Chapter 70 - 70 70 Special Evolver

70: Chapter 70 Special Evolver 70: Chapter 70 Special Evolver Second floor. The moment the woman appeared, Xu Huo raised the toy gun and sprayed flames. When the fire burst into light, she was seen twirling in the air in her red dress, landing on the wall like a gecko and moving swiftly as if on flat ground, suddenly pouncing towards Huang Junjie behind Xu Huo! Huang Junjie stepped back repeatedly, seemingly unable to put distance between them and resorted to swinging the bamboo sword wildly. Just as he was about to be tackled, he suddenly crouched, letting her pass over his head. It was then that Xu Huo followed up, aiming the fire gun at her face and spraying flames! The woman screeched as she flipped onto the top of the wall, quickly scurrying into the next room. Xu Huo pursued her, and with a flick of two fingers, the Omnipresent Strings clamped onto her ankle and embedded firmly into the concrete. He opened his lighter, shouting “Ignite” several times, and in no time flames covered the woman, rapidly engulfing her entire body! “You damn man, I’ll skin you alive!” Cao Yan hadn’t expected to take such a nasty fall right from the start. Trapped by her right foot and suffering intense pain from the burns, she lacked the strength to cling to the roof and hung upside down. Seeing this, Huang Junjie immediately moved behind her, but before he could stab down with his bamboo sword, Cao Yan twisted her head around and spat something at him with a “pfft.” The sticky liquid immediately formed white foam upon contact with skin. Huang Junjie held his face, howling in agony. Unexpectedly, the liquid was so corrosive that it even melted the skin on his hands. He fell to the ground, and when his hand accidentally touched the floor, it stuck to it! “Ding!” Xu Huo used his lighter for illumination, and as the light shone, he caught sight of Huang Junjie lifting his hand, ripping off a layer of skin and flesh! Xu Huo quickly poured two bottles of Self-Healing Potion into his mouth, and only when he saw the corrosion slow down did he slightly relax. Laughter came from behind, and as he turned around, he saw the woman’s face twisted in ferocity, “Once my poison touches him, he’s as good as dead!” Xu Huo raised the Dragon-Shaped Toy Gun, his expression blank as he said, “In that case, there’s no point in sparing your life.” Cao Yan paused and then said coldly, “If you want the antitoxin, let me go first. I might consider it.” Xu Huo looked at her intently for a few seconds and then, pressing the toy gun into her mouth, picked up Huang Junjie’s bamboo sword and slashed her wrist. “Want to negotiate terms? Fine.” After drawing blood, he retreated and stared at the woman, “I have all the time in the world. It’s not a problem for me to wait until I’ve drained all your blood. Cannibal Players heal quickly, and a single wound might not give you a sense of crisis.” “But that’s okay, if one cut isn’t enough I can make a second, and if a second isn’t enough I can make a third. If the wounds heal and stop bleeding, I can cut again.” “If my companion dies, you’ll be buried with him.” His voice, devoid of emotional fluctuations, seemed to carry a tangible coldness. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flickered, circling around Cao Yan before returning to his original spot. As he stood still, fresh blood burst from various parts of Cao Yan’s body, quickly dripping down her charred flesh. He did as he said! Cao Yan, sensing the intent to kill, gritted her teeth, “Are you really just going to watch your friend die in pain?” Huang Junjie hadn’t lost consciousness yet. His eyelids were glued shut, and he could barely speak due to the intense pain. Hearing Cao Yan’s words, he unavoidably looked up towards Xu Huo. Of course, he hoped Xu Huo would prioritize saving his life, but at this moment, he couldn’t speak. Xu Huo didn’t look at Huang Junjie, his gaze still on the woman’s face, “Since the Self-Healing Potion can alleviate this toxin, it proves that it’s not that hard to counteract. Luckily, I’m quite acquainted with the people from the Special Bureau. Perhaps they have the antidote.” “You’re a Cannibal Player, and the toxin is your trait. Is it an item or a poison?” Watching the woman’s expression, he suddenly paused, “It’s not an item or a poison, so, do you carry the toxin within yourself?” Cao Yan’s intensely contracting pupils and the fleeting astonishment when her secret was guessed indicated that the situation was almost certainly as surmised. Xu Huo suddenly began to laugh, “I never thought someone could actually evolve a toxin!” “What are you laughing at!” Cao Yan interrupted him loudly, “Since you’ve guessed it, you should understand that only I can neutralize this poison!” “I’ve never heard of a cobra that, having bitten someone, can then administer an antidote to its own venom,” Xu Huo gradually reined in his smile, “But indeed, someone like you, the culprit, is indispensable in researching the antitoxin.” Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “How about this, I donate you to the Special Affairs Bureau at no cost to them, they are currently using Cannibal Players for experiments, and someone as rare as you is one in a hundred miles, they will definitely be desperate for you.” “It’s said that the Special Affairs Bureau, in their research for an antitoxin, poisoned more than twenty Cannibal Players in one go. It’s somewhat cruel but for them, a swift death is also a blessing.” “You’re different though, they might use you as a sample, and in the future, anyone who encounters a Special Evolver will find your case has research value, whether it’s drawing blood or slicing samples, the researchers will certainly cherish your life more than you do.” “They won’t let you die easily.” His final laugh was chilling to the bone, filling Cao Yan with fear. In the dim light of the weak fire, this smiling man seemed even more terrifying than the Cannibal Players. What Evolvers feared most was being used as lab rats for experiments, and a player like her would never be treated by the government as an ordinary player. Rather than being endlessly used as a test subject, she would prefer to be killed with a single slash! “I really can neutralize the poison, and I can give you the antidote as well, but you have to agree to let me go!” Faced with two choices, she quickly made a decision, “Afterwards, I will leave the Holy Sword Society, and I can even leave Ting City and never oppose you guys again. If you want to know more about the Holy Sword Society, I can tell you that too!” Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, “Are you betraying your organization just like that?” Cao Yan snorted coldly, “I’ve only been with the Holy Sword Society for a few days, and haven’t even received a single prop. Of course, my life is more important.” “If you’re looking for Zhou Xiao, if it weren’t for me saving his life, he would have been eaten the day he was captured. You owe me a favor for that.” “Other things can wait, neutralize the poison first,” he said. Cao Yan rolled her tongue in her mouth, suddenly biting the tip of it. However, instead of blood, a drop of clear liquid flowed out. Just as Xu Huo was about to catch it with the toy gun, the drop of liquid, once exposed to the air, unexpectedly condensed into a transparent film and formed a medicine pill the size of a soybean. “If this isn’t the cure…” “I absolutely did not deceive you,” Cao Yan said, “I am in your hands, I wouldn’t dare pull any tricks, but you must keep your promise.” “Willing to take a gamble?” Xu Huo turned to ask Huang Junjie. “If I die, it’s just my bad luck,” Huang Junjie groped for the pill, his voice hoarse, “Just make sure you avenge me.” “No problem,” Xu Huo replied. Indeed, Cao Yan hadn’t lied; no sooner had Huang Junjie swallowed the pill than the white foam on his face and hands quickly solidified, forming a thin white layer on the surface of his skin, like dried wax. “The poison has been neutralized, after three days peel off this white shell, the flesh on your face will grow back, but it will leave a scar,” she said.
