"Zhang Ke, go seal off the stairwell entrance!"

Gao Feng glanced at the rooftop—same as any normal residential complex rooftop, only one access point.

After Zhang Ke closed the door, he pulled out food and water from his backpack. "Finally, a chance to catch our breath."

"Everyone brought binoculars, right?"

Gao Feng spoke up. "Look down from the rooftop and see if you can spot any trace of the Iron Armored Bull. Remember, don't expose too much of your body, or other monsters might spot you!"

"I don't have any."

Jiang Li stated flatly.

"Heh, you killed the most Tiger Mastiff Dogs just now, so I'll let you slack off a bit."

Wei Qing was now quite impressed with Jiang Li. "Brothers, time to hunt monsters!"

Luo Feng also took out binoculars from his own backpack—field tools like these were standard gear everyone brought along.

"Captain, look over here!"

Before long, Zhang Ke suddenly exclaimed, pointing toward a certain direction in the county town.

The others immediately scrambled over. Jiang Li didn't have binoculars, but he could still see hundreds of wild boars crowding the streets in the northwest corner.

There were Ironhide Boars, Unicorn Boars, Tusked Wild Boars, and more.

"That one in the middle of the street... is that a Bloodthirsty Tank?"

Gao Feng's eyes lit up.

"The second-ranked boar-type monster clan, the Bloodthirsty Tank?"

Luo Feng looked astonished. "This kind of boar monster is covered in thick scales, with incredible defense—no less than a real war tank."

"That's a big catch!"

Wei Tie rubbed his hands together. "Captain, judging by the color of its scales, it's close to D-rank—a mid-level beast!"

"Chen Gu, it's your turn!"

Gao Feng called out, then explained, "Jiang Li, Luo Feng, for a beast general surrounded like this, the best method is a long-range kill using Heavy Armor-Piercing Bullets!"

"And what we need to do is snatch the corpse!"

"A Bloodthirsty Tank like this can sell for over fifteen million at the Underground Alliance!"

While Gao Feng was explaining, Chen Gu had already finished setting up the heavy sniper rifle.

He crouched down, pressed his eye to the scope, licked his finger to gauge the wind direction, and precisely adjusted the optical sight.

The next moment.

Bang!

A deep, forceful crack rang out.

Almost instantly, the bullet tore through space and slammed into the Bloodthirsty Tank's ear.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Only then did the others hear the sonic boom.

The Bloodthirsty Tank's upright ear erupted in sparks. The immense force drove half its head into the ground, the bullet punching straight through its ear canal.

Chapter 22: The Diamond Glass Divine Art Shows Its Might

"Owww! Owww!"

The Bloodthirsty Tank's agonized roars rang out in waves. It struggled to rise, but once it steadied itself, it let out another pained howl and crashed heavily to the ground.

Instantly, the surrounding boar monsters swarmed toward it.

Like stars clustering around the moon.

"Beautiful!"

Gao Feng, binoculars in hand, watched the Bloodthirsty Tank fall and raised his hand. "Nice shot!"

"Don't praise me yet."

Chen Gu chuckled. "Right now, you all need to figure out how to get that Bloodthirsty Tank corpse away from a few hundred wild boars!"

"You provide fire support..."

Gao Feng gave his orders, then called the others to head downstairs quickly. "Brothers, let's move!"

"Luo Feng, you're weaker—you're in charge of protecting Chen Gu!"

Once downstairs, Gao Feng quickly laid out the plan. "Wei Tie, Wei Qing, you two are responsible for disrupting the beast herd. Jiang Li, you handle support."

"Remember, don't overdo it!"

"Charging into a beast herd is extremely dangerous. Once you're surrounded, even a Warrior General level is in trouble!"

Gao Feng stressed this repeatedly, his expression unusually solemn.

"Bro Jiang, Bro Zhang, both of you be careful!"

Luo Feng also held his breath at this moment. Charging into a herd of several hundred monsters was indeed extremely dangerous.

"Mm."

Jiang Li nodded slightly. "Same goes for everyone."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two streaks of black light flew from the hands of the Wei brothers, Wei Tie and Wei Qing, like black meteors arcing across the sky before landing in the distant monster herd.

Beep Beep Beep!

"BOOM!"

The two timed bombs detonated violently. The immense explosive force and shockwave threw the nearby monsters into disarray.

At the same time, the bombs kicked up a thick cloud of smoke that rapidly spread in all directions.

"Now's our chance!"

Gao Feng gave the order, kicked off with both legs, and shot forward, swinging his two Black Great Hammers.

Whoosh Whoosh!

Wei Tie and Wei Qing also erupted with full force, one hand holding a shield, the other a blade, charging swiftly toward the location of the Bloodthirsty Tank's corpse.

"Swish!"

At the same time, Jiang Li gripped his Bloodshadow Warblade and followed like a white bolt of lightning. Along the way, he swung his blade in a single arc. With two hiss hiss sounds, the heads of two Tusked Wild Boars were cleaved clean off.

Ordinary Beast Soldier monsters simply couldn't withstand a single strike from Jiang Li.

"THUD!"

At that moment, Gao Feng, swinging his heavy hammers, reached the side of the Bloodthirsty Tank. He quickly pulled out a dagger, stabbed it into the beast's ear ridge, and began dissecting the corpse.

"Jiang Li, the front is yours!"

Zhang Ke brandished his Alloy Longspear and moved to Gao Feng's left, letting out a loud shout.

Meanwhile, the Wei brothers, Wei Tie and Wei Qing, defended Gao Feng's right side. Given the Bloodthirsty Tank's defensive power, even Gao Feng, a mid-level War General, would need half a minute to harvest its materials.

"ROAR!"

"ROAR!"

"ROAR!"

In the blink of an eye, the other monsters spotted Gao Feng and the others. One by one, they roared and charged, each one like a car hurtling at over a hundred kilometers per hour.

Dozens of them converging in a pincer attack—even a high-level War General would have to avoid their momentum.

"No good! Too many!"

Wei Qing cut down an Ironhide Boar that pounced at him, then glanced ahead. His expression shifted sharply. "Captain, how much longer?!"

"Fifteen seconds!"

"Jiang Li!"

Zhang Ke, now wielding his longspear and having beaten back three monsters in succession, saw the tidal wave of monsters bearing down from straight ahead and shouted urgently, "Fall back now!"

"Ten seconds!"

Gao Feng's face was flushed red as he strained with all his might to cut through the Bloodthirsty Tank's hide.

"Chen Gu, covering fire!"

Wei Tie roared. From behind, Chen Gu, who had set up a high-grade thermal weapon, grinned savagely. The rat-a-tat-tat sound followed as streaks of light poured furiously from the gun barrel.

This kind of automatic fire had little effect on Beast General-level monsters.

But it was still a serious threat to Beast Soldier-level ones.

After the covering fire, nearly a third of the boars charging at the front had fallen.

"Jiang Li!"

Gao Feng was down to his last cut on the dissection. He shouted, "Five seconds!"

"Got it!"

Of everyone present, aside from Gao Feng, Jiang Li was the only one whose strength reached the mid-level War General tier.

Jiang Li naturally understood what Gao Feng meant—buy him those five seconds!

"Die!"

Jiang Li's eyes sharpened, and a layer of flowing light flickered across his body.

It was as if he had been plated with crystal.
