Seeing her lick the mucus, Wen Wen felt a bit disgusted. After hearing hundreds of them, his scalp tingled. If these hundreds of insects all parasitized human bodies as before, the harm caused would be immeasurable.
So he stepped forward and said, "I don't know if what I encountered before was this bug, but I think it's necessary to explain to everyone."
Next, Wen Wen recounted the situation of the driver and the woman he encountered to everyone.
Everyone felt a chill. If that were the case, hundreds of madmen might be trying to cause destruction in the city right now.
Kong Die found it to be expected. When she inferred the insect's form, she had this idea. Parasitism was also a common method for insect-type superpowered beings.
As everyone was shocked by the insect, Wen Wen suddenly sensed something was wrong. Since they only learned about the insect's situation now, why was the Hunter Association making such a big fuss about it?
After Wen Wen raised the question, a superpowered being who had been standing at the edge walked out.
This Wanderer wore a loose robe, obscuring his face, but beneath the robe seemed to be covered in dense black bandages.
He stepped forward and said, "Let me explain why the association issued the mission early."
"Before the anomalies began here, the association received a threatening phone call from the wanted criminal 'Game Maniac'."
Game Maniac...
Isn't that Wu Wang? A sharp glint flashed in Wen Wen's eyes. This matter was indeed caused by him.
However, if he alone could make the Hunter Association so agitated, that guy was truly not simple. With Wen Wen's current strength, he might not be able to deal with him.
"'Game Maniac' said on the phone that he would open the gate to the inner world in Huashan City, and he also said that there was a group of monsters from the seabed hidden in Huashan City, and these monsters were planning to slaughter the city."
"Those seabed monsters are an organized group of monsters, large in number, and there are at least two monsters of the Disaster Order..."
Wen Wen secretly sneered. He knew the truth; the so-called seabed monsters planning to slaughter the city were actually here to hunt Wu Wang. They had no interest in slaughtering the city.
And Wu Wang's goal was nothing more than to use the Hunter Association's power to deal with the seabed monsters hunting him.
However, those seabed monsters were also Wen Wen's enemies. If they hadn't been misled by Wen Wen to hunt Wu Wang, it would have been Wen Wen being hunted now. Therefore, Wen Wen did not tell the demon hunters present the truth.
The demon hunter who was wrapped tightly continued, "The association had been trying to verify the authenticity of his information. After confirming the existence of those aquatic monsters, we issued the mission. We didn't expect these bugs to appear."
After this demon hunter finished speaking, he stood aside silently. It was then that Wen Wen noticed his strength: Assimilation Realm... Upper Order!
Among the eight people present, there had always been an Assimilation Upper Order demon hunter, and he hadn't hidden his aura much. However, Wen Wen only noticed his strength after he finished speaking, which seemed a bit strange.
The others also noticed this person's abnormality. Kong Die asked hesitantly, "May I ask who you are..."
The man paused, then patted his forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am a Level 1 Wanderer of the Huafu Great Region, codenamed 'Hidden Thorn'. I am temporarily serving as the commander of this operation. I was the one who sent the message for you to gather here."
When Wanderer were acting alone, their permissions were roughly the same. However, there were levels among Wanderers: Special, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, corresponding to Assimilation True Order, Upper Order, Middle Order, and Lower Order respectively.
Xun Qing, that fellow, was a Special Wanderer, and Hidden Thorn, holding the position of Level 1 Wanderer, must certainly be an Assimilation Upper Order superpowered being.
However, the level of a Wanderer was determined by merit and strength together. Therefore, a Level 1 Wanderer was definitely an Upper Order superpowered being, but an Upper Order superpowered being without sufficient merit might not necessarily be a Level 1 Wanderer.
For example, Wen Wen, although his strength had reached the Middle Order level, had been in the Lower Order for too short a time and had not accumulated enough merit. He was still a Level 3 Wanderer.
The levels of Wanderers were of little use in normal times, as everyone acted alone.
But when it was necessary for multiple Wanderers to execute a mission together, command would fall to the highest-ranked Wanderer present.
Seeing everyone staring at him with wide eyes, Hidden Thorn felt a bit uncomfortable. He chuckled dryly and said, "Don't mind me, just discuss as you normally would."
Wen Wen rolled his eyes. You said you were in charge of the command, how could we not mind you?
Thus, the conversation on the rooftop became awkward. Hidden Thorn sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, next, I will explain the next steps of our action plan."
"Including me, there are eight Wanderers present, each an elite. But the eight of us are not enough. More than ten other Wanderers are still arriving throughout the day."
"Before they arrive, we need to spread out to gather intelligence and suppress the chaos appearing in the city as much as possible."
"As for command... I don't really have much to command. Everyone is like me; they prefer to act alone. So, when other Level 1 Wanderers arrive, I will hand over command."
"Remember one thing: your main tasks are to gather intelligence and keep the city as stable as possible, not to solve problems single-handedly. Therefore, when encountering enemies of disaster level, you must act with caution and avoid falling into enemy traps."
After speaking, Hidden Thorn leaped directly from the rooftop. The moment his figure disappeared, his aura vanished. If it weren't for his title as a Level 1 Demon Hunter, Wen Wen would have suspected he had fallen to his death.
Wen Wen rubbed his hair. Why did he feel that this Hidden Thorn seemed very flustered?
At first, he spoke with great composure, but when everyone's attention was focused on him, he seemed unaccustomed to it, so he quickly issued the mission and disappeared.
This guy, it seems he has a bit of social phobia.
Facing such an unreliable commander, the others exchanged helpless glances and each chose a direction to disperse, resolving the city's troubles in their own ways.
As Hidden Thorn said, what each Wanderer was best at was actually fighting alone.
If everyone gathered together, they would be safe, but the efficiency of solving problems would definitely decrease.
