Chapter 4: Shadow Servants
Within the inn
The room had been completely filled by a massive workbench and all kinds of research equip fro so that it appeared as if it were still daytime
A bandit lay on the research workbench, completely powerless Su Chen held a needle in his hand, slowly carving so process originated from the Ferocious Race’s body inscriptions, which were improved by Ancient Arcana Techniques This made them even more complicated and mysterious
Of note was that the person whose body was being engraved on couldn’t feel the slightest bit of pain – Su Chen had finally succeeded in creating a nu medicine
After three hours, Su Chen’s experi nine needles of various sizes, Su Chen had engraved an intricate tattoo on the bandit’s entire body; almost every area of skin had been covered with thick black ink When the light shone on those engravings, there was actually no reflection of light, as if they were unfathomably deep
Su Chen examined the bandit’s internal condition carefully and nodded, saying, “Theto soak into the in to take effect”
As Su Chen spoke, he watched as the bandit suddenly began to tre through him
Su Chen pulled open the bandit’s eyelids, only to find that his eyes had rolled into the back of his head
After inspecting the bandit’s internal condition, Su Chen knitted his eyebrows and said, “TheHis body isn’t able to withstand it, so I have to decrease the th next time”
The bandit spas motionless
He had died
“Iron Cliff, practice dissecting him,” Su Chen said
Su Chen didn’t even want to waste their corpses They would be good practice for Iron Cliff
“Got it!” Iron Cliff walked over and carefully pulled out a surgical knife, then began to dissect the corpse under Su Chen’s direction, identifying and studying the organs one by one
The Cliff Race wasn’t the ent, but that didn’t mean they were imbeciles In the past, they never had much of an opportunity to study due to their low social status Iron Cliff knew very deeply how aiven, so he studied diligently and with great focus
At dawn, Su Chen hopped onto a carriage, then continued to take the hostages with hi out for the distant Clear River They still had quite a journey ahead of the the day, Su Chen would research which coht he would perfor If it wasn’t that he had used too redient, which had begun to erode their body; or, he had created an energy i itself; etc, etc
There were so many reasons for failure that Su Chen was basically discovering a new one every day
Slowly but surely, however, Su Chen was able to fix these reasons for failures Eventually, there was no ive way to success
Su Chen continued his experiet Once the last needle had gone in, a black glow began to ean to suffuse fro amount of power
Next, an incredible scene appeared before their eyes
The bandit’s figure began to slowly fade before it co this, Su Chen revealed a smile “Finally, success”
“I…… I…… What did you do tohis illusory body The instant the experiment had finished, the bandit had broken free of his restraints, finally regaining his freedom
“Don’t be afraid Draw in your consciousness and feel the energy in your body Try and control the way it’sin your body, and your body will reappear……”
Under Su Chen’s instruction, the bandit’s figure reappeared
