Chapter 743 - Semi-Finished Products (1/2)

Meng Chao did not give up. On a temporary operating table, he carefully observed and analyzed the monsters in the Hidden Mist Domain.

“These monsters… are so deformed!”

The first monster that was placed on the operating table made Meng Chao slightly startled.

The d*mn thing was like a common two-headed blue-striped lizard in the wilderness.

It was a kind of dangerous reptile monster with acid sacs and poisonous glands.

However, on both sides of its body, there were three pairs of serrated limbs that were common to arthropod monsters. They were shining coldly as if they were attached to a large amount of metal.

Although many monsters were like the amalgamation of many kinds of creatures…

The fusion between their limbs and organs was relatively close and harmonious. It was definitely not like this monster… which appeared to be crudely made and pieced together.

The second monster was the same.

Under the giant python’s head and torso, there was a thick and long scorpion tail.

The dark red scorpion tail hook emitted a faint fishy smell. Plus, the entire tail was covered with thick and long steel needles that looked like that of a porcupine.

While increasing its attack power, it also offset the giant python’s original strength and mobility. It appeared to be neither fish nor fowl, and it was extremely uncoordinated.

The third monster had the appearance of a saber-toothed tiger, the body of a bobcat, and the skin color of a black panther.

Its streamlined body, coupled with its muscles that were as explosive as crystal bombs, would have been the most suitable appearance for hunting.

However, a pair of broad wings grew out of its back. It was as if it had been torn off from the back of a falcon-type monster and was forcefully sewn onto its back.

The problem was that the bones of the falcon-type monster were mostly hollow. In order to reduce its weight to the greatest extent, its internal organs had undergone an “ultra-lightweight” upgrade. Only then could it be pulled up by the rising force of the flapping wings.

The bones and internal organs of this small saber-toothed tiger were still in the posture of a land predator.

In order to soar into the air, it needed an even stronger rising force. Its wings had to be extended to more than ten meters wide.

In order to drive these two enormous wings, the muscles from the wing root to the chest were overstuffed and deformed.

Not only did that reduce its concealment and killing speed, but it also greatly increased its daily energy consumption. That meant it needed more food, wasted more time hunting, and consumed more killing energy.

Moreover, in this environment where there were towering trees and obstacles and traps everywhere, it was meaningless for it to grow a pair of wings that covered the sky and the Earth.

The trees would not only prevent it from rising into the air, but also block its sight when it was patrolling in the air. Even if it found its prey and wanted to dive down to kill it, it would be easily blocked by the crown of the tree and the branches. It would then fall to the ground and even be stuck between the branches, bushes as well as thorns.

In conclusion, the small saber-toothed tiger did not need to develop such a pair of wings, and it should not have.

Meng Chao’s hands turned into two clusters of gray mist. He manipulated more than ten lancet blades at the same time to cut open the stomachs of the three monsters and carefully analyzed their organs.

Then, he compared the small saber-toothed tiger with the griffin, a flying lion-type monster that had successfully evolved.

It was discovered that the shape of the organs, the arrangement of the muscles, and even the density of the griffin’s bones were much more scientific than the small saber-toothed tiger’s.

Moreover, griffins were mainly active in the grasslands and would not easily enter the jungle. That was also relatively reasonable.

How to put it? It was like a teacher asking a question: How to combine falcon-type monsters and liger-type monsters organically?

Brainiac’s answer would be, “Griffins.”

However, the homework that Brainiac handed in would be this small saber-toothed tiger.

It was no wonder that the monsters that looked rather ferocious were easily pierced by human firearms. They did not even need to use swords or sabers.

Meng Chao estimated that with the natural defects of these deformed monsters, even if the exploration team did not open fire, they would not be able to survive for long in the swamp area that was covered in lichen and Blood Flowers.

“Interesting.”

They dissected seven or eight monsters consecutively, and it was all the same. Their appearances were deformed and ugly, but the distribution of their contents was pieced together. It was extremely unscientific.

“What do you mean?”

Long Feijun saw the thoughtful expression on Meng Chao’s face, and his interest was piqued.

“Senior Brother Long, don’t you think that these monsters… are too ugly?” Meng Chao asked.

Long Feijun was slightly stunned, and he could not help but laugh. “Monsters are all ugly.”

“No, no, no. That is just the opinion of ordinary people. In the eyes of the reapers, many monsters possess a peculiar beauty that is in the peak of their speed, strength, explosive power, and ultimate survival ability.”

Meng Chao shook his head and said, “When the nine-headed diamond dragon rose up from the depths of the mist and the sunlight passed through its translucent body, blossoming into colorful brilliance, who could deny that it was a magnificent, domineering, and brutal beauty?

“Even the tiny Demonic Halberd Pig, when it smears its entire body with the mud that contains a lot of minerals in the mountains to form a layer of indestructible heavy armor and dashes forward, doesn’t it look like an armored vehicle that could overcome anything?
