Chapter One: Ling Feng

  Yunnan border, ten layers of mountains.

  Ten-layer Great Mountain, as the name suggests, is formed by ten layers of overlapping peaks. These ten mountains are one mountain higher than the other, and one gorge more dangerous than the other. The mountains are connected to each other, and the peaks are connected to each other, extending all the way to the depths of the cloud sea. Its main peak has an elevation of 1885 meters, and the famous boundary marker of China, Vietnam, and Laos is located here.

  The Wild Boar Ridge is located on the west side of the main peak. The area is densely forested, with vines and creepers entwined, covering the entire mountain, blocking out the sky and sunlight. Leopards and wolves often roam here. Among them, wild boars are the most common, usually in groups of three to five, roaming together in the dense forest. Adult wild boars have thick skin and powerful physiques, even leopards and wolves will yield to them, not daring to be their enemy!

  Inside the ten-layered Great Mountain, not only are there wild beasts roaming about, but also venomous insects and snakes of all kinds. Generally speaking, if one enters this mountain without thorough preparation and rashly ventures deep into it, even if they don't lose their life to leopards or wolves, they may still be bitten to death by the hidden poisonous insects and snakes in the dark corners of the forest. Therefore, this place can be considered a desolate and treacherous land!

  This border area, except for a small number of border guards stationed here, is rarely visited by people. As soon as you cross the Wild Boar Ridge, it belongs to another country's territory, and the geographical environment is special, so even fewer people enter or leave.

  Arriving in this dark forest, listening carefully, the tall tree crowns above, unknown birds standing on the branches chirping and calling, and from time to time, a beast's roar echoes from the depths of the dense forest, responding to each other, making this primitive forest full of mysterious and unpredictable atmosphere everywhere!

  "Whoosh! Whoosh!……"

  A strange noise came from the depths of the dense forest, and two figures darted through the underbrush like cheetahs, one in front of the other, only about five meters apart. The two people moved at an extremely fast pace, and due to the dense foliage blocking their view, it was impossible to see their faces clearly. It wasn't until they slowed down and stopped beside a redwood tree that the figures' appearances became visible.

  These two men looked extremely similar in appearance, they should be twin brothers, looking over thirty years old, tall and strong, with bulging muscles all over their bodies, making them look very fierce. What was most shocking was that each of them held an AK47 assault rifle in his hand, after stopping in their tracks, the two men stood back to back, the dark gun barrels following their icy gazes sweeping around, their movements seemed to be searching for someone.

  After a good while, the two of them searched around with their eyes for several rounds, and after not finding any suspicious targets, their vigilant faces relaxed slightly.

  "Brother, Ling Feng that dead guy knows we're experts in tracking, so he intentionally left two different directions of footprints, forcing us to split up and track separately. This damn traitor is really cunning!" The man on the left said as he squatted down, carefully examining the ground on both sides before standing up again. "All the tracks disappear here, and there's no sign of this traitor either. It seems we've fallen into his trap. This damn traitor has cost us so many brothers' lives, if I catch him with my Wolf Gang, I'll cut off his hands and feet and throw him into the Ants' Valley, let tens of thousands of ants suck him dry!"

  The man named Bao Lang gritted his teeth, with a ferocious expression. From his tone of voice, it can be heard that he hated someone named Ling Feng to the bone.

  "Lao Qi, we 'Thirteen Wolves' have been roaming the southwest for several provinces, but who would have thought that this time we'd fall into a trap set by Ling Feng, that deadbeat? Our brothers are either dead or captured, and of our thirteen leaders, only five remain. This blood feud must be avenged!" Another man with a ferocious expression walked under the red pine tree, scanning his surroundings before continuing: "However, Ling Feng is a formidable opponent, skilled in forest warfare, making him difficult to deal with."

  "If he didn't have some real skills, how would he have gained the trust of Big Brother and risen from a small fry to the position of Thirteenth Master in just two years?" The man named Violent Wolf said with a hint of self-mockery, "Who would have thought that our 'Thirteen Wolves' Wind Wolf was actually an undercover agent sent by the police? It's laughable!"

  "Beast Wolf, it's fine to say these things in front of me, but remember, never mention them in front of the boss. You should know his temper!" another man said in a low voice.

  The fierce wolf's eyes revealed a hint of fear after hearing this, and he hastily nodded his head.

  "Let's go, we'll hurry to meet up with the boss now!" The man instructed after a moment of contemplation. As the two turned around to head back in their original direction, a figure eerily appeared on the red pine tree behind the man. With his legs wrapped around the trunk, he silently slid down in a inverted hook-like manner.

  The man with the gun had just lifted his foot to take a step forward when he suddenly felt a chill on top of his head, and instinctively looked up. At that moment, a pair of large hands stretched out from behind him, swiftly grabbing his neck and twisting it until it snapped with a faint "crack" sound. The man's life was extinguished in an instant!

  Although it was only a slight sound, it had already startled the man named Bao Lang who was walking in front. He suddenly turned his head and happened to see his own big brother falling down with his head drooping and his body going limp.

  "Brother!" A loud and mournful cry, the violent wolf's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the figure still hanging from the tree in front of him. He raised his AK47, ready to fire a burst. Just as he had the thought of pulling the trigger, the figure in front of him waved its hand, and a white light flashed by. The violent wolf's throat was directly pierced by a military knife over a foot long. His eyes widened as he stared forward, making strange "gurgling" sounds from his throat, his gaze filled with unwillingness, slowly falling to the ground.

  Within a few seconds, such a clean and neat kill of two armed men can be seen that the person who shot is extraordinary, extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat and stabbing techniques.

  After the figure in front of him got his hands on it, his body flipped over in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground. Through the gaps in the dense forest leaves, a little light spilled down, allowing people to clearly see that the young man who had struck and killed two armed men was a young man with clear facial features and a resolute face!

  Ling Feng, 31 years old, is a member of the country's most mysterious special police force, "Qianlong Group". The predecessor of the "Qianlong Group" was the national anti-terrorism special operations team, which had repeatedly eliminated terrorist organizations from enemy countries and achieved great military merits. Due to the rising domestic crime rate in recent years, criminal organizations have become increasingly large-scale and organized, threatening national security and people's lives and property. In response, the national anti-terrorism special operations team was reorganized and established as a special police force code-named "Qianlong", with its main responsibilities being counter-terrorism, anti-gangsterism, and anti-drug trafficking.

  The "Diving Dragon Squad" has only 300 members, although the number is not large, each member is an elite selected from special forces units in various places. After entering the "Diving Dragon Squad", they will undergo a two-year hellish training, without strong willpower and psychological quality, it is impossible to pass the training and become a real Diving Dragon SWAT.

  Ling Feng is undoubtedly an elite among elites. He was an orphan, grew up in a welfare institution since childhood, joined the army at 18, was selected into the '潜龙组' (Hidden Dragon Unit) reserve team at 20, and became a formal member of the Hidden Dragon Special Police at 22 with outstanding training results. He has infiltrated multiple domestic and foreign underworld organizations as an undercover agent, completing each task exceptionally well and earning great merits!

  Two years ago, before Ling Feng was about to retire and take up a teaching position in a special forces unit, shocking news arrived: his brother, Zhao Dàyǒng, who had grown up with him since childhood and was also his best friend and comrade-in-arms, had died in the line of duty. When Ling Feng went to pay his last respects to Zhao Dàyǒng, he found that his brother's body was mutilated beyond recognition, with not a single wound unscathed, as if he had been subjected to a thousand cuts and endured immense suffering before finally succumbing to death.

  Ling Feng suppressed the sorrow and anger in his heart, found his old leader, and learned from him that Zhao Dàyǒng was ordered to go undercover in the country's largest drug trafficking organization "Thirteen Wolves" to steal powerful intelligence and take down all members of the drug trafficking ring!

  It's clear that Zhao Dàyǒng's mission has failed, his identity was discovered by the drug lord and he ended up dead!

  To avenge his good brother, Ling Feng gave up his position as a battalion instructor and applied to his superiors to complete Zhao Dajun's unfinished task. With his extraordinary intelligence, strong psychological quality, and agile physique, he successfully infiltrated the "Thirteen Wolves" organization and gained the appreciation of the leader, becoming one of the thirteen main members in just two years, nicknamed "Feng Lang"!

  After Ling Feng became a core member of the drug lord, he transmitted important intelligence and criminal evidence to the organization. Under his close cooperation, two days ago, the old nest of the "Thirteen Wolves" organization was surrounded by multi-departmental joint combat troops. After a fierce firefight, the drug dealers were either killed or captured. Seven of the 13 main culprits were shot dead on the spot by special police, and the remaining five people, along with Ling Feng, escaped together!

  Ling Feng followed the "Thirteen Wolves" leader, Da Lang, as they escaped into the depths of the ten-layered mountain. Along the way, he pondered how to capture the remaining five fugitive leaders and bring them to justice. Just then, Da Lang and the other four began to suspect Ling Feng, intending to take him down for questioning, but Ling Feng detected their intentions and suddenly disappeared into the dense forest!

  The Wolf King and the other four people have confirmed that Ling Feng is the traitor at this moment. The "Thirteen Wolves" organization has collapsed, and the foundation of many years was destroyed in an instant. How can the Wolf King and others bear to let Ling Feng go like this? Similarly, Ling Feng will not let the Wolf King and others go either. He must avenge his dead good brother. And so, a fierce battle for life and death in the forest is about to unfold!

  The "Thirteen Wolves" organization was able to roam freely across several provinces in the southwest, controlling more than 70% of the country's drug trade. The thirteen leaders were clearly not ordinary people, each with their own expertise: some excelled at hand-to-hand combat, others were skilled in firearms and explosives, and some were even international fugitives wanted by Interpol. Although Ling Feng was extremely skilled, he didn't have the confidence to take on five enemies alone. So while escaping, he deliberately laid a false trail, leaving behind signs of his passage in different directions, forcing the five leaders to split up and pursue him separately, and then picking them off one by one!

  In his current situation, it's either the enemy dies or I perish. When dealing with these heinous villains, Ling Feng will show no mercy and strike a deadly blow without any hesitation!

  "Great courage, my good brother, there are still three left..." Ling Feng muttered to himself, a hint of melancholy on his resolute face. Half a moment later, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he gazed at the two cold corpses on the ground, and walked up to the body of the man called Bao Lang, reaching out to pull out the military knife stuck in his throat.

  After a moment of contemplation, Ling Feng picked up the AK47 on the ground, pointed the muzzle at the sky, and pulled the trigger violently. Suddenly, a burst of crisp gunfire rang out, startling the birds in the surrounding woods to frantically flap their wings and fly away in disarray, causing a huge commotion!

  Then, a cold smile floated at the corner of Ling Feng's mouth. Without any further delay, he turned around and sprinted towards the dense forest ahead.
