The 15th day.
On the 12th floor of the 18 story apartment building, Luo Feng and the others were resting.
"Captain, we rarely see any low level commanders near this area anymore" said Chen Gu hopelessly.
"It can't be helped. We've been killing quite cruelly recently" laughed Gao Feng, "But no need to rush, monsters come in groups..... According to my estimations, the amount of monsters here will start increasing within 10 days! All we have to do is quietly defend here, since we're familiar with the area".
Luo Feng also nodded.
Even though this area was big, Luo Feng and the others memorized it completely these past few days.
"Looks like #003 city is still the best for making money" Wei Tie couldn't help but to be amazed.
Even though Luo Feng and Gao Feng mainly did all the work, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Chen Gu still benefit greatly. After dividing the money, each of them will get over 100 million! Before, in the small cities, commanders were rare. Wei Qing and Wei Tie probably couldn't earn 100 million in a year. But now they passed that amount in just 15 days.
Of course--
The bigger the gain, the bigger the risks! In these past few days, Luo Feng and the others also encountered an assault from a flying monster. Thankfully, they hid in the house and relied on Luo Feng's throwing knives to scare them away.
"Tons of money? It's not a lot at all" laughed Gao Feng, "It's normal for a spirit reader to earn billions a year. The only reason we're able to stay here is mainly thanks to Luo Feng".
"Haha" Chen Gu, Wei Qing, and Wei Tie couldn't help but to start laughing.
"Captain, don't say that. It's because of your help that killing these monsters became that much easier". Luo Feng was telling the truth when he said that. It's impossible for one person to pay attention to all of his surroundings. Some squads have three members responsible for keeping watch and to remove potential dangers.
And only with the help of an 'intermediate warlord' like Gao Feng will Luo Feng's efficiency be high.
Luo Feng and the others talked in a relaxed manner, but their voices weren't raised high.
"Hm?" Chen Gu looked down through the laser aimer of his heavy sniper rifle and suddenly said, "****, a big one's here!".
"What?" Luo Feng and the others basically immediately came over and looked through their binoculars.
Luo Feng looked carefully.....
In a apartment building faraway, the corners were filled with vines and moss. And in these vines was a gigantic snake that was 20 meters long and as thick as a person's waist. The snake's body had black stripes and the closer they got to its head, the thicker they became.
The very end of the gigantic snake split into two triangular snake heads, and both of these heads had a bulge on their foreheads.
"****, is this the snake type monster, 'black striped', that has lethal poison?" cursed Gao Feng under his voice, "And this is even a mutated snake type monster, 'twin headed black striped snake'. And it's almost growing a horn and becoming a dragon".
Luo Feng also took in a deep breath.
A mutated black striped snake that's almost a dragon?
This thing shouldn't be messed with!
Chapter 72: Twin Headed Black Striped Snake
"A black striped snake that's about to become a dragon; it's surely a high level commander and nearing the horde leader level!" Gao Feng's expression was extremely serious, and he said in a small voice, "And since it's a mutated twin headed black striped snake, its venom is many times more powerful than a regular black striped snake! It also has two venom sacs, and each of those venom sacs are worth double the amount of a non-mutated black striped snake".
"In other words--"
"This twin headed black striped snake is worth the same amount as four black striped snakes of the same level! A black striped snake that's about to become a dragon is worth around 400 million, so this twin headed black striped snake is worth 1.6 billion! The price is comparable to a regular low level horde leader monster" after Gao Feng said these numbers, the heart rate of the others started increasing rapidly...... they have killed hundreds of commander level monsters over the past few days.
But all of that is not even close to the amount of money that the twin headed black striped snake is worth! Obviously, killing stronger monsters earns money at a higher rate.
"Of course, this twin headed black striped snake is extremely dangerous, once you get bit by it or get poisoned by it in any way, it's certain death!" Gao Feng said lowly, "And it has two brains, so both heads can attack the enemy together".
"Are we doing this?" Gao Feng looked towards the other members of the squad and finally laid his eyes on Luo Feng.
Everyone was silent as they looked at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng was the one to make the decision!
A twin headed black striped snake would make them tons of money! But at the same time, it's extremely dangerous!
"I'm in!"
Luo Feng clenched his teeth, "Captain, what about you?". With his spiritual force, his dodging would be unpredictable!
"Luo Feng, help me a bit if there's trouble" Gao Feng clenched his teeth, "Fighters are supposed to walk on the border of life and death. Wei Tie, give me your shield".
"Here, captain".
Wei Tie had no hesitation as he gave his shield to Gao Feng. And Gao Feng put one of his hammers on the ground. He had a shield in his left hand and a hammer in his right. He laughed at himself: "After all this time, I still rarely use a shield in combat. However, this twin headed black striped snake is just too dangerous. If I don't use a shield, I'll actually be quite scared".
"Captain, I'll attack from afar and you attack up close" said Luo Feng quietly, "If something happens, I'll use my spiritual force on your shield or hammer and you can use that force to dodge away".
"Understood" Gao Feng nodded.
Luo Feng looked at the other three and said: "I'll go down with the captain, you guys stay here. Oh yea, brother Chen, aim with your sniper rifle...... and make sure nobody tries to take advantage of us and steal the kill!".
"No worries, I'll keep aiming below" laughed Chen Gu slightly, "If you want me to fire, just notify me directly".
"Okay"
Through the tactical communications watch, members of a squad can keep in touch any time.
"Captain, let's go". Luo Feng and Gao Feng speeded down the stairs. Against a monster of this level, Chen Gu and the others could do nothing to help.
Luo Feng and Gao Feng reached the ground and, using their memory, went along a ruined, stony path towards the location of the twin headed black striped snake.
"BOOM!"
"HISS~" the ear piercing hiss of the snake carried over from far away.
Luo Feng and Gao Feng exchanged glances, and the tactical communications watch slightly vibrated at the same time. Luo Feng lowered his head to look, and a line of words appeared on the tactical communications watch--"three people suddenly appeared and are currently in an intense battle with the twin headed black striped snake".
Gao Feng also received the news and said quietly: "Didn't think that some other group would get to it first. However, let's go take a look".
"Let's go" Luo Feng also nodded.
The two of them rapidly got close and quickly arrived at the corner of a residential apartment. Past the corner, Luo Feng caught a glimpse of the three men currently fighting against the twin headed black striped snake around a few dozen meters away. The three men looked like they were from Western or Southern Asia. Their hair was slightly curly and their skin color was slightly dark.
The bald man who seemed to be the leader of these three men held a dark, golden bo staff around three meters long.
The staff in his hand was like a swimming dragon. Every time the triangular head of the twin headed black striped snake hissed as it flew over to him, the bo staff would always be quick enough to smash the snake. Even if it couldn't smash the head, it would still smash the body of the twin head
ed black striped snake. Sometimes, the 'point' on the head of the bo staff would connect, causing the twin headed black striped snake to hiss in rage!
As for the other two, they both held a rectangular shield in one hand and a gigantic scimitar in the other. These two were close together and attacked as a team: their coordination was amazing.
"PENG!"
The rusty fitness machines that filled the sector from long ago were all smashed open by the swinging tail of the twin headed black striped snake, and the bald brute also retreated rapidly. The bo staff turned and formed a whirlwind that blocked all of the scrap metal, and the master of the staff retreated rapidly.
"Great bo staff technique" Gao Feng couldn't help but to say quietly, "This bald guy is probably an advanced level warlord. The other two are probably medium level warlords".
Luo Feng nodded.
This brute dared to go head to head with the twin headed black striped snake, so it's easy to tell that he's strong.
"SI SI~~"
The twin headed black striped snake was enraged, and the cold eyes of the two gigantic snake heads were enough to send chills down your spine. It repeatedly widely opened its mouth as it attacked. Under the attack of the twin headed black striped snake, the three of them retreated rapidly and started to exchange words. After hearing the conversation between the three, Luo Feng and Gao Feng instantly determined--Indians!
After the battle, one of the heads of the twin headed black striped snake was bleeding. It was smashed by the bo staff of the bald brute! However, this wound was clearly not fatal.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The three Indians swiftly headed towards the direction of Luo Feng and Gao Feng.
"Feel free to fight it if you can" the bald brute squeezed out some chinese. At this time, the twin headed black snake was hissing as it charged over.
Luo Feng and Gao Feng laughed coldly and didn't say much, and then swiftly dodged to the side. They weren't stupid enough to charge directly at a twin headed black striped snake. The leader of the three Indians, the bald brute, couldn't help but to curse under his voice and then shot his three meter long bo staff at the twin headed black striped snake.
"Now is the time"
Luo Feng already grabbed his black throwing knife as he dodged, and this was a 9th series throwing knife! He threw it with lightning speed!
The throwing knife formed a cold light as it shot towards the left head of the twin headed black striped snake. As an existence that is almost a dragon, the twin headed black striped snake is extremely intelligent. It saw that the insignificant human threw a throwing knife, so its left head swiftly waved. The brain of a snake has always worked extremely quickly!
The left head of the twin headed black striped snake instantly became blurred.
"Its intellect was used against itself" laughed Luo Feng coldly, "Change!"
He purposefully threw his throwing knife to make the wiseacre twin headed black striped snake to think he used hidden weapons. Using common sense, throwing knives can't change direction in the air. Sadly..... Luo Feng wasn't some hidden weapons expert, but was tens to hundreds of times stronger than a hidden weapons expert.
When there was just barely a meter left between the throwing knife and the twin headed black striped snake, the knife slightly changed direction. Just this slight change caused the knife to charge towards one of the eyes of the twin headed black striped snake's left head.
"HISS~" the twin headed black striped snake hissed out of rage, and in that short moment, actually made an dodging movement with its left head!
Know that, Luo Feng's throwing knife was already going at a few times faster than the speed of sound, even faster than a sniper bullet!
A distance of one meter and a speed several times the speed of sound, not even a thousandth of a second!
And since the throwing knife was moving so quickly, even Luo Feng couldn't be sure that he changed it at 1 meter or 1.5 meters. Since the throwing knife was so fast, a slight delay means that the knife could've moved forward by 10 meters already. Even if he reacts quickly, in that short moment, Luo Feng can only change the knife's direction once!
And in just that short moment, not only did the twin headed black striped snake react, but it also dodged! Of course, since it was such a short moment, the twin headed black striped snake dodged under extreme circumstances.
"PU!" the throwing knife shot at the mouth of the twin headed black striped snake and drew out a gap, and grazed the twin headed black striped snake's scales.
CHI CHI~~
It only left a white mark, and the throwing knife directly reflected into the ground.
"Such horrifying defense" Luo Feng was startled, "Such amazing dodging capabilities. It changed direction in such a short distance, and this twin headed black striped snake was still able to dodge? This is going to be a problem!" Luo Feng knew that getting rid of this twin headed black striped snake by himself would be extremely difficult.
"Hiss~" the two heads of the twin headed black striped snake both turned towards Luo Feng. Its left head had a huge gap in its mouth, and a deep, green colored blood flowed out continuously.
The bald brute who wielded the long bo staff laughed loudly, and as he retreated, he yelled in his awkward chinese, "Team up, split half?". His gaze was on Luo Feng.
Luo Feng and Gao Feng exchanged glances.
"Alright" said Luo Feng.
"OK!" Gao Feng even purposefully made a gesture.
The three Indians and Luo Feng and Gao Feng, both groups instantly made their decision to cooperate. The bald brute's strength earned Luo Feng and Gao Feng's recognition while Luo Feng's throwing knives earned the three Indian's recognition! Only with strength can you earn others' attention and respect!
And outside of Wan-Ke dream city was a fighter squad of nine that was currently slowly heading forward. In this squad of nine were the members of the tiger fang squad.
"Hm? That's the sound of a snake, and an extremely powerful one at that".
Out of the nine, a veteran whose hair was white spoke.
Chapter 73: A steal
In Wan-Ke dream city's ruined, barren land was a sound of rumbling.
A snake as thick as a person's waist charged like lightning towards the two scimitar-wielding Indians. The two Indians leaped with a 'WHOOSH' five or six meters high and grabbed the window railing of an apartment building. The snake's tail then cruelly smashed into a tree on the side. From around five or six meters up the tree was a 'KACHA' sound as it directly split open and rumbled as it fell.
"Haha, trying to kill me?" at this time, Luo Feng was sprinting quickly with a shield in one hand.
The two heads of the twin headed black striped snake were crazily chasing after Luo Feng!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
He swung his arm and two throwing knives came out. It seemed like Luo Feng used his arm to throw them, but actually, the throwing knives were completely controlled by spiritual force right when they were thrown, causing the two throwing knives to accelerate to an amazing speed. An eye would barely be able to see two blurred, cold lights headed towards the twin headed black striped snake!
"HISS~~" the twin headed black striped snake roared as it tried to dodge.
"Change!" Luo Feng's gaze was cold.
The two throwing knives slightly changed direction, but not by a large amount. Since the throwing knives were way faster than bullets fired from a sniper rifle, the others couldn't even tell that the throwing knives changed direction.
"PUCHI!" "CHI!"
One of the two throwing knives grazed the left head of the snake as it flew by, but the other throwing knife hit the left head. Ever since they started fighting, Luo Feng already let out six throwing knives, and all six of these throwing knives were attacking the snake's left head. At this time, the snake's left head was covered with fresh blood, and its wounds were shocking.
"Hu!" Luo Feng's body was extremely light, and his sprinting speed was startling.
&nbs
p; The bo staff-wielding leader of the Indian group made an excited shout and chased the snake, as if it was a running dog, while it was chasing after Luo Feng. One hit after another, he fiercely shot his staff towards the twin headed black striped snake's right head. The twin headed black striped snake didn't dare to use its head to block the alloyed staff, so it could only dodge.
Know that, even though this staff doesn't seem powerful and isn't sharp like a spear...
Once it makes contact, all of its power will be focused on the tip. The area of the tip isn't large, so that small tip is like a blunt weapon!
"Come on Indian, keep at it!" howled Gao Feng.
The other two large scimitar and shield wielding Indian fighters, with Gao Feng, closely attacked the body of the twin headed black striped snake. First, doing this prevented the twin headed black striped snake from using its tail to attack Luo Feng and the Indian leader. Second, they also wanted to attack this giant snake at around 7 inches!
The snake's weak point is at 7 inches. Of course 7 inches is an abstract number; the main point is to attack its vital organs.*
TL note: Refer to the end for more information.
Even though the snake was confident in its defense, it still didn't want to let Gao Feng and the other two aim for its vitals. So the snake retracted its tail and wrapped it..... as it tried to think of a way to deal with Gao Feng and the other two.
"Whoosh!"
The shield in Luo Feng's left hand was affected by spiritual force and, after Luo Feng exerted force in his foot, he intensely flew straight towards captain Gao Feng's position. When he was near Gao Feng, Luo Feng whispered: "Captain, when you get near the snake to attack, use your hammer and smash right towards this snake's left head!".
"Hehe, understood" Gao Feng immediately understood what Luo Feng meant.
