40: Limb regeneration
At dusk.
Outside County-level City No. 0201, the Tiger Tooth Squad all arrived in the city.
"Our only target this time is that injured Silver Moon Fierce Wolf. No matter how injured it is, it's still a High-Level Beast General, so we can't be careless. Everyone must avoid fighting other monsters; dodge if you can, and face that old fellow in your best condition!"
The lean captain of the Tiger Tooth Squad commanded.

The other team members nodded solemnly. When dealing with a High-Level Beast General, no amount of caution is too much. A dying counterattack from a monster of this level would be enough to wipe out the entire Tiger Tooth Squad.
However, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish. This Silver Moon Fierce Wolf is more than ten times more valuable than other Elementary Beast General monsters.
"If we encounter other squads trying to snatch it from us, kill without mercy!"
"Move out!"
The Tiger Tooth Squad's captain revealed a sharp gaze and said fiercely.
In the Wilderness Area, no one cares if you're human or monster. Even colleagues from the same martial arts hall can kill each other for profit.
The Tiger Tooth Squad came to the rooftop of a six-story residential building to observe the distribution of monsters in the city. Six team members were looking through binoculars when the one-eyed middle-aged team member, who had a good relationship with Zhang Zehu, called out,
"Captain, it's the Fire Hammer Squad!"
The lean captain heard this and quickly snatched the one-eyed man's binoculars.
"Damn, why is it still a monocular?"
The one-eyed middle-aged man looked at the lean captain expressionlessly, scratched his head, and without speaking, pointed to his other blind eye.
The lean captain also stared blankly at the one-eyed middle-aged man, then reacted and scolded,
"Why are you so loud?"
Seeing the Fire Hammer Squad members encircling and killing a Two-Tailed Tiger Cat not far away, the captain asked curiously,
"How did the Fire Hammer Squad also come to this county? The profits here are too low; generally, no Warlord Level squad would specifically come here."
The one-eyed middle-aged man replied,
"It's probably because they brought two new recruits. They probably want to give the new recruits some experience here. Hmph, Gao Feng truly lives up to his reputation; he can even directly confront an Elementary Warlord Level monster without losing. I've long heard his strength is close to a Mid-Level Warlord."
As soon as Zhang Zehu heard that the Fire Hammer Squad had brought new recruits, he quickly took out his binoculars and looked in the direction of the Fire Hammer Squad. When he saw Qiao Yu and Luo Feng, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.
"It truly is the Fire Hammer Squad, and those two bastards, Qiao Yu and Luo Feng."
"Captain! These two people swindled me out of two hundred million huaxia coin. It's rare to have such good luck meeting them in the Wilderness Area; we can't let them go! How about we take advantage of our geographical superiority and snipe them from a distance now?"
Zhang Zehu said fiercely.
The other team members were slightly startled to hear Zhang Zehu say this.
They had also killed other martial artists, but mostly due to conflicts over monster corpse materials.
But in this situation... the lean captain's eyes darted around, and he also smiled sinisterly,
"Alright, how about this. A Xiao, A Dong, you two use sniper rifles to shoot two of them, pick the weaker ones. That can slow them down, and then shoot the monster groups near them to draw the beast horde over."
"These monsters are close to them, so they'll definitely smell human scent on them. Using them as bait to attract monsters, we can then slip away unharmed."
Hearing this, the squad members suddenly understood and nodded in agreement, the evil within their human nature gradually sprouting.
Zhang Zehu watched Qiao Yu and Luo Feng's figures, grinding his teeth in hatred.
"A Xiao, A Dong, do you see those two young ones? They're the ones who swindled me out of two hundred million, and they're the weakest. Shooting them both will also help a brother vent his anger."
"Alright, leave it to us, Huzhi."
The lean captain ordered.
"Do it."
A Xiao and A Dong no longer hesitated, immediately pulling out two heavy sniper rifles and setting them up on the eaves.
Zhang Zehu watched the Fire Hammer Squad successfully hunt the Two-Tailed Tiger Cat, and now that all members were in their most relaxed state, he showed a cold smile.
"My money isn't that easy to take. I'm afraid you'll have the money but not the life to spend it..."
Adjusting the scope, aiming, everything was ready.
"Kill!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
With the lean captain's command, two heavy gunshots rang out consecutively, and two bullets broke through the atmosphere.
Although the sound was loud, the bullets' speed exceeded the speed of sound, and the Fire Hammer Squad was still immersed in the joy of hunting the Two-Tailed Tiger Cat.
"Brother Tie truly lives up to his name, 'Tie' (Iron) in his name, tough as nails!"
Qiao Yu teased Wei Tie.
"You scared me, I saw you spitting blood, but now you're perfectly fine."
Luo Feng also laughed.
"Luo Feng, remember to preserve that tendon from the Two-Tailed Tiger Cat, it's really valuable! Whether it's Heaven on Earth or the alley entrance depends on it when we get back."
Zhang Ke also hooked Qiao Yu's shoulder, pointing at Luo Feng, who was cutting the Two-Tailed Tiger Cat's tail, joking around and making everyone burst into laughter.
"Hmm?"
Luo Feng immediately felt something was wrong. His breathing quickened, and his dynamic vision caught the air current forming a shockwave in the distance, immediately identifying it as a bullet.
Extreme tension and the human survival instinct caused Luo Feng's entire body and mind to adjust to their peak in an instant.
The sudden crisis made Luo Feng instinctively swing his blood shadow battle blade at the incoming bullet, and after this powerful strike, another hidden force emerged.
Luo Feng successfully mastered the first layer of Nine-Layered Thunder Blade through this ordeal.
And the bullet, tearing through the sky, naturally disrupted the spores densely spread in the air by Qiao Yu.
The spores floating in the air instantly gave him feedback.
"Not good!"
Qiao Yu quickly lunged to the side, and at this moment, Zhang Ke's hand was still on his shoulder, causing Zhang Ke to be pulled along by Qiao Yu.
"Clang!"
"Bang!"
Luo Feng, wielding the blood shadow battle blade, successfully hit the armor-piercing sniper bullet at extreme speed, knocking it down.
However, the shot originally aimed at Qiao Yu's head instantly blew open Zhang Ke's right shoulder, leaving only a bloody mess, with Zhang Ke's severed arm still flying in the air.
"Ah!"
Zhang Ke's entire face instantly flushed red with pain, and he desperately clutched the mangled flesh of his shoulder, which looked like a cross-section.
The high temperature from the bullet's impact and explosion cooked the muscles in Zhang Ke's shoulder, and blood flowed profusely.
"It's a sniper bullet!"
Gao Feng's rough, millstone-sized face was covered in blood sprayed from Zhang Ke, but it couldn't hide Gao Feng's rage in the slightest.
"Enemy attack!"
"Damn it, which bastard was that!"
As soon as the Wei Brothers spoke, Gao Feng quickly pulled him away. The entire squad immediately left their original position, knowing that staying put with a sniper meant certain death.
Sure enough, there were four more consecutive gunshots. Although they didn't know which direction the shots were fired, they had found the origin of the sound.
All members of the Fire Hammer Squad glared, staring intently at the source of the gunshots.
A few figures in the distance flickered and disappeared into hiding, but Gao Feng, with his strength close to a Mid-Level Warlord, still caught sight of one of them.
"It's someone from the Tiger Tooth Squad!"
Gao Feng roared, his eyes so sharp they could almost kill.
"Tiger Tooth Squad! Zhang Zehu!"
Luo Feng was consumed by rage, his entire face flushed red.
"Old Zhang!"
The group hid in a safe location before checking Zhang Ke's injuries.
Zhang Ke's face was now pale from excessive blood loss, and the bleeding from his severed right shoulder had slowed, clearly indicating insufficient blood supply within his body.
"Qiao Yu, quickly, get the medical kit and bandage Old Zhang!"
The Wei Brothers anxiously said to Qiao Yu, their tone full of worry.
Qiao Yu picked up the medical kit from his backpack and walked over, but did not immediately bandage Zhang Ke.
"Qiao Yu?"
The Wei Brothers were puzzled, their faces anxious, even somewhat annoyed at Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu took out a test tube, pulled off the stopper, and poured the scarlet liquid inside onto Zhang Ke's severed shoulder.
