Tiger Fang Squad

“Hey, Brother.” The voice from the communication watch made Luo Feng smile. “Luo Hua, aren’t you and your girlfriend really hitting it off? How do you have time to call me!” “Haha…” On the rooftop, Chen Gu, Zhang Ke, and the others all looked over and chuckled. “Even with a wife, you can’t forget your big brother,” his younger brother chuckled through the communication watch. “Oh, right, Brother. I called to tell you something. Xiao Nan has officially agreed to be my girlfriend, haha… Isn’t your little brother awesome?” His brother’s voice was filled with joy. How long had it been? His brother hadn’t been this happy in ages. “The charm of love is truly immense,” Luo Feng thought silently. “My brother has been disabled for so many years, always under a lot of psychological pressure. To be so happy with a girlfriend this time…” Luo Feng was also happy for his brother and immediately laughed, “Keep up the good work! Try to get married soon!” “Brother, no need to rush, we have to take it one step at a time,” Luo Hua said playfully. “Hmm, by the way, where are Mom and Dad?” Luo Feng asked. “Mom and Dad went grocery shopping together,” Luo Hua replied. Luo Feng nodded… His mother could finally go grocery shopping in the morning, and his father could finally relax, not having to work, and accompany his mother to the market. “I’m fine, Brother. You also need to be careful outside the Base City,” Luo Hua said with concern. “Don’t worry!” The call ended, and Luo Feng had a smile on his face. “Alright, now that Luo Feng’s finished his call, everyone come over,” Gao Feng said. Luo Feng and the other five walked over. “We just entered the county town today, and our results are already excellent! Old rule, the spoils will be distributed according to everyone’s contribution in battle!” “After this hunt, when we return to the supply base, we’ll make the final distribution.” Gao Feng’s expression suddenly turned serious. “But I’ll say this beforehand, everyone must be vigilant! This is a densely built-up area, a monster lair. There are many Beast General-level monsters throughout the county town, so don’t be careless, or you’ll be in big trouble if you get into a crisis. Many Warriors die every year.” “Understood.” Chen Gu, Zhang Ke, the Wei brothers, and Luo Feng all nodded solemnly. Luo Feng also knew… Warriors who join the government army have the highest safety. But for Warriors like himself, who venture into the wilderness area, the death rate is very high! “Everyone just fought, and you’ve expended a lot of energy. We were also traveling last night, so everyone rest now. We’ll resume action at 4 PM!” Gao Feng decided. “Yes.” “Roar, roar, time to rest.” The six members of the Fire Hammer Squad rested on the rooftop, some leaning, some lying down. … While the Fire Hammer Squad was hidden and resting on the Haihao Grand Hotel’s rooftop, the Tiger Fang Squad had already entered the urban area of this County Town 0201. The six of them cautiously moved through a dilapidated alley, some walls even collapsed, with some monster carcasses scattered within. “Stop!” The lean, short captain raised a hand, and the others halted. The Tiger Fang captain said in a low voice, “Everyone listen up, we have only one target this time—that wounded Silver Moon Direwolf! So, in this county town, we absolutely must not provoke other monsters! Evade if you can, flee if you can. It’s best not to fight them; getting injured would be troublesome!” The other five team members nodded solemnly. A Silver Moon Direwolf, especially an ‘Advanced Beast General’ level one, was far more profitable than hunting dozens of Elementary Beast Generals. “Also… once we catch up to the Silver Moon Direwolf! Remember, this Silver Moon Direwolf is already severely wounded. Two or three attacks should be enough to kill it. I’ll remind everyone one more time, absolutely do not fight it head-on! If we force the Silver Moon Direwolf to fight desperately, at least one or two of us six will die!” Everyone’s expressions were serious, and they nodded solemnly. An Advanced Beast General-level monster, and a royal species among wolves, the ‘Silver Moon Direwolf,’ even if severely wounded. If it goes berserk and retaliates without regard for its life, the Tiger Fang Squad could lose more than half its members. “We’ll just keep wounding it, making it bleed, and wear it down until it dies!” The Tiger Fang captain smiled confidently. “A county town-level area like this rarely attracts Wargod-level Warrior Squads. There are probably only a few teams in the entire county town, and a squad like ours should be considered the strongest here. No one will snatch it from us!” Generally, more powerful Warlord-level teams mostly operate in city-level areas. Those areas offer more challenges, and there are more solitary Beast General-level monsters. For example, one reason the Fire Hammer Squad came to this county town was that Luo Feng was a newcomer! Otherwise, the Fire Hammer Squad would also enter the city area, not a county town like this. “Captain, what if there really is a Warrior Squad that desperately tries to snatch it?” The one-eyed middle-aged man frowned. “Don’t worry.” Zhang Zehu, standing nearby, chuckled. “Even we don’t dare to push that hunter too hard! And most of the Warrior Squads in this county town are Warrior-level! It’s good if there’s even one Warlord-level. If they try to snatch the Silver Moon Direwolf? They’ll probably be torn to shreds by it.” “Hmm.” The Tiger Fang captain nodded. “They don’t have the ability to snatch the Silver Moon Direwolf. If anyone tries to snatch it… kill them directly!” “Yes!” The other five all nodded. “Move out.” The Tiger Fang Squad captain waved his hand, and the six immediately advanced quietly and swiftly. The wilderness area is different from the Base City! The Base City is a city controlled by humans, where there are laws! And government control! But the wilderness area is a place infested with monsters, where dark, chaotic, and bloody things happen far too often. Due to a monster carcass worth a sky-high price, there are many instances of Warrior Squads killing each other! Of course, most of these involve stronger Warrior Squads robbing weaker ones. Many Warriors in the wilderness area die from monsters, but not a few also die at the hands of other Warriors. … In the evening, after eating their fill and resting well, the six members of the Fire Hammer Squad, feeling refreshed, occasionally looked down with their binoculars. “In two hours, we’ve already seen two Beast General-level monsters,” Wei Tie said helplessly. “Unfortunately, each Beast General-level monster is surrounded by a large number of Soldier-level monsters! The city area is better; although there are more Beast Generals, and even ‘Lord-level’ monsters exist there! However, ordinary Soldier-level monsters are mainly concentrated around Lord-level monsters and powerful Beast General-level monsters. Many Beast General-level monsters are solitary.” Earlier, Chen Gu had fired two shots with his sniper rifle! But their luck wasn’t as good this time. The two Beast General-level monsters hit by these two shots, one was almost unaffected. The other, though severely wounded, didn’t die! Most importantly, they were protected by a large number of ordinary monsters. “That’s the downside of county towns; even ordinary Beast General-level monsters can command a large group of monsters,” Zhang Ke also said helplessly. “But county towns are safer.” Gao Feng smiled. “In the entire county town, there are only one or two Advanced Beast General-level monsters. And they are surrounded by a huge number of ordinary monsters, so we won’t encounter them at all. As for ordinary monster groups, with our team’s strength, we can charge through them! We don’t have to worry about suddenly encountering several Beast Generals ambushing us.” In city areas, with a high number of Beast Generals, it’s easy to be ambushed by multiple Beast Generals. “Hmm?” Luo Feng looked carefully below with his binoculars. “Is that, is that a Beast General-level monster?” Below, more than ten monsters appeared at the edge of the street. These ten-plus monsters had spots on their bodies, resembling tigers at first glance. They were from the ‘Tiger Cat’ family of feline monsters. These Tiger Cats were all relatively large, and one of them even had two tails! “Two tails? A Beast General-level?” Luo Feng was pleasantly surprised. In the Tiger Cat family, two tails indicate an Elementary Beast General, three tails an Intermediate Beast General… five tails an Elementary Lord-level… seven tails an Advanced Lord-level… and eight tails, surpassing Lord-level, are the pinnacle of the Tiger Cat family. Among felines, any with nine tails… are Nine-Lives Cat Demons (Nine-Lives Cat Kings), one of the most formidable existences among Earth’s monsters. “Captain, look, a Beast General-level Tiger Cat,” Luo Feng called out. “Tiger Cat?” Immediately, the other five rushed over, looking closely through their binoculars. “It really is a Tiger Cat! Tiger Cats don’t like to live in groups, and it certainly lives up to its reputation. This Beast General-level Tiger Cat only has sixteen ordinary Soldier-level monsters around it.” Gao Feng laughed. “Brothers, prepare to move.” “Only sixteen ordinary monsters, I can handle them myself,” Chen Gu chuckled, and all the team members were relaxed. “Move out.” At Gao Feng’s command, Luo Feng and the others immediately left the rooftop. This time, they didn’t fire their guns prematurely… fearing they might not kill it and scare the Tiger Cat away! A Beast General-level monster with only a dozen or so subordinates is a rare sight in a small county town.
