Chapter 250: Experiment 2

"Shall we try again?" This time, Meng Yifan took out a Second Grade Demon Core from an Eagle Monster Beast, preparing to have that First Grade Death Row Prisoner consume it.

"No, no, I won't eat it, I won't eat such poison." The First Grade Death Row Prisoner resisted with all his might, clenching his teeth tight, refusing to eat it.

The scene just now where the previous death row prisoner exploded directly after consuming it was truly too terrifying; this First Grade Death Row Prisoner would rather die than swallow the Demon Core.

"Hmph! Eat it quickly, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit." Meng Yifan said coldly.

This death row prisoner was that guy who loved eating children's brains; because of him, over a dozen little children had died, and countless families were shattered. For such human scum, a single slash to kill him would be letting him off easy.

"I won't eat it, it will explode, I won't eat it, please have mercy and spare me." When this First Grade Death Row Prisoner killed other people's children, he was heartless and ruthless, but when it was his turn to face death, he was as cowardly as a pile of mud, weeping bitterly and begging incessantly. One wonders if those little children he killed with his own hands had begged him like this.

Meng Yifan grew impatient waiting; he pinched the death row prisoner's mouth, flicked his finger, and the Demon Core rolled right into his stomach.

"That is not poison. Once the medicinal effect takes hold in a moment, circulate your cultivation technique and absorb the energy inside," Meng Yifan said.

The First Grade Death Row Prisoner was half-believing and half-doubting Meng Yifan's words. Unfortunately, others were the knife and chopping board while he was the fish and meat; he had no power to resist at all and could only circulate his cultivation as Meng Yifan said, yearning to be able to convert the Demon Power.

Very quickly, changes also occurred on this First Grade Death Row Prisoner's body. This time, no large lumps appeared on his body; instead, dense feathers began to grow out from the pores of his skin.

The First Grade Death Row Prisoner's originally flat nose turned into a hooked eagle nose, his mouth protruded just like an eagle's beak, and the nails on his hands and feet were like eagle talons. All these changes confirmed to Meng Yifan that directly consuming a Demon Core would truly cause the body to mutate toward a Demon Beast.

The First Grade Death Row Prisoner was covered in sweat; he also discovered the changes in his own body, but he could not care about these at all now.

There was a massive amount of energy erupting inside his body, wanting to blow him up directly.

The First Grade Death Row Prisoner wanted to mobilize this energy to circulate within his meridians, but it was like a small horse pulling a heavy cart; he used all his might, and that massive energy only moved a little bit.

"Ah! It hurts! It hurts too much!" The First Grade Death Row Prisoner gritted his teeth, his expression ferocious. He felt that strand after strand of violent energy was rampaging, and his fragile meridians were being stretched until dense cracks appeared.

"Bang!" The First Grade Death Row Prisoner only held on for a few breaths of time before his meridians were directly blown apart. Then, the energy, having lost its restraint, spread in all directions, directly churning his internal organs into a mess.

"Pfft!" The First Grade Death Row Prisoner opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, which also contained fragments of internal organs.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!" A terrifying scene occurred. This First Grade Death Row Prisoner first sprayed blood from his mouth, then from both nostrils, followed by his eyes, both ears, and his rear end—all began to spray blood. In the end, even the pores on his body began to spurt blood outward.

The whole person looked like a sprinkler, constantly spraying blood outward, making one's scalp tingle and feel a chill of horror just looking at it.

Half a minute later, this First Grade Death Row Prisoner died. His body was shriveled, having completely lost its moisture, and the corpse was like a dried mummy.

Meng Yifan watched in secret shock; he had not expected the danger of consuming a Demon Core to be this great. Fortunately, he had not recklessly consumed one himself.

"The energy within the Demon Core is extremely violent. After being digested by the digestive system, the energy will surge out. At the very beginning, this First Grade Death Row Prisoner tried to control that energy; at that time, he didn't seem to have much of a problem, but later he failed to control it, which led to the energy running wild and him dying from blood loss."

Meng Yifan summarized the experience, then took a Second Grade Demon Core from a Toad and handed it to that Second Grade Death Row Prisoner.

The Second Grade Death Row Prisoner was a smart man; he knew that resistance was useless and also knew that eating the Demon Core might lead to death, but if he didn't eat it, he would be tortured by Meng Yifan until he wished he were dead. Therefore, he was very straightforward; without needing Meng Yifan to act, he tilted his head back and swallowed the Demon Core.

Before the Demon Core was even digested, this Second Grade Death Row Prisoner began to circulate his True Qi. Then, when the Demon Core began to melt and the surging energy spread out, he used his own True Qi as a guide, controlling the energy to circulate within his own meridians.

"It really can be refined." Meng Yifan's eyes lit up. His Spiritual Power had been enveloping this Second Grade Death Row Prisoner's body, and he clearly observed that as it circulated through the meridians, the energy of the Demon Core was truly being converted into the death row prisoner's own True Qi bit by bit.

"Huh!" Meng Yifan paused. He sensed that the energy output from within the Demon Core was relatively stable at first, but half a minute later, the Demon Core was like a breached floodgate, with all the energy surging out at once, which made it impossible for the Second Grade Death Row Prisoner to control.

The Second Grade Death Row Prisoner's expression changed drastically. Lumps the size of fists bulged out on his stomach, as if there were large rats inside trying to dig through his stomach to get out.

The Second Grade Death Row Prisoner tried his best, wanting to use his own True Qi to pull the violent energy of the Demon Core into his meridians to refine it. The two sides initially fell into a stalemate, but very quickly, the energy of the Demon Core...

At the beginning, the direction in which this large lump moved could still be traced, but very quickly, the lump began to lose control.

The Second Grade Death Row Prisoner's True Qi and the violent energy of the Demon Core used his body as a battlefield, engaging in a fierce confrontation. Lumps bulged on his stomach, and then the lumps began to move rapidly; here it would sink in, there it would bulge out, looking extremely bizarre.

Not only that, the veins on the Second Grade Death Row Prisoner's body were like little snakes, winding and twisting, constantly jumping. The whole person looked like a monster, making one feel a chill of horror.

"Pfft!" The Second Grade Death Row Prisoner tried his best to control it, but unfortunately, the vast energy output of the Demon Core was too fast. He held on for a while, but could no longer persist; his meridians snapped, his internal organs were torn apart, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he died with great unwillingness.

All three death row prisoners died after consuming Demon Cores. Through their performances after consuming the Demon Cores, Meng Yifan had already preliminarily summarized some experience.

Firstly, the energy within the Demon Core can be refined and absorbed by humans.

However, the energy within the Demon Core is extremely violent. The moment the Demon Core is melted by the digestive system, the energy inside will surge out. If one cannot control this energy, the internal organs will be torn apart, and one will be heavily injured if not killed.

As for mutating and becoming demonized after consuming a Demon Core, Meng Yifan did not care about this, because he had once been infected with Corpse Poison, and his body had already mutated once, somewhat similar to a Zombie Body.

However, after Meng Yifan later became an Immortal Cultivator, his Spirit Power refined the Corpse Poison, and his body converted back toward a normal state.
