Chapter 704: Birth! The Flame Bloodsucking Werewolf - The Mighty Hogg

As it turned out, Zhou Yuan and Roberts' research was a resounding success.

All ten Bloodsucking Werewolf fire element experiments were successful.

The feasibility and safety of this method had been thoroughly validated.

Then, under Yu Yuan's watchful gaze, Hogg began the extraction of his hematopoietic stem cells.

"Leader, thank goodness we have this Civilization Relic laboratory, it's saved us a lot of time. In about an hour, Hogg's bone marrow fluid can be rapidly extracted and we can proceed with the element activation experiment."

Miller said with considerable excitement.

This research had gone from a mere concept, to a formal project, to infiltrating the Blood Clan's Bloodline River to capture the silver-glowing blood, and then to genetic fusion.

Step by step, Miller had been in charge of nearly the entire process. He knew all too well how monumental and unbelievable this research was.

A brand new fused race was being born in his hands. This sense of accomplishment made Miller incredibly excited.

He was now desperate to see Hogg.

His greatest work, undergoing its final sublimation.

He patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't get so worked up, this is nothing yet! Hogg is only Silver-tier right now, but the potential I see in him... is Gold-tier!"

Yu Yuan's voice was so soft that Miller felt he might be hearing things.

He turned to Yu Yuan in disbelief.

"Leader, what did you just say... Gold-tier?"

Yu Yuan didn't answer, just offered a knowing smile.

Miller felt his brain explode.

Gold-tier.

That was something he had never dared to imagine.

Miller's gaze shifted to Hogg, who was already undergoing bone marrow extraction, and his eyes gradually lit up.

"Gold-tier..."

Inside the laboratory, Hogg didn't allow them to inject anesthesia.

He had had enough of Spirituality Inhibitors. He would rather endure the pain of bone marrow puncture and extraction head-on than fall into slumber again.

Yu Yuan chose to respect Hogg's request.

Fortunately, all the surgical instruments in this laboratory were Epic-tier starred items.

Although Hogg's skin, muscles, and bones were absurdly tough.

In Mortarian's laboratory, creatures far more robust than Hogg's physique had been dissected countless times.

The bone marrow extraction process went quite smoothly.

Hogg sat there, frowning, drinking the Epic-tier Blood Brew.

Replenishing the bone marrow cells his body was consuming.

"Red bone marrow fluid extraction complete, separating hematopoietic stem cells..."

"Subject undergoing bone marrow cavity pretreatment..."

Zhou Yuan carried out the experimental steps methodically.

With the help of the Epic-tier experimental equipment, the hematopoietic stem cells were quickly separated. Then, after being injected into a special liquid, they began element activation.

This process was quite lengthy, taking over two full hours, with everyone's eyes fixed on the experimental instruments.

Finally.

As the detection light suddenly flashed on.

Zhou Yuan, abandoning her previous composed demeanor, issued a loud command.

"Immediately inject the element culture fluid."

As the pale yellow liquid was injected, more and more detection lights illuminated.

Meanwhile, on the screen, a progress bar was rapidly climbing.

7% - 34% - 69% - 99%

When the number hit 100%, Zhou Yuan broke into a smile and let out a long breath.

"The most critical step is complete. All that's left is to reinfuse these hematopoietic stem cells."

Miller also breathed a sigh of relief and began explaining to Yu Yuan.

He pointed in Hogg's direction.

"After extracting the bone marrow earlier, Hogg was given a bone marrow inhibitor. Over this period, the inhibitor has suppressed his bone marrow, destroying and clearing out his existing hematopoietic system.

His bone marrow is now in a 'cavity state.' Once we reinfuse the hematopoietic stem cells through a peripheral vein, these element-activated stem cells will circulate throughout his body via the bloodstream.

When they pass through the bone marrow cavity, they will actively cross the vascular wall and enter the bone marrow microenvironment. There, they will divide, proliferate, and rebuild an entirely new hematopoietic system, thereby altering the genes throughout his body..."

"We call this - Homing!"

"Homing!" Yu Yuan murmured softly.

When the hematopoietic stem cells were reinfused into his body.

Hogg could feel that something seemed to be happening to his body.

Hot one moment, cold the next.

He could feel his body undergoing an incredible transformation.

Therefore, he endured the various discomforts his body was transmitting with all his might.

In fact, as an experimental subject, Hogg had previously observed the entire experimental process firsthand.

He was well aware that this was a normal part of the body modification process.

Compared to the discomfort his body was feeling now.

He was more looking forward to how much his strength would increase after this.

The Morphis Civilization Relic had no distinction between day and night.

But Yu Yuan knew that the time had already reached 1 AM.

The experiment had also reached its conclusion.

Hogg, who had kept his eyes tightly shut, slowly opened them.

With a flicker of his form, Hogg had already left the laboratory and arrived at the open ground outside, with everyone following.

Awooo~~

Red flames ignited in Hogg's eyes, then spread throughout his entire body.

A werewolf transformation completely different from before occurred.

Flame Werewolf.

This was the true Flame Bloodsucking Werewolf.

Crimson flames blazed and danced upon Hogg's body.

The fire was dazzling and dangerous.

With the wolf's howl, the flames abruptly surged to over a dozen meters tall, distorting the air. The keratinized ground was directly vaporized under the scorching heat of the red flames.

Even from several hundred meters away, Yu Yuan could clearly feel the intense heat rushing toward him.

On the Combat Detector, the red light point marking Hogg's location was exceptionally brilliant.

"2200 degrees Celsius, that red flame actually reaches 2200 degrees... How is that possible?"

A researcher stared at the temperature detector in his hand, his face filled with horror.

Steel melts at 1370 degrees Celsius and boils between 2750 and 3000 degrees.

Rock melts between 1000 and 1400 degrees, and anything beyond that turns it into magma.

The current temperature had far exceeded the melting points of steel and rock, reaching a level capable of vaporizing metal and stone outright.

Yet, such a temperature was emanating from a living being.

Hogg, however, seemed oblivious to the heat of the red flames. He looked at his own hands, clenched his fists, and felt the surging power within.

His gaze fixed on a half-collapsed building several hundred meters away.

"Ha!"

His left foot stepped forward, his right arm pulled back, and he unleashed a charged straight punch.

A crimson fireball, roughly fifty centimeters in diameter, shot out from Hogg's fist.

After a sonic boom, it crossed the several-hundred-meter distance in an instant, appearing right before the abandoned building.

Boom!

As the flash of fire passed, a massive hole, five meters in diameter and punching straight through the entire structure, appeared in the building.

Gulp.

Someone swallowed hard.

In fact, not to mention the others, even Yu Yuan felt his scalp tingle at this moment.

The distance between that building and Hogg was no less than four hundred meters.

And although the building was already in ruins, its thickness was still several dozen meters.

Yet it had been punched straight through by Hogg in a single blow.

Looking at the molten liquid dripping from the edges of the hole, Yu Yuan understood!

He seemed to have created a terrifying monster.
