"Young Master, everything is ready and waiting for you..."
The shiny bald head said in a humble voice: The next moment, the protruding bald head made a pop sound, and rolled to the ground as blood spurted out from a distance.
In the natural cave-like corridor behind the secret door, people could not help but scream in low voices; but there were still people following closely behind, and they turned around and ran away in panic. However, the man couldn't get far in the corridor, and fell to the ground with the sword blade piercing the back of his neck.
At the end of the corridor, there is a brightly lit cave hall, but there is a rich and extremely putrid smell that hits your face. The most eye-catching sight was a dozen large mastiff dogs tied to special iron frames under the firelight. And beside these large Ao dogs, there were still people standing in twos and threes.
They were holding what looked like needles in their hands, and they were taking turns injecting something into these mastiffs, which were obviously larger than the same size. Others were using iron forks, steel hooks, etc. to suppress them. The moment he saw the intruder Jiang Tian, he couldn't help but froze for a moment before yelling:
"Who are you? How dare you break into this place...do you want to kill yourself?"
"Get him quickly...no one is left alive."
The next moment, some of these people separated fiercely and surrounded them with hook-and-fork weapons; they chased Jiang Tian who retreated into the corridor and disappeared into the darkness. A moment later, another person ran out screaming, and then was cut off by Jiang Tian who stepped out with a sword.
Seeing this scene, the remaining people in the cave hall screamed strangely as if their nest had exploded, and then they scrambled to escape and disappeared along the several cave entrances leading to the four walls; this also made Jiang Tian feel a little confused. Unable to catch up, I could only use the flying blade to knock down the nearest unlucky ones.
However, when he tried to pick up the discarded syringes, he found one that had not been crushed to pieces; and he planned to interrogate the remaining survivors. Suddenly, the cave hall was filled with roars and roars.
But it was those large mastiff dogs that had been injected that struggled and twitched violently, making the iron frame rattle. Then, under certain internal effects, the body visibly swelled and stretched, and the swelling tore the skin on the muzzle, limbs, etc., and the whole body became covered in blood.
Jiang Tian couldn't help but feel something in his heart, but he paused and continued to attack. Could this be the transformation process of those ferocious beasts? Then, one of the large mastiffs with the most obvious mutation was seen. Its muscles were rolling and squirming, and large areas of bloody fur fell off.
The most obvious changes in its mouth cleft and limbs are also like abnormal growths protruding through the flesh. It has longer and sharper pale white claws than ordinary dogs and even tigers and leopards, and it roars in pain at the restraint. On the iron frame, scratches and bites left marks of varying depths.
But at the next moment, this mastiff, which seemed to have changed the most completely, suddenly let out a series of miserable screams, and suddenly spurted out a large mouthful of turbid blood from its severely torn muzzle; and then it burst into flames. He kept vomiting and even vomited out rotten flesh and blood and suspected organ fragments.
And its body, which was originally on the verge of swelling and bursting, also vomited out a large ball of blood and accumulation, and shrank again like a punctured balloon; it finally shrank into a ball with only a fraction of its original body. , sliding from the gap between the iron frames to the ground with a splat.
This is like the beginning. Another large mastiff in the process of mutation also kept using its deformed head to expand, hitting and trying to break free from the iron frame; it was stuck and squeezed to death bit by bit, and then the flesh swelled out from the gaps, and finally The cracked red and white flowed all over the ground.
There was also a mutated mastiff. While struggling and shaking, he suddenly started to bleed all over the body, and pieces of torn texture fell off. Finally, the skin was so ulcerated that even the organs under the diaphragm were swollen. The green leaves were clearly visible; they fell to the ground with an overwhelming crash.
Another large mastiff successfully broke free from the restraints on its head and forelimbs after breaking many of its claws. However, the distorted and swollen rear body was still stuck in the heavy iron frame; as a result, it tore itself apart from the lower back after painful twisting and twisting.
That is to say, in a short period of time, these large mastiffs that had been hastily injected with some special ingredients died in agony one after another due to various incomplete mutations and deformed proliferations; leaving the cave hall filled with The strong smell of blood and organs.
However, Jiang Tian also noticed that there were a few exceptions. For example, a small blue-spotted mastiff actually survived the deformation of complete loss of fur, and even took the initiative to break the forelimbs of its upper body, and tore its bulging and exposed head out of the confinement range of the iron frame;
Then, driven by some kind of instinctive desire, he bit the other mutated mastiff that was still struggling in pain on the side; biting off a large piece of its back neck, and blood sprayed out like a spring from the gap; Then he took a greedy second and third bite, and ate half of it in the blink of an eye.
And as it continued to pounce on the same kind, constantly biting, sucking and swallowing the flesh and blood, the two hanging forelimbs that had been forcibly broken under the restraints of the iron frame also straightened and stood up again; Visible to the naked eye, it becomes thicker and fuller...
The next moment, another mastiff survived the initial mutation and proliferation, and broke free from the shackles of its head at the cost of tearing off half of the skin on its face. I saw it dragging half of its exposed head, opening its mouth and biting a dying person on the ground; it immediately aroused a cry.
After just a few breaths, the man completely died. Then the body that kept twitching seemed to be struggling to its death, clearly shrinking inwards visible to the naked eye. As for this mastiff, a large area of fur fell off, and its bloody body also began to show signs of squirming and healing.
And in the farthest corner, there was already a third mastiff. It didn't know when it was able to break free of its restraints, and it gnawed away all the similar dogs in the surrounding area. The skinned body no longer oozes blood, but is covered in a layer of secreted mucus, which is drying rapidly.
But the next moment, there was a flash of sword light in the sky, and the mute mastiff/ferocious beast that was munching on the organs of the corpse next to it suddenly let out a neighing sound; then, its neck and lower abdomen suddenly broke apart , a large pile of rotten flesh and blood was splashed out.
However, it did not die from this. Instead, under some kind of instinctive inertia, it continued to pounce on another half-mastiff that had not yet expired. It tore the lower half of its limbs one after another, and then slipped to the ground from the torn esophagus. ; And the ruptured abdominal cavity actually has a tendency to shrink and close.
After a few breaths, it seemed that the energy and stimulation brought by the sudden change in the bloodline had been exhausted. This mastiff, which seemed to have the most complete mutation, suddenly fell to the ground silently, and then its whole body seemed to have lost its support and melted into flesh and blood.
Immediately afterwards, there were two more mastiffs/ferocious beasts that were close at hand and had almost completed their transformation. They stretched out their heads and claws without hesitation, biting each other's flesh and blood. In the end, they were able to devour the loser and expand the circle. The victor, just as he raised his head and roared, was pierced through the head and brain by a flying blade.
At this moment, Jiang Tian and at least Qin Yan saw the transformation process of five large mastiffs that survived the initial mutations and deformed proliferation and became the original version of the ferocious beasts. However, he was a little lucky that he was killed in advance here.
After all, this kind of thing cannot withstand the sun, but can devour flesh and blood to restore itself; in this underground world that is not exposed to the sun and is narrow and cramped enough to make it difficult to take advantage of the number of people and equipment, but is also accessible in all directions for easy escape and concealment, it is simply like a fish in water. .
If it is given enough time, it has devoured enough blood food to grow; and it has gained enough hunting experience. That would be a particularly troublesome and costly problem for any force that wants to capture and clean up.
However, judging from the documents and records found in the secret room below, as well as the large number of ancient skeletons of various colors accumulated. Jiang Tian was finally able to confirm that this was obviously the test site where the original ferocious beast was born, and this mastiff was selected and bred after trying a variety of animals.
Next, Jiang Tian no longer had the interest to continue chasing along those cave entrances; instead, he used the temporary blessing of "continuity" and "guidance" to use those heavy iron frames to temporarily block those exits. He stood up; thinking that the scene was temporarily preserved.
After all, as the protagonist's template, he has done too many things along the way, but he can't do everything at once. Now that key evidence (mission progress) has been obtained, it is time to rely on official power to resolve follow-up issues.
Later, he returned to the building at the other end, only to find that the naked pig that had been tied up under the desk was missing. I couldn't help but feel nervous, could there be any accomplices or insiders who could have saved him? Immediately, the movement and sound coming from outside the terrace attracted him.
But it was the naked young man who was scratched and bleeding all over his body. He dragged out traces of blood like a meat worm and wriggled to the railing near the terrace. He was trying hard to open a corner of the gap with his head. So as to push a heavy object down and attract attention from below.
However, at this moment, Jiang Tian had no intention of paying attention to his little move. Because, in the relatively spacious vestibule and long street downstairs, hundreds of warriors with gray clothes and ghost faces have gathered. They are shouting and waving various guys to besiege a house.
If Jiang Tian remembered correctly, that should be the place where he had let Murong Wu and the others hide. But at this moment, there were obviously many more people in that position, and temporary obstacles and fortifications were set up at the door to keep out the ghost city warriors who had the numerical advantage.
