Chapter 514: The Alien Body from the Abyss (Part )
“So, this stone may contain a child from the past who is in a state of being possessed by a martial spirit?” Tang San guessed.
Why do you guess it's a child?
Because the stone is not high, only about meters, and considering the thickness of the stone coating on the outside, the actual height may be lower, between 1 meter and meters.
"I think it's also possible that it's a human whose martial soul mutates so that his body remains in its beastly state, similar to Catwoman; or it could be a strange species like the Wolf Thief." Zhou Qing offered two other possibilities.
"It could also be a mutant."
Ning Rongrong proposed another possibility.
"Alienated body?" Zhou Qing was puzzled.
"When rising from the Abyss Ruins, one will be cursed and the body will be affected. The lower one goes, the greater the impact. If one can withstand it, the body will mutate and become similar to a soul beast. But generally speaking, such people will lose some of their memories and their appearance will change drastically. They may not even be recognizable as human beings. Even their temperament will change."
Ning Rongrong explained the concept of "alienated body".
"It is said that mutants are not affected by the curse, while others say they are. I am not sure... However, after some people endured the curse, their physical appearance changed drastically, but they were much more harmonious than mutants. They were said to be very cute and extremely powerful. There are even rumors that an ordinary person looked extraordinarily cute and harmless after being mutant, but when he got angry, his strength was directly comparable to that of a Soul Douluo, and he was even able to kill a Titled Douluo who was unable to use his soul skills after entering the Abyss Ruins."
"Moreover, this type of mutant is not affected by the curse. It's just that after leaving the ruins, their strength will be weakened, but they can still practice like soul beasts... Based on this, many soul masters in the Spirit Hall speculate that creatures like wolf thieves come from the abyss: although wolf thieves can combine with humans to give birth to wolf thieves, they should originally be creatures that were transformed from humans in the abyss ruins, rather than the product of the combination of wolf soul beasts and humans from the beginning."
"After all, the Spirit Hall once destroyed a group of fallen people. The fallen people in that group were conducting experiments on combining the blood of humans and soul beasts... The details are unknown, but the result is that, let alone humans and soul beasts, even soul beasts cannot give birth to offspring as long as they are of different races, unless the soul beast has the blood of the dragon clan."
Hearing this, Zhou Qing once again realized how low the bottom line of the Fallen was, but he also understood how much basic theory this group of abnormal beings had provided for the theoretical knowledge of soul power cultivation in the soul master world.
And now, this piece of stone that looks like a human and a fox is most likely an alien creature.
“By the way, mutants are also living things, right?” Tang San suspected that even if the one sealed in the stone was really a mutant, it would have turned into a skeleton long ago without contact with the air.
"Yes."
Ning Rongrong confirmed Tang San's guess. In the past, the mutated bodies carved out of stones were either left with only a skeleton embedded in the stone with the texture of muscles and blood vessels, or the entire body was petrified and turned into a sculpture.
In short, the only ingredients left are common substances, which at most have artistic value.
As the stone was cut bit by bit, water splashed and stone chips flew, a ball of brown and white hair emerged.
"Something has appeared!"
"It looks like some kind of animal hair?"
“It could be the hair too!”
Many onlookers started talking about it, and some even speculated that this was a corpse that had just turned into stone!
Some of the people present also knew about the situation of the abyss ruins. This other stone, the outer layer of stone coating, was mainly made of a peculiar clay in the ruins. Under the action of special pressure and temperature, it would turn into stone.
Therefore, some of these stones are not natural, but man-made!
But now the girl is unlucky, and it is very likely that she has chosen a piece of stone used to store corpses!
Seeing that there was something inside, the workers who were cutting the stone became more cautious. When the outer layer of the stone was peeled off, a complete "corpse" was revealed.
The height of this "corpse" was just as Tang San had imagined, only meters, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. It had a pair of large furry ears on its head, which were integrated into its hair, and there were three red crystals on the ends of its hair.
Its skin is brown-black, its lower body is round, and its feet are more like cow hooves than canines. Behind it, there are five round, fluffy gray-white tails, combing like a peacock's tail.
What is even more surprising is that the corpse actually has four arms, and the forearms and hands are covered with gray-white round hair. Each hand has three red claws, similar to crystals, which are consistent with the three red crystal decorations on the ends of its hair.
"What kind of strange creature is this?"
Some people couldn't help but marvel.
Although this "corpse" looks strange, it has an alternative harmonious beauty, especially the face of this "corpse" is extremely round and cute.
At one time, many customers wanted to buy this "corpse".
For nobles with special hobbies, the corpse would be made into a specimen and stored in the basement for careful viewing.
"This is definitely an alien!"
Ning Rongrong said quietly and affirmatively, "But he should be dead. I just don't know if we can dig out his soul bones."
"Can this thing also explode soul bones?" Zhou Qing was surprised, thinking of the wolf bandit leader in the original novel who exploded a soul bone - he originally thought that the wolf bandit leader killed a soul master, or accidentally obtained soul bones when hunting soul beasts, but he didn't expect that the mutant itself would explode soul bones.
But he changed his mind and figured it out.
The mutants can no longer be considered human beings, and the rule of Douluo Continent is that when a non-human extraordinary creature dies, soul rings and soul bones will appear.
As for why the wolf thief in the original novel did not have a soul ring after his death...
Perhaps it was because this creature, which looked like both a human and a wolf, made it difficult for the rules of Douluo Continent to determine which category it belonged to, so -
Half and half?
"Yes, the mutants will explode their soul bones. It is said that the chance is even smaller than that of soul beasts. However, it is not that the soul master has soul bones before the alienation, but after the alienation, when he dies, he will produce soul bones. And the chance will only increase after he dies after leaving the Abyss Ruins. If you kill the mutant in the ruins, you will only get a ball of flesh and blood."
Ning Rongrong's explanation confirmed Zhou Qing's previous guess.
When looking at the corpse of the mutant again, Zhou Qing quietly activated the Xiantian Neijing Diagram, improving his energy and spirit to sense the specific situation of the four-armed mutant.
To be honest, the corpse of such a strange creature is comparable to that of Hu Fangyuan and has great research value.
If possible, he wanted to buy it from the girl.
Research···
It is much more valuable than being bought by some nobles with special quirks here to play with!
