76: arms

Wei Xuan's slow footsteps echoed, as if stepping into Yuan Cheng's heart.

He remained silent, and the air was unusually heavy.

Yuan Cheng was panic-stricken.

Cold sweat poured down him.

Just then, Wei Xuan spoke.

His deep voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens, piercing directly into Yuan Cheng's ears!

"The Giant Shark Gang has been completely annihilated, not a single soul remains alive!"

Yuan Cheng's pupils constricted violently!

He was instantly overcome with a chill.

Wei Xuan's words shattered the defenses in his heart.

He raised his head, looking at Wei Xuan with pleading eyes.

Wei Xuan looked down and met his gaze, smiling, "Do you want to live?"

Yuan Cheng nodded like a pecking chick, his eyes full of hope, as if nodding faster would allow him to grasp the hope of life.

Wei Xuan, expressionless, raised a hand and pointed at the Female Monster struggling and roaring in the Cage.

"Tell me her origins; I'm very interested."

"This is also your bargaining chip for survival."

Yuan Cheng swallowed hard, a hint of desire and more disbelief showing in his eyes.

"Will you really let me live?"

Wei Xuan shrugged.

"Otherwise? Killing you is useless to me!"

"Besides, since you are the Vice Gang Leader of the Giant Shark Gang, you must control many of the Giant Shark Gang's wealth-generating channels, right?"

"You are still useful to me; I won't kill you easily!"

"If you perform well, I might even reattach your limbs!"

Yuan Cheng nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, excitement in his eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes! I still have value!"

"I can make money for you; I have many connections!"

"Not killing me is far more useful than killing me!"

The conversation between the two naturally couldn't be hidden from Chu Changge, Su Yueyao, and the others.

Chu Changge looked indignant; she hadn't expected Wei Xuan to plan on keeping this person alive.

Just as she was about to speak, Su Yueyao grabbed her wrist and shook her head.

She whispered, "From what I know of Wei Xuan, he wouldn't be so soft-hearted!"

Chu Changge then calmed down and focused on watching the show.

Wei Xuan showed a benevolent smile.

"Speak! Tell me her origins, every single detail."

Yuan Cheng lay on his back, eyes staring upwards, seemingly lost in thought.

His voice began to sound.

"That was three years ago when Hong Tao, Zhou Tuo, and I went to Kunlun Mountain in the westernmost part of Huaxia for a transaction."

"After the transaction, we didn't leave immediately but were drawn by an unusual phenomenon."

At this point, his expression became excited, as if that scene had left an indelible mark on his heart.

"At that time, a flower bloomed on the summit of Kunlun Mountain!"

"That flower was enormous! We could see it clearly even from the foot of the mountain!"

"That flower was beautiful, so beautiful it made one's heart tremble!"

"I had never seen such a beautiful flower!"

"On the snow-covered summit, that flower appeared so abruptly, dazzlingly red! Blinding!"

"It seemed to have a layer of sacred radiance; in just an instant, I suddenly realized that the knife scars from over a decade ago on my body had disappeared!"

"Even the chronic illnesses in my body healed in an instant."

At this point, Wei Xuan and the others had already widened their eyes.

Could such a magical flower truly exist in the world?

It sounded like something out of a novel!

However, Yuan Cheng's excited expression didn't seem like he was lying.

Yuan Cheng continued speaking.

"We asked the local residents, but strangely, they had never seen that flower! Nor had they ever heard of it!"

"The three of us became even more curious!"

"Hong Tao suggested we go up and investigate; this could be a huge Opportunity for the three of us!"

"Perhaps it was even an immortal flower! One that could grant eternal life!"

"After all, just a distant glance had such miraculous effects; we all wanted to believe that it was an Opportunity bestowed upon us by heaven."

"We reached the summit of Kunlun Mountain, but we didn't see that flower!"

"It was as if it were a figment of our imagination."

"We were unwilling to give up; perhaps the immortal flower only appeared occasionally, so we waited there, hoping to see the flower again!"

"Indeed, on the night of the third day we guarded the spot, that flower appeared again!"

Yuan Cheng's voice became impassioned!

Capturing everyone's attention!

Even Xue Shuhan, who was eating a steamed bun and repairing the Cage, pricked up his ears to listen.

Yuan Cheng continued.

"We tried to grab it, but it was like a shadow, impossible to catch!"

"Its radiance felt very comfortable on our bodies, and our Ranks soared rapidly."

"Hong Tao directly achieved the Grandmaster Level at that time; Zhou Tuo and I were very envious."

"After a few tens of seconds, it disappeared!"

"We saw it clearly! It drilled into the ground!"

"We dug frantically, trying to find that flower!"

"After digging for over ten meters, we found her!"

Yuan Cheng's gaze flickered towards the Female Monster in the Cage.

Everyone looked at the Female Monster, their faces filled with shock!

She was actually dug out of the ground?

In other words, she was dead?

Immediately, including Wei Xuan, everyone was filled with layers of doubt.

Next, Yuan Cheng resolved their doubts, but what he said sent shivers down everyone's spines!

He said excitedly, "When we first saw her, she still had a heartbeat!"

"She opened her eyes, and a powerful Aura enveloped the three of us; we could barely move."

"At that time, I thought I was going to die!"

"However, she closed her eyes again and fell unconscious, and that flower appeared on her head for a moment."

"We were overjoyed."

"We secretly brought her back to the headquarters. Due to her immense strength, we didn't dare let her awaken, so..."

"We kept injecting drugs into her brain!"

At this moment,

There was dead silence,

Everyone's scalps tingled,

As if a heavy hammer had struck their hearts, looking at the eloquently speaking Yuan Cheng!

Looking at the roaring Female Monster in the Cage, they felt an inexplicable sadness in their hearts.

Su Yueyao and Chu Changge's eyes were red; they wished they could kill Yuan Cheng immediately!

This group of people from the Giant Shark Gang didn't deserve to be human!

Wei Xuan took a deep breath and raised a hand to stop Su Yueyao and the others.

He asked, "What happened next?"

Yuan Cheng didn't notice the hint of killing intent in Wei Xuan's eyes.

He continued, "We performed a craniotomy on her, hoping to find that flower in her brain!"

"But we didn't find it!"

"We wanted to cut open her armor to look, but before we could even act, she woke up!"

"She grew knife-like nails and became like a beast; she went on a killing spree! Killing over fifty people!"

"We had no choice but to give up and keep her confined here, as the Giant Shark Gang's secret weapon."

"Initially, she still had consciousness and asked us to release her, promising us benefits."

"But she was so strong; how could we dare release her!"

"So, we put a large amount of toxins in her food!"

"Until she lost her self-awareness and became a weapon!"

After Yuan Cheng finished speaking, he saw Wei Xuan's gaze scrape across his face like a knife.
