39: move on

"Understood, Captain."

Qiao Yu nodded weakly, like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing Qiao Yu like this, Gao Feng didn't continue to scold him. He sighed lightly, then smiled again and patted Qiao Yu's back.

"Qiao Yu, in battle, the captain's orders are absolute. This is not only to ensure the team's profits but also for everyone's safety."

"But you did great! This Bloodthirsty Tank is close to the intermediate Beast General Level. The HR Alliance probably offers over twenty million huaxia coin for it. We've already made a profit on this trip, and it's all thanks to you. After it's sold, I'll give you an extra 20% from my share!"

Gao Feng showed a kind smile.

The other team members also smiled and responded to Qiao Yu.

Luo Feng saw that the Fire Hammer Squad members were starting to accept Qiao Yu, and his worries lessened considerably.

"Next, let's check the remaining supplies. Fortunately, no one was injured. If supplies are still sufficient, we can continue onward. As long as we are careful, killing a few more Beast General Rank Monsterss won't be a problem."

Gao Feng ordered. Everyone nodded and immediately began to check their respective supplies.

While Qiao Yu appeared to be checking supplies, his attention had actually already entered his mind. With so many people around earlier, it wasn't convenient for him to wipe out the beast horde in one go.

But now, those beast hordes have probably scattered like birds and beasts, ready for harvesting.

Qiao Yu's mind stirred, communicating with the fungal swarm lurking within the monsters' bodies.

'Hmm? Why are they all dead?'

As soon as he connected with the fungal swarm within the range of the earlier beast horde, the information relayed back was that the group of monsters had all died.

'Every monster is completely dead, so eerie. Could it be that some terrifying existence instantly killed them all?'

Qiao Yu was puzzled. This kind of county-level city area rarely attracted powerful God of War squads; it was mostly ordinary Warrior level squads wandering around.

If that's the case, what kind of existence could have killed them instantly?

It was a pity that the fungal swarm had no self-awareness and could only feedback current information. Since he had been busy following the squad to escape earlier, he hadn't paid attention to the fungal swarm's feedback, missing the opportunity to observe.

Qiao Yu stopped thinking and directly ordered the fungal swarm to devour the thousands of monster corpses one by one. This wave was a huge profit.

Once the fungal nest is successfully established here, it will be equivalent to having a continuous supply of flesh and blood mycelium.

By then, there will no longer be any need to worry about the quantity of flesh and blood mycelium.

It's just a pity that the Soul fungal swarm is currently too weak to survive independently in the air for more than 1 minute. Monsters must be killed at a location closer to the main body to be recovered in time, otherwise Qiao Yu's soul would have been strengthened several times over.

After being devoured, the flesh and blood mycelium spores adhered to the surrounding buildings with the wind, beginning to take root and sprout within the building complex.

The reason Qiao Yu chose a good location for nesting earlier was because the fungal swarm was limited in number, but now, having devoured the flesh and blood mycelium of thousands of Beast Soldier Level monsters, its quantity has reached a terrifying level.

With this quantity, it can now completely adhere to and grow within nearby building complexes.

When the fungal nest releases a scent that attracts monsters, it can then trap them like a turtle in a jar.

Qiao Yu let the fungal swarm operate freely, while the members of the Fire Hammer Squad had also finished checking their supplies.

"The losses are far less than I estimated, only one-third of the supplies were consumed. It seems our journey can still proceed as planned."

Gao Feng said with a smile, and the squad members cheered in unison.

Originally, there weren't many Beast General Rank Monsterss in this kind of county town. If a trip yielded too little profit, everyone would have some complaints.

Next, the Fire Hammer Squad continued their journey according to the original plan.

Opening the warehouse door and seeing that the beast horde had already vanished, Gao Feng led the Fire Hammer Squad through the streets and alleys, heading towards the Haihao Hotel.

Half an hour later.

On the rooftop of the Haihao Hotel.

Everyone was planning to observe the information and locations of nearby Beast General Rank Monsterss from here.

Luo Feng looked at his communication watch; there was a call from home waiting to be returned.

"Hello, big brother."

Luo Hua's voice came from the communication watch.

Luo Feng joked a few words, making everyone present burst into laughter.

"Big brother, Xiao Nan has officially agreed to be my girlfriend. Isn't your little brother amazing?"

Luo Hua's voice was full of joy.

"The road is long and arduous, strive to get married soon!"

Luo Feng said with a laugh.

Luo Hua chatted with Qiao Yu for a few more sentences, and under Qiao Yu's 'indecent' verbal attack, Luo Hua quickly surrendered and hung up the phone.

The other members of the Fire Hammer Squad laughed so hard their thighs were about to swell.

"A-Yu, how come I never knew you were so... saucy before?"

Luo Feng pursed his lips, looking at Qiao Yu curiously.

"Before, my strength couldn't advance, and I was anxious all day long. How could I be in the mood to talk about these things?"

Qiao Yu shook his head with a smile.

Of course, he was talking about his former self. The best accompaniment for men at a drinking table was dirty jokes, history, and international affairs, and as a seasoned veteran in his previous life, he naturally had extraordinary skills in this regard.

"That's true."

Recalling Qiao Yu's past experiences, Luo Feng also nodded in agreement. Seeing Qiao Yu happy now, he was happy for his brother, especially since the two could continue on the path of martial artists together.

"Everyone was rushing last night and just experienced a beast horde. You've worked hard. Now everyone, take a rest. We'll act again in the afternoon!"

"Oh! Time to rest!"

Seeing Gao Feng finally order a rest, everyone raised their hands in excitement, scattering to various corners of the rooftop, leaning or lying down to rest... Thunder God was still flying around above County-level City No. 0201. In his estimation, with the strength of the Fire Hammer Squad, it would be impossible to escape the beast horde unscathed.

But this strange thing happened right before his eyes; the entire Fire Hammer Squad seemed to have vanished into thin air.

But Thunder God knew that the Fire Hammer Squad was definitely still alive, and Qiao Yu was definitely still alive!

Since the county town was a densely built-up area, it would be difficult to find a squad hiding in buildings within the city without following them closely.

"Was this also part of your plan, Qiao Yu?"

Thunder God only then realized that his previous misjudgment was because he had considered Qiao Yu an ordinary Warrior level martial artist, but what if this martial artist had grasped theprototype of a domain?

Although Thunder God didn't know what kind of domain Qiao Yu had mastered, he had witnessed Hong's Light Domain.

Hong had enlightened himself and mastered a domain under the threat of death, and Qiao Yu might also have improved his understanding of domains due to this life-and-death crisis.

"When I was watching, you didn't make a move, but as soon as I was slightly negligent, you unleashed a big move. Qiao Yu, right? Very good, extremely good. When you come under my command in the future, you'll have a lot to experience!"
