Chapter 28: Chapter 28: The First Practice of Flesh and Blood Technology

"Is the Mountain God real or fake?"

"I don’t know, I’ve never been up there, I just leave the bride at the foot of the mountain every year."

"Where is the bride kept?"

"In the temple, in the basement underneath."

Between questions and answers, the inside story was quickly unraveled; all the villagers in Fengtai Village knew about it, so this muscular man named Qian Tiezhu naturally understood.

"Those should be all the details, do you have any other questions," said Huang Enhao, wiping the blood off his scalpel.

"When did the Mountain God ritual start, what’s its origin, and why is your village called Fengtai Village?" Gu Shanhai asked, having repaired the paper window, revealing his own perplexity.

"This... I don’t know, it has been there since a very long time ago, probably only the village chief would know about these," Qian Tiezhu shrank his neck, speaking somewhat fearfully.

"So, you basically don’t know why, huh," Gu Shanhai felt more and more that there was a problem here.

There definitely had to be more issues, as the mission couldn’t be this simple.

So-called fortune comes with the phoenix; a small village named Fengtai Village must have relevant legends, especially since the problems were all with females, which inevitably led to associations. Although a phoenix is male, it broadly represents femininity rather than its original male identity.

"Do you think there are still problems here?" Huang Enhao asked.

"Yes, if it were just simple human traffickers, they wouldn’t have let us come. Maybe the Mountain God is real," Gu Shanhai spoke bluntly.

"Then, shall we follow the usual procedure tomorrow?" Heavenly Immortal drunkenly asked.

"Huang, you focus on finding out about the Mountain God ritual tomorrow. I’ll go to the temple with Heavenly Immortal. You should be like a detective, doctor kind of real-world system, you’re probably not too good with mystical stuff," Gu Shanhai easily spotted Huang Enhao’s skill system.

Huang Enhao naturally didn’t argue and just nodded in agreement. As for Gu Shanhai setting a fire, they would do it together when the time came.

"How shall we handle him then, after killing him, dealing with the body will be tricky," Heavenly Immortal drunkenly asked. He was a good person, but not a saint; for such sinful acts in the village, he hadn’t considered sending them to prison, solving it himself would be more satisfying.

Even though he was kind-hearted, he was still a player, and the main purpose of playing the game was to satisfy.

"Wait, you can’t kill me. If I die, it will definitely alarm the village chief, and then you won’t be able to do anything," Qian Tiezhu hurriedly said.

"We can’t kill him, this is a human life after all," Gu Shanhai said with a smile, then continued, "Leave him to me, I assure you he won’t cause any trouble."

Hearing Gu Shanhai’s words, Qian Tiezhu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, yes, yes, I won’t cause trouble, and I can even help you gather information," Qian Tiezhu quickly agreed with Gu Shanhai.

But Heavenly Immortal and Huang Enhao found it odd. Although they had not been in contact with Gu Shanhai for long, from his personality, he didn’t seem like someone prone to excessive empathy.

So, the two naturally thought about Gu Shanhai’s talents or skills, just unsure of what they were exactly.

But since he was confident, they decided to do as Gu Shanhai had suggested.

Gu Shanhai stretched out his hand and pinched the back of Qian Tiezhu’s neck, causing him to pass out instantly.

"Watch him for me; I’m going to find some materials, and then we’ll have another helper," Gu Shanhai said, then walked out the door.

His idea was simple; this was the perfect opportunity to practice fleshcrafting, and since the other party had presented themselves, he wouldn’t hold back.

"Currently, fungi and animals are the most stable, insects next, and plants are the hardest."

"Forget fungi, too noticeable, just pick a suitable animal."

Gu Shanhai had to make do; originally, he planned to choose an insect, they were the easiest to catch, but for safety, he canceled that idea.

"Cats, dogs, chickens, ducks are most common, but they aren’t suitable for human form."

Fengtai Village was poor, they couldn’t afford to keep livestock like cows or sheep, so only poultry was available.

"Birds are even less suitable. If there were an ox, that would be great, their thick skin and meat make them excellent meat shields."

After searching to no avail for a good animal, Gu Shanhai’s eyes finally landed on a rat.

"A rat is quite good; after integration, it could have decent combat abilities and it also carries a multitude of bacteria and viruses."

"It could be used to inflict toxin-based damage, worth a try."

Gu Shanhai wasn’t planning to create a Rat Head Man since the Rat Head Man didn’t align with his concept; Rat Head Men had decent combat abilities, but the cost was a bit high.

He intended to create a rat creature focused on toxins and plague for support and weakening purposes, combat power wasn’t the key.

It was more like a plague amalgam.

This way, the cost was reduced, yet allowed for more in-depth experiments and learning, enabling him to further understand the fleshcrafting technology.

Other animals might be rare, but rats were everywhere.

Gu Shanhai quickly caught one and headed back, pinching the rat’s head. The rat struggled, but it simply could not escape, couldn’t even bite.

"Is this what you call materials?" Huang Enhao looked at the rat in Gu Shanhai’s hand somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, it’ll help us create a fighter. Given the developments, the enemies we might face aren’t ordinary, having another pair of hands could help," Gu Shanhai said as he took out some equipment from his portable laboratory.

The other two had little to think; they just assumed Gu Shanhai took it from his inventory, yet they were somewhat shocked; they hadn’t expected Gu Shanhai to bring out so many items.

"Here, lend a hand and strip him of his clothes," Gu Shanhai said while arranging the equipment and looking at the idle pair.

"Stripping too? Your skills have quite some restrictions," Heavenly Immortal drunkenly muttered, but followed Gu Shanhai’s instructions regardless.

"The stronger the skill at this stage, the greater the restrictions; you see, I even need tools to perform," Gu Shanhai explained, and it was true.

It would be much better after higher-tier worlds opened; at this stage, it was mostly like this.

If not because higher-tier worlds had not yet opened, he would have mixed into one much earlier.

Huang Enhao and Heavenly Immortal quickly did their part, stripping Qian Tiezhu naked like a dead pig. After Gu Shanhai finished processing the rat, he then took the materials and began the formal modification on Qian Tiezhu.
