"Still, with Long Bo's upright, uncompromising nature, it'll be hard to get him to upload the Tong Clan's spells!"

Jiang Li's head began to ache.

He'd have to take it slowly. There was no point rushing.

Luckily, he had plenty of time.

[Heaven and Earth Infinite Borrowing Method: What a pity!] [I Am Spider-Man: What? Long Bo, how old are you? Have you never seen the outside world? Without cola and fries, I'd rather die!] [Long Bo: My Tong Clan works at sunrise and returns at sunset. We live in peace. Why would we go out into the world?] [Peach Blossom Island Little Chef: You're amazing, boss!] [Congratulations! Your Diamond Glass Divine Art has sold one copy. You have received 3,000 points. Please check your account!]

Jiang Li was watching the others chat when a notification suddenly popped up.

"Oh? Long Bo bought the Diamond Glass Divine Art?"

Jiang Li smiled faintly.

It was good to know someone wanted it. He'd been worried no one would buy anything.

Devouring World.

After eating their fill, the Fire Hammer Squad continued searching for monsters.

"Did that Ironhide Ox move or something?"

Zhang Ke had been watching all afternoon without spotting it. "It couldn't even let us know. My eyes are about to swell shut from staring."

"Give me a break!"

Wei Qing shot Zhang Ke a look. "Why didn't you get its number last time?"

"Jiang Li was the smart one. He didn't bring binoculars."

"It's not that I didn't bring them. I couldn't afford to buy them."

Jiang Li shrugged at Wei Qing's teasing. "A Bloodshadow Warblade and a Blood Shadow War Sword used up every last bit of my money..."

"Hey, why didn't you buy them from me? You could've saved half!"

Chen Gu put on a deeply pained expression. "But come to think of it, you don't even use a sword, do you?"

"Haha, Chen Gu, you don't get it!"

Zhang Ke laughed. "It's called having a martial arts hero's dream..."

"I used to think about using a sword too, but I just couldn't get the hang of it, so I switched to a War Spear! Jiang Li's got the right idea. Carry a sword on your back. Even if nothing else, at least it looks cool!"

"Come on, this is the Wilderness Zone. Who are you trying to impress, the pigs?"

Wei Tie couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Of course, Jiang Li wasn't carrying a sword just to look cool.

His Tai Chi Longevity Sword Art was far stronger than the blade techniques he knew, which only included one level of Annihilation and Ninefold Thunder Blade.

"All right, enough joking around. We've got something!"

Gao Feng called out, and the others gathered around.

"Hm?"

Luo Feng looked through his binoculars. "Is that... a Silver Moon Dire Wolf?"

"That's right, it is!"

Chen Gu grew excited at once. "It's royalty among wolf monsters, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf, also known as the Hunter!"

Silver Moon Dire Wolves were exceptionally formidable. An adult had at least the strength of an Intermediate War General. They were also renowned for their cunning, treachery, bloodlust, and ferocity. With their incredible speed, even ordinary Senior War Generals were no match for them.

That was why their fur, skulls, and other parts fetched astronomical prices in human society—sometimes even more than materials from certain Lord Monsters.

"Captain, this Silver Moon Dire Wolf is an Advanced Beast General!"

Wei Tie took a deep breath and judged by its size and fur. "We might not be able to handle it..."

"Look!"

With his excellent eyesight, Luo Feng immediately noticed a wound on the Silver Moon Dire Wolf's abdomen. "It's injured!"

At that, Wei Tie and Wei Qing's eyes lit up.

"Captain!"

Chen Gu could barely contain his excitement. "It's injured. How about we take a chance?"

"Get a grip!"

"Don't let money blind you!"

Gao Feng remained calm. "Even if the Silver Moon Dire Wolf is badly injured, we still can't handle it!"

"Captain, shouldn't we at least try?"

Zhang Ke could no longer suppress his desire. "An Advanced Beast General Silver Moon Dire Wolf could sell for at least five hundred million!"

"How much?"

Before Gao Feng could answer, Jiang Li's eyes suddenly lit up. He'd been quiet until now. "Are you sure?"

!!!

"Jiang Li, we believe you didn't leave your binoculars behind on purpose!"

The Wei Brothers finally overcame their greed.

The Silver Moon Dire Wolf was worth a lot, but the risk was just as great!

Even though the one before them was badly wounded, its desperate counterattack before death could take out one or two of them in an instant.

"Captain, I want to give it a try too!"

Luo Feng was eager to act. After all the fighting over the past few days, his overall abilities had reached the level of a Junior War General.

What's more, the others didn't know that he was also a Psychic.

And a Psychic's strength surpassed that of a martial artist!

"Luo Feng, have you lost your mind too?"

Gao Feng glared at him in exasperation, then, as if on a whim, asked, "Or do you all have some kind of trump card?"

They'd brought the Fire Hammer Squad too many surprises along the way.

"I'm not confident I can kill the Silver Moon Dire Wolf, but I should be able to escape!"

Luo Feng smiled, and the shield in his hand suddenly rose into the air. It circled back beneath his feet and lifted him off the ground.

The other members of the Fire Hammer Squad stared, dumbfounded.

"Controlling objects from a distance?"

"A Psychic?"

"My god, Luo Feng, you're a Psychic too!"

Gao Feng and the others were instantly thrilled.

Psychics were incredibly rare, and every one of them could overwhelm others at the same level. If the Fire Hammer Squad gained a Psychic, they'd definitely be able to take on an Advanced Beast General!

"What a monster!"

"Luo Feng, no wonder you've improved so quickly!"

The Wei Brothers looked envious.

"Wait, Luo Feng, you're a Psychic..."

Chen Gu suddenly realized something and turned wide eyes toward Jiang Li. "Jiang Li, don't tell me you're a Psychic too?"

"That can't be!"

"Surely he's not that terrifying!"

The Wei Brothers were startled all over again.

"I'm not entirely sure myself."

Jiang Li wasn't certain whether he counted as a Psychic.

After all, it was the Primordial Spirit Cultivation Method, combined with his Inverse Heaven Comprehension and Brain Domain Width, that had given him such powerful mental strength.

"What do you mean, you're not sure?"

Gao Feng was baffled by Jiang Li, but didn't press the matter. "In that case, brothers, let's do it!"

"Once we take down this Silver Moon Dire Wolf, we can head back!"

The Silver Moon Dire Wolf was worth far more than the Ironhide Ox.

Meanwhile, one kilometer from the Fire Hammer Squad, the six members of the Fang Squad were also getting ready on the upper floors of a residential building.

"The captain was right!"

Zhang Zehu looked at the locator in his hand. "The Silver Moon Dire Wolf really did come this way!"

"We ambushed it at the Haitian Restaurant earlier. Most monsters would've fled somewhere else, but this Silver Moon Dire Wolf actually doubled back, trying to hide in the Haitian Restaurant!"

The one-eyed man spoke up. "How cunning!"

"The most dangerous place is often the safest!"

Pan Ya, captain of the Fang Squad, sneered. "Too bad it underestimated human intelligence! We'll use the locator to attack it first!"
