Chapter 346 Fairy or Demon

Wang An stretched out his fingers and made several sounds, and the cloth tore. The robe on the man's body immediately tore apart and turned into dozens of pieces, revealing his body.

There were stitched scars all over his body. There was also a missing piece on his limbs, abdomen, and chest. It was knocked off by Wang An's palm, and the strands of flesh were melting in the gap. It was as if this man's body had undergone a major surgical operation.

“Is this the case that ancient people began to conduct research on surgery?”

Just now, Wang An didn't slap this man to death with one palm, just because he found a strange aura on his body.

This man kept struggling, and thick blood continued to flow from the wound. His struggles became less and less intense.

Wang An’s palm just now had already broken this man’s heart. Although that palm did not activate the Wuji Qi, it was still of great importance.

The man's mouth was still closing, making strange noises, but not a single clear word came out.

A moment later, Wang An pressed it with one hand, and there was a crunching sound. All the bones in the man's body shattered. As soon as Wang An let go, his whole body immediately collapsed to the ground, like a puddle of mud.

Wang An walked around the alchemy room and found that there were two passages leading to other places. He chose one of them and walked more than three meters to a door that blocked him.

He raised his hand and opened the door.

There is a house inside, which is not dark. There is light shining in from above, and it is spread evenly inside through a special device. There are several flowerpots placed on the table in the room, several more than one and a half meters high. jar.

 Looking closer, I saw that there was soil in the flower pot, and dry plants, as well as in the pot on the side.

 “Are you going to plant crops here?”

Wang An looked at the flowerpot and looked around. There was a glorious bluestone platform beside it, the same as the one in the alchemy room outside.

The layout and furnishings here looked ordinary, but Wang An found it a little strange.

Sensing that there was no living thing in the room, he was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the flowerpot, raised his hand and flicked his fingers, there was a crisp sound, the flowerpot shattered, and the broken pieces fell on the ground. On the table, the soil inside was scattered.

That is?

 After seeing what was inside, Wang An was stunned.

  There is a skull faintly visible behind the scattered soil, which is a human skull.

Wang An walked closer, waved his hand, and the dirt fell. After leaning for a while, a complete skull fell in front of Wang An's eyes. There was a hole on the top of the skull, and there were cracks around the skull. The dry thing grew out of the hole.

 “Use human heads to grow plants?”

 He then broke a flower pot next to it, which still contained a human head and skull, and three flower pots in succession, all containing human heads and skulls.

　　These skulls should not have been skeletons when they were placed in the flower pots, but a complete human head. They might even have just been taken from a living person.

 First break the skull open, and then plant the seeds of the plant into the brain. The seeds will germinate and grow inside, absorbing the brain marrow in the process.

Then he waved his hand casually, and with a bang, the jar over one and a half meters next to him shattered. After the soil inside spilled, a skeleton was revealed, a whole skeleton. Every bone of this skeleton was wrapped with plants. The roots are so densely packed that it makes one’s head feel numb.

“A whole skeleton was planted using human corpses? No, it might be planted using living people!” Wang An thought of a possibility.

　　The seeds are planted in the body of a living person, and then his body is sealed in this jar. Plants are grown using his body as nourishment, supplemented by a small amount of soil.

“Human experiments are so cruel. Is this what immortals do?”

Wang An looked at the skulls and skeletons in front of him.

 “What are they growing?”

Hmm, Wang An turned his head and looked aside.

 “Is there anyone else?”

Just now he heard footsteps, very light footsteps, as light as a cat.

With a flash, Wang An disappeared. The next moment he appeared in the outside room and saw the man standing at the door.

Wearing a monk's robe, he looks to be in his fifties, but there are snake-like scales on the left side of his face, accounting for one-third of his entire face, which looks very weird.

 The aura he exudes is quite powerful.

 “Test subject?”

“Are you from outside the island?” Seeing Wang An suddenly appear in front of his eyes, the man was stunned and immediately asked.

His voice was a little strange, hoarse but with a heavy nasal sound, as if his throat had been injured.

 “Such a powerful aura, he will definitely like it.” The man murmured to himself.

“How long have you been on this island?” Wang An stared at the person in front of him. The zhenqi in his body had dispersed into the surrounding air, communicating with the nearby energy. He had locked onto the person in front of him.

 “How long, I can’t even remember clearly, two hundred years, three hundred years, or even longer.”

 “How many people are there on this island?”

"I don't know how many people there are. I'm only at the bottom of the mountain, and some people are on the mountain. I haven't been up there for a long time." When he said this, the man looked up at the mist-shrouded mountains in the distance.

 “What’s going on with the alchemy room here?”

“The alchemy room is naturally a place for refining elixirs.”

 “What do they use to make elixirs?” Wang An then asked.

"Well, they used a lot of things. At first, they used some precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. Later, they started to try other things, such as snakes, fish, dragons, and monkeys. Then they started to try to use humans. Refining elixirs.”

This person answered all the questions raised by Wang An and was very cooperative.

 “Refining elixirs to seek immortality?”

"nature."

“What about you, why are you like this?”

The atmosphere of the conversation between the two of them was very harmonious. Every time they asked and answered questions, they seemed like two old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

"I, of course, want to live longer." The man stroked his face as he spoke. When his palms touched those scales, his face became ferocious.

"They are liars, **** liars, they deceived me and turned me into a monster!" The man's tone became urgent.

"What they didn't expect was that most of them were dead, but I was still alive."

 “How did they die?”

“Backlash, the backlash of the elixir, they thought they had refined a perfect elixir, but unfortunately, God did not fulfill their wishes, and the elixir seemed perfect, but in fact it was fatal.

 They began to have physical problems one after another after taking the elixir. One death after another, a very painful death, the skin of a baby was as dry as an old tree, the hair withered like winter grass, and then the body festered, like carrion thrown in a smelly ditch. In the end, one by one their bodies festered and died, with only a few exceptions. "

 “Is there anyone still alive?”

“Yes, on the mountain.” The man raised his hand and pointed to the mist-shrouded mountain peak.

“They successfully used the power of the sacred tree to contain the collapse of their bodies, but they were restricted and could not leave the sacred tree and had to stay on the mountain.”

"Sacred tree? What is a sacred tree?" Wang An was slightly startled when he heard this word.

“An ancient tree, a date tree, maybe it has been growing there since the moment this island appeared. It can bear fiery red fruits. Eating one will make your whole body warm, and it can also cure injuries and illnesses.”
