The short-haired man finally got his heart back as he wished, but then things became awkward.
He found he didn’t know how to put his heart back in.
He looked to the three translucent flickering shadows for help, but received no response. One of the shadows even urged him, “Hurry up and try putting it back in!”
Seeing his body growing weaker, he didn’t care anymore. He opened his mouth wide and stuffed his heart back in.
The small, powerless heart kicked wildly and screamed desperately.
The power unleashed by a dying man was terrifying.
“Gurgle~”
Then he covered his mouth to prevent it from coming out again!
…
He succeeded! A smile appeared on his face.
But gradually losing consciousness, he slowly died.
After the hand covering his mouth weakly fell away, the heart screamed and ran out again, fleeing into the distance: “Too scary!”
Su Hao thought for a moment and flicked his finger.
“Bang!”
The heart burst into pieces and disappeared. Su Hao waited quietly for a while, but nothing special happened.
He couldn’t help but think, “It seems unrelated to these things running out.”
The events of these short minutes left Su Hao and the others bewildered.
All they could say was it’s unscientific!
But if it’s already considered “weird,” how could it possibly be scientific…
Su Hao frowned, repeatedly pondering the process from the appearance to the death of the man, analyzing the causes of the bizarre disaster.
Ah Xing and Ah Wang were sweating profusely, the scene had a great impact on them.
Ah Wang whispered, “I’ve heard of the Honggao Team’s reputation, it’s an advanced team, and even the weakest are intermediate Origin Mages. I just don’t know how the rest of the team is doing now, and why he ended up alone.”
Ah Xing said, “Let’s leave here first and find other teams as soon as possible to exchange information.”
The situation was unclear now, and they dared not move the body randomly. They could only wait until the disaster was solved before coming back to collect the body.
The three of them stepped away cautiously once again, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.
Soon, a light bulb lit up in Su Hao’s mind, and he said as he exited the pinball space, “I understand the triggering conditions for the organs running out of the body!”
“Huh??” Ah Xing and Ah Wang abruptly stopped and turned to look at Su Hao.
Su Hao pointed to the densely hanging willow branches around them and said, “It’s these willow branches! As long as these branches whip someone, the corresponding organs in the body will run out.”
“I don’t know if you noticed just now, but the Origin Mage of the Honggao Team was whipped by branches twice while chasing his own organs. The first time on the left hand, and the second time on the right hand. So I speculate that if one is hit by these hanging willow branches, it will trigger a bizarre disaster, causing the organs in the body to come alive and run out. Of course, there may be other conditions that we need to observe later. Whether it is or not, we’ll know once we try.”
Ah Xing and Ah Wang looked at these elegantly swaying willow branches with lingering fear. If they had ignorantly touched these branches when they came in, they would probably have died a miserable death by now.
“How do we try?”
Su Hao said, “Ah Wang, you insert something into the dummy, then let it actively approach the swinging branches and see what happens.”
Ah Wang nodded and did as instructed.
Ah Xing controlled the dummy to approach the hanging willow branches, and the branches swayed, lightly patting the dummy’s body.
However, the expected scene of something running out from the dummy’s body did not occur.
Ah Xing frowned, “Could it be not?”
Su Hao said, “Don’t rush! Perhaps it’s ineffective on inanimate objects. Let’s catch some small animals to try.”
“In this ghostly place, where are we going to find small animals?”
Su Hao smiled, “There are some, I can sense that there are many rats underground!”
Both of them widened their eyes in amazement. He could even sense rats hiding underground? It completely subverted their understanding of the word “sensing.”
Unable to resist, Ah Wang asked, “Su Hao, is there anything you can’t sense?”
Su Hao just smiled and didn’t say anything, focusing on catching the rats.
Catching rats was simple enough. Su Hao pointed his finger.
“Boom!”
After the explosion, a fat yellow rat flew high into the air with soil, then fell heavily in front of Su Hao.
Kicking its short limbs, it spun around as if drunk on the spot, obviously stunned by the blast.
Su Hao laughed, “Here it comes, isn’t it?”
Then he kicked the rat, sending it flying into the swaying willow branches.
After falling to the ground, it became a bit more awake, and its four short legs quickly moved as it ran away into the distance, with Su Hao and the others carefully following behind.
Before long, the yellow rat stopped, opened its mouth wide, and spat out various organs. Just like before, those organs moved their small legs and screamed as they ran away.
The rat, bewildered, stood still for a moment, then stopped running altogether.
Seeing this, the three of them felt relieved: “Just as expected!”
In other words, as long as one is not hit by these willow branches, there won’t be any problems.
Su Hao said, “There’s also a matter of sequence. These organs that run out have a sequence. The first is the stomach… and the last is the heart. After all the organs have run out, it’s the muscles, then the brain… But no matter what, once you’re hit, after the stomach runs out, you’re basically doomed.”
Ah Xing and Ah Wang didn’t know how Su Hao could speak so calmly about something so terrifying. After listening, their whole bodies felt numb, and it took them a while to warm up again.
After summarizing the previous clues, Su Hao concluded, “So, these branches are one of the triggering conditions for this bizarre disaster. As long as we don’t get hit by them, we’ll be fine. Moreover, all long objects, vines, weeds, etc., could also be triggering objects for the disaster. Be careful not to get hit by these things.”
Only now did Ah Xing breathe a long sigh of relief and nodded, “Finally figured out one of the triggering conditions! Let’s go, continue forward.”
The three of them continued forward, heading deeper into the willow forest.
…
Night fell quietly, the light grew dimmer, and only the swaying willow branches cast shadows. The night wind blew from an unknown direction, and the entire willow forest seemed to come alive.
Su Hao frowned, “The wind seems to be gradually increasing, perhaps the real danger is at night.”
At this point, Ah Xing and Ah Wang also felt the danger and couldn’t help but be more vigilant.
The willow branches hanging down were very dense, and if one wasn’t careful, they could be hit. If they swung randomly, there would be almost no room to dodge.
During this time, he conducted many experiments, such as putting a rat in Ah Xing’s air barrier and throwing it onto the branches. He found that as long as the branches hit the rat, the air barrier was ineffective, and all sorts of chaotic things came to life and ran away. Similarly, he wrapped a rat in a thick clump of mud, leaving only its head exposed, and threw it out, with the same result.
Ah Xing’s “Gel Forbidding Technique” could briefly restrict the swinging of the branches, but it was quickly broken by the special power on the branches.
The only effective method was Su Hao’s “Opposing Space Barrier.”
With the space barrier on, the branches couldn’t hit the body, naturally negating their effect. This discovery gradually emboldened Su Hao.
After trying various methods, he found that he was still invincible.
Su Hao thought for a moment, “Ah Xing, let’s conduct some other experiments to quickly understand the characteristics of this willow forest.”
After some consideration, Ah Xing also felt that just observing wouldn’t be useful, so it was better to try. As long as they were careful, there shouldn’t be any problems. So he asked, “How do we try?”
Su Hao casually pointed and said, “Destroy this willow forest and see.”
Ah Xing frowned, “Based on my understanding of the bizarre disaster, forcing it usually accelerates the outbreak of the disaster, resulting in more unknown dangers.”
Su Hao smiled, “It’s okay, I’m confident.”
“Ah Wang, release some ‘oil pills’ and throw them at the nearby willow trees to see if we can burn them down.”
The two of them looked at each other, feeling extremely nervous.
Ah Wang took out a box from his pocket and poured out a pile of flammable oil balls. Su Hao grabbed a handful and threw them onto the distant willow branches.
“Bang!”
The oil balls burst open, splashing a large amount of oil onto the surrounding branches.
“These are fireballs.” Ah Wang timely handed over a red-colored small ball, and Su Hao casually tossed it.
“Bang!”
A large number of flames splashed, quickly igniting the splattered oil, and a raging fire burned.
The smell of burning fresh grass leaves quickly wafted over. After patiently waiting for a while, they found that the flames were actually shaking off from the branches, like peeling a banana peel, very smoothly.
After burning off some dried leaves and weeds on the ground, the flames gradually extinguished.
“It seems that fire doesn’t work. Let’s try cutting down all these trees directly!”
Su Hao extended a finger, pointed in a direction, and a glaring white light shot out.
“Mini – Dawn Sword!”
Using his spiritual power disguised as source energy, he had no psychological pressure.
Don’t ask, if you ask, it’s the bursting Origin Mage.
He lightly flicked his finger in front of him.
“Puff puff puff!”
The densely packed sturdy willow trees in front of Su Hao were no different from tofu under his sword, all cut off at the waist, branches flying everywhere, and falling down with a “crack crack crack.”
“Whoosh!”
With Su Hao as the center, an entire fan-shaped area in front of them, one tree after another, squeezed into a bunch, and the view in front of the three suddenly cleared, with a faint light appearing in the dimness.
Ah Xing and Ah Wang looked dumbfounded, opening their mouths, unable to say a word.
Su Hao chuckled lightly, “This is my skill ‘Precise Detonation,’ of course, it can also be called Dawn Sword. Normal.”
