Chapter 764: Ganglia
The body of the broken sword, two palms long, pierced through the back of the lizard's head, buried deep in it, and even the gauntlet was almost embedded in its skin.
Although Luo Ming did not specialize in reptiology, he speculated that this sword was definitely deadly according to the common sense of biology.
It ran through the back of the lizard's head, and even the tip had punctured a small hole in its throat, sandwiched between the spinal cord and brainstem, and perhaps part of the brain.
If this part is destroyed, even if the damage to the brain itself is not considered, it is equivalent to cutting off the way for the brain to control the whole body, and the lightest is high paraplegia, and the worst is death on the spot.
The lizard's body twitched, but it was no longer as vigorous as before, and its most threatening mouth was completely immobilized.
It does look like it's dying.
Luo Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but just in case, he pulled the broken sword outward with his foot, and then continued to stab in a different direction.
This time, he had plenty of time to worry about anything, and carefully adjusted the movement of the sword according to the feeling of his hand—and finally stabbed directly into its brain, stirring it a few times, and when he pulled it out again, it was already covered with brains.
"It's like going back to school......
Luo Ming had already scheduled to go to the company of the two masters for a temporary job, so he did not spend too much time on the college entrance examination, but was admitted to a university where the two masters were the trustees as a special student.
The goal of going to college is just to get a diploma.
However, he did not really go to class at all by virtue of his special status, in fact he was not interested in some courses at all, but he was quite interested in others, and spent a lot of time learning about them.
For example, the anatomy class is actually very helpful for martial arts practitioners, as it can help them master the skills of how to fight the enemy's vital points, and it can also help them understand how to better protect their health.
At this moment, Luo Ming's feelings are similar to the dissection of a toad in an anatomy class.
Before dissecting a toad, it is basically necessary to make the following preparations: hold the toad firmly with one hand, and then pick up a copper needle with the other hand, pierce it through the back of the frog's head, stir, and destroy its brain.
After this, the toad's bodily functions are still preserved to a certain extent, and it can live for a while longer, but it will no longer run away and chirp again.
Whenever this happens, Luo Ming doesn't care about the illusion of life and the passage of time, but thinks about how this trick should be applied to martial arts.
This kind of overly ruthless killing trick generally has no chance to be used in reality, even if the background is like a mountain, killing people in modern society is not something that can be concealed casually, not to mention that no one can provoke Luo Ming to the extent that he can see blood, so it has always been just a fantasy - and now is the most appropriate opportunity.
After Luo Ming destroyed the dragon's brain with the broken sword, he felt its body soften all of a sudden, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Long runs, tensions, and the fight between life and death...... These factors combined to make his heart pound.
Now that I breathe a sigh of relief, I feel a dull pain in my lungs, a fishy breath in my throat, a slight pain in my head from the pulse of the swelling blood, and a slight blackness in front of my eyes.
If you are an ordinary person, you may faint in this situation, and even have the risk of sudden death.
Even Luo Ming can only try to restrain his mind now, trying to control the rhythm of his breathing, adjusting the state of his body little by little, and trying to return to a stable state.
"Whew...... What to do next......"
Luo Ming looked up at the sky, although his eyes were a little blurry because he hadn't eased up yet, but it was enough for him to tell that the sky was approaching dusk.
I'm afraid I've come to another world, or at least some inaccessible secret place on the earth, and there are subtle differences between the grass and trees around me and my impression.
Well, I'm afraid creatures are no exception.
Since there will be a monster like this monitor lizard in this forest, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a second one, or even a group.
In addition to monitor lizards, there may be other dangerous animals, and in the worst cases, there may even be stronger monsters that can prey on this monitor lizard.
I was chased by a monitor lizard for such a long distance, and the monitor lizard itself shed a lot of blood, and the smell may spread out, attracting other dangerous predators......
In the forest, even mosquitoes must be guarded against...... The devil knows what kind of toxicity they have, or what kind of disease they can transmit.
Luo Ming's knowledge of survival in the wild is not unavailable, but he is still a little at a loss to deal with this completely unfamiliar environment, and he does not carry any props with him.
"This big guy...... Can you eat it?"
The hungry worm in his stomach screamed more and more, Luo Ming looked at the corpse of the demon lizard in front of him, and began to think about how to deal with it, clean, test the poison, concoct it and finally eat it......
At this moment of distraction, a gust of wind hit behind him.
Even if Luo Ming has been practicing martial arts for many years, dodging the sudden attack from behind is a difficult move that can only be done when you are concentrating.
At this moment, although Luo Ming was aware of this sudden attack, before he could make a dodge movement, a piercing pain had already invaded his abdomen.
"Ugh!"
He gritted his teeth, swung his broken sword, and slashed the attack on him in two, and looked at it in pain—
The dragon's tail twitched and swayed, and a cut appeared at the very end, gushing out of blood.
A bone spur at the tip of the tail pierced Luo Ming's back, and the tip almost pierced the front of his body.
At this time, it dawned on him.
Before, I made a fatal mistake:
Although the central nervous system of reptiles is mainly concentrated in the brain, in addition to the brain, there are still many ganglia that have a certain ability to regulate the body, which may be scattered in other parts of the body.
Destroying brains can certainly kill them, but it doesn't have to be instantaneous.
It's like after cutting off a snake's head, its body can squirm for tens of minutes or even hours.
According to research, the ancient dinosaurs of the earth may have hidden a complex ganglion called a "second brain" in the spine, which is responsible for regulating the movement of the back half of the body.
This monitor lizard, I am afraid, has a similar body structure, and has other ganglia that have not yet been destroyed by Lormine that are responsible for the movement of its tail.
I don't know if it was a convulsion by mistake, or if it was a revenge that was indeed carried out with hatred on the target, in short, Luo Ming had been severely traumatized.
