Encountering Danger

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

As the most experienced veteran in the Phantom Squad, Zhou Zheng recognized the strength of the Beast General-level monsters at a glance. "The Tiger Mastiff and the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig fighting each other are both Elementary Beast General Level. The other two Bloodthirsty Tanks are Advanced Beast General Level!"

"Captain, this is a rare opportunity! Should we take them on?" Zheng Tao asked quickly.

If anyone in the Phantom Squad was desperate to make money, it was Zheng Tao.

They had been in City 023 for half a month and had only managed to hunt five Advanced Beast General-level monsters. Now they had a chance to take on two at once. Their luck was incredible.

Even better, the two Beast General-level monsters didn't have many Beast Soldier-level monsters under their command. Even the several hundred Tiger Mastiffs might be enemies of the Bloodthirsty Tanks.

"Should we take them on?"

Everyone turned to look at their captain, Chu Tian.

"This is a rare opportunity. We're doing it!" Chu Tian said through gritted teeth. "As soon as the fight's over, we'll head back the way we came!"

Although Chu Tian thought the battle was a little too close to a Lord-level Monster's lair, in the end, he still chose to take the chance.

An opportunity like this was simply too rare.

Once he'd made up his mind, Chu Tian didn't waste any more time. "Move out!"

At Chu Tian's command, all six of them hurried downstairs and raced toward the monsters fighting two or three kilometers away.

Along the way, Yang Wu and the others avoided any monsters they could. When they couldn't, they immediately fought with all their strength to wipe them out. They still made good time.

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

By then, the battle between the Elementary Beast General-level Tiger Mastiff and the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig was almost over.

The Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig lived up to its reputation as the strongest monster species among the pig-like monsters. Its combat strength far surpassed that of the Tiger Mastiff. The Tiger Mastiff pack's leader was already covered in wounds and on the verge of death.

Yet with the two Advanced Beast General-level Bloodthirsty Tanks threatening them, the many Beast Soldier-level Tiger Mastiffs didn't dare go forward to help at all.

"Attack!"

Seeing that the Elementary Beast General-level Tiger Mastiff was about to die, Chu Tian quickly gave the order.

Although it was only an Elementary Beast General, the Tiger Mastiff could still fetch nearly ten million Huaxia Currency. They couldn't just let it go to waste.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Lu Qing's arrows and Chu Tian's throwing knives flew out at the same time.

The first targets they attacked were clearly the same: the already-wounded Elementary Beast General-level Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig.

"Roar!"

"Roar! Roar!"

The first to notice the Phantom Squad were the two Advanced Beast General-level Bloodthirsty Tanks.

When they saw the throwing knives and arrows streaking toward the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig, both Bloodthirsty Tanks let out furious roars!

Their shrill, frenzied cries rang out for more than ten miles in every direction!

But no matter how piercing the sound, it couldn't stop the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig from dying.

Even at full strength, the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig wouldn't have been able to stop Chu Tian and Lu Qing's attacks, let alone after its grueling battle.

There were no surprises. With a few sharp swishes, the knives and arrows pierced the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig's vital points.

The Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig died instantly, its body falling to the ground and twitching.

Seeing the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig killed with their own eyes drove the two Bloodthirsty Tanks completely berserk. They roared and charged straight at Chu Tian and Lu Qing, who had launched the knives and arrows.

Meanwhile, seven or eight kilometers to the south, a massive beast crouched inside an abandoned Wumei Supermarket. It looked as if flames were burning across its body, and its presence was terrifying. Its entire body was covered in bright-red scales without a single blemish. Most striking of all, three long, curved horns jutted forward from its enormous head.

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

"Roar!!"

The roar of a Bloodthirsty Tank came from the north.

The Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig had been dozing, but its eyes instantly turned blood-red.

"Awwooo!!"

An ear-splitting roar burst from its mouth, tearing through the sky. The sound even generated a shock wave visible to the naked eye, sweeping wildly in all directions. Several Beast Soldier-level monsters near the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig were instantly killed by the blast.

The Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig had gone berserk!

Its roar alone made its fury unmistakable.

Boom!

The Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig's speed surged to its limit. It smashed straight through the north wall of the Wumei Supermarket and charged wildly north.

The Beast General-level monsters under its command saw it heading north and followed close behind, stampeding in the same direction!

At that moment, Yang Wu and the others were surrounding the two Advanced Beast General-level Bloodthirsty Tanks.

Zhou Zheng was facing one on his own, while Chu Tian and the others quickly took down the other!

Less than a minute after the battle began, both Bloodthirsty Tanks were dead.

"Collect the monster materials quickly. We're leaving at once!"

Chu Tian gave the order. He had suddenly sensed danger drawing near.

But as Yang Wu and the others gathered the monster materials, Lu Qing, who was keeping watch, suddenly shouted.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Before Lu Qing could finish, they all sensed a dangerous presence. They looked up and saw a streak of fiery light racing toward them!

"Oh no, it's a Lord-level Monster!" Zhou Zheng shouted.

"Roar!"

The Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig tore through the sky like a bolt of lightning and pounced straight at Yang Wu and the others. Its tiny, palm-sized eyes were filled with murderous fury.

"This is bad!"

Seeing the enraged Lord-level Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig, and remembering the Elementary Beast General-level one they'd just killed, the group immediately understood what had happened!

The Beast General-level monsters that had followed the Lord-level Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig were also beginning to appear in Yang Wu and the others' line of sight. There were more than twenty of them. They were still some distance away, but would arrive in no time.

Should they run or fight?

It was a difficult choice!

In that instant, everyone turned to their captain, Chu Tian!

"Fight!"

Chu Tian suddenly shouted.

If they ran, the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig couldn't stop Chu Tian, who possessed Spiritual Force.

But with a Lord-level Monster's speed, the rest of the Phantom Squad would have virtually no chance of surviving.

So Chu Tian chose to fight.

"I'll handle the Lord-level Monster. Protect Xiao Qing!"

As soon as Chu Tian finished speaking, the eight throwing knives around him shot out, shredding the already-dead Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig to pieces. He was using it to draw the Lord-level Monster's hatred!

Sure enough, when the Lord-level Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig saw Chu Tian tear its child to pieces, it flew into a rage.

The intelligence of a Lord-level Monster was not much inferior to that of an ordinary human. The pain of losing its child had driven it completely mad. It would never spare the detestable human in front of it!

Whoosh!

After drawing the Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig's hatred, Chu Tian flew straight into the air. His eight throwing knives immediately shot toward the monster's vital points.

The Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig twisted its body sharply, using its scales to withstand all of Chu Tian's attacks. Then it lunged toward Chu Tian in the sky.
