Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 387 - 50: Interrogating the Ancient Ape and Rounding Off_2

Tang Feiji recalled Tang Xian’s subsequent words and said:

"Don’t be nervous, this is just a very common question. I mean no harm; I’m just asking casually. Even if you can’t turn into a human, I won’t give you a hard time."

"Can’t..."

"That’s truly a shame, hahahahahaha..."

The Long-Eared Ancient Ape had a bad premonition.

At that moment, Tang Xian, carrying Qing JiuYu on his back, walked over slowly and said:

"Tang Feiji, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing."

Tang Xian didn’t care.

His gaze fell on the Long-Eared Ancient Ape, which likewise sized up Tang Xian.

"You should realize that your situation is very worrisome now, right?"

The Long-Eared Ancient Ape was a very intelligent beast among all creatures. It not only realized this but also cooperated by showing a frightened and anxious expression.

Trying to analyze Tang Xian’s mind and then cater to his thoughts.

It said nervously:

"My lord... please don’t kill me. I will tell you everything I know! I am truly innocent! It has always been Jinyin Dragon and Epidemic Origin forcing me!"

"Mmm, before that, I have a question for you."

"Ask away, I will definitely answer!"

"Can you turn into a human?"

The ancient ape wasn’t a disaster-level boss creature, but Tang Xian always felt there was something special about it.

After all, they wore human clothes and spoke human language; it was just a subconscious question from Tang Xian.

But this behavior left the ancient ape dumbfounded.

Why is history so astonishingly similar?

How could it not comprehend the actions of this human and dragon pair? Why did they both ask if it could turn into a human?

"Can’t..."

"That is a pity, hehe." Tang Xian’s smile was not as exaggerated as Tang Feiji’s, gentle and elegant, with a sense of regret and encouragement.

Tang Feiji, witnessing this scene, suddenly realized how narrowly he had escaped death himself.

"Alright, back to the main issue. Do you know the details of the other Judgment Chiefs at the Wan Beasts Tribunal?"

"What are you going to do with them?"

"If you know, then answer truthfully; if you don’t, just say you don’t. Tang Feiji, break its arm."

A crisp sound of dislocated bones rang out, and the ancient ape let out an instinctive monkey’s wail of pain.

"Don’t be afraid. I don’t want to be a big villain, but we all have precious time. You need to rid yourself of all desire for knowledge and resistance to interrogation. Understand?"

The ancient ape nodded frantically, its bloodshot eyes filled with agony.

"I don’t know... Ever since I was born and my language skills were developed, I have been serving Jinyin Dragon and Epidemic Origin."

"Then say something you think might save your life and be valuable, because I’m going to kill you now since you don’t know what I’m asking about."

The Long-Eared Ancient Ape shivered, thinking, what kind of vicious human is this?

His casual words were like discussing an everyday topic.

Qing JiuYu was seeing this side of Tang Xian for the first time, but she found it very satisfying.

She found Tang Xian even more pleasing to the eye.

The Long-Eared Ancient Ape panicked; how could it know what information was useful or useless to this man?

It clutched its face, showing immense anxiety.

Other interrogations focused on specific questions, but Tang Xian came up with an open-ended interrogation.

"You have ten seconds left before you lose another arm. Don’t hurry; there’s plenty of time. See, even after I finish my sentence, there are still five seconds left."

The devil.

Tang Feiji was truly grateful for the first time that he could turn into a despicable human being.

After five seconds, just as Tang Feiji was eager to twist off the other arm of the Long-Eared Ancient Ape, the ape said:

"I know the distinctive traits of the new leader of the Fox Clan!"

"Congratulations, you’ve saved your own arm."

Tang Xian waved to stop Tang Feiji.

Cold sweat oozed out from the furry face of the ancient ape, not daring to delay, it said:

"Although it evolved from a six-tailed fox, its strength is definitely above that of a common nine-tailed one. Our ancient ape elders are not conducting purely evolutionary research."

Tang Xian frowned, evolutionary research?

Because he had not heard this part when he was in the castle, it seemed somewhat abrupt.

But Tang Xian quickly deduced some of their conversations before they tried Qing JiuYu.

"Continue. There’s now a twenty-five percent chance I won’t kill you."

"The more diverse the gene combinations, the stronger and more perfect the new genes that may emerge. Although the lineage might diminish, the direction of evolution could become more complex. The elders were conducting such research."

Tang Xian nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Humans discourage inbreeding because the closer the genetic sequences are, the lower the probability of having excellent offspring.

It’s similar with dogs.

Many Huaxia terriers, though not of pure breed, were part of research by dog breeding institutions in Dongying over a thousand years ago. Many mixed and indeterminate breed dogs, in their olfactory performance and intelligence, could even compete with Border Collies.

Tang Xian had seen many such research studies because dog meat is delicious.

"Does that new nine-tailed vixen possess abilities from other creatures as well?"

"Yes... Since the fox species is fire-elemental, the elders thought if they could master multiple elements like the sacred beast species, they might be able to create powerful puppets. Therefore, that fox was also implanted with Nvwa Snake genes. One of its tails is white."
