Half a day passed, around four in the afternoon.
The Phantom Squad members had finished resting, even Wang Zhi, who was in charge of guard duty, had rested for a few hours after Zheng Tao relieved him.
At this time, on the balcony of the sixteenth floor of the residential building, Zheng Tao had begun searching for Beast General-level monsters with binoculars.
"Zheng Tao, how's it going? Have you found any big fish?" Zhou Zheng walked over and asked.
Zheng Tao smiled helplessly, "Brother Zhou, the monster density in City 023 is much lower than in City 003. I've been searching for a while and haven't found a single high-level Beast General-level monster. The strongest one I've found is a herd of monsters led by a mid-level Beast General and two low-level Beast Generals!"
"It's almost evening, many monsters will come out to forage. Keep searching, you'll find one eventually!" Zhou Zheng walked over, patted Zheng Tao on the shoulder, and then also took out a pair of binoculars to observe the surrounding area.
With the Phantom Squad's strength, it would be a complete waste of their talents to specifically target mid-level Beast Generals.
Therefore, the Phantom Squad's targets are usually beast packs led by high-level beast generals. As for mid-level and low-level beast generals, they are simply killed casually when encountered on the road.
"Don't worry, everyone!" Chu Tian said from the side, "Although there are fewer high-level monsters in City 023, it's safer. As long as we don't provoke those two lord-level monsters, we generally won't encounter any danger!"
After saying that, Chu Tian also took out a pair of binoculars from his backpack and went to the window on the other side of the room to look for traces of high-level beast generals.
"Brother Tian, look this way!" Lu Qing suddenly pointed in a direction and exclaimed.
Chu Tian and the others all rushed over, each holding a pair of binoculars and looking in the direction Lu Qing pointed.
Yang Wu also looked in the direction Lu Qing pointed, and saw that in a large warehouse about 1,800 or 1,900 meters to the east of the community, there were nearly a thousand bovine monsters.
"Captain, it's an Ironclad Bull herd! There's one high-level beast general, one mid-level beast general,
and three low-level beast generals!" Zhou Zheng said after careful observation, puzzled. "That shouldn't be the case; I didn't hear about such a herd when I came here!" This group of Ironclad Bulls was quite large, and they occupied a large warehouse as their stronghold, clearly their lair.
Generally, if a martial arts team discovers such a herd, they will share the information with other martial arts teams. After all, high-level beast generals can already pose a danger to most martial arts teams.
"It seems this group of Ironclad Bulls has only recently migrated here; no martial arts team has discovered them yet!" Zheng Tao said.
"Then I'll share the news with the nearby martial arts teams to prevent them from provoking these Ironclad Bulls!" Zhou Zheng said.
If a martial arts team discovers a large herd in the wilderness, they usually share the information with familiar martial arts teams.
In the wilderness, there aren't many martial arts teams that can handle this herd of armored bulls, though the Phantom Team is one of them.
"No need!" Chu Tian suddenly said, "As long as we kill the five Beast General-level armored bulls in the herd, the herd will disperse in less than half a day!"
"Captain, that's nearly a thousand armored bulls!" Zhou Zheng said with some worry, "We're not afraid, but this is Yang Wu's first time in the wilderness. Isn't it too dangerous? Should we deal with them when we're almost back in the base city?"
The impact of bovine monsters is extremely powerful, and the armored bulls' defense is incredibly strong. If nearly a thousand armored bulls charge together, even a beginner War God might encounter trouble.
Therefore, Zhou Zheng still wanted Yang Wu to practice against other herds first.
"It's alright!" Chu Tian certainly wouldn't easily change his mind. "There's no time like the present. These nearly a thousand armored bulls are troublesome, but not too dangerous. Although Yang Wu's physical strength is a bit lacking, his combat experience and skills are almost as good as ours. Dealing with these armored bulls shouldn't be a problem! Yang Wu, what do you say?"
"Captain, I'm fine!" Yang Wu quickly replied.
Since Yang Wu agreed, Zhou Zheng naturally couldn't say anything more, but he secretly thought he would take extra care of Yang Wu later.
"Alright, let's go!" Chu Tian ordered.
The six members of the Phantom Squad immediately packed their equipment and went downstairs to the vicinity of the large warehouse where the armored bulls were located.
Captain Chu Tian's mental energy constantly surrounded the area, guarding against any possible unexpected situations.

Chu Tian led the way, with Yang Wu and Lu Qing in the center, Zheng Tao and Wang Zhi flanking them, and Zhou Zheng at the rear.
"Hmm?" Just as they descended the stairs, Yang Wu and the others spotted a lone, low-level Beast General-grade Silver Lightning Python.
"Brother Zheng, Wang Zhi, this Silver Lightning Python is yours!" Chu Tian ordered.
The Silver Lightning Python was only about two hundred meters away from the Phantom Squad. If Chu Tian used his throwing knives, he could probably kill it instantly.
However, this would mean that when distributing the spoils according to contribution, Chu Tian would receive 60%!
But, such a low-level Beast General-grade Silver Lightning Python could be easily killed by any one of the six members of the Phantom Squad, including Yang Wu.
This might be fine once or twice, but if it continued, even the closest relationships would crumble.
Therefore, when encountering a lone Beast General-grade monster, Chu Tian usually had several team members take turns attacking, ensuring a more reasonable distribution of the spoils.
Of course, on average, the biggest harvest still went to Chu Tian, the captain who was a martial artist and a mentalist.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Upon receiving the order, Wang Zhi and Zheng Tao swiftly attacked the fleeing Silver Lightning Python.
Two elite mid-level warriors, working together to deal with a low-level beast general, naturally couldn't afford any mishaps.
Half a minute later, the Silver Lightning Python's materials were in Wang Zhi's backpack!
"Alright, harvest complete, let's continue!" Chu Tian waved and said.
...
Half an hour later, the Phantom Squad appeared near the large warehouse where the Ironclad Bull was located.
Along the way, Yang Wu and the others encountered several more beast general-level monsters, some lone like the Silver Lightning Python, others gathered with many beast soldier-level monsters.
However, facing the Phantom Squad, the top-tier team below the War God level, without any surprises, these beast general-level monsters all ended up as materials in the Phantom Squad's backpacks.
"Now, let's start assigning tasks!"
In a hidden corner near the large warehouse, Captain Chu Tian whispered.
"Xiao Qing, you and I will work together to kill that mid-level beast general-grade armored bull first. Make sure it's a fatal blow!" Chu Tian ordered.
To be more certain, Chu Tian didn't target the most powerful high-level beast general in the horde first.
Then Chu Tian turned to Yang Wu: "Yang Wu, you stay with Xiao Qing and protect her. Make sure the monsters don't get close!"
"Don't worry, Captain!" Yang Wu quickly assured him, "I definitely won't let the monsters get near Sister Qing!"
"I'll handle the high-level beast general-grade armored bull! Zhou Zheng, Zheng Tao, Wang Zhi, you three deal with the remaining three low-level beast generals!" "
After killing the monsters, Zhou Zheng will be responsible for collecting monster materials, and the rest of you will hold off the horde!"
"Roger!" "Roger!"
Zhou Zheng and the others responded.
"Alright, prepare to move!"
At Chu Tian's command, Zhou Zheng and the others were already poised to attack, while Lu Qing put her machine gun aside and took out her bow and arrows.
