Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 34 The Battle Between the Two Brothers

As evening fell, the fully armed Firehammer squad of seven left the supply base and entered the wilderness.

At this point, the Firehammer Squad's formation was as follows:

The Wei brothers, Wei Tie and Wei Qing, carrying scimitars and shields, led the way.

Luo Feng and Luo Xia, the two rookies, were positioned in the middle of the team along with Chen Gu, the machine gunner, and were being protected.

As for team captains Gao Feng and Zhang Ke, they brought up the rear of the team.

"We'll travel along this highway, and it will take about three days to reach our destination—county-level city number 0201."

Captain Gao Feng pointed to the highway stretching into the distance and said.

The highway is in a dilapidated state, with cracks and potholes in many places.

Everywhere you look, you see dilapidated cars, trucks, and vans... If you have a keen eye, you can even see blackened bloodstains on the cracked road surface.

The setting sun hung in the sky, its crimson rays illuminating the dilapidated highway that had been silent for decades, exuding an aura of desolation and savagery.

Let's go!

"That's what Captain Gao Feng said."

The group of seven moved forward at a moderate pace, and along the way, they could hear all sorts of eerie roars from monsters.

Rorschach and his companions looked towards the dilapidated villages and houses on both sides of the road, and could even see the figures of many monsters.

"There's a one-horned boar ahead, somewhere between G and F level. Which of you two brothers will go? This is your first battle in the wilderness!"

Gao Feng suddenly signaled everyone to stop, and then spoke to Luo Feng and Luo Xia.

"Big brother, I'll go."

"Rorschach said."

Luo Feng stopped him, feigning a relaxed smile as he said:

"Alright, you stole the show during the practical assessment, so let me do it this time. Let me see what the difference is between the monsters in the wild and those in the practical assessment."

That's what they say.

The truth is that Luo Feng was worried about Luo Xia's safety and wanted to go forward himself to set an example for Luo Xia.

After all, the monsters in this wilderness area are generally more ferocious and wild than those kept in military areas.

He would go first and let Rorschach learn from the sidelines, then Rorschach could go up and fight, thus reducing the danger.

At this moment, Captain Gao Feng said, "Okay, Luo Feng, go ahead."

Chen Gu warned, "Luo Feng, don't be careless. The monsters in the wilderness are far more powerful than those kept in the military area."

Luo Feng nodded. "Mm."

He drew his Blood Shadow Blade, held his shield in his left hand, and quickly moved towards the one-horned boar.

"Captain, isn't it a bit too demanding of Luo Feng to have him face a near-F-rank unicorn boar in his very first battle?"

An F-rank monster is equivalent to a mid-level warrior.

Of course, because monsters have stronger bodies, F-class monsters are stronger than mid-level warriors of the same class.

After Luo Feng walked away, Chen Gu spoke to Gao Feng.

Zhang Ke nodded in agreement, "While we should test Luo Feng and Luo Xia, isn't it a bit too hasty to put Luo Feng in his first battle against a unicorn boar?"

Wei Tie glanced at Luo Xia in the group and said bluntly:

"The captain's arrangement is fine. Luo Feng's physical abilities are in no way inferior to that monster. Although it's quite difficult, he should be able to win even if he has to endure some hardship."

Luo Xia maintained a smile throughout, not believing that Luo Feng would suffer any mishaps at the hands of an F-grade unicorn boar.

It should be noted that with Luo Xia's help, Luo Feng's strength is even greater than in the original work, and he now has physical qualities close to those of a junior warrior.

Although they may lack combat experience, their physical attributes, which are close to those of a junior general, can completely make up for this deficiency!

And that is indeed the case.

Just as everyone was wondering how Luo Feng would deal with the one-horned boar in front of them, Luo Feng launched his attack!

After a few rounds of maneuvering, Luo Feng, who was stronger than the unicorn boar, used his Blood Shadow Battle Blade to forcefully break through the unicorn boar's defenses, almost severing half of its head, and winning the battle!

Gao Feng and the others were somewhat surprised.

Especially Gao Feng and Chen Gu.

They were powerful warriors at the general level; just by watching this one battle, they could deduce—

Luo Feng's physical abilities are definitely not just those of a high-level warrior as Wu Tong said, but are already very close to those of a junior warrior!

But... he's only eighteen!

Could Luo Feng really have reached the level of a warrior general at the age of eighteen?!

Chen Gu and Gao Feng were somewhat incredulous.

"abnormal!"

"monster!"

These two words were uttered by the Wei brothers.

Although the battle between Luo Feng and the unicorn boar was rather short, the agility, strength, and quick reflexes that Luo Feng displayed were all at an abnormal level!

"team leader."

Luo Feng ran over from a distance, "That unicorn..."

Gao Feng frowned as he looked at Luo Feng for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Since you killed him, this unicorn is naturally yours."

Luo Feng nodded and did not refuse, directly putting the unicorn into his backpack.

Chen Gu laughed and said, "This unicorn horn, if sold to a martial arts school, should be worth three thousand yuan and you can also get a few contribution points. If sold to the HR Alliance, it can fetch five thousand yuan."

The group continued on their way, talking as they went.

Not long after, they encountered another F-class monster—the Tiger Cat Monster.

This ocelot had some spots on its body and was as big and strong as a calf. Its speed and strength were greater than those of the previous one-horned wild boar.

"Luo Xia is here this time," Gao Feng said.

Rorschach nodded, drew his Silver Moon Longsword, took his shield, and stepped out of the group.

"Xia, don't be careless."

The eldest brother, Luo Feng, spoke up to remind him that this tiger-cat monster was much stronger than the one-horned wild boar he had killed.

Although he knew his younger brother was stronger than him, this was still his brother's first time facing monsters in the wilderness, and as the older brother, how could he not be nervous?

"Don't worry, big brother."

Luo Xia smiled slightly, stepped on his toes, and charged directly towards the tiger-cat monster!

"Wow, that's fast!"

Luo Xia's speed surprised Gao Feng and the others.

In the blink of an eye, Rorschach had already rushed to the side of the tiger-cat monster.

The tiger-cat monster was very alert and spotted Luo Xia instantly. It roared and immediately assumed an attack stance.

It pushed off the ground with its two hind legs, first nimbly dodging Luo Xia's sword strike, and then, the moment it landed, it pounced on Luo Xia like a spring, baring its ferocious claws.

Just then, Rorschach raised his shield, which knocked the attacking tiger cat backward with a clang. Then, his longsword pierced out like a venomous snake.

A muffled thud.

The longsword pierced through the tiger cat's throat!

slam-la-

Blood spurted out!

Luo Xia lightly touched the ground with his feet and stepped back.

The ocelot collapsed to the ground, convulsing and howling in pain.

Not long after, the tiger cat gradually lost all its vitality and stopped moving!

In just one exchange, the F-class tiger-cat monster died at Rorschach's hands!

It was even faster than when Luo Feng killed the one-horned wild boar!

"Just now...was he doing it on purpose?"

In the distance, Zhang Ke, who had watched the entire battle, asked Chen Gu beside him in astonishment.

Chen Gu frowned, the image of Luo Xia fighting the tiger cat replaying in his mind. After a long while, he finally answered:

"It was intentional! Rorschach deliberately missed with his first strike, just so that Tiger Cat could dodge and pounce on him!"

Gao Feng nodded and added:

"Only when the tiger cat pounces will he have a chance to expose its weakness and kill it in one blow!"

The Wei brothers were stunned.

on purpose?

Is it to expose the tiger cat monster's weakness?

Wei Qing asked in surprise, "With this kind of combat intelligence, is Luo Xia... really a rookie?!"

This kind of opportunity to create combat experience that exposes the monster's weaknesses is something only warriors who have fought in the wilderness for many years can possess!

How could Luo Xia, a newcomer, know such a fighting style?

Luo Feng, standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought. So this was how it could be done while fighting monsters…

If I used the same method to lure the boar in a fight, I could probably kill it in two or five rounds!
