Chapter 611: Chapter 600: Fugitive Gathering

All the wrap-up work, Wen Wen did not participate, as he had been kidnapped right after the battle ended.

Yes... that’s right, kidnapped by the medical squad of the Hunters Association.

At that time, Wen Wen’s physical condition was nearing its limit, and any accident could have claimed his life, so he was forcefully taken for treatment.

Initially, Wen Wen had planned to return to the Sanctuary and switch to his Vampire Constitution, but with professional medical staff constantly watching him, he could find no opportunity.

Later, Wen Wen realized that his injuries were more than just external wounds that could be healed; he would most likely need a panacea to return to his original state after returning to the Sanctuary.

Although the treatment here at the Hunters Association was a bit longer, it could restore Wen Wen to his best condition, so he did not resist their kindness and accepted the treatment here.

After all, Wen Wen did not have many panacea pills, so it was better to save them...

What comforted Wen Wen was that Jin Kela taking action and turning the situation around had greatly satisfied Yin Hu and the others, laying a solid foundation for cooperation between the two parties, and ensuring that the Black Cross would not be refused help by the Hunters Association in the future.

Then there was the battle between Wen Wen and Xiuluman, which became one of Wen Wen’s legendary achievements, widely circulated among the Ranger community.

Since there were no visual records of the battle, the details depended solely on eyewitness accounts; there were plenty of Demon Hunters who told the truth, but wild rumors always had more of a market.

The most popular version now was that Wen Hu had shaken his massive frame, terrifying the True Order Monster so much that it didn’t dare to fight back and could only stand there and take the whipping...

In the week following the battle’s conclusion, the Association immediately dispatched personnel to track down those Sanctuary escapees.

They conducted a carpet-like search of the entire Southern Border Great Forest and found a secluded Underground Palace deep within the forest, with traces of long-term habitation. Judging from the residual energy waves, the monster that had lived there was very powerful!

Now that place was already emptied, all things had been moved out, leaving no valuable information or items, so the Hunters Association lost the trail of this newly discovered mysterious organization once again.

However, the Association had already shared all known information with several other districts, keeping an eye on this mysterious organization; wherever they appeared again, they would be monitored by the Hunters Association.

In the hospital room, Wen Wen was wrapped up like a white mummy, with Qiao Feiya, now wearing a suit of iron armor, standing in front of Wen Wen.

"I’ve received a new assignment, so the sparring we agreed on will have to wait until the next time we meet."

"Actually... it’s okay if we don’t spar." Wen Wen said with little confidence.

After seeing the move ’Sword Qi Burst Stream’, Wen Wen knew he was no match for Qiao Feiya for the time being, unless he could freely use the sword technique taught to him by Xun Ying.

"If it wasn’t for your assistance this time, I might not have been able to hold out until we found that tigress, so I accept you as a friend,"

"Friend, you mean from now on we’re friends?"

Qiao Feiya’s voice was somewhat unsteady, a departure from her usual demeanor, which could be considered a lapse.

"Er... Considering the situation at that time, it’s not wrong to consider you a friend for offering help," Wen Wen asked somewhat puzzled.

"That’s not wrong... well, I’ll be going now." Qiao Feiya turned to leave in a bit of a flurry, her mouth carrying an irrepressible smile.

Since her childhood, Qiao Feiya had undergone isolated training at home, a period during which she felt very lonely; consequently, once she started interacting with other people, she continuously sought friendship.

But for some reason, most people who interacted with her either respected or feared her, keeping their distance in reverence. Because of that, she had many acquaintances, but not a single true friend to this day.

The only person who openly called her a friend was Wen Wen.

Watching Qiao Feiya’s receding figure, Wen Wen puzzledly scratched his chin, "Why did she react so strongly to the word ’friend’? I was just being polite..."

Before becoming a superpower user, Wen Wen actually didn’t have a true friend, but for the sake of his detective business, he could slap backs and call anyone a friend.

After some reflection, Wen Wen realized what was happening, their definitions of ’friend’ were not the same, and Qiao Feiya must be very serious about it, so Wen Wen couldn’t let her misunderstand his intentions.

After thinking it over, he shouted toward Qiao Feiya, "By the way, you have a nice figure, don’t always wear heavy armor. If you become flat-chested, we’re no longer friends."

Qiao Feiya, initially smiling, suddenly had a downturned mouth, turning to glare at Wen Wen, now unsure whether to be angry or touched.

Watching Qiao Feiya stomp away, Wen Wen smiled to himself and said, "That’s better."

...

In the South Capital District, on an uninhabited island, hundreds of varied monsters were sitting in a circle.

Each monster possessed a strong aura; the weakest among them were Middle Order Monsters, but there were over ten True Order Monsters!

A figure in a white robe sat cross-legged in mid-air, a pure white halo behind him, and judging by the other monsters’ demeanor, he was their leader.

Death Knight Xiuluman and three other monsters stood among them, detailing the specifics of their recent operation.

"Aker Aru was captured back into the Sanctuary, the Monster Tail Monkey was killed by a Demon Hunter, the Sanctuary has reappeared, but it no longer has its former strength..."

"This concludes the full account of our recent operation. For future actions, we must look to the Guide for direction."

The mysterious person in the white robe, referred to as the Guide by the Death Knight, was revered by these hundreds of monsters.

His strength was infinitely close to the Catastrophe Level, and it was indeed he who had helped the monsters escape from the Sanctuary in the first place!

The Guide pondered for a moment, then said gently, "It seems the Sanctuary has indeed been revived, Jin Kela has only True Order Level strength left, the others are probably the same..."

"This shows that we are now stronger than the Sanctuary. If we can find it before it grows stronger, we might be able to... completely destroy the Sanctuary!"

The Death Knight asked solemnly, "How can we locate the Sanctuary?"

The Guide smiled and said, "The Sanctuary is not in a fixed location, but exists within a special independent space that might be housed within an object or a person. What we need to do is to find that object, or that person!"

"The headquarters has already been discovered by the Hunters Association. Before the new headquarters is established, I ask everyone to scatter around the world and trace the Containment Officer’s whereabouts."

"I’m sure none of you wish to return to the Sanctuary. Hiding is of no use; what we must do is to strike first!"
