Abyss Summoner-Chapter 195 - 192: Sacrifice Experiment (Part 3)

Pain, distortion, miserable screams.

The scalding blood of the Red Flame Poison Scorpion flowed over the man's body, then seeped into him little by little through his pores. It was followed by even more terrifying pain, as if his body was expanding, even his skin, blood, and bones began to mutate. The man's hair color slowly changed from black to gray, as if his vitality was being drained away, evolving to the brink, and suddenly his head split open, followed by two scorpion pincers emerging.

The scene from just now lingered in front of his eyes.

The man underwent mutation and evolution, activating the bloodline of the Red Flame Poison Scorpion. However, due to the overwhelming will of the monster, his central nervous system was destroyed, resulting in his death.

His will was contaminated by the killing aura of the Red Flame Poison Scorpion. During the distortion, it was like two wills within him were vying for control over his body.

In the end, both the insect and the man perished, neither surviving.

Failure was a common occurrence in the experiment process. Although Chen Feng was mentally prepared, he still sighed.

Bad start.

This made his mood somewhat gloomy.

The man almost completed the mutation, and when he mastered the giant pincers of the Red Flame Poison Scorpion, his attack power would greatly increase. A single pinch could even cut steel in half.

But now...

Everything vanished into smoke within a few seconds, leaving behind a corpse with no chance of rescue.

Sacrifice is an extremely dangerous forbidden technique. During fusion, the biggest test is one's psychological resilience. A single slip could lead to irrevocable doom.

In such circumstances, death can be seen as a relief, but if the will of the Red Flame Poison Scorpion dominated the man's brain, that would be the real trouble.

In a sense, the Red Flame Poison Scorpion was dead, but its most basic instincts remained, and the man's behavior would entirely turn into that of an insect—bloodthirsty, brutal, and fond of carrion, even not recognizing family and seeing them as food, devouring them alive.

"Next one."

Chen Feng's indifferent voice echoed in the room. Even though people died, the experiment needed to continue. After a while, a young man walked in.

"Failure."

"Failure."

"Failure."

Following this, three people consecutively died during the sacrifice, apart from the usual sudden death competing for consciousness with the monster, one person's mind had been completely occupied by the monster. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The test subject lay on the ground, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty hue, no longer with the reverence from before the sacrifice. His consciousness was destroyed, and even if a legendary healer could purify the consciousness in his brain, once purified, the test subject would become a block of wood, devoid of any thought.

Long pain is less than short pain.

Compared to living forever in such solitude, it's better to die sooner. For this reason, Chen Feng immediately ended his life, freeing him from chaos.

Following the deaths of four people during the sacrifice, Chen Feng's expression grew increasingly somber, clearly not in a good mood.

Perhaps sensing Chen Feng's displeasure, during the fifth fusion process, the test subject finally succeeded and integrated the monster's abilities into his body.

He called himself Thunder, in the apocalypse, survivors, for various reasons, abandoned their names and adopted titles to live their lives, a way to forget the past.

Thunder wasn't tall, only about 1.68 meters, but he was quite muscular. In peaceful times, he had fought underground boxing for a living for a few years.

Underground boxing.

A private underground boxing match differs from formal matches with its multiple rules. Underground boxing has one purpose—to defeat the enemy.

Underground boxing has no rules; throat, groin, chest, these areas aren't considered fouls. It relies on bloodiness and brutality to attract viewers' attention, so people being killed or getting killed in underground boxing were commonplace.

Perhaps due to being in such dark places for a long time, Thunder's will was far stronger than others, eventually killing the monster's thoughts, becoming the first successful mutated test subject.

Thunder fused with a creature called the Red Elemental Turtle, whose defense power was astonishing. In dangerous situations, it would retract into its turtle shell to resist enemy attacks.

However, in the sacrifice slaughter, the Red Elemental Turtle's defense didn't hold, turning into a pool of flesh in just a few minutes, then adheres to Thunder's body, causing his flesh to seep into Thunder's body at that moment, initiating his mutation.

His skin turned deep green, webbed feet grew from his soles, and his back sprouted a round shell, making him seem like a humanoid Red Elemental Turtle.

Meat shield!

This time Thunder's body underwent great transformations. Even without Insect Armor gear, his body alone could resist cuts, and the shell on his back could withstand even more terrifying attacks.

He completely transformed.

His deep green skin seemed to be covered with keratin, even his hair fell strand by strand, turning him into a bald figure, without a trace of humanity left.

There's no free lunch in the world.

This is the price of mutation.

Losing the human appearance added to life security, it's hard to evaluate whether it's right or wrong.

For Thunder, he seemed calm about the change, only showing slight surprise before his facial expression returned to normal.

His behavior made one wonder what kind of blow he had suffered, which made him so eager for power, disregarding the changes in his body.

Chen Feng didn't inquire further. Everyone has their own secrets, and why the other accepted the sacrifice wasn't Chen Feng's focus. His concern was with the current abilities.

During the mutation, his feet even grew webbed.

In this case.

He held remarkable aquatic skills, hard to threaten within river water, due to his astonishing defense abilities, some mutated fish and shrimp couldn't penetrate his skin.

Rivers are also food sources.

Fish and shrimp inside mutate into over a meter long, if caught, they could definitely sustain more survivors.

The place where they encountered the ogres was still an unclaimed land, sending Thunder to investigate there would be the perfect choice.

The sacrifice wasn't over yet, but Chen Feng had a trace of fatigue in his spiritual power. After resting for a while and consuming a large amount of royal jelly, he continued the sacrifice until finishing all the experiments by evening.

Thirteen people.

Ultimately only three succeeded.

An alarming number!

During the experiment process, ten people lost their lives, turning into broken corpses.

Chen Feng took a deep breath.

Throughout history, every exploration comes with death happening, ten people died in the experiment, inevitably heavy on the heart, but from another perspective, three survived.

This signifies that Order has three more professionals, supplementing the shortage in advanced combat power.
