55 -55: Three-Eyed Snake
Wen Wen scanned the area again and noticed there were a few other casually dressed people like him; they must be other freelance hunters from Furong River City.
The main force of the Hunter Association could easily break through this barrier, but for ordinary superpower users, entering was somewhat strenuous.
As superpowered beings who frequently fought life and death battles with monsters, Demon Hunters were completely different from these regular freelance hunters who at best would bully small town citizens.
“Buddy, don’t strain yourself, this barrier isn’t easy to break.
If the elite of the Hunter Association can’t handle it, we might not be of much use going in.
It’s better to wait here for the results.”
A young man in a purple shirt, sporting a stylish hairstyle, clapped Wen Wen on the shoulder and smiled as if he were the male lead in an idol drama.
“It’s much safer to stay outside, how about we get to know each other?
My name is Wu Wang.”
The other freelance hunters also nodded kindly at Wen Wen; they were just superpowered citizens who didn’t want to fight monsters.
Not just them, most freelance hunters were merely loafing around.
In times of crisis, they would follow orders from the Hunters Association, but don’t expect them to give their all.
“You should be safer going back to your club,” Wen Wen glanced at him and said indifferently.
“Club…
what club?” Wu Wang was somewhat surprised, not understanding what Wen Wen meant.
“With superpowers, dealing with a steel wool ball should be quite easy, right?” Wen Wen explained somewhat cryptically.
“Steel wool ball…” Wu Wang scratched his head, even more confused by what Wen Wen was saying.
“It’s actually good that you don’t understand.” Wen Wen no longer conversed with Wu Wang but took a rocket launcher, walked towards the fence, jumped onto the wall, and caressed the barrier.
“This barrier even heals itself, and quite quickly…
that’s a bit troubling.
I must pass through it at a very high speed.”
Wen Wen reloaded a rocket, thought for a second, then climbed onto a nearby tree, adjusted his angle, and directly fired the rocket.
“Firing a rocket from such a close range, has he lost his mind?”
The freelance hunters were shocked.
The distance between the tree and the barrier was only a few meters; at that distance, the explosion would injure Wen Wen too!
Before the smoke had cleared, Wen Wen covered his nose and mouth and leaped directly into the gap created by the explosion.
His Containment Officer uniform could resist some damage, but his head and face were unprotected.
By the time the gap closed, Wen Wen had already appeared inside the barrier.
At that moment, Wen Wen had several minor wounds, but these wounds were healing at a visibly fast rate; he had fed the female vampire a considerable amount of blood these days to extract information from her.
Therefore, the Blood Energy stored in Tao Qingqing was very abundant, improving Wen Wen’s healing speed significantly more than usual.
“Steel wool ball…
steel wool ball…
that guy was mocking me!”
It took Wu Wang a while to realize what those words meant; just as he was about to go after Wen Wen, he saw that Wen Wen had already made his way into the barrier using the explosion.
“Forget about it, if we’re mocked, we’re mocked.
He’s not on the same level as those of us who are just getting by,” a short and stocky freelance hunter consoled Wu Wang.
“No, we are the same,” he said, looking in the direction Wen Wen had gone.
…
Wen Wen took a deep breath, his nostrils filled with a strong scent of blood.
The smell here was too mixed, and the various noises too many, causing interference.
However, he didn’t put on a mask.
Unlike the underground sewers, every area here could be dangerous.
Maintaining a sensitive Perception Ability would give him an edge.
And moreover…
the smell of blood wasn’t as disturbing to him as the foul stench of the sewer!
“According to what Ding Monkey said, there should be many different types of monsters here, so for me, this place is a treasure trove.
I wonder what kind of monster I’ll encounter first…”
Wen Wen could sense the presence of monsters in every direction, and these monsters were not very strong, all within his range of response, which made him somewhat excited about the encounters to come.
Just as Wen Wen was excited, a slender little snake, the same color as the dirt, slowly approached him from near his feet.
This little snake had three eyes and bright red tongues, which were its only colors that differed from the rest.
It could change colors faster than a chameleon, almost seeming invisible if not looked at closely.
When it reached near Wen Wen’s ankle, the little snake fiercely bit down.
Then…
it couldn’t bite through Wen Wen’s clothes!
Feeling something at his heel, Wen Wen was startled; he had not noticed the snake at all before!
He squatted down, curiously looking at the peculiar little snake.
After being discovered by Wen Wen, the little snake was not afraid at all and bit down again, but this time Wen Wen wouldn’t let it succeed.
He struck like lightning, directly grasping the snake by its vital spot and pulling it in front of him for a closer look.
In Wen Wen’s hands, the snake instantly changed its color to match Wen Wen’s skin.
If one didn’t know there was a snake there beforehand, they could easily be deceived.
“This little thing…
doesn’t seem very smart.”
With such a level of camouflaging ability, if it maintained a hit-and-run style, it could become a very dangerous creature.
However, this little snake continued to attack even after being discovered, which could be said to be foolish.
But Wen Wen didn’t think less of it.
If not for the Containment Officer uniform, he would have been bitten by the snake already.
What might have happened, nobody knows.
“Three eyes, this little thing does look quite unique.”
Wen Wen took a little stick, poked the small snake with it to check its gender, measured its length, and after he finished playing, the little snake was no longer as lively as it had been.
According to Wen Wen’s observations, aside from its color-changing ability and three eyes, this snake’s abilities were not much stronger than a normal snake’s.
Wen Wen could easily subdue it with a gentle squeeze, probably its killing feature was in its fangs.
With a slight effort from his right hand, the Catastrophe Gloves appeared.
He decided to confine this gift of a monster, not caring whether the monster was too weak; after all, he had so many cells he wasn’t worried about wasting any.
After the Catastrophe Gloves appeared, the previously struggling little snake immediately went limp, its three little eyes filled with fear as if terrified by the ominous Qi from the gloves.
Black chains emerged from the gloves, circled around the little snake a couple of times, and then retracted; while retracting, they swayed twice.
Wen Wen scratched his head, “Am I hallucinating, or did those chains just seem disdainful…
Bad luck, it’s another useless weakling.”
He searched around, found a small bag on a corpse, first removed the little snake’s two fangs, and then stuffed the snake into the bag, preventing it from coming out.
“Even if it’s trash, it shouldn’t be wasted.
Let’s see if something can be exchanged at the Hunters Association, or maybe raise it for a while. freēnovelkiss.com
Once this snake becomes stronger, I’ll throw it into the prison.”
Following the scent of monsters he had perceived earlier, Wen Wen walked in one direction.
