Contrary to expectations, Liebert frowned.
Andrew had disappeared.
He had vanished into thin air under the eyes of the two martial artists. He had disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared.
If he was dead, at least there would be a corpse.
The remaining three members of the Gale Squad looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with shock.
“Where is he?”
“Even if he is a Grandmaster, we should at least notice a trace of him. Moreover, his aura is similar to ours. At most, he is a grade-four martial artist. How can he be faster than a Grandmaster?”
As grade-four martial artists, their senses were acute. Although they couldn’t find Andrew’s location, they could vaguely sense that there was a pair of eyes staring at them from somewhere nearby.
The surroundings were a wide expanse.
The factory building closest to the industrial park was three hundred meters away.
Where could he hide?
This unknown sense of danger made their scalps go numb. They didn’t dare to move and could only coldly say, “Come out!”
“Bastard, if you have the ability, why don’t you try facing us head-on?”
The next moment, they felt that the feeling of being under observation had disappeared.
The two martial artists exchanged glances and heaved a sigh of relief.
However, they had forgotten one thing.
The fourth brother in the team, the hidden sniper, could still feel someone’s eyes on him!
Chapter 29 - Killing the Gale Squad

“Big Brother, Third Brother, what happened over there? That person… why did he disappear?”
From the Gale Squad’s headset, sniper number four’s surprised voice sounded.
“Number Four, you didn’t see his movements either?”
Boss Liebert was shocked.
Although Number Four’s strength was the weakest in their Gale Fighter Squad, his vision was much sharper than a martial artist of the same rank.
Even the actions of a Grandmaster could be seen clearly by Fourth Brother.
The next moment, Fourth Brother felt a sense of danger coming from behind him.
He quickly rolled to the side.
A “Boom” sounded from his previous spot.
Fourth Brother turned his head and saw an additional scar where he was originally lying down.
Following that, a wave of tearing pain surged into his brain.
His body…
Was directly cut into two halves by a single slash!
“Fourth Brother!”
Liebert’s voice came from the earpiece.
He looked at a high slope in the distance. The explosion came from there, and their team’s fourth brother… was also there!
“This Innate Five-elements Infinite Escape Technique is really a top-grade ambush skill!”
Andrew looked at the sniper’s corpse on the ground and revealed a cold smile.
If he had not mastered the escape technique, he might have died under the combined attack of three people.
How could these three martial artists think that there was actually someone who could move under the ground?
This gave Andrew the opportunity to find the sniper.
“Damn it!”
The remaining two members of the Gale Squad had bloodshot eyes. They held their weapons and rushed over.
However, they hadn’t even run 200 meters.
Xiu!
A bolt of Lightning Blade Qi directly drilled out of the ground and cut the staff-wielding martial artist in half.
“F*ck!”
The Gale Squad’s captain, Liebert, was frightened by this sudden Qi and stopped in his tracks.
Looking at the third’s body that had been split into two, he was stunned.
What kind of monster had he provoked?
From his strength, he was at most at the peak of the fourth-grade. With the combined might of the three of them, it shouldn’t be difficult to defeat him.
However, that sudden disappearance…
He had no way to guard against this sudden Blade Qi.
Revenge?
Get lost!
F*ck brotherhood. As long as he could survive, it would be enough.
Liebert took two steps back.
He was waiting for the second Blade Qi.
Such a powerful martial arts battle technique would definitely burden his body after it was released.
As long as he blocked the second Blade Qi, he would be able to escape this place at an extremely fast speed while there was still time.
“Die!”
A voice that terrified him rang in Liebert’s ears.
Then, a whistling sound came.
A 20-meter-long Blade Qi gradually enlarged in his pupils!
“This blade… I can block it, right?”
Liebert began to doubt himself.
Looking at the approaching Blade Qi, he leaped and barely dodged the attack.
Boom!
Thick smoke rose around him.
“Right now. If I run, he definitely won’t be able to catch up to me.”
Liebert instantly took off and made his escape.
However, he hadn’t even run a few steps when another Blade Qi quickly came from behind him.
“Ah!”
Both of his legs were cut off by the Qi, and he fell to the ground.
Andrew, who had been underground, coldly looked at Liebert above him.
Was this a fourth-grade martial artist?
Looking at Liebert’s disheveled appearance, it was hard for Andrew to link the person who had threatened him earlier.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations, Host, for killing a fighter of the fourth grade. Reward: +300 strengthening points.”
In his mind, the system notification sounded.
So… Liebert was already dead?
Andrew glanced at the system interface.
The strengthening points had reached 840.
“This saber is C-grade?”
“No, although this saber is C-grade, there are some B-grade materials mixed in… This composite metal rod is the same. They should be worth a lot.”
Battlesuit…
The second brother of the Gale Fighter Squad had a suit on him.
However, its level shouldn’t be high as it was destroyed by a single strike.
“Oh right, that sniper’s sniper rifle should be able to sell for some money.”
Under normal circumstances, warriors who came to the wilderness would only carry some food and medical supplies in their backpacks.
The rest of the surplus items would be placed in a 'safe spot” in the wilderness.
However, Andrew had a storage space with him.
Very quickly, he stored all the spoils of war into his storage space.
After placing everything inside, there was not much space left in the storage space.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 360 strengthening points.”
In his mind, the system notification sounded once again.
“It’s similar to my estimation. That composite metal saber and long staff are worth around 2 million, while the rocket launcher, sniper rifle, and other items should be around 1.6 million.”
His total strengthening points had reached 1,200!
“No wonder martial artists like to go to the wilderness. Although it’s full of danger, it’s a shortcut to earn money!”
He had left the hotel at 8 am and went to the supermarket. After buying some things and traveling, he reached the wilderness at around 10 am.
It was only 11 am now.
In just one hour, he had earned 3.6 million, which was nothing more than robbing a bank.
Moreover, he hadn’t killed any demon beast yet.
Some of the demon beast materials could also be sold at a high price on the black ma
rket or on the forum.
Demon beast?
Andrew Thought for a moment.
The injured peak grade-four demon beast, the Black Wind Ash Wolf, was still in the Golden Town.
If he killed it before anyone else…
Chapter 30 - The Chaotic Golden Town
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Golden Town.
On top of an abandoned building.
This building used to be a government office of the Golden Town. It had a total of 10 floors, but now, only five floors were left.
On the second floor of the building, there was a room by the window.
John was holding a telescope and looking outside quietly.
On the street, there were many abandoned vehicles.
These vehicles had been parked there for more than ten years. With the wind, the sun, and the stomping of the beasts, they had already rotted to the point that only an iron frame was left.
“Dong!”
A black shadow flew onto a frame, and it was directly stomped flat.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
Black blood continuously dripped down.
The Black Wind Ash Wolf was nearly two meters tall, four meters long, and weighed more than a ton. It raised its head and let out a miserable howl.
It used to be the king of this town.
It lured the humans that had entered the wilderness to Golden Town and raised them in captivity. When it got hungry, it would use these humans.
But now, it was seriously injured, bleeding non-stop, and its strength was constantly fading away.
Fortunately, just yesterday, it had trapped a group of humans in the town to prevent itself from being seriously injured.
“After I replenish my blood and energy, I will definitely slaughter all of you humans!”
The Black Wind Ash Wolf let out a long howl and gradually disappeared from John’s sight along the street.
“Hu…”
John let out a long breath and collapsed onto the ground.
“Did the members of the Gale Fighter Squad had their brains kicked? The Black Wind Ash Wolf was already seriously injured, yet they didn’t take the opportunity to chase after it and instead left the city?”
John’s companion, the bearded warrior, and a short, thin, and weak middle-aged warrior looked gloomy.
They had accepted a mission from the Martial Arts Administration and came to rescue a group of trapped students.
When they came, they received news that the Gale Squad seemed to be preparing to deal with the Black Wind Ash Wolf. Intending to take advantage of the situation, they had already laid in an ambush in Golden Town.
Since they were relatively weak, the three of them suppressed the greed in their hearts after seeing the injured Black Wind Ash Wolf and didn’t make a move.
As for the martial artist team that was slightly stronger than them, they weren’t so lucky.
They were swallowed by the Black Wind Ash Wolf.
Besides the Black Wind Ash Wolf, many first and second-grade demonic beasts were also gathering in the town’s center on the streets.
Along with the wolf’s long howls, the nearby demonic beasts seemed to have received some kind of order and were continuously rushing over.
“John, how is it?”
The bearded warrior frowned and asked, “The Gale Squad hasn’t returned. I’m afraid that they’ve encountered some trouble. If only we had known earlier, we would have left the wilderness after rescuing the students.”
“That’s already out of the equation…”John said dejectedly.
He looked at the increasing number of demonic beasts on the street, and his heart became even heavier.
He hadn’t found the students he wanted to save, and now, he was trapped in Golden Town by so many demonic beasts. He was afraid…
He glanced at the backpack he had brought with him and receded into thought.
The short and thin warrior said in a low voice, “Since there aren’t many demonic beasts now, let’s risk it. Don’t bother about those trapped students.”
A trace of viciousness flashed through his eyes.
The trio was second-grade warriors. If they wanted to escape, as long as they didn’t meet the Black Wind Ash Wolf, they should be able to force their way out.
Right at this moment, John observed through the binoculars and looked out of the street. He said in surprise, “Another warrior has come! Eh? Why is it him?”
When the bearded warrior and the scrawny middle-aged warrior heard this, their eyes moved.
There was actually a warrior who dared to come to Golden Town. Was he here to die?
At the same time, they were a little curious.
From John’s tone, it seemed like he knew this warrior who had just arrived.
If it was someone John knew, he should at least have the strength of a second-grade. If the four of them were together, the probability of escaping Golden Town would be even higher.
Therefore, they all leaned against the window and cautiously peered outside.
They saw a youth wearing a sports coat, carrying a warrior’s backpack, and holding a composite metal blade on the street, glancing around curiously.
He even stared at the Black Wind Ash Wolf’s blood for a few seconds in front of the broken car that the wolf had just stomped.
“It’s him!”
“Is it that crazy college student?”
The bearded warrior looked disappointed. No wonder there was a warrior coming to Golden Town at this time. It was this stupid kid.
John whispered to Andrew.
Below.
Andrew vaguely heard someone calling him and looked up. He saw someone waving at him from a window.
“Isn’t that the person from the pickup truck? I think his name was John. Are they also here to kill the Black Wind Ash Wolf?”
However, the three of them seemed to only have the strength of a second-stage martial artist. They were simply not a match for the Black Wind Ash Wolf.
“However, I was just worried that I wouldn’t be able to find the Black Wind Ash Wolf. They have been staying here all this time. Perhaps they know where it is hiding.”
Upstairs.
The bearded warrior was anxious. He cursed in a low voice and shouted, “John, what are you doing?
“Now that so many demonic beasts have swarmed into Golden Town, we are in danger. Why did you call him up?”
John frowned. “The Black Wind Ash Wolf is right in front. If he is discovered, he will definitely die. We are all human warriors. It’s not wrong to help him!”
“But if we bring him with us, it will be even harder to escape from Golden Town!” said the bearded warrior fiercely.
“What if… his strength is not bad?”
Chapter 31 - Trapped Students, Grade 12, Class 6?
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
When John said this, he wasn’t sure either.
No matter how talented a sophomore was, he was only a second-grade fighter.
Moreover, these students’ combat experience was far less than theirs. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that they were a burden.
While they chatted, steady footsteps could be heard coming from the corridor.
“The three of you, what are you hiding here for?”
Andrew took the initiative to greet the trio.
The bearded warrior was shocked.
When did he come upstairs?
They had just spoken for a few seconds, but this kid was actually so fast?
“Shh, be quiet.”
John stood up and reminded him.
Only then did Andrew react. This was the wilderness, and there was danger lurking everywhere. If he was too loud, he might become a target.
With his current strength, he did not have the confidence to resist a sniper’s attack.
“Why are you here?” John asked first.
“This is my first time coming to the wilderness. I
don’t have a map either. I don’t know how I came here.”
Andrew replied. From a hill, he saw some ruins here, so he walked over. He did not expect it to be Golden Town.
John Sighed and didn’t say anything.
This kid was too unlucky. Why did he get lost and come to Golden Town?
“What about you?” Andrew asked back.
“Who cares about you…”
The bearded warrior seemed unwilling to tell Andrew. However, John stopped him and said, “We’re here for a Martial Arts Administration mission. Some students are trapped here. We’re responsible for rescuing them.”
He did not say that he was here to take advantage of the Black Wind Ash Wolf.
After all, it was impossible to kill the Black Wind Ash Wolf now. He could only think of a way to escape from Golden Town while the wolf was still injured.
“Students?”Andrew asked.
“Students like you, who don’t have any strength, come to the wilderness all the time. You are really courting death.”
The bearded warrior mocked.
He looked down on Andrew and did not hide it at all.
Andrew did not pay attention to the bearded warrior. Instead, he looked at John and continued to ask, “Don’t you need a Martial Artist Card to enter the wilderness?”
John was shocked.
“Don’t you know? High school students will come to the outskirts of the wilderness before the entrance exam. After being subjected to a strong sense of oppression, it is beneficial for their bones to be tempered.
“So, the schools will send their martial arts teachers to follow the students to ensure their safety.
“But this time… it seems like there was an accident. They went too deep and were trapped here.”
At this point, John sighed.
Not to mention those students, even they were trapped here.
“Then why are you hiding here? Shouldn’t you be saving those students?”
Andrew frowned.
“Save? That’s easy for you to say. There are so many monsters out there. Are you going out to die?”
