High Above Chapter 16

  Chapter 16 Curious

  The sound of flesh cutting and body fluid flowing paused for a while. The owner of the knife seemed shocked by the unexpected information and fell into deep thought.

   But soon, the sound of cutting sounded again, and the analysis of the human body continued.

[Human bodies on Terra do not seem to have evolved naturally—most of the structures of natural creatures are extremely complicated, useless, and even contradictory, as long as they are sufficient... For example, it is like a crooked tree , ugly, not beautiful, but still able to survive, even very healthy]

[But the human body on Terra is not like this. They are like a straight and tall pine tree that is so healthy that it has the beauty of life. Whether it is a more reasonable lung structure, an extremely strong liver, and some temporarily unclear functions The unknown organs all appear clear and full of vitality]

  【Uh, having said that, what are these raised cartilages around the spine and cervical vertebrae? 】

  【I think about it, yes, it should strengthen and stabilize the spine structure. Indeed, the ability to withstand shocks will be much stronger, and it is difficult for a Terran to be concussed by ordinary shocks. This is really all-round armed, the Terrans are armed to the teeth! 】

[Even on Earth, if you want to achieve such a result, you must carry out genetic modification from the fertilized egg stage... Speaking of this, the gizzard is really familiar, and it is very similar to the 'Glutton III Auxiliary Digestive Organ', but it is The advanced genetic organs assembled by the elite explorers of alien colonies are not used by ordinary people at all]

  【Existing tools do not have the ability to dissect the brain, but the results are enough to make a conclusion: Terrans are a higher race comparable to new humans】

  【Human bodies on Terra are incredibly strong. Even without civilization, they can adapt to almost all natural environments with their instincts and basic beast intelligence alone, and they are extremely difficult to be extinct】

  【Coupled with the promotion of psionic energy to the physical body...the hidden power behind this world may be far beyond my imagination】

  【Hey, wait, this leg...】

  Late at night in the lake forest, the rocks are not dim due to the moonlight, but quite clear and bright.

   Around the corpse wrapped in tarpaulin, blood pooled out, but it didn't spill everywhere.

   It would be better to say that the amount of bleeding was unexpectedly small because the dissected body was not a living person, but a corpse that had been deliberately placed for a period of time.

  Ian, holding a fish-splitting knife, had a simple sackcloth covering his delicate face as a mask.

  When the gem-like blue eyes reflected the appalling corpse of his uncle, they did not fluctuate at all, just as calm as ordinary people seeing the stones everywhere on the roadside.

   But now, there are rare fluctuations in these calm eyes.

  Because, a mist with a different color rose from the deformed right leg of the corpse.

   "Light blue halo."

   Putting down the knife in his hand and washing his hands with lake water, Ian nodded thoughtfully.

  The vision of vision that has been opened not only allows Ian to see clearly under the moonlight, but also can see the mist on the deformed legs covered by carapace and horniness.

   "This is not ordinary... Even if it is a tumor or cancer, ordinary human beings will not have this kind of distortion in the legs."

   "And, there is actually a light blue halo?"

  Ian frowned and thought.

   You know, the unreasonable hypnotic agent of Supor Sleeping Powder is outrageous enough, it is only blue.

   And the light blue halo is only a little worse than sleeping powder, so what is it?

   Curious, Ian walked over and cut open the deformed flesh along the cracks in the carapace.

   It took a long time before he took out a deformed 'L' shaped bone from it.

   This bone is extremely strong, it is the light blue fog lingering body, Ian tried to cut it with an iron knife, it felt like cutting steel - the hardness of this thing is even comparable to high-quality iron-nickel alloy!

  The L-shaped bone is about 15 centimeters long, 10 centimeters wide, and its cross-section is about 4 centimeters long.

  Ian felt very heavy when holding it. Although it was not as heavy as steel of the same volume, it was much heavier than ordinary bones.

   This is obviously not the kind of bone that ordinary creatures can grow. At least the bones of ordinary people cannot be cut with a knife or saw.

"If this leg is fully developed." Ian thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what such a deformed bone would look like, but the hardness alone is strong enough: "It must be an iron leg? At least it is military grade. The strength of the modified prosthetic body can completely block bullets."

He rubbed his sore hands, then nodded to Ossena's dilapidated corpse: "Even if the human beings in this world are not the result of genetic modification, at least there must be a well-developed psionic and magical civilization behind them. At least my knowledge can't help you." other explanations."

   "In any case, there are more layers of mysteries on the continent of Terra, which is really curious."

  All cruel pleasures will eventually end in cruelty. Ossena took pleasure in abusing Ian and his brothers, and his death provided Ian with very important information, which answered many of Ian's doubts.

  —Can the physiological knowledge of people on Earth be applied to people on Terra? Are they also flesh and blood?

  —If it is necessary to fight and fight, what is the key point of the people of Terra?

   Now that these questions have answers, it is a joy.

   "It's time to dispose of the corpse."

  Ian stood up and relieved the sore lumbar spine that had been bent for a long time.

   Then, he picked up the shovel and prepared to dig a hole in an open space by the lake to bury the body.

   At this moment, the old knight who almost saw Ian's dissection process from beginning to end also stepped forward.

  Before, he had been standing by the side, preventing other lake beasts from approaching, but now, he stepped forward and walked with Ian.

  The two were walking by the lakeside under the moonlight. The man stared at Ian's blood-stained hands, pondered for a while, and then said, "Why did you do that?"

  Although there is no specific reference, how could Ian not know what the other party asked?

  Although I don't know the ethics of the Terra world and whether what I did was desecrating the corpse, at least the old knight didn't stop it. Although the man frowned, he didn't show any stop.

   There was even a hint of surprise.

   "This is a very important and necessary action."

  So, the white-haired boy simply said that he was a little tired. The long-term exercise and the opening of the vision vision made Ian feel hungry again.

   But then, after thinking about it for a while, he pulled himself together, spoke again, and explained seriously: "I want to see what the structure of the human body is like."

   Lifting his head and looking at the solemn face of the old knight, Ian replied frankly: "Or, I'm curious."
