42: Thor's doubts

"Hmm?"

Thunder God naturally noticed the conflict between Fire Hammer Squad and Tiger Tooth Squad, but he certainly would not interfere in the disputes between Martial Artists, leaving the members of Fire Hammer Squad to handle it themselves.

Just now, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of something unusual happening with the Tiger Tooth Squad a few kilometers away; one of their members suddenly exploded, followed immediately by the others exploding one after another.

"A long-range attack type monster?"

Thunder God flashed over to the roof of the residential building where Tiger Tooth Squad was located and crouched down to investigate something.

"What is this?"

Thunder God picked up some of the festering flesh and blood from the ground and rubbed it between his fingertips, discovering that both the surface and the interior of this flesh contained a red and white filamentous substance. Moreover, this filamentous substance seemed to possess life, constantly devouring the remaining flesh.

Within just a few seconds, the flesh and blood on the ground was completely devoured, and the flesh and blood mycelium took root directly on the concrete surface of the roof, continuously spreading and extending.

Thunder God frowned as he watched this scene, his vigilance growing ever stronger.

"Could it be that a new type of monster that has never been discovered before has appeared?"

Thunder God looked around again and only found a few Warlord Level monsters.

"What kind of monster could instantly annihilate a Warlord Level squad from a distance? And yet, even I, a Planetary Level, didn't notice a thing."

"No, this matter could be small or big; I must be vigilant and discuss it with Hong."

Thunder God took out his battle blade, cut the concrete floor contaminated by the fungal swarm into pieces, shouldered the whole load, braced his legs, and soared into the air, flying toward his warplane.

...

"Roar!"

"Awoo!"

Before the members of Fire Hammer Squad could rejoice for long over Zhang Ke's recovered arm, the noisy roars of monsters already echoed all around them.

"Not good, so this was their goal all along!"

"They want to kill us all!"

"Run!"

Gao Feng shouted hurriedly upon hearing the roars of the monster horde.

It was truly one disaster after another; encountering two monster hordes in a single operation could only be described as unlucky.

They saw the monster horde stampeding toward them, kicking up clouds of dust, dense and numerous like bees leaving a hive, with over a thousand monsters charging at Fire Hammer Squad.

"Brothers, let's run for our lives separately. If we disperse our targets, if at least one of us can survive, that's better than all of us being wiped out together."

Gao Feng said with red eyes while running.

Luo Feng also glared with wide, blood-red eyes, secretly feeling that Zhang Zehu must be behind this. It was all because he and Qiao Yu had forced Zhang Zehu to spend two hundred million; otherwise, Tiger Tooth Squad would not have attacked them without reason.

The conflict had originally arisen from his clash with Zhang Haobai, yet now the entire Fire Hammer Squad had to pay the price. He felt guilty and would absolutely not accept this.

With this thought, Luo Feng shuddered and decided not to hold back his methods any longer.

"Captain! Brothers! And Qiao Yu, all of you follow me! Everyone must go back alive!"

Only a few swishing sounds were heard as several flying knives, as if imbued with life, circled around Luo Feng.

"Telekinesis! Luo Feng, you are a Psycher Master!"

Seeing the six flying knives hovering and flying around Luo Feng, Gao Feng and the other Fire Hammer Squad members all exclaimed in astonishment.

Qiao Yu, on the other hand, appeared relatively calm, as he had long known about Luo Feng's identity as a Psycher Master.

"Everyone, follow closely behind Luo Feng!"

Gao Feng was flushed with excitement and shouted loudly.

Luo Feng's gaze was icy, he gritted his teeth, and the flying knives hovering around him instantly launched.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Several silver afterimages flashed by instantly. With a few squelching sounds, the heads of several monsters running in the front row were instantly pierced through, and they collapsed to the ground, their massive bodies trampled into meat paste by the horde behind them in mere moments.

More swishing sounds of breaking air followed, and the heads of dozens of monsters closest to Luo Feng and the others sprayed out streaks of blood, with red and white matter interweaving and spurting out.

Without exception, every monster that approached within twenty meters of Fire Hammer Squad died under Luo Feng's flying knives.

This efficiency in killing monsters left Gao Feng, the Wei Brothers, Zhang Ke, and Chen Gu dumbfounded.

Qiao Yu saw that Luo Feng's face was flushed red and his pupils were slightly unfocused, knowing in his heart that Luo Feng was consuming Mental Energy too quickly.

He immediately stopped holding back. While Luo Feng's flying knives were attracting everyone's attention, he let the surrounding spores form a perimeter with a radius of one hundred meters.

With a few muffled thuds—the sounds were not even as loud as Luo Feng's flying knives cutting through the Void Realm—hundreds of stampeding monsters died instantly as their internal organs exploded, collapsing one after another.

Even though more and more monsters were being killed, the number of the horde did not seem to decrease at all.

Qiao Yu estimated that this monster horde might number four or five thousand. The four shots fired by Tiger Tooth Squad had at least provoked four monster herds of over a thousand each.

"Damn, this Psycher Master is truly freakish. If everyone were a Psycher Master, I'm afraid my job as a sniper would be obsolete."

Chen Gu exclaimed, worried about his future status in the team.

"Do you think Psycher Masters are a dime a dozen? Don't they need to consume Mental Energy?"

"Hurry up and find a good place to hide, stop talking so much. This monster horde isn't decreasing at all; there are a thousand now, but soon there might be four or five thousand, and if ten thousand monsters come running later, you'll have plenty to play with."

Gao Feng was furious; they were in such a situation and he still had the mood to chat. It actually made Gao Feng laugh out of frustration.

"Climb over the wall!"

Seeing that everyone had escaped to a wall, Luo Feng gave an order, and everyone leaped over it.

Utilizing the short-term visual obstruction of the wall, the group quickly turned into a small street, instantly shaking off more than half of the monster horde.

After making turns on a few more streets, the monster horde was finally dispersed, and only then could they truly be considered to have shaken off the horde.

The group hid on the rooftop of a residential building, locked the door tightly, and only then did they let out a sigh of relief.

"Huff, huff, it's all thanks to Luo Feng controlling the flying knives to buy time for the Fire Hammer Squad to escape; otherwise, we would have really been done for here."

"Fortunately, my injuries have recovered; otherwise, I'm afraid I would have just been a burden to you all."

Zhang Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting heavily.

"What are you saying? Not abandoning and not giving up is our motto."

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

"It's all the fault of those bastards in the Tiger Tooth Squad. I, Gao Feng, will definitely make them pay in blood!"

"This time it's really thanks to Luo Feng. Luo Feng, are you a Psycher Master?"

Gao Feng clenched his fists and slammed them hard against a nearby iron pipe, bending a long section of it.

Luo Feng knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he simply admitted it directly.

"It's so obvious, I'm sure you all could have guessed it. That's right, I'm not pretending anymore; I am a Psycher Master!"

After saying this, Luo Feng revealed a helpless smile.

"Hahahaha, great, this is really great! Who would have thought that our Fire Hammer Squad would actually welcome a Psycher Master! Mmph..."

Gao Feng clapped his hands and laughed loudly, but before he could laugh for long, Chen Gu hurriedly covered his mouth, fearing they would attract another monster horde.

Qiao Yu showed his white teeth and smiled, saying:

"Luo Feng, you even hid this from me? You've really let your brother down!"

Luo Feng scratched his head in embarrassment.

Seeing that Qiao Yu had finally caught up to him, he was afraid that Qiao Yu would feel a psychological gap because he was a Psycher Master, causing Qiao Yu to revert to his original gloomy, quiet personality.
