Taking the Spoils

Within the dilapidated and desolate Vanke Dream City Residential District, a thunderous roar echoed. CRACK! A snake tail, as thick as a man's waist, lashed out like lightning at the two Indians wielding giant scimitars. The two Indian Warriors 'whooshed' five or six meters into the air, grabbing onto the window railings of a nearby residential building. The snake tail, however, slammed into a nearby tree, its trunk snapping directly at a height of five or six meters with a 'crack,' crashing down with a thunderous rumble. “Haha, trying to kill me?” Luo Feng, shield in hand, sprinted rapidly. The two snake heads of the Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent frantically pursued Luo Feng! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! With a flick of his wrist, two throwing knives shot out. Though it appeared Luo Feng threw them by hand, the instant they left his grasp, they were entirely controlled by his mental force, boosting their speed to an astonishing degree. Only blurry afterimages of cold light could be seen enveloping the Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent! “Hiss, hiss~~” The Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent roared, dodging. “Change!” Luo Feng's eyes glinted with coldness. Both throwing knives subtly changed direction, though the alteration was slight. Coupled with the fact that the knives were far faster than sniper rifle bullets, others couldn't discern the change in trajectory at all. “PFFT!” “HISS!” One of the two throwing knives grazed the left snake head, but the other struck it directly. From the start of the battle, Luo Feng had unleashed six throwing knives, each targeting the left snake head. Now, that left snake head was drenched in blood, its wounds terrifying. “WHOOSH!” Luo Feng was as light as a swallow, his running speed frighteningly fast. “Good!” The Indian leader, wielding an alloy staff, shouted excitedly. While the Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent pursued Luo Feng, he seized the opportunity to relentlessly attack, striking the right snake head with one swift blow after another, like beating a drowning dog. The Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent dared not directly resist the alloy staff with its head and could only desperately dodge. One must understand, though the staff seemed less powerful than a sharp spearhead, when it struck, the force concentrated at the tip. The small cross-sectional area of the tip, despite its size, could produce the devastating effect of a blunt weapon! “Indians, put some more effort into it!” Gao Feng roared. The other two Indian Warriors, armed with giant scimitars and shields, joined Gao Feng in close-quarters combat against the Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent's body. Firstly, to prevent the serpent from using its tail to attack Luo Feng and the Indian leader, and secondly, they aimed to strike the great serpent's vital spot! A snake's vital spot is said to be at its 'seven inches,' though this is a figurative term, primarily referring to the heart in its abdomen. Although the great serpent was confident in its defense, it dared not easily allow Gao Feng and the other two to attack its vital spots. Thus, its tail lashed out, then coiled, employing every means to counter Gao Feng and his companions. “WHOOSH!” Luo Feng's left arm shield, propelled by mental force, sent him rocketing towards Captain Gao Feng's position with a push of his foot. As he neared Gao Feng, Luo Feng whispered, “Captain, when you're in close combat, use your detached hammer and smash it into the great serpent's left snake head!” “Heh heh, understood.” Gao Feng immediately grasped Luo Feng's meaning. Luo Feng's movements on the battlefield were elusive and strange; he never engaged the great serpent in close combat, always relying on his astonishing speed to circle around. “YAH!” The Indian leader suddenly let out a low roar, his face flushed, his blood surging to its limit. For a moment, he resembled a legendary Buddhist Arhat, the speed of his staff suddenly skyrocketing. He charged fearlessly towards the Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent, the staff in his hand reaching its peak speed in an instant, unleashing dozens of staff shadows in the blink of an eye! BANG! BANG! Two of those dozens of staff shadows actually slammed hard onto the right snake head. The massive right snake head swayed, seemingly dazed, and with a crash, it fell directly onto the ground below. “HISS-WOO~” The Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent's left head immediately let out a terrifying roar. Its massive, soft, and elongated body suddenly moved, springing up and rapidly slithering, attempting to escape. “Quick!” The Indian leader, the bald strongman, urgently roared. WHOOSH! Gao Feng, who had been very close to the Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent, roared, “Die!” He swung the heavy hammer in his hand with all his might. The hammer, like a cannonball, slammed towards the Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent's left head. The left head immediately dodged. Luo Feng, not far away, his eyes flashing, applied all his mental force to the heavy hammer, instantly increasing its speed! “BOOM!” The Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent dodged instantly. Although the heavy hammer didn't strike its head, it hit its neck! With Gao Feng's peak strength augmented by Luo Feng's mental force, the impact of this hammer blow was incredibly powerful. The Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent's left head was dazed and fell to the ground. But just as it was regaining consciousness and attempting to lift its head! Luo Feng revealed a faint smile! “PFFT!” A black throwing knife instantly burst from the ground, shooting directly into the left snake head's skull along the gash on its face! The left head never rose again. “POP!” The Indian leader, the bald strongman, thrust his alloy staff like lightning, directly piercing the right head's eyeball and penetrating the Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent's skull! The Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent had lost its life, but its massive body still twitched and writhed unconsciously, until it gradually became motionless! “Haha!” The Indian leader couldn't help but laugh. “Beautiful.” Gao Feng happily picked up his heavy hammer, while Luo Feng smiled as he retrieved his throwing knives. From start to finish, the Indians probably never realized he was controlling his weapons with mental force! Especially the final blow, when the Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent's head had already fallen to the ground, Luo Feng controlled the throwing knife to burst from the earth and directly penetrate the serpent's skull. “Friends.” The bald strongman smiled, greeting Luo Feng and Gao Feng, “Good!” “You're not bad yourself,” Luo Feng said with a smile. He could tell that the bald strongman had used a desperate move at the end; even now, the strongman's face was flushed, and his veins still bulged. “Half for you, half for us!” the bald strongman declared. Luo Feng pointed to the left snake head, smiling faintly: “The snake scales too, half.” Both sides sensed the other's strength, and it was likely that both Luo Feng's squad and the Indian squad had hot weapon Warriors secretly aiming with sniper rifles, in addition to their own formidable power. Thus, the atmosphere between them was amicable. Luo Feng and Gao Feng began dissecting the Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent's left head! Meanwhile, the Indians dissected the right head. “Luo Feng, that was a brutal strike,” Gao Feng murmured. Luo Feng smiled, retrieving the black throwing knife from the dissected snake head. It was precisely that strike that had killed the left head. Suddenly— “Hmm?” Luo Feng and Gao Feng quickly turned to look, and the three-man Indian squad's expressions also changed as they looked. They saw nine human Warriors approaching from not far away, most of them of East Asian descent. The moment these nine newcomers saw the massive serpent corpse on the ground, they instantly assessed its value—easily over a billion. This immense wealth immediately brought a greedy glint to many eyes. “Please go away!” the Indian leader, the bald strongman, said in awkward Mandarin. “Didn't expect to run into the Tiger Fang Squad here; they're truly persistent ghosts,” Gao Feng muttered, his gaze sweeping over the group before them. Luo Feng watched in silence. Among the nine newcomers, besides the six members of the Tiger Fang Squad, there was an old man, a tall Caucasian strongman, and a mixed-race youth. “Haha, Gao Feng, you actually teamed up with the Indians, tsk tsk… But it's quite rare that you managed to kill this Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent,” the Tiger Fang Squad leader sneered. “If you're smart, scram now, and our Thunder Squad might spare your lives. Otherwise… tsk tsk, don't blame us. Oh, this Elder Liu is our Thunder Squad's captain. And this Mr. Kalong is our vice-captain.” Elder Liu was the old man, and Kalong was the Caucasian strongman. Luo Feng's eyes turned cold. “This is my first time in City No. 003, and this prey belongs to me. You may leave,” the mixed-race youth said with a smile. The old man and the Caucasian strongman stood on either side of the mixed-race youth, scanning Luo Feng and his group. “Anyone who dares to steal my prey… dies!” the Indian leader, the bald strongman, growled. The two Indians wielding giant scimitars beside him also exuded killing intent. Was it easy to kill a Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent? First, it was rare to encounter such a mutated and valuable monster, and second, the battle itself was quite arduous. Gao Feng also held his heavy hammer, his eyes glinting fiercely. “If you want it, come and get it,” Luo Feng said with a sneer, his foot on the serpent's head, looking at the group before him. “We killed the Twin-Headed Black-Lined Serpent. As for you lot… by the way, my brother's sniper rifle is currently aimed at you!” “Our sniper rifles are also aimed at you!” one of the three Indians, wielding a giant scimitar, said coldly. Luo Feng, Gao Feng, and the three Indians stood by the serpent corpse, coldly observing the nine individuals before them. “Sniper rifles?” Many among the nine couldn't help but look up at the surrounding residential buildings, but they saw no one in the dilapidated structures. Yet, precisely because they saw no one, they were even more afraid. The Tiger Fang Squad knew very well that the Fire Hammer Squad had a sniper, Chen Gu. And how could the Indian squad not bring a hot weapon expert?
