Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 20 Take Action!

The two sides faced off, with the Thunder Squad subtly forming an encirclement.

As an "old acquaintance" of the Fire Hammer Squad, Tiger Fang, the captain of the Tiger Fang Squad, exchanged a glance with the elder in the team, stepped forward, walked up to Gao Feng, and said, "Gao Feng, your Fire Hammer Squad has greatly improved its strength. You can even kill a two-headed black-lined snake of this level."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the two-headed black-striped snake corpse on the ground.

A hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

It hasn't been long, but the Fire Hammer Squad has grown to this level, even able to kill mutated monsters of this caliber. If the Tiger Fang Squad were to actually fight them, even if they could win, they would likely suffer heavy losses.

Their gaze lingered on Luo Shen's unfamiliar face for a few more seconds.

Gao Feng and Luo Feng were old acquaintances, but Hu Ya was seeing Luo Shen for the first time. He didn't know if Luo Shen was a new member of the Fire Hammer Squad or a lone wolf honing his skills in the wilderness.

Regardless of which one, Luo Shen's strength should not be underestimated.

Huya kept a watchful eye on things.

"Hmph!" Gao Feng snorted coldly, his icy gaze sweeping over Huya: "Huya, stop pretending!" They hadn't forgotten that Zhang Ke was ambushed by the Huya team and had to retire after losing an arm.

The feud between the two sides has reached a point where it is irreconcilable.

If it weren't for the fact that he could tell the old man and the burly white man were different, and if it were just the Tiger Fang Squad, Gao Feng would probably have rushed up and fought them right now!

In the wilderness, strength is the only true measure of success!

The old man and the burly white man sat calmly, neither speaking, simply standing quietly beside the mixed-race youth, watching indifferently.

Their primary task is to protect Li Wei; everything else has to take a backseat!

Tiger Tooth also knew that their team alone could not defeat the Fire Hammer team in one fell swoop. They could only rely on the influence of this young master Li Wei. If either of his two bodyguards was willing to make a move, the battle would be turned around instantly.

In other words, the decision-making power in this battle mainly depends on Li Wei's attitude.

"I," Li Wei was about to speak.

Then Luo Shen casually walked up to Luo Feng and whispered, "If a fight breaks out later, remember to tell Brother Chen to aim for the young man in the middle. Even if we die, we have to take one of them down with us!"

It was said to be in a low voice.

But everyone present was at the level of a warrior general, so such a volume was no different from speaking right next to someone's ear.

Luo Shen did it on purpose.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei's expression changed drastically.

His two bodyguards also frowned, looked up, and scanned the surrounding residential buildings, but there was no one in sight in the dilapidated buildings.

Snipers who are easy to find would have died in the wilderness long ago!

Tiger Tooth also frowned and glanced at Luo Shen.

Li Wei and the others were unaware, but he knew very well that the name "Fire Hammer" in the Fire Hammer Squad was taken from the two captains. The character "Hammer" corresponded to "Double Wind Hammer" Gao Feng, while the character "Fire" corresponded to "Cannon" Chen Gu.

At this moment, only Gao Feng and Luo Feng remained of the Fire Hammer Squad.

In other words, Chen Gu was hiding in a residential building in the surrounding area.

Although heavy sniper rifles can generally only threaten 'low-level Beast General' monsters, humans and monsters are still different. Although the strength of humans is not inferior to that of ordinary monsters of the same level, how can the defensive power of their skin and muscles compare to that of monster scales?

Even with his combat suit, Li Wei couldn't withstand a single shot from a heavy sniper rifle.

If you get shot, you'll be seriously injured even if you don't die!

Everyone's not stupid. Luo Shen's whisper just now clearly showed that he realized Li Wei was the most important member of the Thunder Squad, and he was obviously going to use Li Wei's life to blackmail him.

No one doubted that Luo Shen's words were false.

How could a martial arts squad go out to hunt monsters without bringing along experts in firearms?

Everyone remained silent for a while, no one spoke. The Tiger Fang team members were searching for the sniper rifle's location, while Li Wei's two bodyguards exchanged glances.

"Uncle Liu." With his own safety at stake, Li Wei couldn't help but feel a sense of retreat.

He is not short of money.

Although the two-headed black-striped snake is rare, it is not as precious as one's own life.

However, in the crowd, Dongzi and Zhang Zehu, the gunmen of the Tiger Tooth Squad, exchanged a glance.

They both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

In such a short period of time, the Fire Hammer Squad has grown to this extent. If they are allowed to continue to grow smoothly, the Tiger Fang Squad may soon have no place to survive.

The only option now is to start this battle!

Use someone else to do your dirty work!

"Click!" The sound of a bullet being chambered.

While everyone remained silent, the sharp sound was clearly audible, and almost everyone immediately turned their attention to Dongzi, who was holding a gun.

They exchanged glances.

For more than half a month, the two spent every day together, hunting monsters together. They had long since developed a tacit understanding and could see each other's plans at a glance.

Get started first!

"Make your move!" Luo Shen shouted in a low voice.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Luo Feng threw out two throwing knives first. With the support of his mental power, their speed and strength increased dramatically. One knife was aimed at Li Wei in the crowd, and the other at Huya.

This has two purposes.

Firstly, Li Wei was a key person the other party was protecting.

If attacked, he will be protected by the two bodyguards immediately. At least until Li Wei's safety is ensured, the bodyguards' actions will be effectively restricted, delaying their entry.

Another objective was to restrict Huya (虎牙).

The opponent is the strongest person besides the two bodyguards. His movements must be restricted in order to create favorable conditions for Luo Shen to make a move.

Just as Luo Feng had predicted.

The two bodyguards immediately protected Li Wei and deflected Luo Feng's throwing knife.

As for Tiger Fang, he had already guessed the Fire Hammer Squad's move and wanted to take action first, but unfortunately Luo Feng's throwing knife was faster, and the burst of several times the speed of sound directly intercepted him in place.

He drew his sword and slashed fiercely.

The throwing knife, containing 2.1 times the physical strength of Luo Feng and the mental power of his spirit, caused Huya's body to tremble violently under the impact of the dual forces, and the tiger's mouth of his hands holding the knife was in excruciating pain.

Now let's look at Luo Shen and Gao Feng.

Almost as soon as Luo Shen finished speaking, the two of them rushed into the Tiger Fang team's formation.

The 2.8-fold increase in speed even made Luo Shen faster than Gao Feng!

"Screech!" "Screech!" "Screech!"

The battle blade flashed like lightning, unleashing several strikes in a very short time. With perfect movement technique, expert swordsmanship, and the third level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, Luo Shen unleashed his strongest power almost instantly!

This ferocious demeanor terrified everyone.

Who would have thought that Luo Shen would be so strong, and even more unexpectedly, that Luo Shen would resort to killing at the slightest provocation!

Gao Feng directly stopped the one-eyed middle-aged man, the bald burly man, and another gunman, so Luo Shen only needed to deal with Zhang Zehu and the gunman Dongzi, and he could unleash his full power without any scruples.

Zhang Zehu had barely crossed the threshold of becoming a junior general, while Dongzi was a master of firearms.

Facing Luo Shen, a master of close combat, they were completely powerless to fight back.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Blood instantly stained their bodies, and severed limbs flew off. If Luo Shen hadn't been worried that killing them would cause Tiger Fang to completely lose his mind, he could have even beheaded them both!

Even so, the two of them became crippled from then on.
