Hunt Three

Elsewhere, just before the teaching building collapsed, Guan Yong had also created an opportunity for Captain Yan Ying.

An alloy arrow instantly buried itself in the eye of that Advanced Beast General, sending blood spraying everywhere!

Yet this advanced pig-type Beast General was remarkably tenacious. An arrow over a meter long had sunk completely into its skull, but it still did not die immediately.

Instead, it let out a furious roar and charged at Guan Yong like a madman.

"Pfft!" Another soft sound rang out as a bloody hole opened in the pig-type monster's head. Zheng Ke, who had been lying in wait atop a tall building, had made his move, hitting it with a sniper rifle bullet.

However, the monster did not slow down in the slightest. It still rushed madly toward Guan Yong. In its mind, it was already doomed to die, so it had to kill at least one hateful human before the end.

Of course, this was nothing to Guan Yong. It was not his first time facing a monster's desperate final counterattack, and he had plenty of experience dealing with them.

It was simple—just lead the pig in circles. Its head had already been pierced through; it was merely struggling one last time. Once its vitality ran out, it would die.

With a loud clang as a heavy body hit the ground, the life of that powerful Advanced Beast General came to an end.

"Cough, cough! Uncle Yan, Uncle Guan, that was amazing!" Cao Bing came through the dust-covered ruins, filthy and disheveled. He arrived just in time to see the pig-type Advanced Beast General collapse.

"Little Cao, are you all right?"

With the teaching building's collapse and everyone's slaughter, there were no longer many monsters left in the school.

The dead were dead, and the survivors had fled.

Thus, Song Shengnan and Xie Hongxin soon arrived.

"Sister Song, Uncle Xie, don't worry. I'm not hurt." Cao Bing waved his hand to show that he was fine.

"That's good! That was far too dangerous just now!" Only after Cao Bing fully emerged from the ruins and entered their sight did Song Shengnan and the others carefully examine him and finally relax.

"All right, dissect the monster corpses as quickly as possible. Old Xie, dig those two Bloodthirsty Tanks out of the ruins!" Captain Yan Ying issued another order through the earpiece. He was still some distance away from them.

"Little Zheng, Old Fang, keep watching. Don't miss anything else."

"Yes, Captain! My mistake!" Zheng Ke's voice in the earpiece sounded ashamed.

If he had not failed to spot that Advanced Beast General earlier, Cao Bing would not have been put in danger.

"When we divide the profits after returning, Zheng Ke's share will be reduced by two percent as compensation for Cao Bing and Guan Yong. The same applies to me for my misjudgment!" Yan Ying said calmly.

"Uncle Yan, there's no need!" Cao Bing hurriedly said.

"I am the captain. This is my decision. Don't think this is merely compensation for you. Remember this: in the wilderness, one simple mistake can destroy an entire squad. My punishment is not just compensation for you; it is also a reminder to ourselves that this kind of problem must never happen again!" Yan Ying's tone was firm and beyond dispute.

Cao Bing wanted to say more after hearing that, but he did not know how to persuade him.

Before Cao Bing could speak, Guan Yong had already come over and patted him on the shoulder. "Little Cao, the captain's decision is right. You have to remember that mistakes are absolutely intolerable in the wilderness. Any tiny mistake can lead to irreparable consequences.

This does not only apply to us; it applies to you as well. After all, you are also a member of the Divine Arrow Squad. Therefore, we demand zero mistakes from you too."

"All right, Uncle Yan, Uncle Guan. I understand!" Cao Bing nodded heavily.

Uncle Yan and the others were right. The wilderness allowed no mistakes. A mistake meant death—it meant the annihilation of the whole squad!

At the same time, Guan Yong, standing behind Cao Bing, secretly sighed.

The captain had not been like this before. Back then, he loved to smile. Everyone laughed, joked, and chatted together.

Until several years ago—one mistake, one burst of anger, one loss of reason! One terrible price! That was what made the captain who he was now!

Of course, Guan Yong had no time for further reflection. They had caused quite a commotion just now. If they did not move quickly, other monsters would likely arrive before long.

Many monsters had died here, and the smell of blood was extremely strong. Therefore, Cao Bing and the others simply abandoned all low- and mid-level Beast Soldiers, only dissecting the Advanced Beast Soldiers and several Beast General Level monsters to collect useful materials.

"Haha! Although it was dangerous this time, the gains are pretty good! Everyone can get nearly a hundred million!" Xie Hongxin finally dug the corpses of the two Bloodthirsty Tanks out of the ruins and laughed heartily.

And he was right. With three Beast General Level corpses plus all the Advanced Beast Soldiers on the ground, it came to roughly a hundred million per person.

The group moved quickly. In fifteen minutes, they had finished dissecting all the corpses and swiftly departed. They did not forget to scatter special scented powder on the ground to prevent tracking.

"Continue the hunt and build coordination. Target: Junior and Intermediate Beast Generals." Yan Ying issued the order.

"Old Fang, Zheng Ke, find targets."

"Yes, Captain."

"Captain, a group of Tiger Cats is approaching from the street to the front left. The leader is a Two-Tailed Tiger Cat, roughly assessed as a Junior Beast General."

No sooner had Zheng Ke finished speaking than Fang Ye's voice came through the earpiece.

"Prepare for battle," Yan Ying said.

"Captain, this is not far from our previous location," Song Shengnan reminded him.

"I know. That is why we need to end this quickly. Old Guan, take out the Two-Tailed Tiger Cat at the fastest possible speed. Cao Bing, move around and annihilate the outer Tiger Cats. Zheng Ke, provide sniper cover. Within five minutes, we must cripple this Tiger Cat group." Yan Ying spoke coldly.

"Captain, Little Cao will be moving around alone?" Guan Yong frowned and asked quietly.

"Once he joined the squad, he had to fulfill his role. His task is to move around and create opportunities for you," Yan Ying replied coldly.

"All right. Little Cao, let's go." Guan Yong did not question him further. After greeting Cao Bing, he left first. Cao Bing nodded, glanced at Yan Ying, then said nothing as he vanished from where he stood.

Tiger Cats were much faster than pig-type monsters, and they were highly adept at using buildings to leap and maneuver rapidly. Cao Bing might not be able to jump the distance between two buildings, but for Tiger Cats, it was easy.

Therefore, hunting them was far more difficult than killing pigs.

Cao Bing often had to push his speed to the limit just to kill an Advanced Beast Soldier. After killing one, he had to flee at once. After all, he was not a true Advanced Warrior; only his speed met the standard.

Of course, Junior and Intermediate ones were much easier to deal with. No matter how many came, he was not afraid.

For three minutes of maneuvering, Cao Bing did not dare let his guard down in the slightest. Yet just as he prepared to hunt one of the Advanced Beast Soldiers, Guan Yong's voice came through the earpiece: "Mission accomplished."

"That fast?!" Cao Bing's heart shook. He had only dared to hunt isolated Tiger Cats on the outskirts, yet Guan Yong had killed their leader within three minutes amid the rapidly moving Tiger Cat pack without letting the others notice.

That level of assassination skill was truly terrifying.
