I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 776: Chapter 776: Playing at the Wildlife Park

A newly healed scab, ripped clean off by Ye Chong, along with a small patch of skin, was bloody and tossed onto the ground.

The clothing around the wound, stained with rust-like patches, was now drenched in bright red blood.

Yet, this still wasn’t enough.

Ye Chong’s hand hovered around the edge of the wound, exploring. His fingers even dug into the newly-healed flesh.

He slightly furrowed his brow, ignoring Tan Xiao’s repeated screams of agony. With a detached tone, he stated, “I didn’t expect your recovery ability to be this good… Looks like, this guy’s been through the maze more than twice. His cell healing ability is extremely robust…”

Ye Chong withdrew his hand, casually wiping off the blood on his fingers. His voice was soft, but carried a frigid indifference, “How enviable…”

...

The others in the cave remained silent.

Tan Xiao was heaving on the ground. His bangs were soaked with sweat, sticking to his forehead strand by strand.

Ye Chong turned to his companions and flashed a smile, asking, “How many times have each of you been through the maze?”

Hu Dashan honestly replied, “Just the once…”

Xiaoqi also said, “Once.”

The muscle man confessed, “Once, I accidentally got trapped inside and followed someone else to escape… I avoided it after running into it again.”

“Twice for me…” Tian Li answered quietly, “I escaped with the help of others both times. The first time, the enhancement to Physical Ability was really obvious, but the second time, it felt less than half as effective.”

Ye Chong smirked, saying, “I’ve been there twice as well, but mazes aren’t as fun as games. There aren’t enough people, it’s too hard to find someone to play with, too lonely…”

No one responded, all shivering at his reference to “play.”

Despite the awkward silence, Ye Chong didn’t mind. He clasped and separated his hands, and suddenly, dozens of thin rebars shot out, piercing through Tan Xiao’s body!

This time, Tan Xiao didn’t make a sound, passing out instantly!

Hu Dashan lost his composure, shouting, “What are you doing?!”

Ye Chong slowly retracted his hand, and the thin rebars followed suit, each withdrawal causing blood to gush from the wounds.

He turned his head towards Hu Dashan, “Are you, talking to me?”

In the heat of the moment, Hu Dashan had momentarily forgotten about Ye Chong’s cruelty. He swallowed hard, his momentum faltering. Nervously, he said, “I… what I mean is, his wounds are serious, why… why would you still…”

“To use him for a trade, it’s better if he looks more miserable. More miserable, so our opponent would be more alarmed, more cautious.” Ye Chong responded with a nonchalant smile, “You used to be friends, right? Don’t worry, his physique is stronger than any of ours, these injuries, they’ll heal quickly.”

Hu Dashan opened his mouth, his throat parched, unable to utter a word.

By now, all the rebars had been completely retracted back into his glove.

Despite the gruesome scene, his glove remained immaculate. It was a piercing, dazzling white.

“We’ll trade him at noon.” Ye Chong announced, turning to leave the cave. @@novelbin@@

Perhaps the reason for not taking any action now is because his teammates were too weak and needed food and water at noon.

Ye Chong left.

The others also slowly left the cave.

Tan Xiao’s blood silently seeped into the ground, slowly trickling down seams and hollows in the rocks.

Hu Dashan squatted down regretfully, heat welling up in his eyes.

Off to the side, Xiaoqi tugged at him, whispering, “Let’s go, Brother Shan, we still have patrol duties in the morning.”

Hu Dashan lifted his head to look at Xiaoqi, “Xiaoqi, let’s save Tan Xiao…”

He never thought he would be responsible for hurting Tan Xiao in this way.

Originally, he just planned to eliminate him but in order to avoid Ye Chong’s wrath, he tried to gain credit and the situation spiraled uncontrollably to this point…
