Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1242 1214. Stomach Magic
Tishaya, who wanted to be strong but was weak due to the world's environment, was put aside for the time being.

Lan En joined the team studying the [Mist Nest Master].

The craftsmen who had been waiting in the workshop area outside began to build simple floors with swift hands and feet.

Because the body of a Tyrannosaurus Rex is 40 meters long, even if it is lying on its side, the thickness of the body is still 7 to 8 meters.

If researchers want to reach the other side, they have to use tools to climb up and down.

So the first thing that started next to the corpse of the [Mist Nest Lord] was engineering work.

The arena feels more like a construction site than a research site.

But researchers from all walks of life seem to be used to it.

After all, for those who have been studying the monsters of this world for a long time, the larger the monster is, the more complicated the research becomes, and the more the research site looks like a construction site.

Lan En was the first to use the slingshot claws on his arm armor to climb onto the body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and successfully found the familiar wound that he had cut.

After a quick rummaging, he took the conical crystal in his hand and put it back into the alchemical leather bag on his waist.

The construction of the 'construction site' lasted about twenty minutes, and the craftsmen in the workshop area were indeed elites.

Not only are they familiar with weapon making, they have also generally had experience in cooperation with the Dragon Calendar Institute and the Scribes Team before coming to the New World.

Therefore, it is very clear how the research equipment should be built.

Scholars and researchers had already rushed up to the simple building impatiently and began to surround the corpse of the [Mist Nest Master] and write and draw in their notebooks.

"How come it's so big?"

The director of the Institute of Ecology sighed tremblingly.

"It's exciting to see a short-lived Deinosaurus grow to this size, but it's sad to think about how much ecological destruction it had to go through to get to this size."

The researchers began to measure the specific body size of the [Mist Nest Lord] up and down, and collected a small amount of samples from various parts of its body for archiving.

Tishaya's magic pressed the chaotic magic power that was originally scattered on the body of the [Mist Nest Lord] into the body. Even if a hole was opened, the chaotic magic power would not pour out, but would still be trapped in the body tissues and would not be involved with external things.

Therefore, there is no problem in using a knife or taking action.

Lan En did not comment on the director of the Institute of Ecology's sentiments.

"I suggest opening its stomach first to study it. That's where the curse mainly takes effect."

The demon hunter made the suggestion from a professional perspective, and also because the stomach of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was one of the powerful organs that he valued very much.

"It can absorb the nutrients of the creatures killed by the Cursed Mist Demon and complete digestion. This also causes its hunting range to expand to small creatures."

"Let me do it. If the stomach, the key part where the curse is concentrated, is fine, then other parts will be no problem."

"When the time comes, we can break it down into small pieces and spread them out to be degraded by nature, or see if we can make a few sets of equipment."

The old man from the Doudinger Dragon Clan nodded in agreement, then raised his head tremblingly and patted Lan En's leg.

"That makes sense. Come, let's go to its front and operate on its abdomen."

As he spoke, the old man could not wait to take the first step, stepping on the simple floor with a "thump thump" sound, and walked towards the front of the [Mist Nest Master].

A group of excited and curious researchers were busy and jumping up and down on the huge corpse.

At this time, the researcher had no regard for the director or the squad leader.

Everyone was excited about this unprecedentedly large Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Generally speaking, the body length of ancient dragons like Flame King Dragon and Nergigante is basically controlled between 20 and 22 meters.

This is an ideal size for their athletic ability and ecological habits.

It is also the size that best suits their combat effectiveness. If it is any bigger, it will become cumbersome.

As for large ancient dragons, the Hunter Guild's classification standard is set at over 35 meters in length.

Even though the body length standard has only been raised by ten meters, the size of living things is calculated in cubic meters.

The increase of ten meters in body length is equivalent to a huge increase of cubic times in volume!
The average body length of an African elephant is almost twice that of a lion, but when the two stand together, the relationship in size between them is very obvious.

As for the super-large ancient dragons above them, they are at the level of Molten Dragon and King Dragon. It is impossible to count their numbers and perhaps it is impossible to estimate an upper limit.

But no matter what, the 40-meter body length of the [Lord of the Mist Nest] Tyrannosaurus Rex is extraordinary no matter where it is placed.

Lan En and his group came to the front. The demon hunter went up and tied a thick rope to the relatively short and thin forelimbs of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and then threw it behind the corpse.

After Winder and Little Jack caught it on the other side, they pulled it back hard and tied the rope to a fixed stake.

This movement forced the corpse's two front limbs apart, exposing the front of the chest cavity.

The two researchers gritted their teeth and struggled to move over a long knife that was large in size but had a thin and delicate blade that was even sharp enough to be a little fragile.

Lan took off his gloves and arm armor, moved his fingers to improve his muscle sensitivity, and then grasped the oversized scalpel with a very stable hand.

This is a knife prepared for dissecting large monsters, and it comes with several spare blades. In order to ensure a smooth and neat cut, the durability of the blade has to be sacrificed.

Although the researchers were reluctant to leave at this time, there was already some space around Lan En.

This is to ensure that the stomach of the [Mist Nest Lord], the most evil part, will not hurt outsiders when it is cut open.

After picking up the special scalpel, Lan En tilted his head left and right to observe the current position of the [Mist Nest Master] and the expected location of the incision from all angles.

"Mentos, start surgical positioning assistance."

"Deploying. Deployment completed. In addition, I have selected the most reliable of the seven options and uploaded it as an autopsy suggestion. Please review it, sir."

The biochemical intelligent computer's pretentious voice, tuned out by Lan En, explained in an orderly manner.

After looking at the corner of his retina for a minute, Lan had roughly understood the solution provided by Mentos.

At the same time, in his field of vision, the biochemical intelligent computer also provided a map of bone orientation and muscle distribution on the image of the corpse of the [Mist Nest Lord] for reference.

With the assistance of biochemical intelligent brain, the thinking can basically be kept clear and smooth throughout the entire operation.

As the blade cut into the flesh with a smooth sound, Lan En explored deep into the body of the "Mist Nest Lord" under the eager gaze of many researchers and scholars.

The dark green tough skin was covered with blood scabs and dirt, which were all traces of the Tyrannosaurus Rex's crazy predation.

As you go deeper, you will see the strong muscles that are expanding wildly due to the Tyrannosaurus Rex's soaring metabolism.

Fortunately, it was already dead, and the muscles were limp instead of tense. Otherwise, the sharp but fragile blade would have worn out faster, even under Lan En's swordsmanship.

"I am now circumventing its abdominal vascular network. This area is no different from a normal Tyrannosaurus Rex. Next, we need to find its stomach."

While Blood Ci was working, Lan En explained his ideas to the scholars and researchers behind him without blinking, so that they could record and analyze them.

Finally, after groping deeper and deeper, almost putting his entire arm and the large scalpel in, Lan En touched the target.

The roaring bear head pendant on the demon hunter's neck jumped for the first time since Tishaya cast the magic to seal off the chaos power.

The stomach is indeed the focal point of the chaotic magic that has been twisted into a curse by the Lord of the Mist Nest.

"Give me a hook so I can pull out its stomach. It's too deep in here!"

Lan En shouted without turning his head, and soon a long-handled surgical hook as thick as a crowbar was handed to him from behind.

Fortunately, the vitality of creatures in the New World has always been incredibly strong.

The researchers at the Ecological Research Institute usually do the same thing with the monsters captured by hunters. After dissecting and studying them, they release them back into the wild, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The damage caused by the autopsy was finally recovered as if it were just a good night's sleep.

Therefore, the instruments used to dissect monsters here are always of this style.

As for the [Lord of the Mist Nest], he was simply a corpse that needed to be rendered harmless, so there was no need to be careful.

The blood was sizzling, and it carried with it the stench and fishy smell of internal organs.

Lan En pulled the hook and pulled the stomach sac from deep in the chest cavity to near the opening, exposing it.

The stomach sac, which is still as big as a person after being shrunk and tightened, looks strong and tough, and is spontaneously emitting a magical glow.

However, those scholars who were brave enough to get closer out of curiosity discovered that they did not feel any inexplicable discomfort.

This means that the magic power is still locked.

"quick!"

The old man from the Dragon Clan was trembling as if he was about to suffocate and pass out.

"Take it down! Save the research!"

Lan En cut off the connection between the huge stomach and the inside of the body. He rolled up the highly elastic stomach and placed it in the organ preservation box next to him.

The stomach of [Mist Nest Master] seemed to be extremely empty, so it shrunk like this.

Does this mean that the meat, proteins and fats 'hunted' by the cursed fog demon were not 'transmitted' into its stomach by the curse?

Instead, it was directly converted into magic power and then transmitted remotely? That's why the stomach looked like it had been empty for a long time.

After all, chaos magic takes up very little space compared to solid pieces of meat and cannot fill such a large stomach.

Lan En thought about it as he pinched the wrinkled piece of meat on the large stomach with his fingers.

That is to say.
The witcher's amber cat eyes flashed with contemplation.

He raised his eyes to look at the Tyrannosaurus Rex he had killed, its small yellow eyes now dim.

Has it evolved to the point where it can not only use its stomach to digest physical nutrients, but can even directly digest magic power?

Horrible creature.
