Chapter 330: The First Case Survives
Since discovering how to draw out the strange energy contained in the crystal, Zhang Cheng has started various attempts on the way to Stormwind City.
Similarly, the gnolls, kobolds, and fishmen roaming the edge of the forest have also ushered in a catastrophe like the end of the world, and in just a few days, the corpses of monsters will be seen at intervals on both sides of the road.
Some of them swelled several times, others had two heads, four legs, sharp bone spurs, reptilian scales, and so on, and none of them died a normal death.
is in response to the opening remarks of a famous program of a TV station:
Why did the old jackal die naked on the street?
Why are hundreds of fishmen screaming in the middle of the night?
Why did the kobolds, who were originally entrenched near the mines, become incontinent when they heard the footsteps of humans?
Is it the distortion of human nature or the degradation of morality behind all this?
Even among the inhabitants of the Elwyn Forest, there is a pervert who is using monsters to carry out evil and terrifying experiments......
Of course, none of this had much to do with Zhang Cheng, as he had already left Shining Gold a day earlier, and would be a few hours away from the majestic gates of Stormwind City.
However, Old George, who was the leader of the caravan, subconsciously glanced back at the last kobold who were trapped behind the carriage with ropes, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Mage, do you see if you should deal with those little monsters first, the guards will not allow them to enter the city." ”
"Don't bear it, I've got their share ready. As he spoke, Zhang Cheng handed a vial of purple jelly-like viscous liquid that exuded a dazzling glow to his followers. "Simon, give them nobody a drop. Remember, don't too much, or the consequences you know. ”
"As you wish, master. ”
The young man carefully took the bottle, the corners of his mouth twitched out fiercely, and he went straight to the back of the convoy, forcibly forced Nie Kai's kobold's mouth, poured the mucus down one by one, and ran forward without looking back.
Not only him, but also the coachmen cut the ropes that had been tied to the back of the car, and called for the horses to speed up, as if something terrible was about to happen.
I saw that in just a few seconds, the body of the kobold expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, from about one meter to about one meter and a half, and the surface of the skin full of wrinkles for some reason actually grew shiny scales, among which a small piece of blue crystals actually condensed on the forehead.
But this strange phenomenon lasted less than a minute, and most of the kobolds let out a miserable scream, and it didn't take long for them to explode with a thud.
Blood and scraps of flesh were scattered everywhere, instantly staining the ground and grass.
Especially the shocking internal organs, so that the guards who have seen a lot of bloody scenes can't help but turn pale, and the contents of their stomachs are even more vigorous.
Only the kobold who had grown blue crystals managed to survive, lying on the ground on his laud ground, waiting for his two glowing red eyes, as if begging for mercy.
"Give it something to eat. Zhang Cheng touched his chin with interest and commanded.
You must know that this is the only living form that has survived his inhumane experiments since leaving the West Spring Fortress, and it is very valuable for research.
Resisting the pungent smell of blood, Simon opened a wooden barrel from the car and threw away the bread, cheese, and some fresh fruit stored inside.
As soon as the latter smelled the food, he used all his strength to get up and gobble it into his mouth, and as he ate, the azure crystals growing above his head began to release a faint halo of magic.
When old George saw this scene, he couldn't help but ask, "What's ...... Is that the power of magic? You gave a kobold the ability to cast spells?"
"Hmm...... It's magical energy, but whether or not you can use it is another matter. After all, kobolds are not lifeless without intelligence, they may be cowardly and cowardly, but as far as I know, they still have some talent for spellcasting. Maybe it was the drop of liquid full of energy just now that activated the talent hidden in its body. Zhang Cheng explained in a tone that was not very certain.
To be honest, when he gave the kobold a test potion, he didn't think that there would be survivors alive at all, he just wanted to observe the changes in the other party's body, and then accumulate experimental data, slowly improve the formula, and finally achieve the result he wanted.
Because the purple liquid not only contained the energy of red and blue crystals, but also mixed with a small amount of tyrannical dragon blood.
But now it seems that life itself is full of miracles, and anything can happen.
A kobold at the lower end of the Azeroth food chain has survived the terrifying evolution that compresses hundreds of thousands of years in a single moment, and is fully worthy of the word miracle.
Having eaten and drunk, the unknown kobold seemed to realize that he had undergone some indescribable change, and lowered his head and stared at his hands.
After two or three minutes, a scorching fire suddenly erupted in its hand, and before the caravan could react to what had happened, a hot fireball crashed into a tree on the side of the road.
Rumble!
After a loud bang, the cedar trees with the thickness of the bowl burned to the shape of char on the spot, and the pungent smell of paste stimulated everyone's sense of smell.
"Spell-like ability-fireball?" a hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes.
Under the influence of ubiquitous energy, many animals in Azeroth have evolved a myriad of spell-like abilities, such as the giant spider that can breathe fireballs in the Scorching Canyon, and the petrified lizards of Thorn Valley, Glitter Plains, and Tanaris.
Unlike spellcasters, these abilities require neither spells nor complex spell casting gestures, but are innate abilities that are infused into the bloodstream and can be released instantly with a single thought.
Obviously, this kobold in front of him was like this, judging by the change in the azure crystals when it released the spell, the fireball was not the only ability.
"Golden ...... Kinder...... Kinder is willing to serve the great ...... The kobold, who had survived, ...... fell to his knees and said in a stammering lingua franca.
It was not a fool, and understood that everything that had just happened was the work of the mage sitting on the horse, and decisively chose to give in.
"Interesting research material. Simon, take it to a shower in a moment. After that, Zhang Cheng ignored Old George's hot eyes, opened his notebook and began to sort out the experimental data obtained in the past few days.
There is no doubt that technologies like this, which can change the direction of life and make it more powerful, are absolutely disruptive and equally dangerous.
He will never do it on himself until he has a 100% success rate, but he will not stop researching either.
As for the "guinea pigs" used for consumption, as long as you use your brain a little, you can not have as many as you want......
