Luo Feng, holding binoculars, observed more than ten monsters appearing at the edge of the street and shouted, "Captain, look, Beast General-level Tiger Cat!"

These dozen or so monsters all had spots on their bodies, somewhat resembling tigers, and belonged to the Tiger Cat clan of monsters. One of them had two tails, which was a sign of Elementary Beast General Level.

The rest of the Fire Hammer Squad rushed over and looked closely through their binoculars.

"It really is Tiger Cat. No wonder they say these monsters don't like to live in groups. There are only sixteen ordinary Beast Soldier level monsters around the beast general, so it's easy to deal with!" Captain Gao Feng was very happy and immediately decided, "Brothers, let's attack them!"

"Set off!"

They didn't fire this time. A beast-general-level monster with only a dozen or so underlings was a rare sight in a small county town. If they fired and scared it away, they would have to find other prey.

While the Fire Hammer Squad was fighting the Tiger Cat.

A six-story residential building 500 meters away.

The Tiger Fang Squad is using binoculars to survey their surroundings.

A one-eyed middle-aged man frowned and said, "According to the tracking signal, the location of that 'Hunter' Silver Moon Fierce Wolf is more than ten miles away from us. However, the monsters here are very dense. If we want to pass through, we will inevitably alert them."

Their Tiger Fang Squad is quite strong, much stronger than the Fire Hammer Squad. They consist of four generals and two Advanced Warriors, and they have excellent teamwork and are all experienced veterans.

They usually hang out in the city, where there are more monsters, it's easier to find lone beast generals, and it's more convenient to make money. If they hadn't found this heavily injured High-level Beast General Hunter on the road, they wouldn't have come to this county town to kill monsters.

Tiger Fang Captain Pan Ya pondered for a moment, thinking about how to pass safely without alerting the monster. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the Fire Hammer Squad, who were fighting the Tiger Cat Monster in the distance.

He was Mid-level General with amazing eyesight.

Although he wasn't familiar with the Fire Hammer Squad, he still recognized them.

"Is that the Fire Hammer Squad?" Pan Ya asked, puzzled. "What are they doing in this county?"

A burly man carrying a giant machete on his back had his eyes light up and immediately grabbed his binoculars. "It really is the Fire Hammer Squad. Luo Feng in their team is a newcomer. They must have come to the county town to mentor him."

The Fire Hammer Squad usually hangs out in the city.

"Captain, I have a grudge against this Luo Feng. It's because my nephew offended him that he forced me to spend 100 million to settle things!"

The burly man carrying the machete is named Zhang Zehu. His nephew, Zhang Haobai, is Luo Feng's classmate. Zhang Haobai and is arrogant. Because Luo Feng surpasses him in both academic performance and martial arts, he harbors deep resentment.

However, when he tried to take revenge on Luo Feng, he ran into a brick wall. By then, Luo Feng had become Quasi-Warrior, and he could not afford to offend him.

This led Zhang Zehu to spend 100 million yuan to buy his nephew a One-star Citizen in order to save him, and even then he still has to serve several months in prison!

Zhang Zehu said, "This is a rare opportunity, why don't we take this chance and kill him!"

The rest of the Tiger Fang Squad were taken aback.

Captain Pan Ya smiled and said, "Tiger is usually reckless, but I didn't expect him to be so meticulous. That's a good idea, let's do it that way!"

Zhang Zehu was taken aback.

What happened to me? What did I say?

I can't figure this out!

Pan Ya said, "Aren't we just thinking about how to get through here without alerting these monsters?"

"The Fire Hammer Squad has arrived just in time!"

"A-Xiao, A-Dong, you two use your sniper rifles to deal with the key members of the Fire Hammer Squad first, then immediately open fire on the two monster hordes around us! We're far away, so the monster hordes won't be able to tell where the bullets are coming from if we fire suddenly."

"These monsters are not very intelligent, and they will definitely be attracted to the Fire Hammer Squad and attack them. We can then easily pass through here while the monsters are distracted!"

The Tiger Fang Squad fell silent for a moment, but no one objected.

This wasn't the first time they'd attacked other martial arts teams.

Pan Ya said coldly, "Hitting us is bad luck for the Fire Hammer Squad!"

The cruelty of the Wilderness Area is not limited to monsters. It is not uncommon for warriors to resort to underhanded tactics to seize prey. However, it is rare for them to use such underhanded tactics to distract monsters.

Zhang Zehu was delighted, gritting his teeth as he said, "Dongzi, remember to aim at Luo Feng later and shoot him dead, so I can vent my anger!"

A-Dong touched the gun in his hand and smiled coldly, "You can trust me to handle things."

Two sniper rifles were set up, and the two team members using firearms chose to use high-powered armor-piercing rounds and began to aim. At the captain Pan Ya's command, the two pulled the triggers at the same time.

Bang!

Bang!

Two deep, muffled thuds rang out, and two bullets tore through the sky, their targets aimed directly at the Fire Hammer Squad, who were dissecting the Twin-Tailed Tiger Cat's corpse to extract materials.

The bullets travel at several times the speed of sound; they arrived before they even heard the gunshot!

A head aimed at Luo Feng.

Another shot was fired at Captain Gao Feng.

Because of today's good results, Luo Feng and his teammates were initially very happy.

"Um?"

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and his reaction was almost reflexive—the blurry phantom in front of him causing the air to vibrate was a bullet!

He didn't have time to shout a warning.

The extreme tension caused a surge of adrenaline to build up in his body, making his hair stand on end and his nerves tense to an unprecedented limit!

Life-or-death crisis!

His survival instinct instantly brought his body and mind to their peak!

"Puff!"

The armor-piercing round tore through the air and shot towards Luo Feng's head!

Luo Feng swung his Blood Shadow Battle Saber as if by reflex, unleashing the full force of his body to its limit. Moreover, the force emanating from his waist and hips, the center of his body's power, still had enough energy to unleash a second burst of force in an instant!

Nine Heavens Thunder Blade - First Level!

With the acceleration of the First Form of the Ninefold Thunder Blade and Mental Power, the Blood Shadow Battle Saber's speed soared!

Furthermore, his Mental Power was also applied to the rapidly approaching armor-piercing bullet without hesitation. The bullet slowed down, and with a "clang," Luo Feng's Blood Shadow Battle Saber directly struck the armor-piercing bullet!

The tip of the armor-piercing projectile dented, and the entire projectile was ejected.

Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately looked at his teammates to see what was going on.

"Huh!"

He saw a black throwing knife silently floating beside him.

Luo Feng was naturally very familiar with this, as he had six similar throwing knives clipped to his thigh.

Other Mental Master?

Are they enemies or friends?

The throwing knife suddenly moved, striking the distance like lightning.

Luo Feng followed the flying knife and looked over. In the dark night sky, the flying knife merged with five other black streaks of light. It was almost invisible if you didn't look closely, and it rushed directly towards a six-story residential building in the distance.

"It's the Tiger Fang Squad!"

Gao Feng saw the six-story residential building, the very spot where the gunshots had rang out, and the Tiger Fang Squad's figures disappeared on the rooftop. He gritted his teeth and muttered, "Tiger Fang!!"

He was just a hair's breadth away from death. If that black throwing knife hadn't pierced through the air and sliced through the armor-piercing bullet, he would have been hit in the head and lost his life!

At this moment, Lin Yan appeared and asked, "Are you alright?"

In the distance, the six black streaks of light returned and hovered behind Lin Yan.

Luo Feng felt that the color of the throwing knife seemed a bit more vibrant, but he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination. He exclaimed in shock, "You are... Mental Master?"
