The shattered knee healed quickly, and Wen Wen, watching the puppet's retreating back, began to ponder.
He looked at the puppet again. It had no reaction, simply wandering around aimlessly, appearing somewhat cute.
“So, the condition that triggers this puppet’s attack is indeed a condescending gaze.”
“Next, I just need to subdue it without looking down on it.”
Wen Wen took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, clenched his fingers like a reptile’s claws, and began to crawl rapidly on his back.
Like a human caterpillar.
This was Wen Wen’s first time moving in this manner, but with the support of his powerful physique and body balance, it felt quite good. Sudan Novel Network.
He quickly approached the puppet. As expected, the puppet showed no reaction to his approach, even greeting him amicably.
Then, Wen Wen directly extended his hands, lifted it high, and slowly stood up.
The puppet offered slight resistance, but its strength was less than that of an ordinary child. Without anyone looking down on it, this thing was truly too weak.
Wen Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Black chains spread from the Disaster Gloves, binding the puppet and dragging it towards the Containment Facility.
The containment of the puppet was incredibly simple, almost unbelievably so. However, it would have been much more difficult for anyone else.
First, if a normal person’s knees were shattered, they would basically be crippled.
Second, without the Containment Facility, one would have to ensure that no birds flew overhead during the transportation of the puppet.
When Wen Wen entered the Containment Facility, he discovered that this puppet was indeed a disaster-level containment object, confined in Disaster Zone Two Containment Warehouse, next to the human-head dog.
This containment warehouse was shrouded in darkness, completely isolating the puppet, making it invisible to anyone.
“As Zhu Qipei said, containment objects are merely the embodiment of some strange power. In certain aspects, they are terrifyingly strong, but as long as their weaknesses are understood, they become much easier to handle.”
Standing at the entrance of the containment warehouse, after a moment of thought, Wen Wen wrote on the screen at the entrance:
After thinking, he wrote on the door:
‘Designation zhi-0002, Codename Shattered Knee Puppet’
‘Containment Time: Unknown’
‘Containment Location: Qi Ling Mountain Range’
‘Containment Personnel: Disaster Containment Officer 10086’
Characteristics: Indestructible, does not tire. Being struck in the knee by its drill will always shatter it.
Containment Measures: Ensure no living being looks down upon this puppet.
…
Emerging from the Containment Facility, Wen Wen looked at the now devastated village and stroked his chin.
“Now I need to act. I have to make it convincing.”
He picked up a stone the size of two human heads, exerted his strength, and threw it towards the Qi Ling Mountain Range.
Then, he made some arrangements to create the illusion of an earth-shattering battle, and subsequently walked out of the village, appearing somewhat disheveled.
As soon as he emerged, Li Lantian and the others surrounded him, looking at him expectantly and asking, “Did you catch it?”
Wen Wen shook his head helplessly and said, “I didn’t catch it. My knee was almost shattered too, but I later discovered its weakness. It has now fled north, and I will pursue it.”
Li Lantian shook his head in disappointment. He had thought the matter could end here. Then, he said with shock, “North… North is Qi Ling Mountain!”
“You’re going to Qi Ling Mountain to capture it? There are many beast-type monsters there. Under normal circumstances, the Association wouldn’t venture into Qi Ling Mountain. It’s too dangerous.”
Wen Wen waved his hand, indicating that it was not a problem. “Precisely why I must catch it. After shattering so many people’s knees, it must pay a price. I won’t let it rest peacefully just because it’s fled into a mountain range.”
“Time is of the essence, I can’t talk to you any longer. this village is safe now, but you still need to observe for another two days. I’m going to pursue it now.”
With that, Wen Wen bent his knees, and then shot out like a fired bullet, leaving the stunned Li Lantian and the others behind.
After becoming a formal member of the Association, Wen Wen had diligently studied some knowledge, and his experience had also increased significantly.
At least now he knew what kind of place Qi Ling Mountain was.
From ancient times to the present, the inhabitants of the inner world have never ceased their invasion of the real world.
And the strength of the demon hunters is limited; they cannot possibly eradicate all monsters. Even if only one or two slip through the net each year, the number of monsters remaining in the real world is still enormous.
These stragglers gradually gathered spontaneously, forming monster settlements.
Famous examples include Fengdu Ghost City in the Huafu District, the Desert of Death in the Efei District, and the Vampire Lair in the Golden Eagle District, all of which are such places.
These monster settlements generally have contracts with the Hunter Association, confining themselves to their territories and not actively interfering with humans. Otherwise, they would be purged by the Hunter Association.
And these settlements are generally quite powerful, so the Hunter Association is reluctant to engage them in conflict.
In fact, the existence of these settlements, where monsters gather, is beneficial to the Association. If these monsters caused destruction everywhere, it would be a more troublesome matter.
Although Qi Ling Mountain occupies a large area, it is considered a medium-sized monster settlement. Powerful demons have resided there since ancient times, making it difficult even for the Hunter Association to deal with.
The majority of monsters gathered here are beast-types, like the previous Twin Rocs.
The Association has signed contracts with the top few powerful Great Yokai of Qi Ling Mountain. As long as they do not leave the scope of Qi Ling Mountain, the Association will not actively attack them.
However, this contract is only with the strongest monsters in the mountain. As for the remaining monsters, they are more like livestock raised by the Hunter Association.
Occasionally, the Association also uses this place as a trial ground for new demon hunters. Therefore, as long as Wen Wen does not provoke the top few monsters while hunting here, he will not be violating the regulations.
When Wen Wen arrived, he found the area surrounded by an electrified barbed-wire fence, with prominent danger signs everywhere.
This barbed-wire fence was only to deter ordinary people. The barrier that intercepted monsters was a bit deeper inside.
Due to the presence of monsters, wild beasts such as leopards, wild boars, and brown bears typically found in deep mountains were all active on the mountain range’s periphery, making it dangerous for ordinary people even on the outskirts.
“This is the Qi Ling Mountain Range… The air is clearer than in other places.”
Even at the mountain range’s edge, the trees here were much taller than elsewhere and imbued with a vitality absent elsewhere.
A round-faced plump chicken perched on a treetop, looking curiously at Wen Wen as if he were something interesting.
Wen Wen smiled slightly and leaped over the high barbed-wire fence, landing on the tree trunk where the round-faced plump chicken was.
The round-faced plump chicken opened its beak wide, as if saying, “Oh my, why can this bipedal land creature fly?”
