Chapter 222 Advances in Anatomy

Monkey is eating.

"Brother, do you think my food is okay?" it asked while eating.

"Not bad." Liu Ping said.

"Then can you let me go back?" asked the monkey.

"Sorry, no."

Liu Ping patted it on the shoulder and said, "You can stay here with peace of mind, I promise it's safe and there won't be any danger."

"then you--"

"I just need such a quiet environment, so please stay here for a while."

Liu Ping turned around and walked towards the other end of the arena.

Halfway through, he suddenly turned around and said:

"By the way, you have eaten my meal, please pay 100 billion gold coins."

"100 billion gold coins?" The monkey almost jumped up, and said with a mournful face, "Brother, even if you sell me, I can't afford it."

"It's fine if you can't afford it." Liu Ping nodded.

Lines of burning small characters quickly surfaced:
"The flame monkey has not paid the reward for the current sacrament, and has entered a weak state."

next moment.

The monkey, like a cardboard man, slid off the seat and lay on the ground in a coma.

——It was originally drawn out of soul power, and now it has entered a weak state, this monkey really can't hold on anymore.

"Do you want to kill it?" Andrea asked.

"No, let it just rest like this, we need such a space." Liu Ping said.

Standing at a distance, he stretched out his hand and pulled out a booklet.

——"Anatomy and Reconstruction Handbook (Sentients Edition)"

After getting this book, he should study it as soon as possible, so as to master the body structure of the dragon race, and replace the dragon spine for Andrea as soon as possible.

But never got around to it.

now.

In this battle of ascension to the gods, time is frozen at this moment.

As long as the monkeys don't threaten me, then I'm safe here, and I don't have to think about any other issues, so I can calm down and study this book carefully.

He turned the book to the third page, cut his finger, and dripped a drop of blood.

A perfect halo erupted from the booklet, covering Liu Ping in it.

In a trance, the surrounding scene changes accordingly.

next moment.

Liu Ping realized that he had landed on the ground, and the surrounding scene had completely changed.

I saw that the whole world was made up of towering cylinders.

At the top of these large and small cylinders, there are various corpses, each of which is completely sealed by frost.

Looking around, the whole world is a dark cylinder.

Nothing else.

A majestic and solemn voice sounded:

"If you want to dissect a dragon, you must have many pre-dissection techniques and have extensive knowledge of species structure."

"From now on, you will watch the dissection of a dragon."

"After all the dissection demonstrations are over, you must immediately get on the dissection table and perform a dissection on this dragon."

"If your dissection fails..."

"You will become a specimen here, waiting for the next learner with other corpses."

"——This is the basic requirement of the Anatomy and Reconstruction Manual."

"If you decide to learn, the dissection will begin immediately."

"But if you give up—"

"This "Anatomy and Reconstruction Manual (Sentients Edition)" will disappear from your hands, and will never belong to you again."

Liu Ping smiled, and murmured: "Fortunately, I have a lot of experience and skills in anatomy—let's start."

"you sure?"

"determine."

All surrounding cylinders disappear.

Liu Ping found himself standing on a huge cylinder, and in front of him was a giant dragon frozen in frost.

A black figure appeared quietly.

I couldn't see his appearance clearly, but I could only see a short knife half arm's length in his hand.

The man stared at Liu Ping and said softly:

"If you don't learn it, then you are my specimen."

"Okay, but you can't hide your secrets during the demonstration. I came to learn with a very sincere attitude." Liu Ping said.

"You can rest assured about this..."

After the black figure finished speaking, he put his hand on the ice cube behind him and pressed it lightly.

All the frost turned into torrents of blood and drained from the cylinder.

The dragon's body appeared in front of the two of them.

"It's about to start."

The black figure said.

Liu Ping's expression became serious, he saluted first to the black figure, then to the dragon corpse.

Seeing this, the black figure silently nodded.

He turned around and faced the dragon corpse and said: "The dragon race is different from other races. The most important part of them is neither the heart nor the brain. As for the blood vessels, muscles and outer skin, they only play the role of transmitting various mana. The real and most important power center of the Dragon Clan is the bones."

Liu Jing listened quietly.

The black figure raised the knife, slowly cut the dragon corpse, and continued:
"So when dissecting dragons, if you make a mistake, you would rather destroy the muscles, blood vessels and internal organs than traumatize the bones."

His movements are skillful and light, and his feet move freely, which is better than walking in a garden.

For a moment.

The side of the dragon corpse was cut open.

A long dragon spine appeared before Liu Ping's eyes.

"Look, this is the dragon spine, you can't see anything if you just observe it with the naked eye, but if we say it with the dragon spell—"

The black figure spat out an obscure incantation.

On the snow-white dragon spine, densely packed natural runes suddenly appeared, emitting bursts of rhythmic chirping sounds.

"How beautiful, like a work of art."

The black figure said in an intoxicated tone.

Liu Ping stepped forward to watch carefully, and said casually: "So the power of the dragon clan actually comes from the bones of the whole body, and the dragon's spine is the center of power, is that so?"

"Yes."

"Then if the dragon spine is replaced—"

"The dragon will be abolished. Whether it is alive or dead, it will remain in its infancy forever, and it will no longer be able to improve its strength."

After the black figure finished speaking, he picked up the knife in his hand and began to dissect the dragon's head.

"Notice."

"The main power of the dragon is mainly the natural dragon pattern in the bone, all gathered in the mouth and nasal cavity, released with sound, forming a dragon spell."

"According to their natural types, they can breathe fire and ice, or manipulate other elements. This depends on their blood and tongue—look, the blood of this dragon is purple, so it is better at manipulating space magic. .”

Liu Ping remembered something, and quickly asked, "Are there any dragons that are good at manipulating poison?"

"Poison? No, unless it was poisoned when it was born, and then gradually became immune, it is possible to control poisonous elements." The black figure said.

"That is to say—in addition to poison, it may also be good at manipulating other elements?" Liu Ping asked.

"Yes." The black figure said.

Liu Ping fell into deep thought.

Andrea's blood is very poisonous.

Not only was her spine replaced, but she was also poisoned when she was born, and then arrived in Yongye.

——Who on earth would treat a baby so cruelly?
Suddenly, the voice of the black figure interrupted Liu Ping's thoughts:

"Okay, let's look at the heart of the Dragon Clan next."

"Attention, its heart is very powerful, you can't arouse a little bit of strength when dissecting, otherwise its heart will sense it immediately, and then squirt blood everywhere."

Liu Ping said: "Understood... The structure of this heart is really delicate..."

The black figure suddenly said: "Do you like such a heart?"

—he seemed very interested in it.

At this time, others might follow his words, but Liu Ping has his own ideas.

"No, I don't really like such an overly powerful heart. I like those hearts that are more sophisticated and complex." Liu Ping said.

"Why?" the black figure asked.

"As a personal hobby, such a heart is actually more valuable for research, and more worthy of collection—this is my personal opinion." Liu Ping said.

The black figure glanced at him.

"Well, I like to see the blood pumping, so I like the dragon's heart." He said.

"Then you must like blood vessels." Liu Ping said immediately.

"Yeah, blood vessels are so wonderful and interesting, who doesn't like blood vessels?" the black figure said.

"I personally prefer the nervous system - the nervous systems of too many species are different, and you can feel what kind of life they live through the nerves." Liu Pingdao.

"This point of view is a bit strange, so what do you think of bones?" the black figure asked.

"If you don't talk about the dragon race, I think the bones are used for positioning—locating various organs, which is convenient for us to find. It's a natural memo." Liu Ping said.

"Hahaha," the black figure laughed loudly, "Yes, your statement is very interesting."

"Please be careful, your knife seems to be crooked just now." Liu Ping said.

"...I just had to talk to you, okay, let's start again." The black figure said.

"By the way, how do you usually write in your autopsy diary?" Liu Ping asked.

The knife of the black figure paused, and said: "Uniform format, numbered records, what about you?"

"I don't do that, I draw pictures." Liu Ping said.

"Draw a picture?" the black figure asked.

"Yes, draw a skeleton diagram, a diagram of internal organs, a diagram of nerves - everything is represented by diagrams, but the first diagram is a diagram of the external characteristics of the species, so that I don't have to remember the number, and I can see which anatomy it is by looking at the cover .” Liu Ping said.

"It's worth learning from." The black figure said.

He raised the knife, thought for a while, put it down again, and said:

"Although your level is so low, I can feel that you and I are on the same path. Why don't we stop for a while and talk about our dissection experience?"

"Of course, I have plenty of time right now." Liu Ping said.

The black figure waved.

The world suddenly changed and turned into a warm and quiet cabin.

"Sit down, what do you want to drink?" the black figure asked.

"Whatever—by the way, what do you think of the relationship between the body and the mysterious power?" Liu Ping said.

"I have done similar anatomical research on the native species of purgatory, how about you?" the black figure said.

Liu Ping shrugged and said, "I am not as strong as you, but I have done research on ghosts in the practice side world during the dissection, and I have some experience."

"A ghost? Very good, why don't we exchange opinions." The black figure said.

"It's what you want." Liu Ping said happily.
