45. Commander Level Monster

When the six members of the fire hammer

squad were searching for a commander

level monster and hiding on the rooftop of

the blue sky sector's residential hall....

Around 30 km away from the #0201

country level city on the ruined highway

was a six-man elite fighter group rushing

towards the #0201 country level city.

All six of them had a tiger shaped medal on

their left breast pocket of their battle

uniform.

This was the famous "Tiger Fang Squad" of

Jiang-Nan city. There were six people in

the tiger fang squad: two of them used

heated weapons, and the other four used

cold weapons. Two of the four that used

cold weapons were warlord level fighters,

and the other two were advanced warrior

level fighters! And the two that used

heated weapons were also warlord level!

Actually, as long as you have enough talent,

experience, and time, it's quite easy to reach the warlord level using heated

weapons.

Because they rely on their guns and

bullets!

"Old Han, have you found that old guy's

position yet?" asked Zhang Ze Hu in a small

voice. This Zhang Ze Hu was indeed one of

the six members of the tiger fang squad,

and was an advanced warrior level fighter.

In terms of strength, the tiger fang squad

was extremely powerful. The weakest

members were both advanced warrior

level fighters, and these two were barely

away from the warlord level.

"According to the signal flare I left on that

old guy, it's probably 40 km away from us.

According to me, I'd think it's in the #0201

country level city ahead!" said the guy who

was holding and looking at a compass-like

instrument.

"Finally confirmed the position"

"If we can hunt down this old guy this

time, we brothers are gonna be rich".The people of the tiger fang squad

laughed.

When they were hunting for monsters

before, they found the wolf type monster,

'Hunter', by chance. There were lots of

different classifications for the monsters

today. Before the Grand Nirvana period,

there were mostly pigs, dogs, cats, cows,

and sheep in society. So most of the

monsters today are mostly pig type, dog

type, cat type, cow type, sheep type, snake

type, etc. Monsters like foxes, monkeys,

scorpions, wolves, tigers, and jaguars are

rarer.

Wolves, tigers, and jaguars were already

strong, so after a mutation, they'd become

beyond horrifying.

Of course, since there are so many regular

monsters, some of them become

horrifying existences.

For example, one of the cat type monsters

is a legendary existence--Nine Lives

Demon Cat!The Nine Lives Demon Cat is the most

frightening monster within the cat type

monster category. It has nine tails, and it's

strength surpasses a horde leader! On the

entire earth, it's considered as one of the

scariest monsters in the rankings.

...

Since the wolf type monsters have a high

reproduction ability, fighters could often

encounter a few wolf type monsters this

past decade.

And the 'Hunter' is one of the most

horrifying mutations within the wolf type

monster category. They're also called the

king of the wolves--'Silver Moon Wolf',

each silver moon wolf is practically

independent, and they love hunting other

monsters and fighters. As they're also sly

and cruel, they got the name of 'Hunter'.

As of now, the weakest known silver moon

wolf is a 'medium commander level

monster', so a head of a silver moon wolf is

worth a fortune.

"This hunter we're chasing is probably a "high commander level", practically

nearing the horde leader level! Thankfully,

this hunter was already wounded when we

engaged before, so we were able to give it

another heavy wound" said the captain of

the tiger fang squad, a dark skinned, thin,

short man in a small voice, "As of now,

we've already healed up and regained our

strength! This time, we have to grab our

chance and hunt down this 'Hunter' whose

strength has declined greatly".

"Yes, captain"

The six members of the tiger fang squad

were full of fighting spirit! One dead

hunter is practically worth more than one

or two years of their income.

������

On the rooftop of one of the 21 story high

residential hall in the blue sky sector.

Five members of the fire hammer squad

had their binoculars pointed down and

were looking carefully. Han Sen held his

binocular with his left hand and his water

bottle with his right. He drank a little bit of water, put the binoculars down, tightened

up the cap of the water bottle and put it

into his back. Only after that did he

continue looking downwards with his

binoculars again.

"Captain, do we just foolishly wait here?"

asked Han Sen.

"What do you understand?" Gao Feng

laughed as he put down his binoculars, "In

this area, a 21 story high residential

apartment is already pretty high. From the

rooftop, we can scan a radius of 5 km with

our binoculars. How big is a country level

city? Of course, because some of the

buildings are blocking, our efficiency isn't

that high. However--this efficiency is

already immensely high. Everybody can

rest and find monsters. It's the best way."

Han Sen nodded.

"Captain, you guys come look here"

shouted Zhang Ke suddenly as he pointed

down in a certain direction.

WHOOSH!The other four ran there, each of them

holding their binoculars and looking

downwards. Han Sen also looked towards

the direction Zhang ke was pointing at,

and through the binoculars he saw that

there were horned boars and iron fur

boars appearing in some of the streets in

the north west direction. There was

probably a total of a couple hundred boars,

and the number of boars were still

increasing in his field of view.

"Hm?" Han Sen's eyes flashed. On one of

the streets, there was a peculiar monster

that was moving slowly and calling upon

more pig type monsters. It was completely

red and looked like a tank.

"This is the Bloodthirsty Tank?" said Han

Sen out of shock.

Out of the pig type monsters, they are

ranked at #2--Bloodthirsty Tank herd. It's

called a bloodthirsty tank, but they're also

a pig type monster. They have a large

amount of scales on them and their defense is amazing. At a glance, it

resembles an armored tank, and its

defense and attack isn't inferior to a real

tank at all.

"It's a bloodthirsty tank!"

"Man it's a big catch"

"Captain, according to the color of its

scales, it should be around a 'low

commander level monster'. Maybe nearing

'medium commander level'".

Some of the fire hammer squad members

started arguing.

"Hm"Hm, the price of a bloodthirsty tank is

quite high" laughed captain Gao Feng,

"even though it's only a low commander

level monster, its price is comparable to

medium commander level monsters. This

is a great catch! Everybody cheer up"

"Old Chen"

"Chen Gu"

The captain's voice caused Chen Gu to

finally open his eyes. Chen Gu laughed as he stood up, "Yo guys, found a commander

level monster?"

"Come and look" laughed Gao Feng.

Chen Gu sprinted over and looked through

the binoculars. He was astonished as he

said: "Damn, its the bloodthirsty tank

that's ranked second in the pig type

monsters. This guy's defense is crazy; the

armor piercing bullets I brought probably

wouldn't even be able to pierce through its

scales! Looks like it's time to use my

precious ones".

"Hurry, bullets aren't worth that much"

persuaded Gao Feng.

Chen Gu was quick; he immediately

sprinted to the steel case, took out three

blood-red colored bullets, and changed

the bullets in the sniper rifle.

"PU!"

Chen Gu laid on the roof and set up his

silverish gray heavy sniper rifle. The barrel

of the gun reflected the light from the sun.

And Chen Gu stuck out his hand to get a feel for the direction, and started doing

detailed calculations as he calibrated his

optical aimer device. The other five

members of the fire hammer squad didn't

dare make a sound.

Suddenly--

"PENG!" a deep sound full of force rang.

In practically an instant, the bullet went

through the air and shot through. Not only

was the power of this alloyed armor

piercing bullet destructively high, but its

speed was also a couple times higher than

the speed of sound. Because it was faster

than the speed of sound, the sonic boom it

causes is behind the bullet, which means

that the sound won't reach the monster

until after it has been hit by the bullet.

The bloodthirsty tank walked slowly on

the street, commanding large amounts of

monsters.

"PU!"

The scales between the back of the ear and the neck instantaneously combusted,

dramatically blowing up a hole as the

bullet forced its way through.

"AO~~" the bloodthirsty tank wailed in

pain as it started staggering and swaying

around. After it regained its balance, the

bloodthirsty tank immediately howled in

rage and bitterness over and over. In an

instant, the large amounts of pig type

monsters that were spread out

immediately rushed towards it, and the

spot where the bloodthirsty tank was hit

started bleeding. It kept howling over and

over, but it wasn't able to determine where

the bullet was shot from.

On the roof, Chen Gu slightly raised his

head and moved the optical aimer device

away from his eye as he said confidently:

"My luck was pretty good, I hit its vital

spot. This bloodthirsty boar didn't die

instantly because its life force is strong,

but it'll fall for sure within 5 minutes". The

first shot is the most effective shot in long ranged sniping because the commander

level monster isn't prepared for it.

However, if the first bullet fails to strike a

vital point, then there'll be trouble.

And a commander level monster has

extremely high defense, so its pretty good

if a bullet could just pierce through its

armor. Because of that, bullets usually

concentrate on high penetration powered

'armor piercing bullets' and not some of

the destructive explosion bullets. If you

can't even get through the armor, then

what's the point of being destructive?

"Nice shooting" laughed Zhang Ke as he

gave a thumbs up.

"The skull of a bloodthirsty tank is

extremely hard. Even if you get through

the scales, the bloodthirsty tank isn't

affected much" laughed Gao Feng, "Chen

Gu, this gun is fantastic". If Chen Gu failed,

then they would have to kill all of the

monsters guarding the bloodthirsty tank,

which is too difficult!"Don't praise me too much"

Chen Gu laughed: "Now you guys have to

think of a way to get the corpse of that

bloodthirsty tank. There are hundreds of

monsters surrounding it. And if we're too

slow..... another fighter squad might steal

our loot".

"Don't jinx it, there are probably at most

two or three fighter squads in this country

level city". Gao Feng laughed, "Alright guys,

let's tidy up and depart, to get the corpse

down there".
