The severed tentacles writhed and contorted, attempting to approach Zhou Nuo's body and regain control of him.
But Wen Wen snapped his fingers, and acid sprayed all over Zhou Nuo, dissolving his body.
The remaining three's expressions changed. Dark green slime and bizarre tissues immediately seeped from their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses, enveloping their bodies as they tried to transform into a combat-ready state.
But their transformations, though fast to others, were like slow motion to Wen Wen.
He wouldn't give them the chance!
Wen Wen stomped forcefully on one side of the floor, causing the opposite end to buckle upward, flinging all three of them into the air!
Then, Wen Wen bent down and, like a phantom, swept past the three. When he stopped, the tentacles connecting them had been severed!
Afterward, Wen Wen swiftly corroded them with acid to prevent regeneration.
In this manner, the entire family of four was annihilated by Wen Wen!
Had they fully transformed, they might have possessed disaster-level strength, but disaster levels are not all equal.
These mass-produced monsters, at best, had the strength and speed to meet the minimum threshold of disaster level, but in a real fight, any normal transcendent master could easily kill them.
And Wen Wen's strength, among all transcendent masters, could be considered top-tier, making them incredibly easy to deal with.
Even so, if they had completed their transformations, Wen Wen would have had to expend considerable effort to kill all four of them head-on.
Therefore, Wen Wen first found their weakness before dealing with them.
However, after killing the four, Wen Wen did not let down his guard at all, because he knew the greatest challenge actually lay ahead.
That family of four was merely bait, and the one Wen Wen had to deal with was the fisherman behind the bait, namely, the villa itself!
As expected, after all four were killed by Wen Wen, the entire house began to tremble.
Bizarre sounds emanated from all parts of the house, like water flowing through pipes, or unknown creatures crawling throughout the villa. The ground undulated, and vascular patterns appeared on the walls.
Countless malevolent things were now prepared, ready to launch an attack on Wen Wen at any moment.
The most heartwarming villa in this corrupted neighborhood instantly transformed into the most terrifying hell.
"This is more like it. I'm in a hurry and don't want to play mind games with you, though I don't know if you have the intellect for mind games."
As soon as Wen Wen finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet turned into a ferocious maw, attempting to swallow him.
He hastily jumped away, only to find there was no longer any stable ground for him.
The entire villa had become violent. The floor, tables, chairs, and wall hangings had all vanished, replaced by horrifying fleshy barriers!
Everything Wen Wen could touch was twisting and writhing.
Some released putrid gases, while others transformed into toothed tentacles, lashing out wildly. Without a safe place to stand, Wen Wen was somewhat overwhelmed.
He had to deploy various abilities just to barely ensure he wasn't harmed by the villa.
"A miscalculation. I shouldn't have fought it from within; I should have attacked it directly from the outside."
But Wen Wen actually knew that once he entered, it would be difficult to leave.
That family was merely a lure, and this place was a trap. The moment he agreed to enter, he had already stepped into it.
The strange behavior of Zhou Nuo and the other three was merely an attempt by this deformed entity to more easily devour Wen Wen.
If viewed from the outside, this place would now appear as a massive flesh mass the size of a villa, or perhaps a giant stomach, with Wen Wen trapped inside.
Like food about to be digested.
Wen Wen swung his two daggers in succession, severing numerous tentacles while continuously shifting and dodging attacks that couldn't be cut.
"After this is over, I must practice the sword techniques from the back of that diary. Relying solely on physical swings is far too inefficient."
Wen Wen wished he could swing his dagger once and cut off a whole string of tentacles, instead of only being able to sever one at a time like now.
The severed tentacles, upon falling to the ground, would merge back into the flesh mass.
In other words, Wen Wen's chopping was merely for self-preservation; it didn't even cause the flesh mass to expend any energy.
"To break this deadlock is still possible. If I can lure out a mouse, I can easily kill it... but that would yield no benefit, and it would increase the risk of the containment facility being exposed."
"...However, others probably can't see me here. With this behemoth's presence, its aura sensing should also be shielded."
After a brief contemplation, Wen Wen formed a plan. He directly drilled into the Disaster Containment Facility.
Feeling Wen Wen's disappearance from within, the flesh mass became enraged.
The prey that had already entered the trap was gone, and it had sacrificed several excellent baits.
Therefore, the flesh mass rose from the ground and slowly approached Aunt Chen's spider nest next door!
Since it couldn't eat a super-powered being, it might as well eat something else. It was already extremely hungry!
The guardian spiders of the nest fought back with all their might, but the gap between them and the flesh mass was too great, and they were devoured one by one.
With each monster it consumed, the flesh mass grew larger and its offensive capabilities increased. Eventually, it even devoured the two strongest disaster-level spider monsters in this villa.
When it stopped its pointless pretense, the flesh mass's rate of growth became terrifyingly fast.
No one knew what it would become after it devoured all the monsters in this corrupted neighborhood.
At this moment, Wen Wen reappeared in the villa, carrying a somewhat substantial package.
This package was filled with rudimentary improvised explosives!
As a detective, carrying enough explosives to destroy a small building is also...
Alright, in the Federation, many high-yield weapons are regulated.
With Wen Wen's abilities, obtaining some prohibited items wouldn't be difficult, but it would easily leave him vulnerable.
However, for simple explosives like these, as long as he had money, Wen Wen could get as many as he wanted without leaving any trace.
Wen Wen's usual practice was to be prepared for any eventuality. After using the containment facility as a natural large warehouse, he had stored many items to deal with various situations, and explosives were among them.
He absolutely did not prepare the explosives for the sake of causing trouble.
This large bag of explosives represented Wen Wen's entire stock. He intended to detonate them all here!
These explosives were enough to blow up a smaller building, but likely not enough to kill the flesh mass. However, Wen Wen only needed to weaken it, which was sufficient!
