feng. We can’t leave Brother Zhang’s revenge unavenged,” Chen Gu gritted his teeth.
“Brother Chen, this is my best shot,” Luo Feng growled fiercely. “With my psychic abilities, even if we run into a War God, I can always just take to the skies and escape!”
That’s the terrifying thing about mentalists!
Even if a War God is ten or a hundred times stronger than them, a mentally weak individual with psychic abilities can still soar through the skies! Only those who transcend the War God can fly, aside from psychics.
“Chen Gu, Luo Feng has a point. You’d only be a burden,” Gao Feng snapped.
Chen Gu gritted his teeth. The captain’s words were harsh, but he knew the captain meant well.
“And if we want to eliminate the Tiger Fangs, don’t think they won’t try to eliminate us too?” Gao Feng continued darkly. “They tried to sabotage us last time, and now that they know we’re aware of it, they definitely don’t want us growing stronger. But they hadn’t encountered us in the wilderness before this. Now that we have met, they’ll surely make a move.”
A chill ran through everyone present.
That’s right…
With the Tiger Fangs’ ruthless nature, they would never allow us to grow stronger.
“Anyway, we’ve already hunted enough monsters this time. Our backpacks are almost full. The rest of the squad should return to the supply base first,” Gao Feng suggested, then turned to Luo Feng, “Luo Feng, as a mentalist, your escape ability in this city is countless times greater than ours. Still, be careful and don’t be careless.”
Luo Feng nodded.
As they spoke, the group also took turns observing Thundering Squad’s movements through the telescope.
“They’ve entered the Jinjiang Chain Hotel,” Chen Gu said excitedly, “Looks like they’re turning it into a temporary base.”
“There’s no time to lose. We should leave now,” Gao Feng said decisively.
Luo Feng also stood up to see the captain and the others off.
This place was originally on the outskirts, just a couple of miles away. Luo Feng escorted the captain and the others to the highway, which was already outside the densely built-up area of City 003, where monsters were already rare. If the Hammer Squad encountered any trouble on the desolate highway, that would truly be strange.
“Be careful, Luo Feng,” the four members of the Hammer Squad, including Gao Feng, watched Luo Feng closely.
This time, Luo Feng was alone, tasked with eradicating the Tiger Fangs for the Hammer Squad.
“Don’t worry, Captain. Not a single member of the Tiger Fangs will survive!” Luo Feng smiled, then turned and dashed away like a phantom, rapidly disappearing into the distance, rushing into the vast, densely built-up area ahead.
