From the advent of the mountains and seas

Chapter 60 Viscera
Conditions in the jungle are poor.

Tang Ruosheng could only conduct a simple anatomical analysis of the deer head monster.

Even so, important clues were still obtained.

"Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung, Kidney."

The white cloth was spread on the cleaned ground, and the organs were placed on it according to their positions in the human body. Tang Ruosheng put his hands on his chest and said in a deep voice,

"The longevity of the deer head monster is incomplete. It is in a state of collapse all the time, and it is not a real undead."

An Jing cast his eyes on the vital organs of the human body on the white cloth.

Even if he has no research on the structure of the human body, he can still easily see that except for the heart, the rest of the organs are extremely decayed or even dilapidated, and they will fester with the slightest touch.

Was the deer head monster confronting him and Commander Lu with this battered body?
"The deer-headed monster's replacement heart is certainly powerful, giving him a long lifespan and tyrannical ability, but this ability is not something that ordinary people can bear, and it is bound to pay the price!"

Tang Ruosheng shook his head and said as his eyes fell on the empty body of the deer head monster.

Generally speaking, the lifespan of ferocious beasts or monster beasts undoubtedly exceeds that of ordinary people. It is not uncommon to live for hundreds of years. If you want to live forever, transforming yourself into a half-human, half-fierce beast does sound like a possibility of success .

However, anyone with a little bit of medical knowledge knows that even human-to-human organ transplants will cause rejection, not to mention the transformation between humans and beasts, which may completely collapse if you are not careful.

Not to mention maintaining human sanity on this basis.

"With its physical condition, apart from the fact that its heart is full of failed organs, how can it live until now?"

Commander Lu quickly noticed the crux of the problem.

Based on the physical condition of the deer head monster exposed after being dissected, it should have died long ago, but not only did it not die, but it survived on this island for so long, and it was even able to control some humanoid monsters to serve as bait.

"The answer is right under our feet."

Tang Ruosheng raised his finger and pointed to the humanoid monsters lying on the ground not far away and the mummy dug out by the soldiers.
"This grassland has obviously been transformed by the deer head monster or other people who conducted the experiment back then. It can absorb the surrounding vitality and convert it into a special kind of life energy with extraordinary recovery ability!"

Reminiscent of the tentacles that came out of the ground when he was fighting the monsters just now, An Jing understood what Tang Ruosheng meant.

This meadow is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

A mass grave in the depths of the jungle, without any tall trees, only grass, which is contrary to common sense.

The corpse should be able to bring nutrients to the land, but now it has been dead for hundreds of years, and not even a single big tree can grow in the entire area.

So here comes the question, where did the vitality of nature go?
The deer head monster's behavior after being injured is the most straightforward explanation.

It can survive until now, relying on the vitality supply of this grassland!

To put it bluntly, this deer head monster just found a "cheat" for his dilapidated body, and forcibly used this method to continue his life.

It is also because of this that Tang Ruosheng said that the deer head monster was just a failed experiment, and it had too many flaws. No wonder he wanted to use this method to attract people who landed on the island. Rejuvenate.

"If there is no accident, there should be a large number of human bones buried under this grassland, and there may be some kind of special formation. It's a pity that our manpower is too small. If we want to do further excavations, we don't have enough manpower!"

Tang Ruosheng looked at the grass under his feet with some disappointment, and said helplessly.

There is quite a distance from the beach here, and it is very difficult for ordinary civilians to come in, but if the sergeants are asked to carry tools to dig, it will undoubtedly be time-consuming and laborious, and it will only delay their progress.

At least for now, it is not the right choice to invest a lot of manpower here.

"Try to get other clues first, this can be used as the last choice."

Commander Lu, just as Tang Ruosheng thought, paused and said,

"When we get in touch with the other two fleets, we may be able to excavate here together. They are all here to fulfill His Majesty's mission. I think they will not refuse."

The manpower of one fleet is insufficient, plus the manpower of the other two fleets, it is more than enough.

"Heh, it's better to ask the monsters in the jungle to dig for us than to expect them to help. The credit lies there. I'm afraid that the Fusi of Beizhen where you are and the Fusi of Nanzhen under the command of Zhao Jinzhong will not be able to talk together~"

Tang Ruosheng curled his lips, as if he felt that Commander Lu's idea was a bit whimsical, but the latter did not refute it.

An Jing, who was standing aside, raised his eyebrows, knowing that the three fleets scattered all over the island probably represented their respective forces in the imperial court.

Leaving aside whether they can cooperate or not, it might not be surprising for them to trip up each other at certain critical moments.

"If I remember correctly, the deer head monster once said that he would make me into a living pill, as if doing so would solve its problem."

Seeing the two people in front of him falling silent, An Jing couldn't help asking, recalling the information revealed by the deer head monster's words.

Tang Ruosheng looked over in astonishment before he finished speaking,
"Huodan, are you sure it said so?"

"Any questions?"

"The concept of alchemy was proposed by Taoism, and it belongs to a different system from the Buddhist posture shown by the deer head monster. The so-called living alchemy should mean to refine you into a certain kind of existence that can be absorbed by it in a certain way."

In the middle of speaking, Tang Ruosheng suddenly fell silent, frowning and pacing back and forth on the spot, just when An Jing and Commander Lu were about to ask questions, he suddenly clapped his fists and said happily,

"That's right, why did I forget about this? Remember what we said in the main tent, no laboratory, if the deer head monster wants to make living pills, it must have an alchemy room, which probably occupies an alchemy room." It is the stronghold where the medicine of immortality was researched hundreds of years ago!"

As if to verify Tang Ruosheng's conjecture, his voice fell, and a soldier raised his hand at the edge of the grass not far away to signal that he had found something, and shouted loudly,
"Report to my lord, a stone tablet was found here, with ancient characters engraved on it!"

The soldier didn't know the ancient characters, so Tang Ruosheng hurried over.

An Jing and Commander Lu wanted to follow to check, but just as they left, they heard the sound of heavy footsteps from the other side.

Turn around and look over.

It was only then that it was discovered that Hu Shen would lead his team to follow the signal flares and come here to meet up.

However, when they saw the people appearing from the dense forest one after another, they frowned unanimously.
