The armored medical vehicle jolted slightly on the mountain road. The screeching sound of the chainsaw spinning echoed inside the vehicle. Gu Jun picked up the high-powered chainsaw from the corner of the vehicle. The sharp teeth gleamed coldly as he walked back to the leg of lamb.
Seeing this, the Zoogs and the group of anatomists broke out in cold sweat. Xiao Huiwen's face turned from red to black.
But they were not there, and they did not have that kind of acute sense, so what could they say?
But then again, this was such a waste. Such a good limb was about to have its soft tissue destroyed and flesh splattered everywhere …
But then a new suspicion appeared in their eyes. They saw that Gu Jun was not moving toward the thighs but the feet, and the chainsaw was heading toward the hooves of the feet.
Hoof was the protective layer of horny material on the toes of animals like cows, horses and goats. The hoof of the baby black goat was also a layer of hard material. It was long and thick, black and shiny. It had 3 toes and the tip was sharp. Each hoof was about the size of a human arm.
"There is something strange about the baby black goat's bones." Gu Jun told the group, "But the strangest bone, I believe it belongs to the hoof."
"The regenerative organ is inside the baby black goat's bones!"
That was not a complete statement. Gu Jun had this feeling. Complete information and incomplete information were not the same thing in terms of transmission.
The connection between him and the City of Dusk was not strong enough to allow him to transmit a large amount of complete information. Incomplete information could easily cross the boundary and reach his brain. But he needed to understand and decipher this on his own.
Horny material and bone were two different things, their composition and process were different. But what grew on the hoof of the baby black goat might not be horny material.
Thinking back to the hologram that flashed through his mind, Gu Jun remembered there was a shadowy shape around the hoof …
"That's right." Even though Wu Shiyu did not understand anatomy, he had a talent that could not be ignored. "Hmm, if I use this lamb's hoof to make braised lamb's hoof, I have a feeling that I'll get a stomachache, probably because there are too many worms in the meat."
Actually, even without synesthesia, everyone knew that if they ate this lamb's hoof, they would get a stomachache.
But, a bug? What are the worms in the bones?
"We'll know after we saw it." Gu Jun held the chainsaw tightly. "Everyone, move away. Be careful. Be prepared for any abnormalities."
Uncle Dan, Wang Ruoxiang, and the rest immediately moved away from the chainsaw lest they were accidentally injured by it.
The ones who were most afraid were the Zoogs, this was a murder!
After all, Jill had dealt with Gu Jun the most, so he quickly called out to his subordinates to stop hiding in the corner. Hiding in the corner was useless. In the blink of an eye, they all hid behind Wu Shiyu, hugging her back and legs like koalas. This was the safest place in the carriage.
Just as they turned Wu Shiyu's back into a Zoog coat, Gu Jun swung the saw at the border between the toe and the dorsum of the leg.
Creak creak creak creak …
The sharp teeth cut into the black surface of the hoof bone. Instantly, Gu Jun felt the muscles in his arms shake violently. It was as if the chainsaw in his hands had hit a rock. The teeth and the chain froze for a moment. There was a grating sound of resistance. There was no bone shards, but there were some light sparks.
"So hard …" Gu Jun gasped. He gripped the chainsaw tightly. He could feel the veins on the back of his hands bulging. Blood threatened to burst out.
Even though Uncle Dan and the rest were mentally prepared, they were still shocked.
"It won't cook like this …" Wu Shiyu scratched his head. "No wonder it will get a stomachache."
"Uncle Dan, I've seen my fair share of hard objects." Uncle Dan shook his head. "This one is really hard!"
Bone strength affected the hardness and bone density affected the weight. Obviously, this hoof bone had both.
"It doesn't look like a calcareous bone." Wang Ruoxiang said with a frown. No matter how hard a calcareous bone was, it would not be able to withstand the chainsaw or else they would not be able to perform an amputation.
Before this, they had already noticed that the foot of the lamb was almost undamaged. Under such a saturated attack and continuous artillery fire, the black goat cub was even hit a few times directly, but its hoof bones were not damaged at all. That seemed to explain the strangeness of the toe.
"If it's not calcareous, then can it still be considered a bone?" Xiao Huiwen mumbled to himself. "What else could it be?"
As the person wielding the chainsaw, Gu Jun knew the hardness of the hoof best. He had been sawing for a long time but it did not budge …
Furthermore, the completion rate of the mission did not even increase by 0.001 percent.
Material? What kind of biological material could be so hard?
If it was not material … not normal material …
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, like lightning breaking through the dark clouds. Dark matter? There were thousands of worlds, and there were thousands of forms of life. Matter existed, and so did dark matter. The 'Black Goat of the Forest that gave birth to thousands of offspring', its cub was not completely made of matter.
The shadow in the hologram might not be the thing inside the hoof, perhaps it was the bone itself, a substance that was different from normal matter.
It was that substance that caused the hoof bone to be so hard and gave it this kind of abnormal power.
The buzzing of the chainsaw stopped. Gu Jun stopped and took a deep breath. As he shared his thoughts with the group, he bent closer to the hoof bone. He could see clearly that there was still no mark on the hoof bone. The sawing had been going on for so long, but it did not damage the hoof at all.
"This bone..." Wu Shiyu grimaced. The Zoogs behind her felt a sense of danger.
Uncle Dan and Wang Ruoxiang went forward to take a look. They used the microscope to study it. Their eyes did not deceive them. Even in the microscopic world, the texture of the hoof bone did not change. It was as if the attack from the chainsaw had completely disregarded it.
"Abnormal power …" Xiao Huiwen was speechless. As anatomists, they could not come up with any solution to this.
At that moment, there was another hissing sound. On the hoof's thigh and calf, a palm-sized piece of skin collapsed. It was being converted into more of that dark green liquid. The stench inside the carriage thickened and the group's expression became more anxious.
There was not much time left. Gu Jun felt like his heart was on fire, but he forced himself to calm down.
If the new system followed the old system's mechanism, the system would only give out missions when there was a chance to complete them.
Including the current predicament, he had a chance and a way to solve it.
Gu Jun looked around. His eyes scanned the various objects inside the carriage, including the shivering Zoogs. Finally, his eyes landed on the Carlop scalpel that he had taken earlier. With a thought, he grabbed the scalpel again and turned it to face the hoof bone again.
This time, not only Xiao Huiwen and the rest were confused, even Uncle Dan was confused. Even the chainsaw could not cut it, so how could the scalpel be useless?
