The Desperate Hunting Squad

[109 Merit Points. Congratulations! You have been promoted to Second Lieutenant!]

What?!

What kind of setting is this?

Previously, I was a soldier of ranks 1 to 9. How did I become Second Lieutenant? What ranks are there after Second Lieutenant, and what are the corresponding Merit Points?

After operating the wristwatch and accessing the relevant information, Hua Qiang finally understood the system for assigning military merits and ranks.

Killing level one to Level 3 Exotic Beast will earn you 1 to 3 Merit Points respectively.

1-10 Merit Points a Level 1 Warrior, 11-20 Merit Points a Level 2 Warrior, 21-30 Merit Points a Level 3 Warrior... 81-90 Merit Points are equivalent to Ninth-Level Peak Warrior.

Killing four to three level Mutant Beasts will earn you 10, 20, and 30 Merit Points respectively.

101-300 Merit Points Second Lieutenant, 301-600 First Lieutenant, and 601-900 Merit Points Captain.

Merit Points 901-1000 is the Peak Captain.

Killing level 7-9 Mutant Beasts earns 100-300 Merit Points.

1001~3000 Merit Points Major, 3001~6000 Merit Points Lieutenant Colonel, 6001~9000 Merit Points Colonel, and 9001~10000 Merit Points Senior Colonel.

10,001-30,000 Merit Points Major General, 30,001-60,000 Merit Points Lieutenant General, 60,001-90,000 Merit Points General, and 90,001-100,000 Merit Points Marshal.

???

After reading the information, Hua Qiang was completely dumbfounded when he saw the row of question marks at the end.

What does this mean? Is there an pending level above it?

I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't figure it out, so I simply stopped thinking about it.

You need to be fast enough to kill as many Mutant Beasts as possible, and you should target high-level ones.

Even if you kill level one, two, Level 3 Exotic Beast until the end of time, you'll probably only be able to reach the rank of colonel.

If you want to wear the star of General, then don't even dream about it.

Seeing the 100 to 300 Merit Points corresponding to the level 7, 8, and 9 Mutant Beasts, Hua Qiang couldn't help but complain.

The person who set this number is fucking stingy!

Seventh, eighth, and ninth-level Mutant Beasts are at the level of Martial Emperor, Martial Saint, and Martial God Realm. Ordinary people can not even get close to them or kill them.

After all that hard work, Nine Deaths, One Life to kill one, all for such a tiny bit of a share? Is this guy out of his mind?

Hua Qiang grumbled for a while, turned off his watch, picked up the Cold Moon in his hand, waved it in the air, and walked away gracefully.

In a vast wasteland, gusts of sharp, Xun Wind raged through the air, mercilessly reaping anything that stood in their way.

A small squad of twenty men, each wounded and dressed in rags, were desperately trying to escape the Xun Wind.

Dozens of enormous Vajra Demon Ape were hot on their heels.

Panic and fear filled the crowd; their hearts pounded like drums, each beat a reminder of their impending doom.

As they struggled to evade the fierce, Xun Wind, they prayed in their hearts that they could escape the pursuit of the demonic ape.

"What do we do? Are we going to die here?" someone said in a trembling voice, their eyes filled with despair.

"We can't give up, there must be another way!" another person gritted their teeth and replied, but their voice also betrayed their fear.

At this moment, the Vajra Demon Ape behind him became even more arrogant and domineering.

"Foolish humans, you cannot escape!"

"Be good and let's be our food!"

The leading demonic ape sneered loudly, its voice echoing like muffled thunder across the wasteland.

"You bunch of weak ants, you dare to resist? Today is your death day!"

The other demonic apes also joined in the clamor, their insults rising and falling.

Hearing these mocking insults, the members of the small team felt even more desperate.

They ran as fast as they could, but their legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind swept in, and several people were unable to dodge in time and were blown to the ground by the Xun Wind.

Before they could even get up, the enormous figure of the Vajra Demon Ape loomed over them like a nightmare.

The leading demonic ape let out a deafening roar, its eyes flashing with ferocity and greed.

It raised its huge claws high and swung them down with a whooshing sound.

One of them stared in despair at the descending giant claw, his pupils filled with terror, but he had no time to react.

With a muffled "thud," the giant claw instantly smashed the man into a bloody pulp, splattering blood and staining the surrounding earth red.

Another demonic ape opened its blood-red maw and lunged at a person nearby. The person frantically brandished their weapon, trying to defend themselves.

Faced with the immense power of the demonic ape, their resistance seemed utterly futile.

The demonic ape bit into his body, its sharp teeth easily piercing through his flesh. Accompanied by the horrifying chewing sound, the man let out a shrill scream, and soon fell silent.

Another demonic ape swept its thick, powerful arm, sending one person flying.

The man's body flew through the air in an arc like a kite with a broken string, then crashed to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, struggled a few times, and then lay still.

The remaining people watched this bloody and cruel scene, and fear overwhelmed them like a tidal wave.

Their faces were ashen, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. The long run had left them exhausted, and every step felt like it carried the weight of a thousand pounds.

Their clothes were already soaked with sweat, and torn even more tattered by the wind and sand on the wasteland.

My legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and my pace inevitably slowed down.

The ferocious Vajra Demon Ape, with their powerful stamina and speed, quickly caught up with the exhausted small team and surrounded them.

The demonic apes wore ferocious and mocking expressions, their enormous eyes gleaming with cruel light as they stared intently at them as if they were looking at plates of delicious food.

Some of them slapped the ground with their claws, raising clouds of dust; others let out low growls, as if pronouncing the fate of these people.

Looking at the menacing demonic apes surrounding them, the members of the small team felt a surge of despair, unwilling to accept their fate.

"Fight them!"

Someone shouted, and it seemed that the last bit of fighting spirit in everyone's hearts was ignited by this shout.

They raised their broken weapons, their eyes revealing a resolute determination.

A brave warrior charged towards the demonic ape, brandishing his Longsword and slashing fiercely at one of them.

The demonic ape easily dodged the attack, then slammed its enormous claw down, sending the warrior flying.

The soldier fell to the ground with a thud, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and struggled to get up.

The others also rushed forward and engaged in a fierce battle with the demonic ape.

Some people thrust their swords at the demonic ape's legs, while others used shields to block the demonic ape's attacks.

However, their strength was far too insignificant in the face of the demonic apes. The demonic apes swung their enormous claws and easily knocked them to the ground.

The demonic ape grabbed a person, lifted him high, and then slammed him to the ground, instantly rendering him unconscious.

Another person tried to ambush the demonic ape from behind, but was discovered by the ape, which turned around and slapped him away.

Despite their best efforts, their resistance seemed utterly futile against the powerful demonic ape.

Finally, everyone was knocked to the ground, covered in wounds, their blood staining the wasteland red.

They lay on the ground, gazing at the sky in despair, awaiting their death.
