Such things are crystallized.
What exactly is this crystal? No one can tell clearly. Anyway, the only things mentioned by previous civilizations are stones, various stones that can occur in animals and people.
Such as gallstones and kidney stones!
crystallization? I don’t know if the relics of that era, which were not faked but were truly natural, count
After all, Tang Ling was not a scientist. Although he was curious and sought knowledge, he did not have the time or environment to study it thoroughly.
It can only be said that crystals are a unique product of this era and usually appear in the myocardium of the heart.
Tang Ling had never actually seen a crystal, but according to the research information, Tang Ling learned that this kind of blood-red crystal with a hint of purple was not as abrupt as a stone embedded in the heart.
It feels more like growing in the heart and connected with the blood of the heart.
The cardiac muscle around the crystal will also change and become tougher. This characteristic becomes more prominent the closer to the crystal.
It feels like the cells of the heart are slowly mutating and finally forming crystals.
And what is the nature of crystallization? Tang Ling didn't know yet, and he didn't know if cells could be observed in it
However, it makes sense for such a change to occur, otherwise the heart made of flesh and blood of previous civilizations would simply not be able to support the strength, speed, etc. of modern people.
At least this is true for humans, at least the stronger the creature, the more likely it is to produce crystals.
As for the insects, Tang Ling thought as he bandaged his wounds simply and quickly, and then smashed the black-winged mantis to death. After all, with his strength, he could still deal with an immobile black-winged mantis with a little effort. Arrived.
Next, it’s time to look for crystals.
Insects do not have a heart like humans, but along the midline of the back, there is an organ called the dorsal blood vessel that is the same up and down. It can be seen as a combination of the heart and blood vessels, similar to the cardiac muscle, which has the function of compressing and beating to transport blood. Muscles are here too.
Tang Ling wanted to find the crystal, so it was impossible not to pay attention to such knowledge.
Without any delay, Tang Ling used the sharpest weapon in his hand and asked Auston to borrow it for a week, and began to simply dissect the black-winged mantis.
When the exposed blood vessels on his back became tougher, Tang Ling's heart beat faster.
He groped for these tenacity points, looking for their center point, but the center point of his heart-filled prayers had already produced a crystallized mutation.
At this time, Tang Ling's movements became extremely slow. It wasn't until an unusual hard feeling appeared in his hand that Tang Ling suddenly stopped and looked at that hard spot almost impatiently.
It's very small, only half the size of a thumb.
It's a strange blood-red color, exuding faint fluorescence, and the texture is very delicate and semi-transparent.
After taking it out and facing the sun, you can see a few very, very small purple threads inside.
Is this crystallization? Is this a crystal worth 50 Hope Points per gram? Holding almost three grams of crystal in his hand, Tang Ling had an unreal feeling. He quickly calculated that even if he kept doing all the tasks he could in the past twenty days, he would not be able to earn 80 hope points. Such a small thing is worth at least 150 hope points
Tang Ling immediately tightened his fingers and held it tightly. It didn't feel like holding a stone at all.
Its warmth and delicateness are as if it is alive, making people love it from the bottom of their hearts and want to own it.
What luck!
You must know that even a third-level mutant beast may not necessarily produce crystals if its entire heart begins to toughen, rather than just a part of it.
And I got it from a third-level mutated insect.
What's more, judging from the grade of this crystal, it should be close to the level of good quality.
However, now is not the time to indulge. Even if this place is close to the edge, it is still in a battlefield, and accidents can happen at any time.
Moreover, this black-winged mantis is considered to be the most valuable insect among the third-level mutated insects.
Its forelimbs and wings are all items within the range that Hope Barrier will acquire using Hope Points.
Its meat content is definitely not too much, and it falls into the range that Hope Barrier will purchase.
Obviously he can't deal with the body of the black-winged mantis here. If he is unlucky and encounters an accident, he will obviously not be able to maintain the best fighting condition if he is injured.
Besides, no one who appears on the battlefield is weak.
After collecting the crystals, Tang Ling couldn't think of a better way, so he simply picked up the body of the praying mantis and ran towards the wild forest quickly.
The black-winged mantis weighs about 100 kilograms, but it has lost so much blood and has become weightless. Coupled with Tang Ling's strength, this weight is nothing.
**
The place that Tang Ling recognized as the 'eating place' was obviously the best place to dispose of the black-winged mantis corpse.
And it's close to the battlefield.
The god of luck favored Tang Ling this time. Running at full speed and grabbing the tactical backpack hidden in the tree, Tang Ling successfully reached the 'eating place' in only about five minutes.
There are no risks along the way.
But dissection is a troublesome thing. There are many hard places on the Black Winged Mantis' body. Fortunately, he has Auston's precious military spurs. Otherwise, Tang Ling would have spent a lot of time using his own stainless steel dagger.
Even so, this mantis was dismembered very roughly, but the important piece of hard armor on the chest, the forelimbs whose flesh was cleverly hollowed out, as well as the wings and several legs, Tang Ling did not have any of them. miss.
Tang Ling tried his best to put everything in the elastic tactical backpack, but his huge forelimbs and wings could only be hung on the hooks of the backpack, which was a helpless choice.
But fortunately, it was rare to meet people in the northern forest. Tang Ling didn't believe that he would still encounter robbers.
As for the meat, after Tang Ling cleaned it, he grilled it all and ate it.
After the battle, the food itself needs to be replenished. Even if it exceeds the current needs of the body, using the eating method taught by Su Yao, it can be quickly digested and decomposed into energy and stored in the body.
Patting his belly with satisfaction, Tang Ling felt the power of the third-level mutated insect's flesh. Although the dozens of kilograms of body had been cleaned out, there was only less than five kilograms of meat.
But with these five kilograms of meat, he would at least not have to worry about hunger for two days. He could also have time to do some tasks and accumulate some hope points.
The point is, meat of this quality improves the body more than the meat of a king beast.
Becoming stronger starts with eating! Start by knowing how to eat.
Satisfied, Tang Ling took the harvest with him and endured exhaustion. He decided to hide the harvest in his 'secret base' there and then return to the Barrier of Hope.
A rich harvest might give him the luxury of a few hours' sleep tonight.
However, the time on the road must not be wasted. The gains and losses of this battle must be summarized as soon as possible!
