Wen Wen, like a giant bat, landed on a billboard and sat there, contemplating his next course of action.
The other hunters would surely focus their attention on the aquatic monsters, believing Wu Wang and the aquatic monsters were allies and that the aquatic monsters were powerful.
But Wen Wen knew that Wu Wang and the aquatic monsters were, in fact, in a life-or-death struggle.
The current Huashi City could be divided into three factions: Wu Wang and the insects he released, the aquatic monsters, and the Hunter Association.
Each of these three factions was hostile to the other two.
Among these three, the Hunter Association was the strongest, but also the most passive. This was because the demon hunters had to protect the hundreds of thousands of citizens in the city, and all their enemies were hidden, even lurking within these hundreds of thousands of citizens.
The weakest was Wu Wang; his personal strength was negligible compared to the other two.
Yet, it was he who had orchestrated events from the shadows, turning the situation into what it was now. All his insects possessed a similar aura to him, making him extremely difficult to locate.
As for the monsters from Ao Ye Water City, they were in a slightly awkward position. They were very strong, with two Disaster-level ordered monsters even more powerful than the current hunters in Huashi City.
However, they couldn't find Wu Wang's location, yet they had to face ambushes from the Hunter Association. They didn't even know they had already been designated as the primary target by the Hunter Association.
The three factions were locked in a stalemate, waiting to see which side would reveal a weakness first.
Wen Wen decided to focus his mission on tracking down the insects released by Wu Wang and the gateway to the inner world that Wu Wang used to threaten the Hunter Association.
Moreover, if he had the chance, Wen Wen wanted to kill Wu Wang and take the good things he possessed.
As for those deep-sea monsters?
Wen Wen had no interest in fighting them. What if, during combat, they recognized that their true target was him?
What's more, the mother and child Wen Wen intended to save were killed by those insects. To resolve this karma, Wen Wen was determined to get revenge!
However, there were simply too many insects in Huashi City, hundreds of them. The places they crawled over left behind their scent, making the entire city reek of these insects, rendering normal tracking impossible.
He didn't even know what the insects looked like; San Zai'er swallowed them whole when he ate them.
After a moment of hesitation, Wen Wen decided he couldn't search like a headless fly. He then switched the monster physique on his left hand to a vampire physique.
Following this, he let out a strange, piercing shriek, and a large number of bats swarmed towards him from all corners of the city, surrounding him. Sudan Novel Network.
"Find all insects within a foot of their length in this vicinity. Also, notify me when there's any significant commotion."
After issuing the command, the bats dispersed, beginning their search for clues for Wen Wen.
The vampire's ability to summon bats was very effective, but it was somewhat geographically restricted, as certain seasons and locations had no bats. Fortunately, Huashi City had plenty of bats.
However, after Tao Qingqing advanced to Disaster-level, her vampire abilities were strengthened. She could now use blood energy to create ferocious, bloodthirsty bats out of thin air.
While these bats possessed combat power, their intelligence was inferior to that of wild bats.
After releasing his scouts, Wen Wen snapped his fingers again, placed his hand on the ground, and a pale blue aura emanated from his hand, forming a strange array pattern.
Subsequently, this array gradually disappeared.
This array was the ability of the blue strange person. Wen Wen only needed to engrave a teleportation mark at a location beforehand, and he could instantly teleport himself or some objects back to this mark when needed.
However, the distance couldn't be too great, and the marks left behind had time limits.
After completing all the arrangements, Wen Wen began to wait for the bats to bring him information and eagerly anticipate the upcoming battles. A city as crazy as this would surely provide him with a great experience.
After awakening his own abilities, Wen Wen no longer had to worry so much about using his monster physiques.
After completing exploration, his psychic power would gradually grow until the remnant spirit was nourished to sufficient strength.
At that time, Wen Wen would have to fight the remnant spirit, integrate it into himself, and truly master the power, completing assimilation.
Until then, Wen Wen did not need to use his abilities frequently.
Therefore, he was currently using two monster physiques simultaneously: one was the faceless demon physique, which mimicked the abilities of a blood-rotter, and the other was the vampire physique after his promotion.
The combination of these two physiques gave Wen Wen formidable front-line combat capabilities, even among those at the Disaster-level ordered.
"Speaking of which, why is Qin Shuang still undergoing incubation after such a long time? Tao Qingqing has already successfully transformed into a Disaster-level vampire. Does it really take that long to evolve from a vengeful spirit to a fierce ghost?"
A considerable amount of time had passed, and Qin Shuang was already undergoing incubation. The cold aura within the ghost egg was gradually intensifying, but there was no sign of it breaking free.
"Perhaps... it's due to him consuming the human-demon fetus. Maybe he will possess some demonic traits after completing his promotion."
As he was pondering, a bat flew to Wen Wen and chattered at him.
Wen Wen's eyes lit up, and he leaped into the air like a bat, flying in the direction the bat indicated.
...
At seven o'clock in the evening, Huashi City was enveloped by darkness, but the colorful lights could not dispel the chill of the night.
Ma Songran tidied up the documents on his desk, preparing to leave work and go home. He had voluntarily worked two extra hours, which would make tomorrow easier.
After the city-wide lockdown, the company had given them a few days off, but to make those days off more comfortable, he decided to finish his current work before going home.
He didn't take the so-called "rioters entering the city" seriously at all. Although there was a lot of commotion, it had nothing to do with him, a law-abiding citizen.
Just a bunch of rioters. The Federal Army had already been dispatched; they would likely be dealt with tonight, and life had to go on.
Many people shared his sentiment, and seven o'clock wasn't considered late, so there were still quite a few people in the building.
Just as he was preparing to go home for dinner, he heard screams from downstairs. The screams were extremely tragic, not sounding like anything a human could produce.
Begging, manic laughter, and the sounds of things being smashed followed in quick succession. It seemed as if something terrifying was stirring beneath the ground, and the intense stimulation nearly triggered Ma Songran's heart condition.
Could it be that those rioters had actually come to their company!
But Ma Songran had no idea that what was downstairs was not the so-called rioters, but something infinitely more terrifying than rioters!
At the company entrance, a man in a purple shirt and a top hat walked out with a sinister grin.
This was merely one of his arrangements.
