Chapter 23: The Jedi Strikes Back
Dudian immediately understood why his arm turned like that. He mostly used his body to conduct "life construction" experiments. Judging from the results, it was obvious that the experiment failed. Although the twisted touch body on the arm can act according to neural signals, it will pay the corresponding price every time he acts. Otherwise, relying solely on the power of the mutated touch body, it will definitely be a killing weapon in this cold weapon era!
The hunchbacked old man seemed to have rested and said coldly to Dudian: "Go and lie down there." As he spoke, his dry palm touched the small crossbow, as if Dudian would shoot immediately as long as he refused.
Dudian's face changed and he gritted his teeth and stood up. At this moment of life and death, his mind was a little anxious. He took a deep breath and wanted to remain calm, but no one could maintain calmness in such a gloomy and desperate environment. His body trembled slightly and moved to the place where the hunchbacked old man pointed at the slowest speed. There was a workbench, like a surgical bed, with many cutting knives on the side, and some of them were stained with unwashed blood stains.
Dudian suddenly heard something coming from the left. He looked at him sideways and immediately changed his face. He saw more than a dozen big snakes twisting inside in an iron cage, including yellow-scale snakes like the ones I had seen during the day. Obviously, these are the materials that the other party caught and conducted the "life structure" experiment.
The hunchbacked old man did not urge Dudian, but just looked at him quietly, as if the hunter was quietly watching the prey for the last dying struggle. When he saw Dudian's face change color, a cruel smile slightly curled up on the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Dudian had arrived at the workbench.
"Did you see the chain on it? Tie it on yourself." The hunchbacked old man ordered.
Dudian looked at the several chains fixed to the workbench and knew that it was probably the tools the other party used to tie other experimenters before. His eyes flashed slightly, but he still grabbed a chain and wrapped it around his wrist.
The hunchbacked old man showed a sneer on his face, ready to wait for Dudian to tie him up and cut him to death.
Bang!
In vain, Dudian, who was pestering the chains, squatted down and shrank under the workbench. At the same time, he swung the chain and hit the iron cage not far away on the side. With a clang, more than a dozen big snakes sleeping in the cage immediately woke up and struggled and twisted in the cage.
The hunchbacked old man's face darkened and said in a cold voice: "Little devil, I wanted to make you die more happy, but you just wanted to be smart. Do you think you can escape from here? Even if you lose your body again, I will capture you. If you know the tactfulness, come out obediently, and I will forgive you again in the end!"
Dudian naturally would not believe his nonsense. He raised his foot and kicked him hard on the iron cage. With the cover of the workbench, the hunchbacked old man could not shoot him at the angle. Once the other party approached, he would have the opportunity to fight with the other party in close combat.
Although the hunchbacked old man has mutated touches and close combat is extremely terrible, his head is ultimately a human head, and the fatal point is weak, which gives Dudian a good capital!
Clang, the iron cage was just gently tied with a lock, without locking it. At this moment, Dudian kicked it, the iron cage opened immediately, and more than a dozen big snakes swam out of the cage, some swam into the darkness, some swam towards the hunchbacked old man, while most of them swam towards Dudian.
The hunchbacked old man smiled coldly, "I don't know how to live or die!"
The next moment, his smile suddenly paused, and the big snakes swimming towards Dudian suddenly turned around and swam to other places like a change of mind, four or five of them swam towards him.
"How could it be..." The hunchbacked old man opened his eyes wide and suddenly thought of something. He looked at a platform next to him, and his face suddenly became gloomy. "I actually stole realgar. No wonder he had the courage to open the snake cage."
Dudian firmly grasped a bottle of realgar and touched the powder in his hand and sprinkled him all over his body. This bottle of realgar powder should have been prepared by the hunchbacked old man when he was catching these big snakes. When he noticed the snake cage, he thought of realgar powder. After all, although this hunchbacked old man was known as an "alchemist", he was essentially just a biological scientist of this era.
And he is so old that it is impossible to catch these big snakes with bare hands and can only rely on other things.
As he expected, he soon saw this bottle of realgar powder. Perhaps it was because no one came here for too long and he had been living alone. Therefore, the things were placed casually, just where he passed by, so he sneaked over.
"Hmph!" The hunchbacked old man snorted coldly, grabbed another set of brown and yellow robes hanging on the wall next to him and draped them on his body. At this time, the big snakes swimming towards him immediately stopped, then twisted their bodies and swam into the surrounding darkness.
Seeing this scene, Dudian immediately knew that the robe was mostly covered with realgar powder, and it was probably the coat he wore when he was catching the snake.
"Boy, you'd better come out." The hunchbacked old man looked at the workbench in a daze, his fingers pressed against the crossbow, and as soon as Dudian showed up, he would shoot and kill him immediately! Although the other party was just a child, he had created changes one after another, which made him feel threatened and would not give Dudian any chance again!
Dudian looked up at the secret room. The only way to survive at present is to subdue the alchemist. If you want to subdue the other party, relying solely on the dagger in your hand is far from enough!
That's right, he has a dagger in his hand. This is the cutting tool he took the opportunity to catch from the workbench when he squatted down just now, and it is also the only weapon he is preparing to fight desperately with the hunchbacked old man!
At this moment, Dudian suddenly saw that on a counter against the wall on the side, there were some bottles and jars piled up with labels on them, two of which were sulphur and charcoal!
This is one of the main ingredients of black gunpowder!
Dudian's eyes lit up, and he was ecstatic. He hurriedly looked around, but he did not see the fire salt. His face changed slightly. Without the main raw material of fire salt, sulfur and charcoal alone could not create black gunpowder!
He clenched his fists, which felt like one foot stepped into the door of life, but was pushed back.
"Little kid, I know, you have a dagger in your hand, and you are ready to fight me, right?" The hunchbacked old man's voice sounded again, and Du Di'an's heart sank. He knew that he had noticed the missing daggers on the workbench, and he continued, "Let's continue to waste this way. I'll eat something to replenish, are you hungry?" As he said, he sneered twice.
When Dudian heard him, he immediately felt hungry all day long and his stomach was burning.
However, he felt a little relieved. At least he still had time to continue to think of a solution.
At this moment, a stream of green mist floated in vain.
Dudian's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose. He didn't expect that the other party would release this thing in this small secret room. Obviously, the other party had an antidote or other countermeasures.
Dudian pinched his nose, his heart pounding. He knew that he had not had much time, so he did not eager to stand up and try his best. He expected that the other party might have aimed at his position, and as soon as he stood up, he would be shot.
