"Well done!"

Captain Gao Feng praised them, then had the team continue onward.

Before long, they all reached the rooftop terrace.

During the climb, Luo Xia and the others encountered a total of three monsters.

None of the three monsters were particularly high-level, only F-class. Luo Xia and the others worked together seamlessly and dealt with them without any real danger.

"Shut the stairwell door. Seal it tight!"

After stepping onto the rooftop, Gao Feng immediately gave the order for Luo Xia and Luo Feng to close the stairwell door.

This was to prevent monsters from coming up from below.

"Whew, we can finally relax."

Ever since entering the County Town that morning, their nerves had been taut because monsters were everywhere.

Only now, after reaching the relatively safe rooftop, could Luo Xia and the others finally breathe easier.

Zhang Ke found a corner and sat down, taking out some high-energy food and water from his backpack to replenish his energy. Luo Xia and the others also took out food and began eating.

Captain Gao Feng, however, took out his handheld device and kept swiping across the screen.

Only after quite a while did he look up at Luo Xia and the others and say,

"You all brought binoculars, right?"

"Everyone, take out your binoculars and look down from the rooftop. See if you can find any General-level Beasts!"

"Remember, don't expose too much of yourselves over the edge. If the monsters below spot you, it'll cause a bit of trouble!"

That final warning was naturally directed at the rookies, Luo Xia and Luo Feng.

The Two Brothers nodded. While chewing the chocolate in their mouths, they took out the binoculars they had brought from their backpacks, walked to the rooftop's edge, and looked down below.

Through the binoculars, monsters could be seen moving about everywhere.

On one street alone, over a hundred monsters were shambling around.

Even Warrior-General-level Warriors would have little chance of surviving if they were trapped under siege by more than a hundred monsters.

Before long, the Fire Hammer Squad members began reporting what they had found—

"Captain, they're all Beast Soldier-level monsters!"

"I don't see any General-level Beasts over here either."

"None on my side, either."

Other than Chen Gu, Luo Xia, the others, and Captain Gao Feng were all searching the rooftop for traces of General-level Beasts.

As the squad's Musketeer and Sniper, Chen Gu had to conserve enough energy so that when Luo Xia and the others found a General-level Beast, he could snipe and kill it!

So while Luo Xia and the others searched, Chen Gu rested at the side and focused his mind.

"Look carefully. Don't miss anything," Gao Feng said.

Searching for General-level Beasts to hunt from a rooftop like this was one of the easiest methods.

It was also ten or even a hundred times faster than searching for General-level Beasts on the streets, and far safer.

The six of them each took responsibility for one direction, carefully examining every corner of the streets below.

And just as they were searching for General-level Beasts

On a Dilapidated highway thirty kilometers outside the County Town, an Elite six-person warrior squad was swiftly racing toward the County Town.

On the left breast of each of their Combat Suits was a Tiger emblem.

If Gao Feng had been here, he would have recognized these six people as the renowned Tiger Fang Squad of Jiangnan Base City.

This squad had a total of Four Generals and Two Advanced Warriors!

They were immensely powerful!

"Old Han, have you found that old fellow's location?"

A Burly Man in the squad asked quietly. He was Zhang Zehu, an Advanced Warrior in the Tiger Fang Squad.

He was also the biological uncle of Zhang Haobai, whom Luo Feng knew.

Though Zhang Zehu was currently an Advanced Warrior, his Physical Quality was already extremely close to that of an Elementary Warrior-General.

Another man holding an Instrument like a compass said,

"Based on the signal from the Positioning flare I left on the Silver Moon Direwolf, that old fellow should be about forty li away from us."

He looked up toward the County Town district at the end of the highway. "If I'm not mistaken, it should be inside County Town No. 0201 right now!"

"As long as we can confirm its location, that's enough!"

"If we can kill the Silver Moon Direwolf, we Brothers will strike it rich!"

The other members of the Tiger Fang Squad all smiled when they heard this.

Every Silver Moon Direwolf was something that could be sold for an astronomical price!

The Captain of the Tiger Fang Squad was a dark-skinned, lean, short man. He gave a cold laugh and said,

"Based on our previous encounters, the Silver Moon Direwolf we've been pursuing should be an Advanced Beast General-level monster! It may even be close to Lord-level!"

"Fortunately, that Silver Moon Direwolf was already seriously injured before fighting us. Otherwise, we would have been finished last time!"

At this point, his cold smile deepened as he continued,

"But this time, we've all recovered from our injuries, while it was seriously wounded again during its fight with us! We absolutely cannot let it escape again! We must seize this opportunity to hunt down this greatly weakened Silver Moon Direwolf in one stroke!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The Tiger Fang Squad members were brimming with fighting spirit!

Killing a Silver Moon Direwolf could match the gains they normally earned through one or two years of hard work!

Moreover, a monster at the Silver Moon Direwolf's level held extraordinary significance. Hunting one would greatly boost their squad's reputation!

Azure Sky Apartments.

On the rooftop terrace, Zhang Ke suddenly shouted, "Captain, look over here!"

Whoosh—!

The others hurried to Zhang Ke's side and looked in the direction he was pointing.

On the street at the northwest corner, Unicorn Boars and Iron-Fur Boars had appeared one after another. A rough count put their numbers at no fewer than a hundred.

"Is that... a Bloodthirsty Tank?"

Luo Xia had a Monster Encyclopedia in his memory. When a Blood-red Pig Monster appeared in his binoculars, he immediately identified it.

This monster ranked second among Pig Monsters. Its entire body was covered in thick scales, giving it astonishing defense.

"It's a Bloodthirsty Tank!"

"A big catch!"

"Captain, judging from the color of its scales, it should be a Low-level General-level Beast, though it's somewhat close to an Intermediate Beast General."

The others also came to their senses and began discussing it.

Captain Gao Feng smiled. "Bloodthirsty Tanks are worth quite a lot. Although it's only a Low-level General-level Beast, its value should rival that of some Intermediate Beast General-level monsters."

He looked at Chen Gu beside him. "It's yours."

Chen Gu had been drawn over by Zhang Ke's shout just now. At this moment, he stroked his Sniper rifle and muttered,

"This Bloodthirsty Tank's defense is incredible. Ordinary Armor-Piercing Bullets can't penetrate its scales... Looks like I'll have to use one of my treasures."

As he spoke, Chen Gu immediately went to the iron case he had carried on his back, took out three bullets with Blood-red shells, and loaded them into his Sniper rifle.

Before long, he lay prone where Zhang Ke had been, set up the silver-gray Heavy Sniper Rifle, and coldly aimed through the scope at the Bloodthirsty Tank!
