Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was a little smaller than the piglike Bloodthirsty Tank, but it still weighed several tons. Fortunately, Feng Qingmo was strong, and with the help of his Spiritual Force, carrying the giant wolf away wasn't too much trouble.
When he returned to the building where Cloud Center was located, he checked around and found that no new monsters had entered. He tossed the giant wolf aside and used his Communication Watch to call Guan Chenglong.
"Feng Qingmo, it's not time for our scheduled call yet." Guan Chenglong answered quickly, his voice somewhat tense. "Did something happen?"
"Teacher Guan," Feng Qingmo said with a light laugh, "there's something I'd like to ask you about..."
"Oh." Guan Chenglong relaxed. "All right, I have time now. What is it?"
"Today, I encountered an Intermediate Beast General Level Hunter..."
"What! A Hunter? A Silver Moon Fierce Wolf?" Guan Chenglong interrupted before Feng Qingmo could finish. Although he knew Feng Qingmo must be all right if he could call, he couldn't help asking, "Are you safe?"
Feng Qingmo felt warmth in his heart. "Don't worry, Teacher Guan. I'm perfectly safe..."
"What about the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf? I heard they're incredibly fast, and this one was an Intermediate Beast General. How did you get away?"
Once Guan Chenglong had confirmed Feng Qingmo was safe, his questions came one after another.
"I've already captured the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf alive..."
"Oh, you captured it alive..." Guan Chenglong repeated. Then came a loud crash from the other end of the phone. Apparently, he had stood up in shock and knocked over his chair. "What did you say? You captured it alive?"
"That's right. I captured it alive!" Guan Chenglong's voice was so loud that Feng Qingmo had to move the Communication Watch away from his ear.
"Are you sure it was an Intermediate Beast General Level Silver Moon Fierce Wolf?" Guan Chenglong was still astonished. "Quick, tell me how you did it!"
"I bought a Gold-Severing Thread from the Mall earlier..." Feng Qingmo had no choice but to briefly recount his fight with the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf.
"Impressive, kid!" Guan Chenglong praised him when he finished. "Gold-Severing Thread is extremely difficult to control, but with your Spiritual Force, it's not impossible... So, what did you want to ask me?"
"The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf weighs several tons. I wanted to ask, Teacher Guan: is it worth more alive, or should I just bring back its materials?"
"Of course it's worth more alive," Guan Chenglong replied immediately. "If you only bring back the materials, an Intermediate Beast General Level one would probably sell for at most 200 million Huaxia Currency. But alive, it would be worth at least twice as much!"
"I see." Feng Qingmo hesitated. "But how am I supposed to bring it back...?"
"Send me your location. I'll apply to dispatch a fighter jet and a transport plane to bring the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf back... Don't worry, I'll try to get you a good price..."
"Thank you, Teacher Guan!" Feng Qingmo thanked him. It was about what he had expected: a live Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was certainly worth dispatching a transport plane for. Besides, the military base in Kyoto Base City wasn't very far from here.
Guan Chenglong hurriedly hung up and went to find the Huashan Training Camp's leadership. Feng Qingmo quickly sent him his location, along with a few photos of the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf glaring at him from nearby.
Not long after nightfall, Feng Qingmo heard the roar of a fighter jet in the distance. At the same time, his Communication Watch alerted him to an incoming call.
Feng Qingmo answered. "Teacher Guan, have you arrived?"
"Yes," Guan Chenglong replied. "You heard the jet, right? It can't land where you are, so bring the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf to this location..."
He sent a location through the Communication Watch. It was about a kilometer from Cloud Center.
"All right. I'll be there shortly."
After hanging up and checking the route, Feng Qingmo hoisted the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf onto his shoulders and headed toward the location Guan Chenglong had sent.
It was a relatively well-preserved stretch of highway outside the suburbs, perfect for a fighter jet to take off and land.
When the fighter jet's crew saw a human carrying a five-meter-long giant wolf toward them, shock showed on every face.
Guan Chenglong stood beside a huge cage made of alloy bars at the rear of the medium-sized transport plane. When he saw Feng Qingmo, his eyes lit up, and he crossed the distance in two quick strides.
"Tsk, tsk..." Guan Chenglong stared at the giant wolf on Feng Qingmo's shoulder, marveling. "So this is a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf. I've never seen one alive before..."
He led Feng Qingmo over to the enormous alloy cage. It was five meters wide, ten meters long, and five meters tall—more than big enough to hold the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf.
With a thud, Feng Qingmo threw the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf off his shoulder and onto the ground, making the earth tremble.
Guan Chenglong took out a specially made alloy chain and bound all four of the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's legs and its jaws. Then he signaled for Feng Qingmo to retract the Gold-Severing Thread.
Feng Qingmo flicked his left hand a few times. His Spiritual Force loosened the barbed tri-pronged hook, and the Gold-Severing Thread swiftly retracted into its launcher.
"Not bad!" Guan Chenglong said, watching how easily he handled it with a hint of envy. With Spiritual Force to control it, the Gold-Severing Thread was exceptionally useful.
Feng Qingmo just smiled without replying.
Guan Chenglong kicked the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf into the cage and locked the door.
Looking at the wolf with its eyes shut, as if resigned to its fate, Guan Chenglong asked Feng Qingmo, "Are you coming back with me, or are you staying?"
Seeing Feng Qingmo's confusion, he explained, "Your mission is to hunt two Intermediate Beast General Level monsters. Since you captured an Intermediate Beast General Level Silver Moon Fierce Wolf alive, that counts as completing the mission."
"I see." Feng Qingmo understood. "I've only been out for a day, and I want to stay a few more. I'll return when the time is up..."
"All right. Be careful," Guan Chenglong said.
"Teacher Guan, how are Zuo Mingkun and the others?" Feng Qingmo asked quickly as Guan Chenglong turned to leave.
"They're doing fine," Guan Chenglong said quietly. "An older student at the Advanced General Level is with them. But unless they're in mortal danger, he won't step in..."
Feng Qingmo nodded, understanding.
Guan Chenglong set both hands on the alloy cage and lifted it with ease. He carried it straight into the transport plane's rear compartment and secured it. Then he waved to Feng Qingmo. The rear compartment closed, and the plane took off at once.
Listening to the fighter jet's roar fade into the distance, Feng Qingmo turned and headed back toward Cloud Center.
