Infernal Artist

The 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?" Monkey asked.

"Sorry, can't."

Liu Ping patted it on the shoulder and said, "Just stay here with peace of mind. I guarantee that it is safe here and there will be no danger."

"and you--"

"I just need such a quiet environment, so I ask you to stay here for a while."

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

Halfway through, he suddenly turned back and said:

"By the way, if you eat my meal, please pay me 10 billion gold coins."

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

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

Lines of burning small characters appeared quickly:

"The Flame Monkey has not paid the reward for the current Holy Communion and has entered a weak state."

The next moment.

The monkey, like the paper man, slipped off the seat and lay on the ground, falling into a coma.

——Having been drained of his soul power, now he has entered a weak state again. This monkey really can't hold on any longer.

"Are you going to kill it?" Andrea asked.

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

He stood far away, stretched out his hand and pulled out a booklet.

——"Anatomy and Transformation Manual (All Living Beings Edition)"

After getting this book, I should have studied it as soon as possible in order to master the body structure of the dragon and replace the dragon spine for Andrea as soon as possible.

But I never got around to it.

now.

In this battle to ascend to the gods, time is frozen in this moment.

As long as the monkeys don't threaten you, you will be safe here. You don't have to think about any other issues. You can calm down and study this book.

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

A perfect halo of light erupted from the booklet, enveloping Liu Ping.

In a daze, the surrounding scenery changed.

The 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 composed of towering cylinders.

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

Looking around, the entire world is a dark black cylinder.

Nothing else.

A majestic and solemn voice sounded:

"If you want to dissect dragons, you must possess many advanced anatomy techniques and have extensive knowledge of species structure."

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

"After all the anatomy demonstrations are completed, you must immediately get on the dissecting table and perform an autopsy on this dragon."

"If your dissection fails..."

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

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

"If you are determined to learn, then this dissection will begin immediately."

"But if you give up -"

"This "Manual of Anatomy and Transformation (All Living Beings Edition)" will disappear from your hands and will never be yours again."

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

"you sure?"

"Sure."

All the surrounding cylinders disappeared.

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

A black figure quietly appeared.

I couldn't see his appearance clearly, I could only see that he was holding a half-arm-long dagger in his hand.

The man stared at Liu Ping and said softly:

"If you don't learn it, you'll be 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 ice turned into flowing blood and drained out of the cylinder.

The corpse of the dragon appeared in front of the two people.

"It's about to begin."

The black figure said.

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

The black figure saw this and nodded silently.

He turned around and faced the dragon corpse and said: "The dragon race is different from other races. Their most important part is not the heart or the brain. As for the blood vessels, muscles and skin, they only play a role in transmitting various magic powers. In fact, The truly most important power center of the Dragon Clan is the skeleton.”

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 steps move casually, which is better than taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard.

A moment.

The side of the dragon corpse was cut open.

A long dragon's spine appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes.

"Look, this is the dragon's spine. If you observe it with the naked eye, you can't tell anything. But if we chant the dragon's spell -"

The black figure spit out an obscure spell.

Densely dense natural runes suddenly appeared on the snow-white dragon spine, emitting waves of rhythmic chirping sounds.

"How beautiful, like a work of art."

The black figure said in an intoxicated tone.

Liu Ping stepped forward to take a closer look and said casually: "So the power of the dragon actually comes from the bones of the whole body, and the dragon's spine is the center of power, is that right?"

"That's right."

"Then if the Dragon Spine is replaced -"

"The dragon is useless. Whether alive or dead, it will be in its infancy forever and 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 based on the natural dragon patterns in the bones, which are all gathered in the mouth and nasal cavity, and are released with sound to form a dragon curse."

"According to their natural type, they can breathe fire and ice, or control other elements. This depends on their blood and tongue. Look, this dragon's blood is purple, so it is better at controlling space magic. .”

Liu Ping remembered something and asked quickly: "Is there a dragon that is good at controlling poison?"

"Poison? No, unless it was poisoned when it was born, and then gradually became immune, it would be possible to control the poison element." The black figure said.

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

"Yes." The black figure said.

Liu Ping fell into deep thought.

Andrea's blood is very poisonous.

Not only had her spine been replaced, but she was poisoned at birth and arrived in Evernight.

——Who on earth would treat a baby so cruelly?

Suddenly, the voice of a black figure interrupted Liu Ping's thoughts:

"Okay, let's take a look at the dragon's heart next."

"Pay attention, its heart is very powerful. You can't inspire even a little bit of power when dissecting, otherwise its heart will sense it immediately and spray blood everywhere."

Liu Ping said: "I understand... the structure of this heart is really precise..."

The black figure suddenly said: "Do you like this kind of heart?"

- He seemed very interested in it.

At this time, others might have followed his words, but Liu Ping had his own ideas.

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

"Why?" the black figure asked.

"My personal preference is that a heart like this is actually more valuable for research and worth collecting - this is my personal opinion." Liu Ping said.

The black figure glanced at him.

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

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

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

"I personally prefer the nervous system - the nervous systems of many species are different, and you can feel how they live through their nerves," said Liu Ping.

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

"If we don't talk about dragons, I think bones are used for positioning - locating various organs so that we can find them easily. It is a natural memorandum." Liu Ping said.

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

"Please be careful, your knife seemed a little crooked just now." Liu Ping said.

"...I just want to talk to you. Okay, let's start over." The black figure said.

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

The black figure's knife paused and said: "Unified format, numbered records, what about you?"

"That's not what I do. I draw pictures." Liu Ping said.

"Draw a picture?" the black figure said.

"Yes, drawing diagrams of bones, internal organs, nerves - everything is represented by pictures, but the first picture is a diagram of the external characteristics of the species, so I don't have to remember the number, and I can tell which dissection it is by just looking at the cover ." Liu Ping said.

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

He raised the knife, thought about it, put it down again, and said:

"Although your level is so low, I can feel that you are on the same level as me. How about we stop for a moment and talk about our dissection experience?"

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

The black figure waved.

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

"Please sit down, what would you like to drink?" the black figure said.

"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, what 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 world of cultivation during my dissection, and I have some experience."

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

"That's what I wish for," Liu Ping said happily.
