“Roar～～”
“Awwoo～～”
From the fields and ruined villages on both sides of the motorway came waves of monster roars. Luo Feng could even see quite a few monster figures. The other five members of the Fire Hammer Squad were very relaxed, but Luo Feng did not dare slacken in the slightest. He simply could not relax, because he could see monsters everywhere.
“Mhm, Luo Feng, ahead there is a one horned wild boar between g class and f class. I’ll leave it to you.” Captain Gao Feng’s voice sounded. “This is your first battle since entering the wilderness area!”
“Luo Feng, this is your first battle, don’t be careless. These monsters’ savage instincts are far fiercer than the monsters raised in the military district.” Chen Gu reminded seriously. Luo Feng smiled. He could feel Brother Chen’s concern. In the current Fire Hammer Squad, the ones closest to him were undoubtedly Chen Gu and Zhang Ke, who both lived in Mingyue Estate.
As for Captain Gao Feng and the Wei brothers…
After all, they had been complete strangers before. As a newcomer, gaining the recognition of Gao Feng and the other two was not an easy matter.
“Good luck, Luo Feng. Your current speed and neural reaction speed have already just reached the qualification line for advanced warrior level physical fitness. Your strength is also close to advanced warrior level. Dealing with this one horned wild boar should not be a problem.” Iron Spear Zhang Ke also rarely spoke to encourage him.
The other three, Captain Gao Feng and the Wei brothers, all watched Luo Feng.
“Shing!”
Luo Feng drew his Blood Shadow Battle Sabre, holding a shield in his left hand and the sabre in his right. Smiling slightly, he said, “Captain, Brother Chen, just watch me bring back this one horned wild boar’s horn.” As he spoke, he swiftly approached ahead.
They watched Luo Feng leave.
“Captain, making Luo Feng fight a one horned wild boar close to f class for his first battle, isn’t that asking too much?” Chen Gu could not help speaking. “Although our Fire Hammer Squad should test and assess Luo Feng, we should still do it step by step. Starting with a g class monster would be better.”
“Right, we can’t rush things either.” Zhang Ke also spoke.
“The captain’s arrangement is fine.” The elder of the Wei brothers, Wei Tie, said deeply. “Luo Feng’s physical fitness is not inferior to that monster at all. Although the difficulty is quite high, after suffering a bit he should still be able to win.”
“This is his first time entering the wilderness area.” Zhang Ke was somewhat dissatisfied.
“So what if it’s his first time? I don’t want him becoming our burden. Otherwise, how could we dare hunt powerful commander level monsters while dragging along a newcomer?” Wei Qing beside him frowned.
At this moment…
Among the five veteran members of the Fire Hammer Squad, Chen Gu and Zhang Ke were clearly supporting Luo Feng, while the Wei brothers viewed Luo Feng with suspicion.
“Enough arguing.” Gao Feng spoke.
Chen Gu and the other four quietened down.
“Let’s watch first. We’ll talk after seeing Luo Feng’s battle with the one horned wild boar.” Gao Feng said expressionlessly.
Luo Feng moved like a nimble leopard, swiftly darting behind an overturned saloon car on the motorway. He looked at the one horned wild boar not far ahead. Its entire body was covered in black fur, like rows of black steel spikes. A dark grey horn protruded from its head like a sharp blade.
Under the glow of the evening sunset, that horn reflected an icy cold light.
If the iron fur boar during the warrior combat assessment had resembled a heavy Hummer, savage and ferocious, then this one horned wild boar gave the feeling of both agility and ferocity combined.
“This is my first battle. I have to make it look impressive.”
“I was able to join the Fire Hammer Squad partly because Supervisor Zhuge instructed it, but more importantly because Brother Chen and Brother Zhang helped me.” Luo Feng clearly understood one thing, it was very difficult for a newcomer to join an elite commander level squad. Captain Gao Feng and the Wei brothers obviously maintained doubts about him. He had to prove himself through battle.
Luo Feng stared fixedly at the one horned wild boar searching for prey ahead.
The h, g, and f levels respectively corresponded to beginner beast soldier, intermediate beast soldier, and advanced beast soldier. Clearly, this one horned wild boar before him was close to f class in strength.
“Huff～～ Huff～～”
The one horned wild boar let out low growls, its murderous eyes sweeping across the surroundings.
“It spotted me.” Luo Feng’s heartbeat accelerated, yet he instead felt excited.
“Boom～～”
The one horned wild boar suddenly sprinted forward, like a high speed tank charging straight at the cover before Luo Feng, the ruined saloon car. Luo Feng moved like an agile monkey, swiftly dodging aside. With a loud crash, the saloon car was sent flying, tumbling several times across the motorway. The vehicle body, weathered for decades by sun and wind, split apart directly, and the wheels rolled away before finally toppling over.
The instant Luo Feng dodged aside, he immediately charged towards the one horned wild boar.
“Beast, die!” Luo Feng roared.
His entire body shot forth like lightning. The Blood Shadow Battle Sabre in his hand flashed with cold light as it slashed directly towards the one horned wild boar’s neck. Yet the one horned wild boar, having just rammed the car away, seemed unable to turn in time. However, just as Luo Feng approached it…
Whoosh!
A black shadow lashed towards Luo Feng’s head.
“So fast.” Luo Feng was shocked. He immediately pushed off with his feet, barely twisting aside to avoid the black shadow. That shadow was the one horned wild boar’s tail, like an iron whip.
“Puff!” “Puff!”
After lashing its tail, the one horned wild boar’s agility instantly surged. It suddenly pounced at Luo Feng. Its thick iron hooves and sharp horn stabbed directly towards him.
“Damn, this one horned wild boar is too fast.” Luo Feng immediately stepped back, raising the shield in his hand forward.
Bang!
The shield and the one horned wild boar’s iron hooves collided violently. At the instant of impact, Luo Feng borrowed the rebound force to rapidly flip backwards. He rolled across the ground to disperse the force, while the one horned wild boar continued charging madly after him. Luo Feng flipped up, stepped onto the body of a ruined lorry, and then with another quick movement hid behind it.
The obstruction of the lorry prevented the one horned wild boar’s rapid charge from achieving any effect.
…
The five members of the Fire Hammer Squad watching from afar all nodded slightly.
“Captain, Luo Feng’s reactions are pretty good, right?” Chen Gu smiled.
Captain Gao Feng smiled and nodded. “Quite good indeed. I thought he would suffer a little in his first encounter with this one horned wild boar. I didn’t expect his improvised reactions to be so fast, and his fundamentals are very solid. Using the shield to disperse force was also extremely skilful, his movements flowed like water. Luo Feng actually escaped this wave of attacks without injury. Hmm!”
Even the always cold faced Wei brothers relaxed their icy expressions slightly.
“Wei Tie, Wei Qing, Luo Feng’s not bad, right?” Zhang Ke also revealed a smile.
“This battle hasn’t ended yet. It’s still too early to say.” Wei Tie said coldly.
The five members of the Fire Hammer Squad continued watching the battle between Luo Feng and the one horned wild boar.
…
Luo Feng’s mind was highly focused, inwardly shocked. “This one horned wild boar is really cunning. It deliberately showed weakness at first, then suddenly attacked me with its tail, followed immediately by its iron hooves and sharp horn. And finally that frenzied charge… such a chain of attacks. Fortunately, over these past few days, I’ve been training in Nine Stage Thunder Blade, giving me far more precise control over my body’s strength!”
Had it not been for this month of training in Nine Stage Thunder Blade…
Luo Feng would probably have needed to use his spiritual force to guarantee avoiding injury from that wave of attacks.
“Huff～～”
The one horned wild boar growled, not foolishly crashing into the lorry. Instead, it leapt over the vehicle and rapidly charged at Luo Feng.
“Beast, this time you’re dead!”
Luo Feng fiercely kicked a discarded tyre beside him. The tyre shot out like a projectile from a catapult, smashing towards the one horned wild boar. The beast did not slow down at all, merely lowering its head slightly. The horn atop its head was incomparably sharp, directly slicing the tyre in half before it fell aside.
Meanwhile, immediately after kicking the tyre, Luo Feng charged at the one horned wild boar.
“Huff～～”
As the one horned wild boar smashed apart the tyre, it immediately turned its head, its horn stabbing towards Luo Feng.
“Die!”
At this moment, Luo Feng’s body rotated with astonishing agility, like a butterfly. He narrowly and exquisitely avoided the horn’s stab. At the same time, the Blood Shadow Battle Sabre in his hand borrowed the momentum of the spin to strike instantly. The sabre light accelerated rapidly along an arc.
Puff!
Fast as lightning, the spinning slash landed directly on the one horned wild boar’s neck. Luo Feng clearly felt the hardness of its fur and the toughness of its hide. Truly worthy of a hide that even ordinary bullets could not penetrate.
Bright red blood seeped out. Luo Feng’s slash only cut about five centimetres into the one horned wild boar’s neck before it could go no further.
“Roar～～”
The one horned wild boar howled madly, violently turning its head to ram towards Luo Feng.
The heavily injured one horned wild boar became even more frenzied!
…
“What!”
“What agile movement!”
Shock appeared across the Wei brothers’ faces.
“He actually managed to avoid the stab from the one horned wild boar’s horn so exquisitely!” Wei Tie exclaimed in amazement. “Unbelievable. And he even dared spin in front of the one horned wild boar’s horn. Wasn’t he afraid the horn would pierce his body? Too exquisite. Was that just absurd luck, or does he truly have the skill?”
That spin looked simple, yet it revealed Luo Feng’s astonishing movement technique.
“Good!”
“Beautifully done!” Chen Gu and Zhang Ke could not help cheering.
“This kid really has ability.” Gao Feng smiled as he spoke. “In such a dangerous situation, he dared to do that and even succeeded. His movement technique is definitely extraordinary. His timing was also excellent. However… the most troublesome thing about monsters is their strong vitality. Killing this one horned wild boar will not be easy.”
All five members of the Fire Hammer Squad, including the Wei brothers, revealed faint smiles.
The five continued watching the battle in the distance between the already crazed one horned wild boar and Luo Feng.
Smack! Smack!
Foul smelling blood rolled down the thick hide on the one horned wild boar’s neck, dripping onto the dust covered motorway. Madness glinted within its eyes. Amid deep growls, the one horned wild boar repeatedly charged at Luo Feng like lightning. Iron hooves, horn, and tail, the three forms of attack came one after another without pause.
