Du Dian suddenly understood why his arm became like that. Most of the "life structure" experiments were carried out with his own body. From the results, it was obvious that the experiment failed. Although the twisted haptics on the arm can listen to nerve signals Action, but every time you act, you will pay a corresponding price, otherwise, just relying on the power of the mutated tentacles, in this era of cold weapons, it is definitely a big killer!
The crooked old man seemed to have rested, and said coldly to Du Dian: "Go there and lie on your stomach." While speaking, his dry palm touched the small crossbow, and it seemed that as long as Du Dian refused, he would shoot immediately.
Du Dian's face changed, he gritted his teeth and stood up. At this moment of life and death, his mind was in a mess. He took a deep breath, trying to keep calm, but no one could maintain his composure in such a gloomy and desperate environment. His body slightly Trembling, he moved at the slowest speed to where the rickety old man was pointing. There was a working table, like an operating bed, with many cutting knives on the side, and some of the knives were still stained with unwashed blood.
Du Dian suddenly heard a movement from the left side, squinted, and immediately his face changed, and saw a dozen big snakes twisting in an iron cage, and there were yellow snakes like the ones he had seen during the day. Scaled snake, obviously, these are the materials captured by the other party for the "life structure" experiment.
The crooked old man didn't urge Du Dian, but just looked at him quietly, as if the hunter was quietly watching the prey make the final dying struggle. When he saw the color change on Du Dian's face, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Du Dian has come to the workbench.
"See the chains on it, tie them up yourself." The stooped old man ordered.
Du Dian looked at the chains fixed on the workbench, knowing that most of them were tools used by the other party to bind other experimenters before. His eyes flickered slightly, but he still grabbed a chain and wrapped it around his wrist.
There was a sneer on the crooked old man's face, and he was going to wait for Du Dian to tie himself up, then get up and cut him alive.
Boom!
In vain, Du Dian, who was tangling the chain, suddenly squatted down and shrank under the workbench. At the same time, he swung the chain and hit the iron cage not far from the side. , woke up immediately, struggling and twisting in the cage.
The crooked old man's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "Little rascal, I wanted you to die quickly, but you have to be smart, do you think you can escape from here? You catch me, if you are sensible, come out obediently, and I will forgive you one last time!"
Du Dian naturally wouldn't believe his nonsense, he raised his foot and kicked hard on the iron cage. With the cover of the workbench, the rickety old man couldn't shoot him from that angle. Once the opponent approached, he would have the opportunity to fight with the opponent.
Although the rickety old man has mutated tentacles and is extremely terrifying in melee combat, his head is a human head after all, and the fatal point is weak, which gives Du Dian the capital to fight!
Bang Dang, the iron cage was only lightly tied with a lock, but not locked tightly. At this moment, under Du Dian's kick, the iron cage opened immediately, and a dozen big snakes swam out of the cage quickly, some swam towards the darkness, and some towards the darkness. The rickety old man swam, but most of them swam towards Du Dian.
The crooked old man smiled coldly, "I don't know how to live or die!"
The next moment, his smile stopped suddenly, and he saw those big snakes swimming towards Du Dian suddenly turned around and swam to other places as if they had changed their minds, and four or five of them swam towards him.
"How could it be..." The stooped old man opened his eyes wide, suddenly thought of something, looked at a table next to him, his face suddenly darkened, "He stole the realgar, no wonder he has the courage to open the snake cage."
Du Dian firmly held a bottle of realgar powder in his hand, and sprinkled him all over his body. This bottle of realgar powder should have been prepared by the crooked old man when he caught these big snakes. When he noticed the snake cage, he thought of Realgar powder. After all, although this rickety old man is known as an "alchemist", he is essentially just a biological scientist of this era.
And being so old, it is impossible to catch these big snakes with bare hands, and you can only rely on other things.
As he expected, he saw this bottle of realgar powder very quickly. Maybe it was because no one came here for a long time, and the other party lived alone all the time, so the things were placed very casually, just at the place he passed by, so he sneaked over.
"Huh!" The bent old man snorted coldly, grabbed another set of brown robes hanging on the wall next to him, and put them on his body. At this time, the big snakes swimming towards him stopped immediately, then twisted their bodies and swam into the surrounding darkness.
Seeing this scene, Du Dian immediately knew that the robe was probably sprinkled with realgar powder, and it was probably the coat he wore when he went to catch the big snake.
"Boy, you'd better come out obediently." The crooked old man stared gloomyly at the workbench, with his fingers tightly attached to the crossbow, as long as Du Dian showed his head, he would shoot immediately! Although the other party is just a child, he has already felt threatened by the successive incidents, and will not give Du Dian any more chances!
Du Dian raised his head and looked around the secret room. At present, the only way to survive is to subdue the alchemist, and to subdue the opponent, relying on the dagger in his hand is not enough!
That's right, he had a dagger in his hand, which was the cutting tool he grabbed from the workbench when he squatted down just now, and it was also the only weapon he was going to fight the crooked old man in close combat!
At this moment, Du Dian suddenly saw that on a side counter against the wall, there were some bottles and jars piled up with labels on them. Two of them were sulfur and charcoal!
This is one of the main ingredients of black powder!
Du Dian's eyes lit up, and his heart was suddenly ecstatic. He looked around hurriedly, but he didn't see the fire nitrate, and his face changed slightly. Without the main raw material of fire nitrate, black powder cannot be produced with sulfur and charcoal alone!
He clenched his fist, it felt like a foot had stepped into the door of life, only to be pushed back abruptly.
"Little devil, I know, you have a dagger in your hand, are you going to fight with me?" The old man's voice sounded again, and Du Dian's heart sank, knowing that he had noticed the missing dagger on the workbench, just listen to him Continued: "Let's continue to consume like this, I'll eat something to make up for it first, are you hungry?" As he spoke, he sneered twice.
When Du Dian heard him, he immediately felt hungry all day, and his stomach juice burned.
However, he was a little relieved in his heart, at least he still had time and could continue to think of ways.
At this moment, a green mist floated in vain.
Du Dian'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.
Du Dian pinched his nose tightly, his heart was beating wildly, knowing that he was running out of time, he didn't rush to stand up and desperately, expecting that the other party might have aimed at his position, as long as he stood up, he would be shot.
He gritted his teeth slightly, clenched the dagger tightly, looked at the realgar powder in his other hand, and was just about to throw it out, but he slammed it here and there, but in vain, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.
