"Awoo, awoo, awoo!"
The Bloodthirsty Tank roared in pain, its body struggling to rise. After finally managing to stand, it let out another pained cry and crashed back to the ground.
Immediately, the surrounding pig-like monsters swarmed towards it.
Like stars surrounding the moon.
"Nice!"
Gao Feng, holding binoculars, raised his hand after seeing the Bloodthirsty Tank fall. "Great swordsmanship!"
"Don't praise me yet."
Chen Gu laughed. "Now you guys need to figure out how to get the Bloodthirsty Tank's corpse from those hundreds of wild boars!"
"You provide fire support…"
Gao Feng instructed, then shouted to the others to quickly go downstairs: "Brothers, let's go!"
"Luo Feng, your strength is a bit lacking, you're responsible for protecting Chen Gu!"
After going downstairs, Gao Feng quickly made a plan: "Wei Tie, Wei Qing, you two are responsible for disrupting the beast horde. Jiang Li, you're responsible for support."
"Remember, don't be reckless!"
"Charging into a beast horde is extremely dangerous. Even a War General would be in danger if surrounded!"
Gao Feng reminded them repeatedly, his expression unusually solemn.
"Jiang Li, Zhang Ke, be careful!"
Luo Feng held his breath at this moment; charging into a group of hundreds of monsters was indeed extremely dangerous.
"Yeah!"
Jiang Li nodded slightly, "Everyone, be careful too!"
'Whoosh!' 'Whoosh!'
Two streaks of black light shot out from the hands of the Wei Tie and Wei Qing brothers, like a black meteor streaking across the sky, landing in the distance among the monster horde.
'Beep' 'Beep' 'Beep'! "Boom!"
Two timed bombs suddenly detonated, the powerful explosive force and impact throwing the nearby monsters into disarray.
Simultaneously, the two bombs kicked up a huge cloud of smoke that quickly spread in all directions.
"Now's our chance!"
At Gao Feng's command, he pushed off with his legs and shot forward, wielding two black great hammers.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Wei Tie and Wei Qing also unleashed their full power, one holding a shield and the other a blade, charging towards the Bloodthirsty Tank's corpse.
"Shhh!"
At the same time, Jiang Li, holding the Bloodshadow Warblade, followed, a white flash of lightning. With a single slash along the way, two wild boar heads were severed with a hiss, hiss.
Ordinary Beast Soldiers couldn't withstand a single strike from Jiang Li.
Bang!
At this moment, Gao Feng, wielding his heavy hammer, had reached the Bloodthirsty Tank. He quickly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the back of the Bloodthirsty Tank's ear, beginning to dissect the corpse.
"Jiang Li, I'll leave the front to you!"
Zhang Ke brandished his alloy spear and shouted, positioning himself to Gao Feng's left.
Wei Tie and Wei Qing, the brothers, defended Gao Feng's right. With the Bloodthirsty Tank's defense, even Gao Feng, a mid-level War General, needed half a minute to extract the materials.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
In an instant, the other monsters noticed Gao Feng and the others, roaring as they charged forward. Each one seemed like a car speeding at over a hundred kilometers per hour.
Dozens of beasts charged in for a siege, even a War General would have to avoid their sharp edges.
"Not good! Too many!"
Wei Qing slashed down with his blade, felling a rushing Ironhide Boar. He looked straight ahead, his expression suddenly changing: "Captain, how much longer?!"
"15 seconds!"
"Jiang Li!"
Zhang Ke, wielding a spear, had just fended off three monsters in a row. Seeing the monstrous tide of beasts in front of him, he shouted urgently: "Retreat quickly!"
"10 seconds!"
Gao Feng's face was flushed red as he poured all his strength into cutting open the Bloodthirsty Tank's hide.
"Chen Gu, provide covering fire!"
Wei Tie roared. Behind him, Chen Gu, manning the advanced heavy weaponry, grinned ferociously. Immediately, the sound of "tat-tat-tat" erupted as streams of bullets spewed wildly from the gun's muzzle.
This rapid-fire barrage wasn't very effective against Beast Generals.
However, it posed a significant threat to Beast Soldiers.
After the covering fire, nearly a third of the wild boars charging forward were brought down.
"Jiang Li!"
Gao Feng, who was dissecting the last of the beast, shouted, "Five seconds!"
"Alright!"
Among those present, besides Gao Feng, only Jiang Li had reached the Intermediate War General level.
Jiang Li naturally understood what Gao Feng meant, buying him those 5 seconds!
"Die!"
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed, a layer of flowing light flashing across his body.
It was as if he had been crystal-plated.
Adamantine Lapis Lazuli Technique!
He pulled back his right arm, unleashing a terrifying punch!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ten or so wild boars directly in front of him were swept away, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Actually, Jiang Li didn't want to reveal these martial arts so early.
But there was really no other choice now.
Fortunately, Chen Gu and the others were sensible and didn't ask too many questions.
"Alright, let's retreat!"
Gao Feng, having finished the dissection, shouted, not even bothering to assess the situation.
'Swoosh!' 'Swoosh!'
The seven members of the Fire Hammer Squad quickly retreated, sprinting away without looking back.
"Over here!"
After the Fire Hammer Squad had dashed three or four kilometers away, Gao Feng finally looked back. He confirmed that no monsters were pursuing them. "Up to that building."
On the rooftop of the seventeen-story building, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haha, 15 million in the bag!"
Chen Gu laughed heartily. "We've had a great haul this time!"
"Thanks to Jiang Li and Luo Feng, our squad took down the Bloodthirsty Tank so easily!"
"Jiang Li, that punch of yours was amazing!"
Zhang Ke was also happy. Usually, when they went out to the wilderness, they only earned tens of millions in a month or two, which didn't amount to much per person.
That was also why Zhang Zehu was always in the wilderness, yet he was still heartbroken over the 80 million.
"Indeed!"
Gao Feng also nodded, saying, "But it's strange, the monster horde doesn't seem to be chasing us anymore?"
"Haha, what does that mean?"
Wei Tie laughed, and Wei Qing chimed in teasingly, "It means our escape speed has improved!"
"Alright, stop fooling around, everyone replenish your stamina."
Just as the Fire Hammer Squad was hiding on the seventeenth-floor rooftop, another elite squad appeared near the Bloodthirsty Tank's corpse.
They all had a tiger emblem embroidered on their chests; this was the 'Tiger Fang Squad', which was very famous in the Jiangnan martial artist circle.
"Damn it, the Bloodthirsty Tank we've been tracking all day was actually taken down by someone!"
The speaker was none other than Zhang Zehu, who had suffered a great loss at the hands of Luo Feng.
"Captain, look over here!"
The Tiger Fang Squad was no weaker than the Fire Hammer Squad, and also had two War General-level experts.
"All sixteen bodies were sliced straight through, with identical cuts. This was likely caused by a single attack!"
The Tiger Fang Squad leader examined the corpses, his brow furrowing. "Someone with that kind of attack power has to be at least a War General. We can't afford to provoke someone like that!"
"A War General would scavenge materials from a Bloodthirsty Tank?"
Zhang Zehu was puzzled.
"It's probably not the same person!"
The one-eyed middle-aged man inspected the Bloodthirsty Tank's corpse and concluded, "This Bloodthirsty Tank was killed by a thermal weapon. That War General probably just happened to be passing by!"
"Damn it!"
Another sniper with a thermal weapon said resentfully, "Are they really that lucky?!"
They knew very well that it wasn't difficult to "ambush" and kill a Bloodthirsty Tank; the hard part was how to retrieve the materials from the beast horde.
Based on the current situation, it was clear that a sniper had taken down the Bloodthirsty Tank, and at the same time, a powerful War General had happened to pass by, clearing the beast horde for them with a single blow.
As for why they made this judgment?
If the squad had a War General, they wouldn't need to resort to an ambush in the first place.
"Forget it, our target isn't the Bloodthirsty Tank anyway!"
"As long as we can take down 'The Hunter', that old guy, it'll be worth fifty Bloodthirsty Tanks!"
Upon hearing the name "The Hunter", the members of the Tiger Fang Squad immediately burst into laughter.
