Chapter 122 - Liquid Bomb (2/2)

Wei Huo’s hands were quick and accurate. Soon, a few pieces of useless muscles had been cut off by Wei Huo. He then saw a ball of flesh that was connected to the black tube. One part of this ball was connected to the spine, while the other was connected to the heart.

The self-exploding sheep’s heartbeat began to weaken. If the heartbeat of the self-exploding sheep stopped, the tube would self-destruct. If the ball of flesh was severed from the spine, the tube would self-destruct as well.

Although the self-exploding device could be triggered easily, Wei Huo had a solution.

“A few hundred years have passed, but the triggering device still hasn’t changed.” Wei Huo took out another bronze knife as he spoke. He then took a deep breath and used his hunting knife to cut the connection point between the self-exploding pipe and the ball of flesh.

The hunting knife was sharp. With just a soft touch, the exposed sheep’s muscles were cut open. However, at that moment, Wei Huo’s other hand grabbed the bronze knife and cut.

The knife cut the blood vessel that connected the ball of flesh and the heart.

Click! When the knife landed, a faint sound of collision came from the ball. A moment later, a ‘return’ needle shot out of the ball. The needle hit the front end of the black tube at an extremely fast speed. At that moment, Wei Huo attacked as well.

He only turned the hunting knife’s blade 90 degrees diagonally before the needle hit the knife’s blade.

Crack! The sound of bones breaking could be heard. It turned out that the ‘return’ needle was a small bone hidden in a ball of flesh. The bone was aimed at the front of the black light. If the collision was successful, it would trigger an explosion.

The two halves of the bone needle were split into two. The two halves then pierced the walls of flesh at an extremely fast speed. Since the needle was blocked, the self-exploding device in the sheep’s body could not be detonated.

Wei Huo took out the black tube after he was done. He shook it and realized that it actually contained liquid.

Was it a liquid bomb?

Wei Huo was not sure what it was, nor could he believe a sheep had been born into a creature’s body. However, creatures could work miracles sometimes.

Wei Huo arrived above a small waterfall with the black self-exploding pipe. He planned to test the power of the self-exploding pipe again. He already knew how to use it. He just needed to ram the front end of the self-exploding pipe.

“Don’t come over. I’ll conduct an experiment!” Wei Huo told the others. He picked up the self-exploding device and aimed it at a stone under the waterfall.

The self-exploding tube was smashed into the waterfall and hit the stone. Then, Wei Huo heard a faint ding!

A moment later, an extremely terrifying explosion took place in the self-exploding tube. A ray of fire soared into the sky, and a terrifying shockwave shattered the surrounding stones. Hot air waves attacked one after another, and the small pond under the waterfall instantly vaporized due to the high temperature. Steam gradually rose, and the air emitted a pungent smell.

The terrifying explosion startled everyone. They had not expected the self-exploding tube in Wei Huo’s hand to be so powerful. The sleeping Tree-Man was awakened as well. He slowly opened his eyes and asked, “What happened? Was there an attack?”

The Tree-Man seemed very calm. His long history made him unafraid of any challenges.

Wei Huo said, “It’s alright. I just conducted an experiment.”

The Tree-Man said, “It’s okay if you conducted an experiment. If you are attacked, please wake me up. I…”

Wei Huo said, “I built a traveling caravan. We’re about to leave. Are you planning to join us? If you do, you might have to follow my orders.”

The Tree-Man thought for a long time and said, “It’s about time. You’re older than me and stronger than me. Plus, you saved my life. I should listen to your arrangements.”

Wei Huo was speechless. He was not as old as the Tree-Man, but since the Tree-Man had said so, he would not explain.

Other than Wei Huo, who had the translation system, no one else could understand what the Tree-Man was talking about. Sometimes, the Tree-Men talked as though they were roaring, with loud and terrifying sounds. However, other times, their words were like leaves blown by the wind. They were light and pleasant to the ear.

That was probably what the sounds produced by the Tree-Man’s unique voice were like.
