Chapter 359: Chapter 357: Capsizing in the Gutter

It wasn’t that Rodney was a coward, but Wen Wen’s manner of appearance was too horrifying, catching him completely off guard, especially with those eyes that seemed intent on claiming him, which were exceedingly vicious.

In fact, aside from those monsters that had already lost their reason, normal monsters also experienced happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy, and could be frightened by certain things, though what scared them might be different from what scared ordinary people.

And Rodney, terrified to the point where his tentacles convulsed, was far from the worst off; the family of three aside from Zhao Fei was even less able to cope. The woman fainted from fright, the man took off running, and the child sat on the ground, crying incessantly.

Wen Wen didn’t want to escalate the situation, so he leaped down like a large bird, swiftly knocking the child unconscious, then grabbed a chair and threw it at the man, knocking him out as well.

Seeing how decisively Wen Wen handled the two people, Rodney grew even more frightened, "You, you... when did you get here!"

He stuttered when he said "you," but quickly regained his composure, after all, he was a monster with mental abilities, and wouldn’t allow himself to remain frightened for long.

Wen Wen curled the corners of his mouth, slowly walking towards Rodney, "At the time when you thought there were only four people in this house."

Rodney’s eyes darted around before he pressed a button-like device on his ear and spoke rapidly, "Lady Matilda, the suspect who’s obstructing the Human Demon Embryo plan has been found, right in the home of Human Demon Embryo number seven."

"Dressed in a black overcoat, wearing a Great Cloak, his smile is very scary. Based on his actions, it is inferred that he is a member of an opposing Secret Organization... It’s possible he’s from Profane Blood!"

Wen Wen pulled out a small mirror to look at his own face, saying speechlessly, "Are you mistaken? Do I look that handsome and dashing to be mistaken for a lunatic from Profane Blood?"

Soon, another voice came from the button, "Delay him, I’ll be there shortly to deal with him, the others continue to recall all Human Demon Embryos!"

"Matilda? The others? Recalling Human Demon Embryos?"

Although the voice was faint, Wen Wen still heard it, and just that one sentence revealed to Wen Wen a lot of information.

While Wen Wen was pondering the meaning of that sentence, Rodney’s eyes emitted a strange purple glow, causing Wen Wen’s thoughts to stall momentarily. In the next few moments, several tentacles extended from Rodney’s hands, feet, and chin, binding Wen Wen.

Immediately afterward, Rodney hurled a throwing knife at Wen Wen’s chest. The great strength in his tentacles, which could crush a boulder, was sufficient to pierce through an ordinary person, and Wen Wen, still dazed, made no attempt to resist, yet he was completely unharmed.

After employing the miraculous Itch-Scratching Spell, every inch of Wen Wen’s skin had become harder than steel, and his body feared neither the tentacles’ strength surpassing that of giant pythons.

Still, when Wen Wen instantly returned to his senses, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger, violently bursting through those tentacles under Rodney’s horrified gaze.

He never expected that after battling so many strong opponents, he would be nearly tricked by this mere potato squid monster. The technique Rodney used to bewilder Wen Wen was somewhat similar to that of the female ghost Wen Wen had captured before, but the intensity of the Mental Shock was much stronger.

"A Mental Attack? Very good, from now on it belongs to me!"

Wen Wen grabbed a slimy tentacle with his left hand and pulled Rodney right to his side, punching him in his potato-shaped face and sending him flying. Yet the resilient tentacle snapped Rodney back for another punch square on his numb face.

After a few back-and-forth punches, Rodney was already dizzy. Fighting the vertigo, he cut off his own tentacle and while fleeing, he pressed a button and said, "New intel, the target has at least Disaster Level strength and is extremely brutal, please come support..."

Unfortunately, before he could finish, Wen Wen grabbed him back by the collar, pinned him to the ground with his foot on Rodney’s chest, rendering him immovable.

With both hands gripping the Staff of Frenzy, Wen Wen sneered at him and said, "I, Wen Wen, am never petty. I won’t retaliate just because I suffered a minor setback. I hit you simply because you’re ugly."

After saying that, he swung the staff as if playing golf on Rodney’s head. The tremendous force almost knocked Rodney out, but Wen Wen didn’t stop for a moment, relentlessly attacking Rodney with the Chaotic Mantle Staff Technique.

Well, the so-called Chaotic Mantle Staff Technique was really just wildly beating someone with a staff...

Only after Rodney completely lost consciousness did Wen Wen’s anger subside. He then dragged Rodney into the Sanctuary.

Even though he had successfully subdued Rodney, Wen Wen was still not in a good mood. The minor setback he just had with Rodney made Wen Wen realize that he had become a bit too arrogant lately.

Consecutive fights and victories against Disaster Level monsters had made him underestimate Disaster Level ones, which is a deadly attitude in the world of superpower users!

It’s possible that there could be a Disaster Level monster with a complete counter to his abilities. A lapse in caution then could cost him his life.

After some quick reflection, Wen Wen immediately picked up his phone and called Wang Junyi.

He clearly remembered Rodney’s button-pressed conversation with someone outside, the person said they were gathering Human Demon Embryos and that they were coming to deal with him.

Even after Rodney reported his strength, the other party did not retreat, which meant they were confident in their ability to gang up on and defeat an ordinary Disaster Level superpower user.

Moreover, under such circumstances, they still had the spare capacity to gather the Human Demon Embryos, the number of which was unknown. Although Wen Wen was not afraid of them, there was no need to foolishly wait for them to come after him.

Most importantly, a latent Human Demon Embryo like Zhao Fei attracted a Disaster Level Demon to personally retrieve him. That meant that at Wang Zixuan’s place, there was at least one Demon present, or perhaps even someone stronger had been sent because Wen Wen had cured Wang Zixuan.

So Wen Wen needed to get back quickly. Even with Three Cubs there, he was still worried that Wang Junyi and his wife might suffer retaliation from the Demon.

By the time Wen Wen emerged from Wang Junyi’s phone, the Demon sent to fetch Wang Zixuan had already arrived downstairs. Wen Wen looked down from above and saw that he had come in an ordinary white sedan.

Wen Wen muttered to himself, "That potato-headed octopus also drove a car and arrived at Zhao Fei’s house first. If all the Demons set out from one place, then considering the time difference and their driving speed, I could roughly estimate a vague location!"

After finishing his thought, Wen Wen shook his head, "No, the range inferred from that is too large. Relying on just me, it would be impossible to complete the search in a short time."
