Wen Wen smiled, looking at the table full of spiritual materials and super-powered weapons. Even after the blue monster had taken most of them, what remained was still a considerable haul for him.
But just as Wen Wen reached for the items, a strange lightning bolt struck.
The lightning was incredibly fast, so fast that even Wen Wen couldn't dodge it. It hit his hand directly, and the current surged through his body, causing his protective hairs to stand on end.
That's right, the philosophical state had protective hairs, growing on the chest in a thick, V-shaped pattern.
However, this lightning wasn't powerful. More like a warning than an attack.
So, aside from a slight itch from his raised protective hairs, Wen Wen felt no other discomfort.
He turned to look in the direction the lightning had come from and saw a young man with yellow hair standing there.
Wen Wen recognized this young man; he was a demon hunter, the one who had crushed Wen Wen's mouse.
Electricity flickered around the youth's hands as he stared intently at Wen Wen. "I am Yang Sheng from the Hunter Association's First Special Operations Team. You have thirty seconds to state your origin, or I will treat you as an enemy."
Yang Sheng had actually infiltrated the area earlier. If Wen Wen could take advantage of the weakened state after the Desecration of Blood to raid, the Hunter Association wouldn't miss such an opportunity either.
He had seen Wen Wen drive away the blue-skinned monster, and he had also seen Wen Wen kill those small green monsters, dragging one into the containment facility with chains.
Therefore, Yang Sheng could confirm that Wen Wen was an enemy of the Desecration of Blood. But the enemy of an enemy wasn't necessarily a friend, so he couldn't just stand by and watch Wen Wen take those items.
Wen Wen glanced at Yang Sheng, his lips drooping into a pout.
"Who am I,呵呵."
This made Yang Sheng feel bewildered. The expression didn't seem like hostility, but rather as if Yang Sheng owed Wen Wen money.
"Do we... know each other?" Yang Sheng tentatively asked, his voice slightly stiff.
Wen Wen tossed his head haughtily, "Heh, you know what you did."
Already wearing such clothes and growing protective hairs, Wen Wen decided to let loose in this state. He was capable of anything.
"So what the heck did I do?!"
Yang Sheng was getting frustrated. Wen Wen was acting too well, making Yang Sheng feel like a scoundrel, and yet his appearance...
However, Yang Sheng wasn't stupid. If Wen Wen couldn't provide specific information, he would still be treated as an enemy.
Seeing that Yang Sheng's emotions had been stirred, Wen Wen's eyes darted around. He subtly tapped his fingers, then his face turned frosty as he angrily rebuked Yang Sheng, "You actually forgot me! Hmph! Men are all fickle lovers!"
This time, Wen Wen's voice was that of a coy young girl.
Yang Sheng looked thoughtful. He had indeed heard this voice before. Could it be a woman he knew who had transformed into this appearance?
After all, before joining the Hunter Association, Yang Sheng had been quite the ladies' man. He really couldn't remember how many women he had entangled with in the past.
Seeing his expression, Wen Wen knew he had taken the bait. He then immediately put on a shy demeanor and said, "Brother Yang, do you remember Xia Yuhe from Daming Lake?"
"Xia Yuhe... that seems to be related to me..." Sudan Novel Network
Yang Sheng was young, and Wen Wen's ruse actually made him consider this possibility.
So, while Yang Sheng was momentarily stunned, Wen Wen snapped his fingers twice. He took a deep breath, then exhaled it forcefully, activating the Flame Manipulation ability of the Arsonist Ghost.
Blazing flames formed a barrier, surrounding Yang Sheng. Wen Wen then casually grabbed a few items from the table and prepared to escape.
But after only a few steps, a thick bolt of lightning shot out from the flames, aimed at Wen Wen!
"Villain, stop right there!"
Even though Yang Sheng had been fooled by Wen Wen, he still possessed the basic qualities of a demon hunter. He had never let his guard down against Wen Wen.
But Wen Wen had already anticipated this move. He directly used his right hand to block the lightning, and the Disaster Gauntlet completely absorbed the electrical energy, causing Wen Wen no harm.
"Brother Yang, don't forget me next time."
After shouting a mocking remark, Wen Wen bolted at high speed, disappearing from Yang Sheng's sight in an instant.
Yang Sheng's expression was uncertain. After hesitating for a while, he ultimately did not pursue.
Wen Wen had effortlessly absorbed his lightning just now, so he suspected that what he saw earlier wasn't Wen Wen's full strength. This made him feel uneasy.
However, Yang Sheng now believed he had figured out Wen Wen's identity: a third party separate from the Hunter Association and the Desecration of Blood. He would have to report this to his superiors after leaving.
Of course, the biggest reason he didn't pursue was... he felt like he had truly heard that voice somewhere before...
Well, he had certainly heard that voice. Wen Wen had chosen the voice of a female actress who frequently appeared on television but had low recognition. This naturally made her sound familiar, yet he couldn't recall her immediately.
Seeing that Yang Sheng wasn't pursuing, Wen Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he wasn't afraid of Yang Sheng, being chased by him would have been troublesome.
However, Wen Wen soon smirked. From this day forward, Yang Sheng's mind would likely be haunted by the image of a hairy man with a girlish voice calling him "Brother Yang."
After all, the voice-mimicking ability of the Gou Yan Tree Sprite also came with a convincing extra attribute!
In fact, Wen Wen's deception of Yang Sheng earlier was purely to annoy him. Otherwise, he could have simply escaped.
But since this fellow had crushed his mouse, Wen Wen would definitely seek an opportunity to prank him.
Detective Wen was just that kind of person who held grudges.
Following the path he had taken to get here, Wen Wen didn't switch back to his ghost form. Instead, he used his powerful physique to dig a tunnel and crawl to the surface.
As soon as his head emerged, he saw a shocking sight.
On the ground lay an incredibly massive monster. Even lying down, it was dozens of meters tall, and if it stood up completely, its height would likely approach a hundred meters!
The tentacles and pincers that had extended earlier were merely organs on its head and shoulders. Its true body had been underground all along!
Its body was covered in countless twisted, asymmetrical limbs, much like the giant monsters often seen in tokusatsu films, creating a visually stunning impact.
Yet, this colossal monster, even after emerging completely from the earth, was no match for the Hunter Association.
Now it lay on the ground, its body covered in wounds inflicted by super-powered energy. The most fatal wound was a貫穿 wound in its chest, about a dozen meters in diameter. The wound showed no blood, as it had all been scorched by powerful energy.
Judging by the scale of that wound, it was not much less than the Cataclysm-level power Wen Wen had used through his puppet mouse.
"Is this the strength of the Assimilation Realm True Sequence..."
Wen Wen looked up at the sky, where the Corrupted Blood Eater and another Hunter Association powerhouse were clashing fiercely. He felt a great sense of longing.
"Thirty years east, thirty years west... no, I'm not a youth anymore... 'He can be replaced,' yes..."
"Never mind, these flowery words don't suit me. I'm out, I'm out."
