The monsters under his command were busy, and Wen Wen naturally wasn't idle. He continued to clear out monsters as before, while also searching for the叛变的游猎者.
However, Wen Wen's luck seemed to be poor at the moment. He searched for a while without encountering any disaster-level monsters, and disaster-level wild monsters rarely possessed special abilities.
As a result, after wandering for a long time, Wen Wen had only captured two monsters: a round-faced fat chicken and a green snake.
The round-faced fat chicken was the one Wen Wen had encountered last time. In the past half-year, it might have had some fortuitous encounter, transforming into a long-legged, long-footed, and simple-minded combat chicken.
It was of disaster-level strength, with powerful close-combat abilities. Its mastery of pure unarmed combat was a hundred thousand miles ahead of Wen Wen's, making it a somewhat useful monster. Su Dan Novel Network
As for the green snake, Wen Wen simply found it good-looking.
Moreover, based on Wen Wen's observation, this was a female snake, so he planned to give it to San Zai as a mate. San Zai would probably be happy about that.
Don't ask how he observed this; just assume he poked it with a small stick.
However, beyond this, Wen Wen gained nothing. The efficiency of the游猎者s and the Special Operations Team was too high, and the monsters with blue lights were too conspicuous. After being cleared by the游猎者s, the area was basically a river of blood, making it difficult for Wen Wen to find suitable opponents.
He flew high into the sky, looking down at the surrounding situation. Suddenly, Wen Wen noticed what appeared to be the light of a signal flare in the distance. Perhaps it was a distress signal.
"If they can make the游猎者s call for help, it must be a big fish. I hope it's one of those rebellious游猎者s with disaster-level power."
With no monsters to catch, Wen Wen flew towards the location without hesitation.
...
Gu Panxi's hair was soaked with sweat as she glared at the man opposite her.
She had initially planned to capture a wanted rebellious游猎者 and claim the bounty. However, she hadn't expected these rebellious游猎者s to be so strong!
The moment they met, the opponent used a strange attack to destroy the jade sword used to summon Xun Ying, making it difficult for her to even call for help.
She had already fired a signal flare while the opponent was distracted, but in this vast mountain range, one signal flare might not be enough to attract aid.
Moreover, even if help arrived, could they truly defeat this guy?
"You're only in the Assimilation Intermediate stage, why are you so strong!"
Gu Panxi asked, panting heavily. She had used most of her strength to unleash her ultimate move against this man, but it had only slightly singed his clothes.
Opposite Gu Panxi stood a bald man with white pupils. He held a游猎者 by the neck and sneered at Gu Panxi, saying,
"Heh, why... why so many whys? I have better talent than you, trained more than you, put in more effort than you, so I'm stronger than you!"
This man's codename was Cang Yan!
Gu Panxi was speechless. She had only advanced to the Intermediate stage a few months ago. While her strength was considered low among the Intermediate stage, the gap between her and the man in front of her was ridiculously large.
Cang Yan chuckled sinisterly, "You're unlucky to have met me. I'm not like others who hide in holes like rats, trembling!"
"Since I paid the price of being listed as a rebel by the Association to gain this power, I naturally have to enjoy it. Do you think you are hunting me?"
"No, I am hunting you!"
As he finished speaking, Cang Yan formed his other hand into a blade and directly pierced the chest of the游猎者 in front of him, then casually tossed the corpse aside.
Gu Panxi gritted her teeth, looking at the corpse, her eyes seeming to spew fire.
Cang Yan licked the blood on his fingers and said, "This is the third one, and you're the fourth... You're beautiful, so I'll make your death beautiful too. How about I just strangle you to death!"
"How did someone like you become a游猎者?" Gu Panxi couldn't help but reprimand him.
To become a游猎者, one had to undergo a psychological evaluation. Only mentally sound individuals were qualified to be游猎者s. Yet, looking at Cang Yan, he was clearly a complete psychopath!
Cang Yan shook his head, "Don't look at me like that, as if I'm some heinous villain. I've saved many people. What's wrong with killing a few people occasionally?"
"Twisted logic!"
Cang Yan snorted, "What twisted logic or right logic? Strength is the only logic. I'm stronger than you, so my logic is correct!"
Then, he looked at Gu Panxi with a strange expression, as if contemplating where to start.
Seeing his gaze, Gu Panxi's expression changed, and she hurriedly lunged to the side. The next moment, the place where she had been was covered by a bone-like pallor!
This pallor did not emit light, much like white oil paint splashed onto a painting. After the white gradually disappeared, the area that had been enveloped by the pallor lost its luster and turned into flying dust with a gust of wind.
This was Cang Yan's ability. He could erase whatever he saw with his eyes. It was with this ability that he had destroyed the jade sword capable of summoning Xun Ying before Gu Panxi could react.
"Your reaction is quite fast, but it's futile."
Cang Yan snorted and quickly charged towards Gu Panxi. Apart from his eyes, he was also a master of ancient martial arts!
His strength was a complete碾压 over Gu Panxi, both in speed and power. In front of him, Gu Panxi was merely a target to be beaten.
Seeing the formidable enemy approaching, Gu Panxi took a step forward, and her body was instantly covered by crystals emitting white light, with two pairs of white wings unfolding behind her.
This was her assimilated state, the Sacred Crystal Angel. After advancing to the Intermediate stage, her wings had become two pairs.
Cang Yan stopped in front of Gu Panxi, then lunged forward with a bow-like stance, punching towards her chest. Gu Panxi quickly raised her crystal shield to block his fist.
But a hint of pallor suddenly appeared on the crystal shield. The point where Cang Yan's fist landed was weakened, and then the fist directly pierced the Sacred Crystal shield, sending Gu Panxi flying. She crashed into several large trees before stopping.
Then, Cang Yan pursued his advantage, launching a barrage of punches and kicks at the fallen Gu Panxi:
"Ora ora ora!"
After a flurry of blows, two of Gu Panxi's back wings were broken. She leaned against a tree, barely able to stand and face Cang Yan.
Cang Yan sneered as he examined Gu Panxi, then shook his head and said, "I wanted to make your death more beautiful earlier, but it seems I can't do that now."
"Then, die!"
Gu Panxi closed her eyes, awaiting the arrival of death.
She wasn't particularly afraid of death.
She just hadn't expected to die not in battle with monsters, but at the hands of a traitor to the Hunter Association.
However, the attack that was supposed to end her life never came.
Confused, she opened her eyes and saw a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar man standing in front of her.
"Yo, Miss Gu, long time no see."
