Chapter 648 The Value of Dragon Scales
There was a crisp sound of 'bang', and Pan's heavy iron sword stopped only a few centimeters away from the soldier's eyes. The soldier looked at the iron plate and heavy knife in front of him and was stunned for a long time before reacting. He was so frightened that he peed out and collapsed on the ground. However, he jumped up due to the residual heat remaining on the ground, and the blood dripping on the ground was The urine is quickly evaporated by the high temperature, releasing bursts of urinary odor.
General Beihai's sword blocked Pan's heavy iron sword, and he looked directly at Pan who was holding the sword five meters away.
Alice and Hullington were both frightened. They didn't expect that Pan would kill someone if he wanted to, and there was no hesitation at all.
Pan said: "Are you here to snatch the body from me too?"
General Beihai said solemnly: "You can take this dragon corpse away, but don't make trouble here."
"Huh." Pan put the knife back and stopped looking at them.
The bald head angrily led the people to do other things.
Alice happily jumped down from the Dark-Eyed Dragon King's corpse and asked: "Master, what should I do with this dragon corpse?"
Bing Zhixie said: "How can I ask for his things? Me.”
"What does it matter?" Alice quietly looked at Pan's expression, trying to figure out what he meant.
Hughington smiled and said: "No matter whose it is, it must be worth a lot if sold. Its scales are worth a lot of money."
Bingzhixie said: " No, the dragon scale skin on the dead dragon no longer has the effect that normal dragon scales should have."
"Hey, why?" Alice asked in confusion.
Bing Zhixie said to her: "Do you know why real dragon scales are so valuable? There are many dragons killed in the world. Each dragon has hundreds of square meters of dragon scale armor. Then Dragon Armor has long been overrun.”
Hurlington held his chin and said: "That's true, but for what reason? What kind of dragon scale skin is needed to retain the effect of real dragon scales?"
Bingzhixie said: "It must be Skinned alive from a giant dragon, when skinned it was huge The dragon must not die, and the scales cannot contain dragon flesh, because the body of the orthodox dragon has a very special self-protection function. To put it simply, a lot of its power comes from its blood and other organs. tissue, which circulates continuously through the heart The contraction of the ring allows the blood and magic source to release powerful power, but this power is difficult for the dragons themselves to bear. All the dragon's flesh continuously reabsorbs and consumes this power. Once the dragon's heart stops beating, it will lose its strength. The ability to continuously release power comes from It disappeared, and its flesh part was still frantically absorbing the decomposition power, so soon the dragon corpse no longer had the ability it had when it was alive."
"Wow, so that's it. It feels very complicated, but I still understand." Alice said.
Bing Zhixie continued: "The dragon's skin and flesh is divided into six layers: dragon scales, epidermis, blood layer, dermis, isolation layer, and then the dragon's muscles. Generally speaking, Knowledgeable dragon hunters all know that they must peel off the first four layers of tissue of the dragon skin in order to fully retain the power of the dragon scales and isolate it. The dragon meat under the layer must not be peeled off at the same time, so this is why the real dragon scale skin is so precious."
After hearing what Bing Zhixie said, Pan said, "No wonder, I am. It turns out that the dragon scale skin that was peeled off last time cannot maintain the strength that the dragon clan should have."
Hurlington said: "So the corpse of the Dark-Eyed Dragon King is useless?"
Bing Zhixie said: "Even if the scales of the Dark-Eyed Dragon King were peeled off alive, the effect would not be very good." In this way, its magic immunity is very poor, and it can only be immune to very low-level magic, but its corpse is not at all. It's useless. Although the value will be greatly reduced when it dies, it can still be sold for a little money."
Pan said: "Since it's worthless, leave it to me." He put his left arm behind him. Looking sideways, a summoning array was intertwined in front of his palm, and a rather huge purple scorpion crawled out of the light array.
“Ah, what kind of monster is this? What a strange guy.” Alice looked at this big purple scorpion. Counting its open legs, its body was seven or eight meters wide. , more than ten meters long, with a long tail hook swinging, and two large dark purple pincers standing in front of it, which is very scary. It has three pairs of legs, and the joints of each pair of legs have very sharp and long spines. The strangest thing is that it has no head. There is a huge mouth in front of the body, which looks like a large, round, black hole. This big hole is almost as big as its body, like a straight bottle. The hole around the mouth is surrounded by densely packed teeth, which makes one’s scalp explode. There are no eyes on its body. Two rows of curved tooth-like thorns on its pink-purple body extend from the front to the end of the body, and there is a strange small hole in the middle of each four thorns. There are also many hairy teeth growing around the hole, and they are still twisting. Hullington hid far away. No matter how he looked at it, he thought this thing was terrifying.
Alice felt the same way, so she hid behind Bing Zhixie and whispered: "Master, it's so scary. Do you know what kind of scorpion this is?"
Bing Zhixie He looked carefully at the monster in front of him, his mind racing Searching for information about this kind of scorpion, he was suddenly stunned: "This is not a scorpion."
Alice was surprised and said: "Isn't this a scorpion? Master, are you reading that right? This is obviously a scorpion." Scorpion.”
Bing Zhixie looked at Pan and said: "If I remember correctly, the name of this insect is Holy Angel. It is an ancient demon insect that has long been extinct. There is a story about it in the book "City of Winds" Its record, and I also saw its picture in the book , it was described as a very scary monster in "Dodolph's Ghost Travels". "
Pan scratched his head: "So it's called the Holy Angel. I always thought it was a mutated devil. Where is the scorpion?”
Hullington looked at such an ugly guy and couldn't figure out how it could be called a holy angel.
Pan said: "Okay, my Holy Angel, go and enjoy your delicious food."
The Holy Angel climbed onto the body of the Dark-Eyed Dragon King and used its big, hollow mouth to It started biting crazily, making disgusting chewing sounds from time to time.
At this time, the streets had been cleared by hired workers and soldiers. General Beihai looked at the 'Scorpion' eating the dragon corpse for a long time and said: "Okay, things here are over, I should also Go back."
The bald head said: "General, please don't stay in the city for a while. The mayor often tells me that I haven't seen you, an old friend, for a long time."
General Beihai chuckled: "No, I still have a lot of military affairs to deal with. I will come to see him when I have time. Don't forget to tell him to prepare the best wine to entertain me, otherwise I won't come. "
The bald man said with a smile: "I know, I will definitely tell you."
Beihai General looked at Pan again before leaving, jumped on the dragon, and rode on it. Leave the sky above the city.
Bing Zhixie said: "Let's not stand here stupidly. Let's find a place to sit down and chat."
Pan chuckled and said: "I know there is a good bar over there. , just go there.”
Alice said: "What about your guardian?"
Pan said: "Let him have a good meal here. Such a big corpse is enough for him to eat for a while."
The two people on the house who were staring at Bing Zhixie saw them leaving. One of them said, "Let's go and have a look."
The other person said, "Be careful, don't follow too closely."
