Chapter 825 Mutation
The water monkey was also known as the water ghost. However, everyone was a little frightened when they heard Red Bull’s words. Wasn’t this something from the legends? Was there really such a thing?
“Ah…”
At this moment, Yellow Ox, who was brought back to the sh.o.r.e, suddenly let out a series of shrill screams. Everyone looked over and saw that this iron-like man was actually rolling on the ground in pain. The shoulder that had been touched by the water monkey just now was now pitch-black. It looked like it had been charred. Was he poisoned?
“Is he poisoned?”
Seeing that their companion was in trouble, everyone was very anxious. Red Bull and a few others even went forward to press him down to prevent him from struggling so much.
But it was useless.
The three men made a move, but Yellow Ox actually managed to break free. Not only was his entire body flushed red, blue veins popped out.
“Kill me, quickly kill me… Ah…”
Yellow Ox was screaming non-stop. Yan Kuan shouted at their accompanying physician, Dark 15,”High-level tranquilizer, chop off the injured arm if necessary.”
“Yes”
High-level tranquilizer. Even an elephant could fall asleep in a few seconds after being injected.
Seeing people slowly calm down and lying on the ground in a coma, everyone did not know what to do for a moment.
“These water monkeys can’t leave the water.”
Sure enough, they were clearly not far away, but none of the water monkeys rushed up at this time.
“Boss, is his arm really going to be chopped
off?”
“Kill all the rotten meat. If it rots to the bone, chop it all off.”
Yan Kuan’s voice was like a stream of cold water that splashed on everyone’s head.
No matter how bold Shen Xiaoxiao was, when she saw the increasing number of water monkeys in the water, she was extremely shocked.
Unlike plants like the man-eating flowers, these things were clearly monsters with flesh and blood and life. They would rather deal with the animals they knew, whether it was a magnified version of a snake, a panda, or a fox… even if it was a man-eating flower. They did not want to deal with the so-called water monkeys and water ghosts in front of them.
“We can’t cross the lake if it’s blocked. Let’s take a break for now and retreat a hundred meters.”
This was Yan Kuan’s last order. If they attacked now, they were afraid that the water monkeys would smell the blood and attack them.
Everyone moved quickly. They took a deep look at the situation on the surface of the water and slowly retreated with solemn expressions.
High-level tranquilizers, anesthetics, and a simple operating table.
There was a big pit next to it. A small fire was lit in the pit. Dark 15 gently cut open Yellow Ox’s clothes, revealing a large piece of burnt and rotten skin on his arm.
“Throw the rotten meat directly into the fire. The two of you press down hard on his legs. Red Bull, Dark 2, the other arm should also be pressed tightly.” Yan Kuan was like the backbone who commanded this seemingly simple surgery, but in reality, no one had ever performed it before.
He held Blue Demon in his hand. As soon as he saw any signs of erosion of the sc.r.a.ped rotten meat, he would immediately cut off the spreading area. Blue Demon was more than twice as fast as this scalpel at the critical
moment.
Dark 15’s movements were not slow. He was wearing gloves. Of course, he was required by Yan Kuan to wear at least three layers. Although his fingers were not that flexible, he was indeed not afraid of any contact.
After sc.r.a.ping away a layer of rotten meat, Yellow Ox began to move. Such a powerful tranquilizer had no effect on him at this moment. He seemed to be gradually waking up.
The anesthetic was no longer effective. Fortunately, they were prepared beforehand. Everyone pressed him down tightly, not even his head was spared.
“Move quickly.”
Yan Kuan spoke again. This time, Dark 15 was no longer sc.r.a.ping layer by layer. Instead, he used all his strength to dig down at least three centimeters deep. With a fierce dig, another lump of black meat was thrown into the fire.
The people standing at the side even saw the burnt black meat rolling violently when it was thrown into the fire.
This scene became even more terrifying. “Boss? This…”
Even after three inches, there was still no tender meat. It was still pitch black.
Everyone looked at the movement, while Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yellow Ox’s four limbs.
Because they had to perform surgery on Yellow Ox’s left hand, the one holding his left hand was Dark 4. At this moment, no one noticed.
Shen Xiaoxiao pulled Dark 4 and 15 over and threw them back. She shouted at Yan Kuan,”Chop off his hand.” Shen Xiaoxiao’s words were like an imperial edict. Yan Kuan did not even think about it and directly took action.
Kacha!
“Ah…”
Yellow Ox woke up and his arm was chopped off.
The bright red liquid was directly cut off from the shoulder blade.
Holding the chopped off arm, it was kicked into the fire by Shen Xiaoxiao.
At this time, everyone could see clearly why Shen Xiaoxiao had asked Yan Kuan to make a move.
It turned out that Yellow Ox’s arm had actually become like the water monkey from before. Not only was it suddenly covered in black fur, but there were also fingernails growing out from his fingers. This was a mutation.
When the bright red blood flowed out, they also saw that the cut had just cut off a section of the green liquid. If it had been a few seconds later, not only would the arm have been cut off, half of the body would have been destroyed. “What are you still standing there for? Stop the bleeding!”
Yellow Ox let out a cry and completely fainted. The arm that was struggling on the bonfire seemed to be extremely afraid of the burning of the fire. From the beginning, it struggled desperately. At this moment, it slowly withered and burned into charcoal.
“Bury it in the soil and retreat another 100 meters.”
Yan Kuan ordered again. He took a deep look at the lake that was covered by the woods in the distance.
After all, there was blood. Even if they buried it, they did not dare to let down their guard.
The secret guards immediately cleaned up the blood and the green liquid that was left behind. The others looked at Dark 15 who was treating Yellow Ox’s wound.
Seeing the red blood printed on the gauze, they were slightly relieved.
Although he had lost his arm, his life was saved in the end. Fortunately, they had acted decisively. Fortunately, Yan Kuan’s wife had discovered it early.
“Boss, thank you so much for what you did just now.”
“We are all brothers. You are welcome. At that time, your attention was not on his hands. Of course, you would not have noticed. I only reacted when I saw his fingernails suddenly grow longer.” After Dark 15 finished treating his wound, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was too dangerous. Fortunately, Boss pulled him away. Otherwise, if he had been grabbed by that hand, he would have been the second one to be infected. This was even more terrifying than a mutated species.
“It’s good that everyone is fine.”
“Thank you for saving Yellow Ox’s life.”
“Alright, let’s not talk about such pretentious things. Now let’s discuss what we should do next. After all, we still have to move forward. The most important thing now is to get rid of the illusion.”
