Orochimaru must have researched the tailed beasts, knowing full well that they are energy bodies without any actual blood.
"It’s precisely because everyone believes there isn’t any that it becos precious."
Su Xiao took out a test tube. He had two vials of the Blood of Tailed Beast, having used one in a transaction with Kakuzu, leaving only one vial now.
The allure of the Blood of Tailed Beast for a scientist like Orochimaru was akin to a celibate man for years suddenly encountering a stunning beauty.
"I need to verify its authenticity."
Before Orochimaru could finish speaking, Su Xiao had already tossed the Blood of Tailed Beast toward him.
"With your experience, it shouldn’t be hard to authenticate this. I heard from other Akatsuki mbers that you are seeking eternal life? You might want to investigate the origins of the tailed beasts and how long they’ve existed. If you have the ability to transform your soul to take on the properties of a tailed beast, you could exist independently or reside within another person."
After listening to Su Xiao’s words, Orochimaru had a contemplative look on his face, without any ecstatic expression. This scientist had his own understanding and persistence, and he realized that Su Xiao’s suggestion was more of a hypothesis.
"An interesting hypothesis. I’ll hand the person over to you, release my subordinate later."
"Alright."
Being able to locate the violator without becoming enemies with Orochimaru was undoubtedly the best option.
"The person is in my laboratory. The situation is a bit special, not easy to bring out."
Su Xiao frowned. He was reluctant to enter Orochimaru’s lab, but Orochimaru’s expression didn’t seem like he was lying. Considering the man’s style and the violator’s peculiarity, that violator might have already beco a test subject.
"Is that person intact?"
"Barely."
Orochimaru laughed dryly twice, thinking that the violator might be Su Xiao’s friend or acquaintance.
"Is that so..."
Su Xiao contemplated for a mont. If Orochimaru turned against him once they were in his lab, with his sword technique and energy shield, he was confident in breaking through.
Having mastered Ring Break, Su Xiao no longer feared the Human Sea Tactic. As for Orochimaru himself, without being able to use ninjutsu, Orochimaru wasn’t particularly frightening, although his survival was incredibly persistent.
The Boundary Line was wrapped around Yakushi Kabuto’s neck, and Su Xiao was ready to head to Orochimaru’s lab with the hostage.
"Lord Orochimaru, my ear."
Dou spoke, and Orochimaru glanced at the ear on the ground. A snake slithered out from the forest, swallowing the ear whole, and Dou sighed in relief.
The three of them headed straight to a nearby lab. Orochimaru had many labs, and this was just one of the branches.
After circling in the forest a few tis, an underground cave appeared. Orochimaru liked to build his labs underground.
Entering the underground cave, a cold, damp feeling erged, which Su Xiao didn’t particularly like. Orochimaru, however, was very fond of it, being quite close to snakes.
Torches lined both sides of the hallway in the underground lab, and on either side were cells. The cell doors had a small opening, behind which were numb faces, individuals who stood at the door daily, instinctively yearning to leave.
"How are they? My creations aren’t bad, are they?"
These were all Orochimaru’s test subjects.
"Pardon my honesty, they’re nothing but cannon fodder."
Orochimaru laughed out loud, having heard enough flattery in his ti.
"Yes, cannon fodder, but it’s a necessary step in collecting data. Interested in joining my research?"
Orochimaru wasn’t aware of how strong Su Xiao’s scientific prowess was but was intrigued by Su Xiao’s identity and his combat strength.
"Join your research? Do you have any involvent in potions?"
Hearing Su Xiao’s question, Orochimaru was sowhat confused. He only valued Su Xiao’s status as an Akatsuki mber, which was quite convenient.
"Potions? So involvent."
Orochimaru didn’t think this close combat expert excelled in potion knowledge, so he casually responded, planning to use each other in the future.
Yes, mutual use. If both parties’ strengths were unequal, it would be one-sided use, but if not, then mutual use.
"This is my creation."
Su Xiao took out a bottle of Special level Alchemy Secret dicine. He wasn’t sure if Orochimaru had any expertise in pharmacology. If he did, so cost might be worthwhile to enhance pharmacology.
Orochimaru took the potion initially without interest, casually sniffing it. The faintly sweet fragrance caused a furrow in his brow.
Su Xiao could see Orochimaru’s disdain. He took back the potion from Orochimaru’s hand and poured so onto the wound on Yakushi Kabuto’s ear.
"Ah!"
Dou cried out miserably. The alchemy potion could be used externally, but it was painful — quite painful.
The bleeding from Dou’s ear stopped, and scabs ford after a dozen seconds.
"This..."
Orochimaru clearly hadn’t expected the alchemy potion to be so effective, sparking his interest in the Alchemy Secret dicine.
Though the World of Crimson was unmatched in alchemy compared to the Naruto World, the forr’s alchemy had progressed over tens of thousands of years through many generations.
The muscles on Dou’s face twitched, visibly struggling, and being treated as a test subject by two ruthless people left a large psychological shadow.
Dou inhaled deeply and forcibly tore off the scab on his ear, grimacing with pain. If the wound healed, his ear couldn’t be reattached.
"I’ll study this potion."
Orochimaru began to show interest in the alchemy potion.
"Do you think it’s possible?"
Su Xiao put away the Alchemy Secret dicine. He and Orochimaru weren’t even on working terms; expecting to gain the dicine without so exchange was sheer fantasy. The cost of a bottle of Special level Alchemy Secret dicine was 5000 Paradise coin.
Orochimaru licked his lips, aware he needed to offer so technology in exchange.
"Let’s complete our previous transaction."
By now, the three had reached the innermost part of the lab, and ahead was the room Orochimaru used for his regular experints.
"Let go, Orochimaru! One day, I’ll kill you! Face if you dare!"
"Orochimaru ********."
"Yakushi Kabuto, you ********."
The curses echoed, leaving no doubt this was the violator.
"Seems quite spirited."
"Hm."
Orochimaru wasn’t one for patience, especially with the violator’s obnoxious cursing.
Entering the lab, a burly man nearly two ters tall was restrained on an experintal table, his chest cut open, exposing internal organs, and his legs were already amputated.
Upon hearing soone enter the lab, the violator’s breathing grew rapid.
"Orochi...
The violator was about to speak when Su Xiao approached him.
"Who are you?"
Though bound to the operating table, there was no fear on the face of violator number 10001.
"No... This aura... a Hunter!"
The violator’s eyes widened, seemingly unable to accept the reality before him.
As soon as the violator spoke, a barrier enveloped the two, preventing anyone from hearing their conversation and keeping the characters unaware.
"Indeed, violators are special in certain ways, able to sense my identity."
Su Xiao’s words were inaudible to the violator, and likewise, he couldn’t hear anything the violator said.
He drew the Dragon Slash at his waist, and with a flash of blade light, the powerless violator’s head was severed.
Su Xiao had initially anticipated a tough battle, never expecting the guy to be so unlucky as to be caught by Orochimaru and used as a bargaining chip.
Upon the violator’s death, his body began to dissipate, a common occurrence executed by Reincarnation Paradise.
In an instant, the violator’s body vanished into smoke, leaving behind a chip on the experint table, faintly glowing with light gold.
