Chapter 394
Xiao Zhan pressed the headset and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, retreat one kilometer, expand the encirclement, and if you find anything that looks human but not human, kill it immediately!"
All the captains of the Foreign Alliance Army were stunned when they heard the order.
They subconsciously asked:
"Palace Master, what does it mean to be human-like but not human-like?"
Xiao Zhan was silent for two seconds, "That's the literal meaning."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan walked towards the passage in front of the cave again.
Exposed wires were fixed to the top of the passage, and a light bulb hung.
Xiao Zhan walked quickly.
Suddenly, the damp stone wall on the left seemed to move.
A somewhat blurry figure suddenly jumped out from the wall, stretched out its arms to strangle Xiao Zhan, then opened its mouth, biting Xiao Zhan's neck with two slender fangs.
This man's strength is more powerful than the two just now, and he is extremely powerful.
If he were an ordinary person, he would probably be strangled to pieces on the spot.
But Xiao Zhan was much stronger than him.
Before his teeth touched Xiao Zhan's neck, the Dawn Sword had already penetrated his mouth and passed through his neck.
The man screamed and quickly let go of Xiao Zhan.
But when Xiao Zhan turned around, he couldn't see anyone.
Xiao Zhan's eyes were cold, and he waved the Dawn Sword, and sword energy swept through the entire passage instantly.
Dense sword marks appeared on the cave wall.
Suddenly, a cloud of blood sprayed out.
Visible to the naked eye, the stone wall a few meters away began to change color.
Then, a figure was revealed.
This person looks normal, but the skin on his body is colorful and constantly changing.
Xiao Zhan immediately thought of the word 'chameleon'.
The other party was covering his heart, and the color of his body kept changing, as if he was invisible.
But the Dawn Sword had already shot out, piercing this man's heart.
Xiao Zhan took back the Dawn Sword and stood still.
From the moment he entered the cave, what he saw was very strange.
Could it be that the people in this cave are all such monsters?
Suddenly, a harsh roar came.
The light bulb in the passage burst instantly, and the surrounding area was instantly dark, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.
But Xiao Zhan could feel that there must be someone in the darkness.
A gust of fishy wind blew towards my face.
Xiao Zhan slashed out with his sword.
There were sparks flying in the darkness.
Xiao Zhan closed his eyes.
He could feel the real energy fluctuations around him and hear any slight sound.
"boom!"
Several darts burst out.
When Xiao Zhan heard the sound of breaking through the sky, his figure flashed and he waved the Dawn Sword continuously.
Several darts instantly penetrated the stone wall and made an explosion.
Xiao Zhan suddenly stretched out his hand and thrust a sword into the darkness behind him.
The sword energy roared and swept out.
As if something metal had been stabbed, a spark flew out of the darkness.
Xiao Zhan only saw a dark shadow.
A strange laughter sounded in the darkness.
Xiao Zhan snorted coldly, thrust the Dawn Sword into the ground, clasped his hands together, and the condensed true energy formed a thunder ball.
"Come out!"
Xiao Zhan let out a low roar, pulled hard with both hands, and the thunder ball expanded instantly, with a diameter of more than two meters, and exploded out instantly.
The thunderball flashed past in the passage.
"boom!"
A black shadow was blown away instantly, and screams suddenly sounded.
Xiao Zhan walked forward step by step, regardless of what the hell thing was lying on the ground twitching. When his foot fell, blood burst instantly.
Xiao Zhan continued to move forward.
Suddenly, a downward step appeared in front of him.
Xiao Zhan walked to the end of the steps, and a deep pool appeared in front of him.
Under the dim light, the water reflected the cold light, making it difficult to see how deep the pool was.
Xiao Zhan blasted out with a palm, and the water pool exploded instantly.
But there was no movement inside.
Xiao Zhan frowned.
The passage has come to an end.
But the person Xiao Zhan was really looking for didn't show up.
Xiao Zhan jumped up and jumped directly into the pool.
It was pitch black in the pool, and the water was bitingly cold.
Xiao Zhan swam quickly.
Suddenly there was the sound of a waterfall falling overhead.
Xiao Zhan quickly rose up, jumped up from the pool under the waterfall, and landed on the shore.
But Xiao Zhan didn't leave immediately.
He stared at the pool with doubts in his eyes.
Then, Xiao Zhan pinched his fingertips, and a drop of blood fell silently into the pond.
Then, Xiao Zhan turned around and left.
Half an hour later.
A black shadow rushed out of the water and hit the shore hard.
This is a man of insignificant age. His whole body is covered with dense black scales, his eyes are red, he has a sharp mouth and fangs, and there are parts like fish gills at the back.
He lay on the ground, his body twitching constantly, black poisonous blood kept coming out of his mouth and nose, and the scales on his body began to fall off.
Not only that, but smelly blood was still seeping out from the gaps between the scales on his body.
Xiao Zhan's cold voice suddenly sounded:
"After all, he is a strong man in the early stage of the God King Realm. Is there any benefit in making myself look like this?"
The man turned around suddenly and saw Xiao Zhan approaching step by step with the Dawn Sword.
He roared and turned around to jump into the pool.
Xiao Zhan appeared next to him as if teleporting, and stepped on his back.
Feeling the hardness of the scales on his body, Xiao Zhan's eyes were filled with confusion.
Xiao Zhan reached out, grabbed a scale, and tore it off directly.
The man screamed in pain, but continued to struggle.
Xiao Zhan looked at the black scales in his hand and threw them aside.
"Answer me, why are you in the divine king realm like this?"
The man roared like a beast.
Xiao Zhan raised his foot expressionlessly, and then kicked it out. The man flew into the pool and disappeared.
Xiao Zhan stood on the shore and waited patiently.
Less than ten minutes passed.
The man rushed out of the water again and fell directly in front of Xiao Zhan.
His body kept twitching, and he stretched out a hand towards Xiao Zhan, wanting to say something but unable to.
All the scales on his body have fallen off and are bloody. Not only that, there are many blood holes on his body, and bones can be seen in many places.
Xiao Zhan reached out and grabbed it from the air.
Black smoke began to emit from the man's body, and all the toxins were sucked out.
The man gasped and looked at Xiao Zhan with horror on his face.
"You are dead."
It seemed like he hadn't spoken for a long time.
The man spoke in a strange tone.
Xiao Zhan said indifferently:
"I ask you again, how did you become like this? Where are the people behind you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, black energy began to emerge from Xiao Zhan's palms.
The man's expression trembled:
"Don't do it, I said!"
"We are guinea pigs!"
Xiao Zhan frowned: "What experiment?"
Now that the man has spoken, he will naturally not hide it anymore.
He said truthfully:
"A long time ago, they discovered that the vitality and adaptability of ferocious beasts to the environment are much stronger than those of us humans."
"Beasts have been around since before humans were born."
"We people should have died long ago."
"They don't know what method they used to give us the ability of the beast."
"And the price is to become an orc."
Seeing Xiao Zhan frowning tightly, he said again:
"Those of us have longer lifespans, have special abilities, and our strength can also be improved."
Xiao Zhan sneered:
"Are you still considered a human being when you look like this?"
The man was silent and didn't speak.
Xiao Zhan continued to ask:
"Who are the 'they' you're talking about? Where do they come from?"
The man shook his head, "I don't know, they are all wearing masks."
"I don't know where they come from, but I was brought by them in Zhongzhou."
After a moment of pause, the man said again:
"I don't know them, but I can guess that there are many experimental subjects like us. In addition to here, there are similar places in four other states."
Xiao Zhan was silent for a while, turned on the headset, and asked:
"All captains come to me, the others stay where they are."
A moment later, hundreds of captains from the Foreign Alliance Army branch came to the waterhole.
They are all members of the Temple of War and have extremely strong psychological qualities.
But when they saw the man on the ground, their pupils shrank sharply.
Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:
"There is a cave behind the waterfall. There are several corpses in it. Take them all out."
"There is another cage, bring it out too, but don't open the cage."
The captains nodded and jumped into the passage.
Half an hour later, the corpses of several monsters killed by Xiao Zhan were placed by the pool.
Seeing these monster-like existences, everyone was speechless.
"boom!"
An iron cage was thrown into the pool.
Members of the Temple of War immediately dragged the iron cage ashore.
The monster in the cage covered his eyes and curled up trembling.
This monster no longer looks human.
His whole body is covered with white hair, the nails on his hands and feet are as sharp as knives, his mouth is protruding, and his nose is sunken. He looks like a white orangutan.
Xiao Zhan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Have your team members return to their respective stations immediately."
"You personally transport these corpses, as well as those in this cage, back to the Huangzhou Affairs Management Office in Shangjing City."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan looked at the dying God King-level man on the ground.
He was convulsing in agony.
Xiao Zhan shook his head.
He said that he was an experiment, but he didn't know that he was a failed experiment.
Even if Xiao Zhan hadn't appeared here, he wouldn't have had a good end.
The powerful animal nature will slowly turn him into a real beast, and no trace of humanity will remain.
Xiao Zhan waved the Dawn Sword and gave him a happy blow.
After a while, Xiao Zhan led everyone away from here.
As for the one million true essence stones, they were also taken away.
Going to Beijing, late at night.
The Huangzhou Affairs Management Office base is brightly lit.
In an underground alloy laboratory, more than a dozen experts were conducting comprehensive research on the corpses brought back.
In the alloy room next door, the man who had almost completely turned into an ape was imprisoned.
He was still very sensitive to light and huddled in the corner shivering.
Xiao Zhan stood outside the thick glass and had been observing for a long time.
An old expert with gray hair, reading glasses and a stooped body walked up to Xiao Zhan at this time.
Xiao Zhan clasped his fists and shouted:
"Old Wu."
Wu Guirong, Yanlong Country’s top expert in biology and genetics.
Wu Guirong gasped, then stood up straight, and slowly said:
"After examination, they did have a genetic mutation."
"But the cause of their genetic mutations is not cell transplantation and DNA recombination as we originally thought."
Xiao Zhan frowned, "What's the reason?"
Wu Guirong was silent for two seconds and continued:
"Studying them made me deeply doubt the theories I had learned."
"According to our speculation, these people are natural mutations."
Xiao Zhan frowned:
"Natural mutation?"
Wu Guirong nodded:
"It's like humans changing from apes to what they are now."
"In a certain environment, their bodies will change in order to adapt to the requirements of survival."
"However, such a change process will take at least tens of thousands of years."
"This is what we least understand."
"Moreover," Wu Guirong said solemnly:
"They can no longer be regarded as humans, nor can they be regarded as beasts. The DNA combination method is very complicated. They should be regarded as a kind of creature that has never existed before."
"The term half-orc is not accurate."
"A brand new creature?" Xiao Zhan's eyes were sharp: "Mr. Wu, I have worked hard for you during this period. I will also try to find out the reason why they became like this."
Wu Guirong nodded, turned and walked towards the laboratory.
After a while, Xiao Zhan left the Huangzhou Affairs Management Base.
It was already late at night.
When Xiao Zhan returned to Queqiao Mountain, Xiao Tianxia was already asleep.
Under the moonlight, Ye Wei was on the viewing platform of Magpie Bridge Palace, constantly waving the sword in her hand.
Seeing Xiao Fei coming back with Xiao Zhan, Ye Wei put away her sword.
Xiao Zhan laughed awkwardly:
"I'm sorry Weiwei, I couldn't make it back for dinner again."
Ye Wei shook her head, took Xiao Zhan's arm and said:
"No need to explain, I understand."
