The two scouts from the Night Slayer Team were both newcomers.
This time, to establish his prestige among the new recruits, Li He personally led the team, taking the entire Night Slayer Team into the wilderness for a hunting expedition.
However, Li He quickly realized that his actions were somewhat hasty.
After several expansions, the Night Slayer Team’s membership had reached three digits.
Such a large hunting squad, almost comparable to a small army, entering the wilderness to hunt, even those radiation beast packs led by three-star Beast Kings did not dare approach for an attack.
Moreover, the excessive number of people severely hampered the Night Slayer Team’s mobility.
Even though Li He was strong enough to suppress beast packs led by three-star advanced Beast Kings,
the mobility of a hundred-member hunting squad greatly paled in comparison to radiation beast packs.
After several fruitless pursuits of radiation beast packs, Li He finally had to decide to divide his forces.
He only retained a dozen elite confidants from the veteran Night Slayer Team.
The remaining veteran members were split into two sub-teams led by Lei Wu and Mo Yun, each accompanied by a few of the new recruits with average strength, patrolling the area near the Sanctuary individually.
Li He himself took the remaining members deeper into the wilderness to hunt and establish his prestige.
At this moment, the sub-team that discovered the traces of the 9th squad was led by Lei Wu.
This sub-team, although not large in number,
consisted mainly of veteran Night Slayer Team members, over a dozen of whom were star-level Transcendents.
Only two scouts were new and a bit weaker in strength.
Lei Wu, who was leading the team, had recently advanced from two-star junior to two-star mid-level.
He was at the peak of his spirits.
However, he hadn’t anticipated being left behind by Li He this time, tasked with patrolling near the Sanctuary, awaiting their return for support, which left Lei Wu feeling quite stifled.
Upon hearing the scouts’ discussion,
Lei Wu stepped forward, his eyes lit up.
"Signs of radiation beast packs fighting? Are you sure?"
Upon hearing Lei Wu’s words,
the two new members of the Night Slayer Team hesitated slightly.
How could such news be confirmed without seeing it firsthand?
Upon hearing Lei Wu’s words, the two veteran scouts of the Night Slayer Team also hesitated slightly.
Such news couldn’t be confirmed directly without witnessing it firsthand.
"In that case, let’s go take a look directly!"
Lei Wu decisively concluded, startling the two scouts.
"But, Vice Captain Lei, isn’t this too hasty? The Captain ordered us to just patrol near the Sanctuary, after all!"
The two scouts couldn’t help but voice their concern.
But hearing their words only made Lei Wu more agitated.
"Are you teaching me how to do my job?"
He didn’t say much, merely coldly stared at the two newcomers, the chill in his eyes making them gulp involuntarily, voicing nervously, "No, we are listening to you!"
"Then if you’re listening, move quickly!"
Lei Wu waved his hand to urge the other veteran Night Slayer Team members to move, the fierce light in his eyes flickering.
"If there really is a battle between radiation beast packs, it would be a great opportunity!"
During a fierce fight between two radiation beast packs, leading his team to wipe them out in one stroke.
Then, in front of the Captain, he would have some face, and in similar situations in the future, he wouldn’t be assigned to patrol around the Sanctuary with a bunch of weaklings!
Thinking about this, Lei Wu’s eyes flashed with excitement.
His pace quickened a bit more!
The sub-team led by Lei Wu moved swiftly without being slowed by any trailers.
In less than half an hour, guided by the two scouts, they reached the vicinity of the 9th squad with speed.
Upon reaching this point, even Lei Wu and his team sensed the heavy scent of blood in the air.
The two new scouts were somewhat nervous.
But the veteran Night Slayer Team members, upon smelling the blood, displayed not only fighting spirits but also a bit of sickly frenzy and ferocity.
The bloodthirst in his eyes even overshadowed the excitement of making a contribution, as he licked his lips subconsciously, like a wild beast, making the two new scouts feel chilled!
the mystery lay in that,
as they gradually approached the area, the air’s bloody scent grew thicker.
Even they felt an unspeakable heat rising, making them want to kill something to alleviate this inexplicable heat!
While the two new scouts were in shock,
"Vice Captain Lei! Come quickly! The source of the bloody scent isn’t from radiation beast packs!"
One veteran Night Slayer Team member exclaimed excitedly, keeping his voice low but filled with delight!
"Not from radiation beast packs, then what is it..."
Lei Wu couldn’t help cursing under his breath, while still looking in the direction indicated by the teammate, parting the dry grass.
In an instant, his eyes were filled with excitement!
"This is truly... an unexpected surprise!"
At the end of Lei Wu’s gaze,
the 9th squad’s trailer was slowly moving along the road towards them.
On the trailer, carcasses of radiation beasts emitted a strong bloody scent.
The source of the bloody scent they noticed along their way was evidently the spoils of this squad!
But this was not the point.
The point was, even from a distance of nearly one kilometer, Lei Wu, who had advanced to two-star mid-level, saw Yang Lie standing alertly in front of the trailer as soon as he parted the grass, making his eyes instantly flush with bloodlust!
"I say, how about we do this right here?"
Lei Wu did not turn around, but lowered his voice and spoke calmly, his words making the old Night Slayer Team members behind him breathe suddenly become heavy!
"Vice, Vice Captain Lei?"
The two new scouts, sensing the change in their companions, were almost scared senseless.
Initially, upon seeing the members of the 9th squad and realizing the bloody scent wasn’t from radiation beast packs but from the 9th squad’s spoils, they felt stifled by the unrelieved heat.
But this frustration was still bearable for them.
Yet what they never expected.
Was that Lei Wu would be bold enough to harbor murderous intent against the hunting squad members of the same Sanctuary!
What startled and frightened them even more,
was that the other veteran Night Slayer Team members, for some unknown reason, seemed inclined to side with Lei Wu!
"What... what’s going on with the Night Slayer Team!?"
