Chapter 13: Hunting the Silver Moon Wolf
No. 0201, in the suburbs of the county town, in a ten-story residential building, in a relatively intact room.
Li Chao, with his extraordinary eyesight, stood guard at the side of the window, while the other six people sat together in the moonlight coming through the window.
Xiao Dingguo smiled and said, "Today we killed a high-level beast general, two mid-level beast generals, four primary beast generals, and hundreds of beast soldier-level monsters. It can be said that we have reaped a lot."
Everyone nodded, looking at their backpacks which only had a small amount of space left, waiting for the captain to finish speaking.
"Before I came here, I received news that a Silver Moon Wolf had appeared in 0201 County." Xiao Dingguo said, "And the price of a Silver Moon Wolf is more than % higher than that of ordinary monsters of the same level."
"Well, the Silver Moon Wolf is very fast and good at hunting. It is called a hunter. Moreover, the Silver Moon Wolf is at least a mid-level beast general. If we encounter a high-level beast general, even we may not be able to take it down." There was worry in Uncle Liu's words.
"Why hesitate? We have six generals in our field, and we can walk sideways in this 6 County!" Zuo Yan said proudly: "Besides, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to take risks."
"My brother is right!" Zuo Xuan also responded.
"That's right!" said Zhang Shaoyong.
"No one here will give in!" Uncle Liu also said.
"Well, let's find a hidden place tomorrow to put away the monster materials in our hands, and then continue tracking the Silver Moon Wolf." Xiao Dingguo made the final decision.
"Okay!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Today, Li Chao, Xiaoyu, Zhang Shaoyong, Zuo Yan, and Zuo Xuanshou will take turns to keep watch, one hour each." Uncle Liu arranged the people who would keep watch.
When resting in the wilderness, even in a safe place, someone needs to keep watch. In the Iron Blood Squad, the captain and the deputy captain, two senior warriors, need to be in the best condition at all times and do not need to keep watch. Everyone else needs to, including Xiao Yu. Normally, each person only keeps watch for a maximum of two hours.
The so-called rest is nothing more than a period of cultivation. After entering the wilderness, no one will really sleep.
Around two o'clock in the morning, it was Xiao Yu's turn to keep watch.
He quickly checked all the warning points and found no problems, so he came to the window facing a commercial plaza. There were many monsters in the commercial plaza that needed to be kept an eye on at all times.
"The system has fulfilled my first wish: to perfectly comprehend the first level of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade."
Streams of warm current appeared out of nowhere and flowed into his body, making him stronger and more powerful.
Suddenly, Xiao Yu was in an epiphany. His previous misunderstandings of the Nine-Layer Thunder Blade's swordsmanship, the Flowing Light Body Movement, and the first level of the Nine-Layer Hunyuan Guiding Technique were all perfectly explained.
In a short while, his understanding of the first level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Blade was no less than that of its creator, Thor, and he even surpassed Thor in the techniques of guiding and exerting force.
As far as the technique of exerting force is concerned, although he was able to exert two forces at the same time before, he did not understand why he could do so. Now he understands it.
This is also true for the guiding technique.
Know that it is so and also know why it is so.
[The wish has come true]
The content instilled by the system this time not only allowed him to perfectly comprehend the first level of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, but also had a remarkable inspiring effect on his subsequent practice.
"System, set the first wish to: reach the fourth level of apprentice physical fitness."
[Setting successful! ]
[Host: Xiao Yu]
[First wish: Physical fitness reaches the fourth level of apprentice]
[Wish fulfillment status: 1581.2/300 wish points. ]
It seems that after all the fighting and training along the way, his physique is about to be promoted to that of a junior general.
"The system fulfills the first wish."
[The wish is coming true]
A comfortable feeling surged throughout his body, and Xiao Yu was completely immersed in this feeling.
[The wish has come true]
"System, set the first wish: physical fitness reaches the fifth level of apprentice."
[Setting successful! ]
[Host: Xiao Yu]
[First wish: Physical fitness reaches the fifth level of apprentice]
[Wish fulfillment status: 1281.2/8000 wish points. ]
After finishing these things, Xiao Yu resumed his duties.
An hour passed quickly, Xiao Yu walked to the room that was still intact, woke up Zhang Shaoyong who was resting cross-legged, and completed today's shift change.
Xiao Yu randomly found a flat piece of ground and sat cross-legged, then began to practice the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method and the Nine-Layer Hunyuan Guiding Technique.
Suddenly, he found that the cosmic energy was flowing more smoothly in his body, and he had a vague mysterious feeling.
It is really wonderful to immerse yourself in practice and experience the feeling of your body slowly growing every moment!
...
Suddenly, a rustling sound came into Xiao Yu's ears.
I opened my eyes reluctantly and saw my teammates from the Iron Blood Squad all starting their morning preparations.
"Xiao Yu, wake up!" Xiao Dingguo said, "Then hurry up and prepare. Let's have a simple meal first, and then find a hidden place to put the beast soldier-level materials we obtained. We can put them away when we come back and then put them back."
"Okay." Xiao Yu nodded and began to pack his things.
...
0201 In the suburban area of the county town, in the underground parking lot of "Weida Plaza".
"Captain, this underground parking lot is not big, and there is only one entrance and exit. There are no monsters inside, and there are no buildings taller than three stories high around it. The location is also very remote, so no one should notice this place." Uncle Liu said with a smile.
"This hole at the exit will be safer if we can block it with a few cars after we get out." Xiao Dingguo said, pointing to the hole more than a person's height on the fallen fire door at the entrance of the parking lot.
"Just leave this matter to my two brothers. I just saw two shabby vans nearby, which are just suitable." Zuo Yan said.
"Okay." Xiao Dingguo nodded.
...
0201 County town, at the gate of a run-down community, the surrounding buildings are in ruins. On the stone pillars of the gate, you can still vaguely see the four big characters "Xiaguo Bank". This is a -story office building. The two stone lions at the entrance of the hall are also broken, and the head of one of the stone lions has fallen to the side.
"Let's go to the rooftop."
"Everyone be careful, there might be some monsters hiding somewhere upstairs!"
"Walk lightly!"
The seven members of the Iron Blood Squad moved forward cautiously along the stairs.
"Ouch~~"
Xiao Yu saw a monster much larger than the F-class tiger cat suddenly appear at the corner.
"Xiao Yu, be careful! This is an E-level tiger cat." Zuo Yan reminded and quickly rushed to Xiao Yu's side.
Xiao Yu had just been promoted to the junior general level last night and was just about to give it a try!
As soon as the tiger-cat monster ran out and saw humans, it immediately growled and rushed over with a gust of fishy wind, reaching them in the blink of an eye at a distance of ten meters.
Xiao Yu instantly dodged to the platform next to him, while Zuo Yan, relying on his strength as a mid-level warrior, raised his shield and stepped forward, striking from the side. At the same time, an arc of cold light flashed, and the blade of the sword slashed across the joints of the tiger cat's upper limbs.
At the same time, Xiao Yu, who had dodged, saw the tiger cat lose its balance after being hit. He instantly used the first level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Blade's force-generating technique that he had perfectly comprehended, and slashed the tiger cat's abdomen from bottom to top with the Silver Moon Blade.
The tiger-cat monster flew backwards more than ten meters, with blood all over the ground.
The tiger-cat monster was just about to get up when its two front paws stumbled and it fell to the ground.
Zuo Yan and Xiao Yu took advantage of his illness to kill him. They followed him without stopping. Almost at the same time, one stabbed his throat and the other stabbed his heart.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Xiao Yu said a little uncomfortably: "Brother Yan, I stole your monster!"
"We are all brothers, there is nothing to fight about." Zuo Yan said in a low voice.
Xiao Yu's on-the-spot reaction to the beast commander-level monster this time made everyone feel more at ease. ...
On the rooftop, the seven members of the Iron Blood Squad were each holding a high-powered telescope and looking into the distance.
"Captain, I saw a group of bloodthirsty tank beasts in a block not far to the east!" Zuo Yan said.
"I saw a high-level beast general over here, but there seemed to be a herd of beasts over there!" said Li Chao.
"Captain, they are all beast soldier-level monsters."
"I haven't seen any beast generals here either."
for a long time.
"Found it, I found the Silver Moon Wolf!" Uncle Liu said happily.
"Where is it? Let me take a look too." Xiao Dingguo asked happily.
"Five kilometers to the north." Uncle Liu said, "It seems to be fighting with something, but I can't see the opponent clearly!"
All of a sudden, all the members of the Iron Blood Squad looked towards the north with high-powered binoculars.
"The Silver Moon Wolf is approaching us, and it seems to be running away!" Xiao Dingguo also saw the Silver Moon Wolf through the telescope.
"The speed of this Silver Moon Wolf is almost as fast as that of a War God."
"It's already three kilometers close, and it's actually a human warrior flying in the air on a shield!"
"No, he can only fly in the air for a short time. He should be a war general-level spiritualist! If he is a war god-level spiritualist, he will not let the Silver Moon Wolf live that long!"
"The Silver Moon Wolf ran to the southeast. There seems to be a group of bloodthirsty tank beasts there. The leader is at least a mid-level beast general!"
"Not good, that Silver Moon Wolf might run away."
"Let's go and follow them." Xiao Dingguo gave the order.
The team of seven was very careful when going up the stairs, but very quick when going down the stairs.
Xiao Yu jumped four times in a row and jumped from the 24th floor to the first floor stairs.
The seven people approached quickly in formation.
At the end of a street near the bloodthirsty tank herd, there are dilapidated shops on both sides of the six-lane two-way highway. Many of the occasional remaining signs are well-known brands before the Great Nirvana, and some are still active now.
"Captain, the Silver Moon Wolf disappeared when it got close to the bloodthirsty tank group. The psychic just now broke into the bloodthirsty tank group." Li Chao told them what he had discovered.
"Captain, what should we do?" Zuo Yan asked.
"As long as this spiritualist doesn't do anything stupid, there will be no danger." Xiao Dingguo said, "How many beast generals and beast soldier-level monsters are there in the bloodthirsty tank beast group?"
"Three of them are beast generals, the leader is a mid-level beast general, there are monsters close to high-level ones, and the other two are primary guards." Li Chao said carefully: "There are no less than a hundred beast soldier-level monsters."
"How does this bloodthirsty tank group compare to the lion mastiff group we wiped out yesterday?" Xiao Yu asked.
"This bloodthirsty tank ranks second among the pig monsters. This guy is covered with scales and has amazing defense. His only weaknesses are his eyes, mouth, and nostrils. It is difficult to deal with him and is not comparable to the lion mastiff pack." Uncle Liu said.
"This leader is quite troublesome even for me to deal with!" Xiao Dingguo said cautiously.
"Captain, the psychic entered a high-rise building, and the leader and some bloodthirsty tanks followed in. There is only one primary beast general-level monster left outside for the time being, and there are less than ten beast soldier-level monsters patrolling various areas of the territory." Li Chao reported what he saw from time to time.
"Captain, let's..." Zuo Yan asked.
Before he could finish, Xiao Dingguo said, "Let's go, let's follow them in. Although this group of bloodthirsty tanks may be a little troublesome for us, it's nothing!"
Xiao Yu and seven others approached quickly.
They stopped near the street. There were two shabby cars crossing each other blocking the intersection. Two bloodthirsty tanks were patrolling back and forth without squatting, and from time to time they would step on a glass bottle and make a lot of noise.
Without any orders, Zuo Yan and Zuo Xuan approached them quickly.
When the bloodthirsty tank heard the noise, they had already arrived in front of it. The movements of the two men were almost as if they had rehearsed in advance. They took a step forward and were in front of the bloodthirsty tank. Before it could react, the shield suddenly hit the bloodthirsty tank's forehead, knocking it unconscious.
A huge roar was heard, and the heads of the two bloodthirsty tanks slammed heavily onto the ground, sinking at least ten centimeters into the ground, with dirt and rocks flying everywhere.
Li Chao quickly followed and stabbed two bloodthirsty tanks to death with two consecutive shots. Each bullet penetrated the bloodthirsty tanks' eyes and pierced their heads.
Xiao Yu walked up and wanted to test the defense of this bloodthirsty tank. A cold light flashed, and countless sparks splashed. Although he did not use his full strength, he only used less than 50% of his strength, and he just chopped the scales on the back.
"The defense of this bloodthirsty tank is as strong as steel. The name tank really lives up to its name!" Xiao Yu exclaimed.
The noise here still alarmed the bloodthirsty tank herd, and a primary beast general quickly rushed over with more than ten bloodthirsty tanks.
The seven members of the team quickly moved forward. Xiao Dingguo ran towards the primary beast general in the lead.
The bloodthirsty tank, which was more than three meters tall, saw the human running towards it. Its eyes filled with blood and it kicked its hind legs hard, rushing forward like a huge steel tank.
Xiao Dingguo jumped one level to the top of the bloodthirsty tank, dodged the fangs on the top of the bloodthirsty tank, and attacked the bloodthirsty tank's head four times in a row with his two-handed battle axe, attacking the same position each time.
When the axe was struck for the first time, sparks flew and a mark was left on the axe blade that was five centimeters indented.
The second axe broke the scales on its head and hit his skull, leaving it covered with cracks.
With the third blow, the battle axe broke the skull of the bloodthirsty tank, and part of the brain was brought out.
By the fourth axe, the bloodthirsty tank was developed like a ripe string bean.
"Lao Xiao's Mountain Collapse Axe is still so awesome!" praised Uncle Liu, who had just stabbed a Class F bloodthirsty tank to death with a single shot.
"There are nine styles of the Mountain Collapsing Axe. Each axe is stronger than the last. The ninth axe can split a mountain." Xiao Dingguo said with hope in his eyes.
Liu Yuanping took a step forward, and when the opportunity arose, he fired another shot, piercing the head of an F bloodthirsty tank. The bloodthirsty tank trembled all over, flew backwards, and could never get up again.
An F-class bloodthirsty tank suddenly rushed towards Xiao Yu. Its speed was much faster than that of the tiger cat and was almost the same as that of a unicorn wild boar of the same level. At the moment of collision, Xiao Yu jumped up on the concrete platform in the corner of the wall. At the same time, another bloodthirsty tank crashed towards the place where Xiao Yu landed.
"These monsters are actually cooperating!" Xiao Yu said, exerting strength from his waist and abdomen, activating the first level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Blade. He successfully rotated half a circle in the air, and chopped the head of the bloodthirsty tank with the Silver Moon Saber in his hand, leaving a knife mark, and blood flowed out of the wound. He used the reaction force to land next to the bloodthirsty tank.
The bloodthirsty tank in his hand rushed forward more than ten meters, shook his injured head, and countless drops of blood splashed on the ground.
Although Xiao Yu's sword attack just now did not succeed in killing it, it still caused it to be seriously injured.
Xiao Yu took the lead in launching the attack. With one step forward, he reached the side of the bloodthirsty tank. With a flash of cold light, the tip of the Silver Moon Saber pierced its eyes. With a bang, one of the bloodthirsty tank's eyes burst open, and the eye socket cracked. When the Silver Moon Saber was pulled out, it brought out some red and white mixed paste.
The bloodthirsty tank staggered back a few steps, fell to the ground, and tried to get up again, but failed.
At this time, the bloodthirsty tank that initially attacked Xiao Yu rushed towards him. Xiao Yu dodged, and at the same time, the Silver Moon Saber chopped from back to front on the bent forelimb joint of the bloodthirsty tank. The bloodthirsty tank lost its balance and staggered on the bloodthirsty tank that was trying to get up. The sharp fangs pierced through its other eye and entered its brain, and it trembled all over.
Xiao Yu arrived nearby in an instant, and seeing the bloodthirsty tank shaking its head and tail, trying to pull out its fangs, a cold light flashed, and the first level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Blade was activated again. The Silver Moon Sabre pierced through the bloodthirsty tank's eyeballs and pierced into its head with the force of thunder. The saber was embedded at least ten centimeters, and the bloodthirsty tank trembled all over, but did not die immediately.
In order to prevent the bloodthirsty tank from being completely dead, Xiao Yu stabbed it again at the wound, this time directly penetrating thirty centimeters, and stirred it back and forth to make sure it was completely dead.
"Old Xiao, look, Xiaoyu's swordsmanship has the force of thunder in its movements. He should have reached the first level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword!" Liu Yuanping said.
"Yeah, that's good." Xiao Dingguo replied.
A bloodthirsty tank saw Xiao Dingguo just falling to the ground, and took the opportunity to attack from behind and rushed over. However, due to its huge weight, the sound of its footsteps could not hide its actions at all. Xiao Dingguo turned around and dodged, and the huge axe hit his neck, breaking it and sinking it half a meter into the ground. It glared at the person in front of him, but could not move.
Xiao Dingguo's neck was cut off with the second axe, and blood gushed out.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Dingguo killed two more bloodthirsty tanks.
"Okay, the bloodthirsty tanks outside have been cleared. Let's enter the building and collect materials after they are all cleared." Xiao Dingguo said.
"With such a big commotion, why aren't any bloodthirsty tanks coming out of the building to check?" Uncle Liu said with some confusion.
"Captain, there is a big hole in front of the small square of the building. There should be a parking lot underneath." Zuo Yan said.
"Let's go into the building. The psychic hasn't come out yet. It might be bad if we're too late."
A group of seven entered the building, went up two floors, and found no signs of a fight.
"Let's go to the parking lot and take a look. I guess all the monsters are there," Xiao Dingguo said.
