Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 24 Quicksand
Time is short, and ten days have passed in a flash. The undercurrent in the Jinsha Valley is becoming more and more turbulent, but the south slope remains as quiet as before.

In the rat garden, Jiang Chen carefully observed each experimental rat. During this period of time, he fed three different kinds of blood and qi to these experimental rats, and confirmed the effects of these three kinds of blood and qi through their reactions. The blood and qi purified simply with murderous intent had the worst effect and was eliminated first.

"Right now, it seems the most effective method should be the blood energy tempered by the method of killing with eyes. It should be the most thorough in destroying the will of living beings."

After recording the data and comparing it carefully, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the current experimental results, the blood energy tempered by the eye-killing method has not shown any obvious side effects after being used multiple times on experimental mice. However, in this process, Jiang Chen also once again confirmed that individual living beings do have limits.

Even after refining blood and qi many times, the hundreds of experimental rats in the rat garden did not undergo the transformation like Rat Tianjiao. They could only reach a limit by absorbing blood and qi. After reaching this limit, absorbing blood and qi was no longer useful to them. If they forcibly absorbed a large amount of blood and qi, the final result would be only one, and that was explosion and death.

"pity!"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but shake his head as he glanced at the fat and strong rats. Although these rats were not small in size, they were no match for Rat Prodigy. They were just big rats covered in fat and were of no use.

At this moment, in the corner, a rat that had absorbed a large amount of blood and energy suddenly went crazy. Its body size slightly increased, becoming as big as a hound. It broke free from its restraints and rushed towards Jiang Chen.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up slightly. This was a sign of transformation.

At the same time, as if aware of the danger to Jiang Chen, Shu Tianjiao, who was following beside him, took a deep breath, his body suddenly grew larger, and he rushed directly towards the mad rat.

Buzz, waving his claws, power burst out, relying on his powerful body, Shu Tianjiao slapped the mad mouse away with lightning speed, showing his speed, ruthlessness and accuracy.

Huh, looking at the mouse that was still trying to struggle, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and Shu Tianjiao stepped on it directly, completely crushing it under his feet, causing blood to flow from its mouth and leaving it no power to fight back.

Roar, stepping on the mutant rat and letting out a low growl, Shu Tianjiao swept over the experimental rats with a cold gaze. At this moment, the group of rats that were originally a little agitated because of the mad mutant rats immediately quieted down, and they all lowered their eyes, not daring to look at Shu Tianjiao.

Seeing the group of rats like this, Rat Tianjiao became even more arrogant. He looked around with disdain and was insolent.

Looking at this scene, a strange look flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

"I didn't expect you to have some potential to become the Rat King."

His eyes fell on Shu Tianjiao, and Jiang Chen had to admit that Shu Tianjiao had given him another surprise. You know, no matter in which tribe, a king beast is very rare. In the doomsday period, he had seen king beasts commanding tribes and ruling a region. Faced with such an existence, the survivors could basically only take a detour.

Moreover, through experiments during this period, he has determined that the effect of blood and qi has its limits. It can only help people reach their physical limits, but it cannot break the limits. The reason why Shu Tianjiao can complete the transformation is more because of the extraordinary power that has already been deposited in his body.

"Another giant growth ability. It seems that whether it's the rats from Muyu Island or the rats from Jinsha Valley, their bloodline source should be the same."

Jiang Chen's gaze shifted from Shu Tianjiao to the mutant rat, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

So far, he has seen three mice that have undergone metamorphosis or mutation, and the skills they displayed were to make their bodies bigger. This was not a simple coincidence. The only reasonable explanation was that they all had the same extraordinary blood flowing in their bodies, and they completed the resuscitation after being infused with blood and energy.

"Let's lock it up for now. Even though it's crazy, it still has some research value."

After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Chen made a decision.

Hearing this, Shu Tianjiao shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively picked up the mutant rat. Seeing that Jiang Chen did not stop him, he threw it into an iron cage and locked it with its tail.

Jiang Chen wasn't surprised by this. After spending these days together, he had a relatively clear understanding of Rat Tianjiao's intelligence. Its intelligence was extremely high, comparable to that of a human child, though it couldn't speak. "Now that we've selected the most suitable blood, it's time to conduct the final experiment."

With a thought in mind, Jiang Chen walked into the deepest part of the Rat Garden, where there was the most special experimental subject in the Rat Garden.

Just when Jiang Chen was immersed in his own research, an extraordinary guest quietly came to Jinsha Valley. He was another big boss under the third in command, Zhao Hui, the Iron Sand Palm.

"Zhao Er is missing."

When he came in front of Qian Wen, Zhao Hui said something that shocked him.

“How is this possible…”

When Qian Wen heard that Zhao Er was missing, he didn't believe it at first and wanted to refute it.

Looking at Qian Wen like this, Zhao Hui's face, which looked like a pancake, showed a hint of coldness.

"Zhao Er's wife and children are still on Muyu Island, and his properties remain intact. The possibility of him leaving on his own is extremely small. Now that he's missing, the most likely scenario is that he was captured, or even murdered."

Staring at Qian Wen coldly, Zhao Hui seemed to want to see something from his face.

"Killed? Zhao Er is a second-rate master, and he's also good at body movement. Who could have killed him? Could it be that the boss discovered something?"

Thinking of a possibility, Qian Wen shuddered all over. The boss, Tie Ren Tu, was a real murderer.

"The eldest boss left the island a few days ago, so the possibility of him being the one involved isn't very high. However, this is still a potential threat, so the third boss asked you to intercept all the gold sand and erase all traces."

With cold words, Zhao Hui announced the decision of the third in command, Zhao Meng.

Hearing this, Qian Wen was shocked again. He did not give an answer immediately, but paced back and forth in the room, feeling anxious.

"What does the Third Master intend to do?"

After a moment, forcing himself to calm down, Qian Wen turned his gaze to Zhao Hui. This was the intention of the third in command, Zhao Meng, and he had no power to refuse. All he could do now was to actively cooperate and erase all traces.

Seeing this, Zhao Hui nodded silently in his heart. When he came here this time, Zhao Meng had specifically told him to pay attention to Qian Wen's performance. If Qian Wen made any excuses, he could be killed directly. The disappearance of Zhao Er this time really stimulated Zhao Meng, making him like a vicious wolf, baring his fangs at everyone he saw. At this time, Qian Wen had no idea that he had been to the gates of hell.

"Quicksand Bandits."

Zhao Hui, who valued words as if they were gold, gave Qian Wen a hint.

Hearing this, Qian Wen immediately understood what Zhao Meng wanted to do.

"The Third Master wants everyone dead. Yes, as long as everyone is dead, there will naturally be no trace left. Even all the gold sands can disappear."

A chill rose up in his heart, and after realizing everything, Qian Wen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.
