Chapter 808 Attracting Disaster (2/2)
Despite the folly of their actions, they did look far stronger following their injections and subsequent transformation into what Han Sen had dubbed a blood-horn shura. For a while, they were able to maintain their position but still, they were unable to slay the goose that had descended upon them. That being said, the goose was unable to totally destroy the camp now, too.
The elites amongst them that had opened their gene locks did not use the medicine, and they instead took off after Wang Yuhang in the desire of capturing him once more.
Han Sen watched what was going on for a while, and it seemed as if no damage was being dealt to the wild goose. They seemed to be running out of patience, and so one of the elites injected themselves with the concoction.
Within seconds, the man's muscles expanded by a vast amount. The person's head grew a horn and his lifeforce made a great leap in power.
Pang!
The man's body burst into flames. He threw his fist forward towards the white goose and incinerated a portion of the white goose's plumage.
”Impossible!” Han Sen's face was one of utter shock. The man had dealt elemental damage through the manner of a projectile. Only celestial beings were supposedly capable of doing such a thing.
Although the man had unlocked his gene lock, he was far away from achieving such a level. Therefore, how was he able to do what he had just done?
”What in the world is that medicine?” Han Sen wondered, with distraught surprise. The white goose wasn't heavily injured, but after the fire-power-imbued man joined the fight with all the other blood-horn shura, it was quickly put at a disadvantage.
The white goose, seeing its sudden inability to win the battle, cried out and flew away. The people were unable to catch up with it, and so they could do little but watch it go.
Before Han Sen could comprehend the situation, he realized he had done naught but watch the events unfold with his jaw wide open. Although the people weren't too difficult to kill, the entire fact that they had willingly transformed themselves into blood-horn shura frightened Han Sen.
But before he did anything, like killing them, Han Sen knew he'd have to collect intel and find out more about them first.
Wang Yuhang, in the meantime, had been beaten up by the elites and thrown back into a cage.
Luckily, despite his egregious luck, Wang Yuhang was not a dumb person. Although he was back at square one, he didn't call out for Han Sen's aid, and it seemed his kidnappers were still unaware of the presence of other people on the Empty Island.
Han Sen continued to watch them from afar, committed to gathering as much information about them as he could. They beat up Wang Yuhang, but not by a large amount. It was clear to him that they wanted him for a particular purpose. Despite his attraction of the super creature and the fatalities that ensued, they only locked him up instead of killing him.
After a while, however, Han Sen noticed something interesting. The people who used the medicine started to look like ordinary humans after about an hour.
When they returned to looking like regular humans again, they looked weak. They didn't seem to be doing too well.
”It would appear that drug has negative side effects for its users. That aside, the transformation itself does not seem to last very long,” Han Sen talked to himself.
The serum seemed to last much longer on the man who had unlocked his gene lock, however. For him to look like an average human again, it took two hours.
But he too now looked weaker than usual. He looked pale, as if he were drained of energy. He went inside a tent to rest.
Han Sen used his dongxuan aura to observe them. Their lifeforces had become much weaker, and their fitness had dropped below one hundred.
”Manager Qu, Wang Yuhang's problems extend beyond mere bad luck. In his short time with us, he has caused us much trouble. We have sustained many losses, and I am afraid our army will be wasted before that thing comes out.” Two people were engaged in discussion, inside the leader's tent.
Han Sen bent his ear their way, thinking he might pick up a thing or two of interest.
