I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

Chapter 192: Using Wild Rabbits as Experimental Subjects

Su Bai grabbed the wild rabbit again, steeled his heart and used the bone knife to directly cut off the wild rabbit’s leg.

The moment it was cut, the wound on the wild rabbit immediately started bleeding, instantly staining the table red.

“…” Yu Ying’s pink eyes widened, frightened by this scene, not knowing why this was happening.

At first, he just made a small cut and healed it with the Curing Technique, but now he directly cut off the wild rabbit’s leg?

Su Bai frowned, the smell of blood was pungent. He reached out his hand to continue using the Curing Technique.

An emerald light immediately began to emanate from his hand, different from the pale green light at the beginning. This time, the light of the Curing Technique appeared more verdant, turning into a deep green light.

The deep green light slowly began to envelop the wild rabbit. Its severed leg started to slowly reconnect with the wound.

A few minutes later, the wild rabbit’s severed leg had completely reconnected with the wound. After kicking its legs a few times, the wild rabbit returned to normal.

“Shaman, the wild rabbit has returned to normal?” Yu Ying had been watching Su Bai’s every move. She had felt very sorry for the rabbit with the severed leg, but now, upon seeing the wild rabbit restored to its original state, she could not help feeling a bit happy.

“En.” Su Bai watched the wild rabbit hopping on the table, then picked up the bone knife again and said, “I would sadly need to experiment a few more times.”

He felt that since he had started experimenting, he wanted to get everything over with. After being wounded, he could fully heal the rabbit back to full health. After cutting off its leg, it could also be restored. But, the previous test was when the leg was cut off, and was still nearby. If the severed leg was not nearby, could a new leg grow out of it?

[If the wild rabbit could grow a new leg, that would be great.]

“Shaman, are you going to…?” Yu Ying was a bit afraid to look. Her hands were constantly in front of her pink eyes.

“You’d better not watch this part.” Su Bai signed and looked up. The scene of cutting open the wild rabbit’s leg was indeed bloody. Furthermore, the fox eared girl was not a Warrior Trainee, let alone a Totem Warrior. She had always stayed in the Tribe doing some handicrafts. She was naturally not used to seeing such a gorey scene.

“Yes.” Yu Ying immediately lowered her head and continued sewing her linen.

Su Bai cut open the wild rabbit’s leg again, then placed the rabbit leg far away, and continued to extend the Curing Technique.

The deep green light appeared again. Slowly, the wild rabbit’s wound also stopped bleeding, but no new leg grew. Only the wound had healed.

[Looks like I would need to Level this Skill up again before I can help him…] Su Bai withdrew his hand and reflected. Still, he had at least learnt one thing about this Skill. As long as a person’s missing limb could be brought back, the Curing Technique could reattach their limb. If even the limb was irrecoverable, using the Curing Technique would only result in the stopping of bleeding from the wound. Currently, growing new limbs was impossible.

Su Bai silently took the small severed leg piece from afar, brought it close to the wild rabbit’s wound, and continued to extend the Curing Technique. After the deep green light slowly faded, the severed leg reconnected with the wild rabbit.

[Seems like the leg can still be reattached and healed if done within a certain time span. What’s the time limit for this?] Su Bai questioned. He pondered for a moment, took out a Wolf Tail Grass Notebook and a quill pen, and began to plan further experiments.

The main goal was to find out how long after the leg was separated from the wild rabbit could it no longer be reattached. If he could know the time limit, it would be of great help in making decisions in the future when opening up a hospital.

Su Bai repeatedly cut, healed, cut again, and healed, continuing this cycle.

He could not help but curse himself, wondering if he was a Demon. He had been repeatedly torturing the same wild rabbit. Even so, this had to be done. At the very least, he would occasionally switch to a different foot, as he felt bad always cutting off the same leg.

After more than an hour, Su Bai’s forehead was covered in sweat, because he had used too much Shaman Power and had performed the Curing Technique many times. He inevitably felt a little tired.

Su Bai looked at the dense writing in the Wolf Tail Grass Notebook and the pocket watch in his hand. He closed the watch and wrote the last word.

He nodded with satisfaction and muttered to himself, “Seems like after more than half an hour, even with the leg, it can’t be restored to its original state.”

At this moment, the rabbit on the wooden table had given up resisting and was lying flat on the table. At first, it would struggle a bit, but with the constant cutting and restoring, it had started to question its own life.

“Shaman, you’re sweating a lot, is it too hot?” Yu Ying refilled the wooden cup with water.

Su Bai took the cup, drank some water, and softly said, “It’s nothing. I just used the Curing Technique too many times.”

“Shaman, you should rest. Do you want to take a bath? I’ll heat up some water for you.” Yu Ying suggested.

“It’s fine, I haven’t finished experimenting yet. You go take a bath first.” Su Bai smiled.

The wild rabbit seemed to understand Su Bai’s words and immediately started struggling, preparing to escape from this terrifying place.

Su Bai directly pressed the wild rabbit’s head with one hand. [Want to run? It won’t be that easy.]

“Alright, then I’ll heat some bath water for you after I finish my bath.” Yu Ying said gently.

“En, go ahead.” Su Bai smiled.

He watched the fox eared girl take her linen clothes and leave. He soon lowered his head and began to deal with the wild rabbit.

“Haa… I want to settle this with as little sacrifices as possible. So, don’t think about leaving.” Su Bai picked up the bone knife. He had just thought of something else he needed to experiment with. He needed to see if the head and body were separated, causing immediate death, could the Curing Technique bring it back to life?

The reason he let the fox eared girl go take a bath was because he definitely did not want her to see this bloody scene.

Su Bai did as he thought, with a swift move of the knife, the wild rabbit’s head was separated from its body, and the wild rabbit lay motionless on the wooden table.

He immediately reached out his hand to use the Curing Technique. The deep green light enveloping the entire wild rabbit.

The wounds on the wild rabbit’s body and head were healing separately, but they did not reconnect. This meant that for immediate deaths, the Curing Technique would not be able bring the dead back to life.

[Like I thought. It was too much to hope for. Thank you for your sacrifice, little one.] Su Bai withdrew his hand and had someone come in to clean up the table.

He flipped through the Wolf Tail Grass Notebook in his hand, carefully looking at the experiments recorded earlier.

At first, he separated the wild rabbit’s leg from its body for ten minutes, then used the Curing Technique again, finding that it could still heal.

He later separated the leg and body for twenty minutes, and the result was the same, it could still be healed. It was until the experiment reached half an hour, when he found that it was no longer possible.

[Most likely, the leg was separated from the body for too long, and the tissue cells had died. In this case, even the Curing Technique is powerless to reverse it.]

About ten minutes later, Yu Ying finished her bath and walked into the Teepee, asking, puzzled, “Shaman, where’s the rabbit?”

“Uh… it’s been sent back. Have someone bring in another one. I still need to conduct more experiments.” Su Bai told a white lie.

“Oh. Okay,” Yu Ying innocently believed him, though she was still puzzled, [Weren’t you done experimenting?]

Now, Su Bai needed to see if the wild rabbit was poisoned, how long it would take before it could not be saved using the Curing Technique.
