Chapter 859: Chapter 859: The Ordinary Demon Hunter

Someone attacked Wen Li, which didn’t surprise Wen Wen.

But the issue was that the attackers were those two seemingly unremarkable Demon Hunters!

It wasn’t until they moved that Wen Wen realized the two people who had been beside him all along were anything but ordinary.

Both of them were powerful figures at the True Order Level!

This shocking realization plunged Wen Wen into a peculiar sense of absurdity.

He had encountered the two unremarkable Demon Hunters outside the Barren Forest. Every move Wen Wen made afterwards, these two shadowed him, even closer than Chu Wei.

Logically, with Wen Wen’s personality, even if a dung beetle followed him, he would unearth its secrets.

Yet throughout the entire process, he turned a blind eye to these two seemingly unremarkable Demon Hunters.

At most, he thought, ’Oh, they’re still following,’ a feeling like that.

When they met the Skeleton Mage, these two unleashed terrifying power for a moment, instantly killing the Upper Order Realm Skeleton Mage, but Wen Wen paid no attention.

Similar situations occurred many times. Once these two were exposed, Wen Wen realized that many previous details carried frightening inconsistencies.

If they intended to surprise attack Wen Wen, he might not have noticed anything unusual until after being struck.

Fortunately, these two were enemies of Wen Li, not his own enemies.

Judging by the expressions of Wu Liugen, Wen Li, and Chu Wei, it seemed they hadn’t noticed these two Demon Hunters either, thinking they were just insignificant extra characters.

One of these seemingly unremarkable Demon Hunters was a plain-looking man holding a curved black long knife.

The knife was very long, its handle resembling a twisted black tree branch, and the blade was clean and sharp with a special sheen.

Judging from the style of that knife, Wen Wen even suspected it was related to the Sanctuary, but the Sanctuary didn’t have any special impressions about the knife, so Wen Wen temporarily had no intention of snatching it.

This also indirectly indicated how unnoticeable the man with the knife was; the knife was more striking than him.

The other appearance was exaggerated; he wasn’t even human!

Its head was incredibly smooth, with shocking blue rings on its brown skin, and under its chin and arms, every part was covered with blue-dotted tentacles.

This was clearly a monster from the deep sea, seemingly a Blue Ring Octopus that had become sentient.

As for the plain-looking man, Wen Wen found it hard to imagine how such a sea creature followed him unnoticed for so long.

The unremarkable man shot forward within a few steps, raised his long knife, and slashed it down towards Wen Li.

Wen Li snorted coldly, his hand turning red, trying to catch the long knife.

"Not fast, lacking strength, amateur knife-wielding posture, embarrassingly weak among the True Order, such a True Order, I can fight ten!"

"...No, wait!"

Wen Li suddenly widened his eyes, retracting his hand, finding one of his fingers already severed, leaving a black knife mark in the air.

Wen Li’s hands, which could block Sun Shanxing’s butcher knife!

Moreover, in this domain, Wen Li’s strength should be elevated while the opponent’s strength should be suppressed.

"No, it wasn’t this man who cut my finger, it was that black twisted long knife. That knife is problematic!"

While Wen Li was shocked, the Blue Ring Octopus People struck too, tentacles silently reaching behind Wen Li attempting a surprise attack.

But Wen Li casually grabbed a tentacle, snapped it off, along with one of the Blue Ring Octopus People’s arms.

Wen Li soon found his hand’s actions became sluggish, and the skin started taking on a light blue hue, revealing that the tentacle was toxic!

Under the joint attack of these two, Wen Li almost instantly fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing these two inexplicable individuals could temporarily hold Wen Li, Wen Wen refrained from calling the Central Administrator, instead taking out a panacea and swallowing it, starting to recover his injuries.

At his current strength, the panacea couldn’t instantly heal his wounds; it needed some time to take effect, not even sufficient to restore Wen Wen to full health.

This was normal, as there was a limit to a panacea’s efficacy; lower-level superpower users or ordinary people could recover instantly because they weren’t strong enough.

At this moment, even a small piece of Wen Wen’s flesh contained energy surpassing that of lower-level superpower users.

Wen Li glared menacingly at these two suddenly appearing foes: "I don’t recall provoking you two; who exactly are you?"

"I am the Devout Chanter, you can call me Lan Huan." The Blue Ring Octopus People slightly bowed to Wen Li, "But who I am doesn’t matter; I’m just a humble servant wanting to take you to meet my master."

"Who is your master?" Wen Li asked in a deep voice.

"The great Ancient God slumbering in the deep sea... Ensook!"

When he uttered the name, each of Lan Huan’s tentacles danced wildly, his appearance enough to drive any ordinary person insane.

"Ensook... I haven’t provoked this Deity and have no intention of conflicting with Them."

Wen Li recalled seeing a massive Deity watching him during a battle in the Inner World, presumably this Ensook Lan Huan spoke of.

"Acknowledgment isn’t necessary; my task is to bring you back." The Devout Chanter Lan Huan said coldly.

Then Wen Li looked towards the other person: "What about you?"

The unremarkable man shrugged: "Don’t look at me, I’m just doing the job for pay, and this one paid a price to let me assist in capturing you."

This unremarkable man’s name was Jack, a common Western name.

Neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, neither handsome nor ugly, possessing common traits from various ethnicities, someone who blends into a crowd seamlessly.

He was the second child, with an older brother and a younger sister, and grew up as a marginal figure in the family, with every school exam, and every subject’s score, averaging the subject’s average score.

This wasn’t due to his calculations; his mind was plain and couldn’t achieve high-level calculations.

Later, by chance, he became a mercenary, always remaining the most average soldier.

Until one day on the battlefield, he discovered that everyone was fighting brutally but no one was noticing him!

He could escape without being caught, and even if he captured the enemy leader, he wouldn’t be rewarded—he completely lost his presence!

Afterwards, he became a transparent person; no one noticed him, he did whatever he wanted.

But the moment he crossed a street, a driver didn’t see him and knocked him over, and no one took him to the hospital, he realized this wasn’t a good thing.
