"Don't be too happy, the source stone's changes to the human body are not directional. After the gene is mutated, all consequences are unpredictable. Even if he loses his memory after waking up and becomes a lunatic, it is not impossible."

Yuchengyao poured a basin of cold water at the right time, and at the same time was once again met with Li Xin's angry eyes.

"Why didn't you say something so important earlier?"

"Did you ask me?"

Yucheng Yao glanced at her indifferently, ignoring her.

However, just as Yucheng Yao said, some indescribable changes really took place in the fire monkey.

At first, the blood stains all over his body began to peel off, but the exposed skin was still dark red, and there were some small bumps with barbs growing on it.

Is he... shedding his shell?
I can't help but think of many insects with hard shells in nature.

"it's time."

At this moment, Yucheng Yao whispered, and then her right hand crystallized, walked up to the fire monkey, directly broke the skin on the fire monkey's shoulder, and pulled out the fragments of the source stone from inside.

Just looking at it hurts.

"Don't worry, it's almost over."

Seeing that we were too nervous, Yucheng Yao smiled and said in relief, "There shouldn't be any major problems. Even if there is an accident, we can easily get rid of him. After all, he has just undergone transformation and can't master his skills proficiently." ability."

"Yes, you are an outsider, of course you can say 'easy'."

Hearing Yucheng Yao's words, Li Xin couldn't help ridiculing again.

"Help……"

Suddenly, the extremely weak voice of the fire monkey came over.

Hearing this, we were all startled, and hurried to the fire monkey.

I saw that the blood stains on his face had scabbed, and there were layers of unknown debris on his body, black and red, which looked disgusting.

He struggled to open his eyes, and said dryly, "I'm about to itch like crazy! Pull me out of this thing!"

Li Xin and I frantically pulled the fire monkey out of the pile of unknown debris.

The moment I touched Huohou's skin, I even suspected that I was holding a ball of water. His arms were as soft as noodles, and I couldn't even feel the bones. Those things on the body surface looked like barbs. Well, it feels more like some kind of fluff to the touch.

After helping Fire Monkey clean up the foreign matter on his body, I looked at him carefully with the flashlight.

The whole body is soft and red, with hairs like barbs, what kind of change is this?
The product of a failed genetic mutation?
"How are you feeling now?"

I asked cautiously.

"Feel?"

The fire monkey was slightly taken aback, and then tried to move his body, but found that his soft body could not even support him to walk.

After half a day, a wry smile gradually appeared on his face.

"I don't feel anything special except that I can't use my strength. The only good thing is that my injuries are healed, but now I can't even move my arms. It's no different from being disabled. Maybe even worse than before... ..."

Li Xin and I looked at each other, looking at Yuchengyao who was not knowing why, hoping she could give us a reasonable explanation.

"The direction of the gene mutation is not certain. There were similar results in previous experiments on the island country."

Yucheng Yao's face was also a little strange, she said in surprise, "It's just that even after the genetic mutation is successful, no matter how weak the ability is, it's still somewhat useful... This is the first time I've seen someone as weak as him."

When she said these words, it was as if a layer of haze had covered each of our hearts.

Fighting against the odds of less than one in a thousand, risking his life, in the end, he became even worse than a normal ordinary person.

This kind of blow is fine for me and Li Xin, but for Fire Monkey, he can't accept it.

"Damn!"

The fire monkey turned its back to the sky, and cursed a few times decadently, "You're playing with me! Make me like this, like a piece of waste cotton, it's better to let me die!"

"Think about it, at least, at least you succeeded and healed the injuries on your body, and even the lost arm grew back."

Li Xin managed to pull himself together, and said with a smile, "This is a great thing, but it's a pity that we are in a bad situation now, otherwise we might be able to celebrate."

Although she smiled, there was a hint of bitterness in her smile.

Fire Monkey risked his life and used the source stone fragments to transform himself. Although the transformation was successful, the result was no different from failure.

This also indicates that our next situation may be even worse.

For a while, we fell into a deathly silence, which was finally broken by Yucheng Yao.

"If I'm not wrong, at this point in time, they should have met the people from the company, but no matter which side wins, the palace of the Queen Mother of the West will be opened in the end, and once those reformers find the primordial fountain, they will We can use our abilities at will, and we have no chance to leave here."

Yucheng Yao looked at the time and said calmly, "Now we have two choices. Either, leave the underground world now, or find a way to go in with them. I respect your choice, and you make your decision."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but turn my attention to Fire Monkey and Li Xin, wanting to hear their opinions.

But they turned the blame on me.

"You decide, now the two of us are not even cannon fodder at best. If we don't follow you, it's hard to move an inch here."

Li Xin said helplessly.

Fire Monkey sighed again and again, obviously he also agreed with Li Xin's point of view.

After a little thought, I made up my mind.

Keep going!

I traveled all the way to come here, not for sightseeing, but to unravel the curse on me!

And now, the thing that unlocks the curse on me is probably the Primordial Fountain. Now that I have reached this place, I will not give up halfway.

"Do you know the exact location?"

I looked at Yucheng Yao with burning eyes, knowing that she, who was the leader of the island country before, must have a better understanding of Xiwangmu Palace than I do.

As I expected, Yucheng Yao nodded and said, "It will take less than an hour to walk along the high wall beside us in the direction we came from."

I subconsciously raised the flashlight and glanced at the high wall tens of meters high.

Although the wall looks smooth, it shouldn't be particularly difficult for the well-equipped teams of the company and the island country to climb up and climb over the wall, right?

"Those who tried, all died."

Yucheng Yao saw my thoughts and explained.

I nodded, put away my unrealistic thoughts, carried the limp fire monkey on my back, and walked ahead first.

"Let's go and meet them."
