Chapter 230: Obtaining Intelligence
Inside the originally clean and brightly lit laboratory, glaring blood slowly flowed across the floor. The Blood Beast had been perfectly dissected by Zhou Ming along the gaps between its muscles.
The structure of the Blood Beast’s internal organs, as well as the traces left behind by the circulation of energy particles, were all morized one by one in Zhou Ming’s mind.
According to his habit, this knowledge would later be organized and recorded into the corresponding archives for preservation.
Zhou Ming had no background and had not joined any faction. The only way he could obtain knowledge was by accumulating it bit by bit on his own.
Whether the Blood Beast could bring him benefits or not, accumulating more knowledge was never a bad thing.
Just as Zhou Ming was studying the hemolytic venom within the Blood Beast’s oral venom sac, the demonic-looking man who had been tossed aside gradually regained consciousness.
When the mories in his mind resurfaced, he endured the intense pain brought by the spiritual backlash and instantly rose from the ground.
The first thing he saw was the Blood Beast he had painstakingly nurtured, now already chopped into pieces by Zhou Ming.
“Awake? Looks like the recovery ability of the Crimson Apostle is quite impressive.”
Zhou Ming turned his head and glanced at the demonic-looking man before shifting his attention back to the hemolytic venom he was currently preparing.
He was attempting to see what effect would occur if he fused the Blood Beast’s hemolytic venom with snake venom.
As for the demonic-looking man who had awakened behind him, Zhou Ming seed not to regard him as a threat at all.
“Which faction are you from? What are you trying to do? Do you really intend to tear apart relations with our Dark Card Organization?”
Facing Zhou Ming’s indifferent tone, the demonic-looking man endured the sharp pain in his mind and questioned him in a deep voice.
In his view, the fact that Zhou Ming had not killed him directly ant that he still feared the organization behind him.
“It was your Dark Card Organization that ca looking for trouble with again and again. How did it beco that I am the one with ulterior motives?”
Zhou Ming let out a cold laugh while fiddling with the test tube in his hand.
“Since you ca looking for trouble, then leave behind the knowledge in your mind about the Crimson Apostle, as well as intelligence about the Dark Card Organization.”
Zhou Ming had already inspected the other party’s spatial storage equipnt. Apart from Source Crystal Coins and so precious materials, there was nothing particularly valuable.
Judging by the situation, he had most likely just advanced to Crimson Apostle.
After all, if he were a veteran Crimson Apostle, the treasures he carried with him would certainly not be limited to this.
However, compared to the external wealth on the other party, Zhou Ming valued far more the various pieces of intelligence and precious knowledge hidden deep within his mind.
Although, due to the lack of key items such as an Inheritance Scroll, the most core secrets of the Crimson Apostle might not be obtainable, even acquiring only part of the relevant information would still be extrely valuable to Zhou Ming.
“You are provoking the wrath of the two Ghost Kings of our Dark Card Organization. If you don’t let go today, the strong ones within the organization will co knocking at your door. Don’t think we don’t know where your lair is.”
After hearing Zhou Ming’s reason for not killing him directly, the demonic-looking man appeared unusually furious. However, the flicker in his eyes could not conceal the panic within his heart.
He had already understood from Zhou Ming’s words that he would not leave this place alive.
Various thoughts surged through his mind. The demonic-looking man had even prepared himself for mutual destruction.
Although he had lost the Blood Beast he had cultivated, if he burned his Spiritual Power at the cost of his life, he could unleash strength even greater than at his peak—
Yet just as he was about to mobilize his Spiritual Power, his face suddenly turned even paler, because an invisible force had already locked down his Spiritual Power.
“Don’t waste your effort. Your Spiritual Power and the residual strength in your body have already been sealed by .”
Sensing the demonic-looking man’s movent, Zhou Ming’s cold and emotionless voice sounded by his ear.
Although the portion regarding the Transcendent Master in the Half-Beastman Class Advancent materials was incomplete, it still recorded precious knowledge related to sealing.
Even if the other party were at full strength, it would be extrely difficult to break through the seal Zhou Ming had ticulously arranged, let alone in his current half-crippled state.
Upon hearing this, a look of despair imdiately appeared on the demonic-looking man’s face.
“As a mber of the Dark Card Organization, you should understand that there are differences in the ways of death.”
“If you are unwilling to speak, I don’t mind retrieving my losses from your body. I hope you can make your decision before I finish preparing the poison.”
Zhou Ming stopped the preparation of the toxin in his hands and turned around, gazing coldly at the demonic-looking man as if examining a specin.
After his words fell, the preparation of the toxin continued. The sound of liquid flowing seed exceptionally piercing at this mont.
It was like a countdown to death, steadily devouring the demonic-looking man’s sanity.
“N-No, you can’t do this. Aren’t you afraid of Transcendent-level experts making a move against you?”
Zhou Ming’s words were like a cold wind from the abyss. Even as a Professional Beast Tar, the demonic-looking man’s heart was filled with fear in the face of the situation before him.
There was a saying, “Only the one who wronged you knows how wronged you truly are.”
Likewise, being from the Dark Card Organization, he naturally understood how miserable the outco of human experintation could be.
Looking at the Blood Beast organs and tissues placed around him, as well as the cold laboratory before his eyes, the demonic-looking man appeared as wretched as a beggar by the roadside.
His once handso face was now covered with gri and exhaustion, and his eyes revealed despair and helplessness.
Just as his limp body tried to crawl toward Zhou Ming’s feet like a maggot, begging for rcy, a black shadow shot out like lightning and firmly restrained him—it was Inkband, whose body length had already reached five ters.
“Spare , spare …”
Staring at Zhou Ming’s back, the demonic-looking man’s eyes were vacant as he instinctively pleaded.
However, Zhou Ming seed not to hear his pleas. All his attention was focused on the changes produced by the fusion of hemolytic venom and snake venom.
At this mont, in the demonic-looking man’s eyes, the figure before him was like a cold mountain peak.
…
Three hours later, a cold corpse appeared in the laboratory. The demonic-looking man’s eyes had turned hollow, though a trace of relief remained—along with the look of soone who had finally been freed after inner tornt.
Zhou Ming chose to properly preserve the demonic-looking man’s corpse.
He had promised that the man would not die in unbearable pain, but he had never promised to spare his corpse.
However, compared to studying the corpse, Zhou Ming had sothing more important to do—destroy the Dark Card Organization’s stronghold near Qinghui Base.
Since the other party had co to capture the Snake Guards and had not returned for a long ti, the Dark Card Organization would inevitably co searching.
Therefore, Zhou Ming intended to destroy their nearby stronghold before they could react, preventing further trouble from finding its way to him.
As for the two Transcendent-level leaders within the Dark Card Organization, given the current situation in the Panlong Mountain Range, it was impossible for them to co personally to investigate at this ti.
The Alliance would never allow Transcendent-level experts from the Shadow World to appear at Qinghui Base under such circumstances.
After cleaning up the laboratory and freezing the demonic-looking man’s corpse, Zhou Ming finally removed his clothes and walked toward the first floor.
