34: First exploration of the wilderness area

"Alright, with Luo Feng's current physical conditioning, he should be more than capable of fighting that high-level Beast Soldier Level monster. Killing it might be a bit difficult, but that's what makes it a trial!"

The eldest of the Wei Brothers, Wei Tie, said.

"Hmm, it doesn't matter if he fails anyway, we've got his back."

The second brother, Wei Qing, shared the same thought.

Luo Feng nodded to the Wei Brothers and Gao Feng, then charged forward like a nimble leopard.

The entire Fire Hammer Squad watched with great interest as Luo Feng, the newcomer, fought his first battle in the Wilderness Area.

Meanwhile, Qiao Yu looked around at the surroundings. The sky was cloudless, with only a bright moon shining high above.

There were no buildings around, only various fields and jungles. The green leaves reflected the moonlight, as if clad in silver armor.

In front, the Fire Hammer Squad watched Luo Feng's battle with relish, praising him repeatedly.

Behind them, Qiao Yu was spreading spores into the air, trying to make them diffuse as far as possible.

He wanted to calculate the density of monsters within the spore's range. Although the fungal swarm could survive and nest in such desolate areas, it was still in the early stages of nesting and required more flesh and blood mycelium for initial accumulation.

'Most monsters live in densely built-up areas. This desolate region might not be suitable as a base.'

Thinking this, Qiao Yu shook his head, feeling a little bored.

High above the Fire Hammer Squad, a bald monk was carefully observing the movements of this group.

He paid particular attention to Qiao Yu, who stood at the very back.

"This kid is so alert? I'm three thousand meters above him and he can still sense my gaze? Is it because of his 'domain' again?"

"When will this kid make a move? I still want to see a glimpse of his domain."

Thunder God sat cross-legged high in the sky, looking at Qiao Yu, who was as small as an ant beneath his feet, and rubbed his chin, pondering.

At this moment, Qiao Yu couldn't possibly notice someone watching him from three thousand meters above. After sensing only a few dozen scattered monsters in this desolate area, he stopped observing and turned his attention to Luo Feng's battle.

"Captain, Luo Feng's reaction is pretty good, isn't it? Qiao Yu, you should also watch more; observing others' actual combat is beneficial for your own cultivation."

Chen Gu said with a smile, reminding Qiao Yu.

"It's quite good. I thought he'd have a harder time, but Luo Feng's fundamentals are very solid. He's dodged or cleverly deflected several attacks with his shield."

Gao Feng nodded in satisfaction. If Luo Feng had this kind of strength, he could perfectly cooperate with the team, and even hunting a low-level Beast General Level monster wouldn't be a hindrance.

Qiao Yu heard Chen Gu mention him and also nodded in a feigned manner.

"Indeed, Luo Feng has always been a great teacher and helpful friend to me. There's a lifetime of learning from Feng Feng!"

Wei Tie and Wei Qing's expressions also softened considerably at this time, and their acceptance of Luo Feng increased significantly, but they still spoke with arrogance.

"Let's talk after he actually kills this Horned Wild Boar!"

The battle between Luo Feng and the Horned Wild Boar was fierce. The Horned Wild Boar was constantly wounded, gradually losing its sanity and becoming increasingly frenzied, but Luo Feng was always able to cleverly dodge its charged attacks.

"Such agile movement!"

"This kid is very strong, but just dodging won't kill the monster. The difference between wild and captive ones isn't small."

Because the cultivation of the Micro-level Movement Technique was exceedingly difficult, the Wei Brothers didn't know that Luo Feng's movement technique had already reached the Micro-level. They only thought his movement technique was exquisite.

Gao Feng also thought highly of Luo Feng and commented at the same time.

As time passed, the Horned Wild Boar began to show fatigue. Luo Feng seized the moment of its exhaustion, striking continuously with his blood shadow battle blade, cutting off two-thirds of its neck.

The tenacious Horned Wild Boar did not die immediately. Instead, with its neck gushing blood like a faucet, it crashed into a nearby highway guardrail and rolled down.

Luo Feng leaped down, took the Horned Wild Boar's single horn, and then returned to the Fire Hammer Squad.

"That's truly insane!"

"Luo Feng, you're the true humanoid monster!"

Everyone chattered excitedly, their faces beaming with smiles. At this point, the entire Fire Hammer Squad had completely accepted Luo Feng.

Qiao Yu stood behind everyone, seemingly an outsider, but he didn't care. He just quietly controlled the spores in the air to drift towards the corpse of the Horned Wild Boar under the highway.

In just a moment, the Horned Wild Boar, forgotten in the corner by everyone, had all its flesh devoured by the flesh and blood mycelium, leaving nothing but feces and some dark, dirty impurities, not even bones.

Since Beast Soldier Level monsters can be encircled and suppressed by the military using thermal weapons, their materials are not valuable, except for certain specific valuable parts.

No squad would specifically carry the entire corpse of a Beast Soldier Level monster with them, as that would only waste their time and energy.

Only the military has the capability to transport these Beast Soldier Level monster's flesh by the truckload back to the Base City for internal rations or sale.

'Good, this Horned Wild Boar weighs about 2 tons, with approximately 8,000 catties of flesh. That's about 800,000 milliliters of flesh and blood mycelium. Just a few more, and it'll be enough to equip Luo Hua with a flesh and blood prosthetic limb.'

'Soul fungal swarm is still as scarce as ever. It seems that unless there's a leap across a major level, the soul level of monsters won't improve much.'

Qiao Yu calculated carefully in his mind.

"Luo Feng, your performance just now was only passable. Your movement technique is good, but the efficiency is too low. If every monster is dealt with so time-consumingly, it's too much of a waste of time. Watch how I handle it later."

"And you, Qiao Yu, don't always space out. You need to learn and think more! Improve your strength sooner so you can integrate into the team faster."

Although Wei Tie had accepted Luo Feng in his heart, his arrogant personality made him keep a cold face. He also saw Qiao Yu lost in thought while converting the fungal swarm, mistakenly thinking he was daydreaming.

"Understood, Brother Tie."

Qiao Yu did not retort, just smiled and nodded. He could tell that the Wei Brothers were cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and he didn't reject their lecturing.

The group continued forward, encountering another high-level Beast Soldier Level monster, a Tiger Cat, along the way. This purely carnivorous monster was far more agile and ferocious than the Horned Wild Boar.

"Watch closely!"

Wei Tie said no more, holding a shield in his left hand and a scimitar in his right, and swiftly charged towards the Tiger Cat.

As Wei Tie collided head-on with the Tiger Cat, he seized the opportunity to execute an Iron Mountain Lean, directly disrupting the Tiger Cat's balance and exposing its weakness.

With a swift slash, the Tiger Cat fell to the ground, blood gushing out. After a few pained cries, it breathed its last.

Luo Feng was in shock. This was the first time he had directly felt the gap in practical combat skills compared to experienced martial artists.

Qiao Yu clapped. Before, he had only sparred with Luo Feng, both stopping at a certain point and not thinking of any killing moves.

Now, seeing Wei Tie's practical application, he learned a lot... "Yawn..."

"Qiao Yu, Qiao Yu, why aren't you making a move yet?"

Thunder God yawned while sitting three thousand meters high in the sky, his head constantly drooping and rising like he was fishing, his eyes barely able to stay open.
