"Captain, the person I recommended isn't bad, right?" Chen Gu still hadn't realized the problem.
Gao Feng glanced at Jiang Li, who was putting away his knife, and rubbed his temples. "Not bad, but I feel like we're holding Jiang Li back..."
!!!
Soon.
Luo Feng had also taken down a Sawtooth Dog.
"Captain."
Luo Feng ran over from a distance, "This Sawtooth..."
"You killed it, so it's naturally yours!"
Gao Feng smiled and said, "Jiang Li, the Ironhide Boar is most valuable for its iron hide, but you've damaged it..."
"Ah? Did I use too much force?"
"But how much is this thing worth?"
Jiang Li asked curiously.
"Selling the iron hide to the martial arts school should be worth one million Hanxia Currency, and you can also get a few hundred Contribution Points. If you sell it to the Underground Alliance, it should be worth two million."
Zhang Ke said with a smile, "The Sawtooth Dog's teeth are much cheaper, probably only worth about ten thousand."
The materials from War General monsters are the most valuable.
And the essential materials from 'Lord monsters' are even more expensive.
As for Beast Soldiers, they are quite cheap.
After all, monsters at the Beast Soldier level can be dealt with using firearms. With good firearms, even non-martial artists can hunt them.
Just as Jiang Li and his group were heading to the next supply station.
Over at the Jiangnan Association.
"Envoy!"
"Wu Tong is online, you can connect with him at any time."
The chairman of the Jiangnan Association, Zhou Zhengyong, was meeting with a special envoy from headquarters: War God Yang Hui.
Yang Hui nodded and activated the holographic projector.
Soon.
A three-dimensional holographic projection linked up, and Wu Tong, who was in Yangzhou City, appeared directly in the projection room in a virtual form, almost indistinguishable from a real person except for a slight halo.
"Wu Tong greets the chairman and the envoy!"
Wu Tong bowed slightly.
"You've probably been told by Iron Hand why I'm calling you!"
Yang Hui got straight to the point, instructing, "Tell me everything about that Jiang Li, every single detail."
"Yes!"
Wu Tong nodded respectfully, then recounted everything about Jiang Li.
On the other side.
After several battles, the Firehammer Squad quietly entered the vicinity of County 0201.
"Jiang Li, Luo Feng, we've been walking along the highway these past few days, and it's all desolate land."
Chen Gu lowered his voice as he spoke, "Most monsters live in cities, and the more densely populated the urban area, the more dangerous it is!"
"Understood!"
In the long war between monsters and humans, both sides were constantly evolving.
Most intelligent monsters understood one thing: in the open wilderness, they were vulnerable to "sneak attacks" from human ranged weaponry.
However, in densely populated urban areas, with their dilapidated buildings and countless shelters, humans could only fight them in street battles.
"Our target this time is an Ironclad Bull!"
Gao Feng gestured to the others, lowering his voice. "The county town ahead is the Ironclad Bulls' lair. Their leader should be a C-rank, equivalent to a high-level War General."
"Furthermore, the Ironclad Bulls' lair is vast. We'll go around!"
"Chen Gu, don't fire yet. We must kill it in one shot. It'll be troublesome if the Ironclad Bull calls for reinforcements."
"Yes, Captain!"
Everyone responded in unison.
The danger levels varied across the suburbs, county towns, and city centers. Some city areas might even harbor Lord-level monsters, which were difficult to deal with even for War Gods.
Following the abandoned road into the city, the seven members of the Firehammer Squad proceeded cautiously.
"Let's go, up to the rooftop first!"
"Everyone be careful, there might be monsters hiding inside the building!"
Before Gao Feng finished speaking.
"Roar!"
A Tiger Mastiff suddenly lunged out from the stairwell.
'Swish!' 'Swish!'
The Wei Brothers moved in near unison, each wielding a blade in a 'ten' shape, instantly killing a Beast Soldier-level Tiger Mastiff.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The explosion of blood attracted all the Tiger Mastiffs on the floor.
Chen Gu glanced at the dozens of Tiger Mastiffs and sighed, "Looks like we stirred up a hornet's nest!"
"They're all Beast Soldier-level. Don't fire. The six of us will handle this quickly!"
Gao Feng didn't hesitate, swinging his double hammers and charging forward.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Luo Feng held a shield in one hand and swung his Blood Shadow Blade in the other.
After several days of fighting, he was also close to the War General level, and his swordsmanship became increasingly skilled.
The Wei Brothers cooperated with each other with extreme tacit understanding. As they moved, almost every strike took down a Tiger Mastiff.
Pshhh!
Jiang Li and Zhang Ke stepped forward, their Blood Shadow War Blades carrying an unstoppable momentum, each taking down one with a single strike.
It didn't take long.
The Beast Soldier-level Tiger Mastiffs were cleared away, and the seven of them charged directly onto the rooftop.
"Zhang Ke, go close the stairwell!"
Gao Feng glanced at the rooftop, which, like the rooftop of a normal human residential area, had only one entrance.
Zhang Ke closed the door, took out the food from his backpack, and said to the others, "Finally, we can catch our breath."
"Did everyone bring binoculars?"
Gao Feng spoke up, "Look down from the rooftop and see if you can find any Ironclad Bulls. Remember, don't expose too much of your body, or other monsters might spot you!"
"I don't have one."
Jiang Li said directly.
"Hehe, you killed the most Tiger Mastiffs just now, so we'll let you slack off for a bit."
Wei Qing was now completely convinced by Jiang Li. "Come on, brothers, let's find some monsters!"
Luo Feng also took out binoculars from his backpack. Generally, everyone would bring these types of outdoor auxiliary tools.
"Captain, look over here!"
Before long, Zhang Ke suddenly exclaimed, pointing towards a direction in the county town.
Whoosh!
The others immediately rushed over. Although Jiang Li didn't have binoculars, he could see hundreds of boars appearing on the street in the northwest corner.
There were Ironhide Boars, Horned Boars, Tusker Boars, and so on.
"That one on the middle street is... a Bloodthirsty Tank?"
Gao Feng's eyes lit up.
"The Bloodthirsty Tank clan, ranked second among boar monsters?"
Luo Feng looked surprised: "This type of boar monster is covered in scales, its defense is extremely impressive, not inferior to a real war tank."
"This is a big one!"
Wei Tie rubbed his hands together: "Captain, judging by the color of its scales, it's close to D-rank. It's a mid-level beast!"
"Chen Gu, it's your turn!"
Gao Feng called out, then explained, "Jiang Li, Luo Feng, the best way to deal with a War General surrounded by monsters like this is to use 'Heavy Armor-Piercing Rounds' to kill it from a distance!"
"And what we need to do is get the body!"
"A Bloodthirsty Tank like this can sell for over 15 million at the Underground Alliance!"
While Gao Feng was explaining, Chen Gu had already finished setting up his heavy sniper rifle.
He leaned down, put his eye to the scope, licked his finger to feel the wind direction, and then precisely adjusted the optical sight.
The next instant.
'Bang!'
A deep, powerful sound of something bursting echoed.
Almost immediately, the bullet pierced through the air and slammed into the Bloodthirsty Tank's ear.
'Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!'
Only then did everyone hear the sonic boom.
The Bloodthirsty Tank's upright ears instantly burst into flames, and the immense force caused half of its head to smash into the ground. The bullet had cleanly pierced through its ear.
