Chapter 351: "Commander"

In the blink of an eye, thousands of flame rats were wiped out.

Only a very small number of fish escaped the net, which were not pierced by bullets, and the special oil with a very low ignition point in the body did not come into contact with the air, so they did not burn, and they were still fleeing in a daze.

Meng Chao threw out the chains, wrapped the two flame rats, and dragged them in front of him, without even pulling off half of the hair.

First, tie a flame rat firmly with a chain.

Then he took out a full set of harvesting tools, aimed at the other flame rat, and sprayed a condensate of tens of degrees below zero.

When the flame rat was frozen and couldn't move, and a thin layer of frost had condensed on the outside of its eyeballs, he didn't hurry, cut down the back of his neck, peeled off his scalp, and completely removed its skull.

Meng Chao's vision has not yet been cultivated to the extent that it can replace the microscope.

He set up a pair of psychic microscopes for dissection in both eyes, and studied the Flame Rat's brain intently.

After admiring it for a while, he used a long needle thinner than a hair to peel off the central nervous system of the flame rat.

Only then did a scalpel blade as thin as a cicada's wings break down the brain into slices of less than a millimeter.

After thoroughly studying the rat brain, he began to dissect the internal organs and analyze the combustible substances in the body of the flame rat.

Ten minutes later, Meng Chao had an answer.

"These beasts must have been lurking here for some days - their bellies are all stuffed with fermented junk fuel, proving that they have been hiding in the fuel depot of the power plant for a long time, gobbling up their stomachs.

"However, I think they are just small soldiers charging into battle, and there must be a 'commander' hiding behind them."

Lu Siya asked, "Why?" ”

"First, don't you think it's too easy to kill these flame rats?"

Meng Chao said, "The scale and duration of this mist is rare in the past six months, if I am a strange beast with superior wisdom, I will definitely not let go of the heaven-sent opportunity, how can I only send a few rats to make trouble?"

"Second, their stomachs are obviously unable to completely digest the junk fuel, and even if they are not shot and burned to death, it will not be long before they will die of swelling, which shows that they are not instinctively driven to eat junk fuel for the sake of their stomachs, but by some kind of ...... A higher level of wisdom is in control.

"Thirdly, their brains are too small and too simple, and it's hard to imagine that these flame rats can generate true intelligence and perform such a complex task as 'coordinated operations' with the monsters that have broken into Dragon City.

"Sister Ya, come here, do you see a small hole in the forehead of this flame rat?"

Lu Siya observed carefully, nodded and said, "See, there is still a ball of ...... inside"

"The scientific name for this thing is 'cranial parietal eye'."

Meng Chao said, "In ancient times, many vertebrates had more than one pair of eyes, in addition to the normal eyes, there was also a pair of eyeballs that often grew on the top of the head, but it is difficult to argue what the specific function is."

"Some biologists believe that the 'cranial parietal eye' is used to sense light and regulate the sleep time of organisms; some people believe that the 'cranial parietal eye' can help organisms sense changes in the planet's magnetic field and achieve a very precise positioning function, just like a magnet in the head of a pigeon; and some experts believe that the human 'pineal gland' evolved from the 'cranial parietal eye'.

"Like most mammalian monsters, the 'cranial eyes' of rat monsters have long been closed over the course of evolution.

"But through simple genetic modulation, it is not difficult to make the rat monster show some 'atavism' traits and regrow the 'cranial parietal eye'.

"As for its function...... If I'm not mistaken, it should be used to sense the changes in the spiritual magnetic ripples and receive information. ”

Lu Siya frowned: "Receiving information? ”

"You can think of it as a biometric receiving chip."

Meng Chao said, "The 'commander' hiding in the shadows, through a certain way, amplifies its brain waves, setting off subtle changes in spiritual energy ripples, this change is perceived by the flame rat through the skull parietal eye, which is equivalent to the 'commander' giving instructions to the 'soldier', and the flame rat will launch a suicide attack."

"Perhaps, the purpose of this round of attacks is only to confuse us into believing that the invaders have been wiped out."

Lu Siya stared at Meng Chao deeply.

I saw Meng Chao's incredible performance in so many training sessions.

And his private analysis and evaluation of some training subjects is unheard of by Lu Siya.

Now Lu Siya believes in Meng Chao's judgment very much.

She immediately said, "Is there a way to find the 'commander'?" ”

"I can try to find the approximate range of the 'commander', and the specific coordinates depend on your extremely keen psionic perception."

Meng Chao said, poking a few long needles thinner than a human hair and soft into the ear canal of the other flame rat.

His eyes were slightly closed, his expression was focused, and there was a drop of cold sweat deep on his forehead, as if he was undergoing an ultra-difficult microsurgery.

The flame rat was only chained, not frozen, and it was supposed to be able to sense the pain.

But Meng Chao inserted four long needles into its ear canal in a row, and the thin needles longer than a finger completely submerged into its brain, but it did not scream for a while, and its eyes were still dripping, as if it did not feel the slightest discomfort.

Lu Siya said: "What are you doing?" ”

"I'm severing the neural connection between the 'cranial parietal eye' and the brain."

Meng Chao said, "In this way, the cranial parietal eye may become a simple ...... A magnet-like organ, like a magnet in a pigeon's head. ”

Lu Siya said: "And then? ”

"Then, it could take us to the 'Commander.'"

Meng Chao said, "You should know that even if the pigeons are hundreds of miles apart, they can accurately find their nests, and it is based on this characteristic that humans have bred 'carrier pigeons', right?"

"I guess the 'Commander''s brain waves can't be too strong, and in order to avoid interference, the two sides must have stayed together when it gives instructions to these flame rats, and it is very likely that this is the dormant location of the 'Commander', which is their lair.

"As long as I cut the neural connection between the 'cranial parietal eye' and the brain, the flame rat is no longer under the control of any external commands, and the fear and survival instinct will once again prevail, then, it is highly likely that it will sense the magnetic field and flee back to the place where it feels safest - the lair where the 'Commander' is."

Meng Chao said, shaking off the chains.

The flame rat with a long needle in its head ran out with a puff of smoke.

"Chase!"

Meng Chao, who broke through the three-star spirit gathering realm, naturally couldn't be run away by a small mouse.

Lu Siya was even more floating in mid-air, and she could see it clearly.

Along the way, Meng Chao prevented the factory guards and the members of the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau from firing.

Until the Flame Rat fled to the vicinity of the cooling tower, and suddenly its figure flashed and disappeared.

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes, the tip of his nose twitched, and quickly found a very hidden crack in the ground under the cooling tower.

"It seems that we need to find the structural diagram of the underground facilities of the whole plant to know where this rat is hiding." Meng Chao said.

"Don't bother." Lu Siya smiled slightly.

The five fingers opened and squeezed fiercely, and a powerful and incomparable spiritual magnetic force field was released around his body, blasting into the ground like a ground-drilling bomb, as if creating a small earthquake, causing a large number of rocks to be squeezed together.

For the first half minute, nothing happened, only smoke and dust gushing out of the criss-crossed cracks.

Soon, a dark shadow leaped out of the thickest crack in the ground and snaking towards the cooling tower.

If you look closely, it is a shiny python.

Its scales are translucent purple, giving people a crystal clear feeling, as if even the internal organs are faintly visible.

The scales rubbed together, rubbing out a puff of sparks, and there were even arcs of electricity around the body, making it look like a dragon soaring through the clouds.

It has a huge sarcoma on its forehead, which drums and sucks like a war drum chasing souls, beating the human brain and heart fiercely.

"A nest of snakes and rats, this thing is the 'Commander'!"

Meng Chao rushed forward with a chain blade.

After breaking through the three-star spirit gathering realm, his speed increased by another step, and he stomped on the ground with both feet, and he could kick out the effect of cannonball bombardment, borrowing a piece of smoke and dust to cover his figure, he had already jumped high and reached the top of the lightning monster python's head

"Zizizizi!"

The scales of the lightning python instantly became completely transparent.

A cloud of plasma formed in the throat at a speed visible to the naked eye, gushing out like a volcanic eruption, just spraying Meng Chao in mid-air.

However, what was torn apart by the arc was only Meng Chao's phantom.

It's not a simple afterimage or optical camouflage.

It is the memory of Meng Chao's awakened previous life, from the ghost brigade training camp, the extremely clever "light splitting illusion technique".

In addition to dragging out the afterimage at super high speeds.

It is also necessary to infuse the life magnetic field into the afterimage in order to be lifelike and fool monsters or enemies.

The real Meng Chao is still dormant in the smoke and dust kicked up by the pedaling.

At the moment when the lightning monster python spit out the plasma, the two chain blades shot out at the same time, forming a spiral killing array, winding towards the opponent's seven inches.

The lightning python bounced like it had fallen into a hot pan of oil.

Meng Chao's chain blade also seemed to violate the laws of physics, and at an incredible angle, it turned in another direction, chasing after the seven inches of the lightning monster python.

The lightning monster python emits a mouse-like, "squeaky" scream.

The sarcoma on the head was covered with bloodshot and swelled to the limit, unleashing a sharp mental attack.

Meng Chao's eyes narrowed, as if he had a splitting headache, and the chain blade lost control and drooped down like a sun-dried earthworm.

The lightning monster python's eyes showed a light of "overjoyed", turned defense into offense, opened its bloody mouth, and bit Meng Chao's neck.

In the depths of Meng Chao's eyes, there was no trace of mental confusion, only ice-like calmness, and the ice cracked and leaked out, and the unstoppable killing intent.
