42: Eagle sauce conspiracy, Xiao Yan surrendered to the enemy

The dawn's light pierced through the clouds, freely scattering across the Goblin Plains.

A basin of cold water splashed over Xiao Yan.

He jolted awake from his dream.

Only then did he realize he was surrounded by several blonde-haired, blue-eyed burly men.

"Who are you people? Do you know who I am?"

Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically, and he immediately wanted to get up and run.

But suddenly, his backside stung, and he fell back to the ground.

Only then did he realize his clothes were disheveled, and there was a sharp pain in his backside.

"You...you, you...what did you do to me?"

"Hahaha...Little fellow, are you Ye Xiu?"

An old man with a wrinkled face and a hooked nose suddenly smiled at Xiao Yan.

"You know I'm Ye Xiu, so why haven't you released me?" Xiao Yan subconsciously shouted, but his heart was filled with extreme fear.

As soon as he spoke, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

These people are here to capture Ye Xiu.

Their target isn't Zhou Mengyan, nor is it me.

It's Ye Xiu's consecutive first kills that have stirred the foreign powers to kill.

Not good!

He quickly analyzed his situation in his mind and immediately changed his words, saying, "No, I'm not Ye Xiu, I'm an impostor!"

The hooked-nosed old man's face instantly darkened.

In fact, he had long suspected that Xiao Yan was not Ye Xiu, but when Xiao Yan denied it himself, he was still exceptionally annoyed.

The old man was none other than Kardia, the Six-Turn Shadow Assassin.

As soon as he captured Xiao Yan, he used a Peering Technique.

Xiao Yan's basic information was laid bare before him.

With such trash attributes, let alone getting the first kill on a beginner zone elite BOSS and a hidden BOSS, even a regular level 30 monster could instantly kill Xiao Yan.

"Hmph!"

Kardia snorted coldly, and a dark black dagger was pressed against Xiao Yan's neck.

Xiao Yan instantly shivered.

"Speak, who is Ye Xiu?"

Xiao Yan was on the verge of tears. "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

"Gr-gr-great sir, I, I, I, I don't know," he stammered, trembling.

"Don't know? Then you have no value whatsoever."

Kardia said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Yan was scared out of his wits, and a 36.5° stream of warmth instantly flowed out from beneath him.

"Don't, don't kill me. I'm the heir of the Xiao Corporation. I can give you money, one hundred million, for my life," Xiao Yan cried and pleaded.

However, Kardia remained completely unmoved.

The dagger in his hand gradually pressed harder, slowly cutting into Xiao Yan's neck.

Xiao Yan's pupils constricted, almost in despair.

"Please, spare me. I'll do anything, just don't kill me, don't kill me..."

As he cried out, the dagger suddenly loosened.

Xiao Yan felt as if he had walked through the gates of hell, gasping for the incredibly sweet air.

"Thank you, thank you, sir, for sparing my life."

He quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, not daring to stop even when his forehead was pricked by the dry grass.

"Enough!" Kardia snorted coldly, sniffing the smell of urine in the air and frowning. "From today onwards, you are my Eagle Country Terminator's hidden chess piece. Don't even think about betraying the organization, otherwise, not only you, but your entire Xiao Family will die."

Xiao Yan trembled upon hearing this. Treason was a capital crime, but if he didn't betray, he would die immediately.

"Xiao Yan understands, Xiao Yan will certainly do his best to serve the Terminator," Xiao Yan said, pressing his head to the ground.

"At least you're sensible. Drink this."

Kardia raised his hand and threw a test tube to the ground.

Xiao Yan suddenly looked up, and when he saw the half-filled unknown liquid emitting a black glow, he shook his head repeatedly.

"Don't kill me, I..." Xiao Yan said fearfully, shrinking his neck.

"Another word and you die!" Kardia sneered, "This is the latest genetic fluid developed by Eagle Country. It can greatly enhance the attributes of Professionals below Three-Turn."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes immediately widened.

"Greatly enhance attributes?"

He trembled with both hands, staring intently into Kardia's eyes.

After confirming that the other party was not joking, he carefully pulled out the stopper and gulped down the black liquid.

"Hehehe...well done. There's one thing I forgot to tell you, this genetic fluid is not yet perfect and has some side effects."

Kardia let out a sinister laugh, and Xiao Yan instantly froze in place.

He desperately gagged, trying to spit out the black water.

But before he could succeed, a large number of black patterns suddenly appeared on his skin.

The next second, a piercing pain struck him.

His skin began to crack, but not a single drop of blood flowed out.

White bone spurs grew from inside his body, and his body simultaneously began to swell.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a three-meter-tall humanoid monster covered in sharp spikes.

"Ah...what did you do to me? I don't want to be a monster! Roar..."

Xiao Yan roared to the sky, his voice hoarse and terrifying.

He could feel the explosive power within him, but if he could only have power by becoming a monster, he would rather not have it.

Suddenly.

A white pill in Kardia's hand instantly flew into Xiao Yan's mouth.

The pill melted upon contact, and before Xiao Yan could react, his body actually changed again.

The spikes retracted, and his body shrank.

In a blink, he returned to his original appearance.

However, the immense power within Xiao Yan had not disappeared.

"Alright, the X-Gene Fluid is a precious gene extracted from abyssal organisms using Level 3 civilization technology. Although it has side effects, as long as you take the antidote once a month, you won't be exposed.

The X-Gene Fluid cannot be detected by any existing instruments, nor will it affect your continued use of other enhancement potions.

All your four-dimensional attributes have increased by one thousand points. These attributes will not be detected by the system, so you won't appear on any rankings.

But you possess unparalleled combat power compared to others. You should be able to feel that I haven't lied to you."

Kardia said with a smile. This was originally the gift they had prepared for Ye Xiu.

Killing a genius is far less effective than making that genius serve them.

They just didn't expect to capture the wrong person.

However, since they made a mistake, they might as well make the most of it. An heir to a Dragon Country corporation becoming their hidden chess piece was also a good gain.

As for Ye Xiu...

He looked at Xiao Yan, and indeed saw a hint of ecstasy in Xiao Yan's eyes.

Just as Kardia said, he did feel his power increase by almost tenfold.

A staff appeared in his hand, and he immediately cast a Blazing Fireball Technique.

Bang...

The fireball exploded, sparks flying everywhere.

Originally, Xiao Yan would consume one-tenth of his mana when casting this skill.

After using it a few times, he would need to consume a blue potion to replenish his mana, but at this moment, his mana bar showed no change at all.

Just as Kardia said, he felt as if he had activated a cheat. Although it didn't show on his stats, his four-dimensional attributes had increased by 1000 points.

"Sir, what do you need me to do?"

This time, Xiao Yan respectfully knelt on the ground.

There was no longer any thought of resistance in his heart.

"Work hard to level up. At Two-Turn, there's a certain probability of awakening a second talent, or your talent advancing.

At that time, when you display some extraordinary abilities, you will definitely be heavily cultivated by the Dragon Country.

In the upcoming Novice Tournament dungeon, I want you to cripple all the geniuses that appear from the Dragon Country. Can you do that?"

Kardia gazed at Xiao Yan.

"Sir, that would expose me," Xiao Yan said with some concern.

Kardia's lips curled slightly.

"Imagine yourself transforming into someone else."

Xiao Yan was slightly startled, and Lin Ling's handsome face involuntarily appeared in his mind.

The next second, a series of clicking sounds came from his face.

Bones dislocated, facial skin wriggled.

In the blink of an eye, he had become identical to Lin Ling.

Kardia snapped his fingers, and a subordinate immediately produced a mirror.

Looking at his reflection in the mirror, Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with madness.

"Lin Ling, it's coming soon! It won't be long before I make you experience the taste of fear too!"
