Ascension failed, the system took me away

Cold, shaking.

When Tan San regained consciousness, he found that his egg was gone.

The body had returned to its original form at some point, lying on a metal table.

There were many rings on the platform that seemed to be cast as one piece, binding him tightly to it and making it impossible for him to move.

At the same time, the metal platform that tied him up vibrated from time to time, dispersing the strength that he instinctively gathered in his body.

He felt weak all over, as if the deformation of his flesh and blood had lost its effect and he was unable to adapt to the environment where he was tied up.

Of course, it is also possible that the instinct of flesh and blood did not sense the danger and judged that the current situation was safe to live in, so the spontaneous adaptation mechanism failed to activate.

"Yes, you have the best physique among this batch of experimental subjects." A strange female voice came.

Tan San's head was also tied up and he couldn't turn it, but he had eight eyes distributed on both sides of his head, giving him a wide field of vision.

He saw a petite woman in colorful clothes and a crystal spider hair accessory on her head looking at him.

At the same time, I also saw the scene behind the woman: a row of metal tables arranged horizontally, with people lying on them.

He was very familiar with those people because they all looked exactly like him, except that they all seemed to be in a coma and had not woken up.

"What's going on?" Tan San was a little confused.

The next moment, memories came flooding back like a tide, and scenes emerged in my mind one after another like a passing show.

Devour the enemy, fuse flesh and blood, fight against the out-of-control distortion, integrate the memory knowledge, and find a ray of hope at the critical moment...

"I'm still alive... I succeeded..." he muttered to himself.

"Yes, you succeeded." Yu Zhu affirmed.

"Thank you for your contribution. This experiment will surely go down in the history of Xia Country, and you will also be remembered in history!"

Hearing Yu Zhu's words, Tan San was shocked and remembered some rumors.

"Experiment? Xiaguo?"

"Is this the extremely terrifying Xia people in the legend?"

The four eyes on one side of his head stared at the Jade Spider, feeling a little unbelievable.

Tan San is a newborn demon in the overseas North Continent and has not experienced the previous era.

Even before he was born, those vampires, druids, and remnants of the Holy Light who attempted to establish an ugly and vicious country had all been cleared out by the Xia Kingdom and turned into scattered tribes.

Later, as the environment became harsher, people on this continent focused all their energy on survival and had no habit of recording history at all.

Therefore, regarding things in the past, only oral traditions are left among the oldest surviving elders.

Of course, this word of mouth is meant literally.

Swallow someone else's head into your mouth, digest their brain and gain their memory.

This is the unique oral tradition among the experimental subjects at the overseas Kitasu experimental site.

Tan San led his tribe to fight in all directions, devouring the strongest people he defeated, among whom were remnants of past eras.

For example, the ghost warrior leader died in his hands at the beginning because he relied on his seniority and was careless and did not dodge.

This guy is the oldest first-generation ghost, who was directly transformed from a Japanese samurai. He had experienced the battle with the Zhuyang Army of the Xia Kingdom and knew a lot of things.

After obtaining their memories, Tan San also learned more information.

For example, the origin of ghosts, believers of gods, strange evil sorcerers, and places beyond the sea.

And there is also the existence that no one mentions much and no one even wants to think about - Xia Country.

It was a terrifying country that even the gods had no choice but to avoid.

From the memories of his defeated generals, Tan San could feel their fear and hatred towards Xia Kingdom.

Of course, fear accounts for a larger proportion.

'What kind of existence is this?'

After learning the secrets of the past, Tan San has been very curious about Xia Country, but he has never seen anything related to Xia Country where he lives.

It seems that the mysterious country is just a legend!

As the environment became increasingly harsh, he no longer had the time to think about these unrealistic things. Surviving was the most important thing.

Gradually, the curiosity in my heart was quelled, buried in the corner of my memory, and never mentioned again.

Now the living Xia people were standing before him, arousing his buried curiosity.

'I wonder what will happen to the people of this legendary country after they are devoured!'

This thought subconsciously popped up in Tan San's mind, but it was suppressed the next moment because the current situation was not very optimistic.

From hearing the word "experiment" and the fact that the thirty-three of them met together, he had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

He and thirty-two other people were all Xia Guo's experimental subjects.

As for the purpose of the experiment, it is probably related to the mysterious and dangerous place that causes the loss of strength in the body.

Thinking that his life had always been controlled by others and manipulated at will, Tan San couldn't help but feel angry.

Unfortunately, he was now tied up tightly, like a fish on a chopping board, unable to jump over and could only be slaughtered.

The feeling of powerlessness made him feel despair for the first time.

As if noticing Tan San's mood change, Yu Zhu, who was standing beside him, said calmly with her hands behind her back, "Don't lose hope, young man. As long as you're alive, everything is possible."

"Perhaps there will be an accident in our experiment, and you can take the opportunity to escape then."

Hearing this, Tan San's emotions became even more complicated, but after a brief period of ups and downs, he finally stabilized.

As a being who has managed to survive in a place like the North Continent overseas, which is close to the forbidden zone of life, his will to survive is as firm as a mountain, and he cannot be shaken even when despair is imminent.

"Live on, I must live on, live better than anyone else..."

This is Tan San's deepest wish and his almost crazy obsession.

Yu Zhu looked at the data displayed on the ruler in her hand which was almost stable and nodded with satisfaction.

The best experimental subjects are those who can calm down and cooperate automatically.

Then he waved the ruler, and several people came over and pushed Tan San, who had woken up, away.

Then Jade Spider continued her patrol, watching over the other Tan San who had not yet woken up.

After a period of observation, it was confirmed that the Gu King had entered a deep sleep and was unable to move, just as Da Congming had said.

So Yu Zhu, as the person in charge, took the lead and personally crossed the space crack to go into the unknown void.

You can't stay in such a dangerous place for a long time. Although the Jade Spider has not been active recently, it is still one of the most powerful cultivators in the Xia Kingdom.

She was very fast. It only took her two and a half seconds to successfully find the location of the Gu King and directly retrieve it.

The graduates who saw the dean take action for the first time saw the petite jade spider holding an enormous egg on its head with one hand and strolling out of the space crack.

An art student who had learned from the master painter Hu Si immediately picked up his pen and drew an emoticon of a beautiful girl and a brave man with the strength to pull up mountains. It quickly spread throughout the entire Xia country network.
