To the north of Lindong Shelter, about 20 kilometers away, there was a huge mountain range.
The terrain of the mountain range was intricate and complex. There were many hidden deadly dangers. Usually, Lindong Shelter's mercenaries wouldn't go deep into this mountain range.
However, the outskirts of the mountain range was a hunting area for mercenaries. From time to time, they could hunt some exotic beasts. Demonic beasts were almost inedible. Only high-ranking demonic beasts were worth some money. Ordinary first or second awakening demonic beast materials were already overflowing. Even if they brought back a truck full of materials, they wouldn't be able to sell it for a few spirit stones.
Exotic beasts were different. Even the lowest-level exotic beast's meat was exceptionally delicious. It was said that some high-level exotic beast's meat contained a lot of energy. If ordinary people ate it, it could slowly improve their physical fitness.
Exotic beast meat was becoming more and more popular in Lindong.
A five-man team carefully walked through the mountain forest.
"Be careful. We've entered the outskirts of the mountain range. I hope we can come out in one piece and go back in one piece."
"Don't worry, Captain. Although it's our first time here, we're not weak. As long as we're careful, we'll be fine. But I don't know if we can find any exotic beasts. If we just hunt some demonic beasts, we won't earn much spirit stones."
"Yeah …"
The others nodded.
They were originally a mercenary team active in the area around Lindong Shelter. However, as the number of hunters increased, their strength also became stronger and stronger. In the area near the shelter, there were too many demonic beasts, and the surrounding resources had long been looted, making it almost impossible for them to survive. That's why they came here to find a way out.
"Still be careful." The captain said, "The danger level in this area is far higher than the shelter's surrounding areas. The hunters active here are also much stronger. We have to …"
As they were talking, a loud noise came from a distance.
Then they heard a painful roar. They saw the trees in front of them were broken and crushed. A giant beast the size of a small car rushed out.
The giant beast's body was bloated, its limbs were thick and short, and its whole body was glowing with a metallic luster. It was like a tank rampaging, leaving a mess in its wake.
The captain exclaimed, "This, this is a Metal Swallowing Beast?"
Someone reacted very quickly. "Captain, is this the type of exotic beast that consumes metal and condenses it in its body to form a higher grade metal?"
The captain nodded.
"It's said that the metal is hard and tough. Most importantly, it's source power conductivity is particularly good. A palm-sized piece of metal can be sold at a sky-high price in the shelter. If we can get it, won't we be rich?"
As the man spoke, he shook his head dejectedly.
They were clearly aware that they were no match for the Metal Swallowing Beast at all with the strength it had displayed.
"Wait, look at the Metal Swallowing Beast's abdomen. There are burn marks … Look over there. There really are people hunting the Metal Swallowing Beast. They've almost caught up to it."
The few figures in his line of sight were flying at an extremely fast speed.
"That's …" The captain's eyes widened. "It turned out to be the Flame Squad. No wonder. After all, the Flame Squad is a top veteran mercenary team. It's said that their leader, Wang Wu, has broken through the Fifth Awakening Stage. It's not surprising that they have the ability to deal with this Metal Swallowing Beast."
Originally, they wanted to wait for the Metal Swallowing Beast to leave and see if they could find some metal. Even if it wasn't condensed, the metal that could be swallowed by the Metal Swallowing Beast was generally more precious.
But now, they didn't dare to approach.
They just wanted to get away from here. If they were found by the Flame Squad, they would probably be killed.
"Let's go. The Metal Swallowing Beast can't escape. We'd better leave while the Flame Squad is hunting."
The team nodded and was about to leave.
But suddenly, their eyes widened and looked into the distance.
A large net fell from the sky and enveloped the Metal Swallowing Beast. At the corners of the net were four sharp nails that were driven deep into the ground. It was unknown what the net was made of, but no matter how much the Metal Swallowing Beast struggled, it could not break free.
Wang Wu, who had almost caught up with the Metal Swallowing Beast, was suddenly shocked. "Who is it!"
In the forest not far away, more than a dozen burly men walked out. These burly men quietly guarded the two sides, while an inconspicuous young man slowly walked forward.
This young man wasn't strong. Standing in the middle of a group of big men, he looked thin and weak.
However, Wang Wu's pupils shrank in an instant, and he immediately put on a vigilant posture.
In the distance, the members of the passerby team were even more surprised.
"Who are those people? Why does the Flame Squad look so scared?"
The captain, who was already a veteran, couldn't help but take a step back when he saw the young man. "Have you heard of the Forget Worries Bar?"
"The Forget Worries Bar? The bar that is very powerful in the slums and is said to have a lot of hunters? Could it be that these people are from the Forget Worries Bar? But even if it's the Forget Worries Bar, in front of a top mercenary team like the Flame Squad, isn't it? "
The team members were even more puzzled.
"Yes, it's just the Forget Worries Bar. Naturally, it's far from the Flame Squad. But did you notice the young man in the middle? That man is called Gray Blade. He's the one that the Flame Squad is really afraid of."
"It's said that after integrating the power of the Forget Worries Bar, he created a mercenary group. During this time, his ranking in the mission center is getting higher and higher. Although it's not recognized as the top team, and although the other members are not experts, the man named Gray Blade is extremely terrifying. It's said that no one who was targeted by him could survive."
After being explained, the team members all took a deep breath. No wonder …
When they looked at Gray Blade again, their gazes instantly changed. Just him standing there alone was enough to make the entire top team feel fear. When would they be able to have this kind of strength?
Just thinking about it made them look forward to it.
At this moment, Gray Blade was looking at the giant beast with a metallic luster in front of him.
"We've finally caught the Metal Swallowing Beast. Sir Lord, the last material needed to build the Floating Chariot is almost ready. Now, we need to find a way to transport this Metal Swallowing Beast back to the territory, but …" He glanced at Wang Wu and the others not far away and frowned.
Wang Wu stared at Gray Blade.
After hesitating for a while, he suddenly showed a fierce look.
He gestured to the team members, and a team member who was good with guns immediately fired a shot.
This shot was not aimed at Gray Blade, nor at the other strong men, but accurately hit a thread connected to the nail that was submerged in the ground.
Sparks flew.
The thread broke.
The Metal Swallowing Beast struggled more and more fiercely. The ground at the other three corners of the big net cracked. With a bang, gravel flew everywhere. The nail that had been firmly stuck in the depths of the ground was sent flying by the Metal Swallowing Beast's tremendous force.
The next moment, the Metal Swallowing Beast rigged its horsepower and rushed straight out of the big net.
The momentum of this charge was unstoppable.
In an instant, it rushed a long distance away.
Gray Blade frowned.
Sir Lord had ordered that it would be best to catch this Metal Swallowing Beast alive.
Thinking of this, he could not care about the Flame Squad and the others, and hurriedly chased after the Metal Swallowing Beast.
Wang Wu and the others also hurried to catch up.
In the distance, there were many mercenary squads that recognized the Metal Swallowing Beast and thought they had the strength to get a piece of the pie. They also flew over here.
The experts shuttled through the woods.
Gray Blade took the lead and was about to catch up.
There were super experts who were not willing to fall behind, and they ran over the trees.
Suddenly, a towering cliff appeared in front of them. The Metal Swallowing Beast seemed to be running a little too fast and couldn't make a turn, so it ran straight into it.
Boom!
The rocks on the cliff rustled down.
However, just when everyone thought that the Metal Swallowing Beast would be stuck in the rock wall, they saw a large piece of rock wall in front of them, like glass, shattering inch by inch.
It revealed a huge hole with a diameter of more than ten meters.
The center of the hole was filled with gray mist, spiraling like a whirlpool.
