Piece of Cake!

Bearded Uncle had already taken out a huge bronze shield, nearly three centimeters thick.

A skull was embossed in the center of the shield, with bone spikes protruding from it. The entire shield weighed over a hundred jin and was extremely sturdy.

The shield could not only defend, but also attack with the bone spikes on its surface. It was incredibly tough; Bearded Uncle had used it to withstand countless fierce assaults from demonic beasts.

Bearded Uncle's arms were exceptionally muscular. In Chen Feng's eyes, he looked like a real tough guy, especially with that shield in hand.

They had carried out operations like this many times.

Zhu Tao drove the truck, but there was no road ahead, so she could only stop.

"Zhu Tao, stay in the truck and keep the engine running. If we run into danger and can't handle it, we'll retreat immediately."

Bearded Uncle instructed her.

They needed to keep their retreat route ready at all times. If they encountered a powerful demonic beast they could not defeat, they would have to use the truck to escape quickly.

The truck would also be useful if they had to retreat while injured.

Zhu Tao was inside the truck, surrounded by sturdy steel plates. Even the windows were made of special composite glass. Ordinary demonic beasts would not be able to threaten her life. She was very safe inside.

"There's a Green-skinned Lizard up ahead!"

The group heard something crawling nearby. They pushed aside some leaves and saw a three-meter-long Green-skinned Unicorn Lizard in an open patch ahead, feeding on small creatures it had hunted.

It had not noticed the people behind it at all.

"I'll go!"

Zhang Yang licked his lips and pulled out an exceptionally sharp dagger. It was two decimeters long, a slender dagger knife.

Zhang Yang quietly approached the lizard from behind. The lizard seemed to notice something and suddenly turned its head, its green eyes studying Zhang Yang before it.

The horn on its head was made of layers of keratin and was razor-sharp. When it opened its mouth, rows of sharp teeth were exposed, and it lunged forward to bite him.

Chen Feng had never seen such a huge creature before. It looked rather frightening.

The lizard was incredibly fast. It opened its jaws and attacked, but Zhang Yang dodged to the side. With lightning speed, his dagger thrust upward at an angle from below and pierced the lizard's throat. Blood flowed out as the lizard let out a strange cry and tried to flee, only for Zhang Yang to stab it again.

Zhang Yang was at Blood Qi Stage Eight. Both his speed and strength were astonishing. He finished off the lizard in just a few moves, leaving it motionless on the ground.

"Impressive!"

Tao Min gave him a thumbs-up.

"Piece of cake!"

Zhang Yang smiled. He already had experience dealing with this kind of lizard.

"Uncle Zhang Yang's moves are clean and decisive. You can tell he's a veteran," Chen Feng said with a smile as well.

After Zhang Yang finished it off, he dragged the lizard's corpse over and said with a smile, "Little brother, since this is your first time here, let me teach you something. This lizard's skin is very tough. If you stab it anywhere else, the dagger might not pierce through in one strike. But if you seize the right moment and hit its throat, you can kill it directly. If you drag out the fight, you might get bitten instead. In a place like this, conserving stamina is crucial to survival. If you can finish something quickly, don't drag it out."

"I've learned a lot."

Chen Feng nodded, feeling that Zhang Yang's words made perfect sense.

"Are we continuing deeper now?" Chen Feng asked.

"Let's head back first and put the corpse in the truck," Bearded Uncle said. "This corpse is huge. Breaking it down and carrying it ourselves would waste too much stamina, so it's best to put it in the truck. Besides, we can't go too deep. We need to stay within a certain distance of the truck along the main paths nearby so we can retreat in time if we run into danger."

"Mm!"

Chen Feng watched as Bearded Uncle and the others dismembered the lizard's corpse, packed it up with carrying straps, and then returned the way they had come.

After placing the materials in the back of the truck, they drove onward again.

The truck's cargo compartment was a huge iron box. Once the doors were opened, they could put the items inside and close them again, ensuring nothing would be lost.

The truck drove forward for a while, but there was no road at all ahead. Zhu Tao then joined the group and left the truck parked beneath a tree.

"Won't someone secretly take our things if we leave the truck here?" Chen Feng asked many questions like a complete novice.

Bearded Uncle smiled. "No, because there's an unwritten rule here. Hunting teams all drive in, and if everyone did that to one another, then nobody would need to hunt anymore. They could just steal things instead.

"Of course, there are still some shady people who do such things. If they're caught or discovered, we have the right to kill them, and we can even report them to the City Guard to have them arrested!"

"Alright, let's keep moving!"

Bearded Uncle led the group onward. Before long, they encountered all sorts of strange creatures in the forest.

Some resembled creatures from Earth, but they also differed in certain ways.

For example, the horned lizard Chen Feng had seen earlier was different from Earth's creatures. After all, lizards with a single horn were rare.

As they advanced, they had already gone three hundred meters deeper. Along the way, they killed three Red-striped Big Cats.

The corpses were left in a hidden location, while the important materials were collected and stored in a relatively concealed corner.

If any demonic beast materials were especially valuable, they would carry them with them.

The three Red-striped Big Cats they had killed somewhat resembled leopards, but they were smaller. Their speed was extremely fast, and they made eerie wailing sounds before Zhang Yang dispatched them directly.

It had to be said that Zhang Yang, Tao Min, and Bearded Uncle were all seasoned fighters.

Chen Feng had not made a move so far.

They seemed to be teaching Chen Feng how to hunt demonic beasts, deliberately letting him observe more. Although Chen Feng was a Martial Soul User, it was his first time here, so he naturally lacked experience.

Now, they encountered a White-armored Pig ahead. It had the Combat Power of Blood Qi Stage Seven. This time, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Little brother, this pig has very strong defenses. Even its neck is covered in Armor Plates, making it harder to deal with than the earlier lizard. It has two sharp tusks that can easily pierce through a person's chest."

Chen Feng smiled. "Does this White-armored Pig have no weakness?"

"It does, but it's under its belly. Its legs are short, and it attacks with its two tusks. It's extremely heavy, so finding a chance to attack its weakness requires some strategy."

Zhang Yang smiled. "First, use a blunt weapon to injure it through shock. Second, find a way to make it expose its belly. My usual strategy for killing White-armored Pigs is to grab their tusks, pull them upright, expose their bellies, and kill them in a single blow. But you have to time it well, or it's easy to get hurt."

"I'll handle this White-armored Pig!"

Chen Feng looked at the White-armored Pig, which was even larger than pigs on Earth, and spoke.

He took out a dagger he had bought before coming here. It was not particularly good, but it was sharp enough. He believed it would be enough to deal with this pig.

"Huh? Are you serious?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise.

"Little brother, this pig isn't easy to deal with. But you do need some practical experience. We'll watch from the side, and if anything goes wrong, we'll help you!"

Bearded Uncle knew Chen Feng had come here to train. If he never made a move, there would be little point in coming here.

Still, he would watch Chen Feng from the side. If Chen Feng encountered any danger, he would intervene. At the same time, they wanted to see how capable Chen Feng was in actual combat.

Even on a first attempt, one could tell how capable someone was in real combat.

"Be careful," Zhu Tao said worriedly from the side.
