The quiet and dark underground labyrinth seemed to be experiencing a change unseen for many years.
A dynamic piece of music flowed through the silent underground palace.
"Because you're too beautiful, too beautiful, too beautiful. Because you're too beautiful, too beautiful, too beautiful…"
Wen Wen lay on the body of a monster, holding a goblet, occasionally flicking a drop of blood onto the monster's body.
Beside him sat a watermelon-sized speaker, which he had also taken from the containment facility.
Stimulated by the blood and sound, many monsters that had previously kept their distance were now moving closer to Wen Wen.
After walking for a while, Wen Wen realized he had been surrounded by a group of small monsters. A preliminary scan revealed that most of these monsters were disaster-grade, or even below disaster-grade.
Wen Wen's eyebrows shot up, and he activated another machine next to the speaker.
It was a disco ball light, and chaotic beams of light shot out from it, instantly disorienting the small monsters surrounding Wen Wen.
Then, Wen Wen drew 'Qun Lang' and activated its splitting mode, opening fire on the small monsters.
After emptying a few magazines, there were no more small monsters gathered around Wen Wen.
Although these monsters had levels similar to superhumans, their physical bodies had only reached that level of strength. They lacked the peculiar abilities of superhumans and ordinary monsters in the outside world, making them weaker than monsters of the same level.
However, these monsters were very well-adapted to the dark environment, and their sheer numbers made them a nuisance to superhumans.
It was precisely because nearly two hundred superhumans at the Assimilation realm had arrived simultaneously that Wen Wen dared to be so ostentatious.
If he were alone in this dark space, he would be torn to shreds by waves of monsters within minutes.
As he was thinking, Wen Wen's sharp eyes spotted a monster about the same size as the one he was lying on, behind the group of smaller monsters.
"Quick, chase it!"
Thus, the monster controlled by chains madly pursued its own kind.
…
The hunt had been going on for some time. Wen Wen had hunted five disaster-grade monsters, confining one of them into the containment facility. Catching five more would be enough to meet the assessment requirements.
Unfortunately, he hadn't encountered any catastrophe-grade monsters, leaving him with pent-up energy that had nowhere to be discharged.
Suddenly, Wen Wen stopped and stared at the monster beneath him, lost in thought. He had discovered something rather chilling.
The monster's eyes had grown larger, and the color of its pupils seemed to have changed. Its body had also undergone subtle alterations.
It no longer felt discomfort from the faint light on Wen Wen. Instead, it had adapted to this level of light. It had evolved from a creature of pure darkness into a monster that could adapt to environments with faint light!
"The monsters here are not only numerous, but they can also evolve specifically for their environment!"
This was not entirely new to superhumans, but when an entire species of monsters possessed this ability, it was truly terrifying.
Once they breached this labyrinth, the monsters in the water would become useful, those adept at jumping might grow wings, and monsters with sharp claws might be able to burrow through soil…
This was a race that could truly conquer the entire Earth, and as long as that cataclysmic containment item remained, these monsters would be born endlessly!
No wonder the Hunter Association had built a large base for a single containment item. If this thing were not controlled properly, it would indeed be a monumental disaster!
As he marveled, he sensed a wild aura rapidly approaching him. This aura felt more like that of a beast than a human to Wen Wen.
"Looks like a new monster is coming, its strength is roughly..."
Miao Miaomiao continued to ask, "Then how did you think of controlling monsters to find other monsters?"
"Because I'm smart."
Wen Wen still did not elaborate, intending to portray himself as a very aloof and cool figure in front of Miao Miaomiao.
This was because he had encountered her in a different form before and did not want her to discover his identity through subtle clues, especially since her intuition was so strong.
"Do you have to be so cold? You were peeping at me earlier, meow. Men are indeed unfaithful pigs." Miao Miaomiao said contemptuously.
As expected, she had noticed him in the plaza.
To maintain his dignity as a man, Wen Wen replied indignantly, "Nonsense, you women are the unfaithful pigs!"
Miao Miaomiao transformed, her palm turning into a small pig's hoof with pink skin, and she said triumphantly to Wen Wen, "I am, meow."
Wen Wen was speechless…
