Hunting Supernatural Beings

Zhong Cheng was completely stunned when he heard the name "Da Zhong". It was so new, no one had ever called his sister that before!

As for Zhong Qing's delicate face, it was expressionless and seemed very calm, but her slender fingers were clenched together, betraying her outward tranquility.

"This head-mounted, openwork Protective Gear extraordinary properties. You can send it to your Zhong family for research. I believe that if it can be reverse-engineered, it might trigger some kind of revolution. All I need are some special scriptures, and I hope..." Wang Xuan began.

His abrupt change of topic surprised Zhong Cheng, making him feel somewhat uneasy.

He had assumed there was some complicated relationship between Wang Xuan and her sister, but Little Wang calmly discussed the collaboration.

"By the way, do you still have this kind of protective gear? I mean, gear to protect the arms, calves, and other parts. Do you still have this style?" Wang Xuan pointed to the steel plate that had been returned.

"I'm serious, I didn't mean anything by it," Wang Xuan explained.

Finally, Little Zhong actually managed to remove two thin, spiked steel plates from his arm!

Zhong Cheng's eyes widened in surprise; this spendthrift woman was truly extravagant!

"I'll give you some more bottles and jars in exchange for these two steel plates to use temporarily." Wang Xuan took out some of the spoils and told them that they were found on dead people and that they needed to be carefully verified and tested to find out what they were used for.

He fixed two thin steel plates to his arm.

He always felt that the man who jumped into the river wouldn't die; after all, having mastered the Vajra Art, the monsters in the water probably couldn't kill him.

If this person returns to the team and tells those people about his situation in detail, then hopefully there will be a "surprise" when they meet again.

"Be careful yourselves." Wang Xuan turned and left.

Zhong Cheng muttered to himself, "This guy is getting more and more confident. What is he going to do all by himself?"

Then he whispered, "Sis, he was just flattering you. Were you pretending to be calm and not saying anything?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Qing immediately wanted to pick up a steel plate and smash it against him, saying, "I'm so angry with him!"

Suddenly, Zhong Qing narrowed her beautiful eyes, picked up the steel plate that Wang Xuan had returned, and examined it carefully in the sunlight.

She saw blood!

Despite being treated, traces can still be found when held up to the sun, with almost invisible traces of blood, whereas a poisonous bee's sting will not bleed!

"Sister, what are you looking at?" Zhong Cheng asked.

"What smell does the steel plate have?" Little Zhong gestured for him to smell it.

"What else could it taste like? A man's smell. Sis, you can't be serious, you've really fallen for Little Wang? I was even thinking of introducing you to Old Wang, a grandmaster in his early twenties who's destined for greatness! Ah... stop!"

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Wang Xuan chose to turn his back on the direction the New Star Explorers fled, leaving behind clear footprints typical of someone of his caliber.

Most importantly, he took the two men and women he had killed with him and left them on the road, several miles apart.

This is a provocation, an open declaration to those people of the path he has taken, "Come on!"

He wandered around in the woods, making a huge circle, before charging towards the group of people!

If that group has already set off, then you're just following them in circles.

If that group hasn't set off yet, then he'll join in, see what extraordinary herbs are there, and act accordingly.

That group of people wasn't hard to find, because the three top experts left too many traces when they tracked them down.

Great Grandmaster's stride covers at least ten meters, and his running speed is so fast that it shatters the ground.

An hour later, he traversed mountains and valleys, crossed a swamp, and discovered the group's trail.

This group is incredibly audacious. They want to collect rare items near the extraordinary lair. Are they trying to provoke an extraordinary monster?

The surrounding area was lush with vegetation and dense forests, but the place where the monster lived was barren and desolate.

There was a cave there, with a patch of fiery red vines growing on the cave walls, the only sign of life, bearing several clusters of reddish-purple fruits, whose faint fragrance could be smelled from afar.

Wang Xuan's expression turned strange. This monster was incredibly patient! It was guarding the extraordinary medicinal herb, not eating it itself, but letting it rot away?

Or is it that it has been eating this fruit year after year and is already tired of it?

Then he saw that extraordinary monster, which resembled a snake but was not a snake.

It is very thick, with a diameter of more than four meters, but its length is disproportionate to its thickness, measuring about fifteen meters in length, and its body is covered with large, bluish-green scales.

Overall, it looks partly like a snake, and also like a large blue silkworm.

It looked clumsy, but moved like the wind. Not long after it went out, it brought back two bears from the nearby forest, each more than three meters long.

It held those two huge, long-haired bears in its mouth, but it looked like it was biting two small mice.

The two bears were still alive. After being thrown at the entrance of the cave, two smaller superhuman cubs rushed out. Their waist diameter was about two meters and their body length was about seven or eight meters.

Amidst the pitiful screams of the "live prey," the two cubs each swallowed a long-haired bear whole, much like snakes in their eating habits.

After finishing their Blood Food, the two cubs were very cautious. Each of them found a cluster of purplish-red fruits on the fiery red vines. They were very restrained and did not swallow them all at once. Instead, each of them used their tongues to roll off only one red fruit.

Wang Xuan understood that the extraordinary herbs hadn't been eaten up by the giant snake, but were saved for the cubs to grow.

This kind of monster eats extraordinary herbs from a young age, so it's impossible for it not to become powerful when it grows up.

Those people want to steal the herbs from this extraordinary lair? They're insane!

Wang Xuan didn't think these extraordinary beasts were easy to deal with; one wrong move and they could all be wiped out.

He didn't dare use his mental domain, fearing he would be captured by the extraordinary serpent. Instead, he kept a distance between the two mountain peaks, observing everything there with his keen eyesight.

Wang Xuan approached the group of people, wanting to see what they were planning to do.

He hid in the shadows and observed carefully.

Soon, he learned a shocking fact: this group of people not only wanted to harvest the extraordinary medicine, but also wanted to hunt that extraordinary monster!

This is absolutely insane!

Even if they were top-tier Great Grandmaster, they still wouldn't be a match for that monster even if they joined forces.

Wang Xuan dared not approach, nor did he recklessly use his spiritual domain, fearing he would be detected. He merely probed out wisps of his spiritual energy from afar, capturing some key words.

It took him a long time to get a general understanding of the situation.

These people don't agree on anything and have already come up with several different plans, so they haven't taken any action yet.

Finally, they planned to lure the monster to a special place. If successful, they could not only obtain extraordinary herbs but also hunt down an extraordinary monster.

From their conversation, Wang Xuan learned that this monster was called the Silkworm Snake, which indeed matched its appearance.

He left shortly afterward, searching the vicinity for that peculiar place.

It was a place shrouded in mist, and as soon as he got close, his hair stood on end.

The sun is shining brightly in the sky, but this area is peculiar, shrouded in thick fog, giving it an air of mystery.

Moreover, as Wang Xuan walked around this special area, he discovered an even more shocking fact.

Including the Silkworm Snake, there are a total of eight extraordinary monsters nesting around the Misty Realm Area, distributed around it!

Are these people playing with fire? Daring to cause trouble in a region teeming with supernatural monsters could lead to utter ruin.

No wonder they hesitated to act, repeatedly exploring the terrain; they were making thorough preparations and also searching for the best escape route.

Wang Xuan also took it seriously, leaving his footprints all over the area to find the corresponding escape routes in case of various accidents.

That's right, he's also planning to participate!

However, he wasn't targeting the strange snake; he was planning to intercept the group.

When Wang Xuan returned to the mountain where the Silkworm Snake was, he found a familiar face. The man who had jumped into the river was indeed alive and had returned.

However, he was covered in blood, clearly having encountered an extremely terrifying monster in the river, narrowly escaping death, and finally reuniting with these people.

A group of people were very excited. Some were holding machetes, some were pointing to the sky, and they were saying tough things!

Sure enough, Wang Xuan used his mental domain to capture a few keywords and immediately understood that they wanted revenge.

They remained arrogant, contemptuously calling the New Star "barbarians," uncivilized, and destined to be wiped out in blood!

They regretted it. They had initially worried that the person with abnormal mental strength was a semi-transcendent expert, so they retreated first, intending to ambush him in the dead of night.

"These natives must all die!"

Ultimately, their words boiled down to this one sentence.

They gradually calmed down and prepared to hunt down the native with abnormal mental strength after obtaining the miraculous medicine.

"Don't attack his chest and back; he's wearing hedgehog armor made of rare mithril!" the man who had escaped warned, suggesting they attack the native's limbs and head instead.

Finally, they began setting up again, preparing to hunt the Supernatural Being.

"Are we really going to hunt that adult Silkworm Snake? It's quite terrifying."

"If it doesn't die, even if we manage to harvest the rare medicine, it will relentlessly pursue us for thousands of miles and fight us to the death. We have no choice but to kill it first."

Wang Xuan understood how they would deal with the Silkworm Snake.

The bottles and jars they carried were all carefully selected; some contained potions to lure extraordinary monsters, especially snake-attracting potions, and others that could temporarily drive monsters mad...

Wang Xuan was alarmed. That group of people had studied the habits of various monsters and were so familiar with them. Their planet's Supernatural Civilization was indeed very advanced.

Moreover, this group of people were not entirely unfamiliar with the secret place, as if they had the experience and advice of their predecessors.

At the very least, this group of people knew about that Misty Realm, mentioning it several times in their conversations. They said their elders had warned them that it was extremely terrifying!

"What a pity, no one can get through it. It might be a secret route!" someone lamented.

Wang Xuan naturally couldn't understand their language, and even when he tried to grasp their thoughts through the spiritual realm, he still didn't know the meaning of some of the terms.

However, after careful consideration and combining his thoughts with those before and after, he was shocked to learn that those people might be discussing the secret path of the Old Arts!

Moreover, he heard the word "passing away" in the keywords of that Misty Realm, which he couldn't understand for a moment.

Those people finally finished setting up. Starting from the Misty Realm and moving to the place where the Silkworm Snake lived, many important locations along the way were sprayed with the medicine.

They are about to drive the snakes to that terrifying place and use the power of "Death" to kill the extraordinary monster!

Wang Xuan was even more nervous than them. After all, they not only had to guard against the supernatural monsters, but also planned to intercept this group of people, so there were many more aspects to pay attention to.

If things go wrong, he could be the first to die.

Thump!

In the distance, a startling commotion arose; those people had launched their attack!

Hundreds of kilograms of rocks crashed near the snake den, and some ferocious beasts were driven away not far away. Some captured monsters screamed as they were released back into the wild by those people.

The Silkworm Snake is very ferocious, and its territory is not to be disturbed. Now, it rushed out with a whoosh and disappeared into the forest.

"It's done! It's been affected. The medicine we brought really worked!"

"Quickly, go and gather extraordinary medicinal herbs!"

Someone moved. It was a woman, as swift and agile as a wisp of smoke, rushing from the mountains and forests toward the extraordinary nest.

Upon approaching, she quickly picked two large bunches of reddish-purple fruit, which smelled wonderful.

Several large bunches of fiery red vines remained, but the two extraordinary young beasts in the cave became enraged and rushed out to intercept and kill her.

"Oh no, they're no longer cubs; they all have the power of Great Grandmaster!" the woman exclaimed.

She didn't dare pick any other fruit and turned to run away.

Two people in the mountains were there to meet her. After hearing the message, they glanced in the direction the adult Silkworm Snake had gone and were sure it had gone mad and was about to disappear into the Misty Realm. They rushed towards the extraordinary nest together.

The two confronted the immature Silkworm Snake, launching a fierce attack. They not only wanted to stop the snakes from chasing the woman, but also wanted to kill them so they could harvest the remaining strings of extraordinary fruits.

The woman ran away without looking back; her mission was complete, and bringing back these two strings of rare medicines made her trip worthwhile.

At this moment, Wang Xuan made his move. He snatched the prize from the hands of someone he was destined to become a mortal enemy. He felt no psychological burden at all; on the contrary, he was very excited.

He came from the mountains and forests, approaching silently from behind, and slashed at the woman with his sword.

"Damn it, that scoundrel actually followed us!" The man, whose hands had been pierced with twenty-two bloody holes and who had been forced to jump into the river, shouted out, his eyes turning red.

He was especially enraged when he saw Wang Xuan wearing a hollowed-out Protective Gear and strange black and gold clothing.

In fact, the others were also furious when they saw this scene. How dare that native come here to provoke them? Was he looking for death?!

Wang Xuan launched a surprise attack, and his first move was quite successful.

Although he was unable to behead the woman directly from behind, he did manage to strike her left shoulder, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

The short sword was too sharp; although it only grazed her, it cut into part of her shoulder blade, causing her excruciating pain.

Her left arm trembled, and the string of extraordinary medicines in her hand fell to the ground.

Wang Xuan seized the opportunity and snatched it away, successfully intercepting the first string of extraordinary fruits!

The woman was shocked and furious. At such a critical moment, someone had attacked and killed her, causing her to lose half of the precious medicine. How could she tolerate this?

She fought desperately, her palm strikes like rainbows, slashing towards Wang Xuan.

"Don't hit him in the chest or back!" the man who had jumped over the river shouted from a distance.
