The rainy season in Borneo was humid and sultry.
In the small town by the primeval forest, it was raining heavily. On the muddy streets, the locals were walking awkwardly. In the distant strewn shadows of the streets, a three-story building stood out from the crowd. It was exceptionally conspicuous among the dilapidated houses.
Chen Ang held an umbrella over his head, blocking out the cold wind and rain. When the locals saw him, they bowed their heads respectfully and walked around him. A few foreigners passed by him and glanced at him curiously.
After all, it was a little strange to wear spotless clothes in the pouring rain. With a face and temperament like Chen Ang's, he was obviously not a local, which made him even more conspicuous.
"Sha Mansha, stop looking."
The leading white young man shouted and drew their attention back. They quickly lowered their heads and followed him into the bar. His questioning voice came faintly from inside, "Where is Jin Song? Damn it, we are running out of time. The blooming period of the Blood Orchid is about to end! "
Chen Ang ignored them. Since these ignorant protagonists had chosen to explore, they must be prepared to fight against the dangerous jungle. They, who were driven by greed, were not innocent.
Nature was a law that did not apply to humans. As for the natural law of survival of the fittest, Chen Ang also needed to revere it.
"Dadar!" A local respectfully bowed to Chen Ang and said in the local dialect, "Amanla invites you over. He has found the records of the Dragon King."
In the local language, 'Dadar' meant the messenger of the spirits of all living things — the wizard.
Chen Ang smiled faintly and said to him in the same dialect, "Got it. You can go now!"
With that, he stepped on the mud and disappeared into the night under the respectful gazes of the locals. The young man who delivered the letter lowered his head and looked at the place where Chen Ang had stepped. The muddy ground was overflowing with water, but no footprints were left. He respectfully bowed to the place where Chen Ang had left.
Amanla was the local wizard who had passed down dozens of generations of witchcraft medicine, herbs, and voodoo. He had a god-like prestige in the local area and had considerable control over the indigenous people in the jungle. The Chinese civilization had a deep influence on this barren land. Even a wizard like Amanla had to respect the Chinese sorcerers.
Against Chen Ang, Amanla's magical herbs and illusions were useless. He was both respectful and fearful of this young Chinese man. The power to control life and drive diseases made him worship him like a god.
He piously lowered his head and offered a roll of old bark to Chen Ang. "Guru, I have found the records of the Dragon King. This is a totem offered by the Gould tribe. It records the shadow of the Dragon King and the blessing of the gods, his blood."
Chen Ang opened the bark and saw that it was painted with dark brown paint, with twisted shadows that looked like dancing dragons and snakes. A bright, strange pattern was painted in the most conspicuous place. It was a strange flower with six petals, bright red like fresh blood.
To be able to preserve the bright color of the paint for nearly a hundred years and still look so vivid now, the witchcraft of Borneo was indeed mysterious!
Chen Ang caressed the rough bark, feeling the numbness on his fingertips. "The bark of the Poison Arrow Tree, the venom of the Arrow Frog, the feces of the Bat, the blood of the Crocodile, and the blood of the human heart. The crude and primitive witchcraft and herbology are indeed mysterious in the application of poisons."
Amanla held the lamp for Chen Ang, illuminating the wide map in front of him. "Under the gaze of the Dragon King, the blood of the God can be mixed with various venoms and herbs to create an elixir of immortality. The great wizard of that time lived for four to five hundred years before dying. The wizards who came later forgot the order of adding the herbs and lost the elixir. "
The dim light shone on his face, and the colorful tattoos on it were mysterious and strange. "My teacher, the old Tatara, struggled to live for more than two hundred years and told me this secret."
Chen Ang gently snapped his fingers, and a silver-white round robot flew over with a buzzing sound in the air. The warm white light instantly filled the room, brightly illuminating it. Behind them, a large ship was anchored on the dock behind the house, and a long shadow was entrenched on the ship.
When Amanla saw the shadow, he excitedly bent down and lay in front of it.
The blue vertical pupils suddenly opened, and the shadow swiftly pounced, crossing the distance of dozens of meters and arriving in front of the two. The gigantic snake king, which was dozens of meters long, was covered in dark green scales. It raised its body, which was as tall as two people, and stopped in front of Chen Ang. Its head, which was the size of a small car, intimately brushed Chen Ang's fingertips.
Feeling the slight coldness of the snake, Chen Ang smiled and lifted his leg, stepping on the flat back of the snake's head. He looked down at Amanla and ordered, "Go collect some elixirs. We will be using them soon."
With Chen Ang on its head, the snake disappeared into the river.
No one knew how many secrets were hidden in the depths of the jungle. Even in the 100 years of rapid technological development in the industrial society, the sea and the rainforest were still places that human beings had never reached. They were undiscovered treasures. In the primeval forests of the Island of Borneo, the Blood Orchid was a natural treasure.
In the legends of the local people, the Blood Orchid could make cells break through the limit of division and achieve the effect of prolonging life. A group of large snakes lived in the place where they grew, and because of this, they became larger and lived longer. Even their intelligence was improved.
But Chen Ang knew that these seemingly terrifying creatures were almost vulnerable in front of human beings. They were huge and relied on their strong bodies to kill and hunt. Facing the intelligence of human beings, these snakes, which were extremely bad at hiding, could not even survive as well as a mouse.
Lightly gliding over the treetops, Chen Ang's wide robe played a very good role in the aerodynamics. Gliding over the jungle, with the tip of his foot touching the treetops, Chen Ang could easily jump a few miles. If he were to walk in the rainforest, it would take nearly an hour of hard trudging.
In this state of movement, Chen Ang quickly approached his target in a nearly straight line.
After a few ups and downs, he stopped next to a narrow canyon.
A strange blood-red flower attracted his attention. This plant climbed on the cliff, with fat roots and looked inconspicuous. Its branches were blooming with a few blood-red flowers scattered on the cliff of the canyon.
It looked no different from most tropical plants, but Chen Ang vaguely smelled a very strange fragrance. This fragrance aroused his body's instinct, making him feel extremely hungry, as if every cell in his body was longing for something.
Without making a sound, Chen Ang's pupils turned ocean-blue, and the feeling of hunger disappeared without a trace. Under the control of his brain, the real signals sent out by his body's nerves were reinterpreted. A huge amount of hormone reactions and information sensing data were quickly processed and analyzed by his brain. Some strange body indices caught Chen Ang's attention.
"Special molecules cause the disorder of nerve information transmission. Is it a pheromone?" Chen Ang murmured, "Through the pheromone to attract the attention of specific creatures, get the opportunity to reproduce and get protection."
Chen Ang walked past the giant snakes that were tens of meters long without attracting their attention at all. He was leisurely as if he was going out for an outing. The steep cliff might be an obstacle for others, but Chen Ang jumped twice and even stepped on a big snake before climbing to the side of the Blood Orchid.
The static vision of snakes was very poor. They mainly relied on thermal imaging and smell to find their prey. However, Chen Ang, who had closed all the pores on his body and adjusted the Yin and Yang aura of his body, was no different from a stone in their eyes. In dynamic vision, Chen Ang blended into the background and was even more difficult to find.
Even if Chen Ang held a hand cannon and shot them in the head, they could only die in confusion. Chen Ang looked at these cumbersome giant snakes and sighed secretly. "These cowards are far from enough to protect the Blood Orchid from being discovered by humans!"
Chen Ang reached out and plucked a petal of the Blood Orchid. He gently put it in his mouth and chewed it. A faint bitter juice oozed out. In Chen Ang's perception, it was constantly analyzed by the human body. If someone could see Chen Ang's thoughts, then he would be surprised. The series of obscure formulas and symbols rolled in Chen Ang's mind like a flood.
The functions of his body, under the mobilization of the cell level, played a rapid role. The different components of the Blood Orchid were effectively separated and analyzed by the body. The human body itself was an extremely sophisticated composite instrument. The developed sensory organs were enough to carry out professional biological analysis.
Although Chen Ang's control ability and perception were limited to the cell level, it was enough to analyze a part of the mechanism of the drug. Of course, compared with the professional Sixth Genetic Laboratory, there was still a big gap, but it was enough to carry out preliminary research.
The small amount of resources of the Blood Orchid quickly played a role in Chen Ang's body. After the cells were infected with the special blood-colored substance, some of them could not bear it and burst and died. The other part quietly changed inside. Soon after, in Chen Ang's perception, a kind of ferocious gray cell began to divide violently.
It attacked and infected other cells and rapidly divided in a short time, consuming a large amount of nutrients. Soon, it expanded from a dozen cell clusters to tumor tissue with tens of thousands of cells. Under the control of Chen Ang, the blood vessels cut off the nutrient supply of the tumor, and the keratin quickly isolated the tumor from other cells.
A bead of flesh fell from Chen Ang's right arm and fell on a big snake at the bottom of the cliff.
A granule sprouted and grew, drilling into the gap between the scales of the big snake. Chen Ang looked solemnly at the big snake whose muscles were trembling violently. The meatball had moved to the top of the big snake's head, sprouted and took root, and swelled into a blood-red crown of flesh.
The giant blood-crowned snake struggled violently, stirring up the pool and setting off huge waves. Its golden vertical pupils were penetrated by blood and turned blood-red. It looked in the direction of Chen Ang, opened its huge mouth, and suddenly pounced on Chen Ang.
