"I agree!"
Shen Ping nodded. During this time, he had been Cultivating at home. Although the efficiency was not as high as in the Wilderness Area, the guidance technique and exertion of the fourth level of Flowing Wind allowed his body's genetic improvement speed to catch up to when he was previously in the Wilderness Area.
Therefore, in just over a month, his punching power reached ten thousand kilograms, and his speed exceeded 100m/s. With a full break out of his saber technique, he was already comparable to an Elementary Warlord!
And on this trip to the Wilderness Area, he had originally planned to earn a lot of money, so just as Bai Feng said, 003 City was the most suitable.
Since Shen Ping agreed, Wang Zhan and Li Zi had no objections, and as for Chen Ying, she had even fewer.
After making the decision, the squad set off.
From Huazhong Base City to the Southeast Military Region, which is adjacent to 003 City, it was naturally impossible to take a train. Shen Ping and his teammates chose a large passenger plane, first flying from Huazhong Base City to Jiangnan Base City, and then from Jiangnan Base City to the supply base of the Southeast Military Region.
"As expected of the Southeast Military Region, even their supply base is so huge, and there are so many Martial Artists… In just this short time, I've already seen several God of War-level powerhouses!"
After getting the key to their lodging, Wang Zhan was excited.
At the supply base in Huazhong Base City, they would occasionally encounter a God of War, but here it was completely different.
"The Southeast Military Region is close to the sea, and the sea monsters are the most numerous there. Every year, there are one or two Beast Tides, sometimes even Level 2 Beast Tides, and ten years ago, there was even a Level 1 Beast Tide. Naturally, the surrounding supply bases far surpass those of other Base Cities!"
Bai Feng said, greeting the passing Martial Artists around her.
She still had some renown in the Martial Artist circle.
Wang Zhan, Li Zi, and Chen Ying also had renown, but it was limited to Huazhong Base City.
"Oh, Captain Bai Feng, you've also come to the Southeast Military Region?"
At this moment, members of the Howling Bear Squad walked over.
"Captain Zeng."
Bai Feng smiled and stepped forward to greet him, "Our squad plans to venture into 003 City this time."
Captain Zeng of the Howling Bear Squad laughed heartily, "Bai Feng, you've finally come to your senses. Martial Artists must be daring; what's there to fear in danger? We're also heading to 003 City this time, so maybe we'll even run into each other!"
Bai Feng's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "If we do meet, then we'll have to trouble Captain Zeng to take good care of us."
Captain Zeng grinned and then left with his members.
The Black Ice Squad rested for a day at the supply base, then departed in the late afternoon, heading towards 003 City.
Following the dilapidated highway, Shen Ping and his teammates traveled for about two days before reaching the vicinity of 003 City.
At this time, the weather was clear, and visibility was very high. The members of the Black Ice Squad carefully crouched, constantly avoiding a large number of monsters by relying on the dense weeds and trees along the way.
Upon nearing the city's edge, they quickly found a four or five-story building and hid inside.
In inland cities, the number of avian monsters is small, so most squads would stay on open rooftops.
But here, avian monsters are numerous, and Martial Artists dare not stay on rooftops.
"Phew!"
"We're finally safe for now!"
Wang Zhan, Li Zi, Chen Ying, and the others all let out a sigh of relief, slumping onto the windowsill.
"I've long heard that in 003 City, Warlord-level monsters are everywhere, and they rarely have a large number of beast soldiers gathered around them. Now it seems to be true!"
"I've paid attention; just on the path we took to get here, there were at least ten solitary Elementary Warlords!"
Wang Zhan's voice was filled with excitement.
Solitary Elementary Warlords were like picking up money in their eyes!
"Tsk tsk, there are a large number of Lord monsters entrenched here, and Advanced Warlord-level monsters are also very numerous. Naturally, the Elementary and Intermediate Warlords, who usually Lord it over in Earth-Grade cities, have to keep a low profile here!"
Li Zi chuckled strangely.
Shen Ping also had a look of anticipation on his face. Their main targets this time were Elementary and Intermediate Warlords, and the more solitary ones there were, the faster they would earn money.
Bai Feng observed the surroundings with binoculars, then looked at the map, and said, "Our destination, Jiayuan High-End Residential Area, is about one kilometer from here. Everyone stay alert; this path won't be easy. We'll rest once we reach the stronghold!"
Immediately, the Black Ice Squad members quickly left the small building.
"Caw caw!"
"Chirp chirp!"
Avian monsters circled in the sky. Their eagle-like sharp eyes could clearly see the ground conditions, and Martial Artists were naturally at a disadvantage against avian monsters. Only Psycher Masters did not fear avian creatures.
The Black Ice Squad had no Psycher Master, so they could only proceed slowly, constantly using buildings, street shops, and trees and vines to conceal their figures.
As for moving on the streets, that was no different from seeking death.
They covered a mere one-kilometer distance, taking several hours. It was almost evening when they finally arrived at Jiayuan High-End Residential Area.
"As expected of the Devil's Den battlefield, there are too many monsters! Normally, we could cover this one kilometer in less than a minute at full speed!"
Wang Zhan grinned, tossing a bottle of mineral water to Shen Ping, Li Zi, and the others, then guzzling his own down.
Throughout the journey, they were highly tense, fearing they would attract the attention of avian creatures in the sky or some Warlords on the ground.
After all, once a battle began, it would definitely attract the attention of a large number of monsters.
"We'll rest tonight. Li Zi, Wang Zhan, you two take turns on night watch. Tomorrow, we officially begin!"
Bai Feng took out some food from her backpack and instructed.
"Alright."
Here, they had to have someone on night watch. They dared not sleep directly on the rooftop as they used to.
A night passed.
The next day, it was still dim. Early in the morning, as soon as Shen Ping woke up, he found a one-horned wild boar wandering downstairs, with only two or three beast soldiers by its side.
"You're the one!"
A smile appeared on Shen Ping's lips. After two or three days of traveling, his battle saber had long been thirsting for action.
Immediately, he leaped out of the window, quickly scaling down the wall to the ground floor.
The one-horned wild boar immediately spotted Shen Ping. Its black fur stood on end, and its bloodshot eyes gleamed with bloodlust. Almost instantly, it charged fiercely towards Shen Ping, its four hooves pounding the ground.
The distance of a hundred meters was covered in the blink of an eye.
Shen Ping stood still. When the one-horned wild boar's sharp horn was about to pierce his chest, he lightly tapped his toes, and his body swayed away like the wind. Immediately after, his battle saber chopped vertically, and with a tearing sound, the battle saber sliced down along the wild boar's neck.
Thud.
The one-horned wild boar's head fell off, and its body, propelled by momentum, crashed into the wall.
The other three Advanced beast soldiers also charged over.
Shen Ping's body suddenly charged.
Swoosh, swoosh.
As the saber's shadow flickered, the three Advanced beast soldiers also became corpses.
From his landing to killing these four monsters, the entire process took only a few seconds.
Whoosh.
Bai Feng, who had already woken up, leaped down.
After landing, she looked at the corpses on the ground, a smile in her eyes, "Excellent, Xiao Shen, your saber technique and movement technique are getting more and more formidable."
"That Elementary Warlord's one-horned wild boar charged extremely fast. Even I would have to dodge in advance. Only a movement technique with Major Achievement in the Subtle Realm could allow you to dodge with such minute movements."
As she spoke, Bai Feng began to process the monster corpses.
For the next seven or eight days, the Black Ice Squad used Jiayuan High-End Residential Area as their stronghold, hunting in the surrounding areas.
Shen Ping and Bai Feng were the main force, especially Shen Ping, whose efficiency in killing Warlord-level monsters was simply too high, even faster than Chen Ying, the sniper expert. Moreover, even Intermediate Warlords only required one saber strike.
His perfect-level movement technique and combat power comparable to an Elementary Warlord made Shen Ping face Intermediate Warlords with ease. Even when facing Intermediate Warlords surrounded by dozens of beast soldiers, he killed them effortlessly.
