Chapter 743: Chapter 733 Cicada Ancestor

Aside from Wu Liugen, there was another matter that greatly concerned Wen Wen.

In the past few hours, there had consistently been "woah woah" cicada chirping sounds outside, with occasional flashes of blue light passing by the window.

Wen Wen quickly counted, and there had been at least five waves of cicadas passing by nearby.

While the number of cicadas had indeed increased, it had not reached this extent, so Wen Wen concluded that those creatures had set their sights on him.

If the target of the Blue Cicada Holy Envoy had previously been the Power of Faith on Wen Wen, they definitely would not easily give up.

As Wen Wen was deep in thought, his room’s door was abruptly kicked open, sparking a sudden flare of anger within him.

Anyone daring to kick his door had better be ready to find Three Cubs stuffed in their pants!

But when Wen Wen saw who had kicked the door, his anger turned into astonishment.

Standing in the doorway was Wu Liugen, who had disappeared for several hours.

However, Wu Liugen now looked almost like a completely different person.

His eyes were lifeless, his body emaciated, a foul stench emanating from him, and he even carried some sort of spiritual contamination!

Could it be that something had taken control of Wu Liugen after he had gone out?

No sooner had this thought crossed Wen Wen’s mind than Wu Liugen just collapsed on the floor.

His mouth moved slightly as if trying to say something.

Only when Wen Wen turned slightly to see his mouth did he understand what he was trying to say.

"I want to eat meat... pork knuckles, steak, drink cola or milk tea, anything... I’m, hungry!"

As a detective, reading lips was an essential skill.

...

Twenty minutes later, Wen Wen and a short, sturdy woman wearing ten nose and ear rings sat beside the Barrier Master.

The woman was an Upper Sequence Superpower User who had come with the Barrier Master and the ’nose and ear rings’ were not a mistake, but a distinctive style with five metal rings evenly distributed from the side of her nose through her cheek to her earlobe.

The three of them intently watched Wu Liugen, who sat in front of them wearing a tank top and shorts.

At that moment, Wu Liugen was holding a bone-in steak in his left hand and a preserved duck leg in his right.

In front of him was an array of foods and empty plates, his appetite astonishingly large.

If his eating manner could be described in words, it would be just four.

Big, sweeping bites!

As he ate more and more, his physique gradually returned to normal, becoming rosy-cheeked and bright-toothed.

"You folks have no idea, I was almost caught by that Catastrophic Creature."

Wu Liugen said, chewing on meat, his words obscured:

"Had it not been for my divine powers as a Buddha Master, spotting that guy’s position just in time, I might have been killed unaware."

"But the Buddha Master also acted rashly; guessing its presence, I should have just left. Seeing its body appear ghostly, as if it hardly existed in this world, I couldn’t resist opening my heavenly eye."

The Barrier Master listened to Wu Liugen’s description with a serious expression.

Though Wu Liugen spoke lightly, the intelligence he brought was crucial. Now that the specific coordinates of the Catastrophe-Level Monster were known, they could stop wandering blindly and take straightforward precautions.

At least paying extra attention to that direction was still manageable.

Furthermore, Wu Liugen, who could easily deal with the Blue Cicada Holy Envoy, must also possess the strength of True Order Rank. With such strength, he merely retreated from that enormous cicada, only to end up in this state.

This was even under the circumstances where the opponent was bound to the Cross. Had that giant cicada been free to move, there would have been no reason for Wu Liugen to survive.

This means that if there were only True Order strength, no matter how numerous, they couldn’t handle that giant cicada.

What Wen Wen cared about more, however, was Wu Liugen’s self-proclaimed title.

"Buddha Master"

This guy had always called himself "little monk," but now, having escaped from death, he finally revealed his true nature. It’s estimated that his hidden character is only slightly less vile than Wen Wen’s.

In the end, Wu Liugen balled three egg tarts together and stuffed them into his mouth contentedly, saying,

"However, the Buddha Master didn’t come out empty-handed. That thing crammed a lot of knowledge into my head, trying to corrupt or burst me. So, after the Buddha Master pulled through, I also gained some information about that guy."

"Its name is, RUA~glurp~Bu~rua."

Wen Wen, full of question marks, asked, "What’s that supposed to be?"

Wu Liugen gave an embarrassed cough and said, "Cough, that’s a transliteration. Its name can’t be pronounced using human speech, so that’s all I can say."

"Countless ages ago, it could move freely. Back then, it was called the Stealer of Faith, Azure Cicada, God of Contradiction, and... Cicada Ancestor!"

"Later, it provoked some big shot, so during its offspring’s gestation, it was ambushed, its body nailed to the towering Cross, and its strength greatly restricted. Hence, it was later known as the God of Bondage..."

Wu Liugen continued his narrative, while Tao Qingqing, utilizing the vampire’s speed, was busy recording everything important for Wen Wen.

After he finished narrating, Wen Wen looked at the ceiling.

"Pervasive Angel Maya Mi, and Cicada Ancestor, these must be the targets for these two occasions, right..."

Facing a Catastrophe Level creature, Wen Wen felt a trace of helplessness. With his strength, in such events, he could only go with the flow, merely a denominator.

"Anyway, I need to ’stir up a little trouble’; otherwise, it would be too boring."

As Wen Wen lamented, he surreptitiously grabbed Three Cubs and stuffed it into Wu Liugen’s trousers.

Wu Liugen had no particular reaction, but Three Cubs struggled out of the trousers and looked at Wen Wen, shocked.

"This guy must not be human; definitely not."

...

After the farce, the Barrier Master began making arrangements to send Wu Liugen to Xihong City.

Having seen the Cicada Ancestor’s true body, Wu Liugen might also be targeted by the Cicada Ancestor. With the Hunter Association’s power in Liaozhou City, it wasn’t enough to protect him.

Xihong City was under the Pervasive Angel’s territory, and those cicadas would likely avoid it.

For Wu Liugen, that place should be the safest for now.

And Wen Wen volunteered to escort Wu Liugen, preparing to go with him to Xihong City.

Because his situation wasn’t much better than Wu Liugen’s. Staying in Liaozhou City, he would probably continue to encounter attacks. Better to temporarily take refuge in Xihong City.

Thus, Wen Wen once again placed the steering wheel on the cloud, letting Three Cubs drive, carrying the three of them toward Xihong City.

Under comfortable conditions, this cloud could deliver Wen Wen and the others to Xihong City in just half an hour.

But just as they reached halfway, Wen Wen’s face changed. Soon after, he heard dense cicada chirping.

A swarm of at least fifty blue cicadas appeared on the horizon, their wings buzzing as they rapidly charged toward this cloud.
