    Default Volume 2 Chapter 19: 10 Stages of Force

    Volume 2 Chapter 19: 10 Stages of Force

    After turning to the first page of the "Nine Stage Thunder Blade" instruction manual*...

    *TL note: From now on, I’ll change scrolls to instruction manuals.

    "Speed!" was the largest and most prominent word on the page. As if facing an approaching blade, Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat. This instruction manual is just a copy of the 《Nine Stage Thunder Blade》, but the copied handwriting was enough to freeze Luo Feng.

    One can imagine how horrifying the instruction manual's creator, Thunder Lord, is.

    Luo Feng continued reading.

    "In all of martial arts, the only indestructible thing is speed"

    "As your blade gets faster and approaches the limit, you'll be invincible" Luo Feng flipped to the title page and saw flamboyant handwriting, "it's the same with "Hong" 's 《Destroyer》, his most powerful move also approaches the limits of speed. In just one move, the sky shakes and the earth shatters, leaving nothing behind"

    "There is only one secret behind the "Nine Stage Thunder Blade" I have created: speed!"

    Luo Feng flipped to the second page.

    "How can speed have so much destructive force?"

    "First, if your blade can move faster than your opponent can react, you can slit their throat before they even raise their blade! Even if your strength is only a tenth of your opponent's, their throat cannot defend against your sharp blade. So speed allows you to attack your opponent's weak points"

    "Next, speed can increase the power of your blade"

    "Using the energy calculation formulas——a blade's attack power is equal to 0.5mv^2, in other words, in stable conditions, the faster the blade moves, the more energy it'll contain! Even a water column can pierce steel if fast enough. A piece of paper can cut steel!

    "Speed, can let you slip through your opponent's defense!"

    "Speed, can make your blade indestructible! Whether you look at it from the angle of striking weak points, or the angle of increasing destructive power, the best way is to increase your blade's speed!"

    Luo Feng nodded as he read. Most of the fighters in today's society will understand this point. Only by increasing your speed to the extreme can you become the strongest!

    "Many fighters understand this point, but those who are able to put this to practice are few within few!" The words Thunder Lord wrote in the instruction manual were full of confidence, "The 《Nine Stage Thunder Blade》I have created gives me the fastest blade on earth! It also gives me the highest speed and the strongest body!"

    Luo Feng's eyes flashed as he read.

    “The 《Nine Stage Thunder Blade》 incorporates the agility technique 'Liu Guang*', the entire Dao Yin technique set 'Nine Stage Hun Yuan', and the entire blade technique set 'Thunder Blade'. Out of these three, the Dao Yin technique is essential!"

    *TL Note: Literally means flowing light.

    "Only with the Dao Yin technique can you achieve a more powerful body!"

    "Body fitness is the core!"

    "Blade technique and agility need continuous practice and understanding!"

    Luo Feng kept flipping through. There were three volumes on the Dao Yin technique in this instruction manual. According to the instruction manual's description, there were nine volumes of the 'Nine Stage Hun Yuan" Dao Yin technique. This instruction manual also only had the first three volumes of the blade technique and the agility technique. Luo Feng read the entire thing word for word.

    After raising his head.....

    The sunlight was sinister and the August sun shone through the windows, causing the entire training hall to dazzle even more.


    "Amazing, just amazing"

    Luo Feng was completely sucked into the 《Nine Stage Thunder Blade》that Thunder Lord had created. Even though he only has the first three stages, they were enough to make Luo Feng's jaw drop. Comparing the tips on the internet with this instruction manual was like comparing a firefly to the sun.

    "I'll test this technique"

    Luo Feng solemnly put the instruction manual in the corner of the training hall and took out his ghost blade. The ghost blade made a "CHI" sound as it was unsheathed. The entire ghost blade was 101 cm long, the blade itself was 78 cm long, and the blade's width was 5.2 cm. This blade was sharpened a while ago, and its main material was second grade Ke-Luo alloy.

    Even at half price, this blade costs 3 million, and weighed 112 kg.

    "Start!"



    [HU!] [HU!] Luo Feng seemed to just stand still in the middle of the training hall, but the ghost blade in his hand continuously waved around.

    The Nine Stage Thunder Blade technique relies on a special way to exert force.

    When a regular person swings their blade, you could say they use 100% of their strength! But in the《Nine Stage Thunder Blade》training, only 70% of their strength is used in a swing. After unleashing the first stage of their attack, they'll force themselves to unleash another stage, also at 70% of their strength. Two of these stages added together equals 140% strength!

    The Nine Stage Thunder Blade has nine stages.

    In the first stage, you can unleash another stage, which is 140% of the power!

    In the second stage, you can unleash two more stages, which is 210% of the power!

    In the third stage, you can unleash three more stages, which is 280% of the power!

    ......

    In the ninth stage, you can unleash nine more stages, which is 720% of the power! Which is seven times your regular strength.

    What does this represent?

    It means that if a beginner warrior is able to learn up to the ninth stage of the 《Nine Stage Thunder Blade》then he can basically rival a beginner warlord!

    "So difficult, just like the rumors said. This 《Nine Stage Thunder Blade》training is extremely difficult. Even the introductory part is so hard" Luo Feng continued to swing his blade hundreds of times. With each swing, he tries to build upon the basics of swinging and unleash the second stage of his swing. However, he's unable to do it.

    Too difficult!

    A swing of a blade ends in just a moment. In this moment, after the first time you use your strength to swing, you have to exert your force again, which is practically impossible.

    "Looks like I can't be too greedy. In the first stage of the 《Nine Stage Thunder Blade》, there are 18 different blade techniques. According to the instruction manual, if I practice these 18 techniques, I'll be able to realize the trick to unleashing the first stage of the《Nine Stage Thunder Blade》" nodded Luo Feng, There's a saying that goes "After reading a book a hundred times, the meaning will show itself".

    After practicing these 18 techniques many times, the meaning behind them will show itself.

    "Feng, time to eat"

    "Feng, hurry"

    Mom and Dad's voices carried from downstairs.

    "Coming" Luo Feng put his ghost blade back into its scabbard and hung it onto the wall. After that, he put the 《Nine Stage Thunder Blade》instruction manual into his personal room. It was only after doing this did Luo Feng go downstairs to eat.

    ※※※※※※

    Time passed, and even though Luo Feng already joined the Fire Hammer squad, they were on break. Luo Feng used this opportunity to polish his《Nine Stage Thunder Blade》technique, agility, and Dao-Yin technique. That and the genetic energy training produced clear results. Luo Feng's fitness level clearly grew by a ton again.

    And for the "Nine Stage Thunder Blade" technique, Luo Feng still hasn't been able to learn the first stage.

    Even though he couldn't learn it, it was clear that Luo Feng has become more agile, and his control over his blade and power has improved a lot.

    "Even though I still can't unleash another stage, but at least I'm able to control my muscles much better than before" Luo Feng stood alone in the training hall, and silently started putting on his battle uniform. He put five throwing knives on each of his thigh pockets, and he wore alloyed battle boots.

    He also had a vest on, which revealed his shoulders, and had wrist guards on both arms.

    He had his backpack, hexagonal shield, and ghost blade on his back. On his right wrist guard was his tactical communications watch. In his bag, he had some water and high carb food prepared.

    "Today, August 28th, is the first day I leave the city and officially begin a mission" Luo Feng took a deep breath,

    Indeed...

    Today, was the day that the Fire Hammer squad departs!

    "Luo Feng!" Fire Cannon Chen Gu's yell came from outside.

    "Coming" responded Luo Feng. He immediately ran downstairs and saw that his father Luo Hong Guo and mother Gong Xin Lan were standing in the living room. His brother Luo Hua was in his wheelchair and also silently looking at Luo Feng. They knew that today was the day that Luo Feng was going to leave the city and enter the wilderness.

    The wilderness was what people called the land outside of the city, which includes ruined cities, suburbs, mountains, forests, lakes, etc.

    "Luo Feng, be careful" Gong Xin Lan couldn't help but to say.

    "Don't worry mom" Luo Feng laughed. He nodded at his father and then finally looked towards Luo Hua.

    "Bro, maybe when you come back, you'll be able to eat my wedding candy" Luo Hua suddenly started laughing.

    "Wedding candy? So fast? You haven't even known that young woman for two months yet" laughed Luo Feng.

    "If we're in a good relationship, who cares if it's quick?" Luo Hua laughed.

    "Alright, I'll come back to eat your wedding candy, so you better get a lot of good tasting ones for me" Luo Feng laughed and rubbed his brother's head, "Okay. Dad, mom, I'm off. I'll be back in a few days". After saying that, Luo Feng ran towards the door and met with Chen Gu at the door of his villa.

    Luo Feng's family silently watched Luo Feng in his battle uniform leave swiftly with the brute, who was also fully equipped.

    "Let's go, Luo Feng, to the HR alliance's market to meet up with the leader and the others. Then we'll leave together towards the wilderness"

    "Yes, Brother Chen"

    Luo Feng swiftly headed towards the Dojo of Limit's private car with Chen Gu and another man with a steel spear on his back.
    PENGUIN!

    Default Volume 2 Chapter 20: The HR Alliance Market (final chapter of volume 2)

    Volume 2 Chapter 20: The HR Alliance Market (final chapter of volume 2)

    In Jiang-Nan city, one of the six major headquarters in China, there was a skyscraper that was 88 stories tall and full of wealth. On the wall of the skyscraper were two very flashy english characters: 'HR'. Around the first floor of the skyscraper, there was a beautiful plaza which had the largest fountain in the city. Around the plaza, there were at least a thousand soldiers patrolling with real guns, preventing any outsider from stepping even one step inside.
    Every pedestrian who passes by looks at the skyscraper in admiration.

    Most of the people in the entire city have never entered the area.

    [BEEP!]

    An electronic sound rang.

    Within a moment, the patrolling soldiers immediately made way for a military SUV with 'HR' on the car body. It stopped in front of the gate of the lobby, HUA, the door opened, and three fully armed fighters came out, either carrying a spear, a blade and a hexagonal shield, or two metal boxes on their backs.

    "Mister, please enter" the doorman of the lobby's entrance greeted them respectfully.

    The three fighters immediately entered the skyscraper's lobby.

    "Let's go, Luo Feng, let's go sit at the bar at the side and wait for the captain and the others to come" Chen Gu laughed.

    "I still haven't seen the captain yet. I wonder what he looks like" laughed Luo Feng. At the same time, he observed the HR alliance market. This was the underground alliance that was built by the power families and corporations all around the world. It acted as their headquarters in Jiang-Nan city, so this skyscraper was extremely extravagant.

    The lobby was full of eccentric people, even their simple accessories were out of the ordinary.

    The waiter in the lobby, the handsome men and the beautiful women, each of them had a refreshing smile.

    Luo Feng, Chen Gu, and the other member 'Zhang Ke' all sat on the sofa.

    "What will you three be having?" smiled the waiter as he bowed while asking.

    "Tie Guan Yin"!

    "Pu'Er tea, with a hint of Jasmine!"

    Fire Cannon Chen Gu and Zhang Ke, these two senior fighters spoke immediately, which shocked Luo Feng a bit. In the Limit Hall, these two drank alcohol frequently. Zhang Ke, whose biceps were bulging like a gorilla's, laughed as he said: "Luo Feng, the wilderness is dangerous, so we can't drink alcohol"

    Luo Feng suddenly came to, yes, you can't take the wilderness lightly, how could you drink alcohol now?

    "I'll also have a cup of Pu'Er tea" laughed Luo Feng.

    A solemn, musical song was playing in the lobby. It was a piece played by a flute. As to what song it was, he couldn't tell. However, the song was soothing, yet energizing. It made one feel much more refreshed.

    "Luo Feng, the first floor is the resting area for guests. From the second floor and up, it's where items are sold" Chen Gu smiled, "In the underground alliance, the prices are lower than the full price of the things in the 'Limit Home''s internet market. Of course, it costs more than our half price"

    Luo Feng nodded, half price was something that only the members of the Dojo could enjoy.

    "The best thing about the underground alliance marketplace is..... that we can sell the ingredients we obtain from the monsters for a high price to them" explained Chen Gu, "if we sell the ingredients from hunted monsters to the Dojo, we also earn contribution points but the price is lower. If we sell them to the underground alliance marketplace, we get more money but no contribution points. Naturally, which one you decide to sell to is entirely up to you"

    Luo Feng laughed, as to this point, he already read some posts on the fighter discussion thread, so he knew this a long time ago.

    Selling to the Dojo gives contribution points and money.

    Selling to the underground alliance marketplace gives only money, but a lot of it.

    "Brother Wang, you've already been working for the entire night, take a break and leave it to me" a soft sound rang. Luo Feng, who was holding his tea cup, suddenly turned his head as if he was shocked by electricity.

    At the bar, there was a young woman in a white, collared shirt and long black pants, who was changing positions with another manager.

    In this bar, there were 12 waiters and a manager. The bar was open 24 hours and they had 8 hour shifts, so there were three different groups.

    "Xu Xin?" Luo Feng looked with disbelief at the female manager. A professional woman who had an air of nobleness around her. There is no way an ordinary person can become the manager of the bar of the underground alliance's lobby. This is a place that was made just to serve fighters!

    Just to become a waiter, you would probably have to graduate from a prestigious college and undergo tons of training, not to mention a bar manager.


    "Xu Xin....."

    How did that plain high school girl in the past change herself so dramatically?

    "Brother Chen, brother Zhang, I'm going to go over there for a bit". Luo Feng left his bag, shield, blade, etc. on the sofa, and he stood up smiling as he headed over to the bar.

    In the bar.

    Xu Xin's head was lowered as she checked the supplies at the counter, suddenly -

    "Xu Xin" - a familiar voice rang.

    "Hm?" Xu Xin was shocked. The people who knew her in the lobby usually called her 'Manager Xu', and usually the fighters don't know her name. How could someone call her 'Xu Xin', and this voice sounds so familiar. Xu Xin raised her head——

    At this time, Luo Feng's head was lowered as he looked into the bar, and Xu Xin was half-squatted as she finished checking the wine and raised her head.

    Their gazes met.

    Luo Feng and Xu Xin both suddenly had the same feeling, their hearts throbbed a bit.

    "Luo Feng, why are you here?" Xu Xin reacted, and she stood up as she laughed.

    "Even Xu Xin can become a manager here, how come I can't be here?" laughed Luo Feng as he said. Looking at the young woman in front of him, Luo Feng couldn't help but to think about his times in high school, where he sat in the back of the classroom and silently looked at Xu Xin's back..... he had a crush for a long time, but he just didn't have the chance to confess.

    He thought he would probably never see Xu Xin again, but he ended up meeting her right before his first trip to the wilderness at the HR alliance market.

    "Ah, Luo Feng, you're a fighter?" Xu Xin saw Luo Feng's outfit and couldn't help but to say in surprise.

    "Yea, I'll be going to the wilderness soon" laughed Luo Feng.

    "The wilderness?" Xu Xin's face changed a bit.

    All over the world, the areas other than the cities were called the wilderness. For the people who live in the cities, the wilderness was basically a replacement for the forbidden area of death. There were all types of monsters there: sinister, strange ones, and large, barbaric ones. There were also existences that were near invincible.

    Only the strongest of mankind, the 'fighters', could go there and fight the monsters.

    Xu Xin couldn't have thought..... that Luo Feng was a fighter, and that he was about to enter the wilderness.

    In reality, Xu Xin knew that Luo Feng liked her a bit..... this kind of thing was impossible to hide. Luo Feng constantly looked at her every day in class, and Xu Xin naturally caught Luo Feng staring at her when she turned her head. Naturally, Xu Xin understood Luo Feng's thoughts.

    It was just that both sides failed to point it out.

    "Luo Feng, the captain's here, come" shouted Chen Gu.

    "I'll be going there" said Luo Feng to Xu Xin.

    "Okay" nodded Xu Xin.

    Luo Feng went back to his original place. At this time, three people arrived, and two of them looked similar. One look is enough to tell you that they're twins. Both of them had a shield and a scimitar on their backs. The third man was extremely large and had two black sledgehammers that were glowing with a bit of silver.

    "Luo Feng, these two are the famous 'Twin Moon Scimitar' brothers of the Wei family, Wei Tie and Wei Qing" smiled Chen Gu as he said.

    The Wei brothers nodded their heads towards Luo Feng and put down their shields and scimitars and sat down.

    "Brother Tie, brother Qing" smiled Luo Feng as he greeted.

    The other members of the fire hammer squad are much older than Luo Feng, at least 10 years older. Compared to the other five people, Luo Feng indeed seems like a little brother.

    "This, is the captain of our fire hammer squad, 'Dual Wind Hammer' Gao Feng" said Chen Gu. Luo Feng couldn't help but to notice that captain 'Gao Feng', wasn't that tall. He was barely past 180 cm. His speciality was that he was extremely well built, as if he was made out of steel bars.

    Gao Feng sneered, and the muscles of his face were like rocks as he approached: "Luo Feng, you also use a blade, so after entering the wilderness, try to get some experience from Wei Tie and Wei Qing. You have good talent, so I'm sure you'll swiftly become a member of our team"

    "Okay" nodded Luo Feng.

    No matter what, his first priority is to not become a burden for this elite fighter squad.

    "Take a break and we'll leave" said Gao Feng.

    "Yes, captain"

    Including Luo Feng, the five of them nodded.

    In just twenty minutes, Gao Feng and the others finished their drinks and stood up, "Let's go, to the wilderness". Luo Feng immediately picked up his ghost blade, shield, etc.

    "Luo Feng" - a sound rang.

    Luo Feng turned his head.

    At this time, Xu Xin's chest pounded a bit. For some reason, the thought of Luo Feng entering the dangerous wilderness made her worried. Maybe Xu Xin also started to develop some special feelings for the boy who had a crush on her during high school.

    "Yes?" Luo Feng looked at Xu Xin.

    "In the next few days, school will start for me. But during college, I'll be the manager here on Fridays and the weekend" Xu Xin yelled, "You better come at those times". As she yelled this, Xu Xin's face started to turn red.

    "Okay, I'll come for sure"

    Luo Feng let out a smile.

    "You picked one up so quickly? Nice!" Chen Gu slapped Luo Feng shoulder as he laughed loudly.

    "This is the benefits of being young, all the beautiful women stick to you" laughed Gao Feng on the side. Since he already determined to let Luo Feng join the fire hammer squad, naturally they'll treat him as a brother.

    Luo Feng just laughed.

    "Let's go!"

    "Get on the car!"

    The six of the Fire Squad team members got on the HR alliance private car and headed towards the train station, where they'll ride a train headed towards the wilderness.
    PENGUIN!

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 1: The Wilderness

    Volume 3 Chapter 1: The Wilderness

    There was a military camp a few hundred miles away from the northern part of Jiang-Nan city.
    [RUMBLE~~] The train slowly came to a halt at the military sector’s station.

    Fully armed fighters got off the train one by one, for a total of twenty. These twenty people naturally formed four squads.

    "Luo Feng, usually when we fighters go out to hunt monsters, we enter the military sectors to resupply" Chen Gu pointed ahead of him, where a tall, steel tower that was around 50 or 60 meters high was, "See this tower? Across China, and even the world, the military cuts out a special sector of the wilderness to serve as a base for fighters to rest and resupply. These resupplying locations are marked with these lighthouses. In other words, it shows us fighters the way home".

    Luo Feng nodded.

    In the resupplying base in the military sector, there was a solemn, small building, which had a good environment.

    "Fire hammer squad, you guys will stay at #E6 to rest" an officer of the base gave the captain of the fire hammer squad, 'Gao Feng', a key as he laughed and patted his shoulder, "Old Gao, how long do you plan on hunting for this time? If you ever get anything good, you're welcome to sell it to my underground alliance. I'll be sure to give you a great price"

    Even though most of the staff here were wearing military uniforms....

    In fact, most of the service staff came from the Dojo of Limits, the Thunder Dojo, the government's army, and the underground alliance. Even though they were there to serve, they also purchase precious ingredients obtained from monsters from the fighters.

    "Haha, sure" laughed Gao Feng, "hurry and arrange for people to make us lunch".

    The resupplying base wasn't that big.

    "E6, over there" The fire hammer squad quickly found the small three story building representing 'E6'. The key was in a form of a chip. After sliding the key across the door, it opened. Before the fire hammer squad leaves the resupplying base, the ownership of the building belongs to them.

    "Gonna lay for a bit and sleep, didn't sleep well last night" Chen Gu put down his two metal boxes and jumped on the sofa. He stretched his body across the sofa and got comfortable.

    "If you want to rest then rest now, we'll officially depart tonight. At that time, you'll need to focus" commanded captain Gao Feng.

    "Understood"

    'Spear' Zhang Ke and the Twin Moon Scimitar brothers laughed in response, since they knew about the rules ages ago.

    "Departing tonight?" Luo Feng was surprised.

    "Luo Feng, aren't you even paying attention to the weather? It's the end of September, which is the hottest time of the year. Running with a couple hundred kilograms worth of things in the middle of the day? No matter how much water you bring, it won't be enough, so you can only drink from the river" Chen Gu laughed as he looked at Luo Feng, "Isn't it better to run during the night? And it saves water"

    Luo Feng laughed awkwardly.

    Even though he read many posts, he never realized this point.

    "Hm?" Luo Feng's gaze passed through the window and saw someone in the resupplying base, "Brother Chen, look, isn't that Zhang Ze Hu?". At that time, Zhang Ze Hu's body was covered in bandages and there were marks of blood on the sandbags, clearly showing that he was injured and was recovering in the resupplying base.

    Chen Gu turned his head to look: "Yea, that is Zhang Ze Hu"

    "Heh!" Chen Gu walked to the door and delightly yelled, "Mountain Tiger, what's wrong? Weren't you just fine last time, how come you got so injured in just a blink of an eye?"

    Zhang Ze Hu, who was outside walking and chatting with his comrades, turned his head and saw Chen Gu and Luo Feng at the door. He got so mad his teeth started to itch, and as his anger raged, he gave a loud, mocking retort: "Fire Cannon Chen, your fire hammer squad is an elite squad, so how come you brought a rookie? Haha, I bet your entire team will get dragged down by that burden!"

    Elite squads usually aren't willing to bring rookies.

    Because even if the rookie's body fitness is good, without any experience, he could mess up during crucial moments, which could mess up the veteran members.


    ※※※

    Zhang Ze Hu and Chen Gu exchanged some insults, but because captain 'Twin Hammer' Gao Feng's yell, Zhang Ze Hu went silent. Even though he was brave enough to argue with Chen Gu at times, he didn't dare to argue with Gao Feng! Because, Gao Feng uses cold weapons while Chen Gu uses heated weapons.

    With heated weapons, even if you reach the top, you can only reach the 'beginner warlord rank', because heated weapons like guns usually can only harm 'low level commander level' monsters.

    Zhang Ze Hu was very close to the 'warlord' rank.

    "****, can't believe Luo Feng drifted into the fire hammer squad". Zhang Ze Hu walked with his comrades on the road, his mouth still cursing, "I thought he would get into a regular squad. That way, I can cruelly teach him a lesson to let him know the consequences of messing with me. However, he got in the fire hammer squad!"

    Zhang Ze Hu's teeth seethed in rage.

    "Tiger, that young man next to Chen Gu just now, is the Luo Feng who made you spend 100 million?" said the one-eyed middle aged man next to him.

    "Yea, that's him"

    Zhang Ze Hu's eyes shone fiercely, "This rabbit, I didn't think he'd be so cocky. After that discussion, right after I turned my head, the security agency ran straight to my nephew's home! This kid actually reported it to the security agency. I quickly gave the country a hundred million to let my nephew attain the 'one star civilian' rank. However, even after that, my nephew is still going to get locked up for a few months".

    When he thinks about how nervous his older brother was, and Zhang Hao Bai's shock and horror as he was taken by the security agency, Zhang Ze Hu got even more mad.

    Although later he spent 100 million to keep his nephew. However, Zhang Hao Bai wasn't able to escape a few months of pain in jail.

    "It's ok, don't think too much. Letting your nephew go through some hardship is good for him" The one-eyed middle aged man laughed softly, "You should use this time to rest. Your wounds should heal in about three days, and then we'll depart and can keep dealing with that old guy. After killing that old guy, our team will become rich".

    "Okay" Zhang Ze Hu nodded heavily, and he stole a glance at the E6 building in the distance and sneered, "I'm willing to bet that Luo Feng will either die or receive a heavy wound in his first entry into the wilderness!"

    "Haha, you sure hold a grudge against him. However, it is indeed hard to avoid injury in the first entry into the wilderness" laughed the one-eyed middle aged man.


    ※※※

    Midnight, the fully equipped six members of the fire hammer squad departed the resupply base and entered the wilderness.

    "Chen Gu, give me one of your metal boxes" commanded captain Gao Feng.

    "Haha, thanks captain. I can handle carrying these boxes for a short period of time, but not for long periods" said Chen Gu as he handed one of his big metal boxes over to captain Gao Feng. Gao Feng easily took it with one hand and carried it on his back. This amount of weight is nothing to the strongest member of the fire hammer squad, Gao Feng.

    [KA!]

    Chen Gu opened the other box, which had a gray machine gun in it. The gun's muzzle had a metallic luster. Other than the machine gun, there were tons of bullets all packed together, which filled up the entire box. Obviously, there were an immense amount of bullets.

    "Brother Chen, what kind of gun is this?" asked Luo Feng curiously.

    "Type m81, 12.7mm caliber. It can fire 50 to 300 rounds in a minute, adjustable" laughed Chen Gu contented, "The whole gun is made out of 3rd grade Ke-Luo alloy, so even if it continuously fires bullets, the heat of the gun won't affect the accuracy of the bullets".

    Luo Feng asked curiously: "Brother Chen, how come you don't use the fire-god cannon? Don't the machine guns of the fire-god series have the greatest power?"

    "You rookie!"

    Chen Gu glared.

    Spear 'Zhang Ke' laughed on the side and said: "Luo Feng, the machine guns of the fire-god series do indeed have great power. However, the fire-god series uses up crazy amounts of bullets. It fires 7,000 shots in a minute, and some can shoot even faster. Do you know what that means? 7,000 shots in one minute. And bullets that can harm a low level commander level monster is at lightest 50 grams! Ten thousand bullets will weigh 500 kg!"

    "Running hundreds of miles with 500 kg of bullets on your back. And finally, when you kill the monster, after a minute or so your fire-god cannon has used up all its bullets". Zhang Ke laughed and looked at Luo Feng, "So what do you say? Is the fire-god cannon good?"

    Luo Feng was startled.

    He really did not understand this. Yes, the weight of the bullets is a big problem. 7,000 bullets in a minute, how many bullets do you have to bring with you for the entire trip?

    "Hauling a huge amount of bullets along with a fire-god cannon is only done by the army or when dealing with a specific type of monster. Usually, people like us will never use those types of guns, since there aren't that many bullets for it". Chen Gu laughed at himself, "I brought 10,000 bullets this time and even asked the captain to help me carry some".

    Chen Gu had bullet chains wrapped all over his body and held a machine gun. With Luo Feng, these two were in the middle of the team, protected by the others.

    The twin moon scimitar brothers were in front of the team.

    Captain Gao Feng and Zhang Ke were in the back.

    "We'll head along this highway. After about three days, we should reach our destination——#0201 country level city", said captain Gao Feng, but Luo Feng couldn't help but to keep looking at the highway in front of him. For the people living in the cities, highways only exist in legends.

    The highway under their feet was already ruined; tons of cracks have already opened up on it.

    Looking ahead, there were tons of broken or split cars, vans, and trucks all over the highway as it stretched down. There were even some broken tires lying around. Sometimes, you can see marks of dried up blood on the floor too.

    "Let's go!"

    The red light of the sunset shone on this quiet, rundown highway that has been broken for dozens of years. The six members of the fire hammer squad continued to head forward.


    [GROWL~~]

    [WAIL~~]

    Waves and waves of howling from the monsters carried from the two fields and ruined villages on the sides of the highway. Even Luo Feng could see quite a few monsters. The other five members of the fire hammer squad were relaxed, but Luo Feng was completely tense..... because he could feel the monsters everywhere.

    "Hm, Luo Feng, there's a horned boar ahead. I'll leave it to you" captain Gao Feng's voice rang, "This will be your first battle in the wilderness!"

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 2: Horned boar

    Volume 3 Chapter 2: Horned boar

    "Luo Feng, this is your first battle, so don't get cocky. These monsters are much more ferocious than the ones they breed in the military" Chen Gu solemnly reminded. Luo Feng laughed, he knew brother Chen was worried about him. In this fire hammer squadron, he is definitely closer with Chen Gu and Zhang Ke, who are also in the Ming-Yue sector.
    As for captain Gao Feng and Wei Jia brothers....

    Since he was new and wasn't familiar with them, it was going to be hard to get Gao Feng and his group's recognition.

    "Good luck, Luo Feng. With your current speed and reaction speed, you're just at the level of an 'Advanced Fighter'. Your power is also nearing that level too. There should be no problem facing this horned boar" Spear Zhang Ke, surprisingly, also gave some words of encouragement.

    The other three, captain Gao Feng and the Wei Jia brothers, watched Luo Feng.


    [CHI!]

    Luo Feng pulled out his ghost blade. With his left hand holding his shield and his right hand holding his ghost blade, he smiled: "Captain, brother Chen, watch me get that horned boar's horn". As he said that, Luo Feng rushed towards it.

    They watched Luo Feng go.

    "Captain, don't you think giving Luo Feng a rank F horned boar is expecting too much out of him for his first fight?" Chen Gu couldn't help but to say, "Even though our fire hammer squad should test him, we have to do it step by step. It'll be better if we get a rank G monster instead"

    "Yeah, we can't rush this" Zhang Ke also spoke.

    "There's no problem with the captain's arrangements" The older of the Wei Jia brothers, 'Wei Tie', said lowly, "Luo Feng's body fitness level isn't inferior to that beast. Even though it is a bit difficult, he should be able to win with a bit of suffering and pain".

    "But this is his first time entering the wilderness" Zhang Ke wasn't convinced.

    "So what if it's his first time? I don't want him to become a burden. Or else, how are we supposed to hunt some stronger monsters with a rookie?" Wei Qing frowned on the side.


    At this time——

    Out of the five veteran members of the fire hammer squad, Chen Gu and Zhang Ke were clearly on Luo Feng’s side, while the Wei Jia brothers were suspicious of him.

    "Stop arguing" Gao Feng spoke.

    Chen Gu and the others quieted down.

    "Watch, talk after watching Luo Feng's battle with the horned boar" Gao Feng said expressionlessly.

      ※※

    Like a nimble jaguar, Luo Feng raced to the back of a flipped car on the highway. From there, he looked towards the horned boar that wasn't too far away. All the hairs on the boar were black, and each hair was like a black needle. And its horn was like an edged blade!

    Under the light of the evening sun, the horn's edge reflected a freezing coldness.

    If the iron fur boar in the fighter combat exam was like a heavy, savage hummer, then this horned boar is——a flexible, sturdy existence!

    "This is my first battle, so I need to put on a good show"

    "I was only able to join the fire hammer squad because of two reasons: Chief instructor Zhu Ge's request, but more importantly, brother Chen and brother Zhang's help". Luo Feng was clear on one point: it was very hard for a rookie to join an elite fighter squad. Captain Gao Feng and the Wei Jia brothers are clearly suspicious of me, so I need to prove myself with this battle!

    Luo Feng stared at the horned boar, who was currently searching for prey.

    The three levels, H, G, F, are the titles for low level soldier, medium level soldier, and high level soldier, respectively. Clearly, the horned boar in front was nearing the F level.

    [HOWL~~HOWL~~]

    The horned boar roared and scanned the surrounding with its murderous stare.

    "It found me". Luo Feng's heart rate increased, and he was a bit excited.

    [BOOM!] The horned boar flew ferociously towards him, like a high speed tank. It directly rammed into the 'flipped hummer' that was in front of Luo Feng. Luo Feng dashed away like a nimble monkey, and with a boom, the hummer was blasted away and rolled several times on the highway. The hummer that has been exposed to the sun and wind for several decades immediately split up, and the tires rolled on the highway for a while until they stopped.

    Within a moment of dodging, Luo Feng headed straight towards the horned boar.

    "Die, scum!" howled Luo Feng.

    Like lightning, he shot towards the horned boar, and the ghost blade in his hand instantly flashed towards the horned boar's neck. It seemed like the horned boar that just rammed the hummer didn't have enough time to dodge, but right when Luo Feng approached it——

    [XIU]

    A black shadow headed straight towards Luo Feng's brain.

    "So fast". Luo Feng was startled, and with a step of his foot, he barely managed to twist his body to evade the black shadow. This black shadow was the horned boar's tail, which was like a steel whip!

    “Puff!” “Puff!”

    After retracting its tail, the horned boar soared nimbly, and flew straight towards Luo Feng. Its rough, steel hooves and its sharp, blade-like horn were headed straight at him.

    "****, this boar is too damn fast" Luo Feng stepped back again and he raised the shield in his hand.

    [BAM!]

    The shield and the horned boar's hooves collided ferociously. In the moment of collision, Luo Feng used the rebounding force to go into a dive, where he rolled on the floor to divert the force. The horned boar chased right after him, and Luo Feng rolled to a broken truck and, with a dart, got behind the truck.

    With the truck blocking, the horned boar's lunge wasn't able to achieve its desired effect.


    .....

    After watching this scene from afar, the five members of the fire hammer squad all slightly nodded.

    "Captain, Luo Feng has good reflexes doesn't he" laughed Chen Gu.

    Captain Gao Feng smiled as he nodded: "He is good. I thought he would have a hard time with this horned boar on his first time! I didn't think his reflexes would be so good. His basic skills are pretty good too, his shield block was done skillfully, and his movements flowed like water. This Luo Feng didn't even receive any injury from the barrage of attacks from the horned boar! Good!"


    The Wei Jia brothers' cold expressions finally loosened up a bit.

    "Wei Tie, Wei Qing, Luo Feng's good ain't he" Zhang Ke let out a smile too.

    "This battle isn't over yet, so we still can't tell" said Wei Tie coldly.

    The five members of the fire hammer squad continued watching the battle between Luo Feng and the horned boar.

    .....

    Luo Feng was concentrating extremely hard, and thought to himself: "This horned boar is so sinister; he purposefully made me think it was weak at the beginning. And then it suddenly used its tail to attack me and then rushed me with its hooves and horn. Along with the final crazy dash..... it chained all of these into a combo. Thankfully I've been practicing the
    《Nine Stage Thunder Blade》these past few days, so I have more precise control over all of my strength!"

    He has been practicing the Nine Stage Thunder Blade this past month.

    It seems that Luo Feng will need to use some of his spiritual force to be able to get out of the horned boar's barrage unscathed.

    [ROAR~~] The horned boar howled, it didn't foolishly collide into the truck, but it jumped over it and rushed straight towards Luo Feng.

    "Scum, this time, you're dead!"

    Luo Feng ferociously kicked the tire next to him, and as if it was launched by a trebuchet, it flew straight towards the horned boar. The horned boar didn't slow down at all; it merely lowered its head slightly. The horn on its head, whose sharpness had no rival, split the tire in half, which then fell apart and dropped.

    Luo Feng headed straight towards the horned boar after kicking the tire.

    [ROAR~~] Right after hitting the tire away, the horned boar turned its head and directed its horn towards Luo Feng.

    "Die!"

    At this moment, Luo Feng made a flexible turn like a butterfly and just barely evaded the horn. While turning, the ghost blade in Luo Feng's hand, with help from the rotational energy, slashed instantly! The ghost blade then picked up even more speed during the slash!

    “Puff!”

    As fast as lightning, the spinning blade directly hacked into the neck of the horned boar. Luo Feng could clearly feel the rigidness and toughness of the hair of the horned boar. No regular bullet could pierce through this hair.

    Fresh, red blood leaked out, and after cutting into 5 cm of the boar's neck, Luo Feng's blade couldn't go any deeper.

    [HOWL~~]The horned boar howled crazily, and ferociously turned its head to ram into Luo feng.

    The injured horned boar, became even more fierce!

    ......

    "What!"

    "Such agile technique!"

    The Wei Jia brothers' faces were filled with shock.

    "He could dodge the horn of the horned boar so delicately!", exclaimed the older sibling 'Wei Tie', "Incredible. And he dared to turn in front of the horned boar's horn like that. Wasn't he afraid of the horned boar's 'horn' piercing through his body? Amazing. Is this bullshit luck, or does he actually have skill?"

    The turn seemed simple, but it revealed Luo Feng's astonishing technique.

    "Good"

    "Beautiful" Chen Gu and Zhang Ke couldn't help but to praise.

    "This kid, has strength" laughed Gao Feng with a smile, "In such a dangerous situation, he dared to do such a thing and was even successful. His technique is not average! His timing was also good, but..... this boar's life force is incredibly strong. Killing this horned boar is no easy task"

    The five members of the fire hammer squad, including the Wei Jia brothers, all let out a smile.

    The five of them continued to watch from far away, the battle between Luo Feng and the crazed horned boar!

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 3: Astonishing progress

    Volume 3 Chapter 3: Astonishing progress

    PA! PA!

    Foul blood streamed along the thick skin of the horned boar's neck, dripping onto the dust filled highway. The horned boar had a crazed look in its eyes, and as it howled deeply, it madly rushed at Luo Feng again and again like lightning. The hooves, horn, and tail: all three kinds of attacks kept coming unrelentlessly.

    "After its head injury, the flexibility in its head turning has clearly decreased by a lot". Luo Feng dodged agilely.

    In the fighter combat exam, he fought seven H level monsters at the same time to train himself. Even though the concentrated attacks of seven H level monsters are a bit below the level of the F level horned boar, the difference wasn't large.

    WHOOSH!

    Luo Feng didn't retreat. With an elegant dodge to the side, the horned boar's horn missed Luo Feng's body by just three centimeters. However, these three centimeters acted like a barrier, so the horned boar couldn't harm Luo Feng at all.

    "Attack!"

    The ghost blade in Luo Feng's hand came crashing down! It brought an ear piercing sound, and the horned boar immediately howled out in rage. It used all of its might on its four hooves to try and avoid Luo Feng's blade. But..... Luo Feng's blade was too fast, and only the sound of the blade entering its flesh was heard.

    CHI——

    Another strike to the neck. Even though it wasn't in the same location as before, this one cut into a depth of 8 cm!

    "Hmph, with its last injury, the muscles of its neck couldn't exert a hundred percent of its force to block the attack. Next time I attack, its neck's defense will be even weaker". Right when Luo Feng slashed into the neck, he immediately retreated, easily avoiding the crazed counter attack from the enraged horned boar. After that, Luo Feng closed the distance again!

    [ROAR~~ ROAR~~] The horned boar let out an enraged howl.

    "Last time!"

    Luo Feng swayed for three steps, causing an illusion, and then once again dodged the horned boar's attack. What followed those agile steps was Luo Feng's sharp blade!"

    "PU-CHI"

    At first, it was quite difficult to slash into, but after cutting into a depth of 12 cm, the resistance rapidly decreased. After Luo Feng's ghost blade cut into two thirds of the horned boar's neck, he pulled out his blade and rapidly retreated!

    Blood flowed like a fountain from that gigantic wound!


    [Ao~~~]came a shrill. The horned boar's entire body was twitching, and its hooves were stomping unconsciously. The asphalt of the highway was cracking under the stomping. After that, the unconscious boar threw itself around and crashed against the curved railing at the side of the highway, breaking it and falling down.

    Its noise got weaker, and then it stopped.

    Luo Feng stood beside the broken highway railing, looking down on the horned boar's corpse whose head was about to fall off. Blood rapidly stopped flowing, since almost all of it has flowed out already. There was probably at least a barrels worth of blood that flowed out.

    "Dead!" Luo Feng leaped down and, using his ghost blade, cut off the horn.

    The most important part of the horned boar's body is just this one horn!


      ※※※

    The five members of the fire hammer squad couldn't help but to let out a breathe as they watched from afar.

    "Abnormal!"

    "Monster!"

    These two words came from the Wei Jia brothers' mouths.

    "How is he, I made a good recommendation, haven't I" bragged Chen Gu. If we say the five of them were surprised before, then now they are completely shocked and stunned.

    "Incredible" Zhang Ke couldn't help but to say.

    Captain Twin Hammer "Gao Feng" stared at Luo Feng as he cut off the horn: "How is Luo Feng's technique so good? The horned boar is above him in pure speed by a bit, but his consecutive dodges were light and smooth. Every dodge was like a cloud or a flowing river! If he can do this technique hundreds of thousands of times, then that'll be the Ru-Wei class!"

    "He's only 18, if he's Ru-Wei class! He should be sent to the world headquarters’ dojo to undergo special training" The older sibling of the Wei Jia brothers, 'Wei Tie', couldn't help but to say.

    Ru-Wei class.....


    Is a perfect dodge by using the smallest amount of power possible to delicately avoid the attack! This kind of dodge is extremely difficult, and an average fighter can only pull it off once or twice. However, if you can do it a hundred times or a thousand times, then that means you're truly Ru-Wei class!

    "We've obtained a gem!" Gao Feng let out a smile.

    The younger sibling, 'Wei Qing', surprisingly nodded too: "Hm, after some nurturing, our fire hammer squad will have another capable member".

    "Me and Wei Qing will teach him" said Wei Tie.

    Chen Gu and Zhang Ke laughed. As veterans who have walked on the border of life and death countless times, it was clear to them. Some geniuses have amazing body fitness levels, but when they actually have to fight a monster, they can't even bring out a tenth of their strength. Because of this, Chen Gu and Zhang Ke usually look down on these so called geniuses.

    A true professional has to go through countless dangerous battles!

    And Luo Feng was able to show such skill in his first battle. Clearly, he was a powerful fighter.

    "Captain" Luo Feng ran over, "This horn....."

    "You killed it, so of course this horn belongs to you" said Gao Feng.

    Luo Feng nodded, and accepted it.


    There isn't much on a soldier level monster's body that's worth money, because all of the soldier level monsters can be killed by heated weapons..... Even a beginner warrior, with a machine gun and good shooting technique, could easily kill many soldier level monsters. So solider level monsters aren't worth money!

    "If you sell this horn to the dojo, you'll probably get three thousand dollars and some contribution points. If you sell it to the underground alliance, you can probably get five thousand" laughed Chen Gu.

    Only the material on the body is worth money.

    And important material on a "commander level monster" is worth a crazy amount of money!

    "Luo Feng, with your performance just now, you barely pass" said the older sibling of the Wei Jia brothers, 'Wei Tie', as he pouted.

    "Brother Tie?" Luo Feng looked over, "Please guide me, brother Tie".

    "Your basics are good, but your efficiency is much too low" said Wei Tie coldly, "wait a bit and watch how I kill a F level monster".

      ……

    What Luo Feng killed was a monster nearing the F level. After they departed, they quickly encountered a F rank cat family 'Ocelot monster'. This ocelot had some stripes on it and was as tough as a bull. It was superior to the horned boar in flexibility and savageness by far.

    "Watch me" said Wei Tie coldly.

    WHOOSH!

    With the shield in his left hand and scimitar in his right, he charged straight towards the ocelot in a straight line!

    "Brother Tie is in the advanced warrior class, so his body fitness level is similar to this F level ocelot" Luo Feng watched carefully. He only observed that Wei Tie wasn't trying to dodge anything and just crashed into the ocelot. No, actually, right when the ocelot was about to crash into Wei Tie...

    Wei Tie's body moved sideways and his shield crashed into the ocelot at an angle.

    Crashing at this angle knocked the ocelot off balance, causing it to stagger to the side.

    "PU-CHI!"

    A sinister cold light made an arc against the shield. It flashed across the exposed throat of the ocelot due to it being knocked off balance. Soon after, fresh blood sprayed out like a fountain, and Wei Tie retreated quickly. He coldly looked at the ocelot monster howling in pain until it slowly fell over and lost its breath.

    Wei Tie cut off the ocelot's tail and took out an almost transparent tendon. He put it in his bag and walked back.

    "Did you see that? My technique wasn't better than yours, and my power didn't exceed yours. However, I was able to kill it in one hit" Wei Tie looked at Luo Feng.

    Luo Feng fell into shock.

    The battle just now was finished in a flash. But for his battle, he had to dodge so many attacks and attack the neck of the horned boar over and over again. It took him quite a bit of energy to kill it. And that horned boar was clearly weaker than this ocelot monster.


    "Think about it deeply" Wei Tie didn't explain anything and let Luo Feng think about it himself.

    Luo Feng was completely shocked.

    Wei Tie's speed and technique weren't anything out of the ordinary, and yet he produced such amazing results!

    "The best way to kill a monster is to aim for its weak points!". The younger sibling of the Wei Jia brothers, 'Wei Qing', said indifferently, "Usually for mammals, their weak points are their eyes, throat, and mouth. One stage below that would be their soft abdomen..... one stage below that would be the neck you were slashing into!"

    Luo Feng nodded, he knew this. But the monsters move so quickly, so stabbing their eyes is difficult! And for the horned boar and the ocelot who always lower their heads so much, hitting the throat is hard too. Even the abdomen is hard to hit, so attacking the neck was the simplest way.

    "There won't be many chances to attack the monster's weak points. The monsters aren’t stupid, they'll protect their weak points properly"

    "However, if there aren't any chances, then you can make them!"

    "For example, my brother crashed into the ocelot at an angle with his shield, causing it to lose its balance. This made the ocelot expose its throat for a split second. He used his scimitar to slash it from the bottom of his shield and into the throat, which killed the ocelot in an instant" Wei Qing said coldly, "This was the last attack my brother did, and it was from the bottom of his shield, so the monster couldn't react at all!"

    Luo Feng nodded.

    "Remember, learn how to use your strong points" said Wei Qing, "You have to use them efficiently and cleanly! Your technique is good, but you don't have to flash your technique around every time to kill the monster. Always move towards the most efficient way to kill the monster"

    "Understood" Luo Feng nodded.

    Wei Qing let out a rare smile.

    "Let's go" laughed Gao Feng as he waved.

      ……

    The fire hammer squad clearly wanted Luo Feng to become a capable member in the future, so they trained him seriously. On the road, Wei Qing and Wei Tie took turns fighting the monsters that appeared, and sometimes let Luo Feng deal with them too. They taught him with words and techniques, and let Luo Feng get some real experience. Luo Feng's rate of improvement was also just as astonishing.

    Even the warlord level Gao Feng fought a few times, guiding Luo Feng in the process.

    Luo Feng knew, that you have to make each attack bring out all of its strength to kill a monster. And when he was fighting the horned boar before, his beautiful dodges were, in fact, useless! Luo Feng's attacks slowly became more sharp, direct, and effective!

    Three days later

    Dawn, on the broken city ring road, the six members of the fire hammer squad were moving forward.

    "There are two F level mastiff lions, Luo Feng, go" commanded captain Gao Feng.

    "Yes, captain"


    Luo Feng laughed and grinned, and headed towards the mastiff lions at an average speed.

    "HOWL~~" "HOWL~~" the mastiff lions roared at the incoming Luo Feng with bloodthirsty madness in their eyes. They didn't care much for this human in front of them, but when they got really near each other— —Luo Feng let out a smile on his face

    WHOOSH!

    His speed accelerated rapidly! Both of the mastiff lion monster's hairs all stood up.

    Luo Feng closed the distance in an instant. The four abnormal steps he did was the 《Nine Stage Thunder Blade》technique 'Flowing Light'. He baited the claws of the mastiff lions, and with a twist of his body, accurately dodged their claws. As their bodies moved across each other, the ghost blade slashed sinisterly in an instant!

    PU! Slashed right in the throat.

    Luo Feng charged forwards and turned his head towards the other mastiff lion monster.

    "HOWL~~" when the mastiff lion monster saw fresh blood spraying from its comrade's throat, it howled and retreated swiftly.

    Chen Gu, Gao Feng, and the other members of the fire hammer squad let out a smile as they watched.

    Even though Luo Feng isn't as experienced as the Wei Jia brothers, but because of his technique, Luo Feng's killing power is not worse than either the older or younger sibling of the Wei Jia family.

    "Luo Feng, let's go, hurry and enter the town! The mastiff lions are gregarious. The mastiff lion that ran away will soon bring a whole pack of them over here" laughed Chen Gu. Luo Feng laughed as they all united. The six members of the fire hammer squad finally reached their destination——0201 country level city.

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 4: Key Position

    Volume 3 Chapter 4: Key Position

    The fire hammer squad quietly entered the suburban part of the #0201 country level city.
    "Luo Feng, we ran along the highway these past three days, which belongs to the desolate area." as they walked, Chen Gu kept his voice low and said, "most of the monsters live in the city and in the built-up areas! Places like the counties and urban areas are the truly dangerous locations!"

    "Understood, brother Chen" nodded Luo Feng.

    Luo Feng already read about the common habits of monsters in the posts.

    In the long war between monsters and humans, monsters found that if they live in relatively empty areas, the human army and fighters could lock-on to them from far away. Without anything to hide behind, the humans could use heavy sniper rifles and missiles to conduct long distance attacks!

    But in the city, there were tons of skyscrapers.

    As long as the monsters hid in the urban areas, snipers will rarely have a chance, unless they go inside the city! And right when the human army enters the city, they'll have to fight with the monsters on the streets, where the monsters will have an overwhelming advantage. Urban areas are the monsters' heaven!


    "Naturally, the target for our fire hammer squad is a commander level monster! However....." reminded Chen Gu in a small voice, "A commander level monster is intelligent, around the level of a human. The commander level monster will command large amounts of soldier level monsters to surround it. Virtually every commander level monster will be surrounded by large amounts of soldier level monsters, so it's very difficult to kill a commander level monster".

    Luo Feng nodded.

    A soldier and a commander not only have a large difference in strength, but also——intelligence!

    To protect their lives, a commander level monster will naturally summon large amounts of soldier level monsters to protect it. Other than the extremely rare monsters that like to be independent, most commanders will be surrounded by soldiers.

    "Everybody be careful, there's a steel clad bull lair up ahead" said Gao Feng suddenly, "The head of this steel clad bull lair is probably a high level commander, and there are large amounts of steel clad bulls in this lair. Let's go around it! Chen Gu, don't shoot. If a steel clad bull attacks, remember, kill it instantly. Don't let the steel clad bull call its comrades".

    "Yes, captain"

    The other five all nodded.

    Unlike the deserted areas outside, the city and the suburbs are much more dangerous.

    The six members of the fire hammer squad carefully moved forward along a narrow path.

    "Halt" the older sibling of the Wei Jia family, 'Wei Tie', who was in front, raised his hand. He stared seriously in front of him, where a gigantic iron fur boar was lying far away. Beside the boar were two mastiff tiger monsters who had their heads lowered and were feasting on large bites of flesh. Suddenly, the mastiff tiger monster rose its head and looked at the fire hammer squad from far away and became much more cautious.

    "We'll go around, don't do anything" said Gao Feng in a small voice.


    On the deserted highway, Luo Feng and the others were relaxed; they could kill monsters whenever they felt like it. However, it's different in the city.

      ……

    After treading carefully on the way, taking at least ten detours, and killing eight regular soldier level monsters instantly, Luo Feng and the others finally arrived at their first destination——a small sector in the #0201 country level city, 'Blue Sky Sector'. The reason why the blue sky sector was the fire hammer squad's first target was because there were three residential apartments that were 21 stories high.

    "Go, to the roof"

    "Everyone be careful, a monster might pop out of who knows where in the building"

    "Don't make too much noise"

    The six members of the fire hammer squad went along the staircase.

    "Howl~~~" a low pitched howl emanated within the building, which made the six members of the fire hammer squad frown. Wei Tie, who was furthest in front, said in a small voice: "It should be upstairs, everybody be careful". Everybody had their weapon in hand and were prepared to strike. And Chen Gu, who used heated weapons, was being protected in the center.

    They went forward one step at a time.

    "Hm?" Luo Feng saw a two meter tall lion mastiff monster suddenly appear from the corner in front. It's fur was long and it looked like a gigantic military SUV. When the lion mastiff monster saw the them, it immediately howled, sending a blood scented wind at them.


    The fire hammer squad was going upstairs and the lion mastiff monster dived at them with the energy gained from its gigantic body.

    WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

    Wei Tie and Wei Qing in the front had almost identical movements. With a shield in one hand and a scimitar in the other, they charged forward at the same time and barely grazed the lion mastiff monster's body. As their bodies grazed past each other, the scimitars drew curved lines that passed through the joints of the lion mastiff's front claws.

    The brothers Wei Tie and Wei Qing used the exact same technique!

    This caused the front two claws of the lion mastiff monster to stagger and fall onto the stairs. At this time, spear 'Zhang Ke', who was behind Wei Tie and Wei Qing, instantly moved forward. His alloyed spear carried a metallic sound with it as he pierced the lion mastiff monster's head.

    PU-CHI! The spear instantly pierced through the lion mastiff monster's eyes and went through its head!

    "ROAR~~" The lion mastiff monster unconsciously stepped forward twice and then fell powerlessly.

    The cooperation between Wei Qing, Wei Tie, and Zhang Ke was indeed marvelous! The first two took care of the lion mastiff's front limbs to make it lose its balance, which was immediately followed up by Zhang Ke's spear for a one hit kill! Zhang ke was horrifyingly accurate with his spear, he actually pierced right through the eye.


      ……

    In the process of climbing up the staircase, the fire hammer squad encountered three monsters, which was considered quite lucky. Out of these three monsters, one of them actually charged up from the ground level. At that time, Luo Feng and Gao Feng were at the back of the team, so naturally it was Luo Feng who had to cleanly kill the G level monster.

      ※※※

    After exiting the staircase, the six members of the fire hammer squad arrived at the rooftop of the 21 story residential apartment.

    "Shut the door to the staircase, shut it completely freaking tight!" commanded Gao Feng, "Stop any monsters from running up here to the rooftop".

    "Yes'.

    Luo Feng and Zhang Ke went to close the steel doors of the staircase, and found a steel rod to jam the door.

    "Phew, we can finally loosen up a bit" a rare smile appeared on Zhang Ke's face. He directly sat on his bottom on the roof and took out some high carb food and water.

    "Everyone brought their binoculars right" said Gao Feng, "Everyone take out their binoculars and look down from the roof and try to find a commander level monster! Remember, don't expose your body too much; it'll be a bit troublesome if a monster discovers you!". However, it was actually very safe on the rooftop.

    The residential apartment was 21 stories high, so most of the monsters couldn't climb up from the outside anyway.

    Even if a commander level monster commands the monsters to slaughter their way up, how wide is the staircase? The threat wasn't large. The fire hammer squad has enough time to completely escape.

    "Start searching for a commander level monster"

    "Yo guys, time to start finding some monsters"


    Luo Feng also took out his binoculars from his bag, and some supporting tools like screws. Everyone brought them, since they weren't heavy.

    He squatted onto the side of the roof and looked down onto the street. There were large amounts of monsters everywhere he looked: "The city area has at least ten or a hundred times more monsters". And on one of the streets, one glance showed that there were at least hundreds of monsters walking forward.

    Even a warlord level fighter has a slim chance of escaping alive from hundreds of normal monsters.

    "Captain, these are all soldier level monsters"

    "I don't see any commander level monsters here either"

    Five of the members, including the captain, were all holding their binoculars and looking down from the roof at different spots. Only when standing on a high location could you see far. On the roof of a 21 story residential apartment, you can see really far, and also see many monsters.

    "KA!" a steel case opened. The only member of the fire hammer squad who wasn't using a binocular, Chen Gu, opened the steel case. Other than large amounts of ammunition, there was another long, rectangular shaped wooden case in the steel case. In the wooden case, there were a few mechanical parts, which Chen Gu swiftly assembled.

    A moment later——

    A silverish gray heavy sniper rifle that was nearly two meters long was assembled. It's optical aimer device and other things were also completely assembled.

    Chen Gu put special bullets into the clip, for a total of ten bullets.

    "Captain, notify me if you find a commander level monster" said Chen Gu.

    "Yup, you can first sleep for a bit and rest yourself. Leave the search for the commander level monster to us" nodded Gao Feng, while at the same time commanding the others, "Guys, focus and don't miss anything". This was the easiest way to hunt for a commander level monster in the city. Staying at a high location lets you see farther.

    This is ten to a hundred times faster than searching for a commander level monster on the streets, and also much safer.

    Luo Feng, Zhang Ke, the Wei Jia brothers and Gao Feng, the five of them held their binoculars and carefully looked below, while Chen Gu narrowed his eyes and went to sleep while holding his heavy sniper rifle.

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 5: Commander Level Monster

    Volume 3 Chapter 5: Commander Level Monster

    When the six members of the fire hammer squad were searching for a commander level monster and hiding on the rooftop of the blue sky sector's residential hall.... Around 30 km away from the #0201 country level city on the ruined highway was a six-man elite fighter group rushing towards the #0201 country level city.

    All six of them had a tiger shaped medal on their left breast pocket of their battle uniform.

    This was the famous "Tiger Fang Squad" of Jiang-Nan city. There were six people in the tiger fang squad: two of them used heated weapons, and the other four used cold weapons. Two of the four that used cold weapons were warlord level fighters, and the other two were advanced warrior level fighters! And the two that used heated weapons were also warlord level!

    Actually, as long as you have enough talent, experience, and time, it's quite easy to reach the warlord level using heated weapons.

    Because they rely on their guns and bullets!

    "Old Han, have you found that old guy's position yet?" asked Zhang Ze Hu in a small voice. This Zhang Ze Hu was indeed one of the six members of the tiger fang squad, and was an advanced warrior level fighter. In terms of strength, the tiger fang squad was extremely powerful. The weakest members were both advanced warrior level fighters, and these two were barely away from the warlord level.


    "According to the signal flare I left on that old guy, it's probably 40 km away from us. According to me, I'd think it's in the #0201 country level city ahead!" said the guy who was holding and looking at a compass-like instrument.

    "Finally confirmed the position"

    "If we can hunt down this old guy this time, we brothers are gonna be rich".

    The people of the tiger fang squad laughed.

    When they were hunting for monsters before, they found the wolf type monster, 'Hunter', by chance. There were lots of different classifications for the monsters today. Before the Grand Nirvana period, there were mostly pigs, dogs, cats, cows, and sheep in society. So most of the monsters today are mostly pig type, dog type, cat type, cow type, sheep type, snake type, etc. Monsters like foxes, monkeys, scorpions, wolves, tigers, and jaguars are rarer.


    Wolves, tigers, and jaguars were already strong, so after a mutation, they'd become beyond horrifying.

    Of course, since there are so many regular monsters, some of them become horrifying existences.

    For example, one of the cat type monsters is a legendary existence——Nine Lives Demon Cat!

    The Nine Lives Demon Cat is the most frightening monster within the cat type monster category. It has nine tails, and it's strength surpasses a horde leader! On the entire earth, it's considered as one of the scariest monsters in the rankings.

      ……

    Since the wolf type monsters have a high reproduction ability, fighters could often encounter a few wolf type monsters this past decade.

    And the 'Hunter' is one of the most horrifying mutations within the wolf type monster category. They’re also called the king of the wolves——'Silver Moon Wolf', each silver moon wolf is practically independent, and they love hunting other monsters and fighters. As they're also sly and cruel, they got the name of 'Hunter'.

    As of now, the weakest known silver moon wolf is a 'medium commander level monster', so a head of a silver moon wolf is worth a fortune.

    "This hunter we're chasing is probably a "high commander level", practically nearing the horde leader level! Thankfully, this hunter was already wounded when we engaged before, so we were able to give it another heavy wound" said the captain of the tiger fang squad, a dark skinned, thin, short man in a small voice, "As of now, we've already healed up and regained our strength! This time, we have to grab our chance and hunt down this 'Hunter' whose strength has declined greatly".

    "Yes, captain"

    The six members of the tiger fang squad were full of fighting spirit! One dead hunter is practically worth more than one or two years of their income.


      ※※※※※

    On the rooftop of one of the 21 story high residential hall in the blue sky sector.

    Five members of the fire hammer squad had their binoculars pointed down and were looking carefully. Luo Feng held his binocular with his left hand and his water bottle with his right. He drank a little bit of water, put the binoculars down, tightened up the cap of the water bottle and put it into his back. Only after that did he continue looking downwards with his binoculars again.

    "Captain, do we just foolishly wait here?" asked Luo Feng.

    "What do you understand?" Gao Feng laughed as he put down his binoculars, "In this area, a 21 story high residential apartment is already pretty high. From the rooftop, we can scan a radius of 5 km with our binoculars. How big is a country level city? Of course, because some of the buildings are blocking, our efficiency isn't that high. However——this efficiency is already immensely high. Everybody can rest and find monsters. It's the best way.”

    Luo Feng nodded.

    "Captain, you guys come look here" shouted Zhang Ke suddenly as he pointed down in a certain direction.

    WHOOSH!

    The other four ran there, each of them holding their binoculars and looking downwards. Luo Feng also looked towards the direction Zhang ke was pointing at, and through the binoculars he saw that there were horned boars and iron fur boars appearing in some of the streets in the north west direction. There was probably a total of a couple hundred boars, and the number of boars were still increasing in his field of view.


    "Hm?" Luo Feng's eyes flashed. On one of the streets, there was a peculiar monster that was moving slowly and calling upon more pig type monsters. It was completely red and looked like a tank.

    "This is the Bloodthirsty Tank?" said Luo Feng out of shock.

    Out of the pig type monsters, they are ranked at #2——Bloodthirsty Tank herd. It's called a bloodthirsty tank, but they're also a pig type monster. They have a large amount of scales on them and their defense is amazing. At a glance, it resembles an armored tank, and its defense and attack isn't inferior to a real tank at all.

    "It's a bloodthirsty tank!"

    "Man it's a big catch"

    "Captain, according to the color of its scales, it should be around a 'low commander level monster'. Maybe nearing 'medium commander level'".

    Some of the fire hammer squad members started arguing.

    "Hm"Hm, the price of a bloodthirsty tank is quite high" laughed captain Gao Feng, "even though it's only a low commander level monster, its price is comparable to medium commander level monsters. This is a great catch! Everybody cheer up"

    "Old Chen"

    "Chen Gu"

    The captain's voice caused Chen Gu to finally open his eyes. Chen Gu laughed as he stood up, "Yo guys, found a commander level monster?"


    "Come and look" laughed Gao Feng.

    Chen Gu sprinted over and looked through the binoculars. He was astonished as he said: "Damn, its the bloodthirsty tank that's ranked second in the pig type monsters. This guy's defense is crazy; the armor piercing bullets I brought probably wouldn't even be able to pierce through its scales! Looks like it's time to use my precious ones".

    "Hurry, bullets aren't worth that much" persuaded Gao Feng.

    Chen Gu was quick; he immediately sprinted to the steel case, took out three blood-red colored bullets, and changed the bullets in the sniper rifle.

    "PU!"

    Chen Gu laid on the roof and set up his silverish gray heavy sniper rifle. The barrel of the gun reflected the light from the sun. And Chen Gu stuck out his hand to get a feel for the direction, and started doing detailed calculations as he calibrated his optical aimer device. The other five members of the fire hammer squad didn't dare make a sound.

    Suddenly——

    "PENG!" a deep sound full of force rang.

    In practically an instant, the bullet went through the air and shot through. Not only was the power of this alloyed armor piercing bullet destructively high, but its speed was also a couple times higher than the speed of sound. Because it was faster than the speed of sound, the sonic boom it causes is behind the bullet, which means that the sound won't reach the monster until after it has been hit by the bullet.

    The bloodthirsty tank walked slowly on the street, commanding large amounts of monsters.

    "PU!"

    The scales between the back of the ear and the neck instantaneously combusted, dramatically blowing up a hole as the bullet forced its way through.

    "AO~~" the bloodthirsty tank wailed in pain as it started staggering and swaying around. After it regained its balance, the bloodthirsty tank immediately howled in rage and bitterness over and over. In an instant, the large amounts of pig type monsters that were spread out immediately rushed towards it, and the spot where the bloodthirsty tank was hit started bleeding. It kept howling over and over, but it wasn't able to determine where the bullet was shot from.


      ……

    On the roof, Chen Gu slightly raised his head and moved the optical aimer device away from his eye as he said confidently: "My luck was pretty good, I hit its vital spot. This bloodthirsty boar didn't die instantly because its life force is strong, but it'll fall for sure within 5 minutes". The first shot is the most effective shot in long ranged sniping because the commander level monster isn't prepared for it.

    However, if the first bullet fails to strike a vital point, then there'll be trouble.

    And a commander level monster has extremely high defense, so its pretty good if a bullet could just pierce through its armor. Because of that, bullets usually concentrate on high penetration powered 'armor piercing bullets' and not some of the destructive explosion bullets. If you can't even get through the armor, then what's the point of being destructive?

    "Nice shooting" laughed Zhang Ke as he gave a thumbs up.

    "The skull of a bloodthirsty tank is extremely hard. Even if you get through the scales, the bloodthirsty tank isn't affected much" laughed Gao Feng, "Chen Gu, this gun is fantastic". If Chen Gu failed, then they would have to kill all of the monsters guarding the bloodthirsty tank, which is too difficult!

    "Don't praise me too much"

    Chen Gu laughed: "Now you guys have to think of a way to get the corpse of that bloodthirsty tank. There are hundreds of monsters surrounding it. And if we're too slow..... another fighter squad might steal our loot".

    "Don't jinx it, there are probably at most two or three fighter squads in this country level city". Gao Feng laughed, "Alright guys, let's tidy up and depart, to get the corpse down there".

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 6: The corpse of the monster

    Volume 3 Chapter 6: The corpse of the monster

    "Zhang Ke, go and carry one of Chen Gu's steel cases!" commanded Gao Feng.
    "Yes, captain".

    Spear Zhang Ke headed towards Chen Gu, where Chen Gu was currently disassembling his heavy sniper rifle and putting it back into the wooden case. He put the wooden case and large amounts of ammunition into the steel case and handed it over to Zhang Ke. After that, Chen Gu opened the other steel case and took out a grim machine gun. He wrapped the bullet chains around himself and attached one of the ends to the machine gun.

    Luo Feng clicked his tongue after seeing such a sight and couldn't help but to be amazed.

    Heated weapons are usually only very effective against soldier level monsters. For example, there was luck involved in the one shot killing of the 'bloodthirsty tank'. With such a large body and tough skull, even if the bloodthirsty tank gets hit by a bullet, it usually doesn't affect it at all.

    So——

    There are very few spots where you can kill it in one hit. Like the eyes, right below the skullcap, and behind the ears. You have to be extremely accurate when shooting. One, you need skill, and second, you need luck. If the bloodthirsty tank was just a bit more cautious, or even if it just changed its direction, the shot would've missed.

    "Go, go down"

    After Gao Feng's command, Luo Feng and the others went down the staircase and quickly left the blue sky sector.

      ※※※

    Five minutes later, Luo Feng and the others were in a small alley. Wei Tie, who was leading, sneakily made a peek outside, and said as he turned his head: "Captain, the bloodthirsty tank is down and dead".

    "Old Chen, damn nice" Gao Feng gave a thumbs up.

    Chen Gu laughed.

    "However, captain" continued Wei Tie, "there are at least a couple hundred monsters surrounding the body of the bloodthirsty tank. It's gonna be troublesome to retrieve the bloodthirsty tank's corpse". This is the annoying part of killing a commander level monster with far ranged attacks. Even if you succeed, retrieving the valuable materials from the corpse is also very dangerous.

    However——

    It's much safer than killing the commander level monster in the herd of monsters.

    "Same rules, Wei Tie and Wei Qing will distract the herd. When they're confused, we'll go" commanded Gao Feng, and he turned his head towards Luo Feng.

    Luo Feng took a deep breath at this time. Charging at a couple hundred monsters in a herd is indeed the most dangerous situation he's been in so far with the fire hammer squad. Of course, according to the posts he read, these kinds of situations are one of the easier situations that fighter squads have to deal with. There are situations that are tens to hundreds of times more dangerous than this.

    "Luo Feng, you wait next to Chen Gu. Your mission is to protect Chen Gu and not allow any monster to attack him" commanded Gao Feng.

    "Don't worry captain, I definitely won't let even one monster approach brother Chen" nodded Luo Feng.

    Good, let's go!"

    Gao Feng ordered.

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    Two black lights came flying from the brothers Wei Tie and Wei Qing's hands, as if they were lightning. They flew for around a hundred meters and landed in the middle of the herd of monsters. These two black lights were actually two ellipse-shaped black balls. These ellipse-shaped black balls also had a red timer signal on them.

    The monsters that noticed this thing immediately got away in caution.

    Beep! Beep!

    "BOOM~~"

    The two timer bombs exploded ferociously. Flying fragments followed the powerful explosion, causing the two monsters beside them to fall with blood all over their bodies. At the same time, the bombs released large amounts of smokescreen, which quickly spread around in every direction.

    In terms of power, these two timer bombs only killed one monster by luck and harmed five or six of them. Most of the monsters were just affected by the smoke screen.

    "Charge!" commanded Gao Feng.

    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

    Luo Feng also exploded all the strength in his body, with his shield in one hand and his ghost blade in the other. He sprinted quickly and followed Chen Gu. The speed of all six members of the fire hammer squad was astonishing. They were around 150 meters away from the commander level monster's corpse in the herd and they got there in four or five seconds.

    And this was with a decreased speed from running into the middle of the herd.

    Captain Gao Feng moved like lightning and charged forwards. He was holding one of his heavy hammers in one of his hands and started swinging it, and only the two sounds "PENG!", "PENG!" were heard. Two of the soldier level monsters' heads immediately exploded after getting smashed. One side were the medium soldier level monsters and the other was the 'beginner level warlord' fighter whose strength neared an 'intermediate level warlord' fighter.

    The difference in strength was too big!


    He was holding his heavy hammer in one hand, but a dagger in the other. In almost an instant, he was next to the corpse of the 'bloodthirsty tank', and he rapidly stuck his dagger into the hole made by the bullet behind the bloodthirsty tank's ear. While Gao Feng was dissecting this corpse and getting the materials, the other five members of the fire hammer squad were in danger.

    "Hurry, Luo Feng, protect old Chen well" said Zhang Ke as he waved his spear.

    The brothers Wei Qing and Wei Tie were protecting Gao Feng. With the bloodthirsty tank's defense, if it was Wei Tie or Luo Feng dissecting it, a large amount of time would be needed. However, with Gao Feng's astonishing strength, half a minute is enough time.

    "HOWL~~"

    "ROAR~~"

    The surrounding monsters discovered Luo Feng and the others and started charging at them. It was like a heavy hummer charging at over 100 km/h at them.

    "Get out" with two skillful steps, Luo Feng smashed the shield in his left hand into the charging horned boar as he dodged, pushing the horned boar off balance. Its gigantic body fell over and shook the ground as it fell onto the already cracked concrete sidewalk, causing large amounts of dust to rise.

    Luo Feng didn't want to kill the enemy, he just wanted to survive for half a minute.

    "XIU!" "XIU!"


    Zhang Ke waved his spear, killing two soldier level monsters and beating down three of them. After that, those three enraged monsters howled and surrounded Zhang Ke as they charged at him. Zhang Ke didn't have a shield; he only used his one spear.

    "Not good", after slashing with his spear, Zhang Ke's face changed.

    "ROAR~~" the speed of an iron fur boar charging is at least 50 m/s. The size of its body is like a small truck, but its speed rivals a sports car's. And not only did Zhang Ke not have the time to block, but there were also three monsters surrounding him in front too.

    "I'm going to receive a heavy wound this time". Zhang Ke clenched his teeth.

    "PENG!"


    A shadow appeared from the side and it stomped on the charging iron fur's body. Doing so under such a high speed would cause you to lose a lot of control over your body. The iron fur boar also lost control after getting stomped and it directly fell over. However, it quickly crawled back up.

    "Brother Zhang, let's hang on here" said Luo Feng.

    "Luo Feng, thanks!" yelled ZHang Ke gratefully. If it wasn't for Luo Feng, Zhang Ke would've definitely received a heavy wound. Zhang Ke thought to himself: "Letting Luo Feng join the fire hammer squad was indeed a good idea. And his steps are so quick and agile".

    "Great technique" praised Chen Gu who was under protection.

    At this time, there were a couple hundred monsters in the herd, and the fight between Luo Feng and the few dozen at the beginning soon attracted many more monsters. Thankfully, the smoke screen blocked their vision and the herd hasn't been able to effectively bring out their full power.

    "Not good, captain, hurry"

    Wei Tie couldn't help but to yell.

    With every passing second, the fire hammer squad's situation worsens. The monsters surrounding them quickly increased in number.

    "Chen Gu, fire!" commanded Gao Feng who was squatting beside the bloodthirsty tank's corpse and being protected by the Wei Jia brothers.

    "Yes".


    Chen Gu licked his lips and smiled savagely. Luo Feng and Zhang Ke, who were beside Chen Gu, immediately stepped back. As Chen Gu pressed the trigger, "TU TU TU~~~" a stream of light sprayed out of the muzzle like crazy. Each and every bullet was an expensive armor piercing bullet that Chen Gu bought.

    They're even a bit threatening to a commander level monster.

    "HOWL~"

    In an instant, large amounts of monsters started howling in pain as the crazily shot armor piercing bullets started entering their bodies. These monsters were strong in vitality, so they usually don't die even after being shot. Only firing at their heads can you kill them in one shot! These armor piercing bullets won't go through a commander level monster's skull, but they usually have no problem with soldier level monsters.

    PENG! One of the monster's cerebrospinal liquid flew out.

    PU! One of the monsters that fell had another hole in its body.

    "Haha..... die, die" as if Chen Gu was going mad, ke-luo alloyed armor piercing bullets continuously streamed from the gun's muzzle. The bullets virtually suppressed a whole side of the herd. Luo Feng and Zhang Ke were stopping the other side of the monsters from attacking Chen Gu.

    As the gun fired, the monsters in the smokescreen were able to quickly determine the correct direction and charged madly.

    When fighting a herd, Chen Gu's skill with the machine gun makes one fighter equal around ten fighters! However, as the machine gun fires, it attracts the attention of other monsters.

    "Okay, let's go"

    Chen Gu, who finished harvesting the material, commanded in a low voice, which made Luo Feng and the others sigh in relief.

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    The six members of the fire hammer squad started escaping.

    "RUMBLE~~" hundreds of enraged monsters started chasing them. One running monster is enough to shake the concrete earth. Hundreds of them running together made it seem like an earthquake was going on. The entire street and even the ruined homes and apartments beside them started shaking. They even gave off a rumbling echo.

    "Herds sure are scary" Luo Feng turned his head and looked back. The hundreds of monsters that were mad enough to almost go crazy were practically flying at them, so it was quite a startling scene.

    "Over here"

    The fire hammer squad immediately slipped into an alley. The alley was very narrow, so two monsters couldn't walk side by side at the same time; they could only enter one by one. Taking advantage of this, the fire hammer squad kept slipping into small alleys in the built-up areas. They soon shook off the entire herd of monsters.


      ※※※※

    Half an hour later.

    Luo Feng and the others quietly came to a roof of a hotel that was 18 stories high.

    "Haha, everybody did a great job this time" laughed captain Gao Feng, "Chen Gu, that shot was brilliant. Luo Feng, you were great too, you saved Zhang Ke. Yup, this 'bloodthirsty tank' is a medium commander level monster, and it's one of the hardest medium commander level monsters to hunt. We sure made a bit of cash this time. I wouldn't have thought that we'd make this much on our first day; we sure got a ton right when we started. I estimate that as this month goes on, our income won't be small at all".

    Luo Feng, Chen Gu, and the others all started laughing one by one.

    Luo Feng looked at his tactical communications watch and was startled: "a phone call?"


    Even if someone calls, this tactical communications watch won't distract the fighter. The fighter has to look at the watch himself to find out if someone called him.

    "It's from home" laughed Luo Feng, and he gave a voice command, "Call back!"

    "Beep, beep, beep, beep....."

    The tactical communications watch called Luo Feng's home.

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 7: Tiger Fang Squad

    Volume 3 Chapter 7: Tiger Fang Squad

    "Yo, bro"
    Luo Feng couldn't help but to laugh after hearing the sound that came from the tactical communications watch: "Luo Hua, weren't you heating things up with that young lady? How come you have the time to call me!"

    "Haha....."

    On the balcony, Chen Gu, Zhang Ke, and the others came one by one and started laughing.

    "Even if I have a wife I can't forget my older brother" laughed the younger brother in the tactical communications watch, "Oh yea, bro. I called to tell you something. Nan officially agreed to be my girlfriend, haha..... isn't your brother great"

    The younger brother laughed joyfully.

    How long has it been? He hasn't been this happy before.

    "The power of love is indeed great". Luo Feng thought to himself, "He's been crippled for so long, so he has a lot of psychological pressure to deal with. For him to be so happy after getting a girlfriend......" Luo Feng was happy for his brother, and immediately laughed: "You still gotta work hard and get that certificate!"

    "Bro, we can't rush this. We gotta go step by step" laughed Luo Hua.

    "Oh yea, what about mom and dad?" asked Luo Feng.

    "They went grocery shopping" answered Luo Hua.

    Luo Feng nodded.....

    Mom can finally go grocery shopping in the afternoon, and Dad can finally relax and spend time with Mom in the market.

    "I'm fine bro. Be careful while you're out of the city" said Luo Hua out of concern.

    "No worries!"

    After the call ended, Luo Feng had a smile all over his face.

    "Alright, since Luo Feng is done with his phone call, everyone come here for a sec" said Gao Feng. In a moment, Luo Feng and the others walked over, "today, we just entered the city and produced great results! As always, we'll divide the spoils based on everyone's contribution in the battle!"

    "After we finish hunting and return to base to resupply, we'll do the dividing". Suddenly, Gao Feng's expression became very serious, "However, let me give a reminder, that everybody must be extremely cautious! This is an area with a high amount of buildings, where all the monsters' nests are. There will be a huge amount of commander level monsters in the entire city. So don't let your guards down, or else it'll be troublesome if any of you get into a dangerous situation. Many fighters died last year".

    "Yes"

    Chen Gu, Zhang Ke, the Wei Jia brothers, and Luo Feng all nodded seriously.

    Luo Feng also knew.....

    That joining the army was the safest. The mortality rate of a fighter like him barging into the wilderness was extremely high!

    "Everybody used up quite a bit of energy in the slaughter just now. We were also rushing through the night, so everybody rest now. After 4 PM, we'll move out!" decided Gao Feng.

    "Yes"

    "Phew, time to rest"

    The six members of the fire hammer squad either leaned against something or laid down to rest.

      ※※

    While the fire hammer squad was well-hidden and resting on the rooftop of the hotel, the tiger fang squad already entered the #0201 country level city. The six of them were carefully moving throughout the alleys of the ruined city. Some of the alleys' walls were collapsed, and some even had corpses of monsters in them.

    "Halt!" the skinny captain rose his hand and everyone else stopped.

    The captain of the tiger fang squad said in a small voice: "Everyone listen up, we only have one target this time——the already injured silver moon wolf! So while we're here in the city, make sure you don't mess with any of the other monsters! If you can hide, hide. If you can run, run. Try not to fight them, and it'll be troublesome if you get injured!"



    The other five members nodded seriously.

    This is a "high level commander level" silver moon wolf. The amount of money you could make is even greater than hunting dozens of low level commander level monsters.

    "Also..... once we catch up to the silver moon wolf! This silver moon wolf is extremely wounded, so we only need to hit it two or three more times to kill it. So never try to fight it head on. Let me remind you guys again, do not, DO NOT try to fight it head on and drag it out! If we really start fighting this silver moon wolf with everything, at least one or two of us will lose our lives!"

    Everyone nodded their heads with serious expressions on their faces.

    A high level commander level monster, and the king of the wolves: 'silver moon wolf'. Even when injured, if it stakes its life for revenge, it's possible that most of the tiger fang squad will get killed.

    "We just have to keep injuring it and let it bleed; torture it to death!" laughed the captain of the tiger fang squad with confidence, "A country level area like this has a very low chance of attracting a wargod fighter squad. There are probably just a few teams in this city, and with a team like ours, we should be the strongest ones in the city. So we don't need to worry about someone stealing it away!"

    Usually, stronger warlord level fighter teams are more active in the urban level areas. There's more of a challenge, and there are more independent commander level monsters!

    For example, there's a reason why the fire hammer squad came to this country level area. And that's because——Luo Feng is a rookie!

    Otherwise, the fire hammer squad would also enter an urban level area, and not a country level area.

    "Captain, if there actually is a fighter squad that actually tries to steal....." said the one eyed middle aged man as he wrinkled his eyebrows.

    "Relax"

    Zhang Ze Hu laughed on the side, "Even we don't dare to stick too close to that hunter! And most of the fighter squads in this city are warrior level! One warlord level fighter squad would already be pretty good. And if they try to fight the silver moon wolf? They'll probably get torn to pieces immediately by the silver moon wolf".

    "Yup"

    The captain of the tiger fang squad nodded, "They don't have the ability to steal the silver moon wolf away. If they do..... kill them!"

    "Yes!"

    The other five nodded.

    "Let's go" the captain of the tiger fang squad waved his hand and the six of them swiftly moved forward silently.

    The wilderness isn't like a headquarter!

    Headquarters are cities controlled by humans, where there's law! Where there's a government!

    But in the wilderness, monsters rule the area. Here, dark, chaotic, and bloody cases are everywhere. For a prized corpse of a monster, there are many cases where fighter squads have killed each other over it! Of course, most of the time it's a stronger fighter squad stealing from a weaker fighter squad.

    Many fighters in the wilderness die to monsters. However, quite a few fighters die to other fighters too.


      ※※※

    Midnight. The six members of the fire hammer squad ate a lot and were well rested, and all of them looked through their binoculars and had them pointing downwards.

    "We already saw two commander level monsters in two hours" said Wei Tie helplessly, "Sadly, each of them have a gigantic amount of soldier level monsters surrounding them! Looks like the urban areas are still better. Even though there are many commander level monsters, and sometimes even a 'horde leader level' monster there... Most of the regular soldier level monsters are all focused around the horde leader level monsters and the powerful commander level monsters. Many of the commander level monsters are independent".

    Before, Chen Gu had fired two shots from his sniper rifle!

    However, they didn't get so lucky this time.

    These two shots were fired at the two commander level monsters. One of them barely had any effect at all, and while the other one was heavily wounded, it didn't die! Most importantly, they have tons of soldier level monsters protecting them.

    "That's the bad point of a country level city. Even a regular commander level monster has a huge amount of monsters under its control" sighed Zhang Ke.

    "However, country level cities are safe"

    Gao Feng laughed, "Out of the entire country level city, there are only one or two high level commander level monsters. And all of them are surrounded by a gigantic amount of normal monsters, so we wouldn't even touch them. As for the regular monster hordes, with our squad's strength, we can wipe them out if we really wanted to! We aren't afraid of suddenly getting surrounded by a few commander level monsters".

    In the cities, there are many commander level monsters, so it's easy to get surrounded by several of them.

    "Hm?"

    Luo Feng looked through his binoculars, "This, this is a commander level monster?"

    Around ten monsters appeared on the edge of the street, and all of them had spots. They gave off the feeling of a tiger, the 'ocelot race' of the cat type monsters. All of these ocelots had large bodies, and one of them even had two tails!

    "Two tails? Commander level?" said Luo Feng excitedly.

    In the ocelot race, two tails means a low level commander, three tails means a medium level commander..... five tails, low level horde leader..... seven tails, high level horde leader...... eight tails, already surpassing the horde leader level, and is one of the strongest existences in the ocelot race.

    And out of all the cat type animals, nine tails..... is the Nine Lives Demon Cat (Nine Lives Cat King), which is one of the most horrifying monsters on earth.

    "Captain, look, a commander level ocelot" yelled Luo Feng.

    "Ocelot?"

    In a moment, the other five rushed over and looked for it with their binoculars.

    "It's really an ocelot! Looks like the fact that ocelots don't like large groups isn't just a rumor. There are only 16 regular soldier level monsters surrounding the commander level ocelot" laughed Gao Feng, "Guys, get ready for action".

    "Only 16 regular monsters, I can handle them alone" laughed Chen Gu, so all the other members were relaxed.

    "Let's go!"

    Under Gao Feng's command, Luo Feng and the others left the rooftop one by one. This time, they didn't fire in advance..... for if they fail to kill the ocelot, it might run away! For a commander level monster to only have around a dozen monsters with it is very rare in a small country level city.
    PENGUIN!

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 8: Do It

    Volume 3 Chapter 8: Do It

    Luo Feng followed the five veteran members of the fire hammer squad as they quietly went over the wall and into a residential home on the side of the street. The walls of this residential home were mostly collapsed, the corners of the walls that were left had moss growing all over them, and the concrete walkway has been covered with weeds ages ago.
    "The fat sheep is ahead". Wei Tie went through a gap in the collapsed wall and looked around on the street outside, "We're pretty lucky. This ocelot is searching for prey with its underlings in a relaxed manner".

    Luo Feng also looked outside through the gap in the collapsed wall.

    Around 50 meters away, the commander level ocelot was leading its group of ocelots on the street.

    "Remember guys"

    Gao Feng said in a small voice, "First, your mission is to kill those regular ocelots. As for the commander level ocelot, just stay away from it and try not to get hit. Just leave it to me. If it's one low level commander level ocelot, I can handle it alone. Next, Chen Gu, don't fire your machine gun. It's not too late to fire until after something unexpected happens..... once you start firing, we'll have to flee the battlefield".

    "Understood"

    Luo Feng and the others nodded seriously.

    Gunshots attract monsters easily. If you're on the rooftop of a high building, then the monsters can't pinpoint your position with just their ears. However, shooting on the ground exposes your position easily. Soon after, large amounts of monsters will be attracted and will surround and attack. As time goes on, more and more monsters will keep getting attracted.

    Last time, when they were trying to retrieve the corpse of the 'bloodthirsty tank', everyone started running for their lives once Chen Gu started firing.

    "Alright, this time we're gonna make this quick! Let's go!" Gao Feng waved his hand.

    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

    Six shadows flew out at practically the same time, and even Chen Gu had a machine gun in his left hand and a short dagger in his right.

    Six people, as if six blurred images, all charged at the group of ocelots.

    "ROAR~~" the hairs of the two tailed ocelot, head of the ocelot group, all stood up and it immediately roared out of anger. The 16 surrounding ocelots also started to give out an enraged roar one by one. These roars kept echoing between the two sides of the streets and the sound shook the sky. Each of the strong, burly ocelots crazily charged at the humans in front of their eyes.

    "Kill!"

    "Scum, die!"

    Luo Feng watched the ocelot fly towards him like lightning, and stepped a meter away to the side. The ghost blade in his hand used this position to draw a cold light that went straight for the throat of the ocelot! The charging ocelot growled in a low voice and lowered its head to use its chin to block Luo Feng's attack!

    "CHI!"

    The ghost blade cut the fur of the ocelot's chin and even cut half a cm into the jawbone.

    "This ocelot reacts quickly, much faster than the lion mastiff monsters" when Luo Feng landed, a blood scented wind came as another ocelot's mouth was already wide open and ready to bite Luo Feng. Luo Feng first stepped back for some more space and then directly used his shield to block and his blade to stab!

    The ghost blade delicately slid across the shield and stabbed through the charging ocelot's chin in an instant.

    Luo Feng ferociously pulled his blade out and stepped back.

    "Pu~~~" fresh blood sprayed wildly, and the large ocelot fell to the ground. It swayed three times and then fell down to the cracked concrete floor with a howl.

    "Watch out!"

    A huge voice suddenly shouted!

    [KUANG]

    The nearby brothers Wei Tie and Wei Qing were suddenly hit and thrown into the air. Wei Tie's entire body smashed against one of the walls on the street and, with a boom, the poorly maintained wall instantly shattered. Wei Tie fell down and spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

    "ROAR~~" the twin tailed cat that instantly smashed into the brothers Wei Tie and Wei Qing was in front of LUo Feng at almost the same time.

    "Too fast!" Luo Feng was startled and instantly side stepped.

    "Just barely!"

    Clearly, his dodging speed wasn't fast enough, and as he saw the claws of the twin tailed ocelot about to latch onto himself, he used his shapeless spiritual force to move himself away. The speed of his sidestepped increased by a significant amount and the twin tailed ocelot's claws just barely touched him.

    "CHI!"

    Luo Feng also used this chance to unleash an uppercut! The blade slashed against one of the twin tailed ocelot's forelimbs, but the sharp blade actually made a "CHI" sound as it slashed against the fur. It couldn't even break through a single layer of fur on the twin tailed ocelot's front claw.

    "The speed and defense of a commander level monster is just too horrifying" said Luo Feng out of shock.

    "PUCHI!" The twin tailed ocelot landed on the ground and its sharp claws caused the concrete floor to crack open.

    "SCUM!!!" Gao Feng, whose carelessness led to his comrades' injuries, rushed like lightning and ferociously rammed towards the twin tailed ocelot with a hideous look on his face. The two gigantic, heavy hammers spun like a windmill as they smashed into the twin tailed ocelot. The twin tailed ocelot, completely unaffected by Luo Feng's blade, turned towards Gao Feng like a huge truck and rushed towards him!

    "PENG" "PENG"

    The hammers and the claws clashed.

    Both Gao Feng and the twin tailed ocelot staggered, but Gao Feng used his left foot to charge at the twin tailed ocelot again. Gao Feng gave the twin tailed ocelot no chance to attack his comrades again! And the bones in one of the twin tailed ocelot's limb were fractured by the heavy hammer, so it could only rely on three of its legs to stand.

    In their struggle, it seems that Gao Feng has the advantage!

    RUMBLE~~ The heavy hammers kept smashing!

      ……

    On the rooftop of a six story residential building around five hundred meters away from this scene, the six members of the tiger fang squad were using their binoculars to look around.

    "Captain, it seems that there are quite a bit of monsters around, so it'll be difficult to not agitate any monsters within a ten mile radius of the location of 'the hunter'" said the one eyed middle aged man as he frowned. The skinny captain of the tiger fang squad also frowned. Suddenly, his gaze landed upon the fire hammer squad that was battling the ocelot monsters far away.

    "It's the fire hammer squad" said the captain of the tiger fang squad as he raised his eyebrows, "They came to this country level city too?"

    "The fire hammer squad probably did this because they brought that rookie Luo Feng" said the one eyed middle aged man, "The guy with the twin hammers is clearly Gao Feng. Gao Feng sure is powerful, he's going at it with a low level commander level monster. I heard that his strength is already at the level of an intermediate warlord, but it's just that his speed is a bit lacking. Seems like they weren't just rumors".

    Carrying a gigantic machete on his back, Zhang Ze Hu's eyes flashed. He grabbed his binoculars and looked towards that direction and said joyfully, "It actually is the fire hammer squad, and that Luo Feng kid is actually here. Seems like he's performing well!". A savage light passed through Zhang Ze Hu's eyes.

    "Captain, it's this tiny rabbit that made me lose a whole one hundred million!" said Zhang Ze Hu, "Let's use this chance to kill him". One hundred million was a large sum of money to Zhang Ze Hu. Since he's only at the advanced warrior level, he has to risk his life for two years to earn one hundred million.

    "Kill him?"

    The other members of the squad were slightly surprised.

    The captain of the tiger fang squad frowned, and then laughed: "Good idea! Xiao, Dong, you two use your snipers to deal with the most important members of the fire hammer squad, and then immediately fire at the two monster hordes near them! We're far away, so the monsters won't be able to tell where the sudden shot came from".

    "These normal monsters have very low intelligence: once they get hit, they'll only attack the humans they can see!"

    The captain of the tiger fang squad laughed coldly, "At that time, the two monster hordes will be attracted to the fire hammer squad and will surround them! The gigantic slaughter will attract large amounts of monsters over there, which will lower the amount of monsters in the other areas. When that happens, we can easily go through miles of land!".


    The other members of the tiger fang squad were silent.

    It's not like they haven't killed other fighters before. But they usually only did that to steal monsters' corpses, but to just do it in this case.....
    .....

    "Dong, aim on that Luo Feng and kill him in one shot to relieve my brother" said Zhang Ze Hu as he clenched his teeth.

    "Do it!" ordered the captain of the tiger fang squad.

    "Yes, captain".

    The two heated weapon using members didn't delay. On the border of life and death, they had too much experience killing monsters and humans.

    "Hmph hmph, Luo Feng" Zhang Ze Hu stood on the edge of the rooftop as he watched the fire hammer squad that already succeeded in killing the twin tailed ocelot. He let out a cold smile as he said, "You dare mess with my money, I'll take your life! Go regret it in hell!".

    And the two sniper rifles were already set up.

    The two heated weapon using members were in front of their sniper rifles, and they chose to use a special, powerful armor piercing round. They started to aim and adjust for elevation, etc. and then they nodded to their captain, showing they're ready.

    "HU!" the captain of the tiger fang squad waved his hand.

    The two members pressed the triggers simultaneously!

    "PENG!"

    "PENG!"

    The two low sounds rang and the two bullets instantly split through the space and headed towards the fire hammer squad that was currently getting the material from the twin tailed ocelot's corpse. The sound rang, but the bullets moved at a couple times faster than the speed of sound, so the bullets arrived before the fire hammer squad could even hear anything!
    PENGUIN!

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 9: Deadly Situation

    Volume 3 Chapter 9: Deadly Situation

    "The tendon of a ocelot monster's tail is worth quite a bit". With a "CHI" sound of Luo Feng's ghost blade, it drew across the tail and took out the transparent tendon. Luo Feng looked at Wei Tie beside him and laughed, "Brother Tie sure is strong. With that collision with the twin tailed ocelot just now, brother Tie was spitting out blood. It scared me, but it seems like brother Tie is perfectly fine now!"
    "Are you stupid? Should I just force the blood back down instead of spitting it out? The damage will be even worse that way!" said Wei Tie jokingly as he laughed.

    "Alright, let's get these one by one" laughed Chen Gu.

    The six members of the fire hammer squad were in quite a good mood. Gao Feng squatted next to the twin tailed ocelot while dissecting it. Of course, the twin tailed ocelot's corpse was the hardest to dissect.

    "Luo Feng brought luck to our squad. It's our first day and we killed two commander level monsters in a row" laughed Gao Feng as he dissected.

    "Haha, captain, you gotta praise me for that. It was me who tried to get Luo Feng in our squad" laughed Chen Gu.

    The group laughed merrily.

    "Hm?"

    As if Luo Feng's tail was on fire, his eyes instantly widened. It was as if the conditions were exactly the same as his reaction speed examination where he dodged the rubber bullets:——the air was hazy in front of him and a bullet could be seen!

    The speed of the bullet was at least 10 times faster than the rubber bullets used in the reaction speed examination! Luo Feng didn't even have time to yell out a warning.

    Under immense stress, Luo Feng's body instantly started pumping out adrenaline, and his heart started beating at an alarming rate. All the hairs on his body stood up and his mind was pushed to a limit never seen before! Even the spiritual force that was sleeping deep within him spread out across his entire body automatically!

    A life or death situation!

    Human's innate survival instinct caused Luo Feng's body and spiritual force to instantly reach their limit!

    "PU!"

    The armor piercing bullet tore through the air and shot towards Luo Feng's brain.

    Luo Feng used the ghost blade that was dissecting the ocelot's tail to block the bullet. He pushed his body to its limit and used all of his power to swing his blade around. While his waist exerted its first force, it actually had time to exert a second force!

    Everything fell into place! Facing death, his body was able to naturally exert the second force while his concentration and body were at their limits.

    Nine Stage Thunder Blade——First Stage!

    It actually worked!

    The speed of the ghost blade instantly flew up!

    "Accelerate!" Luo Feng used his spiritual force on his ghost blade to make it move even faster!

    "Decelerate!"

    Without delay, the spiritual force was used on the armor piercing bullet that was flying towards him at an extreme speed. The armor piercing bullet was reduced to mach 1 from mach 4! And with a "CLANG!", Luo Feng's ghost blade directly hit the armor piercing bullet.

    The tip of the armor piercing bullet pushed into the blade and then bounced off.

    "PENG!"

    The other armor piercing bullet was aimed at captain 'Gao Feng's' brain. According to the tiger fang squad's plan, Zhang Ze Hu requested to kill Luo Feng, while the other bullet was prepared for the strongest member of the fire hammer squad, Gao Feng. So these two bullets were prepared for Luo Feng and Gao Feng!

    And Gao Feng, who was currently dissecting the twin tailed ocelot and had his back turned towards the bullet, didn't see the armor piercing bullet at all.

    "PU!" the dagger in Gao Feng's hand ferociously cut through the fur of the twin tailed ocelot. This force made his body sway, and the bullet that was aimed for his brain got off target. Right when he was about to feel the toughness of the ocelot's fur——

    HU!

    The super fast armor piercing bullet just barely grazed Gao Feng's ear as it flew by. The rapid airflow caused Gao Feng's ear to start bleeding.

    "PENG!"

    The armor piercing bullet cruelly landed in Zhang Ke's shoulder, who was beside Gao Feng. And the shot that is able to burst open a low level commander level monster's scales instantly shattered the bones and muscles in Zhang Ke's shoulder. With a BOOM, Zhang Ke's right shoulder directly flew up, and, "PU-CHI", the blood started spraying out like a fountain.

    "AHH!" Zhang Ke cried out bitterly.

    "A sniper rifle bullet!"

    Gao Feng looked at Zhang Ke's broken shoulder spraying out fresh blood. Some of the blood even sprayed onto Gao Feng, which caused Gao Feng's eyes to turn red. He howled: "Enemy attack!".

    "Which bastard!" Wei Tie and Wei Qing also yelled angrily.

    While they yelled out of rage, virtually all the members of the fire hammer squad started moving around quickly. There's no one who would dare to stand in the same location while being aimed at by a sniper. Gao Feng was only able to dodge the bullet because, by chance, his dagger made his body sway.

    "PENG!" "PENG!" "PENG!" "PENG!"

    Four more gunshots!

    "That way!" Gao Feng, Luo Feng, and the others all looked towards the gunshots' source with red eyes.

    On the rooftop far away, the shadows swayed and disappeared.

    "It's the tiger fang squad!" Gao Feng clenched his teeth, "TIGER FANG!!!".

    Luo Feng wasn't able to see them at all..... the distance was too great and the tiger fang squad vanished instantly. Clearly, your eyesight would need to be amazing to see them clearly! A fighter's sight and hearing improves along with their body fitness level. Within the six members of the fire hammer squad, captain Gao Feng's body fitness level neared 'intermediate level warlord'.

    So only he was able to see them clearly.

    "The tiger fang squad? The tiger fang squad that Zhang Ze Hu is in?" Luo Feng couldn't help but to feel his rage come up. Of course, he checked before and discovered the news about Zhang Ze Hu being in the tiger fang squad, "he actually wants to kill me?".

    Ice cold!

    Luo Feng truly felt for himself that fighters don't live in harmony with each other!

    "Zhang Ke!"

    "Old Zhang!"

    A couple of them went over, and Luo Feng rushed towards Zhang Ke's side too. Zhang Ke laid on the ground with a pale face. His right shoulder was completely shattered by the armor piercing bullet, and his right arm was blown off a while ago. Even his battle uniform was ripped up. The power of this bullet was just too great. Zhang ke's face was completely pale while Chen Gu hurriedly tried to stop the blood.

    "It's me, Zhang Ke, you took this shot for me!" said Gao Feng as he clutched his ear.

    "Brother Zhang" Luo Feng's fists were both clenched and his eyes were crimson red.

    It was brother Zhang and brother Chen that brought him into the fire hammer squad.

    "Not good!" Gao Feng's face changed completely, "Run now!"

    The tiger fang squad shot out a total of six bullets just now. Two of them were for Luo Feng and Gao Feng, while the other four were for the surrounding monsters. At this moment, the monsters were already starting to angrily howl, and everyone in the fire hammer squad immediately understood why the tiger fang squad shot those extra four bullets.

    "So sinister"

    "They want to kill all of us"

    "Hurry and run"

    Wei Qing put Zhang Ke, who lost too much blood, on his back, and the group started sprinting.

    "RUMBLE~~" a large amount of iron fur boars appeared on the street ahead. Each of the iron fur boars were gigantic, and a couple hundred of them were rushing towards the fire hammer squad. It seemed like an earthquake was going on when the boars were rushing together. All the faces of the members of the fire hammer squad lost their color, and right when they tried to change direction, another gigantic rumbling sound came from the other side.

    An even more alarming amount of monsters were rushing towards them. Not only were there horned boars in this horde, but also lion mastiff monsters. All of the monsters added up exceeded 1000.

    "Big trouble"

    All the members of the fire hammer squad were pale!

    "Get over the wall!" commanded Gao Feng.

    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

    The fire hammer squad speedily rushed over the broken wall. The four sniper rifle bullets enraged the monsters greatly. The monsters only knew..... that only humans could have such a horrifyingly sinister assassination weapon! When they saw the humans rush over the wall, all of them were practically united——

    "RUMBLE~~" the horned boars lowered their heads and rammed into the wall. The wall that has been exposed to decades of wind and sun shattered instantly and over a thousand tightly packed monsters rushed over it.

    The fire hammer squad looked back and couldn't help but to have their faces change again.

    "Brothers, this time it's everyone for themselves. Run, if one can survive, then at least that's one. If we stay together, all of us will die for sure!" yelled Gao Feng, whose eyes were still red, as they ran, "this son of a ***** tiger fang squad, if I, Gao Feng, live through this, I'll definitely make them pay for this with their blood!!!"

    "Everyone, spread out and escape!" Wei Tie and Wei Qing were also clenching their teeth.

    Against over a thousand monsters, even an advanced warrior would have trouble escaping.

    "The tiger fang squad, Zhang Ze Hu!" Luo Feng felt in his heart that they probably did this because he made Zhang Ze Hu lose one hundred million that time, "The tiger fang squad wouldn't just attack for no reason would they? Could it be because of me..... because of me, brother Zhang ended up like that?"

    Guilt rushed out of Luo feng's heart, but also his intent to kill!!!

    "Zhang Ze Hu! Tiger fang squad!" both of Luo Feng's eyes were crimson red.

    "Captain, brother Chen" yelled Luo Feng.

    This yell caused captain Gao Feng, the Wei Jia brothers, and Chen Gu to look at Luo Feng in shock. Luo Feng clenched his teeth as he yelled, "Follow me! Everyone can escape alive!!!". With a "HU" sound, all of the throwing knives on Luo Feng's thigh started hovering up and encircled Luo Feng one by one.
    PENGUIN!

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 10: Bleeding Throwing Knife

    Volume 3 Chapter 10: Bleeding Throwing Knife

    Originally, they were basically guaranteed to die. Splitting up and running away was their last string of hope. However, Gao Feng, the Wei Jia brothers, Chen Gu, and Zhang Ke now watched the six throwing knives hovering around Luo Feng's body. Each and every one of them were dumbfounded. Chen Gu even abruptly blinked twice to make sure he was seeing this right..... these throwing knives were indeed floating without being attached to anything!
    "Spirit reader!"

    "Telekinesis!"

    "Luo Feng is a spirit reader?"

    All of these thoughts appeared in the minds of Gao Feng and the others. All of them became flustered with their faces completely red. Gao Feng then shouted out: "Listen to Luo Feng, follow him!"

    "RUMBLE~~~" the enraged horde of monsters came sprinting at them, causing the ruined concrete ground to split open. The rumbling caused the ruined buildings on the side to crumble. There's an old saying: Ten thousand horses galloping*. However, each and every one of these monsters are hundreds of times stronger and larger than a war horse. A thousand of them running is even scarier than ten thousand horses running.

    *TL note: original phrase: 萬馬奔騰

    "To the left!" yelled Luo Feng.

    The other members of the fire hammer squad immediately followed Luo Feng, ferociously turning to the left. Wei Qing was still carrying Zhang Ke who had lost too much blood.

    "ROAR~""HOWL~"......

    The stench of the monsters slowly emanated. Since they ran towards the left instead of running away, Luo Feng and his group ran into the monsters chasing them. Their stench was virtually stuck in their noses. At this time, Luo Feng clenched his teeth, and with a cold gaze, the six throwing knives encircling him in a 10 meter radius instantly moved!

    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

    The six throwing knives instantly caused a mirage. "PUCHI!" A throwing knife directly went through the head of one of the lion mastiff monsters that was running at them. Some of its cerebrospinal fluid came out with the throwing knife. The throwing knives, under the control of spiritual force, continued to go through more and more monsters' skulls with amazing speed!

    Six throwing knives! In a blink of an eye, the 30 or so nearest monsters were killed!

    Fresh blood and cerebrospinal juice flew out.

    "HOWL~~"

    "RUMBLE~~" under the howling of the monsters, the 30 or so monsters that were chasing after the fire hammer squad all fell while they were sprinting. When they fell, they ended up sliding around ten meters against the ground. Behind the fire hammer squad that was running away were large amounts of monsters' corpses.

    Gao Feng, Chen Gu, the Wei Jia brothers, and even the pale Zhang Ke were all stunned.

    They knew that spirit readers were strong, but..... this is just too absurd!

    The six throwing knives became flowing mirages one by one. The throwing knives go through the skull of any monster that enters a 20 meter radius within them. This precise control is also very frightening!

    "I'm using up my spiritual force too quickly like this". Luo Feng was also shocked. Every time a throwing knife goes through a monster's head, he uses up quite a bit of energy. The skulls of these monsters are much harder than regular stones. Now that he killed around 50 monsters in one breath, a large amount of spiritual force was used up.

    Chen Gu, who was behind Luo Feng, yelled out of disbelief: "DAMN, this spirit reader is too insane. Even if there's a thousand monsters, he could probably kill them all!"

    "Stop wasting your breath. In this kind of situation, more and more monsters get attracted as time goes on! Right now there's around a thousand, but soon there'll be five thousand monsters coming for us. After even more time, there could even be ten thousand monsters coming after us. There'll even be quite a bit of commander level monsters in there too! How do you think the spirit reader will kill those? You think that a spirit reader doesn't need to expend spiritual force to kill monsters?" laughed Gao Feng as he snapped.

    The fire hammer squad actually had the mood to chat while being chased by a horde of monsters.

    One could imagine..... that Gao Feng, Chen Gu, and the others weren't under much pressure anymore, since all the monsters that approached were killed by the dancing throwing knives.

    "Go over the wall" commanded Luo Feng.

    The sprinting fire hammer squad reached the wall in front, and each of them jumped over it one by one. Even though quite a bit of monsters died, the rest of the enraged monsters didn't fear death and kept charging. However, every monster that approached the territory of Luo Feng's throwing knives had their head pierced!

    Know that——

    Luo Feng's current body fitness level barely reaches the borders of an 'advanced warrior level'. Since spiritual force raises your level by two stages, then he currently barely reaches the 'intermediate warlord level' with his spiritual force. Spirit readers are the most terrifying existences within fighters: they can easily and completely destroy an existence of the same level!

    With his telekinesis, Luo Feng can stab monsters to death with his throwing knives from a far distance!

    However, for the knives to reach maximum power, the current Luo Feng can only use two throwing knives! As the number of throwing knives increase, the weaker each of them will be. Indeed, Luo Feng could technically use over a hundred throwing knives. However, not only will they be weak, but even their accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

    With six throwing knives, Luo Feng can guarantee that each of them can deal with a 'low level commander', and their accuracy can be guaranteed too.

    With two throwing knives, Luo Feng can guarantee that at their max power, they can deal with a 'medium level commander'.

    "RUMBLE~~" the fearless monsters smashed the wall.

    PUCHI! PUCHI!

    The monsters that got closer to the sprinting fire hammer squad were all killed. Their fresh blood and cerebrospinal fluid flew out and their corpses caused disorder in the horde behind them. The fire hammer squad was able to shake off quite a bit of monsters as they turned into the far away alley.


      ※※※

    By this time, the tiger fang squad has already ran far away. With the fire hammer squad attracting most of the monsters, there were barely any monsters in their surroundings. Thanks to that, they were able to move across a great distance without much trouble. As they entered a new area with many monsters, the tiger fang squad slowed down and, once again, started moving cautiously.

    "What happened just now, not even one of them died?" asked the tiger fang squad's captain as he frowned.

    "Captain, I fired at the captain of the fire hammer squad, Gao Feng. However, Gao Feng just so happened to be dissecting a corpse, and just so happened to use his dagger in a way that shook his body. With that, the bullet just barely missed him and injured another member of the fire hammer squad instead. That member's arm was instantly blasted off, but I'm not sure if he's alive or dead" said Xiao, who had a skinny figure.

    "That Gao Feng got lucky"

    Zhang Ze Hu frowned as he looked at the other person, "Dong Zi, I asked you to kill Luo Feng, how come he didn't die?"

    With the great distance and the speed of the bullet, only the person using the sniper rifle with their laser aimer device could clearly see what happened in that instant.

    "That Luo Feng....." the sniper named 'Dong Zi' hesitated, and then said, "he also got lucky. As I fired, he just so happened to be skinning a monster, and just so happened to swing his blade against my armor piercing bullet". Dong could only say this, because he didn't think Luo Feng's reaction speed was quick enough to cut through the armor piercing bullet.

    So the only explanation was luck!

    Since you would need an absurd control over your blade and amazing sight to be able to cut through an armor piercing bullet.

    "****, this Luo Feng also has some bullshit luck". Zhang Ze Hu couldn't help but to curse.

    "However, don't worry". laughed the sniper 'Dong Zi', "we fired four shots at the monster hordes before and the only humans they could find are the members of the 'fire hammer squad'. Over a thousand monsters have them surrounded. No matter how great the fire hammer squad is, they're doomed for sure!"

    "No!"

    The captain of the tiger fang squad shook his head, "Not absolutely. If the fire hammer squad split up and ran, one or two of them could survive!" as he said that, the tiger fang squad let out a smile, "Of course, one or two of them have absolutely no threat to our tiger fang squad".

    "Captain, maybe they could coincidentally meet a wargod level existence that could save them" laughed the one eyed middle aged man.

    "In this city, and in such a small amount of time, to meet a wargod..... and to even convince him to help them. The chance of this is even lower than winning the lottery" grinned the tiger fang squad's captain as he laughed, "Alright, let's go guys. That old thing is still moving, so we should get there as fast as possible".

    "Yes".

    The tiger fang squad moved forward.

      ※※※

    Luo Feng and the others rushed to the rooftop of a regular six story residential apartment.

    "KA!" the door to the staircase connected to the rooftop was directly sealed shut.

    "Quick, let old Zhang lie down" said Chen Gu.

    "Get the medicine" said Gao Feng hurriedly.

    With Zhang Ke's injury, he could die just by blood loss. Thankfully they stopped the blood earlier. However, such a large injury would need some basic treatment first..... since this #0201 country level city is a three day walk away from the military resupplying base.

    And rushing on the road for three days? With Zhang Ke's current condition, there's no way he'd be able to handle that.

    "Old Zhang, keep that in your mouth and replenish some energy" Chen Gu took out a pill and put it in Zhang Ke's mouth.

    "Wei Tie, seriously treat Zhang Ke's wound" commanded Gao Feng.

    As the fire hammer squad continued to treat Zhang Ke, the pale faced Zhang Ke was able to get the energy he needed in time. As treatment went on, the members of the fire hammer squad started to loosen up.

    "Phew" Luo Feng secretly let out a sigh of relief. As he looked at the pale brother Zhang, and especially at the spot of his nonexistent right arm and half of a shoulder, he felt immensely guilty, "Zhang Ke can't use a spear in the future anymore and his career as a fighter is over!". Luo Feng felt that there was an 80-90% chance that the tiger fang squad did this because of him.

    As he looked at brother Zhang, he felt extremely guilty.

    "Tiger fang squad! Zhang Ze Hu!" Luo Feng's heart was burning, "I, Luo Feng, swear that I'll take an eye for an eye and let you know the taste of being destroyed!!!".

    "Tiger fang squad, these pieces of trash, want to destroy our entire fire hammer squad huh" Chen Gu couldn't help but to curse.

    "****ing tiger fang squad, we must have our revenge!" Wei Tie also roared.

    "These bastards, I, Gao Feng, will make them regret it" said Gao Feng as he clenched both of his fists, and then looked at Luo Feng, "Thankfully, Luo Feng was with us this time so we were able to...... Oh yea, Luo Feng, how come you can move objects without touching them?".

    Suddenly, all the other members of the fire hammer squad, including the heavily wounded Zhang Ke that was lying on the floor, looked at Luo Feng.
    PENGUIN!

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 11: Rest

    Volume 3 Chapter 11: Rest

    Luo Feng knew that he revealed the secret of him being a spirit reader when he used his throwing knives to save everybody!
    "Everybody probably already guessed it and yet they still look at me with such a face on purpose. Alright, I'll admit it....." Luo Feng let out a helpless smile, "I'm a spirit reader!"

    "Haha" laughed Chen Gu loudly, "Luo Feng, I knew I didn't misjudge you"

    Wei Qing and Wei Tie also let out smiles.

    "A spirit reader... a spirit reader has also appeared in our fire hammer squad" laughed Gao Feng as he nodded, "I know that if the tiger fang squad knew that Luo Feng was this powerful, they wouldn't have pulled this sly trick. If they knew...... that they made an enemy out of a spirit reader, they'd certainly regret it!"

    "They would regret it for life" chuckled Wei Tie.

    Zhang Ke, who was lying off to the side, couldn't help but to say: "The most powerful members of the trashes in the tiger fang squad are just those two intermediate level warlords! With Luo Feng's current fitness level, he barely reaches the 'advanced warrior level’. According to the rules, a spirit reader is two levels above his fitness level, so he should be stepping into the 'intermediate warlord level'. However..... an intermediate warlord level spirit reader would decimate an existence of the same level, so they can fight a fighter a level above them!"

    All fighters understood the terror of a spirit reader!

    On the same level, they would certainly destroy any other fighter!

    No matter how good your blade technique, shielding technique, or body techniques are, a spirit reader could attack with their controlled throwing knives from far away. The throwing knives can even instantly change direction and fly faster than the speed of sound. How can a fighter of the same level compete at all?

    "Just Luo Feng alone can destroy the entire tiger fang squad!" grinned Chen Gu as he laughed, "Messing with the fire hammer squad is the most foolish thing the tiger fang squad has ever done!".

    "This time, we really got lucky" sighed Gao Feng.

    Gao Feng's fitness level barely reaches the 'intermediate warlord level', but in front of a horde of monsters, he was helpless. This is the difference between a regular fighter and a spirit reader!

    "Brother Zhang"

    Luo Feng squatted in front of Zhang Ke and said in a small voice as he looked at Zhang Ke's pale face, "The tiger fang squad might've done this because of what I did to Zhang Ze Hu...... brother Zhang's arm..... I'm sorry!"

    At this time, the fire hammer squad settled down and all of them were watching Luo Feng and Zhang Ke.

    "Luo Feng" Zhang Ke let out a smile, "Don't always blame everything on yourself. This time, it's an indisputable fact that you saved our entire squad. As for me....." Zhang Ke lowered his head and looked at the wound in his right shoulder. His right arm had been long lost in the horde of monsters from before.

    "My life as a free fighter is practically over" sighed Zhang Ke.

    Gao Feng, Chen Gu, the Wei Jia brothers, and Luo Feng were all silent.

    "However." Zhang Ke let out a smile, "This is actually the best situation that I've predicted. I still remember when I was a kid during the Grand Nirvana period. During the Grand Nirvana Period, I witnessed for myself the large amounts of humans killed by monsters. At that time, I promised..... when I grow up, I'll kill these monsters with my own hand and become a hero!"

    "I've always been working hard".

    "And finally, I became a fighter, a free fighter! I entered the wilderness and fulfilled my childhood dream as I killed many monsters. I finally became a hero in the people's eyes. My wife praised me and finally married me. My daughter also always had a powerful fighter as a father to be proud of".

    "As time passed and as I killed more and more monsters..... I slowly started to get tired of it. Every time I entered the wilderness, my wife and kids were always worrying about the possibility of my death. I also worry that I won't be able to see them anymore. However, I didn't have the courage to pull out" said Zhang Ke slowly, "It's been like that for these past ten years or so, and I've gotten used to it".

    At this time, Luo Feng's heart wasn't comfortable either.

    Family?

    He also had a brother and parents, who all worried about him.

    "This wound finally gave me a reason to pull out" smiled Zhang Ke slightly, "I've gotten tired of this these past ten years or so. In the future, I can use my battle records to become an instructor of a region's Dojo of Limits. With more time on my hands, I can be with my wife and kids more! And on my back, I have you guys. To be able to have a spirit reader as a brother before quitting, haha, I guess it's worth it".

    Luo Feng squeezed out a tiny smile.

    "Brother, enjoy the relaxing, quiet life" encouraged Gao Feng, "In the future, find me for any problems you have! We've been together for seven, eight years, so we're brothers to the death!".

    "Hm" smiled Zhang Ke as he nodded, "I won't hold back at all. If I encounter any difficulties, I'll be sure to find you guys. Especially Luo Feng. I know that spirit readers will go through a period of insane growth, so your strength will soon skyrocket. In the future, you'll become amazing. You better not decline my requests for help!"

    Asking me to help?

    It was partially thanks to brother Zhang that I was able to enter the fire hammer squad. And what happened to brother Zhang was probably because of me, so how can I not help?

    "Brother Zhang, your problems are my problems!" said Luo Feng.

    Zhang Ke nodded, and asked out of curiosity: "Oh yea, Luo Feng. How come you hid the fact that you're a spirit reader?"

    "Mainly because I didn't want to deal with too much trouble" laughed Luo Feng as he shook his head, "If the fact that I'm a spirit reader gets out, I probably won't be able to live a quiet life". He read that he should keep his spiritual force a secret on the boards in the 'Limit Home' after becoming a fighter.

    Because once he reveals it, he'll become a target for focused training in the Dojo of Limits. First, he'll be sent to the world headquarters of the Dojo of Limits, and then he'll undergo great training, and then there'll be all sorts of great conditions......

    But he'll be unable to continue his current quiet life. Even though he ventures into the wilderness now, at least he can stay with his parents sometimes.

    "Hm"

    Gao Feng nodded, "Luo Feng's thinking isn't bad. Whether it's the army, individual dojos, or rich families, they'll all be going crazy over trying to obtain spirit readers. Once a new spirit reader appears, each of the powers will fight over him! The army will use all sorts of tricks, so dojos send their spirit readers outside of the country's borders until they come to an agreement with the army. Only after that will they let the spirit reader come back".

    A spirit reader, is a trump card!

    Each spirit reader has a large impact, so all of the powers fight over them. Even though they get special rights, they'll lose the regular life of a fighter.

    'Captain, I hope everyone will help me keep this a secret" said Luo Feng.

    "Yea, of course. Our fighter squad will be glad to keep this secret for you" laughed Gao Feng loudly.

    Chen Gu also nodded excitedly on the side: "Yup, our fire hammer squad has a 'spirit reader', and other fighter squads don't know that, hmph hmph...... We won't appear as strong to them, so they won't be cautious. So if someone messes with us, they'll be in huge trouble. And it'll be way easier to hunt monsters in the future!"

    A trump card, is only a trump card if you hide it!

    Once you reveal it, it won't have the same effect anymore.

    Wei Tie couldn't help but to say, "Yea, and when the captain is fighting with a monster head on, Luo Feng can use his throwing knives for a sneak attack. One hit one kill".

    Wei Qing followed up on the side: "Yea, Luo Feng can use his blade to attack, causing the monsters to think he mainly attacks with his blade. After that, Luo Feng can secretly use his throwing knives and surprise them! Surely the monster wouldn't even have time to cry!". A spirit reader in a squad can instantly raise the entire squad's strength by a factor of 10!

    The members of the fire hammer squad were all excitedly discussing about Luo Feng's potential in the squad.

    Clearly, a spirit reader greatly benefits the fire hammer squad.

    After a while, the members of the fire hammer squad all began to rest. The sky also slowly became dark and filled with stars.

    Under the starry sky, Luo Feng quietly sat on the edge of the rooftop, thinking about the battle they had: "Today, I can't believe I managed to pull off the first stage of the《Nine Stage Thunder Blade》 on the armor piercing bullet”. When he thought of this, Luo Feng couldn't help but to stand up and take out his ghost blade.

    "HU!"

    With one step, the core of the body, 'the waist', practically has to instantly explode with force. But at the same time, the waist has to naturally send out another wave of force when the power from the muscles reaches the wrist. These two forces connect and reach the wrist together.

    "PUCHI!"

    The ghost blade drew a cold light across the vast sky.

    "Indeed, I can exert another force. With these two forces combined, 70 + 70, which is 140% of the strength" Luo Feng also felt it. His body can't release anymore force after the first stage.

    However, this was already pretty good.

    It's pretty hard to learn the 《Nine Stage Thunder Blade》, but he was able to naturally enter the first stage on the border of life and death. It seems that there's still hope to keep climbing up in the future.

    Suddenly-

    "AO WU~~"

    An enraged sound of a howling wolf carried from somewhere below. The members of the fire hammer squad, that were resting under the starry sky, all woke up from shock.

    "It's the howl of a wolf!" said Gao Feng seriously.

    "I can't believe there're wolf type monsters" Chen Gu took a deep breath. Every single wolf type monster was powerful.

    Wolf type?

    Luo Feng was also shocked. There were very few wolf type monsters before the Grand Nirvana period, and their cruelty is unrivaled. After the Grand Nirvana period, who knows how much more savage and cruel the wolf type monsters have become. Their strength is also still unrivaled.

    Luo Feng took his binoculars and looked towards the sound of the wolf's howl at the edge of the rooftop.

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 12: Silver Moon Wolf

    Volume 3 Chapter 12: Silver Moon Wolf

    With the help of the built-in night vision function of the binoculars, he quickly found that there was a large wolf on a street two miles away from him. The wolf was around three meters high and five or six meters long. All the fur on its body was gray, but there were some white hairs hidden on its head.

    Even with the large distance separating them, Luo Feng could still feel the aura the cruel wolf was emitting.

    "This is....." Luo Feng compared the wolf with the data of monsters in his head.

    "It’s the hunter, 'Silver Moon Wolf'" exclaimed Chen Gu out of surprise, "I can't believe it's the king of the wolves――Silver Moon Wolf”

    Luo Feng couldn't help but to be startled.

    Yes, this is a silver moon wolf!

    As king of the wolves, even the weakest adult silver moon wolf is at least a 'medium level commander'. The fur of commander level silver moon wolves are usually gray, but when they start fighting, all of the fur becomes a silver color! And the white hairs on their forehead occasionally change into the color of blood!

    It's known for its sinister tricks and murderous madness! And its fur has an astronomical price in society. The skullcap of the silver moon wolf, which has unrivaled hardness and numerous functions, is also extremely high-priced.


    "This is a high level commander level silver moon wolf". Luo Feng used the body size and color of the fur to make his judgment and couldn't help but to take in a breath, "A high level commander! And it's a silver moon wolf!". Not all high level commanders are the same. For example, is a spirit reader and a fighter the same just because they have the same rank?

    Silver moon wolves are born with extreme cruelty.

    "Look, it's abdomen is injured, and pretty badly" said Wei Tie quietly.

    Suddenly, all the people at the scene turned their heads towards captain Gao Feng.

    "Captain, this is the king of wolves――Silver moon wolf! A high level commander! This one silver moon wolf is worth more than ten high level commander level 'Lion Mastiff' monsters! We'll make tons of money off of this". Chen Gu couldn't help but to say excitedly, "Captain, hurry and make your decision".

    Wei Tie also couldn't contain himself on the side: "Captain, this silver moon wolf is moving forward at a very quick pace; it'll soon leave our field of vision. We can't delay anymore".

    "Even if the silver moon wolf is injured, it's not something we can deal with" said Gao Feng quietly, "Clear your minds up, don't let money control you".

    A heavily injured high level commander is extremely rare.

    And needless to say, meeting a heavily injured king of wolves, 'silver moon wolf', is like winning the lottery! If a high level commander level 'silver moon wolf' wasn't injured, even an advanced warlord wouldn't be an opponent.

    "Captain, I'll try" said Luo Feng.

    "Luo Feng....." Gao Feng hesitated, "are you confident??".

    "I'm not too confident in killing the silver moon wolf, since I never killed one before..... But I'm a hundred percent sure I can escape" laughed Luo Feng. People are most jealous of a spirit reader's capability to――Fly! Spiritual force can be used on inorganic material.

    Luo Feng can instantly use his spiritual force on his alloyed battle boots, letting him jump up to amazing heights.

    After that, he can put his shield under his feet and stand!

    With his spiritual force, he can control the shield, so naturally Luo Feng himself can fly.

    Flying..... this is the capability people are most jealous of. Even a powerful wargod level fighter can't help but to be jealous. This is also another reason why all the major powers are fighting over spirit readers.

    "Okay, Luo Feng, be careful. If you can do it, then do it. If you can't, then don't force yourself. Safety is the most important" said Gao Feng as he entrusted the task to Luo Feng.

    "Relax" laughed Luo Feng.

    With his ghost blade and shield in hand, Luo Feng directly jumped off the rooftop of the six story residential apartment. Hu! Luo Feng started descending rapidly. A regular advanced warrior would be able to withstand the impact from jumping off a six story building, but Luo Feng didn't have to do anything that foolish.

    The powerful, shapeless energy was used on the alloyed battle boots below his feet, and Luo Feng's speed decreased rapidly.

    He softly landed on the ground of the small sector below.

    Luo Feng directly sprinted at an amazing speed. As nimble as a monkey, Luo Feng arrived on the street with two jumps.

    The rest of the fire hammer squad watched closely with their binoculars on the rooftop.

    "So this is Luo Feng's true strength" Wei Tie couldn't help but to express himself, "No wonder spirit readers are the most feared bunch out of fighters. This is just too scary. With their spiritual force, their speed, agility, etc. can all reach unbelievable levels. And there's also telekinesis, which is even more messed up!"

    "It's messed up" Chen Gu couldn't help but to nod.

    "Haha, so you should all be happy" Gao Feng slightly smiled, "A spirit reader joined our fire hammer squad just like that".

    When they heard this, the others suddenly laughed.

    "Captain, guys, do you think Luo Feng can kill that silver moon wolf?" laughed Zhang Ke as he laid on the ground.

    "Hard to say" hesitated Gao Feng, "A high level commander level monster. And Luo Feng just barely qualifies as an 'intermediate warlord' as a spirit reader. There's still hope if he was dealing with a weaker high level commander, but against the king of the wolves..... Thankfully this hunter 'silver moon wolf' is already injured. Luo Feng has a bit of hope".

    "There's still hope!" the group held their binoculars as they watched Luo Feng run.

    Like a flash of black lightning, Luo Feng raced on the street.


    "This silver moon wolf sure runs quickly". Luo Feng took a shortcut, thinking that he could stop the silver moon wolf. Who would've thought that there was still a mile between them, "Hm, it's turning left?".

    Luo Feng suddenly turned left and ferociously jumped over a wall into an abandoned residential sector. He continued taking the shortcut as he chased the silver moon wolf.

    "Howl~~"

    Two relaxing, lying lion mastiff monsters saw the human Luo Feng, and stood up suddenly in response. They gave off a low howl. The ground rumbled as they started charging, but Luo Feng didn't alter his course at all as he sprinted. He was also too lazy to dodge.

    "PUCHI!" "PUCHI!"

    Two throwing knives automatically left Luo Feng's thigh and formed two flashes of light. With such a short distance, the two lion mastiffs had no time to dodge and had their heads pierced.

    The eyes of the two lion mastiffs were filled with shock as they quickly lost their life. "RUMBLE~~" They directly fell on the ground, which caused a short tremor. Without any blood stuck to them, the two throwing knives formed a line and flew back to Luo Feng's thigh.

    Luo Feng quietly jumped into a neighboring alley. With a glance, he saw the silver moon wolf that was at the end of an alley around a hundred meters away.

    "WOO~~" the cruel silver moon wolf stopped and stared at the human not too far away.

    "A silver moon wolf, a heavily wounded silver moon wolf". Luo Feng's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his face, "Alright, with you, we'll see how strong I am right now!" as he said that, Luo Feng approached the silver moon wolf one step at a time.

    The silver moon wolf silently stood in place.

    The eyes of the silver moon wolf that was almost three meters tall, flashed. At the same time, a weird energy flowed through the fur on its body, instantly turning into the color of silver! The silver moon wolf became dazzling! Even the white fur on its forehead became the color of blood!

    A silver colored body and a blood red crown.

    This is the silver moon wolf!

    Luo Feng moved forward one step at a time and became cautious. When he shortened the distance between himself and the silver moon wolf to 50 meters...

    "WHOOSH!" the silver moon wolf instantly became a white flash of light and was in front of him in a blink of an eye!

    "Speed of sound!"

    With Luo Feng's reaction speed that had been tested frequently at the dojo, he determined..... this silver moon wolf's speed nears the speed of sound!

    Luo Feng's face changed greatly and he instantly jumped up like lightning. The silver moon wolf, at practically the exact same time, also jumped up. This jump was just 20 to 30 meters high. Luo Feng could even see the blurred face of the silver moon wolf under the speed of sound, with its hidden cold, blood red eyes.

    The powerful spiritual force was ferociously used on the alloyed battle boots on his feet, causing Luo Feng to go even higher and dodging the attack from the silver moon wolf.

    "So what if your speed reaches the speed of sound. Can you go faster than my throwing knives?" as he dodged the silver moon wolf, Luo Feng pulled out the six throwing knives on his thigh. The six throwing knives instantly became six flowing lights and, like a net, charged towards the silver moon wolf.

    Having traveled the wilderness for all these years, the silver moon wolf was also extremely intelligent.

    With its speed, the human fighter in the air shouldn't have been able to dodge its attack. Only one type of person could change directions and speed at will in the air――Spirit readers! When the silver moon wolf realized that the human fighter in front of him was a spirit reader, it couldn't help but to be shocked.

    But by that time, the six throwing knives, like lightning, already arrived!

    "WOO~" the silver moon wolf gave out a loud, piercing roar. It couldn't change direction or speed in the air; it could only fiercely twist its body and use its claws to hit the throwing knives away.

    With such a short distance, Luo Feng's reaction speed isn't fast enough for him to make the throwing knives avoid the claws.

    PENG! PENG!

    Two of the six throwing knives were actually hit, but Luo Feng, who was still in the air, let out a smile. Even though he let out six throwing knives...... as of now, he can only guarantee that two throwing knives can reach their full power. So the six throwing knives were just there to confuse the silver moon wolf.

    Only two of these throwing knives are truly dangerous.

    "Hunter, you're the first commander level monster to die at my hands" laughed Luo Feng. Suddenly, two of the four originally agile throwing knives lost their power, and the other two charged towards the silver moon wolf's abdomen like lightning! The silver moon wolf was helpless in midair, even though it howled as it tried to use its claws to block the attack.

    However -

    PUCHI! PUCHI!

    The two throwing knives pierced through the previous wound, directly piercing into the body of the silver moon wolf. The internal organs of the silver moon wolf were sliced up into pieces, and the enraged silver moon wolf gave its last howl as it fell down!

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 13: Dissection

    Volume 3 Chapter 13: Dissection

    The silver moon wolf fell powerlessly from the air, and its eyes slowly lost their color. As it died, it thought about the memories of its life. As a silver moon wolf, the king of the wolves, it had been hoping to become a horde leader ever since it was little. It was always doing well, and it was only one step away from becoming a horde leader!
    However.....

    It was ambushed by a wargod level fighter squad and was heavily injured. Thankfully, it was able to rely on the speed it was so proud of to escape. However, as it was escaping, it encountered a warlord level fighter squad. If it wasn't injured, it would've been able to easily deciminate them!

    But, it was heavily injured.

    And this warlord fighter squad continued to haunt it, chasing after it every time. No matter where it ran, that squad was always chasing it.

    "Those sickening human bastards!"

    "At least dying to the hands of a spirit reader is better than dying to those bastards". The silver moon wolf was extremely intelligent. It was a high level commander level king of the wolves that could rival horde leader level monsters in intellect. And horde leader level monsters are usually as intelligent as humans.

    If it's going to die, it has to die to someone powerful.

    "PENG!"

    The large body of the silver moon wolf came crashing down, causing the surrounding walls to wobble and then fall. Luo Feng quickly descended after it.

    "Huff, huff, I can't believe that I was able to kill a silver moon wolf". Luo Feng stood beside the corpse of the silver moon wolf and let out a long sigh. After that, the four throwing knives that were dancing around Luo Feng returned to his thigh, "Hm? There should be two more throwing knives". Luo Feng scanned the area.

    With a glance, he saw two pits on the concrete floor ahead. The concrete floor split open from the shaking, and the two 6th series throwing knives were precisely in these two pits!

    After this scene, Luo Feng couldn’t help but to take in a deep breath.


    The silver moon wolf's speed and power were both unbelievably great.

    "Just in case another squad finds out, I'll dissect this body first. This one silver moon wolf could cost as much as a city" Luo Feng thought no further and immediately started dissecting with his throwing knife in hand. His ghost blade is a 5th series one, which is able to fight with medium level commanders.

    His throwing knives were 6th series, and could fight against high level commanders!

    Luo Feng ferociously slashed towards the silver moon wolf's wounded, split abdomen with his throwing knife.

    "Hm?"

    Luo Feng stared. The fur had long been split open, and yet his full force wasn't even able to cut open half of it. Isn't this too amazing. It's extremely difficult dissecting a monster that isn't wounded, but once they have a large wound, it becomes much easier. Sadly..... Luo Feng's strength isn't enough to dissect a high level commander's corpse!

    "****, looks like even dissecting this monster is difficult" laughed Luo Feng. He then immediately used his spiritual force on one of the throwing knives.

    The power of his spiritual force was way stronger than the strength of his arm.

    "PUCHI!" the floating knife sliced along the split fur. A "CHI" "CHI" sound rang as the wound slowly expanded.

    "It's still so tiring even when I'm using my spiritual force to control my knife?" Luo Feng was surprised. With a beat of his heart, the controlled throwing knife fiercely pierced towards a fine patch of fur. The back of the silver moon wolf was a bit bent, but the fur showed no signs of injury.

    Luo Feng was startled: "That's just crazy".

    "This time I seriously had some bullshit luck" Luo Feng couldn't help but to gasp, "Its speed approached the speed of light and it was so powerful. Even the defense of its expensive fur is astonishingly high. If it was in perfect condition, I'll probably only have a 20 to 30 percent chance of victory!". If Luo Feng fought with it at its peak condition, then his throwing knives can only attack the eyes, ears, nose, and weak parts of the fur.

    However, with the silver moon wolf's agility, Luo Feng's chance of victory was indeed very low; to have a 20 to 30 percent chance of victory is already pretty good.

    "HUA-LA!"

    "HUA-LA!"

    Luo Feng swiftly dissected. First, he skinned the mysterious and expensive fur off, and then cut off the silver moon wolf's tough claws. These claws are used as material in making high grade ke-luo alloys, so they are just as expensive. There's also the silver moon wolf's extremely tough skullcap, fangs, and its special two eyes.

    If it was worth something, Luo Feng dissected it and put it into his bag.

    Many of the special inventions that humans have made are based off of material from various monsters.

    "Got them all"

    Luo Feng took in a deep long breath. Only a pile of flesh was left of the silver moon wolf's large corpse. Luo Feng moved his throwing knives back to his thigh and sighed. He used up lots of spiritual force fighting this silver moon wolf, but he used ten times that in dissecting the corpse!

    "No matter what, it's a big haul"

    "This time, I can get quite a bit of money too" Luo Feng let out a smile. The fire hammer squad splits the money according to each members' contribution in battle. Even if you're strong, if you don't help with hunting a monster, the fighter squad naturally won't give you any money.

    And Luo Feng killed this silver moon wolf alone.

    So Luo Feng will indeed receive lots of money.

    "If someone found me next to this silver moon wolf's corpse, I'll be in trouble" laughed Luo Feng, "Even an advanced warlord probably wouldn't be able to heavily injure the silver moon wolf. It was probably a wargod level fighter. And there was even a tracking signal on the fur, good thing I got rid of it". Luo Feng didn't want to make an enemy out of a fighter who was able to heavily wound the silver moon wolf.

    So, run!

    Luo Feng swiftly left, and only a pile of flesh was left.


    Under the dark night, the tiger fang squad carefully moved forward in the monster's territory in the city.

    "****s sake, that hunter keeps sprinting around in this country level city. Since it's a commander level monster, the other monsters are too afraid to anger it. However, we can only move forward slowly......" cursed a burly, bald man who was walking next to Zhang Ze Hu, "After we kill this hunter, I'll be sure to grill its meat and eat it. If I don't eat it, I won't be able to get rid of my anger".

    Zhang Ze Hu grinned and laughed on the side: "Don't worry, our tracking signal is on that hunter. It doesn't matter where it runs to".

    "Where's the hunter?" asked the captain of the tiger fang squad in a small voice.

    "Captain, the hunter is around 13 miles away from us, but it isn't moving anymore. Maybe it's resting there" laughed 'Dong Zi', the heated weapons user, as he held his tracking machine.

    At this time, the members of the tiger fang squad cheered.

    "It's not moving?"

    "Resting? Haha".

    They were afraid that the hunter 'silver moon wolf' would flee. Zhang Ze Hu laughed: "It appears that the silver moon wolf thinks it's hiding in a safe spot and is getting ready to recover. Too bad it doesn't know our power".

    "Go! We can't miss this chance, it's only 13 miles away from here, so we'll get there quickly" the eyes of the captain of the tiger fang squad flashed as he said softly, "Everyone speed up. Maybe we'll be able to kill the hunter this time".

    The tiger fang squad started moving forward at a much greater speed.

    Even if monsters are all around the city, a fighter squad would be able to move 13 miles in about half an hour if they rush.

    Around forty minutes later.

    "Ahead is the resting spot of the silver moon wolf, everybody be careful" the captain of the tiger fang squad slightly waved his hand and the six members of the tiger fang squad immediately split into two groups and moved around the target from different directions. They slowly surrounded the spot where the tracking machine displayed. Nobody dared to speak a word.

    A silver moon wolf is very sensitive.

    One step, two steps, three steps......

    Everybody was moving extremely carefully.

    "GO!" the tiger fang captain waved his hand and the other squad that received the signal moved at the same time.

    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

    The two squads rushed into the alley from the two directions, one in front and one behind. They were around 100 meters away from the spot. The six members looked towards the spot, where the silver moon wolf should be. However, they didn't see their target, only..... the slight scent of blood in the air.

    "Hm?" the tiger fang captain's face changed.

    "Not good!"

    Virtually all the members of the tiger fang squad rushed over, over to the pile of flesh. Next to the pile of flesh were a few silver hairs!

    "Damn it" cursed Zhang Ze Hu as he grabbed his hair, "someone stole it!"

    Luo Feng knew that fighter squads leave tracking signals on heavily injured monsters. Since the silver moon wolf was heavily injured, there was an extremely high chance of a tracking signal being on it. So he quickly scanned it with his spiritual force and found something on its fur, and directly cut it off.

    "Bastard!" the tiger fang captain clenched his teeth with a grim face.

    "All this time for nothing!" the face of the one eyed middle aged man sank.

    "Go" a cold light flashed in the eyes of the tiger fang captain as he commanded, "Dare to steal food from a tiger. They're asking for death by stealing our things! That fighter squad just dissected the body and would probably rush back to the resupplying base just to be safe! So..... brothers of the tiger fang squad, let's rush back towards the resupplying base as fast as possible! We'll steal it back from them when we catch up to them".

    "Yes, captain" the five members immediately obeyed.

    "Depart" the tiger fang captain murderously waved his hand, and the other members of the tiger fang squad, who were just as mad, immediately followed their captain towards the resupplying base.

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 14: Resupplying Base

    Volume 3 Chapter 14: Resupplying Base

    Starry night.
    Under the starry sky, a shadow, as if black lightning, rushed forward in the ruined country level city. Sometimes it'll run along the street, and sometimes it has to jump through a residential sector..... in mere moments, it reached the six story residential apartment where the members of the fire hammer squad resided.

    "Luo Feng's here".

    "Yup, seems like he isn't injured".

    The members of the fire hammer squad watched Luo Feng enter the residential apartment's staircase through their binoculars. Luo Feng arrived on the rooftop moments later.

    "Captain, brother Chen" Luo Feng laughed as he yelled.

    "No injuries, hm, not bad. So, how'd it go? Were you able to kill the silver moon wolf?" No matter how calm captain Gao Feng was, he just wasn't able to hold back from asking this question. Chen Gu, the Wei Jia brothers, and even Zhang Ke, who was still lying on the floor, looked at Luo Feng expectantly. Chen Gu even joyfully said: "It looks like Luo Feng's backpack has gotten bigger".

    Luo Feng laughed: "Brother Chen, your eyes sure are poisonous. Yea, I just killed the silver moon wolf! I dissected it and put the stuff in my bag".

    "You really killed it?" the eyes of the members of the fire hammer squad widened in surprise.

    A silver moon wolf!

    The king of the wolves! Regular wolf type monsters were already rare in the first place.

    "I got lucky this time too" Luo Feng couldn't help but to say, "I'm afraid that the speed of this silver moon wolf reached the speed of sound! Its attack power was also absurd, and its fur was horrifyingly tough. If it wasn't for the fact that it was heavily injured in the first place and had a large wound on its abdomen, it would’ve been very difficult for me to kill it!".

    "Its speed approached the speed of sound?" glared Chen Gu.

    "That's absurd. Just what you'd expect from the king of the wolves, it can equal a low level pig type horde leader" said Wei Tie out of surprise.

    "Not good" Gao Feng's face changed dramatically.

    Luo Feng was shocked by the captain.

    "Captain, what's wrong? What happened?" followed Luo Feng.

    "The silver moon wolf was already heavily injured, so I'm sure that it fought with some human fighter squad in the past" said Gao Feng hurriedly, "The fighter squad that fought with it might've left a tracking signal on its fur. If this fighter squad chases after us and finds us, we'll be in trouble!"

    Chen Gu heard and also became shocked: "Yea, we can't mess with a fighter squad that can heavily injure a silver moon wolf. There might be a wargod level fighter!".

    When Luo Feng heard this, he couldn't help but to be relieved.

    "Captain, don't worry. I may not have much experience, but I naturally researched a lot about some common knowledge I should know before entering the wilderness for the first time. After killing the silver moon wolf, I checked it out, and there was indeed a tracking signal on it. I cut off the section of fur it was on" said Luo Feng.

    Only after hearing that did Gao Feng and Chen Gu relax.

    They were worried about Luo Feng's lack of experience as a rookie. Since they stole someone else's heavily injured monster, if they manage to chase up, there'll be a problem.

    "Zhang Ke is heavily injured, so our squad can't stay too long in the wilderness. Everybody rest up here. When it's bright tomorrow, we'll depart to the resupplying base" said Gao Feng.

    "Yes, captain".

    The group cheerfully responded.

    Dawn of the second day, the fire hammer squad quietly left the #0201 country level city and headed towards the resupplying base along the old highway.

    In the military sector's resupplying base.

    "Brother Hei"

    Zhang Ze Hu was smoking and chatting with some brute with a large moustache in a corner of the resupplying base, "Have you seen any members of the fire hammer squad return recently? ****, that little shrimp Luo Feng made me waste a hundred million. I'll never be satisfied if I don't mess with him".

    "Not yet. According to the registry, there's no news of the fire hammer squad's return" laughed the large moustached brute, "Tiger, if that Luo Feng messed with you, you have to teach him a lesson in the wilderness. You're banned from taking action in the resupplying base".

    "Of course I know that, I don't want to die yet" laughed Zhang Ze Hu.

    The government's army manages the headquarter cities and military sectors behind the scenes. No matter how much fighters hate each other, they wouldn't dare to fight in the military sectors. If they do, then there'll be tragic consequences. In fact, the resupplying bases are small areas drawn out by the military, so they manage safety and everything else there.

    "Brother Hei, give me a call when that Luo Feng comes back" laughed Zhang Ze Hu.

    "Sure, no problem" laughed the large moustached brute.

    Zhang Ze Hu threw his cigarette butt on the floor, stepped on it, and then laughed: "Alright brother, I'm off. Talk to you later". Zhang Ze Hu then continued walking forward in the resupplying base. It's called a base, but it actually has an atmosphere like a residential sector's. Zhang Ze Hu quickly met the other two members of the squad under a large tree near the gates of the resupplying base.

    "How is it, tiger?" asked the one eyed middle aged man in a small voice.

    "Hasn't returned yet, there's absolutely no news at all" smiled Zhang Ze Hu.

    The bald middle aged man laughed slightly on the side: "If not even one of them has returned yet, then I'm sure that they all died in the horde of monsters. It's good if they all died off, there won't be any trouble". The tiger fang squad wasn't afraid of the fire hammer squad at all, but if any members of the fire hammer squad survive, there'll be a bit of trouble.

    "Fire hammer squad, hmph, if you want to blame someone, blame that Luo Feng" Zhang Ze Hu laughed coldly, "Dared to make me spend money. Oh yea, have you guys found out who stole our hunter?"

    "No" the one eyed middle aged man frowned as he shook his head, "No news at all. The captain is drinking up out of anger in the room right now".

    "I think that, since we haven't been able to meet them on the way back, there's probably no chance of finding out who stole our hunter" said the bald man as he shook his head. Suddenly, his face changed dramatically as he stared at the far away gate of the resupplying base. The other two noticed this and turned their heads in response, and their faces also changed completely!

    Gao Feng, Chen Gu, Wei Qing, Wei Tie, Luo Feng, and Zhang Ke were all at the gate of the resupplying base.

    "A9, old Gao, seems like you've encountered some trouble this time" the guardsman noticed Zhang Ke's missing arm and wrapped it up.

    "****, don't bring that up. The monsters didn't harm us, but those ****ing tiger squad members did!" cursed Gao Feng.

    "Captain, the tiger fang squad is there" Chen Gu suddenly roared ferociously.

    At this time, the members of the fire hammer squad all turned their heads and saw three people under the cold shade of a tree not too far away. After seeing these three people, all the faces of the members of the fire hammer squad became enraged. Zhang Ke, who was carrying a backpack and was still pale, even shouted: "Don't move!".

    Zhang Ze Hu and the other two saw the six members of the fire hammer squad and were shocked, so they started walking away.

    In this case, they were the offenders!

    But they didn't think that Chen Gu would see them.

    "Still trying to run?" yelled Gao Feng.

    The six members of the fire hammer squad rushed over, and the yelling caused quite a bit of attention from the other fighters in the resupplying base. At this time, Zhang Ze Hu and the other two stopped running. If they actually slipped away, wouldn't that be admitting their wrongdoings? Even though they did it, they can't admit it!

    "Gao Feng, what are you yelling for?" yelled the one eyed middle aged man as he turned around, "Where do you think this is? This is a military sector, a resupplying base for fighters. Is this the kind of place for you to act wildly?"

    "If you want to act wildly, look at the spot first" laughed the bald man coldly.

    No matter what, you can't back down.

    "Still acting arrogant?" both of Gao Feng's hands reached for a hammer. He swung his hammers as he ferociously charged at them with red eyes, "You're asking for a beating!".

    The faces of the one eyed middle aged man, Zhang Ze Hu, and the bald man changed completely.

    They didn't say anything, since they were in the wrong.

    "BEEP!" "BEEP!" "BEEP!" an ear piercing whistle rang, and twelve uniform wearing men split up and charged over from afar. The captain of the squad yelled: "Put your weapons down, no fighting in the resupplying base, or else our guards have the right to kill you!"

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 15: Dividing the Spoils

    Volume 3 Chapter 15: Dividing the Spoils

    The yelling and the sound of the whistle attracted quite a bit of fighters to this area.
    "It's the fire hammer squad, against those from the tiger fang squad".

    "How come they're arguing?" discussed the fighters. The fire hammer squad and the tiger fang squad were quite well known in Jiang-Nan city. Under the commands of the guards of the resupplying base, the fire hammer squad forced themselves to calm down, since no one is allowed to challenge the military's authority.

    "Stop!" an aggressive yell. Luo Feng turned his head and saw a skinny man bringing the other two members of the tiger fang squad.

    Chen Gu said quietly beside Luo Feng: "Luo Feng, this is the captain of the tiger fang squad, 'Pan Ya'. His nickname is 'Tiger Fang' and he uses a saber as his weapon. He isn't someone you would want to mess with". Luo Feng couldn't help but to be shocked: this short, skinny, and seemingly insignificant man was actually the captain of the tiger fang squad!

    "Tiger Fang?" Luo Feng carefully looked at the man, 'Tiger Fang'. His gaze then moved towards Zhang Ze Hu, who was behind his captain. When Luo Feng’s gaze was on Zhang Ze Hu, Zhang Ze Hu grinned and laughed to himself coldly, “Keep being arrogant, Zhang Ze Hu! I will make not just you, but also your entire tiger fang squad suffer! Mark my words!”

    Before Luo Feng entered the wilderness, he thought that the act of Zhang Hao Bai attempting to break his arms and legs was cruel.

    Now that he looks at his current situation.....

    The tiger fang squad only had a bit of hatred towards him, and yet they tried to eliminate his entire squad and pretend that nothing happened. What Zhang Hao Bai did was nothing compared to the tiger fang squad's actions.

    "Captain"

    "Captain"

    Zhang Ze Hu and the other two stood behind their captain. A large crowd was spectating the stand off between the tiger fang squad and the fire hammer squad. At that time, the captain of the patrolling squad coldly said: "Gao Feng, Pan Ya, I don't care about what you have to discuss. However, if either of you take action, don't blame me. Brothers, let's go"

    The captain waved his hand, since he was too lazy to watch. With his warning, he was pretty sure that these guys wouldn't dare to mess around.

    "Tiger Fang"!

    Gao Feng laughed coldly, "You're sure cruel. I, Gao Feng, sure underestimated you. I didn't think you would do something so cruel and sinister! First, you secretly attacked us with a sniper rifle from far away, and then you attracted a horde of monsters to surround our squad, giving us almost no chance of survival. Unless someone powerful came and saved us, our squad would've been decimated!".

    The fighters that were watching suddenly went into an uproar.

    The tiger fang squad was too cruel.

    "Gao Feng, don't speak nonsense" the tiger fang captain laughed coldly, "My tiger fang squad did no such thing, so don't blame it on our squad!". No matter what, they can't admit that they did such a thing. Once they admit it, his tiger fang squad will be in big trouble.

    "My brother's arm was hit off by one your sniper rifle's bullets" said Gao Feng with a gloomy face.

    "If I said we didn't, then we didn't" said the tiger fang captain coldly, "If you have proof, bring it to the security agency and let them decide! Don't spout your nonsense here. Brothers, lets go". The captain of the tiger fang squad was straightforward and wasn't willing to talk much to the fire hammer squad.

    Gao Feng, Chen Gu, and the others all had ugly faces on and Luo Feng was clenching his teeth in anger.

    However, Luo Feng was clear. His group had no kind of evidence at all. Even though there are many cases of fighters killing each other over valuable treasures in the wilderness, most of them can't bring out any type of evidence either. Since there's no evidence, the Dojo of Limits wouldn't be able to help out.

    "Hmph, let's go!" commanded Gao Feng as he coldly watched the tiger fang squad leave.

    The members of the fire hammer squad could only hold in their anger as they left.

    Resupplying base, #A9 villa will become the temporary resting spot of the fire hammer squad.

    "Captain, no need to be angry now" said Luo Feng, "We can let those tiger fang squad members have their moment of pride. It wouldn't be too late to deal with them after they enter the wilderness....." Luo Feng's words caused the angry members of the fire hammer squad to let out smiles.

    Chen Gu patted Luo Feng's shoulder: "Yea, our squad has you, Luo Feng. Destroying them won't be difficult"

    "Even ten years wouldn't be too late for a gentleman to have his revenge" laughed Gao Feng as he grinned, "And we don't even need to wait too long anyway. With Luo Feng, the tiger fang squad is doomed!". At this time, the members of the fire hammer squad were all smiling, and even Zhang Ke gave out a rare sigh of relief. Spirit readers all have their periods of rapid growth.

    Luo Feng's ability is already terrifying, and it'll keep flying up!

    You can say...... that the tiger fang squad has virtually no hope at all!

    "The tiger fang squad aside, let's deal with the spoils we got from hunting the monsters" said Gao Feng, "Even though we didn't go out for too long this time, we hunted four commander level monsters: A bloodthirsty tank, a two tailed ocelot, a lion mastiff, and a hunter!"

    On their journey back to the resupplying base, Luo Feng and the others encountered a low level commander level lion mastiff monster. With Luo Feng and Gao Feng there, they easily killed it.

    "However, the resupplying base isn't that big, so it'll be conspicuous if we bring out and try to sell the hunter's materials. At that time, we'll attract the attention of the fighter squad that heavily injured the silver moon wolf" said Gao Feng seriously.

    "Yea"

    Chen Gu nodded in agreement, "Wait until we get back to the city to sell the hunter's materials. We'll sell the other monsters' materials here". For a fighter squad, it's not the soldier level monsters that are worth money, but the commander level monsters..... Needless to say, each of the horrifying horde leader level monsters are worth a ton!

    As for the high level commander level silver moon wolf, it's not only rare monsters, but also the king of the wolves. Its price will surely be equal to a normal low level horde leader, so it'll also be worth a ton!

    "Everybody eat and rest, we'll sell them later" smiled Gao Feng.

    After eating, the six members of the fire hammer squad found the representative of the HR alliance, and directly sold to him the materials of the monsters. Other than the silver moon wolf's materials, they sold everything.

    In the A9 villa, the fire hammer squad was huddle around a computer and dividing up the money.

    "Luo Feng collected many materials from soldier level monsters, whether they're G level or F level. On average, each of the soldier level monsters' materials are worth 6 thousand. In other words, Luo Feng gets around 120 thousand from the soldier level monsters" the captain was dividing up the money, "Wei Tie collected materials from 12 soldier level monsters, and they're all F level. On average, they're worth around 8 thousand each, so it's roughly 100 thousand total".

    "The amount of materials that Wei Qing collected from soldier level monsters....."

    "Zhang Ke collected materials from 11 different soldier level monsters....."

    "Alright, next, we'll be dividing the spoils from the commander level monsters. All the materials from the twin tailed ocelot was worth around 12 million" Gao Feng looked at the group, "I did most of the work in hunting it. If there weren't any accidents, I would get 60% of it, but..... after killing it, we were attacked by a horde of monsters and Luo Feng saved all of us! Luo Feng helped a lot. And Zhang Ke received a heavy wound, so since he's handicapped, he'll get 60% of the money from this commander level monster. I'll get 10%, Luo Feng will get 15%, and Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Chen Gu each get 5%!".

    "Nobody has any complaints right?" said Gao Feng.

    "No complaints" Luo Feng nodded.

    A rule in the fighter squads, if someone becomes handicapped because of a battle, he gets 60% of the spoils. This also counts as some kind of 'subsidy'.

    "So, out of this 12 million, 7.2 million goes to Zhang Ke, 1.8 million to Luo Feng. I get 1.2 million, Chen Gu and the others get 600 thousand each" Gao Feng inputted the numbers, "The lion mastiff monster we killed on the way back was worth 10 million. Everybody contributed quite a bit in this battle, so me and Luo Feng each get 30%. Chen Gu, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Zhang Ke each get 10%. No complaints right?"

    Everybody nodded.

    Actually, Zhang Ke didn't do anything in that battle, but everybody wanted to give him some money. Zhang Ke himself didn't say anything..... a fighter squad is quite compassionate.

    "Luo Feng and I get 3 million each, and the others get 1 million each"

    Gao Feng slightly smiled, "The bloodthirsty tank was worth the most money, it reached 16 million. Chen Gu did the most work, he killed it in one hit, so he gets 60%! Everybody else contributed too, so Luo Feng, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Zhang Ke each get 10%. No need to include me". Naturally, Gao Feng was the richest person in the fighter squad.

    Usually, Gao Feng did most of the work when hunting a commander level monster. So all these years, the amount of money Gao Feng makes could be up to ten times higher than everyone else's.

    That's why Gao Feng is quite modest if he didn’t do much in a fight.

    "In other words, Chen Gu gets 9.6 million. Zhang Ke, Luo Feng, Wei Qing, and Wei Tie each get 1.6 million.

    "In total"

    "Chen Gu gets 11.26 million, Luo Feng gets 6.52 million, I get 4.2 million, Zhang Ke gets 9.91 million, Wei Tie gets 3.3 million, and Wei Qing gets 3.32 million" Gao Feng reported the final totals and laughed, "Of course, we still have our treasure, the materials of the silver moon wolf, which will surely earn us a ton!"

    Volume 3 Chapter 16: Back to the City, Xu Xin's background

    "However, Luo Feng was responsible for tracking, killing, dissecting, and bringing back the materials of the silver moon wolf. He did it all himself" laughed Gao Feng, "So Luo Feng can claim the maximum amount, '80%'. As for the rest, the 20%, we'll split it evenly between the five of us". This was a rule in the fighter squads.
    Even if one person does all the work, he has to give everyone else a little bit too.

    Usually, when killing commander level monsters, the person who does most of the work can get at most 60%. In this case, where Luo Feng did all of the work, he can get at most 80%.

    "Luo Feng, your earnings this time probably exceeds the amount of which I've earned over the past ten years" Chen Gu couldn't help but to yell on the side, "You better treat all of us tonight!"

    "Yes, you better. Pulverize this rich man" followed Wei Tie and Wei Qing.

    Even Zhang Ze Hu of the 'tiger fang squad' only earned 100 million from two years of hard work. And Zhang Ze Hu is in his peak in those two years. Before..... he made even less money. In other words, Zhang Ze Hu probably only made 300 to 400 million from all these years of work.

    As for Luo Feng..... just this one time made him rich!

    However, not just anybody can kill the 'hunter'. Naturally, with Luo Feng's power, he can make lots of money. Strength is everything in the circle of fighters, and those with money are usually amazing.

    "Of course, how could I not? I'll treat everyone in the HR alliance market" laughed Luo Feng.

    "I'll split the money first and send it to each of your accounts"

    said Gao Feng as he laughed. In front of everyone, he transferred the money he received from before into each account of the members of the fire hammer squad one by one. Everyone in the squad knows each other's username and password for their public accounts. Usually, they divide the money right when they get it.

    In the afternoon of the same day, Luo Feng and the others rode a train back home.

    "The train is about to enter the station. Customers that are getting off, please prepare your belongings" a recorded sound rang throughout the train carriage, and with a 'hua' sound, the train carriage's door opened.

    "Go!"

    Gao Feng, Luo Feng, Zhang Ke, Chen Gu, and the Wei Jia brothers all walked out.

    "So many people" Luo Feng stepped out the train and saw a huge amount of tourists in the train station. Tons of densely packed people could be seen waiting for the train through the glass of the train station. A main city in a headquarter city has a population of over 100 million, so one can imagine how lively it would be in a train station there!

    This is called popularity, steaming popularity!

    "Brothers, thank the weapons in our hands, for we have once again returned to the city alive!" said Gao Feng thankfully.

    "We're back"

    "Back to a human city"

    Luo Feng was also shocked inside. Even though he was in the wilderness for only seven, eight days, it was desolate, ruined, and empty. The cities in the wilderness can't even be recognized as cities. There were huge amounts of monsters, so Luo Feng and the others always had to tread carefully in fear of being surrounded by them.

    Only headquarter cities! These are the only safe places for humans to live in! These are the places where civilization exists!

    "Headquarter cities, the final base for humanity" a thought rose from Luo Feng's heart, "It's for humanity's cities that powerful fighters stand up! As for me, I can easily kill regular soldier level monsters and even low level commander level monsters. However, even with weapons, a regular person would be in an extremely bad situation against a commander level monster".

    Why do countries give fighters special rights?

    Why does the entire world encourage fighters to hunt monsters?

    Because the more monsters that are hunted, the safer the human cities become.

    "Hello, I'll probably be able to return home late into the night today" Zhang Ke held his phone with a smile on his face, "Yea, I'll be staying home for an extremely long time, so I'll be sure to please my great wife!". Who could've thought that someone who lost his arm could have such an honest, natural smile on his face at this time.

    Deep down inside, the fighters that fight on the border of life and death in the wilderness are always worried about their families.

    Luo Feng also called his home's phone.

    "Feng"

    Luo Feng's eyes became uncomfortable as he heard this familiar sound, and he responded, "Mom, I'll probably get back home late in the night, so you guys don't have to wait for me to eat dinner".

    "Tonight?" his mom was clearly joyful, "Alright, alright, your dad is outside with your brother, I'll tell them to pick up the phone".

    "No need, I'll be back tonight" Luo Feng's heart felt warm.

    This is home, the place Luo Feng defends.

    "Luo Feng, go, ride the HR alliance's special fighter-only car" commanded Gao Feng. The others have already started to leave.

    "Coming"

    Luo Feng hung up and immediately joined the others. They rode on a fighter-exclusive path. At the end of the path was a small area, where there were special cars from the Dojo of Limits, Thunder Dojo, HR alliance, and even some underground alliances waiting for their fighters.

    As they saw Luo Feng and the others come out, all the chauffeurs cheered up.

    "Go, go to the alliance market" Gao Feng and the others directly went into the alliance market's car.

    "Alright"

    The large, comfortable SUV was started, locked, and with a step on the gas pedal, moved forward.

    Inside the car.

    "Luo Feng, we'll be at the alliance market soon" laughed Chen Gu as he looked at Luo Feng, "Maybe that Xu Xin chick from last time is still there. Luo Feng, now that you're back from the wilderness, you better get your feelings across and get that relationship started".

    "You pervert" scolded Gao Feng as he laughed, and then looked towards Luo Feng, "Luo Feng, a word of advice. That little girl Xu Xin managed to become a bar manager in that lobby at such a young age, so she's not just anyone. She probably has some sort of background, so watch for that".

    Luo Feng nodded.

    He also had the same feeling. In school, Xu Xin was extremely normal. However, at the bar in the alliance market's lobby, the air around Xu Xin was completely different. If we say she was completely shy in the past, then now she's shining like a bright light.

    "Are you guys talking about lady Xu Xin?" asked the driver in a surprised tone.

    "You know Xu Xin?" Luo Feng looked towards him,

    "Of course I do" laughed the driver, "We're always going to the alliance market, so all us brothers that go there to chat obviously know about lady Xu Xin. Even though she isn't extremely pretty..... hehe, whoever can marry her would have an extremely relaxing life"

    Gao Feng's face slightly changed, "Don't tell me that she's from one of the great 12 families of the alliance in the country, the Xu family".

    "Yes, precisely the Xu family. I heard that the Xu family's status in the country is pretty high" said the driver as he nodded.

    Luo Feng was also surprised as he heard this.

    The alliance is made out of super rich families and corporations from America, Europe, etc. You can say that all the large and powerful families from the whole world formed an alliance together. They control the world's economy together and all the governments' armies have no choice but to peacefully coexist with them.
    And——

    in the alliance, besides the nine large families at the top, there are still dozens of other families that are rank 1 in the alliance, corporations aside.

    Each of these families hold an astonishing amount of wealth and an astonishing amount of power.

    "****, that's too much of a background" glared Chen Gu, "I knew this girl's name was Xu, but I didn't think she'd be from the Xu family. Luo Feng brother, even big bro can't help you get this girl Xu Xin, it's too hard"

    "It is hard, but our Luo Feng ain't bad at all" said Gao Feng.

    Chen Gu, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Zhang Ke all started laughing.

    From their point of view, Luo Feng is a spirit reader whose strength will only become more horrifying.

    "Old Fang"

    Gao Feng spoke through his phone" Yea, it's me. Of course we have something good for you, or else why would I call you? It's worth over 100 million for sure. Alright, no problem" after calling, Gao Feng looked at the others in the eye, "I told old Fang. When we get to the alliance market, we'll directly go upstairs".

    "Okay" Luo Feng and the others nodded.

    Moments later -

    The special car passed the soldiers' security line and directly drove to the gate of the alliance market's lobby. The members of the fire hammer squad all got off the car as its doors opened.

    "Mr. Gao Feng, manager Fang is already waiting upstairs" smiled a seemingly capable, pretty woman with short hair and ears.

    "Okay"

    Gao Feng, Luo Feng, and the others didn't say much more and directly went into the lobby.

    In the extravagant lobby, there were quite a bit of fighters chatting in the direction of the bar. Luo Feng's gaze scanned the bar: "Not here?". Then he realized that college begins around this date, and even regular colleges undergo military training when they first begin.

    And today isn't a weekend, so it's not weird that Xu Xin isn't here.

    "DING!"

    The elevator door opened and the members of the fire hammer squad went in.

    "BEEP!" The woman stood in front of the elevator door and pressed '21’. She then aligned her eyes with a detector, "BEEP, pass, welcome lady Liu".

    "Manager Fang is waiting on the 21st floor" smiled the woman.

    Luo Feng and the others nodded.

    The elevator quickly went up and didn't stop until they got there. In just a bit, "DING", the elevator door opened. They arrived on the 21st floor.

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 17: Price, Ecstasy

    Volume 3 Chapter 17: Price, Ecstasy

    After walking out of the elevator, there was an extremely large resting lounge. Just that one resting lounge was probably around 300 to 400 square meters. In the resting lounge were a few bar sofas, where several people were waiting to meet manager Feng. However, they saw..... a squad of fighters that didn't need to wait at all. They just directly walked towards manager Fang's office.
    "Manager Fang is inside, please go ahead" lady Liu directly brought Luo Feng and the others into manager Fang's office.

    In the office, Luo Feng looked around. The ornaments around were sparkling and the floor was made out of toughened glass. Below the toughened glass was a river with fish swimming in it. One can see quite a bit of fish below while standing on top of the toughened glass.

    "How luxurious" Luo Feng thought to himself.

    "Gao Feng, looks like you guys really made a bit this time" a bald, old man with a round face left his seat and laughed as he walked over, "Here, come over and sit".

    The group sat on the sofas facing each other on the side of the office.

    "So, what do you have this time?" the round faced old man laughed as he said, "Let's see it".

    "Old Fang, I'll open your eyes this time" laughed Gao Feng, "A big manager like you receives quite a bit of fighter squads, but you'll rarely see something like this. Luo Feng, take it out".

    "Oh?" manager Fang was shocked and his eyes lit up.

    Luo Feng laughed as he saw manager Fang's reaction as he took out the precious fur of the silver moon wolf from the backpack beside his feet. He put the fur on the ground and spread it out. As if it was a flat silver moon wolf, you could feel the killing intent of the silver moon wolf from it.

    "Hunter!" manager Fang was so shocked that he couldn't help but to stand up.

    "There there" manager Fang was so shocked that he couldn't help but to speak in his hometown's dialect, "Old Gao, this sure is something. For a hunter to be this large, it's probably a high level commander. WIth the silver moon wolf's speed, even a powerful man who just stepped into the wargod level would have trouble killing it".

    The silver moon wolf's speed was indeed shocking. When it was heavily injured, it could reach the speed of sound! One could imagine how fast it would be if it wasn't injured!


    "Hm hm, the fur is quite complete" inspected manager Fang, "Looks like the fur was cut along the wound. However..... it is indeed quite complete". Manager Fang's eyes flashed. The fur of a silver moon wolf is indeed one of the finest materials for clothes in the entire world.

    Even though this fur had other uses, important figures of the world were willing to buy clothes made out of this fur for high prices.

    "Give me a second" manager Fang directly ran over to his office desk.

    And he swiftly took out a locked safe and, while holding it, ran back.

    "Gao Feng, you guys don't have to prolong this anymore. Just take out all the other materials of the hunter" laughed manager Fang as he persuaded. At the same time, he opened the locked safe, which contained a delicate apparatus. After activating it, a red light shone from the top of the apparatus.

    Luo Feng took out the other things one by one.

    The special eyes, claws, fangs, the bones of the legs.....

    "Quite a complete collection"

    Manager Fang's eyes were filled with light as the apparatus shone its red light on the fur, and soon after, the eyes, claws, fangs..... The apparatus displayed a number on its small screen. Manager Fang's expression was serious as he stared at the number, and at the same time, typed the information through a virtual keyboard. Moments later——

    "Hm"

    "These materials are indeed from the same hunter. And this hunter, is indeed a high level commander!" right when manager Fang finished saying that, Gao Feng laughed on the side as he said, "It should be a high level commander that's nearing the horde leader level!".

    Even in the category of high level commander level monsters, there are large differences.

    Monsters that just stepped into the high level commander level and high level commander level monsters that are nearing the horde leader level could have huge differences in strength. Naturally, the prices of their materials differ greatly too.

    "Hehe, of course, I can't hide that point from you guys" laughed manager Fang, "Alright, name your price".

    The members of the fire hammer squad looked at each other, and Gao Feng's look signalled Luo Feng.

    Luo Feng laughed as he spoke, "Manager Fang, what do you think is an appropriate price?". In the 'Home of Limits' and the HR alliance's internet market, there were many prices for a hunter. Luo Feng clearly knew that a high level commander level monster would sell for a lower price to the Dojo of Limits because the Dojo of Limits would give quite a bit of contribution points in return.

    As for the HR alliance market, high level commander level monsters are normally in the 50 million to 500 million dollars range.

    Of course, a hunter is naturally strong, rare, and is the king of the wolves, so its price also has to go above the normal price limit.

    "How about this, these materials are indeed good. 600 million Chinese dollars!" said manager Fang after taking a deep breath.

    Even for him, he rarely makes such huge business.

    Materials from low level horde leader level monsters also usually go for this price.

    Gao Feng, Luo Feng, and the others already discussed the price before coming here. Luo Feng read in the fighter discussion boards that someone sold a 'medium level commander level' hunter for around 50 million earth dollars in South America.

    50 million earth dollars is equivalent to 175 million Chinese dollars.

    If a medium level commander level hunter can sell for this much, then this high level commander level should be worth much more, especially since its already nearing the horde leader level.

    "Old Fang, your price is too low" said Gao Feng as he frowned, "A medium level commander level hunter could already sell for 175 million Chinese dollars in South America. 900 million to 1 billion dollars shouldn't be a problem for ours".

    "Gao Feng, don't play around with me. It could never reach the price of 900 million to 1 billion" laughed manager Fang bitterly.

    Luo Feng laughed as he saw this.

    Actually, the squad came to the conclusion that this hunter should be able to sell for around 700 to 800 million while they were discussing. Captain Gao Feng was just scaring manager Fang by saying this.

    "Hunting this silver moon wolf costed the arm of my brother" said Gao Feng with an ugly face, "I won't say anymore..... 800 million Chinese dollars! If you accept, then we have a deal. Otherwise, I can find someone else. Because of our relationship, I directly came to old Fang without finding anyone else first".

    Manager Fang glanced at Zhang Ke, indeed.....

    Zhang Ke lost an arm.

    "Looks like manager Fang can't pay this price. Let's go" Gao Feng stood up, and Luo Feng immediately started packing up the materials of the silver moon wolf.

    "750 million, my limit" said manager Fang as he frowned.

    However, Gao Feng didn't make a sound, and Luo Feng directly finished packing up.

    "Go" Gao Feng started heading out.

    "Gao Feng, 750 million is pretty good already" sighed manager Fang. As he saw Gao Feng and the others heading out, he yelled, "Come back, we'll do your price!"

    Luo Feng, Gao Feng, Chen Gu, and the others at the door looked at each other and let out a smile.

    There were a few dozen managers purchasing monsters' materials in the HR alliance market. The HR alliance market goes by an elimination system. In other words, those who perform the worst every year directly have their position of manager taken away from them. Naturally, a new person comes to replace them. Under such pressure......

    Naturally, every manager tries to figure out how to collect monsters' materials from fighters.

    In the office.

    "You fighters are too cruel now" said manager Fang as he was working on the transaction, but he also thanked, "Each manager and even each agent from every sector are all competing against each other to purchase materials from the fighters. As the prices become clearer and clearer, our profits become lower and lower. Seeing how you guys just made 800 million in one breath, it even makes old me want to go hunt monsters in the wilderness. Sadly, an old bag of bones like me probably can't even beat a soldier level monster".

    As he said that, manager Fang was conducting the transactions to each account.

    "Manager Fang, your personal assets probably surpass mine with all your meddling these years" laughed Gao Feng.

    "Luck. Sometimes I'll encounter something big, and I'll be able to make a bunch of money" manager Fang let out a smile.

    Gao Feng laughed: "With this, you're probably going to make at least eight digits worth of profit"

    "Not that much" manager Fang shook his head, "Okay, done. I transferred 800 million Chinese dollars into your fighter squad's account".

    Gao Feng, and vice captain Chen Gu received notices from their tactical communications watch notifying them the increase of 800 million Chinese dollars in their accounts.

    "Old Fang, feels great" laughed Gao Feng.

    "You better take care of me with such hauls in the future" laughed manager Fang, "Now, us managers are also under great pressure. If I can somehow become a regional director of a headquarter city's sector, then I'll have things easy".

    "Yea" nodded Gao Feng, "However, powerful monsters are hard to deal with, my brother lost his arm".

    "Ah, yes, losing an arm....." sighed manager Fang as he sighed, "Although I heard there's a treasure that can make an arm grow again. However, the price of that is extraordinarily high, so a regular fighter would never be able to obtain it".

    "Regrow an arm?" Luo Feng's mind was clouded.

    Right when he became a fighter, Luo Feng also searched for such a special medicine in the internet market. However, he couldn't find any medicine that could regrow an arm or a leg. Luo Feng always thought...... that such a medicine didn't exist.

    "There's such a medicine?" Gao Feng also said out of surprise.

    "Manager Fang, what is that thing? Can it regrow a leg too?" Luo Feng also asked excitedly.

    Wow.

    His brother has been handicapped all these years. If there’s a chance to let his brother stand up again, he'll do everything he can to make that a reality.

    "There is. It's the legendary 'Elixir of Life'. Don't even talk about a leg or an arm, even if the lower half of your body is missing, it can grow back" said manager Fang, "However, this thing comes from an existence that far surpasses a horde leader——it's made from the soul of the invincible emperor level monster 'Earth Dragon'. There are just a few earth dragons spread around the entire world. So each elixir of life is extremely expensive! And it's also extremely rare; you can't find them on the internet markets. Our alliance also has none of them in stock. The price for one of them has already reached 30 billion, and there's no market for them".

    "30 billion for one? No market?" Luo Feng's heart started beating faster.

    Right when he thought of his brother sitting on his wheelchair and silently looking out to the scenery outside, Luo Feng couldn't help but to clench his fist: "No matter what...... I'll let my brother stand up again! For sure!!!".

    Default Volume 3 Chapter 18: Plans for the Future

    Volume 3 Chapter 18: Plans for the Future

    However, Luo Feng knew just how hard it was to make 30 billion!
    A weak low level horde leader is worth around 500 million to 1 billion Chinese Dollars. Even if you hunt them alone and kill 10 horde leaders in a year..... you would probably make only around 5 to 6 billion. Also, it's extremely hard for even a wargod level fighter to kill horde leaders.

    The average wargod level fighter probably makes around 5 to 6 billion in a year.

    Even with that, you would have to work hard for six or seven years.

    Furthermore, he's not even a wargod level fighter yet. It was only out of luck that he was able to meet this heavily wounded 'hunter'; there's no way he can get lucky every time.

    "Even though it'll be hard to make 30 billion Chinese dollars, it's not impossible with the sleeping potential in my spiritual force".

    "However, killing an earth dragon" Luo Feng laughed bitterly in his heart.

    A horde leader..... is already extremely horrifying.

    An existence that surpasses a horde leader——the Emperor level, the strongest monsters on earth! There are also humans that surpass the wargod level. For example, the strongest fighter 'Hong' and the second strongest 'Thunder God' both surpass the wargod level. However, these existences are extremely rare!

    Killing an earth dragon?

    Even the strongest human fighters on earth can't be 100% sure that they can kill it.

    "Haha, elixir of life? Captain, when one of you guys reach the level of the world's strongest fighter, 'Hong', throw some small cash at me so I can buy one elixir of life" laughed Zhang Ke. The other members of the fire hammer squad couldn't help but to laugh. Reach the level of 'Hong'?

    Such a person can fight against the government's entire army alone. For these types of people, 30 billion is indeed small cash. However, how many people on this world can reach that level?

    "Go, let's eat!" laughed Gao Feng.

    In a restaurant on the third floor of the HR alliance market. There were dishes all over the table and the members of the fire hammer squad were all grouped in front of a laptop on the side. Captain 'Gao Feng' swiftly scanned his finger on the scanner, typed in the three one-time passwords, and entered the fire hammer squad's shared account.

    "800 million Chinese dollars. As we said before, Luo Feng did all the work, so he gets the highest possible '80%'. The rest of us will split the 20%. No complaints right" Gao Feng looked at the group.

    The group nodded and Luo Feng laughed.

    Fighter squads had all sorts of rules. Some of them try to make the members compete while others promote unity.

    "Luo Feng gets 640 million, the rest of us get 32 million" Gao Feng swiftly transferred the money.

    "BEEP"

    "Transaction successful"

    Notifications appeared one by one on the laptop's screen. Luo Feng lowered his head and looked at his own tactical communications watch, which displayed that his balance has increased by 640 million.

    "Today, Luo Feng's treating us" laughed Gao Feng as he yelled.

    "Yea, we gotta make this rich guy pay" said Chen Gu with an unsatisfied look, "Jeez, just this one time and you've almost caught up to the amount of money I've made over all these years. I'm envious".

    The members of the fire hammer squad were extremely cheerful as they chatted freely and ate and drank merrily.

    Every time they leave the wilderness, they leave the border of life and death! In the wilderness, especially in ruined cities, you're always worried. Nobody dares to relax in those cities..... since there are just way too many monster hordes and commander level monsters there.

    "Drink!"

    "Come, us brothers will have a drink"

    "Feels great. Old Zhang, we've been brothers for almost ten years. Who knows how many times you've saved me on the battlefield. Well, no need to say anymore. Here, cheers!"

    The people around this table were sad because Zhang Ke was retiring, but they were hopeful towards Luo Feng the spirit reader. Everybody's feelings were complicated, so they ate and drank merrily until around 9 PM. Only until then did they find a room in a nearby teahouse to rest in.

    In the room, everybody had a clear cup of tea in front of them.

    "Zhang Ke is going to become an 'instructor' at the dojo" said Gao Feng to the group, "In the future, we'll have five people in our fire hammer squad! Me, Luo Feng, Chen Gu, Wei Tie, and Wei Qing! And since Luo Feng's a spirit reader, his strength surpasses mine. I'm sure his growth in the future will be even more amazing".

    Nobody was unhappy because of Luo Feng's strength.

    A strong fighter in a squad means a higher chance of survival for the squad! The squad will have an easier time hunting monsters and make more money!

    For example, if Luo Feng didn't kill the hunter this time, the other members of the squad wouldn't have earned 32 million. Even though Luo Feng got the majority of the money, they still received way more money than they got from their previous earnings.

    "However, out of us five, Luo Feng is the strongest. I hope that we won't be a burden to him!" said Gao Feng.

    The faces of Wei Qing and Wei Tie changed slightly.

    Both of them were "advanced warrior level fighters", so they were indeed a burden.

    "Captain, I'm still a rookie" Luo Feng couldn't help but to say.

    "Luo Feng, that's not what I meant" smiled Gao Feng slightly, "Wei Tie, Wei Qing, you brothers don't think too much either..... What I meant was that we should raise our goal for the monsters we hunt in the future! So the first goal for our fire hammer squad will be——making every member a warlord level fighter!”

    "Captain....." Wei Tie couldn't help but to say, "My brother and I still have a bit to go until we reach the warlord level"

    "I know that"

    Gao Feng laughed confidently, "I have an idea, tell me what you guys think"

    Luo Feng nodded, and Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Chen Gu also listened in.

    "Wei Tie, Wei Qing, Chen Gu, you three each buy one A grade genetic medicine" said Gao Feng, "That way, with just body fitness level, Wei Tie and Wei Qing will be able to directly enter the 'low level warlord level'. Chen Gu's power and speed will also greatly increase".

    Luo Feng slightly frowned.

    There are currently two mainstream genetic medicines: grade A and grade B. Grade B are for regular people, which let them become fighters! However, those who rely on the genetic medicine to become a fighter will just have average strength in the future.

    A grade genetic medicines are for fighters to use. After using them, their strength can multiply many times! Of course, if your strength was already very high, then the genetic medicine won't be as effective.

    However, one A grade genetic medicine, even with the dojo's half price, costs 360 million Chinese dollars!

    "Captain, I've worked for so many years and, even if I add today's earnings, I only have 430 million" frowned Wei Tie as he said, "With my rate of growth, it seems that a low level warlord is basically my limit. In the future, I won't have many options to make money. So if I throw all my money out right now, how much will I have left when I retire?".

    People always have to think about the future.

    Money isn't easy to make. After working for ten or so years, he only made 430 million. And to use 360 million to buy a genetic medicine? Then wouldn't he be investing everything he worked for in that?

    "Captain, I use heated weapons, so I have to spend quite a bit of money. Using 360 million like this....." Chen Gu was also a bit hesitant.

    "No worries"

    Gao Feng slightly smiled, "You won't need that much money to buy an A grade genetic medicine. When I just became a fighter, I was also a rookie. At that time, I joined a fighter squad and made a brother for life. As of now, that brother is an advanced warlord! He has connections to get a genetic medicine for just 200 million"

    "200 million? Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Chen Gu were shocked.

    "Just, 200 million?" Luo Feng was also completely shocked.

    Half price in the Limit Home's internet market is basically the lowest price you can get. Even half price needs 360 million, but Gao Feng can get it for just 200 million?

    "Then I'll go ask my good buddy to buy some for us, and then you guys can pay me after I give them to you. That way, you'll believe me" laughed Gao Feng. However, there is something he didn't tell them. Only those in his brother's internal organization can get that discount.

    The members of the organization also aren't allowed to sell their things to outsiders, since the organization's prices will inflate and go through other problems if that happens.

    However......

    Gao Feng was willing to give his own money so that Chen Gu, Wei Tie, and Wei Qing won't have to. Since, in terms of wealth, he has much money than all the other members in the squad.

    "In the future, everyone in the squad will be warlord level" smiled Gao Feng slightly, "Chen Gu will be responsible for suppression, etc, Wei Tie and Wei Qing will be responsible for cleaning out the normal soldier monsters, while me and Luo Feng will go for the commander level monsters! With our squad's efficiency, we'll surely be able to kill large amounts of commander level monsters. The amount of money we'll make will be at least 10 times higher than we made in the past".

    Luo Feng couldn't help but to be excited inside.

    According to what Gao Feng said, everyone in the fire hammer squad will become elites. A squad full of warlords, and with his spiritual force...... the power of this squad will be crazy.
