Looking at the young man's calm face, Zuo Zhicheng said calmly, "Then, I'll take a piece of your flesh and give you a thousand dollars after that. Is that okay with you?"
The young man nodded. Determination flashed in his eyes and he suddenly said, "Sir, you're very powerful, aren't you?"
"Hmm?" Zuo Zhicheng glanced at the young man on the operating table and did not answer his question.
"I heard from the people in the manor that you're the leader of the Four Royal Generals, the Sky Snake King. You're the strongest man in the entire South Bay." The young man mustered up his courage and said, "Can you … make me stronger? I don't want money and I can follow you. I'll be very obedient. "
Zuo Zhicheng's lips curled up slightly. He saw a familiar light in the young man's eyes. It was the light of hatred. He remembered that in his previous life, he had seen many such gazes on the battlefield. They all belonged to children in their teens and twenties.
It seemed that there was a hidden reason behind the death of the young man's parents. However, Zuo Zhicheng did not care about that.
Zuo Zhicheng opened his infrared vision and scanned the weak Innate Qi in the young man's body. It was as if it could be extinguished at any time. He thought for a moment and said, "If you want to become stronger … I can give you a chance. However, with your qualities, you might die. Are you willing to do that?"
The young man swallowed. Although there was a trace of fear in his eyes, it was quickly replaced by hatred. "Even if that's the case, I won't hesitate."
Zuo Zhicheng laughed coldly. "That's fine too. I can give you a chance. What's your name? "
"I'm Xu Hongfei."
"Alright, Xu Hongfei. I'll start the operation now. After the operation, you'll no longer be yourself. You'll be my tool, my knife, and the sword in my hand. "
A mysterious light flashed in Zuo Zhicheng's eyes. In the next moment, the anesthetic was injected into Xu Hongfei's body, causing him to lose consciousness completely.
"But you'll never be yourself again."
…
He did not know how much time had passed. Perhaps it was a few hours, or perhaps it was a few days.
Xu Hongfei opened his eyes in a daze, and white light flickered in front of his eyes.
A few minutes later, his brain completely woke up. His whole body was aching and weak, and his brain was accompanied by severe dizziness and pain.
Zuo Zhicheng's voice rang out beside him. "You've been sleeping for too long. You'll feel a little dizzy. Just get up and walk around."
Xu Hongfei rubbed his head and slowly sat up. He found that he seemed to be in a basement. There were countless bright lights around him, illuminating the entire basement.
He suddenly touched the sole of his right foot. There seemed to be a wound there. He lifted his foot to take a look and found that the wound had completely healed. A fresh red scar, like a centipede, was crawling there.
That was the location of the Life Cluster of Earthly Demons. Xu Hongfei did not know what the Life Cluster was. When he saw the wound, he only thought, "I remember that I did not have this thing before the surgery. When I woke up, the wound had already healed. Looks like I really slept for a long time."
Zuo Zhicheng's cold voice came from afar. "Don't just stand there. Don't you want to become stronger? Come over here."
Xu Hongfei slowly walked over and saw Zuo Zhicheng sitting in a wheelchair. In front of him was a badly mutilated corpse.
Xu Hongfei suddenly felt disgusted when he saw the corpse. He did not know what kind of torture it had been subjected to, but he forced himself not to vomit.
Zuo Zhicheng looked at Xu Hongfei's pale face and nodded. "You'll be my assistant for the time being. Wrap this corpse up." Zuo Zhicheng pointed at the big gunny sack on the ground. He pushed the wheelchair with his hand and turned it to the other side of the desk.
Xu Hongfei looked at the corpse on the experiment table. The more he looked at it, the more disgusted he felt. A strong sense of disgust flashed in his eyes, but in the end, he walked over and slowly put the corpse into the gunny sack.
Zuo Zhicheng glanced at him and did not look at him again. Instead, he looked at the documents on the table and started to record the experiment data. This was his experiment of using death row prisoners to modify the human body. Unfortunately, he had too little experience in this area. Almost none of the death row prisoners survived.
As for the wheelchair under him, it was because he had transplanted the Earth Demon. He was waiting for the Life Cluster to fully adapt.
Unlike the previous time when he transplanted the corpse meridian, the Earth Demon had not undergone any cultivation before. It still needed Zuo Zhicheng's own body to cultivate.
However, Ye Hai had reached the Leakless Realm. His entire body was covered by the tentacles of the Life Cluster. Therefore, the Earth Demon's adaptation process would be very fast. He estimated that it would take about three days.
By then, he would be able to use the Earth Demon to absorb the magnetic force of the earth. His body would be as light as a swallow. He would be able to travel dozens of meters in a single step. He would be able to land without making a sound.
He would have the Speed of God, which could greatly increase his movement speed.
Suddenly, Xu Hongfei said, "Sir … This person, is he a bad person?"
A cold smile appeared on Zuo Zhicheng's face. "Is that important?"
"Nothing … I'm just …" Xu Hongfei's voice became softer and softer. He seemed to regret asking.
"He's just a death row prisoner. He's a rapist who has taken more than ten lives." Zuo Zhicheng said calmly, "I'm not a good person, but I'm also not a murderous maniac who can't live with normal people. I won't pursue evil for the sake of evil.
All the subjects for my experiments are either death row prisoners who have committed serious crimes or volunteers like you. "
"I'm sorry, sir. I said too much." Xu Hongfei lowered his head and started to fill up the corpses.
Zuo Zhicheng did not say anything else. The explanation just now was already very merciful to him. After all, he needed some death warriors and assistants like Xu Hongfei, who were trained by him. As long as they were obedient enough, he would let them practice true martial arts and transplant the Life Cluster.
This was better than doing everything himself.
For such people, other than having enough prestige, one could not be too far away from them. They would be too aware of one's cruelty and ruthlessness. That would make them afraid, but it would be difficult to gain their trust.
It was easier to gain their trust by letting them think that you were cruel and ruthless, but you were special to them.
After Xu Hongfei finished filling up the corpses, he saw Zuo Zhicheng pointing at a tunnel and saying, "There's a snake cave at the end of that tunnel. After you go in, just throw the sack into the big hole."
"Yes." Xu Hongfei nodded and carried the sack into the snake cave. After a few steps, he started to pant. His body was very weak, and he had slept for a long time. Naturally, he could not carry the sack. In the end, he could only put it on the ground and drag it bit by bit.
After dragging for a few dozen meters, a huge cave appeared in front of Xu Hongfei. The entrance of the cave went all the way to the ground. It was dark, and Xu Hongfei didn't know how deep it went.
Hiss ~ ~ Hiss ~ ~
Suddenly, a pair of yellow eyes the size of lanterns appeared in the darkness. Xu Hongfei was so scared that he fell to the ground. Zuo Zhicheng's voice came from afar, "Just throw the sack in. Otherwise … it will eat you."
Xu Hongfei was so scared that he immediately backed the sack into the cave. The pair of eyes lingered for a while, then slowly retreated. In the dark cave, there was a strange swallowing sound.
The creature here was obviously the Serpent King. Zuo Zhicheng dug a hole for it. Now, the Serpent King had to dig a hole for itself. All the dead prisoners were fed to the Serpent King.
In addition to the convenience of dealing with them, he found that after the Serpent King ate the dead, it seemed to strengthen his Darkfear Prison.
Although it was very slow, it was better than wasting it.
When Xu Hongfei heard the sound coming from the darkness, he was so scared that his scalp went numb. He screamed and quickly ran back to where Zuo Zhicheng was.
"My Lord, what … what is that?"
There, Zuo Zhicheng passed a book to him as if nothing had happened.
"This is a true martial art. You will start practicing from the 23rd style."
"From today onwards, until I confirm that you are qualified, you are not allowed to leave the underground space. I will tell you where your food, sleep, and go to the toilet are."
"Is there a problem?"
Xu Hongfei's eyes were fixed on the book in his hand. He looked sad and happy at the same time.
