"Very good, the Deep Sea Turtle relies on the spiritual energy with tiny fluctuations to send out telepathy. Although this energy is difficult to track, it is not difficult for the tower mage. Everything can be traced."

Master Lemmon's eyes met with Adanawados and Rexall one after another, and finally fell on Hillenburg and said:

"The Church of the Strange Demon wants to make the turtle cubs so fragile that the slightest fluctuation will disappear. It is very likely that they know that the fluctuations in spiritual energy will eventually be discovered by our tower mages and track the whereabouts of the energy.

"So, Professor Hillenberg, now that we have determined that psychic energy is related to the telepathy of deep-sea turtles, can the remaining strange egg..."

Lemon used special means to communicate with Hillenburg for a minute without making a sound.

Xia Zuo saw a trace of regret on the face of his research team leader, and then regained his composure.

Judging from Lemon's words, she was probably persuading Hillenburg to give up her research authority on the monster eggs and transfer the remaining monster eggs, which were intact and had their toxins removed, to the tower mage to improve their abilities. Tolerance for tracking psychic energy.

"Master Lemon, I have to discuss this with Master Adanawados. After all, the work of removing toxins is completed by him and his students." Hillenburg pushed up his glasses frame and said.

"That's natural. We can discuss the specific matters regarding the transfer of experimental samples later." Master Lemon seemed to have a winning chance.

"Master, please take a step to speak." Hillenberg invited Adanawados to walk to the corner of the alchemy room, waving his hand and setting up a barrier around him to isolate sight and sound.

Will the team leader give away the experimental samples?

Xia Zuo instinctively thought not.

Hillenburg is so persistent in marine ecology, it is difficult for the Tower Master to come up with chips that match his determination to take away the perfect experimental samples.

Moreover, Hillenberg had dealt with deep-sea turtles a year ago, and in the end he only got a mutilated turtle carcass. He couldn't even make a complete anatomical diagram, and there must be some internal connections left.

Now that there is such a good research opportunity in front of us, how could we let it go?

If it were Xia Zuo, he wouldn't be willing...unless the other party gave too much...

In the corner where the light and shadow were blurred and unable to be seen, the figure of Adana Doss walked out alone, with nothing behind him, and Hillenburg stayed where he was.

"Master Lemon, I have discussed it with Hillenberg. I'm afraid we can't transfer the remaining monster eggs to you." Adanawados crossed his hands in front of him and looked at the frowning Raiman calmly. Meng said:

"I do have a suggestion.

"Our alchemy school wants to entrust the tower mage to help us seal the turtle cubs.

"We only ask for a complete cub carcass, not a living cub.

"As a sign of sincerity for cooperation, the Alchemy School is willing to share some of its research results with the Tower Master. What do you think?"

Master Lemon did not bother with why the other party was unwilling to transfer the monster eggs. After thinking for a few seconds, she nodded and said:

“Well, cooperation has to continue, right?

"I will ask the tower mage to arrange the diffraction array for you, and connect the solidification ray array in series, and then use the entire energy detection array to confirm that your turtle cub also has traces of spiritual energy. .

"But that's all. You have to find the container to hold the turtle corpse yourself.

"Also, the research results shared must contain at least one core content. Don't fool us with just scraps. I believe your alchemy school is not stingy to this extent."

"Easy to say, easy to say." Adanawados chuckled kindly, walked towards his students, called Xia Zuo out, and warned:

"Later, after the tower mage seals the turtle corpse, I will let other students extract some materials to decipher part of the physiological structure of the turtle cub.

"You and Hillenberger will study the remaining materials together. Remember to keep it confidential. Your research results may be very important. Everything will be subject to Hillenberger's arrangements. Do you understand?"

"Okay, mentor, I've written it down." Xia Zuo nodded in response.

"Go and find your team leader. He has something to tell you." Adanawados waved his hand.

Xia Zuo walked into the corner where the anti-peep barrier was arranged.

Hillenburg heard the conversation between the two masters of the school. With a slight smile on his face, he held a locked notepad, turned to the page of the incomplete Deep Sea Turtle Revealed Picture, and said:

“Look, here, here, and here, there are defects in these core parts.

"I have long wanted to make up for the missing parts, and now I finally have the opportunity."

Hillenburg took a deep breath to calm down his excitement.

Xia Zuo has long understood his state of mind. Almost every alchemist who has delved deeply into a certain field will have the psychological process of "the problem is finally solved."

Hillenberg regained his composure, rubbed his brow, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously:

"I have an intuition that Master Lemon's inference may be wrong."

"Uh...what do you mean?" Xia Zuo didn't understand what the other party wanted to say for a while.

"I mean..." Hillenburg looked at Master Lemon, who was directing the tower wizard to arrange the energy tracking array, "I mean, the deep sea turtle probably does not rely on psychic energy to achieve telepathy."

Hillenburg patted his notepad and said firmly, "I still believe that the deep-sea turtle's telepathy comes from the monster's unique mutant organs. It is these organs that realize the spiritual connection between the young and the mother."

Xia Zuo scratched his head, "Then...why do turtle cubs experience fluctuations in spiritual energy when they telepathically communicate with their mother?"

This question of his is also the most confusing and confusing part of Hillenberg...

"I don't know." Hillenburg frowned, stared at the anatomy diagram on the notepad, and said as if muttering to himself:

“This is illogical and inconsistent with my research experience over the past decades.

"I have been under the surface of the Mediterranean Sea for a long time, and I have encountered many sea monsters. Most of them only have water affinity, and a few have earth affinity.

“The magic energy they can use is mainly water energy and earth energy.

"But psychic energy... To be honest, this is the first time I have seen a monster that can use psychic energy.

"If this is true, then we are witnessing history, because the source of spiritual energy is the spiritual body. The deep sea turtle can cast spiritual energy, which means that it has a spiritual body, and it also knows how to use the spiritual body...

"It is unimaginable that if this news is confirmed, what kind of hunting operation will be set off in the aphotic zone of the Mediterranean... By then, the temple will definitely use all its strength to capture the deep-sea turtle..."

Hillenburg took another deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and closed the notepad in his hand. "Forget it for now, let's first conduct a complete study of the physiological structure of the deep-sea turtle."

He pointed to the two observation seats and an alchemy platform placed against the wall in the alchemy room. "You go and push the three alchemy equipment over. I will expand the barrier. Our research process needs to be kept secret at all times. We can't do it for the time being." I have already discussed this with Master Adanawados about making it public to other alchemists and tower mages."

"Okay, team leader, I'll go right away."

Xia Zuo walked out of the barrier, reached out to touch the base of the observation seat, unlocked the hidden buckle at the fixed position, and spent a lot of effort to arrange the experimental site. Hillenberg's anti-peep barrier expanded several times, covering the vicinity of the two people. space to accommodate it.

Master Lemmon, who was commanding the Tower Wizards, looked at Hillenburg's actions and shook his head slightly, seeming to lament that the Alchemy School was too cautious... The Tower Wizards were actually not very interested in their secret research, no matter what alchemy was. Difficult, but not more profound than magic

After Master Lemon helped seal the turtle cub, Adanawados personally dissected the only experimental sample in Hillenberg's barrier.

He handed over to his students the part of the material that Hillenburg had already studied, and kept the part that Hillenburg had not been able to study due to incomplete samples many years ago.

Then, Adanawados clasped his hands, and the old god wandered around the alchemy room, giving instructions to his students, or observing the tower mage operating the magic circle, or chatting with Master Lemon.

The two masters of the school with the highest qualifications and prominent status became the only idlers in the room...

oh! No no no!

There is someone more laid back than these two masters.

That is the bald Rexor.

As the only member of the Demon Hunting School present, he does not need to set up a magic circle or sit on an observation seat to observe sample materials. He only needs to hold his arms and coldly look at the confrontation between the Alchemy School and the Tower Mage...

Xia Zuo's eyes passed through the anti-peep barrier and stared at the bald man for a while, feeling a little curious about how the Demon Hunting School could achieve such a relatively transcendent status...

Under Xia Zuo's gaze, Rexall slapped his head as if he remembered something. He walked near the privacy barrier and said, "Hillenberg, I have something to tell you."

After hearing the sound, Hillenburg stuck his head out of the barrier and said, "Come in, Rexor, I'm about to invite you to study the experimental samples together."

He called Rexall and Xia Zuo to come to him, pointed to the three materials on the sample rack and said:

"As you two can see, these three materials are the parts of the body that I was unable to study due to the mutilation of the turtle corpse many years ago."

Rexor's pupils suddenly shrank, and cyan blood vessels faintly appeared on his face. This was an external manifestation of him activating the detection method of the Demon Hunting School, "Well... let me see... these three materials are extraordinary, they are all Products of mutation.”

Rexor turned to look outside the privacy barrier, his eyes quickly scanning the alchemists' sample racks, "But the other materials are just ordinary flesh and blood tissue."

"It's a coincidence, right? Why did the mutilated parts of the turtle corpse happen to be the mutation parts, while the remaining parts were all mortal objects?" Hillenburg said:

"There must be some kind of secret that we don't know about. It's definitely not a coincidence."

Hillenberg looked at Xia Zuo, pointed at the first material and said, "Come and study this deeply mutated gallbladder. Be careful that the bile inside may have strong acid-etching properties."

"Yes, team leader." Xia Zuo picked up the sample with both hands, fixed it on the sample holder of the observation seat, adjusted the magnification of the lens, and tried to further dissect the mutant gallbladder with an acid-resistant millimeter knife and needle.

During this process, he maintains toxin sensing in order to detect possible toxins in time.

But until he cut open the entire mutant gallbladder to reveal the furry light blue inner wall and collected the light blue bile, no trace of the toxin was found.

How to distinguish between mutants and ordinary things?

This is biological knowledge and needs to be judged based on organ function.

Take the gallbladder, for example.

The bile in the gallbladder is not produced by the gallbladder. The gallbladder is just an organ that stores bile. It absorbs water in the bile and concentrates the bile several times, thereby reducing the space required to store bile.

Under normal circumstances, the liver should secrete bile, and the bile should be green.

When the gallbladder stores bile, it does not change the color of the bile, it only makes the green bile greener, turning into dark green.

But the bile in the gallbladder of young turtles is light blue.

There are two possibilities:

The first possibility is that the bile secreted by the liver of young turtles is originally dark blue.

This reason is untenable. Because outside the privacy barrier, the alchemist responsible for dissecting the liver has determined that the bile secreted by the liver is green.

Then there is only the second possibility. The gall bladder of the turtle cub is a mutant. It not only has the function of storing bile, it can also process, refine or transform the bile secreted by the liver.

The color of bile changes from green to light blue. What does this mutation mean?

This is also the knowledge of biological material science.

When Xia Zuo was studying these contents on his own, he made a numerical summary of them.

Depending on the direction of mutation, mutants generally show three colors:

The first is a very bright red that, if viewed under sunlight, will resemble a fresh pink.

Mutants of this color will make the host more powerful, more determined, less susceptible to pain, and increase the strength and will attributes.

The second is a light green mutant mixed with very tiny black spots.

Mutants of this color are linked to agility and endurance, but are more closely related to agility. The increase in endurance attribute value is generally only about half of the agility attribute value.

The third type is a light blue mutant that improves the host's spellcasting ability.

Note that the spellcasting ability here has nothing to do with mental attributes, it simply allows the host to cast the learned spells faster and more accurately.

Specifically, monsters with light blue mutations can enter the shallow meditation state more easily and are less likely to passively leave the shallow meditation state. At the same time, their control over their own energy consumption will also be improved.

Mutants of three colors will bring certain characteristics when improving the corresponding attribute values.

In the field of bioalchemy, this kind of characteristics obtained by mutated organs or mutated tissues is called special functions.

The mutation direction of the deep-sea turtle is exactly the light blue mutation.

Considering the telepathy between young and mother, it makes sense that the deep-sea turtle would have a light blue mutation.

This mutation is suitable for enhancing the speed of telepathy to ensure that the cubs can send emergencies at the entrance of the nest to their mother before they die.

Xia Zuo looked at Hillenberg who was studying the other two materials. He was very proficient in the operation. He had already studied the first material and was dissecting the second material.

Xia Zuo spent some time writing a standardized research report, and then watched Hillenberg's operations with Rexall.

The first experimental sample Hillenberg identified was the lungs of a young turtle.

Judging from the appearance, color and structure of the completely cut and flattened lungs, these pink lungs strengthen the power and will attributes of the turtle cub.

Xia Zuo felt that the will attribute should be strengthened more.

The reason is that if the will attribute is insufficient, it will be difficult for the cub to calm down and enter a shallow meditative state when facing fear, and sound a mental alarm in a short period of time.

Moreover, the will attribute can also make the cubs more courageous, reduce the disturbance caused by the normal flow of sea water, and increase the threshold for the cubs to issue alarms. Do not issue alarms at the slightest change, but only when they are truly facing life. Connect with the mother soul in times of danger.

The second experimental sample that Hillenburg was responsible for...

Um…

At first glance, it looks like a piece of slimy minced meat. If you look closely, you can see the intestines, mucosa, and a small bulge-like stomach pouch. It should be a kind of digestion in which the large intestine, small intestine and stomach are combined. Systemic mutation organization.

Xia Zuo looked at the mass of mutant tissue that was being cut open by Hillenburg, recalled the basic knowledge about turtles in bioalchemy, and compared it with the anatomical diagram on Hillenburg's notepad. , immediately nodded in enlightenment.

Hillenburg, who was dissecting experimental samples, noticed Xia Zuo's movements and expressions. He temporarily put down the scalpel in his hand, pushed up his glasses with the back of his clean hand and said:

"You discovered it too, right? Xia Zuo.

"This kind of baby turtle sealed in a strange egg is much smaller than the baby turtle I studied many years ago, all because it does not have a complete digestive system that normal turtles have.

"Its intestines and stomach were greatly simplified by an unknown evil alchemist using flesh and blood alchemy, and transformed into the mutant tissue that now has both gastrointestinal functions."

Rexor crossed his arms and rubbed his chin with his right hand and asked:

"Hellenberg, can you identify the characteristics of this mutated gastrointestinal tissue?"

"Of course." Hillenburg nodded and said:

“Even without doing further research, I have some assumptions.

"Among marine monsters, it is relatively common for the gastrointestinal tissue and gallbladder to appear light blue mutations at the same time."
