Chapter 254: Three Small Holes (Fourth Update!) )
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Qin Hu's eyes lit up and said, "Although we were the first to discover the red glow jade vein, but the time is pressing, we haven't completed the exploration, and we haven't erected a mark—even if the mark is erected, all the traces that remain in the ground now are afraid that they will be swallowed up by the spiritual energy frenzy and wiped out."
"This matter involves the struggle between the two major groups of Qingtian and Huanyu, and maybe there are other mining companies that want to fish in troubled waters, and if we still have infighting, it will be difficult to guarantee the right of first refusal, and it will definitely fall into our hands.
"Also, the corpse of the white ghost is also quite valuable for research, a monster that can evolve on its own and can communicate with the human mind, this is a rare commodity, and it will definitely make a lot of money by selling it to monster research institutes, universities, or super companies with deep pockets.
"These two items are our greatest interests, other secrets, don't listen to them - dozens of years old, 'the more you know, the faster you die', the tiger still understands."
Meng Chao agrees with this.
An in-depth study of the corpse of the White Ghost will help unravel the mystery of the "Demon God".
This is the most important thing.
Thinking of this, his face changed again, and he exclaimed, "Not good, the corpse of the white ghost!" ”
When the three of them fled, they crawled through the winding rock crevices, naturally ignoring the bumps and bumps of the white ghost's corpse.
After escaping to the Blue Plains Mother Stone Mine, the three of them only cared about supporting the resonance and impact of the two spiritual energies, and they had no time to care about the integrity of the white ghost's corpse.
Monster corpses are inherently perishable.
Under the impact of the psionic frenzy, I really don't know what it will become, and if it is worth researching.
Meng Chao hurriedly rushed towards the items that the three of them had piled up in the corner.
It was found that although the corpse of the White Ghost was not yet highly decomposed, it had been torn apart and gradually began to soften, emitting a faint stench.
It struggled to sustain another six to twelve hours of arduous trek and was returned to the surface intact.
By Meng Chao's side, there was no stabilizing liquid and condensation spray that could delay its decay.
"I can't help it, I have to dissect it, all the organs are classified, and as many as I can salvage." Meng Chao asked Lu Siya for advice.
Lu Siya is the convener and funder of the prospecting team.
He was a prospector hired by Lysya.
According to the rules of the circle, since Lu Siya has paid a high honorarium, the decision on everything that the task harvests is in Lu Siya's hands.
Moreover, not counting the fact that it was turned into an undead creature by the Blood Pattern Flower this time, when it was still a real white ghost, it was also killed by Lu Siya with the ground stabbing technique.
Whoever kills, the prey belongs to whomever he wants.
If it is a joint kill, whoever has a higher realm, more strength, and completes the final blow will naturally get a larger share.
This is a rule that has prevailed in the circle for decades, and it is very fair.
Although Meng Chao didn't like Lu Siya's ambition and domineering, he didn't want to break the rules.
Besides, he can't beat Lu Siya, for the time being.
"Okay, I believe in your craft." Lu Siya said briskly.
Putting aside the point of "unscrupulous means to achieve the goal", she is really not a woman who is too difficult to get along with.
After the underground shocking changes and Lin Chuan's heroic sacrifice, she looked at Meng Chao, the little junior brother who often talked with Lin Chuan at night and learned martial arts, and there was something more in her eyes.
Meng Chao asked Qin Hu to borrow two Flying Star Blades.
This flying knife, which is as thin as a cicada's wings, is made of both rigidity and softness, comparable to the highest grade lancet, gently cutting into the remains of the monster, making Meng Chao feel the pleasure of splashing ink.
The corpse of the white ghost, in fact, there is not much left.
The upper half of its body was blown to pieces by the self-detonator, and its internal organs leaked out of the hole pierced through the ground thorns, except for the blood-streaked flower fungus cluster, only half of the cavity and a pair of hind legs remained, and three hairless, bare tails.
Meng Chao silently meditated in his mind on the structural diagrams of dozens of canine monsters.
Especially the structure of the Phantom Wolf Clan.
Harvested its legs and tail like a drop of mercury, and began to dispose of the remaining half of the vertebrae.
The swelling of the nerves that the white ghost uses to control the mind grows at the end of the spine, and this is the main event.
It's a pity that the Flying Star Blade has just cut into it when he hears a "wave" and a slightly fishy smell comes from it.
No matter how gentle and precise Meng Chao's movements were, the nerve at the end of the White Ghost's tail vertebrae swelled and turned into a thick mass of pus.
"Damn it!"
Meng Chao couldn't help but curse, "Time has dragged on for too long, and its 'second brain' has been corrupted." ”
"Ahh
Qin Hu was disappointed, "That's not, you can't sell it for a few dollars?" ”
"It can't be helped, after all, we've been here for a day and a night."
Lu Siya said, "The brain was originally the most perishable monster organ, and it was already a blessing to be able to preserve it like this. ”
Meng Chao shook his head.
Lu Siya and Qin Hu would never know the value of this future demon god.
At this point, he can't bring the dead back to life, so he can only continue to work, rip off all the rotten flesh, and peel off the parts that can still be taken out.
Suddenly, Meng Chao froze like a stone statue.
His pupils contracted, his fingers trembled, and the Flying Star Blade cut out a drop of crimson blood on his fingertips.
"Meng Chao?"
Lu Siya and Qin Hu were slightly stunned.
They all knew Meng Chao's methods, although he was a fledgling, his harvesting skills were by no means inferior to his combat skills.
If you were not greatly shocked, you would never make such a low-level mistake.
The two looked intently and found that Meng Chao was peeling off the broken vertebrae of the white ghost.
After Meng Chao's treatment, near the tail, on the three vertebrae, a small dot with a slightly different color and surroundings appeared.
"What is this?"
Qin Hu asked curiously, "Is there a pattern on the bones?" ”
“…… It's the hole. ”
Meng Chao closed his eyes and rubbed his fingertips repeatedly for a long time before muttering, "It's three small holes, which should have been drilled out when the white ghost was very young, and some kind of slender, needle-like thing was implanted, and it took a long time to pull it out, so although the bones have grown, they are still slightly different from the surroundings." ”
It took Lu Siya and Qin Hu half a minute to digest and absorb what Meng Chao said.
"Why are there three small holes in the white ghost's spine?"
Qin Hu said in disbelief, "Born? ”
"As far as I know, it is unlikely that the vertebrae of the Phantom Wolf Clan, or the vertebrae of all vertebrates, will grow natural holes, and no monster can accurately make such hair-thin holes in the spine without harming lives or even causing disabilities."
Meng Chao said, "This requires very clever technology and very advanced tools. ”
Qin Hu pondered for a long time: "You mean, someone made these holes, why?" ”
"In the animal control department and biochemical department of our agricultural university, if you want to concoct some special biochemical beasts, it is possible to implant equipment in their spinal nerves, or inject drugs."
Meng Chao said, "If you want to inject medicine into the spine of a biochemical beast for a long time to stimulate its spinal cord nerves to accelerate growth, it is impossible to insert a needle into the spine once a day, then drill holes in the vertebrae, use special equipment for dripping, and when the preparation is completed, remove the instrument, and then inject bone cell auxin to let the wound heal - this is a very common practice." ”
"What!"
Qin Hu was shocked, "This is how the white ghost was concocted by Lin Chuan?" ”
"It's unlikely, although Brother Lin is also from Agricultural University, he is from the martial arts department, so he shouldn't be able to get in touch with such technology and equipment, besides, when he met Bai Ghost, he would have graduated a long time ago, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to bring Bai Ghost back to Agricultural University."
Meng Chao muttered, "The technical reserves of the Agricultural University are not strong enough to make monsters awaken their wisdom, besides, Brother Lin has said everything, and there is no need to hide this matter alone."
"I think that even if the White Ghost really accepted the concoction, it was before it met Brother Lin, and it didn't even communicate through the mind and tell Brother Lin about it, otherwise Brother Lin would definitely say it.
"Combined with my analysis of the vertebrae, this concoction happened when it was very young, maybe it didn't know or remember."
Qin Hu scratched his head: "Who did that?" ”
"Attention, I didn't say it had to be done by 'people.'"
Meng Chao said, "I only say that judging from the monster information we have so far, even the Doomsday Beast does not have the ability to perform such a precise operation. ”
"Isn't it the same?"
Qin Hu frowned and said, "In addition to us earthlings in the other world, they are monsters, oh, it is said that there are some humanoid creatures outside the monster mountain range, which are estimated to be variants of ape-like monsters, not 'humans', who else could do it?" ”
"I don't know."
Meng Chao shook his head slowly, "The only thing I can be sure of is that there are three small holes at the end of the white ghost's spine, maybe its intelligence is not naturally generated, nor can it be produced by devouring the brains of some other monsters—in this way, it is more reasonable." ”
"Forget it, it doesn't matter."
Qin Hu slammed his fist hard and said excitedly, "The important thing is that now, it can be sold for a lot of money, right?" ”
Meng Chao: "......"
Lu Siya: "It's possible to sell for a lot of money, but it's also possible to get us into a bigger maelstrom, and it seems that the three of us are firmly tied together, whether we like each other or not." ”
Meng Chao was silent.
Knowing that the white ghost was the future demon god, he naturally knew better than Lu Siya and Qin Hu how mysterious and dangerous the whirlpool they were involved in was.
Nine Demon Gods, how did such an unscientific and extremely strong existence come about?
"Fortunately, the three of us survived, it seems that Meng Chao is right, the three of us together do have excellent luck."
Lu Siya looked at Meng Chao with blazing eyes, "Let's go, since such a dangerous situation of nine deaths and lives has not been able to trap us, I believe that no matter what kind of whirlpool and storm, it will not stop us from advancing, now, it's time to return to the ground and face a new future!" ”
