Chapter 959: Cannot afford
Ye Zhongming suspected that Ghost tal was connected to the Chain Prisoner’s body. That was because the Ghost tal that he had sliced at the apocalypse's start had returned to normal.
He didn’t know the reason, but he had two probable answers.
One was that as the Chain Prisoner’s evolution level increased, the tal chains on it would recover. So when he saw it, the shorter chain would return to normal.
Another that was even bolder. The Ghost tal was sothing that grew inside the Chain Prisoner’s body.
He wasn’t sure of the answer before he killed it. Now, it was ti to solve the mystery.
Ye Zhongming stared at it for a long ti before breathing out.
The Ghost tal was connected to the Chain Prisoner’s bones.
This monster’s bones were different from human bones. Ye Zhongming wasn’t interested in studying its bones, but when he saw those chains connected to the bones, it proved that his second guess was correct.
He was sure that the tal grew from the bones because not only were they connected, but there was even a color change where they connected.
The bones were white with red spots. Every few parts, there would be a circular base. That base was still white with red spots, but as you went up, the color got darker. The red spots would then disappear and then turn into Ghost tal.
They were one.
If this didn’t prove that the Ghost tal grew from the bones, then what could prove it?
The level nine old man at Blue Secret Realm put Ye Zhongming under huge pressure, which was why he chose to kill the Chain Prisoner to get its resources. But if it was possible, he rather nurture it and use it as a Ghost tal production plant.
But he was forced to attack. Moreover, he was glad he made that choice.
The level eight Chain Prisoner was already so strong. What if it reached level nine? Who could restrict it?
In his last life, three nine-star evolved had to work together to kill it. One of them received unhealable injuries and died from it early.
Things changed in this life. The ti it took for it to get to level nine was delayed, but it was still on the brink. Once it got to level nine, if Cloud Peak and Ye Zhongming didn’t get to nine-star, they would lose their control over it.
Rather than the uncertain future, it was better that they attacked now. At least, it would help their current situation.
Of course, Ye Zhongming regretted that he couldn’t get an unlimited supply of Ghost tal. This material was sothing that he couldn’t get away from. All his good equipnt had this material added into.
Although he obtained so many at once, which was enough for a long ti, but it would run out soday. What happened then?
He touched the part where the Ghost tal and bones connected and was stunned.
He touched his chin to think about it. Then, he touched the entire bone structure like a chiropractor. The people around didn’t know what he was doing, so no one disturbed him.
When he finished, his eyes lit up.
He told the others to return to work and collect the organs and blood vessels. He then told them to leave. Only a few Cloud Peak core mbers remained.
“Did you notice sothing?’
Miya walked to his side. She hugged his arm while asking gently. His arm sunk deep into her big chest.
Liang Chuyin taught her that, and she said that all guys loved it. As she was slightly bigger, she had the skill to do it.
Out of Ye Zhongming’s few won, only Xia Lei and Miya could do it.
“These bones are alive.”
The people around were shocked. The core mbers who wanted to leave and not disturb the two of them returned imdiately and waited for Ye Zhongming to continue.
Ye Zhongming was helpless when he saw these fellows who were holding blades now giving out various expressions.
Shouldn’t only people like Liu Zheng Hong be interested in this?
But they were all loyal to him, so he didn’t hide anything from them.
“I can sense lifeforce on the bones. It doesn’t belong to the Chain Prisoner but themselves.”
Although they had seen many weird things in the apocalypse,, this was the first ti they heard of bones having their own life. This made their bodies numb.
If your own bones were another lifeform… Weren’t they similar to parasites?
“Ghost tal is a product of this lifeform. Of course, it can also be an excretion.”
Ye Zhongming ca to this conclusion, which was why he was excited.
If this thing was alive, didn’t that an that he could nurture them?
He touched more bones and realized another thing.
These lifeforms were weakening.
The speed was slow, and you might not even sense it if you don’t pay close attention.
Ye Zhongming told them to get water, and he placed a bone in it. He waited and felt that the life energy was still disappearing.
He switched it with soil, but it still didn’t work.
He then called Liu Zhenghong over to study it. They switched the dium to nutrient liquid, and it didn’t work either.
Liu Zhenghong was a professional, and she ca up with many suggestions that Ye Zhongming didn’t know about. But after the experints, it still couldn’t stop the lost of life.
Everyone knew that once the life was lost, the bones would totally die, and the Ghost tal wouldn’t be able to continue growing.
“Get so flesh and blood!”
Ye Zhongming thought about one possibility. He got them to bring so mutated lifeform flesh and blood. This caused Liu Zhenghong and him to heave a sigh of relief. The fresh blood and flesh that filled half a car was sucked dry by that portion of bones in just a few minutes. The life force of the bones increased by a little.
“Take so Chain Prisoner flesh and blood!”
They were using level five mutated lifeform flesh and blood so the energy wasn’t enough. Ye Zhongming wanted to try using the Chain Prisoner’s flesh.
Truth proved that it was much more effective. With the sa amount, the bone took two hours to suck the at dry.
He found the way to maintain the bones but the problem was that it was just a small portion of bones. How much flesh did he have to feed all the bones?
It seed like this thing ate too much that even Cloud Peak couldn’t afford to feed it.
