My Waste Husband -
Chapter 1004
Chapter 1004
Half of Henry's body raised above the water. After sending Flynn away, Henry breathed a sigh of relief.
The thumping sound of his heartbeat didn't slow down. On the contrary, it was getting faster. Henry estimated that his heart rate had reached a hundred and fifty beats per second. Only a fetus could have a heartbeat that fast.
At the same time, it had become very hard for Henry to control his fury and thirst for blood. He wanted to rip apart every living thing in front of him.
Henry decided to release all his desire for violence and blood at this place. Otherwise, Flynn would sure be his victim when they got back to the abandoned lab. The little sense Henry had left told him that Flynn was his key to level against Andrew.
"B*stard, only you and I now. Come, show me how powerful the monster from the Classic of Mountains and Seas can be!" Henry stared at the surface of the lake.
A shadow was slowly approaching Henry from the bottom of the lake. It suddenly
jumped out of the water and opened its bloodied mouth.
"Ha, you can only sneak on me?"
Behind Henry, a shadow of an eagle was formed. The shadow eagle snatched the Luo Fish that had just leaped out of the water.
Henry didn't only desire violence, but also blood. But he didn't want to swallow those monsters. Who knew what were those? Henry didn't want himself to turn into one of those. So he thought he might just pick one of the strongest to satisfy his desire for violence first.
On the dark surface of the lake, the shadow of the eagle and Luo Fish collided with each other, water splashing all around.
Around the lake, countless creatures with bloodied red eyes were tearing each other apart.
Flynn ran back toward the lab as fast as he could. He was attacked countless times, especially in the area near the lake. After escaping from his death many times, he finally made it back to the lab, covered in blood. One of his legs was severely injured. The wound was deep to the bones.
Because of the presence of the King of the Jungle, the lab area wasn't attacked by the other creatures. Otherwise, Flynn wouldn't be back there alive.
As soon as he got into the lab, Flynn heard a roar. The King of the Jungle was wrestling with the locked cage violently, and it too had a pair of bloodied red eyes. However, because of its injury, the King of the Jungle wouldn't be able to break free.
Flynn was relieved. He then looked into the distance.
"Henry..."
Suddenly, there was darkness in front of Flynn's eyes. He fell to the floor and fainted. He was poised by the creatures who attacked him.
Sometime later, Flynn woke up. He had no idea how long he had been passed out. There was no clock, no calendar, and even no window for him to check. He looked toward the cage. The King of the Jungle had already calmed down, lying on the bottom of the cage with its eyes closed.
Flynn tried to get up, but he realized that he couldn't feel his legs and right arm. He then took a deep breath and hoped to gather Qi to strengthen himself. But he realized that he couldn't do that either. The poison in his body was too strong. His weakened muscle couldn't support him to circulate Qi.
He looked toward the door of the lab. A man was lying on the floor, covered in blood.
Flynn's face lit up with joy. He shouted in surprise, "Henry!"
There was only one man who could be lying there, and that was Henry.
It was obvious that Henry was also severely injured. He couldn't hear or respond to Flynn's calling because he was in a comma.
Flynn used his only functional arm to crawl toward Henry.
Back to the underground world of Recluse Association.
Andrew and Sackcloth Visitor were still waiting in front of the stone wall.
Sackcloth Visitor lowered the brim of his straw hat and said in a hoarse voice, "Commissioner Andrew, it's been five days, and Henry hasn't come back yet. He may be already dead."
With a snort, Andrew responded, "Sackcloth Visitor, what's the matter? You really don't want the Europe Recluse Association to get the secret of the eighteenth level of the City of Hell, do you?"
"I'm only in grief at a possible fallen of a genius. My Lord thinks highly of Henry. If Henry is indeed dead, My Lord won't let things go easily."
"Ha," said Andrew with a disdainful smile. "Sackcloth Visitor, you don't need to threaten me with Lord Sanford Chu. Henry has accepted the warden position, so technically he is under my jurisdiction. Lord Sanford Chu can't do anything about Henry, even if he wants to. In fact, Henry went after the monsters against my will. If anyone wants revenge, they should go after those monsters there!"
Finished his words, Andrew threw his arm and said, "If you want to stay here, be my guest. I have things to do."
He then turned to leave.
Sackcloth Visitor stared at the stonewall and muttered, "Kid, you don't look like someone who can be killed easily. Don't forget about this. There are too many responsibilities on your shoulders."
In lab of the Purgatory.
Seven days had passed since Henry and Flynn escaped from the lake.
Flynn had just found the antidote of the poison in his body the day before.
As for Henry, he was lying in the dorm area on the third floor. There were hundreds of wounds on his body, and all the wounds contained foreign Qi. Henry needed to push those Qi out. Otherwise, it was hard for him to recover.
Flynn found some medicines to stop Henry from bleeding. He then bandaged the wounds with gauze. Other than those, Flynn couldn't do anything.
Henry's face was full of bitterness. He hadn't needed so much medical attention for a very long time. Before this, the wounds would have been healed before a doctor showed up.
"Henry, how are you feeling?" Flynn went to Henry's bedside and asked. He had deep gratitude toward Henry. Flynn knew that without Henry, he would have long died.
Henry replied, "That fish is strong, but its Qi isn't that well-cultivated. It just reaches Qi- transformation Realm as I do. Give me another day, I can push all its Qi out of my body."
In fact, Henry had done that the day before. To hide his true capacity from Flynn, he pretended to be unable to stay out of bed for days.
Hearing Henry's words, Flynn breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said with a face of admiration, "Henry, you are so awesome! I saw the Luo Fish from the surveillance video today. Half of its body is gone. You have only reached Qi-transformation Realm! I saw that thing fight with a Qi- concentrating Realm master before, and it tore that master into pieces. Doesn't it mean that, even at the stage of Qi-transformation Realm, you are already more powerful than a master in the Qi- concentrating Realm?"
Henry gave a bitter smile and told Flynn a lie, "It wasn't that. There was another monster who came over to fight the Luo Fish. I simply slipped away. You overestimated my capacity!"
