48. Determination
It's a weird-looking thing, it has a human head, a human torso, but on top of the human torso, the limbs of an ape grow!
When the monster saw the sun, it continued to run wildly. Its two hairy Australopithecus legs were extremely uncoordinated and had a strange twisting sensation when running, but they were extremely fast.
Mi Wuhuan and Gu Li watched this monster escape like this, and they didn't immediately stop it. And taking advantage of this moment, the monster was also running wildly, and it was getting closer and closer to the grass where Xia Gui was, and Xia Gui finally saw his face clearly.
It is the face of a suffering human being, with fear and pain written on it, despair and pain. The roots of his limbs were bloody, and there were four cuts, presumably cut off by some sharp weapon. And in his festering fracture, the limbs of the ancient ape, the limbs of humans and beasts, were barely joined together under the effect of some medicine.
If it weren't for Xia Gui's efforts to control his emotions, he would almost throw up.
The head of a man, the torso of a man, but the limbs of a beast!
This monster that is neither human nor ghost, neither human nor beast, gives people an extremely terrifying visual impact!
This is not a monster at all, but an artificially assembled orc.
Seeing that this monster was getting farther and farther away from the stone gate, there was also a trace of nervousness and anxiety in his desperate eyes. Originally, he didn't think that he would be able to escape, but when he ran to this position, Gu Li still didn't hinder himself, and he seemed to be able to expect himself to regain his freedom. The yearning for freedom made his expression extremely tense now, and he was running away with almost all his strength, for fear that he would run slower and be caught back to do some terrible experiment.
Mi Wuhuan and Gu Li were waiting for such a crazy running speed, and a glimmer of surprise flashed in their eyes, as if the speed of the monster was quite satisfactory to them.
"That's it. ”
Gu Li said lightly, and then swept out a surging passionate true qi from his wide cuffs. The true qi was as sharp as a thin light, and it shot straight at the back of the monster's head.
Sou!
The sharp True Qi needle shot into the back of the subject's head without any hindrance, delivering a fatal blow. The monster that was running wildly seemed to have been pressed the switch, and its whole body trembled, and its limbs were still running forward a few steps by inertia, and then fell down with a bang.
Xia Gui closed his eyes tightly, and the place where the monster fell was less than ten meters away from him. And when the monster fell, the back of the head twisted weakly in reverse, and a pair of eyes widened, revealing a look of surprise and dazedness, he saw Xia Gui hiding in the grass!
Xia Gui's heart jumped suddenly, this was the first time he had looked at the test subject so closely.
He found himself!
From his surprised, complicated, and surprised gaze, Xia Gui could be sure that he had discovered himself. At this moment, his heart also beat wildly, and he was afraid that the test subject would shout the truth about hiding in the grass.
However, what he feared did not happen, and the subject seemed to have no mind to care about anything else before he died. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was smiling at Xia Gui. The nervous look in his eyes finally dissipated at this moment, and was replaced by a smile of relief.
It didn't take long for this monster, which was neither human nor beast, to finally lose its breath.
"It seems...... The limbs of the monster are mounted on the torso of a person, which increases not only attack power, but also speed. This speed was nearly twenty percent faster than that of cultivators of the same level. In the distance, Gu Li said with satisfaction that he seemed to be very satisfied with the results of this experiment.
"Teacher, this is all thanks to your bold ideas and your exquisite alchemy skills. You are truly the best high priest on this continent!" Mi Wuhuan said appropriately.
Xia Gui, who was hiding in the grass, faced the corpse of the dead slave, but he felt frightened and boiling.
Attaching the limbs of a monster to a person's torso to increase its attack power is truly unheard of.
He thought that the three-star mission he had taken over was already unbelievable to the extreme, but now it seems that compared to the crazy live experiments, this is simply pediatric.
They did not consider slaves as human beings, and in their eyes slaves were not even counted as laborers to do their work.
Maybe it's a piece of wood, a piece of wood that can be disassembled and assembled at will?
Xia Gui only felt that his whole body was trembling, and he seemed to be out of anger.
No wonder Baozi always says "life is better than death". If the limbs are dismantled and the limbs of the monster are assembled, then is this person a person or a monster? Not to mention how painful the process is, how dead it is. Even if you barely survive, looking at yourself as a human or a beast, how should you evaluate yourself?
But these magnates didn't care what the slaves thought of themselves, they cared about whether the experiment would succeed.
......
After Gu Li and Mi Wuhuan left, Xia Gui almost crawled out of the grass.
Stumbling along the way, his legs were weak, and Xia Gui didn't know how he ran back to the villa from the gate of the northern base. By the time he returned to the villa, it was already sunset and it was already dark.
He found a pool of water that was empty, and rinsed his head and face fiercely, the cold pool water washed his skin, and the calm and sober emotions gradually penetrated into the depths of his heart, and the disgusting feeling gradually subsided......
Scary place!
They don't see slaves as human beings at all, they see them as test subjects!
It's no wonder that few of the slaves here survive more than a year, because they are simply victims of the experiments used by the magnates. This kind of behavior is more terrible than human martyrdom, and people can die happily if they are martyred, and when they conduct experiments, they often survive in a kind of pain that is neither human nor beast, neither human nor ghost, and even if they want to die, they cannot die.
Recalling that Zhang Yun and Liu Xian are still intriguing for a bottle of soul essence, it is really ridiculous.
They didn't expect that the bottle of soul essence that nourished them was exactly the medicine primer for the nobles to make money and kill them, and it would be useless to live for a few more months, and soon, they would also be sent to the northern base, and they would not be able to escape the fate of being studied......
"In that case...... So ......"
Xia Gui took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly.
He made a bold decision.
If he was deliberately keeping his head in obscurity before, then from now on, he can no longer hide his strength.
He had to show his worth to the point where he was worth more than what he was being used for living experiments!
Xia Gui looked at his own reflection in the water, and the reflection in the water reflected the delicate and serious little face of a sixteen-year-old boy. And behind this little face, there is a monstrous hatred that no one can see.
He swore that before leaving, he would give Jiuhou Villa a big gift!
