Chapter 465: Chapter 463: Death is Imminent_1
In the dimly lit corridor, Lu Xuan walked slowly.
Arriving at a cave, following the instructions of the Old Fox, he used his spiritual power to unlock the forbidden formation outside the cave. A ferocious demon beast burst out fiercely, only to be pulled back into the depths of the cave by the rune chains on its body.
He was now well accustomed to the vicious outward appearance but weak inner strength of these beasts, and entered the cave calmly.
All the beasts locked in the forbidden area, in addition to the forbidden array outside the cave, have various magic artifacts restricting their demonic power and movement on their bodies. Their true strength is practically reduced by seventy percent, which makes Lu Xuan handle them easily.
“Good boy, let me draw some blood.”
In the cave was a completely black giant snake with two heads, glaring fiercely at Lu Xuan.
Seeing the specialized blood extraction device in his hand, its massive body couldn’t help but shudder, obediently lying on the ground.
The sharp device easily pierced through its black scales, creating a fountain of blood from within, quickly filling up the device.
After Lu Xuan finished drawing the blood, he took out a bottle of solvent with a strange smell from his storage bag.
This was a special solvent given to him by the Old Fox that could blend various demon beast blood and purify them.
The giant snake’s blood was a dark red color with extreme toxicity, making one feel dizzy upon smelling it.
Pouring it into the bizarre solvent, immediately, the dark red blood produced a violent reaction in the solvent, its color becoming deeper and deeper, as if it was going to suck Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense into it.
He put away the processed demon snake blood, and entered another cave as instructed by the Old Fox.
Upon opening the forbidden formation, a strange toad as big as a grinding disc came into view.
The toad’s skin was colorful, obviously highly toxic, and even exhaled toxic smoke while breathing.
Seeing Lu Xuan stretch out his blood extraction device, it didn’t react, but its eyes were full of resentment.
“Don’t look at me like that, it makes me nervous.”
Lu Xuan said to the toad beast with a grin.
With a push on his wrist, the needle-shaped device easily pierced through the thick skin of the toad.
The gigantic toad shook violently involuntarily in pain.
“My apologies, I missed the spot. Let’s try again.”
He pulled out the device, selected a spot after some pondering, and thrust it harshly into the toad’s body.
The toad monster was in even greater pain.
Yet the device still didn’t suction any blood.
“I’m a bit rusty, but I’ll get it after a few tries.”
Lu Xuan said, somewhat embarrassed. He pulled out and reinserted the specialized blood extraction device several times until he eventually siphoned a tube of multicolored demon beast essence blood out.
“Remember not to look at me like that in the future, otherwise I get nervous easily.”
He chuckled at the toad monster.
The multicolored blood, after being processed and purified with the special solvent, turned into another form of solution.
In the solution floated multicolored light clusters, each one condensed to the extreme, like specks of numerous stars.
He held his breath, pouring the black essence blood previously extracted from the giant snake into the container.
In an instant, it caused a violent reaction in the solution.
Upon contact with the black essence blood, each colorful light cluster exploded like fireworks, leaving clusters of colorful fluffy substance behind.
“It’s a failure.”
Lu Xuan recorded the reaction of the two types of purified essence blood in a book, expressing his regret softly.
As for the failed mixed essence blood, he casually collected it into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
“It’d be ideal to feed it to the Blood Scourge Flower, given that it’s a Weird Spiritual Plant, the mixed essence blood may be a great supplement for it.”
Lu Xuan unceremoniously collected the mixed essence blood into the pouch.
He had been assisting the Cyan Fox Monster Beast with the Ferocious Beast experiment for some time now.
During this time, his daily tasks were simple, starting with observing the multiplication status of the demon beasts, and figuring out ways to maintain their mating.
As he gradually got accustomed and the Old Fox started to trust him more, he was asked to extract the Demon Beast and Ferocious Beast essence blood, treating it with a special solvent and observing whether the selected Demon Beast Essence Blood could produce a positive reaction.
However, every experiment ended in failure. Instead of discarding or destroying the failed experimental subjects, Lu Xuan kept them in the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, looking for opportunities to feed them to the Blood Scourge Flower, Blood Spirit Palm Ginseng, and other Underworld Spiritual Plants.
During the experiment, he got to witness the diversity of demon beast essence blood.
Various essence bloods had vastly different colours and huge differences in characteristics, this gave him a good understanding of the demon beasts in this world.
After diligently completing the blood extraction work day after day, the Cyan Fox Monster Beast increased his workload again.
“There are other things that I need you to do.”
It went to Lu Xuan, sounding older and weaker.
“Senior, please elaborate.”
Lu Xuan, who had already adapted to their interaction style, said respectfully.
“You must already understand that there are numerous uniquely modified Ferocious Beasts and Evil Beasts in the forbidden area, these Strange Beasts are composed of different Ferocious Beast torsos, limbs, and heads that have been transplanted and sewn together.”
“What I want you to do is simple, raise and care for these Sewn-up Fierce Beasts, carefully document their detailed states, and contact me immediately if any abnormalities occur.”
After the Old Fox finished speaking, it handed Lu Xuan a Qinghei Talisman. The talisman seemed to be made of its own fur and felt finely soft, similar to skin, when held in the hand.
“Junior understands.”
Lu Xuan nodded.
He followed the Old Fox’s guidance and went to the deepest level of the cave to find those special demon beasts that had been transplanted with organs or even entire bodies.
Upon entering the stone cave, what met his eyes was a Multi-clawed Octopus. Its dozens of tentacles sprawled on the ground like a pile of mud. Each of the tentacles’ tips had transplanted Demon Beast Eyeballs, and pus with a nauseating smell was leaking from the majority of the stitched areas.
Lu Xuan took out a pile of water-related monster beasts and put them in front of the many-eyed octopus.
The octopus Strange Beast weakly lifted a tentacle; an eye on the tip opened and grabbed onto a spiritual fish over a meter long, shoving it into its mouth.
After eating one, it closed its eyes, showing no interest in the leftover Demon Beast Meat.
“This doesn’t seem right.”
Seeing the Strange Beast react this way, Lu Xuan knew something was wrong and condensed his spiritual sense onto the beast’s body.
Suddenly, a thought surfaced in his mind.
[Unknown Strange Beast, Rank: Fourth Grade, Fourth Grade Black Breath Giant Octopus merged with the eyes of the sewn-up Thousand-eyed Beast, causing an unknown change to occur within its body.]
[Due to rejection by spiritual power, its life-force is weak and on the verge of extinguishing.]
“I didn’t expect to actually be able to watch the detailed state of the sewn-up, transplanted Ferocious Beasts.”
Lu Xuan was first delighted, once again realizing the power of this special ability of his.
“Unfortunately, you’re just a failed product.”
“There’s no hope for you, just wait for death.”
He glanced at the octopus Ferocious Beast lying weak and breathless on the ground, deciding its death sentence and noting it down.
“With this ability, none of the experimented and modified Ferocious Beasts in the forbidden area will be able to hide any secrets from me. Whether they live or die, how to save them, I can see with just one glance. This seems to be a naturally suitable experiment.”
