Its scales, which were originally armed to the teeth, had long since fallen off due to the powerful electricity, revealing the charred and rotting flesh underneath.
There were also two terrifying holes in its abdomen. Through a thin layer of skin, Meng Chao could clearly see the squirming of its organs.
A few broken bones protruded out of its back and tail. Its limbs were also twisted in an abnormal manner.
The most serious injury was on the top of the head. The head of the Deinonychus seemed to have been bombarded by a tank. Half of its skull was shattered, and its forehead was deeply dented. One of its eyeballs had been squeezed out, leaving behind a bloody hole that was emitting a painful and resentful light.
As a high-grade Hell Beast, the Broken Claw Dragon's regeneration and regeneration abilities were incredibly strong.
But the prerequisite was that it needed enough food and spirit energy.
— —
The Vortex saw a large number of bones that had been licked clean around the Broken Claw Dragon, which was covered in wounds and dying.
Based on the shape of the bones, they should belong to other monsters.
But the cages and shackles imprisoning the monsters were empty. Aside from the holes in the cages and a few bones, nothing else was left.
The Vortex squirmed and thought about it.
Soon, it understood what had happened in the cages.
Saber Jin Wanhao had purposely brought these monsters underground to conduct experiments so that he could extend his life.
As the Underground Emperor, he had a way to get all sorts of fierce super monsters, including the Broken Claw Dragon, through the channels in Mutual Gold Coliseum.
However, as Jin Wanhao's organs started failing and he fell unconscious, the monsters that he did not manage to cut into pieces for research naturally fell into a predicament where no one could feed them.
Perhaps in the beginning, the fully automatic life support system could feed the monsters some food.
But once they ran out of food, all the monsters faced the danger of starving to death.
Great hunger and the threat of death stirred up the monsters' fierceness.
Among them, the strongest and fiercest Broken Claw Dragon destroyed the space between the cages and crawled into other cages to eat all the other monsters.
Of course, the metal bars between the cages were connected to high-voltage electricity and could release all sorts of offensive spirit energy magnetic fields.
And the monsters who had the right to be locked up here for the Underground Emperor's research were all fierce existences. They would not obediently wait to be captured and let the Broken Claw Dragon slaughter them.
In the end, even though the Broken Claw Dragon ate all the monsters, it was heavily injured by the high voltage electricity, offensive spirit energy magnetic fields, and the other monsters' near-death attacks.
Although it had been struggling at death's door until now, it was powerless to break out of the outermost and sturdiest beast cage. It looked like it was about to be trapped to death.
Just then —
Since it had been burned by Meng Chao's flames, its control over its body was no longer perfect, and the Vortex could not control its cells. A small bubble popped up under the adhesive liquid that was as thin as a cicada's wings.
The seemingly dying Broken Claw Dragon instantly snapped out of its stupor. Its bloody eye sockets shone with an incredibly ruthless light. It jumped up and crashed into the vortex.
Bang!
It crashed into the iron fence, which was as thick as a person's thigh, and made a deafening noise.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
Then, the runic symbols on the iron fence shone with an intersecting red and white light. Ten thousand piercing electric arcs crawled into the Broken Claw Dragon's scales.
The Broken Claw Dragon was electrocuted so much that smoke came out of it.
Its scales fell apart like a goddess scattering flowers.
A few more white bones protruded from the ground.
The air was filled with the smell of burnt protein. It was thick and sticky.
The Broken Claw Dragon was sent flying and crashed into the center of the beast cage.
But it did not stop for a moment. It crawled to its feet, not caring about the bleeding wounds all over its body. It greedily and fiercely stared at the "vortex" outside the iron fence, and hot saliva flowed out of its mouth that was full of fangs.
It was truly a brutal and cunning Hell Beast.
Since it had been discovered, the Vortex no longer hid itself. It went from being as thin as a cicada's wing to becoming nearly transparent again. It was as harmless as a slug, and it even looked a little silly.
A semi-transparent tentacle stretched out from the mass of flesh. At the end of the tentacle was a swollen thing that looked like a watery eye. It was raised high and stared into the Broken Claw Dragon's eyes.
The Broken Claw Dragon had never seen such a strange monster in the wild or in the monster coliseums.
The Hell Beast's dignity and madness when it was about to die caused it to ignore the pain from the lightning burning its bones. It pounced on the Vortex again.
"Roar!"
But this time, the Vortex tore apart its harmless disguise without hesitation. The watery eye swollen thing instantly split apart and turned into a mouth that was even larger than the Broken Claw Dragon's head.
The brutal presence that gushed out of the mouth was like a transparent hammer that instantly knocked the Broken Claw Dragon to the ground.
The crazed Hell Beast instantly turned into a dog that had its legs broken. It let out pathetic and panicked whimpers and scrambled back into the depths of the beast cage.
The Vortex let out a gurgling laugh.
It pulled back its tentacles and mouth and continued crawling into the depths of the lab.
This time, it finally found its target.
When it turned into a form that was as thin as a cicada's wings and seeped behind the final door, the Vortex saw a huge medical cabin that was as big as a coffin.
The room was filled with the fragrance of high-grade gene medicine. All sorts of medical equipment and monitors shone faintly, causing the room to be shrouded in dark green light. It was filled with a mysterious air.
The mechanical arms in the room were more numerous and more advanced than the ones in the control room used to dissect monsters. The ceiling, floor, and walls were covered in intersecting slides, allowing the dozens of mechanical arms to move around easily. They turned into a top-class medical team that carried out the most sophisticated surgeries and helped the master of the room cultivate.
Unfortunately, the master of the room, the secret lab, and the entire lair was lying quietly in the medical cabin. It was as if he was an old man sealed in amber and had turned into a skeleton with skin and bones wrapped around his body.
He was covered in IV tubes, wires, and crystal cables. Aside from his heart still beating weakly, there were no other signs that he was alive.
The Underground Emperor's soul, which was hard to tell whether he was good or evil, had already fallen into a dark abyss. However, the advanced life support system made him dangle like a fragile spider thread above hell and sway.
The Vortex quickly cast a glance at Saber Jin Wanhao's physiological parameters on the monitor.
It also sensed the minuscule vitality magnetic field and Jin Wanhao's wretched appearance, which made him look like a living skeleton.
The Supernatural Entity thought about it quietly and came to a conclusion. Su Lun did not lie to it. Jin Wanhao did not have long to live.
It was no wonder then why the Underground Emperor kept hiding underground like a coward even though so many things had happened in the lair. It turned out that his physical body only had one last breath left, and his consciousness had long since disappeared.
The Vortex let out a mocking laugh again.
It was laughable that the Underground Emperor had spent so much effort to build such an advanced lab underground to fight against death. He had also gathered so many treasures, gene medicine, cultivation resources, and Hell Beasts as test subjects.
Unfortunately, a human's struggles were futile and laughable in the face of hell's call.
He was the Underground Emperor, but in the end, he had become a living skeleton that could be manipulated by others, and he had given such a large treasure to the Vortex.
With this thought in mind, the Vortex did its best to squirm toward the medical cabin.
The medical cabin was tightly sealed and indestructible. It was incredibly difficult for external forces to break it.
But this was not a problem for the Vortex.
It solidified its tentacles into the shape of a drill and patiently drilled an infusion tube that led to the medical cabin. Soon, it created a small hole.
Then, as the Vortex squirmed, it became even more transparent. It was like pure water that had no impurities. It entered Saber Jin Wanhao's vegetative body through the hole that was less than one millimeter in diameter.
Then, an extremely strange scene occurred.
As the Vortex continued invading his body, it surged into Jin Wanhao's blood vessels, nerves, and bones through the infusion tube.
Jin Wanhao's shriveled body began to swell at a visible speed.
His originally weak heartbeat gradually became strong and stable.
His skin was so gray that even gene medicine could not nourish it. Red spots first appeared on his skin, and when the red spots connected together, they revealed an abnormal and bewitching red color.
Under the nourishment of the red color, his skin shone with light again, and he released wisps of powerful aura.
Even his face, which was originally as withered as a skull, was filled with flesh and blood, and it became plump again.
Very soon, the wriggling vortex that stuck to the side of the medical cabin disappeared.
It crawled into Jin Wanhao's body and occupied the Underground Emperor's body.
The newly born Underground Emperor opened his eyes in the medical cabin, and an evil smile appeared on his lips.
His appearance still couldn't be said to be healthy or strong, but it was much better looking than the half-dead skeleton a moment ago.
And once he ate all the treasures and gene medicine stored here, he would naturally become stronger than the real Saber Jin Wanhao.
"Jin Wanhao, from now on, your fate belongs to me!"
The Vortex hid in the body and touched its own face in satisfaction. With a human voice, it let out a mocking cackle that it did not bother hiding.
It opened the medical cabin from the inside and sat up.
He moved his limbs as much as he could and prepared to step out of the medical cabin. As he listened to his bones cracking, his smile grew brighter.
But this bright smile only lasted for half a second.
He suddenly seemed to have realized something, and he extended his hand again to touch his own face.
After rubbing it for a long time, he stared at his hands in disbelief. He extended a finger, and a ball of transparent liquid came out of his fingertip. It turned into a tentacle, and a crystalline "eye" grew out of the end of the tentacle. It turned one hundred and eighty degrees and stared at his face.
"This isn't Jin Wanhao!"
The Vortex let out an incredibly puzzled and disappointed scream and fell back into the medical cabin.
