727. Monster Studies

For the study of Blazing Claw, it can be seen that these scholars have been holding back for a long time.

After the brute-jawed dragon was dragged out of a coma and placed in the clearing.

These scholars were familiar with their books, and with a few strokes, they drew a complete sketch of the monster.

Then, a brief description of the physical characteristics and ecological habits is made.

Because the habits of the blazing claws did not see the difference between those of ordinary brute jaws, this step was completed quickly.

And then there's the dissection of the main event.

The scholars brought an equipment similar to a hunter's skinning knife and gave it to Ran.

"Normally this should be done by us, although we don't have much strength, and it is difficult to cut the leather and scale armor of monsters, but the hunters' methods are always not well suited to research. But you're different. ”

"Your technique is stable enough, we have exchanged academics together before, you are not the kind of reckless hunter who only knows how to slash and kill."

Lan En took the scalpel, which was the length of an adult's arm, shrugged and walked towards the Jawdragon.

"Where to start?"

"We're going to start with the organ that hasn't undergone significant mutations, the throat pouch at the throat location."

The scholars showed Lan En a hand-drawn diagram of the anatomy of a common brute-jawed dragon.

"This requires opening the surgical field from the side of the neck, bypassing the second artery and the blood vessels."

"And a deep vein, with a deep plexus, right?"

Before the scholar who presented the anatomical diagram could finish speaking, Lan En methodically finished the rest of his words.

The scholar blinked in a daze, then pursed his lips and said, "Uh, you're right. ”

"Then I'll start doing it."

The scalpel was steady and precise in Lanen's hand.

Although he doesn't have a lot of surgical experience, he is already at the level of being able to operate on his own body.

The [junior high level biological knowledge] recognized by the interstellar civilization made his knife clean and neat, and even unconsciously looked a little artistic.

Anyway, things like swords and sharp weapons can be played with very well in his hands, and this kind of craft is almost instinctive.

The brute-jawed dragon lay in a state of anesthesia and coma for a long time, during which time he was perfused into the esophagus by the management to survive.

But after such a long time, under Mentos's scanning, it was found that the muscles of its whole body were not relaxed, and its weight was estimated to have lost less than 300 pounds.

It doesn't look like lying down for a long time without exercise.

It can only be said that the monsters in this world are indeed resilient.

Even if he had been eating liquid food, the tail that had been cut off by Lan En had already grown back with flesh and bones, but the black hair on the skin was still a little light.

Under the command of the scholars, Lan En successively dissected the laryngeal pouch in the neck of the Fierce Claw, observed the muscle morphology under its epidermis, and the distribution of the nerve plexus at the base of the dorsal wing membrane.

All organs that are no different from ordinary brute-jawed dragons have been examined, and the degree of mutation is very shallow, which can be basically attributed to individual differences.

But then, Lane began to head towards his ribcage.

Because of the stability and skillfulness of the technique, Lan En has not hurt any of the large blood vessels of the Brutejaw Dragon so far, so there is only bleeding caused by the rupture of the capillaries.

Even with the entire fiery claw exposing a large area of subcutaneous muscle, the blood it shed was only about ten liters.

The blood had accumulated into a tiny puddle under Lanne's feet.

"The Flame Bag has been found!"

The Jawed Dragon's source organs, capable of ejecting hot Mars, were within Lan's reach.

The whole flame pouch is a sac-like organ that resembles a beehive and consists of multiple small chambers.

In fact, each small chamber is a small flame bag.

This is also the reason why hunters can get multiple Flame Bags from monsters when hunting.

Because the whole Flame Bag was shattered into small ones.

This is also the reason why the attribute attacks emitted by the hunter's weapons are far less powerful than those issued by the monsters themselves.

Because the hunter can only fit on the weapon is a small part of the weapon that has not been damaged in battle, and the weapon can be accommodated in the design space.

The Brute-Jawed Dragon's Flame Bag needs to be activated with its own high body temperature.

And now, although the body temperature of the Barbarian Jaw Dragon is stable, Lan En still feels the heat as if he was touching a boiling kettle when he touched the flame bag with his bare hands.

"It's so energetic."

Lan En sighed in his heart.

What else can I say after being anesthetized and perfused for so long and being so healthy that I can't do it?

But then, in the quiet 'brush, brush' of the quill records of the scholars.

Mentos, however, suddenly marked a line in Lan's field of vision.

"Sir, based on your feel and my calculations, at the position of this line, the Flame Bag seems to have a link stretched out."

The biological brain said rationally and calmly.

"And on the anatomy of the original species of the brute-jawed dragon, this link does not exist."

The witcher's cat's eyes froze.

"Gentlemen, I think I've made something new."

He shouted to the scholars around him, and as wide as he could, he pointed out the gland that was buried in the muscle, which was not obvious.

At first, the scholars just leaned over their glasses to look closer, but it didn't take long for cheers to be heard!

"Woohoo!"

A gland buried in a muscle that looks like an inconspicuous line in the muscle. But scholars could tell at a glance that it was an organ they had never found in other brute-jawed dragons before.

"Obvious mutation!"

The director was also cheering.

"Open it up along the gland, let's see where it connects!"

In the end, Lan En proved that this gland was indeed the biggest reason why Blazing Claw was different from the original Brute Jaw.

The gland that connected to the Flame Bag branched off at the waist of the Blazing Claw, and then to the left and right legs.

The one in it has a distinctly strong leg with smaller glands.

The leg, which looked similar to the original, was enlarged and full, and was connected to the fingernails of the claw.

"That's why it emits flames from the soles of its feet! It mutated into a gland that supplied flammable substances! ”

Scholars cheered, but at the same time did not forget to capitalize their respective research notes to feature features that had already been discovered, and speculations that had yet to be proven.

"And that distinctly strong leg. The glands on this leg are instead shriveled. ”

Lan En was also distracted, and said as he gently stroked his fingers along the gland that he had dissected.

"The Brute-Jawed Dragon's Flame Pouch needs to be activated by a high body temperature, is it possible that this is a two-way relationship? The shriveled gland stimulates the muscles in this leg to maintain a high body temperature that is close to exercise, but is incapable of secreting flammable substances. And then make the strength of this leg more prominent? ”

"It's quite possible."

So says the director of the Institute of Ecology.

Although these scholars are excited, they are still at a level of 'seeing the new'.

But in Lan's eyes, it was completely. Astound!
