  "There's still hope!" the group held their binoculars as they watched Luo Feng run.

  Like a flash of black lightning, Luo Feng raced on the street.

  "This silver moon wolf sure runs quickly". Luo Feng took a shortcut, thinking that he could stop the silver moon wolf. Who would've thought that there was still a mile between them, "Hm, it's turning left?".

  Luo Feng suddenly turned left and ferociously jumped over a wall into an abandoned residential sector. He continued taking the shortcut as he chased the silver moon wolf.

  "Howl~~"

  Two relaxing, lying lion mastiff monsters saw the human Luo Feng, and stood up suddenly in response. They gave off a low howl. The ground rumbled as they started charging, but Luo Feng didn't alter his course at all as he sprinted. He was also too lazy to dodge.

  "PUCHI!" "PUCHI!"

  Two throwing knives automatically left Luo Feng's thigh and formed two flashes of light. With such a short distance, the two lion mastiffs had no time to dodge and had their heads pierced.

  The eyes of the two lion mastiffs were filled with shock as they quickly lost their life. "RUMBLE~~" They directly fell on the ground, which caused a short tremor. Without any blood stuck to them, the two throwing knives formed a line and flew back to Luo Feng's thigh.

  Luo Feng quietly jumped into a neighboring alley. With a glance, he saw the silver moon wolf that was at the end of an alley around a hundred meters away.

  "WOO~~" the cruel silver moon wolf stopped and stared at the human not too far away.

  "A silver moon wolf, a heavily wounded silver moon wolf". Luo Feng's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his face, "Alright, with you, we'll see how strong I am right now!" as he said that, Luo Feng approached the silver moon wolf one step at a time.

  The silver moon wolf silently stood in place.

  The eyes of the silver moon wolf that was almost three meters tall, flashed. At the same time, a weird energy flowed through the fur on its body, instantly turning into the color of silver! The silver moon wolf became dazzling! Even the white fur on its forehead became the color of blood!

  A silver colored body and a blood red crown.

  This is the silver moon wolf!

  Luo Feng moved forward one step at a time and became cautious. When he shortened the distance between himself and the silver moon wolf to 50 meters...

  "WHOOSH!" the silver moon wolf instantly became a white flash of light and was in front of him in a blink of an eye!

  "Speed of sound!"

  With Luo Feng's reaction speed that had been tested frequently at the dojo, he determined..... this silver moon wolf's speed nears the speed of sound!

  Luo Feng's face changed greatly and he instantly jumped up like lightning. The silver moon wolf, at practically the exact same time, also jumped up. This jump was just 20 to 30 meters high. Luo Feng could even see the blurred face of the silver moon wolf under the speed of sound, with its hidden cold, blood red eyes.

  The powerful spiritual force was ferociously used on the alloyed battle boots on his feet, causing Luo Feng to go even higher and dodging the attack from the silver moon wolf.

  "So what if your speed reaches the speed of sound. Can you go faster than my throwing knives?" as he dodged the silver moon wolf, Luo Feng pulled out the six throwing knives on his thigh. The six throwing knives instantly became six flowing lights and, like a net, charged towards the silver moon wolf.

  Having traveled the wilderness for all these years, the silver moon wolf was also extremely intelligent.

  With its speed, the human fighter in the air shouldn't have been able to dodge its attack. Only one type of person could change directions and speed at will in the air�D�DSpirit readers! When the silver moon wolf realized that the human fighter in front of him was a spirit reader, it couldn't help but to be shocked.

  But by that time, the six throwing knives, like lightning, already arrived!

  "WOO~" the silver moon wolf gave out a loud, piercing roar. It couldn't change direction or speed in the air; it could only fiercely twist its body and use its claws to hit the throwing knives away.

  With such a short distance, Luo Feng's reaction speed isn't fast enough for him to make the throwing knives avoid the claws.

  PENG! PENG!

  Two of the six throwing knives were actually hit, but Luo Feng, who was still in the air, let out a smile. Even though he let out six throwing knives...... as of now, he can only guarantee that two throwing knives can reach their full power. So the six throwing knives were just there to confuse the silver moon wolf.

  Only two of these throwing knives are truly dangerous.

  "Hunter, you're the first commander level monster to die at my hands" laughed Luo Feng. Suddenly, two of the four originally agile throwing knives lost their power, and the other two charged towards the silver moon wolf's abdomen like lightning! The silver moon wolf was helpless in midair, even though it howled as it tried to use its claws to block the attack.

  However -

  PUCHI! PUCHI!

  The two throwing knives pierced through the previous wound, directly piercing into the body of the silver moon wolf. The internal organs of the silver moon wolf were sliced up into pieces, and the enraged silver moon wolf gave its last howl as it fell down!

  Chapter 53: Dissection

  The silver moon wolf fell powerlessly from the air, and its eyes slowly lost their color. As it died, it thought about the memories of its life. As a silver moon wolf, the king of the wolves, it had been hoping to become a horde leader ever since it was little. It was always doing well, and it was only one step away from becoming a horde leader!

  However.....

  It was ambushed by a wargod level fighter squad and was heavily injured. Thankfully, it was able to rely on the speed it was so proud of to escape. However, as it was escaping, it encountered a warlord level fighter squad. If it wasn't injured, it would've been able to easily deciminate them!

  But, it was heavily injured.

  And this warlord fighter squad continued to haunt it, chasing after it every time. No matter where it ran, that squad was always chasing it.

  "Those sickening human bastards!"

  "At least dying to the hands of a spirit reader is better than dying to those bastards". The silver moon wolf was extremely intelligent. It was a high level commander level king of the wolves that could rival horde leader level monsters in intellect. And horde leader level monsters are usually as intelligent as humans.

  If it's going to die, it has to die to someone powerful.

  "PENG!"

  The large body of the silver moon wolf came crashing down, causing the surrounding walls to wobble and then fall. Luo Feng quickly descended after it.

  "Huff, huff, I can't believe that I was able to kill a silver moon wolf". Luo Feng stood beside the corpse of the silver moon wolf and let out a long sigh. After that, the four throwing knives that were dancing around Luo Feng returned to his thigh, "Hm? There should be two more throwing knives". Luo Feng scanned the area.

  With a glance, he saw two pits on the concrete floor ahead. The concrete floor split open from the shaking, and the two 6th series throwing knives were precisely in these two pits!

  After this scene, Luo Feng couldn't help but to take in a deep breath.

  The silver moon wolf's speed and power were both unbelievably great.

  "Just in case another squad finds out, I'll dissect this body first. This one silver moon wolf could cost as much as a city" Luo Feng thought no further and immediately started dissecting with his throwing knife in hand. His ghost blade is a 5th series one, which is able to fight with medium level commanders.

  His throwing knives were 6th series, and could fight against high level commanders!

  Luo Feng ferociously slashed towards the silver moon wolf's wounded, split abdomen with his throwing knife.

  "Hm?"

  Luo Feng stared. The fur had long been split open, and yet his full force wasn't even able to cut open half o
f it. Isn't this too amazing. It's extremely difficult dissecting a monster that isn't wounded, but once they have a large wound, it becomes much easier. Sadly..... Luo Feng's strength isn't enough to dissect a high level commander's corpse!

  "Fuck, looks like even dissecting this monster is difficult" laughed Luo Feng. He then immediately used his spiritual force on one of the throwing knives.

  The power of his spiritual force was way stronger than the strength of his arm.

  "PUCHI!" the floating knife sliced along the split fur. A "CHI" "CHI" sound rang as the wound slowly expanded.

  "It's still so tiring even when I'm using my spiritual force to control my knife?" Luo Feng was surprised. With a beat of his heart, the controlled throwing knife fiercely pierced towards a fine patch of fur. The back of the silver moon wolf was a bit bent, but the fur showed no signs of injury.

  Luo Feng was startled: "That's just crazy".

  "This time I seriously had some bullshit luck" Luo Feng couldn't help but to gasp, "Its speed approached the speed of light and it was so powerful. Even the defense of its expensive fur is astonishingly high. If it was in perfect condition, I'll probably only have a 20 to 30 percent chance of victory!". If Luo Feng fought with it at its peak condition, then his throwing knives can only attack the eyes, ears, nose, and weak parts of the fur.

  However, with the silver moon wolf's agility, Luo Feng's chance of victory was indeed very low; to have a 20 to 30 percent chance of victory is already pretty good.

  "HUA-LA!"

  "HUA-LA!"

  Luo Feng swiftly dissected. First, he skinned the mysterious and expensive fur off, and then cut off the silver moon wolf's tough claws. These claws are used as material in making high grade ke-luo alloys, so they are just as expensive. There's also the silver moon wolf's extremely tough skullcap, fangs, and its special two eyes.

  If it was worth something, Luo Feng dissected it and put it into his bag.

  Many of the special inventions that humans have made are based off of material from various monsters.

  "Got them all"

  Luo Feng took in a deep long breath. Only a pile of flesh was left of the silver moon wolf's large corpse. Luo Feng moved his throwing knives back to his thigh and sighed. He used up lots of spiritual force fighting this silver moon wolf, but he used ten times that in dissecting the corpse!

  "No matter what, it's a big haul"

  "This time, I can get quite a bit of money too" Luo Feng let out a smile. The fire hammer squad splits the money according to each members' contribution in battle. Even if you're strong, if you don't help with hunting a monster, the fighter squad naturally won't give you any money.

  And Luo Feng killed this silver moon wolf alone.

  So Luo Feng will indeed receive lots of money.

  "If someone found me next to this silver moon wolf's corpse, I'll be in trouble" laughed Luo Feng, "Even an advanced warlord probably wouldn't be able to heavily injure the silver moon wolf. It was probably a wargod level fighter. And there was even a tracking signal on the fur, good thing I got rid of it". Luo Feng didn't want to make an enemy out of a fighter who was able to heavily wound the silver moon wolf.

  So, run!

  Luo Feng swiftly left, and only a pile of flesh was left.

  Under the dark night, the tiger fang squad carefully moved forward in the monster's territory in the city.

  "Fucks sake, that hunter keeps sprinting around in this country level city. Since it's a commander level monster, the other monsters are too afraid to anger it. However, we can only move forward slowly......" cursed a burly, bald man who was walking next to Zhang Ze Hu, "After we kill this hunter, I'll be sure to grill its meat and eat it. If I don't eat it, I won't be able to get rid of my anger".

  Zhang Ze Hu grinned and laughed on the side: "Don't worry, our tracking signal is on that hunter. It doesn't matter where it runs to".

  "Where's the hunter?" asked the captain of the tiger fang squad in a small voice.

  "Captain, the hunter is around 13 miles away from us, but it isn't moving anymore. Maybe it's resting there" laughed 'Dong Zi', the heated weapons user, as he held his tracking machine.

  At this time, the members of the tiger fang squad cheered.

  "It's not moving?"

  "Resting? Haha".

  They were afraid that the hunter 'silver moon wolf' would flee. Zhang Ze Hu laughed: "It appears that the silver moon wolf thinks it's hiding in a safe spot and is getting ready to recover. Too bad it doesn't know our power".

  "Go! We can't miss this chance, it's only 13 miles away from here, so we'll get there quickly" the eyes of the captain of the tiger fang squad flashed as he said softly, "Everyone speed up. Maybe we'll be able to kill the hunter this time".

  The tiger fang squad started moving forward at a much greater speed.

  Even if monsters are all around the city, a fighter squad would be able to move 13 miles in about half an hour if they rush.

  Around forty minutes later.

  "Ahead is the resting spot of the silver moon wolf, everybody be careful" the captain of the tiger fang squad slightly waved his hand and the six members of the tiger fang squad immediately split into two groups and moved around the target from different directions. They slowly surrounded the spot where the tracking machine displayed. Nobody dared to speak a word.

  A silver moon wolf is very sensitive.

  One step, two steps, three steps......

  Everybody was moving extremely carefully.

  "GO!" the tiger fang captain waved his hand and the other squad that received the signal moved at the same time.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  The two squads rushed into the alley from the two directions, one in front and one behind. They were around 100 meters away from the spot. The six members looked towards the spot, where the silver moon wolf should be. However, they didn't see their target, only..... the slight scent of blood in the air.

  "Hm?" the tiger fang captain's face changed.

  "Not good!"

  Virtually all the members of the tiger fang squad rushed over, over to the pile of flesh. Next to the pile of flesh were a few silver hairs!

  "Damn it" cursed Zhang Ze Hu as he grabbed his hair, "someone stole it!"

  Luo Feng knew that fighter squads leave tracking signals on heavily injured monsters. Since the silver moon wolf was heavily injured, there was an extremely high chance of a tracking signal being on it. So he quickly scanned it with his spiritual force and found something on its fur, and directly cut it off.

  "Bastard!" the tiger fang captain clenched his teeth with a grim face.

  "All this time for nothing!" the face of the one eyed middle aged man sank.

  "Go" a cold light flashed in the eyes of the tiger fang captain as he commanded, "Dare to steal food from a tiger. They're asking for death by stealing our things! That fighter squad just dissected the body and would probably rush back to the resupplying base just to be safe! So..... brothers of the tiger fang squad, let's rush back towards the resupplying base as fast as possible! We'll steal it back from them when we catch up to them".

  "Yes, captain" the five members immediately obeyed.

  "Depart" the tiger fang captain murderously waved his hand, and the other members of the tiger fang squad, who were just as mad, immediately followed their captain towards the resupplying base.

  Chapter 54: Resupplying Base

  Starry night.

  Under the starry sky, a shadow, as if black lightning, rushed forward in the ruined country level city. Sometimes it'll run along the street, and sometimes it has to jump through a residential sector..... in mere moments, it reached the six story residential apartment where the members of the fire hammer squad resided.

  "Luo Feng's here".

  "Yup, seems like he isn't injured".

  The members of the fire hammer squad watched Luo Feng enter the residential apartment's staircase through their binoculars. Luo Feng arrived on the rooftop moments later.

 
; "Captain, brother Chen" Luo Feng laughed as he yelled.

  "No injuries, hm, not bad. So, how'd it go? Were you able to kill the silver moon wolf?" No matter how calm captain Gao Feng was, he just wasn't able to hold back from asking this question. Chen Gu, the Wei Jia brothers, and even Zhang Ke, who was still lying on the floor, looked at Luo Feng expectantly. Chen Gu even joyfully said: "It looks like Luo Feng's backpack has gotten bigger".

  Luo Feng laughed: "Brother Chen, your eyes sure are poisonous. Yea, I just killed the silver moon wolf! I dissected it and put the stuff in my bag".

  "You really killed it?" the eyes of the members of the fire hammer squad widened in surprise.

  A silver moon wolf!

  The king of the wolves! Regular wolf type monsters were already rare in the first place.

  "I got lucky this time too" Luo Feng couldn't help but to say, "I'm afraid that the speed of this silver moon wolf reached the speed of sound! Its attack power was also absurd, and its fur was horrifyingly tough. If it wasn't for the fact that it was heavily injured in the first place and had a large wound on its abdomen, it would've been very difficult for me to kill it!".

  "Its speed approached the speed of sound?" glared Chen Gu.

  "That's absurd. Just what you'd expect from the king of the wolves, it can equal a low level pig type horde leader" said Wei Tie out of surprise.

  "Not good" Gao Feng's face changed dramatically.

  Luo Feng was shocked by the captain.

  "Captain, what's wrong? What happened?" followed Luo Feng.

  "The silver moon wolf was already heavily injured, so I'm sure that it fought with some human fighter squad in the past" said Gao Feng hurriedly, "The fighter squad that fought with it might've left a tracking signal on its fur. If this fighter squad chases after us and finds us, we'll be in trouble!"
