"Alright, this Bloodthirsty Tank will be left for Yang Wu to practice on!" Chu Tian ordered, "Everyone, follow me to kill the beast horde, and be sure to leave the Bloodthirsty Tank alive!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The six members of the Phantom Squad were all on high alert. Although their target was only a beast horde led by a low-level Beast General, they would go all out once the battle began.
"Attack!"
Chu Tian gave the order and charged towards the beast horde on the left front.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Instantly, the six members of the Phantom Squad transformed into six afterimages, rushing towards the beast horde.
At the forefront were Chu Tian and Zhou Zheng, two high-level warriors, followed closely by Wang Zhi, Zheng Tao, and Lu Qing, while Yang Wu, who was only a low-level warrior, lagged behind.
At the same time, Lu Qing, who was rushing forward, drew his bow and nocked an arrow. Several silver streaks flew out first, shooting towards the beast horde like lightning. The throwing knives clipped to Chu Tian's combat uniform also instantly flew up and hovered around him.
The distance of over a thousand meters was covered in an instant.
The first to arrive were the arrows fired by Lu Qing.
Before the beast horde could react, the arrows had already pierced the center of the horde, taking the lives of several Beast Soldier-level monsters.
"Boom..."
With a deafening roar, the miniature bombs attached to the arrows exploded violently. The powerful blast instantly killed the monsters near the arrows, and the horde was thrown into disarray by the explosion.
The bombs had limited power, at most harming only a few monsters at the center of the blast. As for the Beast General-level Bloodthirsty Tank, it was completely unharmed.
Of course, this was because Lu Qing's arrows deliberately avoided the Bloodthirsty Tank; otherwise, with Lu Qing's intermediate-level warrior strength, a single arrow would likely have severely injured it.
"Roar!!"
The leader of the horde, the entirely red Bloodthirsty Tank, finally spotted the six members of the Phantom Squad. Its fur stood on end, like steel needles.
The beasts surrounding the Bloodthirsty Tank roared furiously, their cries echoing across the wilderness, filled with rage and madness. Led by the Bloodthirsty Tank, the frenzied boars charged towards the humans.
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
The throwing knives circling Chu Tian finally moved, the eight knives instantly transforming into eight afterimages.
"Thud!"
A knife pierced the throat of a one-horned boar, and then, under Chu Tian's control, it pierced the skull of another monster with astonishing speed. In
the blink of an eye, the eight throwing knives had killed all but the Bloodthirsty Tank among the dozens of monsters charging at the forefront!
The distance of over a thousand meters hadn't allowed Chu Tian and the rest of the Phantom Squad to create much of a gap.
"Captain, leave a few for me!"
Yang Wu only heard Zheng Tao laugh loudly, then a black streak of light shot from Zheng Tao's hand with astonishing speed.
Upon closer inspection, it was a large black hammer.
*Bang!*
The black hammer instantly crushed the leading beast-soldier-level monster, yet continued its charge towards another monster, killing it without slowing down.
Immediately afterward, a blur of motion rushed into the horde – it was Zheng Tao, unleashing his full speed.
Zheng Tao swiftly retrieved his free-hand hammer and began slaughtering the beasts.
With several loud 'thuds', the heads of the monsters surrounding Zheng Tao were smashed open.
Simultaneously, Wang Zhi, wielding a battle sword and shield, also charged into the horde. Several flashes of cold light appeared, and the monsters near him were all decapitated.
On one side was a small horde led by a low-level beast-general-level monster; on the other was a Phantom Squad composed entirely of warrior-general-level warriors, each an elite among them.
The difference in strength was immense.
In less than a minute, the Phantom Squad had wiped out the entire horde, leaving only a low-level beast-general-level Bloodthirsty Tank occasionally emitting low growls.
Monsters are inherently brutal, and pig-like monsters aren't particularly intelligent, but to reach the Beast General level, this Bloodthirsty Tank has acquired some intelligence.
Facing a group of humans who could take its life at any moment, the Bloodthirsty Tank was terrified and dared not make a move.
"Yang Wu, this Bloodthirsty Tank is yours!"

Chu Tian calmly wiped the blood dripping from his throwing knife as he spoke.
"Yang Wu, this is your first time facing a Beast General-level monster. Be careful, you can do it!" Zhou Zheng reminded him from the side.
"Yang Wu, good luck!" Zheng Tao also encouraged him.
The other two, Lu Qing and Wang Zhi, also looked at Yang Wu.
As for the low-level Beast General-level Bloodthirsty Tank, no one paid any attention to it. If it weren't for training Yang Wu, the materials from the Bloodthirsty Tank would have already been in the Phantom Squad's backpacks.
Yang Wu grinned and said, "Captain, Brother Zhou, just watch as I retrieve the materials from this Bloodthirsty Tank!"
After saying that, Yang Wu quickly moved towards the Bloodthirsty Tank in front of him.
"Captain, you have to be careful. Don't let this Bloodthirsty Tank really hurt Yang Wu. It won't be easy to explain to Supervisor Zhuge later!" Zhou Zheng couldn't help but remind him.
After learning that Yang Wu had joined the Phantom Squad, Zhuge Tao personally treated Chu Tian and Zhou Zheng to a meal and asked them to take care of Yang Wu.
"Don't worry!"
Chu Tian nodded slowly. Although his hands didn't move, his mental energy constantly surrounded Yang Wu. If he sensed anything amiss, he would act immediately.
...
At this moment, Yang Wu had stopped about a hundred meters in front of the Bloodthirsty Tank. Because of the other members of the Phantom Squad, the Bloodthirsty Tank dared not make any rash moves, and Yang Wu, too, stared intently at the Bloodthirsty Tank in front of him.
"Combining movement and stillness, using stillness to control movement!"
Yang Wu carefully observed the Bloodthirsty Tank in front of him, trying to find its weakness.
"This is my first battle, and it's also a test from the captains. I must fight well!"
Yang Wu thought to himself.
"Roar!!"
The Bloodthirsty Tank roared. It could no longer hold back. Even if it died, it would make these humans pay the price.
"Boom!!"
The Bloodthirsty Tank suddenly sped up, as if it had truly transformed into a high-speed tank, unstoppable, and crashed directly into Yang Wu from the front.
"I can't block it head-on!"
Yang Wu's mind raced, and he used his near-microscopic movement technique, dodging quickly like an agile monkey.
At the same time, Yang Wu's Breaking Army Spear thrust out from the side at an incredible angle, like a bolt of lightning, piercing the Bloodthirsty Tank's abdomen just as they passed each other.
"Awooo!"
The Bloodthirsty Tank roared in pain as a huge wound was torn open in its abdomen by the Breaking Army Spear.
But just as Yang Wu was about to get away from it—
whoosh!
A black shadow shot towards Yang Wu's heart.
"So fast!"
Yang Wu was startled and quickly twisted to avoid the black shadow. Upon closer inspection, it was the Bloodthirsty Tank's tail, which resembled a long whip.
"You're asking for death!"
Enraged by the Bloodthirsty Tank's tail sneak attack, Yang Wu immediately used a 'Returning Spear' move!
Yang Wu placed his right hand on the end of the spear shaft, and gently spun it in the middle of the shaft with his left hand!
Thud!
The spinning tip of the Breaking Army Spear pierced directly into the Bloodthirsty Tank's rear end from behind!
"Roar—"
The Bloodthirsty Tank roared madly, turning around violently and charging towards Yang Wu. The
severely wounded Bloodthirsty Tank became even more ferocious!
