CHAPTER 1014: CHAPTER 1016: SILENT PROPHET

From a distance, the Hot Spring Lake is surrounded by rising mist. Up close, you can see the surface of the lake has a slight red tint, with clear water and some colorful fish swimming inside.

These fish are as large as koi and as small as shrimp, with big heads, long fins, long tails, and semi-transparent bodies.

The Wanderer tested the water temperature, then jumped right in, floating comfortably on the surface. Wen Wen watched him for a while, noticing the water around him remained quite clear, and finally relaxed.

This guy just looks dirty; otherwise, the water would have turned murky as soon as he jumped in.

With the Wanderer as a role model, everyone else jumped into the water like a bunch of dumplings. Miao Xinyi squatted by the lake and dipped her finger in but quickly pulled it out.

"These guys aren’t afraid of the heat? As expected, superpower users are different."

Ye Wen tested the water temperature with her foot, then gracefully stepped into the lake, her elegant movements catching the eyes of several men.

Though she was an ice attribute superpower user, she did not mind the high temperature of the hot spring.

Tao Qingqing, wearing a blue swimsuit, also entered the water near Ye Wen, using her feminine charm to get close to her.

For most girls, Ye Wen was absolutely beautiful, and she didn’t provoke jealousy.

Wen Wen found a good spot, tossed in his rocking chair, and lay down, gently swaying.

The proprietress wasn’t exaggerating. As soon as Wen Wen got comfortable, he could feel the effects. For Wen Wen, the water temperature didn’t matter; even boiling water could be used for a refresh. However, the special energy in the water made him feel refreshed.

This strength seeped into Wen Wen’s body, slowly relieving his fatigue, making even him feel comfortable here.

Though he felt comfortable, others might not. A few Assimilation Realm superpower users could soak here calmly, while Li Natuo, Ye Wen, and Lin Zheyuan were close to moaning in pleasure.

The special energy here had the best effects on these superpower users in the Lower and Middle Sequence.

As for the superpower users below Assimilation, they couldn’t handle it; just the water temperature alone was enough for them. Not every superpower user could withstand an egg-boiling high temperature.

Soon, over a dozen people, with flushed faces, walked out, not from embarrassment but from being boiled by the water.

The remaining people resisted the invasion of this exotic energy, the stronger the resistance, the longer they could resist. While they struggled to endure, Wen Wen left his rocking chair and began freestyle swimming.

Within an hour, they all successively left the Hot Spring Lake; that was their limit.

However, even this brief hour-long journey to the Hot Spring Lake would bring them great benefits.

Three Cubs swam in the lake, suddenly biting a foot-long big fish. After two bites, it spat it out and began to retch.

These fish might look nice, but their taste... is only slightly better than raw meat.

Once all the superpower users below Assimilation had left, the Wanderer spoke up: "Let’s not beat around the bush, Great Detective guide... our trip this time doesn’t seem that simple, does it?"

Sifumo remained silent. Those with sufficient strength on this journey could see there was something amiss.

"Not that simple? Does the hotel offer other services?" Li Natuo asked, confused.

Ye Wen rolled her eyes, thinking this guy’s head is full of muscle.

Wen Wen did the breaststroke on the side, not getting involved in the conversation, while Tao Qingqing was already linking arms with Ye Wen. Some actions made Ye Wen’s face slightly red, though less noticeable in the hot springs.

"Since Mr. Wanderer brought the matter to light, I’ll speak openly. Indeed, I came with a mission; there is intelligence suggesting that something will appear among the tour group."

"I don’t know who has it, what form it is in now, how and when it will appear, but it is certain to appear."

"Because it was predicted by the Supreme Containment—Silent Prophet."

"Silent Prophet..." The Wanderer paused. Unlike ordinary Demon Hunters, his years of demon hunting had made him quite knowledgeable.

The so-called Silent Prophet is one of the Supreme Containment of the Hunter Association, possessing abilities that surpass typical Catastrophe Level in certain aspects.

The Silent Prophet is a blond Caucasian, appearing to be a male between thirty and forty-five, with his limbs bound by spiked restraints, hanging like a cocoon beneath an oak tree.

The area around the Silent Prophet is an absolute silent zone within a ten-kilometer radius, and his mouth is also bound, preventing him from speaking any words.

The Silent Prophet knows everything that is about to happen in the future, and by paying a certain price, one can ask him questions. But the responses are always somewhat vague, and without external interference, the information has an accuracy of over ninety percent.

With each question, the bindings on the Silent Prophet loosen slightly. For the Hunter Association to use the Silent Prophet to find something, it must be something very important.

And yet, they sent Sifumo, with only Upper Sequence strength, to find such a thing?

Seeing the Wanderer’s gaze, Sifumo gave a wry smile: "In fact, the Silent Prophet’s prophecy includes my presence. Also, I’m particularly good at such matters, which is why I’m leading this."

Though Ye Wen is Ye Haimo’s daughter, she didn’t know about the Silent Prophet, but she understood what Supreme Containment meant, realizing she was now involved in some trouble.

Sifumo saw her unease and pulled out a white scale from his shorts, marked with Ye Haimo’s emblem, representing the President’s command in the Capital Hunter Association.

"Since things weren’t disclosed before, I naturally wouldn’t interfere with your actions, but now that you know my task, none of you can leave the tour group until the journey ends."

Ye Wen bit her lip. Although she is Ye Haimo’s daughter, she’s also a Demon Hunter, so she can’t defy her father’s formal order.

The Wanderer sighed and then nodded. Had he known this, he wouldn’t have brought the matter to light. Quietly leaving would have been the best choice.

Watching Wen Wen change into a freestyle stance caused Sifumo a slight headache. Wen Wen had True Sequence strength and was always outside the Association’s rules, so Ye Haimo’s order might not necessarily bind Wen Wen.

Wen Wen stopped his awkward swimming stroke and smiled at Sifumo: "You don’t have to worry about me. I find this matter quite interesting, so I won’t be leaving for now."
