In Danger

"Captain, it's a Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig and Bloodthirsty Tanks!"

As the most experienced veteran of the Phantom Squad, Zhou Zheng identified the strength of the monster generals at a glance: "The Tiger Mastiff currently fighting and that Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig are both Elementary Beast General Level, while the other two Bloodthirsty Tanks are both Advanced Beast General Level!"

"Captain, this is a rare opportunity! Are we going to take this job?" Zheng Tao asked eagerly.

If there was anyone in the Phantom Squad right now who was more desperate to make money, it was undoubtedly Zheng Tao.

The group had been in City 023 for half a month and had only managed to hunt five Advanced Beast General Level monsters. To encounter two at once now, their luck was truly excellent.

What made it even rarer was that these two Beast General Level monsters didn't have many Beast Soldier Level monsters under their command; even the hundreds of Tiger Mastiffs were likely hostile toward the Bloodthirsty Tanks.

"Are we doing this?"

Everyone's gaze converged on their captain, Chu Tian.

"The opportunity is rare—let's do it!" Chu Tian gritted his teeth and said, "As soon as the battle ends, we retreat along the same path immediately!"

Although Chu Tian felt that the location of the skirmish was a bit too close to the lair of a Lord Level monster, he ultimately chose to take the job.

It was simply because such an opportunity was too rare to pass up.

Once the decision was made, Chu Tian didn't dawdle: "Move out!"

At Chu Tian's command, the six of them quickly descended the building and sped toward the site of the monster clash two or three kilometers away.

Along the way, Yang Wu and the others dodged monsters whenever possible, and when they couldn't, they immediately went all out to eliminate them, maintaining a decent pace.

Five minutes later, the six of them arrived near the lair of the Tiger Mastiff pack.

At this moment, the battle between the two Elementary Beast General Level Tiger Mastiffs and the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig was nearing its end.

The Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig lived up to its reputation as the top-ranked species among porcine monsters; its combat power was far beyond that of the Tiger Mastiffs. By now, the leader of the Tiger Mastiff pack was already covered in wounds and on the verge of death.

However, the numerous Beast Soldier Level Tiger Mastiffs dared not step forward to help under the threat of the two Advanced Beast General Level Bloodthirsty Tanks.

"Attack!"

Seeing that the Elementary Beast General Level Tiger Mastiff was about to perish, Chu Tian immediately gave the order.

Although this Tiger Mastiff was only an Elementary Beast General, it could still sell for nearly ten million Huaxia Currency, so they naturally couldn't let it go to waste.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Lu Qing's arrows and Chu Tian's throwing knives were launched simultaneously.

The target they both attacked first was clearly the same one—the already injured Elementary Beast General Level Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig.

"Roar!"

"Roar, roar!"

The first to discover the Phantom Squad were the two Advanced Beast General Level Bloodthirsty Tanks.

Upon seeing the throwing knives and sharp arrows rushing toward the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig, both Bloodthirsty Tanks let out angry roars simultaneously!

The shrill, frenzied roars instantly echoed for more than ten miles around!

However, no matter how piercing the sound, it could not stop the death of the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig.

Even in its prime, the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig couldn't have blocked the arrows and throwing knives of Chu Tian and his companion, let alone after it had just gone through a grueling battle.

Without any surprises, there were a few chi-chi sounds as the throwing knives and arrows simultaneously pierced the vital points of the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig.

The Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig died instantly, leaving its carcass to twitch on the ground.

Seeing the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig killed with their own eyes, the two Bloodthirsty Tanks went completely berserk, roaring as they charged toward Chu Tian and his companion who had launched the projectiles.

Meanwhile, in an abandoned Wumei Supermarket seven or eight kilometers to the south, a giant beast that made one's heart tremble, as if it were burning with flames, was coiled up. This giant beast was covered from head to toe in fiery red scales without a single blemish! In particular, its massive head bore three high, curved horns pointing forward.

It was an Elementary Lord Level Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig.

"ROAR!!"

Following the roar of the Bloodthirsty Tanks from the north.

The eyes of the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig, which had been dozing, instantly turned blood-red.

"AWOOO!!"

A piercing, extreme roar erupted from the mouth of the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig, instantly tearing through the sky. The sound even generated a visible shockwave that swept wildly in all directions, instantly killing several Beast Soldier Level monsters near the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig.

This Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig had gone mad!

One could feel its fury just from the sound it emitted.

BOOM!

The speed of the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig instantly soared to its limit, crashing through the north wall of the Wumei Supermarket as it charged frantically toward the north!

At the same time, the Beast General Level monsters under the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig's command saw it charging north and followed suit, racing madly toward the north behind it!

At this moment, Yang Wu and the others were surrounding the two Advanced Beast General Level Bloodthirsty Tanks.

Zhou Zheng faced one alone, while Chu Tian and the others were rapidly finishing off the other!

Less than a minute into the battle, both Bloodthirsty Tanks had fallen dead.

"Quickly harvest the monster materials and leave immediately!"

Chu Tian hurriedly gave the order, having suddenly sensed a hint of approaching danger.

But just as Yang Wu and the others were harvesting monster materials, Lu Qing, who was responsible for keeping watch, suddenly shouted out.

"Everyone, look out!"

Before Lu Qing could even finish his sentence, the group sensed a dangerous aura. Looking up, they saw a streak of fiery red light charging straight toward them!

"Oh no, it's a Lord Level monster!" Zhou Zheng shouted loudly!

"Roar!"

The Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig tore through the sky like a bolt of lightning, lunging directly at Yang Wu and the others, its palm-sized eyes filled with frenzied killing intent.

"We're in trouble!"

Seeing the crazed Lord Level Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig, and thinking back to the Elementary Beast General Level Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig they had just killed, the group immediately understood what had happened!

At this moment, the Beast General Level monsters following the Lord Level Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig also began to appear in the sight of Yang Wu and the others. There were over twenty of them; although they were still some distance away, they would arrive in the blink of an eye.

Should they flee, or should they fight?

It was a difficult choice!

In that instant, everyone's gaze converged on their captain, Chu Tian.

"Fight!"

Chu Tian suddenly let out a loud shout.

If they were to flee, the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig would be unable to stop Chu Tian, who possessed Spiritual Force.

However, given the speed of a Lord Level monster, the chances of the other members of the Phantom Squad surviving were basically zero.

Therefore, Chu Tian chose to fight.

"Leave the Lord Level monster to me, you all protect Xiao Qing!"

After Chu Tian finished speaking, the eight flying knives on his body instantly shot out, tearing the already dead Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig into shreds; he intended to use this to draw the Lord Level monster's aggro!

Sure enough, upon seeing Chu Tian tear its offspring to shreds, the Lord Level Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig became completely enraged.

The intelligence of a Lord Level monster was not much inferior to that of an ordinary human, and the pain of losing its child had driven it completely mad; it would never let this detestable human go!

Swish!

After drawing the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig's aggro, Chu Tian flew directly into mid-air, and his eight flying knives immediately surged toward the creature's vital points.

The Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig jolted its body, using its scales to withstand all of Chu Tian's attacks, and then lunged fiercely toward Chu Tian's position in the sky.
