"Awooo!"
A sudden howl of anger and defiance rose from somewhere below, startling every resting member of the Fire Hammer Squad awake beneath the starry sky.
"That was a wolf!" Gao Feng said gravely.
Wolf monsters were rare. Everyone picked up high-powered binoculars equipped with night vision and looked down.
They soon spotted an enormous wolf on a distant street. It stood nearly three meters tall and measured five or six meters long. Its fur was gray all over, with only a faint patch of white on its forehead.
"It's a hunter-a Silver Moon Dire Wolf!" Chen Gu exclaimed beside them. "Royalty among wolf monsters-a Silver Moon Dire Wolf! And it's an advanced beast general!"
"But judging by its condition, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf must be injured. What a chance! If we can kill it, we'll make a fortune," Wei Tie said excitedly.
"Even a weakened giant is still a giant. That Silver Moon Dire Wolf is an advanced beast general, after all, and its strength is close to lord level. We can't be sure we can kill it," Gao Feng analyzed seriously.
"Let me go. An injured Silver Moon Dire Wolf is worth a lot of money. Now that we've found it, we shouldn't let it slip away. Luo Feng, are you coming?" Luo Yuan asked, looking at Luo Feng.
"Senior Brother Luo Yuan, are you confident?" Luo Feng asked.
"Have you forgotten we're Psychic Masters? We can fly. Even if we can't beat it, escaping won't be a problem." Luo Yuan rolled his eyes.
"Right, true enough." Luo Feng smiled.
"All right, then be careful. Get it if you can, but don't force yourselves if you can't. Safety first," Gao Feng reminded them.
Luo Yuan and Luo Feng walked to the edge of the rooftop and attached their Spiritual Force to their Alloy Combat Boots. With a few bounds, they floated down to the ground and hurried toward the Silver Moon Dire Wolf.
The two approached the Silver Moon Dire Wolf, and it noticed them as well. Blood-red light flickered in the eyes of the nearly three-meter-tall wolf. At the same time, its fur seemed to fill with a strange energy, changing instantly from gray to silvery white! The Silver Moon Dire Wolf became dazzlingly bright, and even the tuft of white fur on its forehead turned blood-red!
The Silver Moon Dire Wolf had entered its combat state.
Whoosh! The Silver Moon Dire Wolf became a streak of silver light and appeared before them in the blink of an eye!
"The speed of sound!"
It was already too late to dodge. Luo Yuan and Luo Feng leaped straight into the air. Luo Yuan rose to hover fifty meters above the ground, his powerful Spiritual Force attached to his Alloy Combat Boots. The boots seemed to stand on a transparent floor, sending several invisible ripples through the air.
The Silver Moon Dire Wolf leaped almost simultaneously, but it could only reach twenty or thirty meters high. It could not even touch the hem of Luo Yuan's clothes.
"Use your throwing knives to shred it!" Luo Yuan told Luo Feng, who nodded.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Luo Yuan's six Grade 9 Flying Daggers shot straight toward the Silver Moon Dire Wolf's vital points, while Luo Feng's throwing knives targeted its wounded abdomen.
Grade 9 Flying Daggers were deadly weapons capable of dealing with lord-level monsters. Assailed by the blades, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf could not fend them off in time. They quickly pierced the hunter's body and shredded its internal organs into pulp. With all its organs destroyed, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf let out one final howl of anger and defiance before falling from the air!
Thud!
The Silver Moon Dire Wolf's enormous corpse crashed down, bringing a crumbling wall down with it.
Luo Yuan and Luo Feng landed on the ground and smiled at the Silver Moon Dire Wolf's corpse.
"Let's quickly butcher the Silver Moon Dire Wolf's corpse, before another squad tries to steal it," Luo Yuan said as he and Luo Feng began the work.
Once they finished, Luo Yuan and Luo Feng set out their shields and used Shield Flight to return to the rooftop where the Fire Hammer Squad was waiting.
"Captain, Brother Chen," Luo Feng called with a smile. Luo Yuan nodded to everyone as well.
"No injuries. Good. How did it go? Did you kill that Silver Moon Dire Wolf?" Gao Feng walked over and asked.
Luo Yuan opened his backpack. The others gathered around, and the sight of the Silver Moon Dire Wolf materials filled them with delighted surprise.
Early the next morning, the Fire Hammer Squad quietly left County 0201 and traveled along the dilapidated highway toward the Supply Base.
Once they entered the base, everyone visibly relaxed.
"Captain, the Tiger Tooth Squad is over there!" Chen Gu suddenly roared.
Every member of the Fire Hammer Squad immediately turned to look. They spotted three men in the shade of a large tree nearby, and anger spread across all their faces.
In fact, the moment Zhang Zehu and his two companions saw the seven members of the Fire Hammer Squad, their hearts lurched. They quickly turned to leave.
"Stop! You think you can run?" Gao Feng roared.
"Gao Feng, what are you shouting for?" A one-eyed middle-aged man among the three Tiger Tooth Squad members turned and shouted angrily. "Where do you think you are? This is a military district-the Warrior Supply Base! Is this a place for you to throw your weight around?"
"Pick your place before you start acting wild," the bald man beside him sneered.
Luo Yuan stepped forward and stared coldly at Zhang Zehu, frightening the burly man into retreating a few steps. He had personally witnessed Luo Yuan kill a Beast General Rank two-tailed Tiger Cat with a single slash. That swordsmanship could kill him in one strike.
"You're Zhang Zehu, right? I know you have a grudge against Luo Feng. But why did your Tiger Tooth Squad take a shot at me from hiding in County 0201?" Luo Yuan demanded sharply.
"Well, I..." Zhang Zehu stammered, not daring to answer.
"You're Luo Yuan, right? A newcomer with war general-level strength, and so young, too. We simply thought you posed the greater threat," the one-eyed middle-aged man said. As a war general-level warrior himself, he thought his strength was about equal to Luo Yuan's, so he was not particularly afraid of him.
"Heh. Very good. Your Tiger Tooth Squad had better watch yourselves in the Wilderness Zone from now on. One of these days, there might not even be a body left," Luo Yuan said with a cold laugh.
The Fire Hammer Squad members also gave the Tiger Tooth Squad gleeful looks. Having offended Luo Yuan, those men were not far from death.
Villa A9 in the Supply Base became the Fire Hammer Squad's temporary resting place.
"We made quite a haul this time. Let's first take care of the monster materials we collected on this hunt," Gao Feng said.
"You handle it. I trust you. I want to take a shower and get some proper rest." Luo Yuan emptied the monster materials from his backpack, piling them into a small mountain on the table. Everyone's eyes lit up at the sight. Almost all the materials Luo Yuan had collected came from Beast General Rank monsters. Beast Soldier Rank materials were beneath his notice and only took up space.
After saying a few words to the others, Luo Yuan took a thorough shower, washing away the bloody smell of monsters. He also sent his Combat Suit to a specialist facility for cleaning and repairs.
Once in his bedroom, Luo Yuan sat cross-legged. With a thought, he opened his status panel.
