Chapter 52
Silver Moon Wolf
Through the high-magnification, night-vision binoculars, Luo Feng quickly spotted a massive wolf, nearly three meters tall and five to six meters long, on a street about two li away. Its fur was entirely gray, with only a faint patch of white fur on its forehead. Even from a distance, Luo Feng could feel the menacing aura emanating from this fierce beast. “This is…” Luo Feng compared it to the monster data stored in his mind. “It’s a hunter, a ‘Silver Moon Wolf’!” Chen Gu’s startled cry came from beside him. “It’s the royal family of wolf-type monsters—a Silver Moon Wolf!” Luo Feng was taken aback. Yes, this was a Silver Moon Wolf! Silver Moon Wolves, the royal family among wolf-type monsters, are at least ‘intermediate beast general level’ in their adult form. Normally, their fur is gray, but in battle, it turns completely silver-white! The tuft of silver-white fur on its forehead, however, turns blood-red during combat! They are renowned for their cunning, viciousness, and ferocity. Their fur is also incredibly valuable in human society, possessing many special properties, and their skull is exceptionally hard, fetching an equally high price. “This is a high-level beast general Silver Moon Wolf.” Luo Feng made his judgment based on its size and fur color, involuntarily sucking in a cold breath. “A high-level beast general! And a Silver Moon Wolf at that!” It’s not that all high-level beast generals are equal. Could a mentalist and a regular warrior of similar rank be considered the same? Silver Moon Wolves are inherently far more ferocious and powerful. “Look, it’s injured in the abdomen, and quite severely,” Wei Tie whispered. Immediately, almost everyone present turned to look at Captain Gao Feng. “Captain, this is a wolf-type royal—a Silver Moon Wolf! A high-level beast general! This single Silver Moon Wolf is worth more than ten high-level beast general ‘Tiger-Mastiff monsters’! If we get this, we’ll make a fortune!” Chen Gu couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly. “Captain, make a decision quickly!” Wei Tie, standing nearby, also urged, “Captain, the Silver Moon Wolf is moving fast and will soon disappear from our sight. We can’t hesitate.” “Even a heavily injured Silver Moon Wolf is not something we can handle,” Gao Feng retorted, his voice low. “Clear your heads, don’t let money blind you.” Heavily injured high-level beast generals are rare to encounter. Not to mention a heavily injured royal wolf, a ‘Silver Moon Wolf’—finding one is like winning the lottery! Keep in mind that even an uninjured high-level beast general ‘Silver Moon Wolf’ is no match for a human high-level warlord warrior. “Captain, I’ll give it a try,” Luo Feng offered. “Luo Feng…” Gao Feng hesitated slightly. “Do you…?” “Killing the Silver Moon Wolf, I’m not entirely confident. After all, I haven’t killed one before, but… I’m 100% confident in escaping.” Luo Feng smiled. He was a mentalist, and the most envied ability of a mentalist was the power of flight! Mental power could only act on inanimate objects. Luo Feng could instantly apply mental power to his alloy combat boots, allowing him to leap to astonishing heights. Then, by placing his shield under his feet, he could stand steadily! By controlling the shield’s flight with his mental power, Luo Feng could naturally fly himself. Flight… this was the most envied ability of a mentalist. Even War God-level powerhouses could only feel helpless envy. This was also one reason why mentalists were sought after by various factions across the world. “Alright, Luo Feng, be careful. If you can get it, get it, but don’t force yourself if you can’t. Safety first,” Gao Feng instructed. “Don’t worry,” Luo Feng replied with a smile. Immediately, gripping his shield and Blood Shadow Battle Blade, Luo Feng leaped directly from the sixth-floor residential rooftop. Whoosh! Luo Feng plummeted rapidly. A six-story drop could generally be withstood by the robust body of a high-level warrior, but Luo Feng wasn’t foolish enough to rely on that. A powerful, invisible force acted on his alloy combat boots, sharply reducing Luo Feng’s speed. He landed effortlessly on the ground of the residential district below. Swish! Luo Feng immediately sprinted outwards, moving like an agile ape. In two leaps, Luo Feng was on the street. … On the rooftop, the rest of the Fire Hammer Squad watched intently through their binoculars. “This is Luo Feng’s true strength,” Wei Tie couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. “Mentalists truly live up to their reputation as the most terrifying group among warriors. It’s simply incredible. With mental power, their speed, agility, and other attributes can reach unbelievable levels. And their ability to control objects from a distance is just monstrous!” “It is monstrous,” Chen Gu nodded in agreement. “Haha, so, you should be happy,” Gao Feng smiled faintly. “A mentalist just joined our Fire Hammer Squad.” Hearing this, the others immediately laughed. “Captain, do you think Luo Feng can kill that Silver Moon Wolf?” Zhang Ke, lying on the ground, asked with a smile. “Hard to say,” Gao Feng hesitated. “It’s a high-level beast general monster, and Luo Feng has just entered the ‘intermediate warlord level’ as a mentalist. He might have a chance against a weaker high-level beast general. But against a royal wolf… Fortunately, this hunter ‘Silver Moon Wolf’ is heavily injured. Luo Feng still has hope.” “There’s still hope!” The group all held their binoculars, watching Luo Feng pursue it below. … Luo Feng moved like a black lightning bolt, swiftly advancing down the street. “This Silver Moon Wolf is escaping really fast.” Luo Feng took a shortcut, initially thinking he could intercept it, but to his surprise, he was still about a li away from the Silver Moon Wolf. “Hmm, it turned left?” Whoosh! Luo Feng sharply turned and leaped, clearing a wall to his left and entering this desolate residential district. He cut diagonally, chasing the Silver Moon Wolf. “Roar~~” Two ‘Tiger-Mastiff monsters’ that had been lounging leisurely immediately stood up upon seeing Luo Feng, letting out low growls. With a tremor of the ground, the two Tiger-Mastiff monsters charged forward with a rumble. Luo Feng, already in motion, didn’t bother to dodge, nor did he care to. “Pfft!” “Pfft!” Two throwing knives automatically flew from Luo Feng’s pant leg, transforming into two streaks of light. At such close range, the two Tiger-Mastiff monsters had no time to dodge and were directly shot through the head. The eyes of the two Tiger-Mastiff monsters were filled with terror, quickly losing their vitality and dimming. “Rumble~~” The two charging Tiger-Mastiff monsters collapsed to the ground, shaking the earth. The two flying knives, unstained by blood, arced back and flew directly into Luo Feng’s pant leg. Swish! Luo Feng quietly leaped into a nearby alley, instantly spotting the Silver Moon Wolf at the end of the alley, about a hundred meters ahead. “Howl~~” The Silver Moon Wolf stopped, staring at the human not far away. “A Silver Moon Wolf, a heavily injured Silver Moon Wolf.” Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed, a smile gracing his face. “Good, through you, I’ll see what my current strongest ability is!” With that, Luo Feng walked step by step towards the Silver Moon Wolf. The Silver Moon Wolf stood silently. As Luo Feng approached, the nearly three-meter-tall Silver Moon Wolf’s eyes instantly flickered with a faint blood-red glow. At the same time, its entire body of fur seemed to be infused with a strange energy, instantly changing from its previous gray to silver-white! In an instant, the Silver Moon Wolf became dazzling! Even the tuft of white fur on its forehead turned blood-red! A silver-white body, a blood-red crown. This was the Silver Moon Wolf! Luo Feng advanced step by step, remaining vigilant. When the distance between him and the Silver Moon Wolf narrowed to fifty meters. “Swish!” The Silver Moon Wolf transformed into a silver streak of light, appearing before him in the blink of an eye! “Supersonic!” Frequent neural reaction tests at the Martial Arts Hall allowed Luo Feng to instantly determine… this Silver Moon Wolf’s speed was nearly supersonic! Luo Feng’s expression changed drastically. In a flash, he leaped and sprang back, and the Silver Moon Wolf almost instantly leaped as well, soaring twenty to thirty meters high. Luo Feng even saw the blurred face of the Silver Moon Wolf at supersonic speed, its cold eyes faintly tinged with blood. Powerful mental power suddenly acted on his alloy combat boots, causing Luo Feng to rise even higher, dodging the Silver Moon Wolf’s pouncing claw attack. “So what if your body speed reaches supersonic? Are you faster than my throwing knives?” The moment Luo Feng dodged the Silver Moon Wolf’s claw attack, six throwing knives immediately flew from his pant leg. The six knives instantly transformed into six streaks of light, forming a net-like attack around the Silver Moon Wolf. The Silver Moon Wolf, having roamed the wilderness for many years, possessed extremely high intelligence. At its speed, its pounce should have been impossible for a human warrior to dodge in mid-air, as they couldn’t exert force. Only one type of person could continuously change direction and accelerate in mid-air—a mentalist! When the Silver Moon Wolf realized that the human warrior before it was a mentalist, it was greatly alarmed. But by then, the six throwing knives had already arrived like lightning! “Howl~” The Silver Moon Wolf let out a mournful shriek. It couldn’t change direction or accelerate in mid-air. It could only violently twist its wolf body, its sharp claws striking at the throwing knives like lightning. At close range, Luo Feng’s neural reaction was too slow to make the throwing knives dodge. Thump! Thump! Two of the six throwing knives were directly knocked away, but Luo Feng, still in mid-air, revealed a slight smile. Although he had launched six throwing knives… in reality, he could currently only ensure that two knives reached their maximum attack power. So, the six knives were purely to mislead the Silver Moon Wolf. The true lethal strikes were from two of them. “Hunter, you are the first beast general-level monster to die by my hand.” Luo Feng smiled. Instantly, two of the originally agile four throwing knives became powerless, while the other two knives flashed like lightning, stabbing into the Silver Moon Wolf’s abdomen! The Silver Moon Wolf had no leverage in mid-air, though it roared and clawed. However— Pfft! Pfft! The two throwing knives swiftly pierced through its existing wounds, directly entering the hunter Silver Moon Wolf’s body, instantly shredding its internal organs into a bloody mess. All its internal organs were pulverized. The Silver Moon Wolf let out a final, furious, unwilling howl before plummeting from mid-air!
