Return to the Martial Warrior Supply Base

Inside an abandoned unfinished building.

"Roar, roar, roar~~~"

Dozens of enormous Single-horned Boars charged about as if provoked, their roars echoing through the floors.

Dust blanketing the ground was swept into the air, turning everything gray and hazy. Cracked patches of peeling paint fell from the old walls under the vibrations.

The herd of Single-horned Boars looked imposing, but it was completely useless. Their enormous size difference gave Yang Wu plenty of room to maneuver.

With Perfect Level movement techniques and exquisitely precise spearwork, every one of Yang Wu's attacks sliced unerringly across a Single-horned Boar's neck.

In just a moment, several Single-horned Boars fell. The gray, dusty floor was littered with monster corpses.

Since being taught a lesson yesterday, Yang Wu had become much more low-key.

He shifted more of his attention to lone monsters. If he did not strike, so be it—but once he did, he had to be fast, ruthless, and precise.

He dissected their corpses as quickly as possible and collected the valuable monster materials.

Then he swiftly left the scene.

Besides that, even when he suddenly felt like charging into a monster herd, he only picked those led by an Intermediate Beast General.

Such small monster herds generally consisted of one Intermediate Beast General leading several Elementary Beast Generals and dozens of Soldier-level Monsters.

Only this kind was deeply loved by Yang Wu.

After all, even when squeezing a persimmon, one had to pick the soft ones.

"Pfft!"

A moment later, Yang Wu effortlessly slaughtered the entire small boar herd. Looking down from above, he approached the herd leader, an Intermediate Beast General Single-horned Boar.

His spear swept out, and a massive head flew high into the air.

Tsk, to be honest.

Yang Wu particularly enjoyed this feeling of crushing his opponents. Evenly matched battles were certainly exciting, but steamrolling all the way through was what he wanted most.

Killing stronger opponents across levels was exciting, but Yang Wu genuinely disliked it. Other than lunatics, who the hell enjoyed getting beaten up every day?

Of course, if he could instantly kill enemies above his level, Yang Wu liked that quite a bit. Just like Luo Feng in the original story, wantonly slaughtering Immortals on the Extraterritorial Battlefield when he was at the World Master level.

That was something Yang Wu quite liked.

"Still too slow!"

He cut off the Single-horned Boar's horn and placed it in his backpack. As for the other Soldier-level Single-horned Boars, he could not even be bothered to loot their corpses.

If he had better options, he would not bother hunting Single-horned Boars. They were cheap and took up space, making them a complete waste.

But there was no helping it. Pig-type and dog-type monsters reproduced so rapidly that the vast majority of monsters in the entire city belonged to those few types.

Yesterday had been a bumper harvest, practically the perfect start.

Not to mention the Intermediate Beast General Black-haired Mastiff, the Advanced Beast General Hunter Silver Moon Wolf was worth as much as ordinary Elementary Lord Level monsters.

His luck was not nearly as good today.

Night was about to fall, yet so far, he had only encountered one Intermediate Beast General Bloodthirsty Tank, one Advanced Beast General Tiger Mastiff, and the Intermediate Beast General Single-horned Boar he had just hunted.

Though it could not compare to the first day, it was still a modest haul.

After collecting the monster materials, Yang Wu swiftly left the abandoned commercial building. The sounds of the battle had surely attracted other monsters.

He did not want any unnecessary complications.

Sure enough, not long after Yang Wu left, a group of fang-filled monsters rushed into the unfinished building, drawn by the scent of blood.

"Crunch... crunch..."

The monsters did not care whether something was their own kind. In their eyes, anything could become food.

Before long, the corpses of those Single-horned Boars had been eaten clean.

Not even whole corpses remained!

August 8. This was Yang Wu's third day in the Wilderness Area. Though the first two days had both been bumper harvests, he had gained nothing today and wasted the entire day.

Yang Wu was not discouraged by this. Even fishermen casting nets had days when they came back empty-handed.

August 9, his fourth day in the Wilderness Area, finally brought another bumper harvest, making Yang Wu so happy he could barely close his mouth.

An Advanced Beast General Great Strength Demon Ape, an Intermediate Beast General Bloodthirsty Tank, an Advanced Beast General Iron Armor Wild Bull, and an Intermediate Beast General Tiger Cat.

On the evening of the fourth day, just as the sun set behind the western hills, Yang Wu shouldered his pack and, full of reluctance, set off for the Martial Warrior Supply Base.

He was out of water!

His high-energy food was nearly used up as well!

Although his martial artist backpack was not yet full, it was close enough: five Intermediate Beast General monsters, three Advanced Beast General monsters, and a Silver Moon Wolf close to Lord Level.

The important materials from an Elementary Beast General monster could generally sell for five million to fifteen million Hua Xia currency.

Important materials from an Intermediate Beast General monster generally sold for ten million to over one hundred million.

Important materials from an Advanced Beast General monster generally sold for fifty million to roughly six or seven hundred million.

Of course, there were occasional exceptions.

Some extremely special monsters, or some that were technically Advanced Beast Generals but were nearly Lord Level themselves, naturally commanded higher prices, such as the Hunter Silver Moon Wolf.

However, the vast majority of monster materials fell within the price ranges above.

All told, Yang Wu would earn roughly two billion Hua Xia currency from this trip into the Wilderness Area.

He could ride here on a motorcycle, but on the way back, he could only rely on his own two feet.

There was no helping it. His backpack was too huge!

Even riding a motorcycle was not as reliable as walking.

Yang Wu quietly left City 023 and rapidly headed toward the Martial Warrior Supply Base along the ruined highway.

In fact, with the physical fitness of a Warrior Level martial artist, sprinting through the Wilderness Area was not necessarily much slower than riding a motorcycle.

And at full speed, even motorcycles would have to make way.

It was simply that no martial artist would be foolish enough to do that.

Every trip into the Wilderness Area allowed them to carry only limited supplies. Moreover, the wilderness was extremely dangerous, and they needed to conserve enough stamina to deal with any dangers that might arise.

For the sake of survival and maximizing profits, they naturally chose to travel on foot.

Early the next morning, as dawn was just breaking.

The military district garrison, Martial Warrior Supply Base.

After several hours of walking, Yang Wu finally arrived at the Martial Warrior Supply Base.

Carrying a huge, bulging backpack, he walked straight into the supply base under the astonished gazes of the staff.

What he did not know was that his unharmed return had sparked widespread discussion throughout the entire supply base.

"Holy shit, it's him!"

"This guy didn't die? He actually came back alive from the Wilderness Area?"

"Who is he?"

Some martial artists asked curiously. They had just returned from the Wilderness Area and knew nothing about Yang Wu's exploits.

In truth, Yang Wu had no idea how much of an impact his journey through the wilderness on a motorcycle had made on the martial artists at the supply base.

Madman!!!

That was right. In their eyes, Yang Wu's actions made him a complete and utter madman.

A motorcycle was so loud that it would inevitably attract a huge number of monsters. Was he not trying to get himself killed faster?

No one had thought highly of him.

Yet now, he had returned completely unharmed!
