At this moment, Qin Yuan seriously suspected that Captain Pan Shi's words were said on purpose, just to make him admit his strength so that he could hunt monsters for the team and make a lot of money!
No wonder this guy can be the captain. It turns out he's not just good at it, he's also incredibly cunning!
As the last rays of sunlight dipped below the horizon, Qin Yuan assumed the "Five Hearts Facing the Sky" posture and began another night of cultivation.
Nothing was said that night, and time passed as the Rock Squad took turns keeping watch.
The third day, early morning.
After two days of adjustment, Qin Yuan has been able to integrate well into the Rock Squad combat team.
With one intermediate-level general and three junior-level generals, the four worked together like a precise machine, rapidly advancing towards the center of the abandoned county town No. 138.
The monsters they encountered along the way, such as the Iron-haired Wild Boar, all turned into materials for their harvest.
"Our next target is the CBD commercial building located in the central area of County Town No. 138."
"There are towering buildings and underground passages everywhere there, so there should be quite a few monsters of the Beast General level."
At a temporary rest stop, Captain Pan Shi pointed to a dense cluster of buildings on the electronic map and announced the plan.
Just as Rock finished speaking, Firefox added through the earpiece:
"Based on previous data and the reconnaissance over the past two days, there are obvious signs of Beast General-level monster activity in that area, so we need to pay extra attention."
"Don't worry, with our current strength and configuration, we don't need to worry about ordinary Beast General-level monsters at all. As long as we avoid monsters of intermediate Beast General level and above, there is no place in County 138 that our Rock Squad cannot go."
Tank, standing in the ranks, patted his chest confidently.
He originally thought that Qin Yuan, the newcomer in the team, was the weakest, and that the tanks were still wary of areas where Beast Generals were active. But Qin Yuan might be stronger than him.
Since that's the case, what's there to hesitate about? Let's just do it!
Are there many Beast General-level monsters in the central area of County 138? But the Rock Squad is weak?
After the three elders of the Rock Squad expressed their opinions, Qin Yuan did not offer any.
Sometimes, silence is the best form of agreement.
The group of four set off again, heading straight for the center of the abandoned county town at No. 138.
The closer Qin Yuan got to the center of the county town, the less damaged the buildings became, but the surrounding area exuded an omnipresent sense of decay and desolation, which felt very strange.
A martial artist's intuition can be terrifying at times, which means it's not a normal phenomenon.
Qin Yuan kept a close eye on the feedback from the talent attribute [Beast Intuition (White)].
Unlike the more precise sense of crisis he felt a few days ago, upon entering this area, Qin Yuan felt something pricking his senses from all directions, yet he couldn't detect anything unusual with his naked eye.
This was eerie. It seemed as if an invisible net was shrouding this once-prosperous commercial center, giving Qin Yuan a sense of unease.
The further Qin Yuan went, the worse he felt; it was a feeling that was indescribable.
After traveling for a mile, Qin Yuan saw the CBD Shimao Tower that Captain Pan Shi had mentioned. Although the tower had weathered decades of wind and rain, it still stood tall on the ground.
"The CBD building offers an excellent view, overlooking the entire area. Clearing out this building would be more beneficial for our subsequent operations."
"Firefox, you conduct the initial reconnaissance first, then come in with us and look for a sniping position."
Inside a small, unassuming restaurant, Captain Pan Shi gazed at the towering CBD buildings and made plans within the team.
In the distance, Firefox extended his sniper rifle from his makeshift cover and used the high-powered scope on the rifle to make an initial observation of the situation inside the CBD building.
She scanned the entrances and windows of each floor through the scope, but found no monsters. As a precaution, Firefox then used an infrared energy detector to scan the entire CBD building, inside and out, and even dozens of meters underground, before reporting back to the team.
"It's strange, there wasn't a strong sign of life inside. But I could clearly see traces of monsters outside the wall through the scope."
"Isn't this great? It saves us a lot of trouble cleaning the inside of the CBD building."
Tank grinned upon hearing this.
"Don't let your guard down. Normally, a CBD building wouldn't be this quiet."
Regarding the internal disagreements within the team, captain Pan Shi appeared mature and composed.
"Is it possible that there are monsters inside, like the Phantom Ocelot, which are good at hiding?"
The message coming through the headset was Firefox's thoughts. She had been ambushed by Phantom Ocelot before, so she was very wary of it.
"That possibility cannot be ruled out, Qin Yuan, what do you think?"
Faced with this illogical situation, Pan Shi turned his gaze to Qin Yuan.
Over the past few days, Qin Yuan's sense of crisis has brought considerable convenience to the Rock Squad, reducing many unnecessary battles and risks.
When Captain Pan Shi singled him out for a question, Qin Yuan knew that his next words would likely influence Captain Pan Shi's decision.
Therefore, we cannot be careless.
Qin Yuan's expression turned solemn as he focused all his attention on the talent attribute "[Beast Perception (White)]", hoping to get clear feedback from it.
However, just as Qin Yuan focused all his attention on [Beast Intuition (White)], a very obvious sense of malice came from the direction of the CBD building.
The sensation was like being stimulated in the temple with a ten-centimeter-long steel needle—extremely intense.
At the same time, the crisis brought about by malice is ten times that of the Phantom Leopard Cat beast general that Qin Yuan killed before, no, even more.
The intense sense of crisis filled Qin Yuan's senses, causing his breathing to pause briefly.
This is [Beast Intuition (White)] issuing a warning to the maximum extent possible!
There must be a terrifying monster in the CBD, a top-tier monster that far surpasses even the low-level beast general, the Phantom Leopard Cat!
"can not go!"
Turning his attention back to the outside world, Qin Yuan spoke in a deep voice, each word carrying an unprecedented resolve.
"What's wrong, Qin Yuan? Did you discover something?"
Captain Pan Shi looked anxious.
Qin Yuan's sense of crisis was so renowned that it was even known to Zhuge Tao, one of the giants of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy. Pan Shi had no choice but to take his words seriously.
"Captain, trust me. There's definitely a powerful old monster lurking in the CBD. The fact that Sister Firefox couldn't find it must be because this guy did it on purpose, trying to lure us in."
Qin Yuan explained his reasoning.
"A powerful old monster? With your limited judgment, you can't make that judgment?"
"It is at least a high-level beast general, or even stronger."
Qin Yuan offered a fair conclusion.
"A high-level beast general?"
Upon hearing this, Captain Pan Shi paused in his speech.
Beside the captain was Tank, carrying a machete and exuding an indomitable aura. However, after receiving the news of the 'Advanced Beast General' from Qin Yuan, he stopped grinning and refused to mention heading to the CBD building.

"withdraw."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Captain Pan Shi decisively gave the order.
"Better safe than sorry," he believed in Qin Yuan's sense of crisis and also believed that the abnormalities in the CBD must be problematic.
As a seasoned wilderness hunter, Rock has never lacked courage.
"Abandon entering the CBD building, change direction, we'll take a detour. Qin Yuan, keep your senses on, and report immediately if anything unusual happens."
"Firefox, you retreat too. Be careful. According to Qin Yuan, if there really is a high-level beast general hiding in the CBD, it is very likely that once we retreat, we will change our target to you."
"receive."
Qin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief at Pan Shi's decision. Successfully persuading Captain Pan Shi was tantamount to averting a catastrophic disaster.
[Beast Intuition (White)] The reaction is too strong!
A high-level beast general is absolutely the overlord of the entire 138 abandoned county town.
With his current strength, even if he used the first move of the [World Destroyer] spear technique, 'Meteor Strike', doubling his power attack, he still couldn't reach that level.
Besides, to clash your strongest attack with a high-level beast general's normal attack is just plain stupid.
'Meteor Strike' can only amplify Qin Yuan's physical attack power. In terms of physical speed and nerve reaction, he is still far from being a high-level warrior!
The squad began to gradually withdraw, maintaining a defensive formation while always facing the CBD building.
It wasn't until they retreated a mile that the sense of crisis reflected by Qin Yuan's talent attribute [Beast Intuition (White)] began to weaken, eventually fading away until they completely disappeared after crossing a certain boundary.
"The crisis has subsided...it's gone!"
During the retreat, Qin Yuan constantly reported his sense of crisis.
"With such a vast territory, could it be a Lord-level monster?"
Tank was still shaken; they had almost stepped into the gates of hell just now.
The lord-level monster he mentioned is equivalent to a war god-level monster on the human side.
Captain Pan Shi didn't speak, but the lingering fear in his eyes was unmistakable. He walked up to Qin Yuan, patted Qin Yuan's shoulder, and didn't say anything to express his gratitude.
These are all superfluous; everything is understood without words.
"Firefox, have you withdrawn?"
After patting Qin Yuan on the shoulder, Pan Shi called out to the team.
A hissing sound came through the headset, but no one answered immediately.
Everyone's heart tightened. Had something happened?
Two seconds later.
Only when a familiar female voice rang out did their expressions soften.
"Captain, I've withdrawn."
[Notification: The host has successfully avoided a fatal crisis and changed the outcome of the Rock Squad's annihilation in the CBD building of County 138. Received 5 Source Points. Current Source Points: 36.]
Sure enough, there was a territorial and extremely powerful creature entrenched in the CBD!
The hints from the [Talent Affix System] prove this point.
Moreover, without Qin Yuan, the Rock Squad would undoubtedly have perished in the beasts' jaws this time. It was because of him that the Rock Squad's fate was changed, and they gained 5 Source Points.
