Then Wen Wen took out a bottle of Other Shore Flower Potion and gave Du Kedan and the other two a simple treatment. The Supporters also started to take over the scene.
The two Demon Hunters killed by Conehead Dad will be cremated and solemnly buried, while the scar-faced Demon Hunter killed by the Tentacle Monsters was left with a pair of intact black gloves.
The world of Demon Hunters is cruel; one can succeed ten or a hundred times, but failing even once can have unbearable consequences.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive. Wen Wen walked up to Du Kedan, offered him a few words of comfort, and then said, "You can go to the Foundation’s base in Sihu City to recuperate. Leave the rest to me..."
Then Wen Wen went to check the cave beneath the River Willow Residence but did not find the employees or the owner of the original River Willow Residence. Only at the end of the deep pit did he discover a lot of bones.
Among these bones were human and animal bones; the flesh was stripped, serving some unknown purpose.
There were also some cultivation tanks; some contained half-developed giant mosquitoes and Tentacle Monsters.
It seems the creatures discovered earlier were cultivated this way. After some thought, Wen Wen took two sets of equipment and some materials, then destroyed everything else.
Wen Wen will keep some of the equipment and materials; there are talents in the Sanctuary who can tinker with these things. As for the rest, he plans to sell them to the Hunter Association.
Wen Wen is against mass-producing such evil creatures, but he will not abandon the research; necessary understanding is still required.
After leaving the cave, there was nothing more to investigate here. The River Willow Residence was directly sealed off, and once the demon problem is resolved, the cave will be filled in.
But whether there will be another River Willow Residence remains unknown.
As evening fell and the River Willow Residence was sealed off, a blaze of light descended from the sky, transforming into an old man with a spiraling head upon touching the ground. He was Drill-head Grandpa, Conehead Dad’s father!
Drill-head Grandpa is one of the thirteen members of the Abyss Eye, with power at the True Order Level!
He took in everything with his eyes, realized what had happened, and began to howl in deep sorrow. View the correct content at NovelHub
"Oh, my poor son, my poor grandson..."
"You did not die in vain; you contributed to the Pure White Lord’s descent. The Abyss Eye will remember your merits, and those who killed you will face the most terrifying revenge!"
After leaving the River Willow Residence, Wen Wen returned to the Foundation’s base first, finding Tao Qingqing researching some materials on the computer.
He then sat in the rocking chair and nonchalantly asked, "What have you found out?"
Tao Qingqing had a peculiar expression: "The reason for Kowei Group’s development in Sihu City is unclear. They purchased or leased some residential or small storefronts on the city’s outskirts, even vacant lands, yet haven’t invested in commercial development."
"It seems they are in a state of loss now, and their true purpose remains unknown."
"Additionally, the three people you saw today; one is Zhang Kewei, chairman of Kowei Group, and the other is his son, Zhang Jianda..."
Wen Wen paused his rocking: "Wait a minute, I’ve met Zhang Kewei; he doesn’t look like that and already has wrinkles buried in dirt..."
Wen Wen stopped mid-sentence, recalling that when he was a Demon Hunter in Furong River City, he had met Zhang Kewei with Jiao Xinlei. Back then, even though Zhang Kewei was elderly, there seemed to be a very strange power inside him.
That middle-aged man might indeed be Zhang Kewei, only now rejuvenated through some means.
The woman following Zhang Kewei should be Wang Qin, the retired Demon Hunter turned bodyguard, unexpectedly has also become youthful.
Wang Qin once thought highly of Wen Wen and helped him obtain a recommendation letter for the Ranger assessment from Ranger Bing He, leaving Wen Wen with a favorable impression of her.
If not for her, Wen Wen might not have become a Ranger so quickly.
A Demon Hunter following Zhang Kewei might mean Zhang Kewei is unproblematic and merely visiting Sihu City coincidentally.
However, out of caution, Wen Wen asked Tao Qingqing for all the locations Kowei Group purchased or leased and marked them on a map.
Wen Wen pondered over the map with a chin pinch, his eyes lit up, and he began crossing off addresses, connecting the remaining ones with lines, forming a large circle!
Encircling with their storefronts offers no profit, indicating definite issues in Kowei Group’s operations.
If Wen Wen hadn’t achieved a bit in Runes, he wouldn’t have been able to spot this circle among the cluttered addresses.
A circle is the foundation for most Rune Arrays and ritual ceremonies. Kowei Group must be planning something.
The question is whether there is a relation between them and the demons.
Wen Wen allowed his thoughts to drift, recalling Wang Qin’s ability to shoot light arrows.
This instantly connected everything.
Previously, Wen Wen didn’t suspect Wang Qin because her light arrows weren’t dark green, and her figure didn’t match the masked woman.
But now, Wang Qin is younger, and her aura slightly differs, explaining the familiar sensation Wen Wen felt with Hu Yanbing...
So it was Wang Qin who attacked Lin Huan and the others then!
Kowei Group is also connected to the Abyss Eye; perhaps the equipment in the underground cave was provided by Kowei Group to the Abyss Eye.
Although the equipment lacked labels, using the craftsmanship to compare with Kowei Group’s other devices might reveal some clues.
It could also be that the Abyss Eye was responsible for Zhang Kewei’s rejuvenation!
Moreover, Zhang Kewei was resting in Furong River City when the demons appeared!
All of this is speculation for now, but Wen Wen can easily verify the truth.
Wen Wen’s eyes were dim; Kowei Group is a colossal entity.
Though Kowei Group’s strength cannot compare to the Secret Organization, they significantly impact civilian life. If Wen Wen recklessly destroyed Kowei Group, it would inevitably cause social unrest.
Therefore, dealing with Kowei Group requires strategic planning to minimize the impact.
Suddenly, Wen Wen received a report that the Faceless Demon was attacked by a True Order Monster with a drill-head. If Illiyat hadn’t been there, the Foundation might have suffered severe losses.
However, due to Wen Wen’s prior warnings, the monster fell into a trap, failing to harm the Faceless Demon and nearly being surrounded and killed instead.
Wen Wen had a peculiar look: "Could there really be a Drill-head Grandpa..."
