In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

At noon, the operation officially began.

The main force occupied the left and right flanks as well as the rear area.

Li Yuan and Xia Yao's two special forces teams were hidden and lying in ambush near the camp.

According to the pre-arranged plan, once the Rock Bear Demon senses danger, its first choice will be to flee into the depths of the wilderness.

The location where Li Yuan and Xia Yao were stationed should theoretically be the worst possible escape route.

Theoretically, there is only a very small chance that the Rock Bear Demon will escape this way.

The mission of the two special forces teams was not to kill the ferocious beasts.

Upon seeing the Rock Bear Demon, the goal is to delay and contain it.

Hold it off, and the regular troops will rush up and kill it.

At this moment, all three teams are in position.

Deputy Battalion Commander Fang immediately dispatched scouts to the location of the lair that Li Yuan had discovered.

Team leaders like Li Yuan all carried walkie-talkies, constantly listening to orders.

Ten minutes after the reconnaissance team set off, there was a sudden burst of noise on the walkie-talkie.

Then came screams, cries of terror.

The scouts who had narrowly escaped began reporting the situation: "Rock Bear Demons are confirmed! Rock Bear Demons are confirmed!"

I retreated to the left flank...

Before the investigator could finish his report, his voice was quickly replaced by screams.

"The left, center, and rear wings, move in to encircle the center, immediately!"

Deputy Battalion Commander Fang immediately ordered his troops to surround and attack.

It's impossible for the deputy battalion commander not to be heartbroken that the reconnaissance personnel he sent out were attacked and killed.

But right now, he has no time to feel heartache.

If the Rock Bear Demon escapes, even he, the deputy battalion commander, will lose half his life.

The walkie-talkies were set to command mode, meaning that only those designated by Deputy Battalion Commander Fang could speak and relay messages.

Around the lair, the Rock Bear Demon had already run into the group.

Unexpectedly, this A-rank Rock Bear Demon was not quickly killed.

Its tough outer skin, ferocious strength and speed injured several people in a single encounter.

The Little Rock Bear, a Class B ferocious beast, is one of the most difficult to deal with.

The Rock Bear Demon is a variant of it, and naturally, it is even more terrifying to deal with.

When the surrounding team rushed in, there were still more than ten rock bear cubs inside the den!

Unsurprisingly, these are Rock Bear Demon's harem.

The little rock bear charged forward fiercely, pouncing and biting the warriors who came to strangle them.

The more this situation arises, the more it proves the urgency of this mission.

The Rock Bear Demon is truly preparing to multiply and thrive in this area.

The offspring of a mating with a rock bear inherit half of the rock bear demon's genes and will be incredibly difficult to deal with.

After another moment of panic, the frontline command fell completely silent over the walkie-talkie.

Thirteen minutes later, Deputy Battalion Commander Fang's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Two special forces teams, prepare! The Rock Bear Demon is coming to the rear flank!"

Deputy Battalion Commander Fang tried his best to restrain himself, but his tone still revealed obvious disappointment.

At Sunset Mountain camp, one-third of the martial artists had arrived.

Despite being sandwiched between three loaves of bread, the Rock Bear Demon still managed to escape.

There may be other reasons, but when the higher-ups investigate, they will only say that his deputy battalion commander failed to command effectively.

Even if the problem lies with the martial artists below, it's still his fault as the deputy battalion commander.

Li Yuan wasn't surprised by that many things.

I had already sensed something was wrong from the noise coming from the walkie-talkie.

Martial artists are also human; they too will feel fear when they see a ferocious A-level beast.

The noise from the walkie-talkie reflected the situation and the challenges of preparing for battle.

Li Yuan had already clearly noticed this when he heard it.

The warriors who faced the challenge lost their morale.

If morale is lost, fear will only intensify and the terror will grow.

Then, they will want to escape and dare not move forward.

There are clear regulations in the military that deserters will be severely punished.

Although the warriors did not flee, they lost their sharpness in taking the initiative to fight.

Given this situation, it's perfectly normal that we can't kill this Rank A ferocious beast.

The special forces team stationed in the rear, originally a backup plan, has now become an important part of the operation.

Li Yuan turned to look at the team members, including Luo Jinfan, who were all eager to get started.

Li Yuan knew that they had not yet witnessed the ferocity of the Rock Bear Demon, and their arrogance had taken hold of their minds.

"Let me emphasize again, our mission is to contain this A-level ferocious beast, not to kill it."

Li Yuan looked at his team members and emphasized again.

A-grade ferocious beasts are strong enough to rival eighth-grade martial artists.

In the special forces team, only Xia Yao was at the seventh rank of martial arts, and she simply didn't have the strength to fight head-on.

Special forces teams are meant to carry out special missions.

With superb agility and martial arts skills, create great opportunities with minimal cost.

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, no one in the team responded; they all remained vigilant, watching the area ahead.

Suddenly, Li Yuan saw a flash of white light ahead.

"Get out of the way, let those two beasts pass!"

The moment he saw it clearly, Li Yuan, as the team leader, immediately issued an order.

The team members still did not respond, and Luo Jinfan gripped a sharp longsword tightly in his hand, ready to fight.

A moment later, two little rock bears rushed out.

Luo Jinfan and several team members ignored Li Yuan's orders and charged forward with their weapons.

The group and two baby rock bears got into a fight.

"Let them go, immediately!"

Li Yuan reminded them again, but they simply wouldn't listen.

Even as he trembled, Luo Jinfan managed to reply, "Don't even mention letting this little rock bear go."

Even if it were a D-rank ferocious beast, I wouldn't let it pass.

Seeing that his squad was completely disobeying orders, Li Yuan looked at Xia Yao in the distance.

He used his movement technique to quickly head towards her.

"Let the little rock bear go, don't stop it."

That beast is very clever; it is preparing and waiting for its opportunity.

If we waste our energy and strength on these little beasts, the mission will surely fail!

Faced with Li Yuan's reminder, Xia Yao's team members didn't seem entirely convinced.

One of them stepped forward, seemingly wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, Xia Yao had already replied.

"Listen to him, if you see a little rock bear, avoid it and give way."

Those around Xia Yao looked at her with some surprise, quite puzzled.

"Captain, the camp is right behind us. It wouldn't be appropriate to let these little rock bears cross over there, would it?"

"Letting the Rock Bear Demon escape is even more inappropriate."

Xia Yao didn't explain further, but simply confirmed Li Yuan's judgment.

Having two special forces teams stationed here is the best-case scenario, as it would be able to contain the enemy.

They also wanted to kill the other little rock bears along the way? No way.

Before any further questions could arise, three more rock bear cubs rushed out.

Xia Yao, as the team leader, had a lot of authority; once she spoke, the others around her did indeed listen.

They all gave way, letting the little rock bear escape.

Luo Jinfan and his group were still fighting with the two little rock bears.

Even a B-level ferocious beast is not something they can kill with a single blow.

The two little rock bears held them back, and there was even a possibility that they would be seriously injured.

Hesitantly, the Rock Bear Demon appeared.

Both special forces teams saw it.

It is much bigger than expected.

His body was covered in blood, and his facial expression was ferocious and terrifying.

This was the first time Luo Jinfan and the others had ever seen a real Rock Bear Demon.

Compared to pictures and videos, the shock before their eyes made their bodies sluggish.
