Wen Wen held the guy by his collar, tied him to the bumper of the truck with a rope, then went to the back of the truck and opened the door.
He could sense someone was held captive in the carriage, and from their aura, they seemed to be pure victims.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw two women imprisoned in the carriage, one already unconscious, and the other huddled in a corner, silent, her body trembling unnaturally.
Seeing that both were unharmed, Wen Wen breathed a sigh of relief, then said in a relaxed tone, "It's okay now, you're safe, I'm here to save... What the hell!"
The woman huddled in the corner suddenly looked up, her gaze manic as she looked at Wen Wen.
Wen Wen retracted the comforting words he was about to say. He saw that this woman, like the old driver before her, had bulging muscles and protruding veins, her mouth opening wider and wider.
Her lips were split on both sides, extending all the way to her earlobes. Her gaping maw was filled with countless sharp teeth, and if bitten on the head, they would likely split open like a watermelon.
After staring at the woman for a moment, Wen Wen suddenly said, "I have personal experience. Such a large mouth is very inconvenient. In fact, a normal person's mouth is only that small, and there's a scientific reason for it."
"With you leaking air from both sides like this, although it looks scary, you can't chew food normally, and drinking soup is also difficult. Most importantly, to open your mouth this wide, you've damaged the muscles in your cheeks, and there's insufficient biting force..."
Before Wen Wen could finish speaking, the woman agilely lunged at him. However, she was intercepted as soon as she leaped into the air. San Zai'er's body suddenly expanded into a giant python, binding the woman tightly, rendering her immobile.
The woman's huge mouth struggled to bite San Zai'er, but it couldn't reach.
"Strange, why do you also have Wu Wang's aura? I thought the driver was just an ordinary person when I dealt with him earlier..."
The appearance of two mutated individuals with Wu Wang's aura made Wen Wen feel a growing unease. Something big might be happening in this city.
As Wen Wen pondered, the woman's enormous mouth remained prominently present. So, Wen Wen decided to find something to stuff it. He retrieved the wrench he had used to smash the man earlier, shaping it into a metal ball. He thought this would work to block the woman's mouth.
But as he walked back with the metal ball, he saw San Zai'er open its massive mouth, bite down on the woman's crown, and swallow something.
The woman had ceased to breathe, and the metal gag seemed no longer necessary.
"I only asked you to help me keep an eye on this woman, and you dare to eat people when I'm not looking? Just wait until I deal with you back home."
Wen Wen hadn't expected that San Zai'er, who had always been very obedient, would have such wildness. It seemed he needed to find some stranger food than foot skin to feed it.
San Zai'er shook its snake body aggrievedly, as if to say it had nothing to do with the matter. Wen Wen glared at it fiercely, this fellow was addicted to dark cuisine.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with San Zai'er, Wen Wen suddenly froze. Not only the woman, but the man's aura had also vanished. He was dead too!
Wen Wen knew exactly how much force he had used on the man; at most, it had only knocked him unconscious. And San Zai'er couldn't possibly have gone out to kill anyone, so how did he die?
Wen Wen first went to the woman to examine her. Upon seeing her head, he immediately understood.
On the woman's crown, there was a hole with a diameter of about three centimeters. The skin near her spine at the back was also tattered.
It was as if a centipede-like creature had been lurking in her spine and brain, controlling her movements!
After she was captured, it had crawled out of her body!
Wen Wen inspected the man outside. His symptoms were exactly the same as the woman's. This meant that the problem wasn't with these two people, but with the things that were parasitizing them.
The thing that had parasitized the woman should have been eaten by San Zai'er, but the worm on the man had likely escaped, and it would be difficult to find it again.
At this moment, Wen Wen suddenly turned his head towards the direction of Huashan City. Then, a loud explosion echoed.
A huge gas station within his line of sight suddenly exploded, flames and thick smoke engulfing everything around it. A worker at the processing station laughed maniacally amidst the flames until the fire consumed him.
There were several other major disturbances similar to the gas station, and the entire city instantly descended into chaos.
Wen Wen stood outside the city, his eyes wide, and muttered, "What happened to this city? This is going to be difficult to handle now..."
Almost simultaneously with Wen Wen's exclamation, mission information came through the hunter terminal. This was a mandatory order for all hunters near Huashan City!
At all costs, hunt down the 'Game Maniac' and eliminate all unregistered monsters in Huashan City!
Wen Wen straightened his clothes, beckoned to San Zai'er, and ascended directly into the sky, flying towards Huashan City.
Such mandatory orders were usually issued only when the situation had deteriorated to a certain extent, and every demon hunter had an obligation to cooperate.
Because once such an order was issued, it meant that something major had happened!
...
Three days ago, in the center of Huashan City.
On the edge of the rooftop of a building stood a fair-skinned man in a purple shirt. The cold wind ruffled his hair, making the smile on his face appear even more frenzied.
He was Wu Wang.
"Tell me, why are you chasing me? I just like to play games, and everything else has nothing to do with me. But now you won't let me play games, so I'm going to flip the table."
"En... Ensook the ancient god's will cannot be defied. You will eventually be sent to His kingdom. Stop struggling. This is destiny!" A weak voice came from behind Wu Wang, making his expression even more ferocious.
Wu Wang turned around and roared at the owner of the voice, "Destiny? To hell with destiny!"
"Fate is merely an excuse for the incompetent to justify their own powerlessness. There is no predetermined fate in this world. The essence of everything should be chaos and madness!"
"Foolish humans..."
The owner of the voice was a heavily wounded merman bound to the tip of a spire on the rooftop. The merman's strength was disaster-level!
Beneath him were piled dense corpses of aquatic monsters, some fresh, some already rotten.
The only surviving merman's aura was also very weak, and he could die completely at any moment.
Wu Wang looked at the merman and mocked, "I am foolish... foolishly, I am still alive, and I can live for a long time. But you are all going to die!"
