Chapter 1186: Chapter 1185: Spine Chapter 1186: Chapter 1185: Spine Let’s move back in ti, to the cave before the Dragon Boat had arrived.
In fact,
The prolonged battle that took place at the bottom of the cave had actually ended ten hours before the arrival of the Dragon Boat.
Under the control of Count’s consciousness and without damaging the spine, Han Dong’s body had decisively defeated the Corpse Demon Ape.
Through continuous destruction of its body, exhausting the Corpse Energy accumulated within it, Swollen Doctor had stealthily released the Brain Tentacles. They infiltrated from the shattered neck of the ape, invading and disrupting its nervous system.
Causing it to completely lose its ability to move.
Count didn’t even wait for the credit as a powerful consciousness imdiately pushed him aside.
Next would be Han Dong and the Doctor’s “Happy Ti” – a thorough dissection of the Corpse Demon Ape, with the extraction of “Corpse Elent” saved for last.
“Hmm? What is this technique… chanical Planting?”
During the dissection, a special technique surprised both Han Dong and the Doctor.
The ‘chanical Column’ on the ape’s body was not connected through external or embedded technologies… but seed to have grown within the flesh.
The Doctor connected the brain nerves to the nerve lines near the chanical Column, nodding, “Indeed, it’s like it was planted. The chanical Column was implanted externally when the corpse ape was young… during subsequent growth, the chanical Column grew with the individual.”
“Could the steam technology at the manor manage this?”
“chanical growth, this belongs to a whole new field… or perhaps it’s unique to this world. If we could take it back, it would elevate our manor’s chanical technology to a new level.
We could even undertake chanical Planting on ghouls during their embryonic stage, which would be far superior to chanical modifications later on.”
“It seems the technology brought by the Dragon Boat is quite advanced, getting more interesting.
I will try to take this technology back if I have enough points.”
“Hmm… as long as Lord can bring back the technology, leave all the follow-up work to .”
Anything related to technology always sparked imnse interest in Swollen Doctor. Without limits imposed on his desires, Swollen Doctor’s main passion lied in scientific research.
The two continued to examine the ape’s body.
Its basic structure was not much different from Han Dong’s zombified body, except for the green Corpse Energy stored in the abdominal sac, presenting as a green gel-like substance, a kind of alternative energy source.
After a thorough examination, the Doctor also casually wrote a report in his mind.
“Next…”
Han Dong pulled out a gold-trimd syringe, stabbing it directly into the spine.
The mont he pulled the syringe’s plunger, the Corpse Demon Ape instantly died… its body turned into powdery dry corpse in just a few seconds.
The syringe, also smartly, stored the Cell Essence and Corpse Elent separately.
This ti they collected a tube of grey gel-like substance, resembling ‘Spinal Cord Concentrate’… This type of corpse demon, centered on the spine, seed tailor-made for the Doctor’s current corpse.
“Doctor, are you ready? I’m going to inject it now.”
“Ready!”
Instantly, he stabbed into the Doctor’s spine, evenly pushing in the grey substance.
Imdiately, the Corpse Energy filling the cave was stirred, all sucked into the Doctor’s spine.
The originally white spine imdiately developed nurous black spots, even turning entirely black… At the sa ti, their view on chanical Planting was also confird.
Small chanical Columns slowly grew on the Doctor’s spine, fittingly sized to match the spine.
“Incredible, the machinery could transfer and grow like cells!”
anwhile, Han Dong’s analysis report was also produced.
“Corpse Elent”
(* A unique substance, extractable from corpses in the current world, the quality and type show significant differences.)
[Source]: Corpse Demon Ape (mixed with chanical tissue)
[Type]: Enhanced Spinal Fluid
[Quality]: Lower-grade ‘Zombie Oil’
[Effect]: Accelerates zombie transformation, increases corpse hardness, strengthens the spine, and imparts corresponding chanical properties.
“Indeed, everything is different… The ‘Corpse Elent’ extracted from the spine of this ape, although of the sa quality as that inside the Village Chief’s body, the effects are noticeably stronger in the ape.
Moreover, it mainly shows in the spine and also carries chanical properties; when in contact with the Dragon Boat later, these chanical properties may provide so ‘convenience’.
This is good… It allows the Doctor more opportunities to display his abilities and thus, may relatively weaken my presence.
After all, he is the Village Chief.”
The transformation of the Swollen Doctor into a zombie lasted a full five hours.
Besides the usual zombie transformation, there was also tallic implantation and growth. When the protruding tal columns were fully ford, the exposed spine made cracking noises, a pure qualitative change.
“How do you feel, Doctor?”
“I feel… We could try to bring this thing into the manor, it could stir up a big event!”
The thought processes of the Doctor differed drastically from other demons; he rarely considered himself… Even the advancent of his demon status was forced during the experint due to feeling his brain capacity was inadequate.
“Don’t rush, we still haven’t seen the true nature of this world.
Zombie transformation here should just be considered a beginner level, let’s focus on the current issues for now. Whether we can take it back will be discussed later.
Doctor, the next steps in our plan should center around you, driving the events forward.”
“Alright, let’s do it as the Lord suggests.”
Just as they were about to step out of the cave, laughing and talking,
a powerful aura hit them head-on…
Although Han Dong’s body hadn’t made it through, his brain function was perfectly preserved.
At the mont, his brain sensed an intense danger, much higher than that of the Village Chief and the recently resolved Corpse Demon Ape… If the opponent was hostile, a fierce battle would be inevitable.
The Demon Eye saw nothing but a swath of black miasma.
Inside the miasma was a figure dressed in what resembled a Qing dynasty official’s robe—a ‘zombie’.
His build was burly, massive, and even exaggerated, a sight one would only expect in so hardcore comics… Each breath he took had a crushing force, not a physical weight but a soul-crushing pressure.
Han Dong reacted quickly.
He made no moves to attack, but bowed his head in respect.
“Greetings, my lord!”
Though Han Dong had never seen the ‘mysterious person’ from the Dragon Boat, the attire paired with such a level of strength surely wasn’t from soone on the island.
“How reckless you are, do you realize the grave cri you have committed?”
Han Dong was about to speak, but he relayed his words to the Doctor, acting as the ‘Village Chief’, to state:
“This… I am unaware.
The day before yesterday, I had just ascended to the position of Village Chief. The forr chief ntioned that in the depths of the Tomb Mountain, a fierce Corpse Demon dwelt, generally stabilized by feeding on the villagers.
However, this thod is not sustainable. If not controlled well, it might threaten the safety of the village, or even jeopardize the important Dragon Boat Ceremony.
I brought my people here to try and eliminate this nace before the arrival of the Dragon Boat, unaware of any transgression.”
“What you have killed was a ‘Corpse Demon’ bred here by the Imperial City, a cri worthy of higher punishnt.”
“This…” Han Dong had already guessed that the chanized Corpse Demon was related to these people but did not expect it to involve the completely unknown Imperial City.
If true, this was indeed a terrible start.
Just then,
An aged voice ca from above: “Pei Zheng, stop scaring them… It seems this small Floating Island has indeed produced two exceptional zombies.
Pei Zheng, bring them aboard the boat.”
