Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 745 Chapter 727. Monster Research

It can be seen that these scholars have been holding back their research on Lieclaw for a long time.

After the Barbarian Jaw Dragon was dragged out from its sleep and placed on the open ground.

These scholars were very familiar with it and drew an overall sketch of the monster in their books with just a few strokes.

Then give a brief description of the appearance characteristics and ecological habits above.

Because there is no difference between the habits of Lieclaw and the ordinary Barbarian Jaw Dragon, this step was completed quickly.

And then came the highlight of the anatomy.

The scholars brought a piece of equipment similar to a hunter's skinning knife and gave it to Lan En.

"Normally this is what we should do. Although we don't have much strength, it is difficult to cut the monster's leather and scales, but the hunters' methods always don't match the research. But you are different."

"Your skills are stable enough. We have exchanged academic knowledge together before. You are not a reckless hunter who only knows how to kill."

Lan En took the scalpel, which was as long as an adult's arm, shrugged and walked towards the Brutal Jaw Dragon.

"Where to start?"

"We are going to start with an organ that has not undergone obvious mutations, the laryngeal pouch in the throat."

The scholars showed Lan En a hand-drawn anatomical diagram of the anatomy of Barthegnathus vulgaris.

"This requires you to open the surgical field from the side of the neck and bypass the second artery and blood vessel."

"There is also a deep vein and a deep nerve plexus, right?"

Before the scholar who showed the anatomy diagram could finish speaking, Lan En finished the rest of his words in an orderly manner.

The scholar blinked blankly, then murmured with his lips: "Well, you're right."

"Then I'll start."

The scalpel was steady and precise in Lan En's hand.

Although his surgical experience is not extensive, he is already at a level where he can operate on himself.

The [Junior High School Level Biological Knowledge] recognized by interstellar civilizations made his swordsmanship clean and neat, and even appeared to be somewhat artistic without even realizing it.

Anyway, swords and sharp weapons can be played beautifully in his hands. This skill is almost instinctive.

The Mangnathus lay in an anesthetized coma for a long time. During this period, the management staff fed him food into his esophagus to sustain himself.

But after such a long period of time, Mentos scans revealed that the muscles throughout his body had not relaxed much, and his weight was estimated to have only dropped less than 300 kilograms.

It doesn't look like he has been lying down for a long time without exercising.

It can only be said that the monsters in this world are indeed strong and tough.

Even if he has been eating liquid food, the tail that Lan En cut off has grown back with bones and flesh, but the black hair on the skin is still a little lighter in color.

Under the command of the scholars, Lan En opened the throat pouch in Lieclaw's neck and observed the shape of the muscles under its skin and the distribution of the nerve plexus at the root of the wing membrane on its back.

All the organs that are the same as those of the common Brachygnathosaurus have been examined, and the degree of variation is very shallow, which can basically be attributed to individual differences.

But then, Lan En began to move towards the chest.

Because of the stability and skill of his technique, Lan En has not hurt any of the large blood vessels of the Barbarian Jaw Dragon so far, so there is only bleeding caused by capillary rupture.

Even if the entire Fierce Claw exposed a large area of ​​subcutaneous muscle, the blood it shed would only be about ten liters.

The blood accumulated into a small puddle at Lan En's feet.

"The bag of fire has been found!"

The source organ of the Barbarian Jaw that can eject high-temperature sparks is moving within Lan En's reach.

The entire flame bag is a sac-like organ composed of multiple small chambers similar to a honeycomb.

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

This is also the reason why hunters can get multiple fire bags from monsters' bodies when hunting.

Because the complete fire bag was broken into smaller ones.

This is also the reason why the attribute attacks issued by the hunter's weapons are far less powerful than those issued by the monster itself. Because what hunters can put on their weapons is only the small part that has not been damaged in the battle and can be accommodated in the design space of the weapon.

The fire bag of the Barbarian Jaw needs to be activated by its own high body temperature.

Now, although the body temperature of the Barbarian Jaw Dragon was stable, Lan En still felt as hot as touching a boiling kettle when he touched the flame bag with his bare hands.

"Full of energy."

Lan En sighed in his heart.

Having been anesthetized and force-fed for so long, you are not healthy anymore, what else can you say?

But then, in the quiet sound of the scholars' quills recording.

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

"Sir, according to your touch and my calculation analysis, at the position of this line, the flame bag seems to extend a link."

Biological Intelligence spoke rationally and calmly.

"And in the anatomical diagram of the original species of Bargnathus, this link does not exist."

The demon hunter's cat eyes suddenly narrowed.

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

He spoke loudly to the scholars around him, and tried to expand the surgical field of view to point out the gland that was buried in the muscle and was not obvious.

At first, the scholars just held their glasses and looked closer in confusion, but before long, cheers came out!

"Alas!"

A gland buried in the muscle looks like an inconspicuous line in the muscle. But scholars can tell at a glance that this is an organ they have never found on other barbarian jaws before.

"Obviously mutated!"

The director was also cheering.

"Follow the gland and let's see where it connects!"

In the end, Lan En proved that this gland was indeed the biggest reason for the difference between Fiery Claw and the original Brachygnathus.

This gland, which is directly connected to the flame bag, bifurcates at Lieclaw's waist, and then connects to the left and right legs.

The obviously stronger leg has smaller glands.

As for the leg that looked similar to the original species, the glands were enlarged and full, and were connected to the gaps between Lieclaw's nails.

"This is why it can emit flames from the soles of its feet! It has mutated a gland that specifically supplies flammable substances!"

Scholars cheered, but at the same time they did not forget to highlight the features that had been discovered in their research notes, as well as the guesses that still need to be proven.

"And that leg that was obviously strong...the glands in that leg were shriveled up."

Lan En was also in a trance, gently stroking his fingers along the glands he had dissected, while talking.

"The fire bag of Barbarius needs high body temperature to activate. Is it possible that this is a two-way influence? This shriveled gland stimulates the muscles in this leg to maintain a high body temperature that is almost in motion, but it has no ability to secrete It produces flammable substances. And thus makes the strength of this leg more prominent?"

"That's quite possible."

The director of the Institute of Ecology said so.

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

But in Lan En's eyes, there was complete shock!

What is this! ?
