After discovering the red giant hand, Wen Wen disabled five more tiger-like puppets before figuring out where those hands came from.
In hidden spots at the bottom of puddles and beneath tree bark within the deadwood forest, blood-colored palm prints could be found buried.
The swift, blood-colored hands all appeared suddenly from these palm prints. The instantaneous attack intensity of each blood-colored hand, when activated, far surpassed the normal intermediate stage. Even Wen Wen had to deal with them carefully to ensure he wasn't harmed.
However, after completing one attack, the power of these blood-colored hands would decrease, and anyone with intermediate stage strength could cope with them calmly.
But the problem was that Wen Wen didn't know how these blood-colored palm prints were triggered, nor how many of them were hidden within the deadwood forest.
Each palm print looked extremely ordinary, emitting no fluctuations of power. It was impossible to find them through sensory abilities.
The wounds of the deadwood forest were filled with an unresolvable necrotic energy. Once one entered, they might be trapped by the things within.
Therefore, even Wen Wen dared not rashly charge into this deadwood forest.
“But blood-colored palm prints… could they be Blood Handprint Monsters?”
“No way…”
Wen Wen had encountered a Blood Handprint Monster in the mysterious space of the Plague Spirit.
Places where it left its handprints would unleash powerful attacks when people passed by again.
In that case, the handprints here were identical in ability to that monster.
However, the difference in strength between the two was too vast. Any one of the blood-colored handprints here could crush ten Blood Handprint Monsters.
Therefore, Wen Wen leaned more towards them being two different monsters with similar abilities.
But…
If one thought carefully, the similarities between the dim domain of the Qingji Plateau and that strange space were too numerous.
Monsters that revived after a period of time following death;
Monsters that knew Wen Wen's name and wanted to find him;
A monster suspected to have once been a psychiatrist, whose voice Wen Wen found somewhat familiar.
And then this Blood Handprint Monster…
Wen Wen's heart was filled with doubts, and the more he thought, the more suspicious it became.
But no matter how suspicious it was, there were two points that couldn't be bypassed. The first was that Wen Wen had not yet encountered a single monster confirmed to have originated from the mysterious space.
The second was the issue of strength. The strongest monster in the mysterious space was the Plague Spirit.
If the Plague Spirit could reach such formidable strength in a short period, similar to Wen Wen, it was somewhat plausible. But why would other monsters possess such rapid growth in strength?
Moreover, with the number of monsters in that mental hospital, it was impossible to create such a large-scale disaster.
Lord of the Dead Silence and Void…
A title quietly surfaced in Wen Wen's mind. It was the first time Wen Wen had seen the containment facility show fear towards an existence!
If it was the power of a supreme ruler from the inner world, then all of this might not be impossible!
Wen Wen shook his head. At this stage, he could only suspect. Without concrete evidence, he couldn't jump to conclusions, but he still needed to prepare based on this guess.
If the enemy he faced this time was another version of himself, then he absolutely could not expose his identity.
Suddenly, Wen Wen's expression froze because he saw a figure staggeringly and dazedly walking into this deadwood forest.
That figure was none other than Chu Wei!
“Why is he here, and judging by his expression, has he also been affected?”
And behind Chu Wei, several familiar auras followed – Wu Liugen and Gu Panxi, among others.
Before Wen Wen could figure out what was happening, the deadwood forest behind him became agitated.
The earlier probing of the blood-colored palm prints in the deadwood forest had already attracted the attention of the undead within. They had gathered their strength, preparing to eliminate the one who was probing.
But Wen Wen had initially hidden very well. They only vaguely knew that there was an enemy here, but hadn't discovered Wen Wen's exact location.
However, Chu Wei and the others had made too much noise as they advanced. The things in the deadwood forest immediately rushed out.
A giant humanoid skeleton, smashing through mountains and toppling trees, advanced.
This skeleton was over ten meters tall, seemingly the skeleton of a female giant, a species similar to the one Chu Wei had previously killed.
Its bones were as white as jade, and green flames burned within its massive skull. The flames were extremely hot, igniting the dead trees it encountered along the way.
And behind this skeleton, there were at least a hundred undead of various levels.
The current situation was that Wen Wen looked towards Wu Liugen and the others, wearing a strange mask and exuding a chilling aura.
And behind him, a group of ferocious monsters charged forward. These monsters included skeletons, zombies, and stitched creatures; in short, none of them looked like well-meaning individuals.
This scene, no matter who looked at it, would appear to be a heinous boss targeting and attacking their demon hunters.
So, Wu Liugen unhesitatingly raised the "Buddha's Word Gatling" with one hand, infusing it with golden energy. Each barrel lit up with a Buddhist mantra.
Then, bullets made of golden light rained down on Wen Wen like a fierce storm.
Wen Wen broke out in a cold sweat. The "Buddha's Word Gatling" controlled by Wu Liugen could kill a blue cicada worm with a single bullet!
And after the blue bullets, there were green butterflies, crystal feathers, and other psychic attacks.
Even Wen Wen would not come out unscathed if he were hit by these attacks.
So, black mist emanated from Wen Wen, and dark blue light flashed. Wen Wen disappeared from his spot, and these attacks landed on the monsters behind him. Sudan Fiction Network
Wen Wen was already a prominent figure within the Hunter Association, and almost everyone knew that his teleportation was accompanied by blue light. Therefore, he needed some disguise for teleportation.
The weak, undead spirits disintegrated directly upon being hit by these attacks, and the giant skeleton was also forced back dozens of meters.
After stopping, the flames within the skeleton's skull intensified, and it spewed scorching flames towards Wu Liugen and the others.
Wen Wen teleported in front of them and condensed a black barrier, blocking the flames. The green flames scorched the soil in front of Wen Wen, turning it into scorched earth.
Simultaneously, behind Wen Wen, black energy condensed into several large characters.
“Calm down, we are on the same side.”
Wu Liugen and the others fell silent. With his current appearance, did he have the nerve to claim they were on the same side?
However, due to Wen Wen blocking the attack for them, they did not immediately launch an attack on him.
After some thought, Wen Wen took out an arm badge. This was an identity verification item issued by the Hunter Association to the Black Cross during a certain operation.
“I am from the Black Cross. I am here to help you solve the problem, and I am also investigating this place.”
Many psychics had seen this arm badge before. The Black Cross had some reputation among the hunters.
Most importantly, for the past day or two, psychics from the Black Cross had been helping the Hunter Association rescue civilians.
Therefore, although Wu Liugen and the others did not lower their guard, their hostility towards Wen Wen was reduced.
