Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1532 - 641: Dissecting the Sea Beast_2

Even Qu Shilin had thought of some ideas, such as adding the flesh and blood of sea beasts to gene potions and awakening potions. Theoretically speaking, it could also enhance human physique, and even more so than merely drinking blood and eating flesh!

Of course, this is just Qu Shilin’s current speculation, and she still needs to conduct many experiments to confirm whether this is the case.

Anyway, no matter what, these corpses of sea beasts are good things for humans.

So, the matter of whether or not to plant Awakening Seeds in the bodies of sea beasts led to a disagreement among Wang Tao and his group.

Because a corpse embedded with an Awakening Seed is essentially providing its internal energy to the seed, making the corpse unusable for anything else.

The question is whether to choose the sea beast’s corpse or the Awakening Seed, it’s one or the other.

Some people think that the sea beast’s corpse is better. After all, such a large body, just the flesh and blood alone would be enough for many people to eat. It could not only fill their stomachs but also enhance their strength, how great is that!

Others believe that it is safer to turn the body into Awakening Fruits. After all, there is no detailed data on how much enhancement the sea beast’s corpse could bring to people, but Awakening Fruits can definitely promote Ascension and even Awakening. So there is no need to take risks...

In the end, Wang Tao made the decision to try it out first, to see how much flesh and blood would cause the Awakening Seed to germinate.

In the past, when he hunted zombies and monsters, he often left their bodies mutilated, but that still didn’t prevent the planting of Awakening Fruits. Therefore, Wang Tao has reason to speculate that planting Awakening Fruits does not necessarily require a complete corpse!

Therefore, Wang Tao plans to experiment to see how much flesh and blood needs to be preserved for the Awakening Seed to germinate and also to see if the number of resulting Awakening Fruits is reduced in this situation.

Wang Tao started with 1% of the body, and the result was obvious; the Awakening Seed simply would not root in such a small amount of flesh and blood.

Later, Wang Tao gradually increased the amount, and finally, when he reached about one-third, the Awakening Seed was willing to take root.

This indicated that at least one-third of the flesh from the corpse needs to be retained; otherwise, it is impossible to grow an Awakening Tree.

Now only one last question remains—how many Awakening Fruits do one-third of the flesh yield, and is there any change in quality.

If it’s the same as before, with no change in the quantity and quality of the Awakening Fruits, then going forward they only need to preserve one-third of the flesh from a single sea beast. The rest of the flesh can be partly given to research institutions, the City Hall, and the rest distributed among the others.

They will continue the research on the sea beast and wait for the maturation of the Awakening Fruits.

During this time, Wang Tao returned to the base once.

The base has been bustling these past few days, with conversations about sea beasts everywhere. Especially those who participated in the last "fishing plan," they have become the center of attention these past days.

The City Hall did not ask them to keep it a secret, so they vividly described the events. Even those who did not participate could feel the terror of the sea beasts and the strength of Wang Tao and his team just from these descriptions. They envied those who were able to take part in this venture, to experience such a grand event, which they could probably boast about for a lifetime.

But contrary to the excitement of the public, the City Hall was somewhat worried.

Although the threat of the sea beast was temporarily resolved, no one could guarantee that no more sea beasts would emerge from the Rift, so the water extraction work remains on indefinite hiatus.

And if there are sea beasts in this Rift, there could be others in different Rifts as well. There are many Rifts around the world, and if they all contain such sea beasts, it would be terrifying. After all, these sea beasts can come ashore!

Then there’s the temperature issue. During the last fishing plan, many of the higher-ups also went out and experienced the high temperatures outside firsthand. Compared to the sea beasts, they’re more worried about the heat!

At least Wang Tao and the other Sixth Rank Awakened can deal with the sea beasts, but what about the heat? If the temperature gets high enough that even the Barrier can’t stop it, then Changhe Base might face a grim fate...

When Wang Tao saw Gu Yun, the latter was looking worried.

"Don’t be so pessimistic, let me tell you some good news."

"What good news?"

Upon hearing about good news, Gu Yun’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"Every part of the sea beast is a treasure..."

Wang Tao shared the results of the past few days’ research with Gu Yun.

"Damn, that’s great!"

Hearing this news, Gu Yun was instantly overjoyed.

No matter what difficulty you need to solve, your own strength is the most important and fundamental aspect. Without strength, even if you know the solution, you might not be able to accomplish it due to being too weak.

Therefore, for the people of Changhe Base, enhancing their own strength is definitely one of the most important goals.

And the flesh of Sea Beasts can enhance one’s strength!

Just thinking about the massive size of the Sea Beasts, capable of contributing a large amount of flesh, Gu Yun was thrilled.

This was absolutely the best news he had heard in these two days.

However, suddenly, Gu Yun seemed to think of something and quickly asked:

"Right, isn’t the body of a Disaster-level creature needed to plant the Awakening Fruit Tree?"

"It is for planting Awakening Fruits, but after testing, leaving just one-third of a Sea Beast’s flesh is enough for the Awakening Seed to sprout. After three days, I’ll check the grown Awakening Fruits, and if there’s no problem, we can keep 30% of the flesh for planting the Awakening Fruit Trees, and the rest can be freely distributed," Wang Tao explained with a smile.

"That’s good, that’s great!"

Gu Yun clenched his fists firmly. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

The overall strength of the base could be improved by another notch!

"However, consuming this flesh is not something ordinary people can do. Since this flesh continues to emit Cataclysmic Awakening energies, ordinary people can’t withstand it. It’s best to let those above Level 3 consume it, and also have personnel with Healing Attribute ready on the side, in case of emergencies..."

"Moreover, this flesh contains Internal Impurity, and eating too much could increase one’s Internal Impurity. But according to Qu Shilin’s tests, the Internal Impurity from consuming Sea Beast flesh is not permanent and can be metabolized out! So, to consume this flesh, it needs to be done regularly and in controlled amounts, not too much at once. After consuming a certain amount, you need to stop eating it until the Impurities have been expelled..."

Wang Tao informed Gu Yun of all this, so he could prepare in advance. Once the Awakening Fruits ripen and it’s confirmed there are no problems, the Sea Beast flesh will be sent back.

"Great! I’ll arrange everything!"

Gu Yun immediately patted his chest confidently.

After telling Gu Yun about this, Wang Tao left. He did not rush to find Qu Shilin but went back to the Rift he had visited earlier.

During the last battle, the water in the Rift had been stained red by the Sea Beast, just like a Blood Pool.

But now, the water here had become clear once again.

If it were not for the battle scars on the banks, one might never know that a great battle had happened here.

Wang Tao asked the Golden Eagle to fly above the Rift to see if there were any Sea Beasts left.

After flying for a while, nothing was found; the water surface was very calm.

Wang Tao shook his head, whether in relief or disappointment, and then he left the place.

Returning once again to the Nameless Hill, Qu Shilin and the others were intensely discussing their research findings.

Seeing Wang Tao come back, everyone bustled to inform him of today’s research findings.

"We just pried open the Sea Beast’s skull, and I finally understand why they’re so prone to cannibalism—they have too smooth and small brains!"

It is well-known that the number of folds in the brain is related to the level of intelligence. For example, humans have many folds in their brains, and the head occupies a significant proportion of the body, so humans are relatively intelligent. In contrast, some small animals have brains that are not only small but also very smooth, rendering them less intelligent.

These Sea Beasts are like those small animals, with questionable intelligence.

Adding to that, they can evolve by cannibalizing each other, and their Awakening has no effect on one another, so once instigated, it is easy for them to turn upon and kill each other.

So the question arises, even such "fools" can ascend to Sixth Rank Disaster level, what about the other Sea Beasts? Surely they can’t all be fools...
