Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 587

Chapter 582: Dissecting the Beast

Thor was suddenly attacked by a purple-black strip of meat, but for him, it was the end of his boring journey.

“Comparing tentacles with me?” Thor did not move, and the algae behind his neck suddenly emerged, split into ten in the air, and quickly drilled into the ground around Thor’s body.

Thor felt that the strip of meat that was entangled with him immediately loosened his legs and ran down. Thor

pressed his hands on the ground, and with a little force, he pulled his legs out.

Looking at the big hole that was constantly sinking on the ground, he took two steps back and waited for the algae to return.

After a few breaths, the sand under his feet began to tremble, and the rumbling sound caused the nearby ground to begin to shake.

The algae tensed, then pulled, and slowly pulled out from the ground.

The tangled vines netted a huge piece of soil, which emerged from the ground bit by bit. The black and gray dust on the soil fell down, forming a waterfall composed of sand.

A large amount of dust flew all over the sky, and for a while the visibility dropped to less than one meter.

Thor held his breath, narrowed his eyes, and waited for the monster in the soil to show up.

Finally, after most of the soil was shaken off by Xiaozao, a huge beast with a body length of three meters appeared inside the crisscrossing black vines.

This beast has a huge mouth and a relatively thin body and limbs. It looks as if only the mouth can eat, and the other limbs are almost degenerated.

The purple-red meat strip that once entangled Thor’s right leg was its tongue.

When it was pulled out of the ground by Xiaozao, it immediately stretched out its most powerful weapon, that is, its tongue, and desperately tore Xiaozao’s vines.

But Xiaozao now is not something that ordinary beasts can resist.

Seeing that one tongue could not break free from Xiaozao’s restraints, the unknown beast suddenly emerged from its mouth with four tongues again.

Five tongues entangled different vines and pulled in different directions, as if trying to use brute force to break free from Xiaozao.

But its resistance still failed.

“Okay, Xiaozao, let it go first.”

Xiaozao, who was originally entangled like a ball of yarn, immediately retracted it quickly. The huge beast immediately fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust again.

As soon as the beast landed, it was about to burrow into the soil, but Thor grabbed its tail and threw it over his shoulder, throwing it to the back.

While the beast was lying on its back, Thor jumped directly onto its white belly and stepped hard on the beast’s huge mouth with one foot, making it unable to open its mouth to attack Thor.

He had already seen that this beast usually hunted by vibration and hid under the sand. Except for its mouth, its other limbs were short and weak.

Even digging pits and ambushing relied on its mouth and its resilient and flexible tongue.

Just as Thor was about to check on the beast, his mental power attached to the compass sent back a sense that the Chaos Domain Compass had cooled down.

Thor lowered his head and estimated the time. It should be less than a day, about 20 to 22 hours.

The beast under his feet took advantage of Thor’s inattention and kept patting the soil with its tiny limbs.

The rhythm seemed to be purposeful.

“Is it asking for help from its companions? But the movement speed of this kind of creature shouldn’t be very fast, right?”

Thor thought about it and decided not to wait for the second beast to appear. He directly activated the Chaos Domain Compass and returned to the Wizard Main World.

Thor looked up and saw the mushroom forest in the distance and the Wizard Tower located in the misty white fog.

“Yes, there was no accident and I returned smoothly.”

Thor raised his foot, and the long-tongued big-mouthed monster that had attacked him also came back with him.

But now it was motionless. After a closer look, he found that the other party was dead.

Thor’s mental power swept over and found that there were many more active elemental particles in the monster’s body.

“That’s right, just like there is water pressure underwater, there is also elemental pressure in places where the concentration of elemental particles is very different. I feel so uncomfortable when I enter the Chaos Domain without active elements. It has never had active elements and suddenly entered the ownerless land filled with a large number of elemental particles. It is like suddenly entering the deep sea from the sea surface and being directly crushed to death.”

Xiaozao ran out again, passed through the beast’s mouth, and circled around his huge head a few times, hanging the beast directly in the air.

It seemed as if Thor had just returned from hunting.

On the Rhine Lake, a huge figure walked on the ice. The butler was the first to come out of the wizard tower. He looked up at the huge beast and opened his mouth slightly.

“Welcome back, Lord Tower Master, but I didn’t know you were out hunting.”

Thor reluctantly moved the beast from the stairwell to the basement. As soon as he cleared a laboratory table and put the beast on it, he saw several consciousnesses and the old witch running over curiously.

Although Camus did not speak, his eyes were also looking at the newly appeared monster.

“Where did you hunt this beast? It seems that there is no magic fluctuation in its body, but it looks so strange. I have never seen it before.” The old witch came forward and poked the beast’s head with her finger.

“It was hunted from a place you have never been to. But it is indeed a little special, so I will study it later.”

Thor skillfully dissected the beast and examined its body structure.

“The cartilage accounts for a large proportion of its body.” Agu assisted on the side, “It doesn’t seem to use its body much for hunting.”

“Well,” Thor checked the blood and meat, and answered casually, “It lay flat for too long.”

Then he began to dissect the beast’s head.

The bones are hard, and the skull is somewhat similar to that of a snake. It can swallow prey larger than its head.

While dissecting, Thor suddenly grabbed the beast’s five black and purple tongues and slowly pulled them out along the throat.

The root of the beast’s tongue is not in the mouth, but in the esophagus, and is connected by a grape-shaped tumor.

When Thor tried to cut the tumor with a knife, he was shocked to find that the tumor was actually moving inside.

He put a layer of protection on the laboratory table and then began to cut the tumor, but the sharp knife could not leave any wound on the tumor.

Thor changed two more sharp tools, but still could not cut the tumor.

The old witch stretched out a finger, and the fingertip instantly turned into a blade, “Do you need my help?”

Thor shook his head and said, “It’s not a problem with the tool.”

He snapped his fingers, and a black blade fragment appeared at the fingertips.

With a light stroke of his finger, the tumor that was originally uncut was easily separated from the skin like cheese, revealing the tofu dregs inside.

Thor took out a stirring stick, stirred it inside, and then held it in front of his eyes.

“The substance inside does not seem to be completely inactivated.” Thor wiped the substance on the stirring stick into the test tube and handed it to Agu, “Go and test the basic properties. In addition, pay attention to sealing and don’t let the substance inside leak to the outside world.”

Agu naturally knew where Thor brought this beast back from, and said nothing, just nodded cautiously.

“Do you suspect that this beast is poisonous?” the old witch asked.

Thor said, “This tumor can be the last inactive organ in the beast, so there must be something special about it. It’s always better to be careful.”

Hearing this, the old witch looked at the tumor on the beast with more enthusiasm.

Seeing this, Thor immediately told Agu, “Destroy the sample immediately after the test.”

The old witch rolled her eyes.

Then Thor looked at the remaining stirring stick in his hand and found that there seemed to be some black particles on it.

He extracted these particles and found that these particles would break into smaller powders when touched.

This scene is so familiar.

Thor immediately took out two small bottles from his body.

Both bottles were filled with black powder, one more and one less.

The two bottles were filled with sand from the chaotic domain and floating objects in the air.

Thor used the existing tools to simply test the three powders and found that their physical performance was surprisingly consistent.

“Is this organ of the beast used to filter the black dust entering the body?”

Suddenly, Thor’s thoughts were interrupted by Camus.

She stared at the petri dish on Thor’s desk with wide eyes, “How come there is a dormant form of the pollution source on that beast?”

“What?” Thor and the others turned back at the same time, shocked by the information in Camus’ words.

Camus pursed his lips, with a rare look of confusion on his face, “You can check the pollution sources you sealed with your tentacles. If the sealing time is long enough, the pollution source will enter a dormant state. Then its shape should be consistent with the black powder in your hand.”

Thor: “… Damn!”
