Chapter 557 (2/2)

“Will this work?” asked Ao and Zheng Luo, standing behind Shao Xuan.

“We’ll see.” Shao Xuan wasn’t sure either. Who knew if the blood would react with the bamboo or tree sap?

“Get one here.” Shao Xuan instructed Duo Kang.

Duo Kang scanned the beasts and took the fattest one there. It was the first one Shao Xuan had caught.

It didn’t have a round stomach anymore, it was much “skinnier” now. However, it was still much thicker than the other beasts.

‘If this works, we could spare the lives of the beasts. We still don’t know how much blood we need to use so it’s better to keep them alive. Seven may seem like a lot but what happens if we failed all the way? Do we have to return to the mountains to catch more?’ thought Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan squatted and looked at the bone structure of the beast. He guessed the placement of each organ. Then, he got a dagger and made a cut right at the beast’s breast while avoiding all the organs.

The cut wasn’t deep but just enough to break through some of the skin. Not much blood flowed out. He had to first slice through the toughest part of the skin so that the needle head wouldn’t snap.

Green blood flowed out and soon followed the sizzling sound of boiling water.

This was the first time Ao and the rest saw this special property of the blood.

Knowing that the beast had strong recovering abilities, Shao Xuan didn’t waste a second to stick the syringe in.

He stuck it in from a tilted angle with one hand and pulled the piston rod with the other. Although he couldn’t see the insides of the bamboo, if this invention worked properly, he would be able to feel the blood being sucked up.

When he felt the suction power, Shao Xuan felt relieved.

It was just a test so he only filled a third of the tube and took it out.

The cut was starting to heal as soon as Shao Xuan pulled the needle out. It took a lot of effort to pull the needle out, he almost broke it too.

When Shao Xuan pushed the piston, green drops of blood came out. It evaporated as soon as it appeared. The tube still had liquid in it so it meant the blood inside was still there.
