Engage!

Luo Feng, alongside the five veteran members of the Fire Hammer Squad, quietly scaled a wall and entered a residential district courtyard by the street. The dilapidated walls of this district had already collapsed in over a dozen places. The concrete paths were long overgrown with weeds, and moss clung to the corners of the walls. “The fat sheep is just ahead.” Wei Tie peered through a gap in the collapsed wall at the street outside. “Our luck’s in; that twin-tailed tiger cat is leisurely leading its subordinates, hunting.” Luo Feng also looked through a crack in the wall. About fifty meters down the street, a group of tiger cats was led by a Beast General-level twin-tailed tiger cat. “Alright, brothers, remember this,” Gao Feng whispered. “First, your task is to kill the ordinary tiger cats. As for the Beast General-level tiger cat, stay clear to avoid being caught in the crossfire. I’ll handle it. A beginner Beast General-level tiger cat, I can take it alone. Second, Chen Gu, no need to open fire with your machine gun yet. It’s not too late to shoot if an emergency arises… Once you fire, we must immediately flee the combat zone.” “Understood.” Luo Feng and the other five nodded solemnly. Gunshots easily attracted monsters. If they were on a high-rise rooftop, far away, monsters couldn’t pinpoint the gunshots by sound. But fighting on flat ground, firing a gun would quickly expose them. Soon, a large number of surrounding monsters would be drawn to attack, and the longer they stayed, the more would gather. Last time, when they were snatching the ‘Bloodthirsty Tank’ corpse, as soon as Chen Gu fired, everyone immediately ran for their lives. “Good, we need to finish this quickly! Engage!” Gao Feng waved his hand. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Six figures sprinted out almost simultaneously. Even Chen Gu had a machine gun in his left hand and a short dagger in his right. The six transformed into six afterimages, charging towards the tiger cat group. “Roar~~” The leader of the tiger cat group, the twin-tailed tiger cat, saw them and its fur bristled. It immediately let out an enraged roar. The sixteen tiger cat monsters around it also let out furious, wild roars. The roars echoed continuously on both sides of the street, shaking the heavens. One by one, the agile, strong tiger cats pounced fiercely at the humans before them. “Kill!” “Die, beasts!” Luo Feng watched a tiger cat pounce like lightning. His footwork shifted, and he sidestepped over a meter in an instant. His Blood Shadow Blade, leveraging this sidestep, transformed into an arc of cold light, sweeping upwards in a forehand slash towards the tiger cat’s throat! The pouncing tiger cat let out a low growl, surprisingly lowering its head slightly, using its chin to block Luo Feng’s strike! “Screech!” The Blood Shadow Blade cut through the tiger cat’s chin fur, even splitting the chin bone by half a centimeter. “This tiger cat reacts so fast, much faster than a lion-mastiff monster.” As Luo Feng landed, a foul wind assailed him. Another tiger cat had already opened its maw, biting at Luo Feng. Luo Feng, with a shield in one hand and his Blood Shadow Blade in the other, took a step back to create some space, then directly thrust his shield sideways and stabbed straight with his right hand! The Blood Shadow Blade skillfully grazed the edge of the shield, instantly piercing into the chin of the tiger cat that was still mid-air. Luo Feng sharply pulled out his blade and retreated. “Pfft~~” Blood spurted wildly. The tiger cat, comparable to a calf, landed on the ground, swayed three times, let out a roar, and then crashed onto the cracked concrete. “Watch out!” A loud shout suddenly rang out! “CRASH!” Not far away, Wei Tie and Wei Qing were almost instantly sent flying by an impact. Wei Tie slammed hard into the wall by the street. With a loud bang, the long-dilapidated wall collapsed. Wei Tie fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. “Roar~~” The twin-tailed tiger cat that had instantly sent Wei Tie and Wei Qing flying was now almost upon Luo Feng. “Too fast!” Luo Feng was startled and immediately sidestepped. “Just barely!” Clearly, his evasion speed was still a bit lacking. Just as the twin-tailed tiger cat’s claws were about to rake his body, an invisible mental force instantly acted on the wrist guard of his right hand. This sudden power significantly increased Luo Feng’s sidestep, causing the twin-tailed tiger cat’s claws to graze past him. “Screech!” Luo Feng also instinctively delivered a fierce upward slash! The blade struck one of the twin-tailed tiger cat’s forelegs. The sharp Blood Shadow Blade scraped against the fur of its forepaw, making a screeching sound, but it didn’t even break through a layer of fur on the twin-tailed tiger cat’s forepaw. “Beast General-level monsters are too fast, and their defense is terrifying,” Luo Feng exclaimed in shock. “Thud!” The twin-tailed tiger cat landed, its sharp claws digging holes and cracks into the old concrete ground. “Beast!!!” Captain Gao Feng, enraged that his comrades were injured due to his carelessness, charged like a bolt of lightning from the side. His face was grim, and his two massive heavy hammers spun like pinwheels, smashing down fiercely. The twin-tailed tiger cat, seemingly unharmed by Luo Feng’s strike, turned and roared, charging at Gao Feng like a massive truck! Boom! Boom! Heavy hammers clashed with sharp claws! Both Gao Feng and the twin-tailed tiger cat staggered. Gao Feng pushed off with his left foot and pounced again, giving the twin-tailed tiger cat no chance to attack his comrades again! One of the twin-tailed tiger cat’s forelegs seemed to have been fractured by the heavy hammer, as it could only stand on three legs. In a direct confrontation, Gao Feng actually had the advantage! Rumble~~ The heavy hammers rained down! … On the rooftop of a six-story residential building about five hundred meters away, the six members of the Tiger Fang Squad were scanning their surroundings with binoculars. “Captain, there are quite a few monsters around. It’ll be difficult for us to reach the ‘Hunter’s’ location ten miles away without disturbing most of them,” the one-eyed middle-aged man said with a frown. The short, thin Tiger Fang Captain also frowned, then his gaze fell on the Fire Hammer Squad, who were fighting the tiger cat monster group in the distance. “It’s the Fire Hammer Squad,” the Tiger Fang Captain’s eyebrows lifted. “They’ve come to this county town too?” “It’s probably because they brought that new guy, Luo Feng, that the Fire Hammer Squad is here,” the one-eyed middle-aged man said. “That guy with the twin hammers is clearly Gao Feng. Gao Feng’s strength is truly immense, daring to directly confront a beginner Beast General-level monster. I’ve heard that his strength can rival an ordinary intermediate Warrior General. His speed is just a bit slower. It’s true, then.” Zhang Zehu, who carried a giant broadsword on his back, his eyes lit up. He immediately picked up his binoculars and looked carefully in that direction, exclaiming in surprise, “It really is the Fire Hammer Squad! That kid Luo Feng is here too, and he seems to be doing quite well!” A hint of ferocity flashed in Zhang Zehu’s eyes. “Captain, this little brat cost me a full hundred million!” Zhang Zehu quickly said. “Let’s take this chance to kill him!” A hundred million was a huge sum for Zhang Zehu. After all, he was only a high-level Soldier-level Warrior, and it took him two years of life-and-death struggles to earn that much. “Kill him?” The other members of the squad were slightly startled. The Tiger Fang Captain frowned slightly, then smiled: “Good idea! A Xiao, A Dong, you two first use sniper rifles to deal with key members of the Fire Hammer Squad, then immediately open fire on the two monster groups nearby! We’re far away, so with sudden shots, the monster groups won’t detect where the bullets came from.” “These ordinary monsters have very low intelligence. Once hit, they’ll only furiously attack the humans they can see!” The Tiger Fang Captain smiled coldly, “At that time, the other two monster groups around this street will quickly be drawn to the Fire Hammer Squad’s location and attack them! A large-scale battle will cause a large number of monsters to gather there, making other areas sparse. This way, we can easily cross several miles!” The other members of the Tiger Fang Squad fell silent for a moment. They had also harmed other Warriors before. But it was usually for reasons like snatching monster corpses. This time, to just attack like this… “Dongzi, help me aim at that Luo Feng. Kill him with one shot and avenge me, brother,” Zhang Zehu gritted his teeth. “Engage!” the Tiger Fang Captain ordered. “Yes, Captain.” The two members using thermal weapons no longer hesitated. Having faced life and death countless times, they had too much experience killing both humans and monsters. “Hmph, Luo Feng.” Zhang Zehu stood at the edge of the balcony, looking at the Fire Hammer Squad, who had successfully hunted the twin-tailed tiger cat and were now dissecting its corpse for materials. He sneered, “You dared to mess with my money, so I’ll take your life! Go regret it in hell!” And two sniper rifles were already set up. The two thermal weapon members were lying prone behind their sniper rifles. They both chose to use special high-power armor-piercing rounds and began aiming, adjusting angles, and so on. In just a moment, both nodded slightly to the Tiger Fang Captain, indicating they were ready. “Whoosh!” The Tiger Fang Captain waved his hand. Both members simultaneously pulled their triggers! “Bang!” “Bang!” Two low, muffled thuds suddenly rang out. Two bullets instantly tore through the long sky, shooting towards the Fire Hammer Squad, who were dissecting the twin-tailed tiger cat’s corpse for materials in the distance. Although the sound was loud, the bullets’ speed was several times that of sound. The Fire Hammer Squad hadn’t even heard the gunshots yet when the bullets arrived!
