“Phew, phew, I never thought I could actually kill a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf.” Luo Feng stood beside the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf’s corpse and let out a long breath. At this moment, four throwing knives circled around him before dropping back into the knife pouch strapped to his trouser leg. “Hm? There are still two more throwing knives.” Luo Feng swept his gaze across the surroundings.
At a glance, he spotted two deep pits in the concrete ahead. Even the concrete ground had cracked apart because of them. At the bottom of those pits were the two Grade 6 throwing knives.
This sight made Luo Feng suck in a cold breath.
The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf’s speed and the power of its claws were unbelievably terrifying.
“To avoid being discovered by other squads, I should dissect the corpse first. This Silver Moon Fierce Wolf is worth a fortune.” Luo Feng did not dare waste time thinking further. He immediately held a throwing knife and began dissecting the corpse beside the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf. Right now, the weapon on his body, the Blood Shadow Battle Sabre, was only Grade 5, enough to fight intermediate commander level beasts.
The throwing knives, however, were Grade 6.
They could battle advanced commander level monsters.
Following the already split wound along the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf’s abdomen, Luo Feng suddenly exerted force and slashed downward with the throwing knife.
“Hm?”
Luo Feng widened his eyes. Even though the fur had already split open, he still could not cut through it at all, even using his full strength with the throwing knife. This was simply unbelievable. Normally, dissecting a monster without wounds was the hardest. But once there was a major wound, the difficulty should decrease greatly. Unfortunately, with an advanced commander level beast corpse, Luo Feng’s strength still could not cut through it.
“Damn, looks like even dissecting monsters is highly difficult.” Luo Feng laughed bitterly and immediately used his spiritual force to control a throwing knife.
The power of spiritual force was far stronger than the strength of his arms.
“Puchi!”
Following the split in the fur, the floating throwing knife suddenly sliced downward. Instantly, tearing sounds rang out as the wound rapidly widened.
“I’m already using spiritual force to control the knife, yet it still takes this much effort?” Luo Feng was shocked. A thought crossed his mind, and he controlled the knife to float before fiercely stabbing at an intact patch of fur on the wolf’s back. The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf’s back merely sank slightly, but not even a scratch appeared on the fur.
Luo Feng was stunned. “This is way too monstrous!”
“I really hit the jackpot this time.” Luo Feng could not help sighing in amazement. “Its speed reached the speed of sound, its attack power was terrifying, and even its most valuable fur had astonishing defence. If it had been in perfect condition when I met it, my chances of winning would probably have been only twenty to thirty percent.” Against a peak condition Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, Luo Feng’s throwing knives could only attack weak spots such as the eyes, ears, and nose where the fur was thinner.
But considering the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf’s agility, Luo Feng’s chances of victory were indeed very low. Having a twenty to thirty percent chance was already decent.
“Puchi!”
“Rip!”
Luo Feng rapidly dissected the corpse. First, he peeled off the entire magical and extremely valuable fur. Then he removed all of the wolf’s hard claws. These claws were materials used for creating high grade Kro alloy, making them equally valuable. There was also the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf’s extremely hard skull, its fangs, and its somewhat special pair of eyeballs.
Anything valuable, Luo Feng dissected and stored in his backpack.
One had to know that many inventions in human society originated from materials taken from monsters.
“All done.”
Luo Feng let out a long breath. The once enormous Silver Moon Fierce Wolf corpse was now nothing more than a pile of flesh and blood. Luo Feng controlled the throwing knives back into the pouch strapped to his trouser leg, feeling emotional. When killing the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, he had not expended much spiritual force. Yet dissecting the corpse had consumed more than ten times the amount used during battle.
“No matter what, I’ve made a huge profit.”
“This time, I’m going to earn quite a bit of money too.” A smile appeared on Luo Feng’s face. The Fire Hammer Squad distributed money according to each member’s contribution during battle. Even if you were extremely powerful, if you contributed nothing to killing a certain monster, the warrior squad naturally would not give you a single cent.
And the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf had been killed entirely by Luo Feng alone.
Luo Feng would naturally receive a large share of the money.
“If people discover I obtained this Silver Moon Fierce Wolf corpse, it’ll be troublesome.” Luo Feng smiled. “Someone capable of heavily injuring a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf probably isn’t even an advanced warlord level fighter. It was most likely a war god level fighter. There was even a tracking signal on the fur, luckily I removed it.” Luo Feng did not want to become enemies with a warrior capable of severely injuring a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf.
So he had to leave quickly.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng rapidly departed in silence. Under the night sky, only a pile of flesh and blood remained behind.
…
In the darkness, countless monsters occupied different areas of the county town while the Tiger Fang Squad advanced carefully.
“Damn it, that hunter dares sprint through the county town because it’s a commander level monster. Other monsters don’t dare provoke it. But we can only move carefully…” A sturdy bald man walking beside Zhang Zehu cursed. “Once we kill that hunter, I’m definitely roasting and eating its meat. If I don’t eat the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf’s meat, I won’t vent this frustration.”
Beside him, Zhang Zehu grinned. “Don’t worry. That hunter still carries our signal. No matter where it runs, it’s useless.”
“Where is the hunter?” the Tiger Fang captain at the front asked in a low voice.
“Captain, the hunter is around thirteen li away from us. But it’s stopped moving now. It should be resting there.” Dongzi, the heavy weapons user, said with a smile while holding the locator.
The entire Tiger Fang Squad immediately became delighted.
“It stopped moving?”
“It’s resting? Haha.”
What they feared most was the hunter, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, fleeing wildly. Zhang Zehu chuckled. “That Silver Moon Fierce Wolf probably thinks its hiding place is safe enough, so it’s hiding there to recover. It has no idea how capable we are.”
“Move! We can’t miss this chance. It’s only thirteen li away, we’ll get there quickly.” The Tiger Fang captain’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he said deeply, “Everyone increase your speed. This time, we might actually kill that hunter.”
The Tiger Fang Squad immediately accelerated.
Thirteen li, if a warrior squad travelled quickly, even with monsters everywhere, they could arrive within half an hour.
…
About forty minutes later.
“Ahead is where the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf is resting. Everyone be careful.” The Tiger Fang captain lightly waved his hand. Immediately, the six squad members quietly split into two teams and slowly approached the source of the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf’s signal from two directions. Nobody dared speak.
The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was extremely sensitive.
One step, two steps, three steps…
Everyone moved cautiously.
“Attack!” The Tiger Fang captain waved his hand, and the other team acted simultaneously after receiving the signal.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two teams rushed into the alley from opposite directions, one from the front and one from behind, both roughly a hundred metres from the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf’s signal. The six squad members looked towards the centre in the distance. According to reason, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf should have been there.
But they saw no target.
Only the faint smell of blood.
“Hm?” The Tiger Fang captain’s expression changed drastically.
“This is bad!”
Nearly everyone in the Tiger Fang Squad rushed forward, arriving beside the pile of flesh and blood. Next to it was a small cluster of fur faintly stained with silver light.
“Damn it.” Zhang Zehu grabbed the fur and cursed. “Someone stole it!”
Many warrior squads knew how to leave tracking signals on heavily injured monsters. Luo Feng knew this common practice too. Since the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was already heavily wounded, it was highly likely it carried a tracking signal. So when Luo Feng swept the area with his spiritual force earlier, he immediately discovered the abnormal fur and sliced it off.
“Bastard!” The Tiger Fang captain gritted his teeth, his face twisted fiercely.
“All this time was wasted!” The one eyed middle aged man looked gloomy with anger.
“Move.” The Tiger Fang captain’s eyes flashed coldly as he barked, “Whoever dared steal our prey is courting death! That warrior squad just finished dissecting the corpse. For safety reasons, they’ll most likely head straight for the supply base. Therefore, Tiger Fang Squad brothers, we immediately head for the supply base at maximum speed. We’ll try to intercept them midway.”
“Yes, Captain.” The five members immediately obeyed.
“Move out.” The furious Tiger Fang captain waved his hand, and the equally furious Tiger Fang Squad members followed him towards the supply base.
The night sky glittered with countless stars.
Under the starlight, a shadow darted swiftly through the ruined county town like black lightning. Sometimes he followed the streets, sometimes he leapt through residential compounds. In only a short time, he arrived at the six storey residential building where the Fire Hammer Squad was staying.
“Luo Feng is back.”
“Mm, he doesn’t seem injured.”
The Fire Hammer Squad members used binoculars as they watched Luo Feng enter the staircase. Moments later, Luo Feng reached the rooftop.
“Captain, Brother Chen.” Luo Feng called out with a smile.
“You’re not injured, good. So, did you kill that Silver Moon Fierce Wolf?” Even the steady Captain Gao Feng could not help asking urgently. Chen Gu, the Wei brothers, and even Zhang Ke lying on the ground all stared at Luo Feng excitedly with anticipation. Chen Gu exclaimed in surprise, “Luo Feng’s backpack looks much fuller.”
Luo Feng laughed loudly. “Brother Chen, your eyesight is really sharp. Yes, I luckily managed to kill that Silver Moon Fierce Wolf. I dissected it and stored everything in my backpack.”
“You really killed it?” Several members of the Fire Hammer Squad stared wide eyed in shock.
A Silver Moon Fierce Wolf.
The royal bloodline among wolves.
Wolf type monsters were already rare, not to mention the royal class Silver Moon Fierce Wolf.
“This time, I was really lucky.” Luo Feng sighed emotionally. “The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf’s movement speed probably reached the speed of sound. Its attack power was absurdly strong, and its fur was unbelievably tough. If it hadn’t already been severely injured with a huge wound on its abdomen, killing it would have been extremely difficult.”
“Its movement speed reached the speed of sound?” Chen Gu widened his eyes.
“That’s insane. No wonder it’s considered the royal clan among wolves, comparable to beginner lord level pig type monsters.” Wei Tie could not help exclaiming.
“This is bad.” Gao Feng’s expression suddenly changed drastically.
Luo Feng jumped in fright from the captain’s reaction.
“Captain, what’s wrong?” Luo Feng quickly asked.
“This Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was already badly injured, which means it definitely fought human warriors earlier.” Gao Feng anxiously explained. “The warrior squad that fought it probably left a tracking signal on its fur. If that squad tracks it down and finds us, we’ll be in serious trouble.”
Chen Gu was equally alarmed. “That’s right. A warrior squad capable of severely injuring a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf isn’t someone we can afford to offend. There could even be a war god level fighter involved.”
Hearing this, Luo Feng relaxed slightly.
“Captain, don’t worry. Although I don’t have much experience, before entering the wilderness area for the first time, I researched a lot of relevant information and learned the necessary basics. After killing the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, I checked carefully. There really was a tracking signal left on the wolf, but I cut off that patch of fur.” Luo Feng explained.
Only then did Gao Feng and Chen Gu relax.
What worried them most was Luo Feng’s lack of experience as a newcomer. After all, stealing someone else’s heavily injured prey would become a disaster if the original hunters caught up.
“Zhang Ke is seriously injured now, so our squad can’t stay in the wilderness for long either. Everyone rest well here. At dawn tomorrow morning, we’ll leave and return to the supply base.” Gao Feng said.
“Yes, Captain.”
Everyone answered with smiles.
Early the next morning, the Fire Hammer Squad quietly departed County No. 0201 and travelled along the ruined highway towards the supply base.
…
Inside the military district supply base.
“Brother Hei.”
Zhang Zehu stood in a corner of the supply base, smoking and chatting with a bearded man. “Have you seen the Fire Hammer Squad return recently? Damn it, that bastard Luo Feng from the Fire Hammer Squad cost me a hundred million. If I don’t teach him a lesson, I can’t swallow this anger.”
“Not yet. Their return hasn’t been registered in the records.” The bearded man smiled casually. “Huzi, if Luo Feng offended you, then deal with him in the wilderness. Fighting is forbidden inside the supply base.”
“Of course I know that. I don’t want to die.” Zhang Zehu laughed.
