The memories after that were somewhat chaotic, as a single bird's claw had plunged the five puppets into disarray.
In the final moments of their memories, only one thing remained: wind!
Endless, raging wind!
Not long after Wu Wang's anomaly began to manifest, Wen Wen's expression also changed. He felt a fierce and violent aura erupting from the underground parking lot.
The hunters who had infiltrated the parking lot were all sent flying out in disarray. The entire underground parking lot was engulfed in rampant gales, making it impossible for them to even get close.
Then, a tornado destroyed the parking lot!
A blue tornado flipped the entire underground parking lot upside down. Within the fierce wind, a powerful creature, half-human and half-bird with two pairs of blue wings, could be faintly seen!
The creature's power level was comparable to the Corrupted Bloods that Wen Wen had encountered before.
A disaster, a True Sequence!
Wu Wang had actually summoned a True Sequence monster from the Inner World? How did he manage that!
The creature gently turned its head, its gaze falling upon Wu Wang, projecting a palpable killing intent.
Ordinary monsters would target the puppets, but this creature had acutely sensed that Wu Wang was the one controlling them from behind.
Wu Wang was far more shocked than Wen Wen. He had never imagined that he would actually summon such a powerful entity. This was even better than his best-case scenario, but... it was too good!
This gave Wu Wang a new understanding of the word "random."
He had contingency plans for dealing with Upper Sequence monsters, but a True Sequence... True Sequence monsters couldn't be dealt with by mere plans!
All of Wu Wang's plans were utterly ruined by this suddenly appearing monster. Eliminating the monsters of Ao Ye Water City had become a secondary objective. The most crucial task now was to escape the pursuit of this True Sequence monster!
If he didn't want to die now, his only remaining option was to rush into the battlefield between the Hunter Association and Ao Ye Water City, hoping that the Upper Sequence powerhouses engaged in the chaotic battle could distract this blue monster.
Otherwise, he would surely perish!
Thus, Wu Wang unhesitatingly terminated his "game" with Wen Wen. After violating the rules of the game, his face grew even paler.
Then, he erupted with incredible speed, flying towards the center of the supermarket.
His speed was so great that it could temporarily outpace Upper Sequence monsters, but the monster in the wind was not of Upper Sequence strength, and it was a speed-type!
The half-bird monster let out a sharp cry, and a vortex of wind appeared, pushing everything around it away, inflicting new wounds on the already heavily injured hunters.
Then, with a powerful flap of its four wings, this half-human, half-bird creature, cloaked in a gust of wind, chased after Wu Wang. Wherever it flew, the wind left a trail of destruction.
It was like a moving natural disaster!
...
In the deepest part of the sewer system of Hua Shan City, a grotesque creature opened its eyes.
"Shark Warrior's aura has vanished, and Salubor seems to be severely injured... These two useless fools couldn't even capture a small fry properly."
This monster had sickly green skin, and its face resembled an aged merman elder.
However, behind it were a pair of appendages that looked like wings or fins, and its lower body was a combination of an octopus and a lobster tail.
The entire creature looked like a stitched-together entity, but it was the strongest among all those who had come to hunt Wu Wang: the True Sequence Disaster, the Pious Mutterer!
It slowly stood up and leaped towards the surface.
The sewers were tens of meters underground, but the dirt and rocks were as if nonexistent to the Pious Mutterer. It directly broke through the earth and emerged onto the surface.
Then, it leisurely proceeded towards Wu Wang's actual location, not moving quickly, but with a clear objective.
The Pious Mutterer could directly lock onto Wu Wang's true position through the Ancient God Ensuk. No matter how much he tried to hide, he couldn't escape the Pious Mutterer's grasp!
...
Salubor bore over a dozen small wounds, all inflicted by sneak attacks from the Hidden Sting.
His two opponents, Hidden Sting and Metal Tide, were individually no match for him. However, together, they presented a considerable challenge.
Due to Metal Tide's engagement, Salubor was unable to focus on Hidden Sting's position, and the frequent sneak attacks from Hidden Sting prevented him from concentrating his firepower on Metal Tide.
With the skillful coordination of the two, the powerful Salubor also accumulated numerous injuries. However, it would not be easy for them to kill Salubor.
At that moment, the three individuals engaged in combat simultaneously stopped and looked eastward.
A figure in a tattered purple shirt was flying rapidly towards them, spitting blood as he flew, before collapsing amidst them, utterly battered.
This person was, of course, Wu Wang. He had used all his means to escape that monster and reach this point.
Salubor's eyes lit up, and his thick fish mouth pursed. It was truly a case of finding something you weren't even looking for; this guy had delivered himself right to their doorstep.
Although he couldn't defeat these two hunters, he could still escape with Wu Wang while enduring their pressure.
However, before that, they had to deal with other troubles...
What had caused the three to cease their combat was not Wu Wang, but what was behind him.
The monster, accompanied by the wind, stopped before the three, hovering high in the air. A blue vortex swirled around it, giving it an extraordinary presence.
It was then that Wu Wang could finally clearly see its true form. The creature's torso was that of a slender woman, about three meters tall, with slightly bluish skin. The sensitive areas were covered in blue feathers.
Its hands and feet were shaped like bird claws, and it had two pairs of blue wings on its back. In its right hand, it held a spear more than ten feet long.
With a swing of its spear, it pointed at Salubor and the other two, its eyes sharp as it declared, "I am the Inner Winged Attendant of the Temple of Gales. Make way... or die!"
Hidden Sting and Metal Tide immediately retreated a few steps. Salubor hesitated for a moment before also choosing to retreat.
The only one capable of dealing with this suddenly appearing entity was the Pious Mutterer. If he were to try and snatch Wu Wang from the presence of this Winged Attendant, he would surely die!
Watching the three retreat, Wu Wang sighed. His last hope was for these three Upper Sequence powerhouses to clash with that True Sequence monster, allowing him to escape in the ensuing chaos.
It seemed he had underestimated the deterrent power of a True Sequence powerhouse; those three did not dare to make a move.
So, he suddenly burst into manic laughter, his laughter wild and deranged: "My plan was flawless, I was just unlucky to summon such a feathered beast... Yes, I haven't lost, it's just bad luck..."
After saying this, he closed his eyes, awaiting the end of his life.
