Chapter 478: Chapter 476: The Stalker

Qin Shuang’s hatching took too long, and Wen Wen had already grown somewhat impatient.

Therefore, the moment he hatched, Wen Wen wanted to enter the Sanctuary to see what surprising changes Qin Shuang had undergone.

But just as he was about to enter, he suddenly felt somewhat uneasy.

It seemed as if something bad would happen the moment he entered the Sanctuary!

This feeling was similar to what he had experienced in the mental hospital in the Inner World, although much less intense.

"I can enter the Sanctuary, but there could be risks involved... What kind of risks could be here, this isn’t like the mental hospital with its special space..."

Under the threat of this risk, Wen Wen immediately put Qin Shuang out of his mind and focused on figuring out why he felt alarmed.

Qin Shuang’s abilities could be observed anytime, but if any danger occurred now, there might no longer be a chance to observe Qin Shuang’s abilities.

He spread out his senses, searching every inch of the nearby land, and finally concluded that this place was just like the Qi Ling Mountain Range he had originally visited.

So the problem might not be in this place, but rather with something else.

After some thinking, Wen Wen grabbed the Custodian Badge, and a miniature image appeared before his eyes.

Upon seeing this image, Wen Wen felt a tightness in his chest, as there was a blurry shadow watching him within the image.

The energy aura carried by this shadow far exceeded Wen Wen’s, even far surpassing the combined strength of all the superpower users at this intersection.

"It must be at least Disaster True Sequence, there’s a True-order Master watching me in secret!"

Normally, even if Wen Wen suddenly disappeared in front of a Disaster True Sequence, they would have no ability to spot flaws in the Sanctuary.

But the message from the Sanctuary clearly told him that if he entered now, some variations might occur.

"With such strength, if they were an enemy, they would have executed me on the spot, they wouldn’t be secretly watching me. I’m guessing they are probably from the Investigators..."

"Having such a high-level master watching me, they probably suspect my association with Black Cross... Maybe my being transferred here has something to do with them."

"Perhaps they want to verify some speculations by observing my actions here, so I am going to act like a regular Ranger."

So, Wen Wen continued studying Advanced Rune Analysis, and he was determined not to enter the Sanctuary within this line of sight; he didn’t believe this person would keep watching him forever.

Afterward, Wen Wen pretended to be unbothered and went about various activities, including but not limited to eating, urinating, picking his feet...

What impressed Wen Wen was that despite his actions, the watcher continued to keep a close eye on him, seemingly unafraid of getting a sty.

The second day of surveillance went very smoothly, Wen Wen and the Flame Sparrow took turns sitting on that bench, and they did not let out a single monster.

That person kept watching him, making him feel very uncomfortable, but by the evening of the second day, things started to look ominous.

A cloud, about tens of meters in diameter, slowly drifted over, making Wen Wen and the others feel as though they were facing a great enemy.

This cloud carried the aura of the Disaster Upper Order!

However, the cloud seemed to have no intention of blasting out of the Qi Ling Mountain; it simply floated leisurely in the sky, and at this pace, it would leave the area in a few minutes.

As it floated near the intersection, a dragon’s head peeked out, glanced at Wen Wen and the others, and then quickly withdrew.

It was not interested in leaving the Qi Ling Mountain Range, preferring to romp freely here.

But just a few dozen meters after it floated out, it stretched its claw and tapped its forehead, realizing it had seen a familiar face among those people!

It was the one it had wanted to catch and play with but had mysteriously disappeared!

Hence, the cloud, which had resembled cotton candy, transformed instantaneously into a black thundercloud, with streaks of blue electricity flashing, and its long body weaving through the clouds.

Wen Wen’s expression darkened, this creature was indeed the Catastrophic Dragon he had encountered before. How could he have run into it here?

The Catastrophic Dragon circled in the sky, and then from within the thundercloud, it began to unleash torrents of lightning towards Wen Wen.

The power of the lightning was formidable, and the attacks were area-wide. Although Wen Wen was the target, a large surrounding area was also affected by the attack.

If he did not come up with a countermeasure, all the nearby Supporters would surely die under this lightning.

So Wen Wen sighed and decided to withstand the lightning attacks.

He pulled out a shield painted with a target, the Target Eye Shield, which would cause any attacks by the enemy to involuntarily strike the center of the shield.

The moment the shield was out, the lightning, as if possessed, coursed towards Wen Wen and struck the shield.

Even with the shield, Wen Wen was somewhat overwhelmed.

Thus, he could only manipulate his black hair to grow wildly, all plunging into the ground, and with a complex gesture of his left hand, he directed the lightning along the hair into the earth.

After the first wave of lightning ended, faint sparks of electric fire could be seen on Wen Wen’s body, but it was no big deal.

"If I had not specifically studied the ’Book of Thunder’ before, thinking of eating up this attack with just a shield and remaining unharmed would be utterly delusional..."

It was known that the Catastrophic Dragon’s attack was a group attack, and Wen Wen pulling out the shield was akin to concentrating all the power of this group attack onto himself alone.

However, the Catastrophic Dragon’s attack allowed Wen Wen to gain a deeper understanding of lightning, which was somewhat beneficial.

While Wen Wen was resisting the lightning, a fireball emitting thick smoke was thrown into the midst of the thundercloud and exploded loudly, followed closely by numerous tentacles. It was Flame Sparrow and Gong Baoding making their move.

These attacks all quietly disappeared into the thundercloud, and it was uncertain whether the Catastrophic Dragon was injured, but one thing was sure—it was enraged.

A resounding dragon cry emitted, and inside the thundercloud, a more potent attack began brewing, an attack that definitely could not be blocked by Wen Wen’s shield alone!

The color drained from Lin Zheyuan’s face. This Catastrophic Dragon had the strength of the Disaster Upper Order; if it came down to fight them in close combat, the three of them together might not be able to hold it off.

But it hid in the clouds, manipulating natural forces to attack, while Wen Wen and the two others could only passively receive its attacks, and the opponent was not even slightly worn out.

Wen Wen, without changing his expression, reached into his cloak. He still had plenty of explosives; if used properly, he should be able to blow that cloud apart...

But Wen Wen never got the chance to use those explosives, for the Catastrophic Dragon in the sky suddenly stopped building up power, and the thundercloud instantly turned back into a white cloud.

The head of the Catastrophic Dragon stretched out, gave Wen Wen a fierce look, and then twisted and flew away as if in a huff.

Wen Wen breathed a sigh of relief, "That monster didn’t need to retreat; it must have been scared off by the presence of the guy who has been keeping an eye on me. To think the Hunters’ Association sent someone to tail me, I must be really important..."
