Henry was confused by what he had seen.
This broken sword was from the Loulan Desert, and Henry knew how sharp it was. So he wasn't surprised that it could cut the creature's skin open.
What puzzled Henry was the fact the creature was so scared of the broken sword. It definitely couldn't just because it was sharp.
Henry stuck the broken sword inside of the cage. The creature cried out in frightening. His whole body shrank and trembled.
"Henry, what is this treasure? Why the King of the Jungle scared of it so much?" Flynn stared at the broken sword in Henry's hand with curiosity.
Henry smiled and put away the broken sword, "You probably will scare it to death just by a kitchen knife."
"I'll give it a pass," Flynn shook his head, "I don't want to be bitten by that thing. So what next? We are going out of this place with that thing?"
"I don't think so," Henry declined Flynn's suggestion, "The Ba-Serpent is scared of this
monkey-like creature because it doesn't know the creature is injured. If the other creatures see this is how their king looked like, they will definitely run over and devour it to get its genes."
"But we should figure out a way to escape," Flynn looked worried, "The food and water are about to run out. You know they have already passed sell-by-date. If it weren't for the fact that I'm famished, I would never have eaten them. Just for the record, I will never touch those experiment sample bodies, god knows what they are!"
Seeing the monkey-like creature had already scared to death, Henry stopped cutting its claws. He also didn't want to draw too much of Flynn's attention onto the broken sword. Henry shut the gate of the cage and put the cage to the side, "Are you familiar with the surroundings?"
Flynn shook his head, "This whole year, I trapped myself inside of the lab, didn't dare to go anywhere. I haven't had a peaceful sleep for a long time."
Henry sighed and said, "You go and take a nap. I don't think there will be any danger in a while. When you get up, we have a lot to work on.
Two days had passed in the blink of an eye.
In the underground world of Recluse Association just outside of the entrance of the Purgatory.
Andrew and Sackcloth Visitor stood in front of the stone wall. Andrew's two men weren't with them.
"He hasn't come out yet. I guess he had found himself an exit to run away," Sackcloth Visitor said in a hoarse voice, "Once Henry leaves, you don't have any reason to call him back. He has fulfilled his promise to come to Recluse Association."
Sackcloth Visitor seemed to tell Andrew about his loss, but in fact, he was warning Andrew that he was longer about to force Henry to do anything.
"No way," Andrew shook his head, "We've already explored the whole area. There is no other way. The area is surrounded by a layer of black matter, which makes it impossible to breakthrough. He is playing delaying tactics, and I'll play with him."
Thousands of miles away, in Yinzhou City.
