Great Harvest

The Hunting Gun Squad had been staying in the 048 Abandoned City for a week.

This week, they had hunted four intermediate-level commander monsters, six junior-level commander monsters, and a large number of soldier-level monsters.

The five men's backpacks were packed to the brim; it could be said they had a bountiful harvest.

"Let's head back tonight. We've had good luck this time, killing ten commander-level monsters in just one week," Chen Fan said with a smile.

"That's right. Last time the five of us went out for a month, we didn't even kill this many monsters. Even Yang Hu and the others... sigh," Zhao Gao said, thinking back to their last trip to the Wilderness Zone.

"If I had been stronger, those two wouldn't have..." Chen Fan sighed.

The Hunting Gun Squad originally had five members, but during a hunt, another wave of monsters suddenly appeared, catching everyone off guard.

While retreating, Yang Hu and Liu Ming were killed by the monsters one after another.

After the other three reached safety, they couldn't even recover their teammates' bodies, and the grief in their hearts was indescribable.

It was precisely for this reason that Chen Fan had sought out new teammates. He happened to meet two geniuses, Sett and Luo Feng, and invited them to join the team to reorganize.

Chen Fan, Yang Hui, and Zhao Yong fell into a momentary silence. The atmosphere felt quite oppressive.

"Brother Chen, Brother Zhao, Brother Yang. Although I don't know the situation back then, I'm sure you all did your best. When venturing out here, danger and opportunity coexist; the only hard truth is that we must improve our own strength," Luo Feng comforted them from the side.

Awooo!

A massive wolf howl broke the silence.

"It's a Hunter!" Chen Fan said.

A giant wolf the height of a single story appeared on the street, looking around vigilantly.

"Why has this wolf come out again?" Zhao Yong asked.

"Look, its fur has changed color!" Sett exclaimed.

The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's original gray fur had turned silver-white, and the crescent-shaped white fur on its forehead had turned blood-red. For a moment, it radiated a fierce aura.

Suddenly, a tiger roar rang out, making the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf instantly act as if it were facing a formidable enemy.

"It's the White-Haired Tiger King!" Chen Fan exclaimed.

It also had a three-meter-tall body, though it was more slender than the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf.

It appeared opposite the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, accompanied by the sound of its roar.

"There's actually a White-Haired Tiger King here too," Zhao Yong said in surprise. "The White-Haired Tiger King is a rare tiger-type monster with a coat of white fur. It has long fangs like a saber-toothed tiger, an astonishing bite force, and a tail that acts like a whip.

"An adult has the strength of an advanced commander. This White-Haired Tiger King prefers to live alone; no matter where it goes, it's usually by itself. It's incredibly strong, with few rivals among monsters of the same level. It looks like the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf and this White-Haired Tiger King are about to fight. We're in for a good show."

Awooo!

The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf let out a howl, its massive body accelerating in an instant, pouncing toward the White-Haired Tiger King like a bolt of lightning.

A white afterimage remained in the air, and its rapidly running feet left craters in the long-abandoned road surface.

The White-Haired Tiger King let out a low growl, its massive tail slicing through the air like a divine whip, lashing out at the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf.

The whip-like tail struck the running Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, sending its massive body flying.

The giant frame crashed into a nearby building like a small hill.

Rumble!

A massive hole was smashed into the abandoned building, and fragments of building materials scattered across the area like falling flowers, kicking up a large cloud of dust in the air.

The White-Haired Tiger King flashed into the large hole.

For a moment, the group couldn't see what was happening inside the building.

"Damn, this is so exciting! Two freakish monsters beating each other up—I wonder if we can pick up some benefits later," Sett couldn't help but curse.

"I wonder what the situation is like inside," Luo Feng said.

Craters rapidly appeared in the building, and the sounds of collisions and monster roars echoed from within.

A white monster flew out of the building and rolled several times on the ground. Before it could even stand steady, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, with the crescent-shaped blood-red fur on its forehead, rushed out of the building and bit toward the White-Haired Tiger King.

The building behind them could no longer hold up, rumbling as it began to collapse.

The two monsters instantly tangled together as the massive building crashed down onto their enormous bodies.

But the defensive power of advanced commander-level monsters was astonishing; the two monsters felt nothing from the collapsing building, focusing only on the enemy before them.

"The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf is done for," Zhao Yong said.

The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf had been whipped at the very beginning, and its massive body was covered in bite wounds, whereas the White-Haired Tiger King was barely injured and appeared to have the upper hand.

"Hard to say. This Silver Moon Fierce Wolf is cunning; it might be intentionally exposing a weakness," Chen Fan added.

The half-meter-long tiger fangs bit into the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's body, causing the wolf to howl in pain as blood gushed from the massive, fountain-like wound.

The wolf's injuries grew more severe; already unable to beat the White-Haired Tiger King, its strength plummeted due to the wounds, and the number of times it was struck gradually increased.

Awooo!

The wolf was sent flying by a tiger-whip strike, crashing into a nearby house. It let out a howl of unwillingness, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't stand up.

The White-Haired Tiger King walked toward the fallen Silver Moon Fierce Wolf with the elegant pace of a king.

"The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf is going to die," Sett said upon seeing the situation.

"Yeah, this White-Haired Tiger King is truly formidable. Regardless of its strength or fighting technique, especially that tiger tail, it's just monstrous," Chen Fan clicked his tongue and said.

With padded paws, the tiger walked without making a single sound as it approached the Fierce Wolf.

The White-Haired Tiger King let out a long roar, seemingly declaring itself the victor of this encounter.

It held its arrogant head high, and the tiger's roar lasted for a long time, as if to announce the satisfaction in its heart.

"What!" Luo Feng exclaimed.

The Silver Moon Wolf King, which had been lying on the ground unable to rise, suddenly sprang up and bit into the neck of the White-Haired Tiger King.

The Tiger King, currently basking in its triumph, was caught completely off guard; at the moment of its greatest pride, it had its throat bitten through by the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf.

Having used its final burst of strength to bite the White-Haired Tiger King, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf collapsed to the ground, unable to move even the slightest bit more.

"This Hunter is truly cunning," Zhao Yong said in surprise.

"What are we waiting for? Why not strike when such a good opportunity presents itself?" Chen Fan picked up his spear and said.

The group naturally understood what their captain meant, quickly grabbing their respective weapons and rushing out of the room behind Chen Fan.

Yang Hui held his sniper rifle, helping the group scout the surrounding area.

Fortunately, the battle between the two giant beasts had caused the nearby monsters to flee far away. The four of them reached the two beasts and harvested all their valuable materials without encountering the slightest obstruction.

"It's a pity the wolf hide has so many large holes in it, otherwise it could have sold for much more," Zhao Yong said with some regret.

"Brother Zhao, we've gotten a huge bargain this time. Even if the wolf hide is damaged, it's still the hide of a Hunter-level Silver Moon Fierce Wolf; it's bound to be worth a large sum of money. Plus, there are these wolf claws and fangs," Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Exactly, you're never satisfied. Look at that White-Haired Tiger King; its hide is also worth a fortune, especially those two giant fangs. Tsk tsk tsk, I'm drooling just looking at them," Chen Fan said, gesturing toward the two large teeth of the White-Haired Tiger King.

"This is a huge harvest. Just that little moment earlier was probably worth more than our gains from the entire past week," Sett also laughed.

"That's for sure."

The hide of a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf drives the wealthy crazy, and similarly, the hide of a White-Haired Tiger King holds immense appeal for the rich as well.

Not to mention the two giant fangs; whether used for decoration or as alloy materials, they possess tremendous value.

"Let's set off again when night falls. This weather is scorching; I'm drenched in sweat just from moving," Chen Fan said with a smile.

As the sky grew dark, the group finished packing their gear, shouldered their backpacks—which were nearly as tall as a person—and headed toward the military district with their weapons in hand.

The five of them were in high spirits, and the journey went quite smoothly; they returned to the military district in two days.

"Finally back!" After arriving at the rooms prepared for the warrior squads in the military district, Zhao Yong tossed his gear aside and said happily.

"Yeah, finally back. We've made a fortune this time," Luo Feng laughed.

After each of the five went to their rooms to wash up, they decided to get a good night's sleep before worrying about selling the monster materials.

Sett reported his safety to his family and mentioned that he would be home in two days. His parents, who knew Sett was coming home, were overjoyed, especially Jin Wenying, whose heart had finally settled after being suspended in anxiety.

Once everything was finished, Sett went to sleep soundly.

In the military district, there was no need to worry about monster attacks, so he slept very peacefully and securely.
