Li Xun and others and a group of experts came to the right side of the giant crocodile's body. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Before several academicians and professors could speak, Li Xun had already glanced at the right hind leg of the giant crocodile.

At this glance, his face instantly became solemn.

He clearly remembered that last night he started from two directions and almost cut off about half of the giant crocodile's right hind leg, and the wound was deep and bone-seeing.

Now, the crocodile's right hind leg is still bloodstained, and the blood has congealed.

But its wounds were almost completely healed!

It's not that it's a very perfect healing, its wound joints, some of which are pitted, as if they are using shoddy techniques, and then strengthening glue, forcibly glue the wounds on both sides together, and the skin and flesh are not completely matched.

But this looks even more thrilling.

His face became solemn, and Li Xun was not alone.

The crocodile's abdomen was slightly raised, and there was a distinctly crooked traumatic scar on the abdomen.

The scar looked like a large, blood-colored centipede attached to the abdomen of a giant crocodile.

The scar was also stained with blood, and there was a large pool of blood on the ground underneath, which was very shocking.

Seeing this scar clearly, Song Junxing's face also changed.

Li Xun and Song Junxing couldn't be more aware of the heavy damage inflicted on the giant crocodile last night, so they were even more surprised.

Academician Chen introduced with a serious expression: "When we arrived in the early morning, the scar on its right leg was scarring, and the wound on its abdomen was slowly healing. ”

Professor Ma on the side added a sentence: "What's even more incredible is that the giant crocodile has been dead for a long time, and its body length is still growing, and the body length we measured in the morning was 24.55 meters, but just half an hour ago, we had doubts and measured its body length again, who knew that in just seven hours, its body length increased by 27 centimeters." ”

It's okay that Professor Ma didn't say this, but after he finished speaking, everyone on Li Xun's side changed color again.

Wang Ruyi shouted in a lost voice: "It's impossible, it can still grow even if it dies?"

Xiaobao was surprised, but shook his head and said: "No, these experts use very advanced optical measuring instruments to measure body length, and they can be accurate to the centimeter, do you think it will be wrong?"

Wang Ruyi still had a hard time believing it, and he shouted: "But this is too incredible." ”

Li Xun and Xue Qizhen glanced at each other, and they both found the horror in each other's eyes.

This giant crocodile is really weird all over his body.

This enigmatic creature!

Li Xun thought for a while and asked, "You have been here for a long time, it must be impossible to just measure the body length, do you have any other findings?"

"Absolutely!"

Professor Ma nodded, and said: "We have conducted a preliminary analysis of the blood and body fluids of the giant crocodile, and found that it contains a very strange substance, which is a substance that we have never found, it has a very powerful activity, and we suspect that this may be related to the rapid healing of wounds by the giant crocodile, and even the ability to increase body length after death." ”

Academician Chen added: "In fact, we have analyzed and concluded that the rapid growth of the giant crocodile and the ability to heal wounds quickly are the same ability, and this ability is based on the rapid metabolism of its body.

For example, it takes fifteen or six years for a child to grow up, but in the body of a giant crocodile, its metabolism in one day may be equivalent to half a year and a year of human beings, and the substance we found should play a key catalytic role in it. ”

Li Xun nodded.

The analysis of the two academicians is extremely reasonable.

Before, they had expressed doubts about the giant crocodile's huge appetite.

Although its body is large, it is too exaggerated to devour twenty or thirty people a day.

If it is really because the metabolism has accelerated, then everything can be reasonably explained.

Because the metabolism is fast, it digests quickly, so it needs to eat a lot of food, and then the body grows rapidly.

This is a reasonable metabolic cycle process.

Li Xun thought for a while and asked: "But even so, there is still a key question that is difficult to explain, the ordinary alligator, but a very small crocodile, its normal length is only less than two meters, so how did it break through the shackles of the body and grow to such a huge size?"

And, if we hadn't killed it, it would have grown even bigger, and it shouldn't just have something to do with an accelerated metabolism, right?"

Academician Chen nodded: "This is also a question that we can't figure out, in addition, the mysterious substance we just talked about has a very strange property, its activity is indeed very strong, but its decay rate is also very fast."

After we collect this substance from the blood of a giant crocodile, it decays in as little as twenty minutes, and then disappears, never to be detected again, but if we collect it from its body again, new substances will be produced in its body. ”

Song Junxing's eyes lit up on the side, and he said in surprise: "Listening to you say this, that is, the giant crocodile's body has a source that continuously produces this substance? And this source, even if the giant crocodile dies, it still exists! Could it exist independently of the giant crocodile's body? Otherwise, it is difficult to explain." ”

Surprise flashed in the eyes of Academician Chen and Professor Ma.

Professor Ma couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Song is really worthy of being a top student majoring in life sciences at Harvard, it is really in a word, we have always associated this mysterious substance with the giant crocodile itself, so we have not been able to understand the source of this substance, listening to you say this, we are clear, it turns out that it is possible to exist independently." ”

Academician Chen's face became solemn: "Without further ado, we must immediately find out the source of this substance, which may be the fundamental reason why you said that someone wants to hide the secret of this giant crocodile." ”

Another professor on the side asked, "Shall we arrange an autopsy right away?"

"Okay, let's start dissecting now. Academician Chen nodded.

Academician Chen turned around and asked Li Xun again: "Mr. Li, let's miss the company, we have to arrange the autopsy work." ”

Li Xun nodded, "Okay, you guys go get busy." ”

Regarding the dissection of animals, there are professional experts, and Li Xun does not participate in it, he only wants to know one result.

Li Xun looked at everyone again.

Song Junxing thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait for the result, I'm very curious about this." ”

"Okay, let's wait here, I also want to know what is it that makes this alligator so evil and terrifying. ”

When Li Xun said this, of course everyone had no objections.

So Li Xun picked a nearby shed, and sat under the shed, looking at the corpse of the giant crocodile not far away.

Song Junxing was silent and sat down next to Li Xun.

Xue Erliu asked with a sad face: "Are you just here to watch them dissect?"

"Of course it's here, where else are you going?" Wang Ruyi's face was full of excitement, looking at this guy's appearance, it seemed that he really wanted to intervene sideways and participate in the dissection.

"Forget it, I'd better go and wait outside, I'm bleeding. Xue Erliu turned around and slipped away.

Just imagining it, he knew how bloody and cruel this process was, and Xue Erliu didn't have the courage to look at it.

Li Xun smiled and shook his head, but didn't pay attention to him.

Then, the dissection began. (To be continued.) )
