Chapter 950: Dissecting the Deep One Together

Wu Ya looked at the black surface of the alveoli, covered by its fascia and dense, mold-like things. The indescribable feeling in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

Touching it lightly with her hand, the alveoli were filled with seawater, trembling slightly as if rising and falling rhythmically!

In a trance, the black left and right lungs seemed to split into countless bloody mouths, just like fish gills. The dense alveoli on the surface seemed to turn into countless gill filaments on the outer layer of the fish gills, covered with fish-egg-like alveoli.

The outer layer was dark red to black, and the further inside, the brighter red it was...

The split lungs were like countless gill plates opening and closing, driving the lungs to rise and fall slightly, spitting out bloody water.

"Lung deformity!"

Shilin's voice made Wu Ya withdraw her gaze, and the illusion before her eyes disappeared instantly.

"According to anatomical experience, the left and right lungs should have a five-lobe, three-fissure morphology, and healthy lungs should present a pink color, but..."

Shilin couldn't help but frown: "The lungs of this corpse are abnormally swollen, the differentiation of the lung lobes is also extremely unclear, covered with abnormal tissues on the outside, and the alveoli are filled with liquid."

She held the right lung with her hand: "Slightly feels like a sponge filled with water."

A foreigner beside him suddenly asked in Camelot language: "The pleural effusion is abnormal! And when you cut the skin, the morphology of the superficial fascia and fat is abnormal. The superficial fascia under human skin should be an extremely thin layer to facilitate the movement of the skin, but here, it is like a powerful tendon!"

"His fat is dense, acting as part of the superficial fascia, just like soft armor!"

"This is a bit like our dissection of some Eastern martial artists. Their subcutaneous fascia is alienated, with folds and twists, which means they can disperse the force applied to the skin onto the muscles."

"And the fascia alienation of this corpse is more obvious. Such a strong superficial fascia tissue means his skin can move limitedly."

"Move?" Shilin repeated, and then asked solemnly: "Are you sure it's movement, not activity?"

"I'm sure!" The foreigner nodded slightly: "This is a bit like the dissection of an 'Alien God' relic worshipped by the natives on Clodo Island, and a bit like our dissection of a martial arts master from 'Shaolin' in the Eastern Continent."

"When that master was alive, the fascia force tightened his alienated golden skin. Even if soldiers' bullets hit it, they could only make small pits."

"He broke into a warship and seriously injured more than a hundred elite soldiers. If it weren't for his religious belief not allowing him to kill, that warship might not have had a single person left alive!"

"Goodman was just a mixed-race born in the New World, and his father was also a lowly sailor, while his mother was an indigenous prostitute. He had no extraordinary bloodline, let alone contact with the inheritance of extraordinary power."

Kadoorie took over the conversation and said solemnly: "Except for that thing!"

"The North Star was transporting Specimen No. 1 dedicated to the Eastern Emperor. We suspected that Goodman's death might be related to the Specimen No. 1 he came into contact with!"

"The bell sound that day seemed to stimulate Specimen No. 1. That night, Goodman died strangely! If Specimen No. 1 really caused Goodman's skin and lung deformity in a short time, giving him extraordinary power, should we still send Specimen No. 1 to the Imperial Palace in the East?"

Drummond interrupted him: "We don't have the power to decide this. The Great Council has already decided to send it to the East in exchange for our seven concessions in the south."

"Wanting to violate the agreement, unless the Great Council makes a decision again, but according to convention, such a decision takes at least three months. According to the schedule, Specimen No. 1 is already in the Imperial Palace of the Eastern Emperor!"

Shilin stared at the lungs already covered by black fascia, frowned and said: "I feel that skin alienation is just a relatively minor deformity."

"And the lungs... the organ morphology of the lungs has undergone thorough pathological changes. The deep fascia on the surface of the alveoli seems to have penetrated into it, just like..."

Her gaze shifted to the diaphragm below the lungs.

The diaphragm itself is composed of muscles and intermittently covered fascia. The muscle body merges with the muscle fascia on the thoracic rib fascia, finally covering the upper part of the entire diaphragm.

The lower part of the diaphragm is covered by the transverse fascia, which is a continuation of the thoracic fascia.

Now, the tissue cannot be seen there, as if it spread upward, covering the entire lung, and even penetrating into it.

"Heaven!" Shilin's hands trembled slightly, peeling off the fascia on the surface of the lungs.

"It is not dominated by the contraction and release of the diaphragm for breathing, but the lung itself can move. The fascia tissue divides the lungs into many 'lobes' inward, just like... fish gills. The right lung of a normal human body has at most three lung lobes. But this alienated lung has more than ten lung lobes! According to the morphology of the fascia tissue, I suspect its lungs can open, just like fish gills, more than ten lung lobes opening!"

"This means its breathing ability is very amazing. Its alveoli may be able to expand to an amazing degree. The opened lung lobes provide space for the expansion of the alveoli. When it breathes, its chest can expand like a frog!"

Shilin quickly cut to the ribs, and under the deep frown of the Three Emperors Society, she sawed off the ribs.

"Its ribs are like a snake!"

"Can open to a great extent..."

"What is the significance of this alienation?" Kadoorie frowned: "Abandoning the protection of the ribs and exposing the fragile lungs in exchange for the maximum degree of breathing?"

"No, its lungs are not fragile!"

Shilin retorted: "It is covered with fascia, and the alveoli are like rubber. If expanded, this structure can withstand great damage and blows. And the expanded lungs allow it to stay in the water for several hours like a whale. According to its body size, I suspect it can even deep-dive in the deep sea for several days without breathing."

"This kind of gill-like lung morphology, I even suspect it can breathe in water!"

"And such lungs can regulate the pressure in the body... this, this morphology is naturally for the deep sea. Goodman alienated into a Deep One!"

Dr. Hua of the Three Emperors Society looked at the completely outward-opening ribs, his expression also turned pale, and he muttered: "Profound Dark Snake Bones!"

The "Dragon King Competitor" beside him inserted a needle into the corpse's Tanzhong acupoint, piercing into the 4th intercostal space, sinking into the lungs.

At this moment, the curled-up lung lobes suddenly opened completely, just like fish gills with gill openings wide open. Black stagnant liquid flowed out from the alveoli, and calcified tissues were reticulated, hanging on the alveoli, wrapping the fascia, and bronchial tubes penetrated into them.

Before everyone, the lungs of the corpse were like countless mouths split open...

"Father of Lamps!" Kadoorie muttered in a low voice: "I saw the corpse of a living demon."

"Lungs belong to gold, gold generates water, this is the Gui Water True Lung, hundred-leaf canopy, expanding and contracting freely." Dr. Hua said solemnly: "Bring the True Form Diagram of the Five Viscera!"

An apprentice trotted over and handed over a scroll. Dr. Hua spread it out. There was also a pair of lungs drawn there, but they were three lobes on the left and right, overlapping like a canopy, shaped like a turtle head, seemingly breathing and rising and falling.

"Demon... such alienation, it must be a demon!" Dr. Huo also said solemnly.

"The lungs are the root of qi, dominating rising and falling. Rising and spreading means spreading to the outer periphery, while inward and downward means clearing and passing down. Lung qi rises, one can exhale turbid qi, two can transport the body fluids and some water-grain essence transported by the spleen to the head and face orifices, and three can spread defensive qi to the skin, hair, and muscles, to warm the muscles, fill the skin, and nourish the interstices, controlling opening and closing."

"Therefore, lung qi rises and spreads fully."

"Lung qi downward means inhaling clear qi, and spreading the ancestral qi formed by the fusion of inhaled clear qi and grain qi downward to below the navel, to nourish the original qi. Second, it spreads the body fluids and some water-grain essence transported by the spleen to the lungs downward and inward to other viscera to moisten them; third, it transports the turbid fluids produced after visceral metabolism downward to the kidneys or bladder, becoming the source of urine generation."

"Therefore, the True Form Diagram of the Lung Viscera attaches the most importance to grasping various qi. One is camp-defense qi, two is water-grain qi, and three is essence-original qi."

"The True Form Diagram contains the secret treasures of the lungs, like a canopy, protecting the five viscera, hiding gold qi, like a turtle head, generating, breathing, and nourishing longevity. Between one breath and one inhalation, the original qi of the whole body rises and falls freely, driving the changes of the original qi of the whole body."

Dr. Hua put away the True Form Diagram of the Five Viscera, his face ugly as he stared at this alienated lung, and said solemnly: "But this lung is extremely strange!"

"It has no rising and falling, the original qi of the whole body must be chaotic, but there is order in chaos. Its inhalation is inward, and the turbid fluids of the whole body's metabolism are spread outward, seeping out of the skin, turning into mucus, like a frog. Its exhalation is inward, spreading Gui Water qi to the skin, hair, and muscles, the ribs contract, like a snake coiling."

"Between one breath and one inhalation, snake coiling and frog moving, it is completely different from the turtle head of the True Form Diagram of the Five Viscera!"

"It is invading the power of the kidneys! This is not only lungs, but also kidneys, driving the movement of body fluids of the whole body, metabolizing water-grain essence. Its kidneys must be greatly atrophied, and even the bladder is degenerated..."

Dr. Hua pushed aside the skin and flesh, and sure enough, he saw the two kidneys at the position of the corpse's kidneys curled up like beans.

The bladder below was not dissected, but it must be as he said, completely atrophied.

"Lungs are the root of qi, but these lungs are the root of liquid, dominating Gui Water, so this alienated demon must live in water for a long time, and can even hide in deep water, more comfortable than on land."

The East and West sides, from different angles, actually reached the same conclusion.

"The rotation of the five viscera and five elements, mutual generation and mutual restraint, is the Great Dao. Although the function of these lungs is strong, they invade the power of the kidneys, using Geng Gold to counter-restrain Gui Water, extremely evil. It is definitely not the right path."

"Such a creature must have the ability to sleep and transform like a snake and frog!"

"Their lungs transform first. If this person didn't die, the appearance would also gradually transform, and the lifespan would gradually become long. Its body surface has mucus, its eyes bulge like a frog, the nasal orifice is the outer orifice of the lungs, and the function is so powerful that the nasal orifice can no longer satisfy it, so gills will grow..."

"Hands and feet have webs!"

Dr. Hua deduced while verifying what he said on the corpse.

Sure enough, prying open the corpse's eyelids, his eyeballs were obviously bulging, gill slits appeared on the back of his neck, and the skin between his fingers was abnormally wide... ===== CHAPTER 951 =====
