Chapter 251 An unexpected gain
"not bad."

This military achievement put him more than three million points ahead of the second-place finisher.

More importantly, he obtained the airdropped supplies that triggered this incident—a life detector and a flat metal box.

He first picked up the life detector and examined it carefully.

This thing is small in size, similar to an enhanced tactical flashlight.

Once activated, an invisible wave spread out from him, affecting all life forms within a radius of three hundred meters.

Even if someone deliberately conceals their presence, it will be displayed on the detector's small screen as light spots of varying intensities.

It can even roughly distinguish energy levels.

This is extremely helpful for searching for targets in complex underground environments, especially for avoiding unnecessary trouble or discovering hidden enemies.

Then, he opened the metal box.

Inside was not a physical map, but a chip the size of a fingernail that shimmered faintly.

Xu Feng attached it close to his tactical watch.

"Beep! Encrypted data received, verification passed. Loading Lord-level creature distribution map."

After a while.

A complex and detailed three-dimensional map was displayed on the screen of the tactical watch.

It was a structural diagram of the vast beast-infested area where they were located.

On the map, more than a dozen locations are marked with a prominent red cursor, along with brief annotations:

[Eastern Cave Area, novice lord 'Golden Claw Gold-Eating Beast', suspected to be living in a group]

[West section of the underground river, mid-level lord 'Black-Winged Bat King', solitary, highly poisonous]

[On the edge of the lava zone, there dwells the high-ranking lord 'Flame Armored Earth Dragon,' possessing an extremely strong sense of territory.]

In addition, some areas on the map are even marked as "unknown danger" or "suspected high-level lord's lair".

"nice one!"

A look of delight flashed in Xu Feng's eyes.

With this map, he no longer had to wander aimlessly through the vast beast den like a headless fly.

It can directly target the objective, greatly improving efficiency.

The time saved is crucial, whether for hunting down more lords or dealing with other emergencies.

After taking stock of the most important spoils, a strong sense of hunger followed.

The energy consumption of high-intensity combat is staggering.

Xu Feng took out high-energy compressed rations from his backpack.

He didn't rush to eat the dry rations, but instead glanced at a corner of the cave.

There were several pieces of completely dried droppings left by an unknown animal, as well as some scattered, equally dry, small twigs.

These plants may be the roots of some underground plants or surface branches blown in by the wind.

After collecting the combustibles, he took out an alloy shovel and used the edge of the shovel to scrape the surface of a relatively flat stone.

Stab it!

A few sparks flew out and landed on the dry ignition material.

Xu Feng bent down and carefully blew air into his skin.

Soon, a tiny flame flickered up, then gradually grew larger, eventually forming a small, stable campfire.

The orange-red firelight illuminated the cavern, dispelling the cold and dampness within.

He heated the kettle by the fire while stringing the compressed rations onto sharpened branches and slowly heating them over the flames.

Soon, the water boiled, and the rations emitted a warm, slightly burnt aroma.

They ate the grilled food while drinking hot water.

In this perilous underground beast den, a rare sense of peace and tranquility also arose.

As he ate, he once again carefully studied the lord distribution map on his wrist.

"A beginner-level lord earns 1 million military merits, a mid-level lord earns 1000 million, and a high-level lord earns 100 million. That's a tenfold difference."

Xu Feng pondered.

"With my current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to hunt down a mid-level lord on my own."

High-ranking lords will need to put in some effort, but it's worth a try.

His gaze fell on the bright red cursor representing "Flame Armor Earth Dragon".

"1 million military merits. The risk is extremely high, but the reward is also extremely high."

If we can successfully hunt down even one, we can almost certainly secure victory!

However, he was not blinded by his enormous military achievements.

High-level lords are beings comparable to high-level human war gods or even approaching the ultimate war god.

It is even stronger in some aspects.

Taking on this challenge alone is too risky.

If you make a mistake, you may not only be eliminated, but you may even be in mortal danger.

Moreover, once the fighting starts, the commotion will be enormous, which makes it easy for others to reap the benefits.

Not cost-effective.

"Then let's start by killing the lower-ranking lords, starting with the easy ones and moving on to the difficult ones, taking a steady and methodical approach."

Xu Feng quickly devised a strategy.

"Among the many lord-level creatures, the Black-winged Bat King is probably the one that no one wants to touch, because its mobility is too strong."

Moreover, highly poisonous substances inevitably inspire fear.

That's it, kill it first!

If a suitable opportunity arises along the way, or if other powerful individuals are also eyeing the high-ranking lord.

Perhaps we could try to "fish in troubled waters"

He believed that there were certainly many strong individuals who used the same strategy as him.

He swallowed the last bite of food and drank the hot water in the kettle.

The embers of the campfire still emitted a final warmth.

After resting, I'm fully refreshed and have a clear goal.

Xu Feng stood up and stomped out the embers of the campfire, making sure no sparks remained.

He then straightened his combat uniform, checked his combat knife and throwing knives, and clipped the life detector to his waist.

His gaze returned to the deep darkness outside the cave, his eyes sharp as knives.

"Dry!"

He chuckled softly and strode forward, heading straight for the nearest underground river, following the map.

Just as Xu Feng was heading straight for the underground river.

Somewhere in the beast's den.

Wang Zheng was squatting behind a campfire, looking at a young man in black opposite him with a slightly wary expression.

Xi Yu, standing to the side, rested one hand on his sword and crouched down, clearly showing extreme fear of this person's strength.

Zhang Changgong smiled slightly and poked at the campfire with the branch in his hand: "We're old acquaintances, why be so wary of me?"

Why not join forces to take down that top player and split his points?

Wang Zheng slowly relaxed his body, sat down, and frowned, saying, "Explain in detail."

"I heard he was a force to be reckoned with at your base, defeating many top fighters. Aren't you angry?"

Zhang Changgong said with a smile.

Wang Zheng rolled his eyes: "Do I look like an idiot to you?"

Zhang Changgong waved his hand slightly: "Hehe, it doesn't matter. Let's join forces and take him down. Do you dare?"

After a slight hesitation, Wang Zheng immediately agreed: "Let's do it!"

But then he turned and said, "But do you know where he is? We were only able to pinpoint his location because of the airdrop."

“I know,” Zhang Changgong said with a smile, “Now that he has the lord-level map, which one do you think he will deal with first?”

"Which one?" Wang Zheng asked, squinting.

“Of course it’s the Blackwing Bat King,” Zhang Changgong said with a faint smile.

"I see." Wang Zheng understood the reason after a moment's thought.

Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes: "But we don't know where the Blackwing Bat King is either!"

Zhang Changgong waved the tactical watch on his arm: "I passed by there before and made a note of it. It was fate."

Wang Zheng raised an eyebrow: "Lucky bastard, let's go!"

Xi Yu was about to speak when he saw Zhang Changgong turn to look at him: "You're too bad, play by yourself."

Xi Yu's face immediately darkened, and he was about to speak when Wang Zheng waved his hand at him: "I'll come find you after I've dealt with that guy."

You go ahead and act first, just in case something happens to both of us.

"What if?" Zhang Changgong raised an eyebrow. "Haven't seen you for months, why have you become so cowardly?"

Wang Zheng sneered and glanced at him: "The final result of the military exercise also includes team scores. Even if you don't consider myself, you should consider our Base No. 3."

Unlike you, I don't act alone and have absolutely no sense of collective honor.

Zhang Changgong sneered, "Lions and tigers often hunt alone; only sheep stick together!"

Xi Yu scoffed from the side, "Bullshit, lions are clearly social animals."

Zhang Changgong rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with him, and turned around, saying, "Hurry up."

Wang Zheng patted Xi Yu on the shoulder: "Let's go."

Xu Feng moved like the wind, quickly traversing the underground passage.

The target is the western section of the underground river where the "Blackwing Bat King" lair, marked on the map, is located.

The life detector occasionally emits a soft buzzing sound, indicating the presence of life nearby.

But most of them were just scattered beast-soldier level creatures, which he couldn't be bothered with and simply passed by.

Just as he passed through a spacious cavern filled with stalactites.

A burst of sounds of fierce fighting and terrified shouts came from the fork in the road ahead.

"Stop them! Don't let these beasts get near!"

"Too much! Brother Wang, I can't handle it anymore!"

"Watch out for their mouthparts! They're poisonous!"

"what!"

"Little Zhao! Damn it! Kill them!"

"Brother Wang, don't be impulsive!"

Xu Feng frowned slightly, and his mental power extended forward like an invisible tentacle, instantly "seeing" the scene two hundred meters ahead clearly.

A small team of five novice warriors was being besieged by a large swarm of black-winged vampire bats!
These vampire bats are individually no stronger than high-ranking beast soldiers to low-ranking beast generals.

But there were a huge number of them, a dark mass, probably two or three hundred!
They take advantage of the complex environment at the top of the cave to constantly swoop down and attack, moving with ghostly speed.

The five warriors, with their backs against a huge stone pillar, were fighting desperately, but were in grave danger.

Everyone was wounded; defeat was only a matter of time.

"You're lucky."

Xu Feng flashed and headed straight for the cave.

He is not a cold-blooded person, and the rules of the military exercise also encourage mutual assistance.

next moment.

He flashed and appeared at the edge of the battle as if he had teleported!

"Everyone gather here!!"

With a low shout, twenty throwing knives shot out instantly!

But this time, the force contained in the throwing knife was controlled with extreme precision.

Boo hoo hoo-!
The throwing knives transformed into streaks of silver, precisely piercing the heads or hearts of the vampire bats.

But not so badly as to smash them to pieces, lest blood and filth splatter everywhere.

At the same time, the trajectory of the throwing knife was incredibly cunning, perfectly avoiding the human martial artists below.

Extremely efficient, like Death calling roll!

"Puff puff!!"

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of loud thuds echoed as the black-winged bats plummeted from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The once overwhelming swarm of bats was cleared out in large swaths at a visible speed!
The five warriors, whose pressure had suddenly eased, were taken aback.

He then looked at Xu Feng, who appeared as if a divine soldier had descended from the heavens, with wild joy.

"Quickly, gather them together!"

The group shouted excitedly and quickly gathered together to form a defensive formation.

Only after the remaining bats scattered and fled did the scene quiet down, leaving only the hurried breathing of a few people in lingering fear.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior!" The leading general quickly clasped his hands in thanks to Xu Feng.

"It's nothing, just passing by. Hurry up and deal with the poison." Xu Feng nodded slightly, glanced at the group, and after confirming that they were alright, prepared to leave.

His time is valuable.

"senior."

The young man who appeared to be the team leader stepped forward, respectfully clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute, and said, "Thank you so much. We are from the 'Rock Squad' of Base B4. Please feel free to call upon us if you need anything in the future."

As he spoke, the young man took the opportunity to exchange contact numbers with Xu Feng.

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Feng's gaze inadvertently swept over another person.

A young warrior leans against a rock wall, grimacing as he tends to a wound on his arm.

As the man moved, the back of his combat uniform was scraped by the rocks, lifting it up slightly and revealing a small patch of bronze skin.

On that patch of skin, Xu Feng saw a rather large, slightly lighter-colored scar with an irregular, net-like pattern!

The scar looked like an old injury, and the mark left after some kind of large-area peeling, which was out of place with the texture of the surrounding healthy skin.

Xu Feng paused slightly.

This scar... looks familiar.

Never mind, time is of the essence.

Xu Feng waved his hand and said, "This place is not safe to stay for long. You should leave as soon as possible and find a safe place to rest."

"Yes, yes, thank you for reminding us! We'll be going now!"

The team leader quickly responded.

Xu Feng nodded and said no more.

He turned and quickly left, his figure soon disappearing at the other end of the canyon.

The group of warriors looked in the direction where Xu Feng had disappeared, breathed a sigh of relief with a hint of regret, and began to treat their injuries, preparing to retreat.

However, just one minute later.

Swish!
Xu Feng's figure returned, appearing like a ghost before the group of warriors who had just relaxed.

His gaze was like lightning, locking onto the young general with a net-like scar on his back.

The powerful mental force descended like an invisible mountain, instantly suppressing the young warrior and pinning him to the spot, rendering him unable to move!

"Senior?" The captain also sensed that something was wrong.

Somewhat nervously, he looked at Xu Feng, who had returned with a cold expression.

Xu Feng ignored him and walked step by step toward the warrior with the scar on his back.

His steps were slow, but each step seemed to tread on the heartbeats of everyone present, and an invisible sense of oppression spread out.

The faces of the others turned deathly pale instantly.

The joy of surviving the ordeal vanished, replaced by immense fear and bewilderment.

They thought Xu Feng had changed his mind and was going to steal their meager points!

"Senior! We can give you all our points! Please, have mercy!"

The captain's voice trembled, and the others also shuddered.

They couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

The warrior with the scar on his back was even more tense, his head lowered, not daring to meet Xu Feng's gaze.

My fingers turned slightly white from the force I applied.

Xu Feng ignored everyone else and walked straight to the young warrior who was being suppressed by telekinesis.

He stared at him coldly: "How did you get those scars on your back?"

Everyone was stunned by these words.

Including that young general.

They originally thought Xu Feng was after military merit.

I never imagined it was all because of this scar?
A barely perceptible hint of panic flashed in the young general's eyes.

Although the fear instantly overwhelmed him, how could he escape Xu Feng's mental perception?
He stammered, "It's from a previous mission, I was injured by... a corrosive vine, that's what left this mark."

"Corrosive vines?" Xu Feng's lips curled into a cold smile. "What kind of vines could leave such neat, net-like scars?"

Moreover, the texture of this scar doesn't resemble that of an ordinary skin injury.

He stepped forward, and the powerful pressure made the young general almost suffocate.

"Let me guess, the feeling of having your 'monk's robes' removed is not pleasant, is it?"

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the general's ears!

His pupils contracted sharply, and all the color drained from his face instantly!

Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

Sun Guozhu trembled violently and slowly, with great difficulty, looked up at Xu Feng.

His face was pale, his eyes darted around, and he forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace: "Senior, I don't understand what this means."

Seeing his reaction, Xu Feng was already certain.

He stopped talking nonsense and suddenly tightened his mental focus.

At the same time, with a precise control of his mental storm, the young general groaned and fainted on the spot.

"this!!"

The others instantly drew their swords, looking at Xu Feng with surprise and uncertainty.

But after instinctively drawing his knife, the captain quickly waved his hand and said, "Put down your weapons!"

The other team members looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

Pan Yan, the captain of the Rock Squad, swallowed hard, keenly sensing the abnormality. He clasped his hands in a fist and asked Xu Feng, "Please tell us, senior, why did you attack Xiao Sun?"

Xu Feng turned his head and glanced at them.

These people are all Sun Guozhu's teammates, and if Sun Guozhu is indeed a member of the Extinction Heart Cult, then all of them are suspects.

Xu Feng never expected that participating in a military exercise would lead to the discovery of a person suspected to be a member of the Extinction Heart Cult!
This is really an unexpected bonus.

"Inform me? Put down your weapons, and stand in the corner one by one. You start, introduce yourself."

Xu Feng glanced at the time and decided to spend an hour studying these people.

after an hour.

Behind a campfire, Pan Yan said with some disbelief, "Little Sun is a spy infiltrated by the 'Heart-Extinguishing Cult'? This, how is this possible!"

Another member of the team quickly said, "What's impossible about that! Sun Guozhu joined late and isn't a martial artist from Base 4."

I've always found his combat techniques strange, and now it seems it wasn't just wild speculation!

The group chattered on, recounting Sun Guozhu's identity and their suspicions about him.

Xu Feng waved his hand, and everyone immediately quieted down.

After an hour of questioning, everyone else was fine, and my mental strength told me they weren't lying.

Only Sun Guozhu remained silent after waking up.

Xu Feng glanced at the time; he had already been here for an hour and a half.

This is a military exercise, not a routine exercise.

"Here's what we'll do: you escort him to the court and hand him over to the Special Investigation Team. Tell them he's connected to the Extinction Heart Cult."

I'll give each of you 10,000 points as a reward, how about that?

Xu Feng pondered for a moment before speaking.

Swish!
Everyone present looked up abruptly.

1 points!
That's equivalent to killing a mid-level beast general!

Hey!
Almost everyone spoke at the same time: "I do!"

Then, the group looked at each other and laughed.

These points, which they gained for free, are equivalent to the fact that they worked together to kill four mid-level beast generals!
"Please rest assured, senior! We will do our utmost to serve you, even at the cost of our lives!!"

Pan Yan clasped his hands in a low voice and shouted.

Xu Feng couldn't hold back and burst out laughing: "Cough cough cough, there's no need, you can just take him away."

Remember, be extremely careful on the road, don't let your guard down, the cultists who destroy hearts are all lunatics.

The group of people all stiffened, looking at their familiar companions with a sense of unfamiliarity.

The Extinction of the Mind Cult?
It's crazy.

Where is the nearest referee?

Xu Feng stood up and asked.

Pan Yan quickly replied, "It's 10 kilometers to the northeast."

After hearing what Xu Feng said, he checked the military exercise map.

There are four tribunals throughout the entire Beast Cave, which are used to resolve disputes in a timely manner, including providing timely rescue.

The closest one to them is 10 kilometers away.

"Okay, then you can go." Xu Feng turned to leave.

But Pan Yan called out to him, "Senior, please wait a moment!"

Seeing Xu Feng turn his head, he wiped the sweat from his cheeks and said awkwardly, "Senior, the referee's place is deep inside the beast cave, and the road is dangerous."

Xu Feng was immediately stunned, and then opened the map to take a look.

"Eh?"

The courthouse was surprisingly not far from the Blackwing Bat King's territory, only 5 kilometers apart.

"Then let's go together since we're going the same way. Let's hurry."

Xu Feng immediately waved his hand, signaling Pan Yan to carry Sun Guozhu on his back, and then he would lead the way.

With Xu Feng leading the charge, the others only needed to run and follow.

However, I never expected this.

It was just a few kilometers from the Blackwing Bat King's territory at the intersection.

Just as Xu Feng was about to part ways with Pan Yan and the others, a figure suddenly blocked his way.

"Who goes there?!" Pan Yan shouted immediately, looking warily at the newcomers, and warned loudly, "We are a team ordered to escort the Heart-Destroying Cult members! What are you doing?!"

Xu Feng remained silent upon seeing this.

However, the person blocking the way possessed exceptionally strong qi and blood.

High-ranking War God!

He immediately realized that the other party was probably after him.

Wang Zheng, who was blocking the way, was somewhat confused by Pan Yan's loud shout.

what's the situation?
How did it become a procession escorting cult members who sought to destroy the mind?
Wang Zheng glanced at Sun Guozhu, who was being carried on Pan Yan's back and guarded by four low-level warriors: "The Extinction Heart Sect?"

Xu Feng broke his silence and clasped his hands in a salute: "This person is suspected to be a member of the Extinction Heart Cult. I discovered him on the way, so I had them escorted to the court."

"If you want to fight, come at me. This has nothing to do with them."

The others then looked at Wang Zheng in surprise.

He then suddenly realized that the other party was probably of the same strength as this senior, and he was immediately horrified.

They actually shouted at a powerful war god!
Wang Zheng was speechless for a moment, not expecting that Xu Feng would still be able to catch the madman of the Extinction Heart Sect during the military exercise.

What incredible luck!

He waved his hand at the rock: "Alright, get lost."

Immediately, he looked at Xu Feng impatiently: "Xu Feng, you and I will have a battle sooner or later."

Meeting you here means your luck has run out.

"Xu Feng?!"

Swish!
Pan Yan and the others turned to look at Xu Feng, their faces filled with horror.

This senior is none other than Xu Feng, who stands far ahead of everyone else on the leaderboard!
God!

This, this, this!
The group was so shocked that they stood frozen in place, forgetting to leave.

"Hey! Get lost!"

It wasn't until Wang Zheng gave a disgruntled shout that Pan Yan and the others picked up Sun Guozhu and ran away.

This is a battle for the title of God of War!

Although they wanted to stay and watch the battle, no one wanted to die in the aftermath of a battle between war god-level powerhouses.

If we stay further away, we might be able to get a general view!
Just as the four people left...

Wang Zheng couldn't wait any longer and took a big step forward, rushing towards Xu Feng.

Just for a moment.

A terrifying howling wind suddenly erupted from the cave!

Wang Zheng's step, seemingly simple, was like shrinking the distance to an inch, instantly traversing a distance of tens of meters!

His body was brimming with vitality, like a boiling cauldron.

The violent force stirred up the underground air, producing a muffled howl!
The pressure of the high-level war god was released without reservation, far more concentrated and oppressive than that of the two high-level war gods who had joined forces before!

He didn't use any fancy weapons, just his two iron fists!
Before the fist even arrived, the incomparably powerful fist energy had already torn through the air, forming a transparent shockwave that could be seen with the naked eye. Like a cannonball, it blasted towards Xu Feng's chest!

"Breaking the military!"

Wang Zheng roared, his fists pounding fiercely, charging forward relentlessly.

It is the S-level killing fist technique "Breaking Wolf" that is widely circulated in the military but very few people can master!
This punch was meant to crush Xu Feng's strange movement and mental power with absolute force!
