Wen Wen then took out a bottle of Netherworld Flower Potion and gave Du Ke Dan and the other two a simple treatment. The assistants also began to take over the scene.
The two demon hunters killed by Conehead Dad would be cremated and solemnly buried, while the scarred demon hunter killed by the tentacle monsters had only a pair of black gloves remaining intact.
The world of demon hunters was cruel. One could succeed ten or a hundred times, but a single failure could lead to unbearable consequences.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive. Wen Wen walked up to Du Ke Dan, comforted him briefly, and then said, "You can go to the Foundation's outpost in Sihu City to recuperate. I'll handle this from here..."
Then Wen Wen went to check the underground cave of Willow Creek Residence. He did not find the original employees and owner of Willow Creek Residence, only a large number of bones at the end of the deep pit.
Among these bones were human and animal bones, with flesh and blood removed. It was unknown what they were used for.
Then there were some cultivation tanks, and in some of these tanks, there were half-developed giant mosquitoes and tentacle monsters.
It seemed that the creatures discovered earlier were cultivated this way. After thinking for a moment, Wen Wen took two sets of equipment and some data, and destroyed all the remaining items.
Wen Wen would keep some of the equipment and data, as there were talented individuals in the containment facility who could work with these things. As for the rest, he would sell it to the Hunter's Association.
Wen Wen opposed the mass production of such evil creatures, but he would not give up research. Necessary understanding was still needed.
After coming out of the cave, there was nothing more to investigate. Willow Creek Residence was directly sealed off. After the demon problem was resolved, the cave would be filled in.
However, whether there would be another Willow Creek Residence here remained unknown.
In the evening, as Willow Creek Residence was sealed off, a beam of fire fell from the sky, transforming into an old man with a spiral-shaped head upon landing. He was Drill Grandpa, the father of Conehead Dad!
Drill Grandpa was one of the thirteen council members of the Abyssal Eye, and his strength was at the True Order level!
He took in everything that had happened here. Upon realizing what had occurred, he began to wail heartbrokenly.
"My poor son, my poor grandson..."
"You did not die in vain. You contributed to the arrival of the Pure White Lord. The Abyssal Eye will remember your merits, and the one who killed you will face the most terrifying retribution!"
...
After leaving Willow Creek Residence, Wen Wen returned to the Foundation's outpost ahead of time and found Tao Qingqing searching for information on the computer.
So he sat in his rocking chair and asked as if he were in charge, "What have you found out?"
Tao Qingqing looked strange. "The reason for the development of the Kewei Group in Sihu City is unknown. They purchased or leased civilian houses or small shops on the outskirts of the city, or even pure wasteland, but did not invest in commercial development."
"It now appears that they are operating at a loss, and their true purpose is unclear."
"Also, the three people you saw today, one is Zhang Kewei, the chairman of the Kewei Group, and the other is Zhang Kewei's son, Zhang Jianda..."
Wen Wen's rocking motion paused: "Wait a minute, I've seen Zhang Kewei before. He doesn't look like that, and he's so old that dirt has reached his forehead wrinkles..."
Wen Wen stopped speaking halfway. He remembered that when he was a demon hunter in Furonghe City, he had gone to see Zhang Kewei with Jiao Xinlei. At that time, Zhang Kewei, although old and frail, seemed to have a very strange power within him.
It was highly possible that the middle-aged man was indeed Zhang Kewei, but he had used some method to regain his youth.
Then the woman following Zhang Kewei should be Wang Qin, the demon hunter who had retired to be a bodyguard. Unexpectedly, she had also become young along with him.
Wang Qin had thought highly of Wen Wen and had helped him get a recommendation letter from the traveling hunter Binghe to participate in the traveling hunter assessment, so Wen Wen had a good impression of her.
If it weren't for her, Wen Wen might not have become a traveling hunter so quickly.
The demon hunter followed behind Zhang Kewei. Perhaps Zhang Kewei was not problematic and had just happened to come to Sihu City.
However, out of caution, Wen Wen still asked Tao Qingqing for the locations of all the shops purchased or leased by the Kewei Group and marked them on the map.
Wen Wen squinted and looked for a while before his eyes lit up. He crossed out one address after another, and then connected the remaining addresses with lines, resulting in these places forming a giant circle!
Enclosing an area with his own properties would not help him make money at all, so this move by the Kewei Group was definitely suspicious.
If Wen Wen had not achieved some success in studying runes, he would not have been able to identify this circle from the complex addresses at a glance.
Circles were the foundation of most runic arrays and sacrificial rituals. The Kewei Group had created such a thing, so they must have been planning something.
The question was, did they have any connection with those demons?
Wen Wen's thoughts drifted, and he recalled Wang Qin's ability, which was to shoot light arrows with her bow.
This immediately connected everything.
Wen Wen had not suspected Wang Qin before because her light arrows were not dark green, and her figure did not match that of the masked woman.
But the current Wang Qin had become young, and her aura was slightly different from before. This could also explain the sense of familiarity Wen Wen had felt from Hu Yanbing...
Therefore, the one who attacked Lin Huan and the other two at that time was Wang Qin!
The Kewei Group also had connections with the Abyssal Eye. Perhaps the equipment in the underground cave was provided by the Kewei Group to the Abyssal Eye.
Although the equipment had no labels, if one compared the craftsmanship with other equipment from the Kewei Group, some clues could be found.
Perhaps it was the Abyssal Eye that had made Zhang Kewei young!
Moreover, when demons appeared in Furonghe City, Zhang Kewei was recuperating in Furonghe City!
All of this was still speculation, but whether it was true or not, Wen Wen only needed to verify it to know for sure.
However...
Wen Wen's gaze darkened. The Kewei Group was a behemoth.
Although the power of the Kewei Group could not be compared to that of secret organizations, it had a significant impact on people's lives. If Wen Wen recklessly destroyed the Kewei Group, it would inevitably cause social unrest.
Therefore, dealing with the Kewei Group should be planned carefully, choosing a method with the least impact.
Suddenly, Wen Wen received a report that the Faceless Demon had been attacked. The attacker was a True Order monster with a drill on its head. If it weren't for Iliyat, the Foundation would have suffered heavy losses this time.
However, because Wen Wen had given a warning beforehand, this monster had fallen into a trap. Not only did it fail to injure the Faceless Demon, but it was almost surrounded and killed.
Wen Wen's expression was strange: "Could there really be a Drill Grandpa..."
