Chapter 1709 The Greenhouse Changes (1/2)
”What is this?” asked Xie Qing King, holding his nose and looking at the bodies and the liquids around them.
”They are creatures held for testing and experimentation. Some are prototypes of something else—like him.” Old Cat jumped toward one of the crystal tanks, and he spoke with eyes fixed on it.
Han Sen and Xie Qing King looked at Old Cat, and then observed the strange creatures contained within the tank.
Han Sen could not describe what it was. It looked like a human, but a bug at the same time. It had human limbs, but the head had the eyes of a fly, with the multitude of lenses.
And while the limbs were like a human's, the joints were those of bugs. It looked very weird.
”It's just a disgusting bug.” After Old Cat said that, he leaped onto the tank and began slapping it with a paw. He obviously intended to break it open.
”Are you ready? Dead or alive, it doesn't matter: behead the thing as soon as you are able to,” Old Cat said to Han Sen.
”Yes.” Han Sen was in agreement Pang!
The crystal tank broke, and the liquid and the bug man came spilling out.
Han Sen did not say a word. He simply summoned the white geno armor, and with his hand like a blade, struck the neck of the creature.
The hand, now clad in the gauntlets of the armor, made a metallic striking noise when it hit. Han Sen's power and geno armor had only been able to make a slight scuff on its neck.
Fortunately, the bug-man showed no reaction. It looked to be already dead. But just to be safe, Han Sen gave it another hundred cuts until he was able to break its shell.
The meat inside was like jam, and there was no blood. It looked like it had been dead for quite some time.
God knew how many times Han Sen had to hit it after that, but eventually, the head was lopped off. As he worked on it, he thought to himself, ”This thing is so tough! Thankfully, it is dead. If it wasn't, this would be quite a lot of trouble.”
”Han Sen, according to the terms of our deal, if it was dead when we found it, the item we came for belongs to me. You'll hold up your end of our bargain, correct?” Old Cat saw the bug-man's head fall off and quickly jumped on it to speak.
”Fine. Suit yourself.” Han Sen did not plan on stealing from him, so he just walked back a few steps and watched the Old Cat. He was keen to see what he was going to obtain.
Old Cat used his claws to scratch away at the bug-man's armor. A deep crack was instantly formed, and that gave Han Sen quite the shock.
Han Sen knew Old Cat was not weak, but the action it had just performed was rather shocking.
Even if Han Sen used the glove, he knew he'd have much trouble trying to break the shell. It wouldn't have been easy. Old Cat was certainly much stronger than he was letting on, and much stronger than Han Sen's own estimation.
Old Cat's claws were sharper than a surgeon's scalpel, that was for sure. In no time at all, he was peeling the creature open. And before long, pulled back a paw that was holding something green.
”What is that? A stone?” Han Sen looked right at the item in Old Cat's hands.
”Those are its guts.” Old Cat looked so happy to have obtained the jade-looking guts.
Han Sen didn't see where the cat put it, but he still asked, ”They look like rocks, not organs. What are they truly for?” Han Sen asked.
