The body of the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was slightly smaller than that of the pig-like Bloodthirsty Tank, yet it still weighed several tons. Fortunately, Feng Qingmo's strength was not low, and with the aid of his spiritual telekinesis, he managed to carry the giant wolf away from the area without too much effort.

Returning to the building where the Cloud Center was located, he scouted the area and found that no new monsters had entered. After tossing the giant wolf aside, he used his communication watch to dial Guan Chenglong.

"Feng Qingmo, it isn't our scheduled call time yet," the call was answered quickly, and Guan Chenglong's somewhat nervous voice came through. "Has something happened?"

"Teacher Guan," Feng Qingmo chuckled, "there is just something I would like to ask your advice on..."

"Oh," Guan Chenglong relaxed, "alright, I have time now. Tell me, what is it?"

"I encountered an intermediate beast-general level 'Hunter' today..."

"What! A Hunter?? A Silver Moon Fierce Wolf?" Before Feng Qingmo could finish, he was interrupted by Guan Chenglong. Although he knew that since Feng Qingmo was able to call, he must be safe, he still couldn't help but ask, "Are you safe right now?"

Feng Qingmo felt a warmth in his heart and said softly, "Don't worry, Teacher Guan, I am very safe..."

"What about that Silver Moon Fierce Wolf? It is said that the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf is extremely fast, and it's an intermediate beast-general level at that. How did you manage to escape?"

Once assured that Feng Qingmo was safe, Guan Chenglong's questions came out like a rapid-fire volley.

"That Silver Moon Fierce Wolf has already been captured alive by me..."

"Oh, captured alive by you..." Guan Chenglong on the other end of the line repeated the words first, and then a loud 'clatter' was heard, clearly the sound of him knocking over his chair in shock as he stood up. "What did you say? Captured alive by you??"

"Yes, captured alive by me!" Guan Chenglong's voice was so loud that Feng Qingmo had to hold the communication watch a little further away.

"Are you sure it's an intermediate beast-general level Silver Moon Fierce Wolf?" Guan Chenglong was still incredibly surprised. "Quick, tell me how you did it!"

"I bought a piece of 'Gold-Severing Thread' from the mall earlier..." Feng Qingmo had no choice but to give a rough account of his battle with the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf.

"Impressive, kid!" Guan Chenglong couldn't help but praise him after hearing the story. "The Gold-Severing Thread is extremely difficult to control, but since you have spiritual telekinesis, it isn't impossible... So, why did you call me?"

"This Silver Moon Fierce Wolf weighs several tons. I wanted to ask you, Teacher Guan, is it more valuable alive, or should I just bring back its materials?"

"Need you ask? Of course, it's more valuable alive..." Guan Chenglong answered immediately. "If you only had the materials, an intermediate beast-general level would probably sell for at most 200 million Huaxia coins, but if it's alive, the value would at least double!"

"I see," Feng Qingmo said, feeling troubled. "But how am I supposed to bring it back..."

"Send me your coordinates. I will apply for a fighter jet and a transport plane to come and retrieve that Silver Moon Fierce Wolf... Don't worry, I will fight for a high price for you..."

"Thank you, Teacher Guan!" Feng Qingmo thanked him. It was just as he had guessed; a living Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was certainly worth the deployment of a transport plane, especially since this place was not very far from the military district of Kyoto Base City.

Guan Chenglong hung up the phone in a hurry to find the leaders of the Huashan Training Camp. Feng Qingmo quickly sent him his location, along with a few photos of the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, which was glaring at him from the side.

Not long after nightfall, Feng Qingmo heard the roar of fighter jets in the distant sky, and at the same time, his communication watch signaled an incoming call.

Feng Qingmo answered, "Teacher Guan, have you arrived?"

"Yes," Guan Chenglong said. "Can you hear the fighter jets? They can't land where you are. Bring the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf to this location..."

He sent a location through the communication watch, about one kilometer away from the Cloud Center where Feng Qingmo was.

"Understood, I'll be there right away."

Hanging up the phone and checking the route, Feng Qingmo hoisted the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf onto his shoulder and headed toward the location Guan Chenglong had sent.

It was a stretch of highway outside the suburbs that had been relatively well-preserved, serving perfectly as a runway for the fighter jets to take off and land.

When the transport pilot saw a human carrying a five-meter-long giant wolf walking toward them, everyone wore an expression of shock.

At the tail of the medium-sized transport plane, Guan Chenglong was standing next to a massive cage made of alloy bars. Seeing Feng Qingmo, his eyes lit up, and he flashed over to Feng Qingmo's side in two swift movements.

"Tsk tsk..." Guan Chenglong looked at the giant wolf on Feng Qingmo's shoulder and marveled, "So this is a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf. I must say, this is my first time seeing a living one..."

He led Feng Qingmo to the giant alloy cage, which was five meters wide, ten meters long, and five meters high—large enough to hold the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf.

With a "thud," Feng Qingmo threw the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf onto the ground, causing the earth to tremble slightly.

Guan Chenglong took out specialized alloy chains to lock the wolf's four legs and its muzzle, then signaled for Feng Qingmo to retract the Gold-Severing Thread.

Feng Qingmo flicked his left hand a few times, and as his spiritual telekinesis released the triangular barbs, the Gold-Severing Thread quickly retracted into the firing device.

"You use that well!" Guan Chenglong said with a hint of envy as he watched Feng Qingmo's relaxed demeanor; with the coordination of spiritual telekinesis, the Gold-Severing Thread was truly exceptionally effective.

Feng Qingmo smiled without a word.

Guan Chenglong kicked the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf into the cage and locked the door tight.

Looking at the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, which had its eyes closed as if it had accepted its fate, Guan Chenglong asked Feng Qingmo, "Are you coming back with me, or are you continuing?"

Seeing Feng Qingmo's confused expression, he explained, "Your mission was to hunt two intermediate beast-general level monsters. Now that you've captured an intermediate beast-general level Silver Moon Fierce Wolf alive, it can absolutely be considered as completing the mission."

"I see," Feng Qingmo realized. "I've only been out for a day, and I'd like to stay for a few more. I think I'll wait until the time is up before returning..."

"Alright, just make sure you stay safe," Guan Chenglong said.

"Teacher Guan, how are Zuo Mingkun and the others doing?" Feng Qingmo asked quickly as he saw him turning to leave.

"They are doing just fine," Guan Chenglong said in a low voice. "They have a senior student of Advanced War General level following them, but unless they encounter a life-or-death crisis, the senior student won't intervene..."

Feng Qingmo nodded in understanding.

Guan Chenglong placed his hands on the alloy cage, lifted it with ease, and walked directly onto the tail ramp of the transport plane. After securing the cage, he waved at Feng Qingmo. The tail ramp closed, and the plane took off immediately.

Listening to the roar of the fighter jet fading into the distance, Feng Qingmo turned and walked back toward the Cloud Center.
