The skeleton's structure was no different from a human's, but its body was larger, with a height of more than two meters.
The skeleton wasn't complete. There were several large gaps from the right eyebrow to the forehead. About six ribs were missing, more than half of the arm bones were shattered, and the other arm bone that was relatively intact was missing four fingers.
At first glance, this was an ordinary skeleton.
However, the bright red heart in the chest instantly made the skeleton extraordinary.
Law silently observed the heart in the skeleton's chest.
It wasn't agitated, but it was surrounded by weak Ki.
The heart was wrapped in a layer of bright red flesh membrane. At the edge, there were dozens of blood-red roots attached to the surrounding bones.
"Do you think the heart belongs to this skeleton or some unknown parasite?"
Law narrowed his eyes. Even without touching it from a distance, he knew that the heart didn't have any vitality. It was only attached to a little Ki, like the unknown stone floating in the air, emitting a faint light.
This amount of Ki could be seen in some historical crafts. Usually, it was unintentionally left by ordinary artists who didn't know how to read.
"Parasite!"
Qiuqiu raised her hand and answered.
The reason she gave was that the roots attached to the bones was very similar to the routine used by parasites.
"It's indeed a little similar."
Jin looked at the blood-red roots.
"It's just that this heart looks very fresh, but it doesn't have any vitality."
"Yes, and only a little bit of Ki is left."
According to the degree of weathering of the skeleton, it was naturally impossible to leave such a fresh heart. However, this was the Dark Continent after all. Before the identity of this skeleton was clear, anything could happen.
"This is a dead heart, not a parasite." Otofuri, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said.
The others couldn't help but look at Otofuri.
"To observe the thing in front of you, you not only need to use Ning, but also use Sphere when necessary," Otofuri said calmly.
Using telekinesis for a long time would more or less cause some habitual thinking.
When investigating an unknown environment, one would use Sphere, and when checking the details of an item, one would use Ning.
This kind of long-term habit of using skills would be stabilized imperceptibly.
For example, now that the skeleton came into view, Luo Hejin immediately used Ning to observe, but he didn't expect that he could use Sphere to observe this skeleton.
Because the skeleton was already an item in front of them, Ning was the highest priority and the most effective observation skill.
After Otofuri's reminder, the two immediately released Sphere to wrap the heart in the skeleton's chest.
When the circle penetrated into the heart, the information about the internal structure of the heart was transmitted back to the tactile nerves of Law and Jin in an instant, and they immediately conceived the picture in their minds.
"Huh?"
Both of them looked surprised at the same time. They first looked at each other, then at Higashirito.
"What did you 'see'?"
Although Otofuri did not use the Sphere to probe the internal structure of the heart, he seemed to know that there was something special about it.
"There's a small human-like thing inside the heart.
"Heh … …"
Otofuri Hejin, Ores, and Sphere than Sphere s.........
"Do you know what that is?" Law asked.
Otofuri Hejin shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Later, he suggested: "You can cut it open and see, and from the current situation of sound transmission and echo, this place should be very spacious, maybe there is more than one skeleton."
Luo Weiwei nodded and agreed with Otofuri Hejin's statement.
Law controlled his Telekinesis, compressed it into a toothpick-like sharp shape, cut off the roots attached to the bone one by one, and then gently held the heart out and placed it on the platform transformed by the Black Cat.
After that, Law silently remembered the position of the [Homunculus], pinched the shape of a scalpel with his Telekinesis, and slowly and steadily cut open the heart. A thick blood flowed out of the heart cavity with a stench.
The stench was enough to make an ordinary person faint in a few seconds.
However, they are not ordinary people, and they quietly bear the stench that came to their noses.
The blood flowed out of the heart and slowly revealed a little man lying obliquely inside half of the heart. It was about the size of a baby's palm, covered with a thick layer of plasma, and its face could not be seen.
More subtle blood vessels extended from the inside half of the heart and stuck to the head and eyes of the little man.
Everyone looked at the little man that was cut out from the heart and fell into silence.
After a while, Law broke the silence.
"Hejin, you have been in the Dark Continent for so long, and this is the first time you have seen such a small person?"
"Yes."
Otofuri Hejin nodded.
From the size and appearance, this little man is similar to a human's body structure.
Law thought about it and used his Telekinesis to wash the blood on the little man.
Without the blood covering, the little man's body was revealed in front of everyone. It had human skin, limbs, and reproductive organs. Only the face and head were attached to by thin whiskers. No eyes and nose could be seen, and it was impossible to determine whether the little man had eyes and nose.
Law did not dissect further because he was not sure if there were any samples here.
"Let's see what's here first."
Law put away his Telekinesis and looked at the many glowing stones floating in the air.
These light sources alone were not enough to illuminate the road, so they could only rely on the light algae.
For Law's proposal, the others naturally had no objection.
From the time they came down until now, they didn't feel any danger.
"Let's solve the light problem first."
Law whispered to himself, put the little man and the heart away, and immediately let the Black Cat take out all the light algae stock.
Looking at Law's storage of so many light algae, Otofuri Hejin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He also had many different types of Telekinesis, but he was not as crazy as Law to store so many.
Taking out all the light algae, Law injected his Telekinesis into each light algae to make them glow.
After the treatment, he let the Black Cat put the light algae around.
After a while, all the glowing light algae were in place, and the surroundings gradually brightened, allowing Law to see the surrounding environment clearly. It was a huge circular flat ground.
With just a quick glance, he could see a large number of low platforms on the ground, like circular tree stumps, less than two meters in diameter, but almost the same.
Around those low platforms, there were one or two skeletons lying quietly at every distance.
Just a few glances, although the number of skeletons couldn't be estimated, it could only be said that the number was not small.
"Bone tomb?"
Otofuri Hejin whispered to himself.
"By the way, are we here to find treasure?" The Black Cat glanced at the stones floating in the air, first muttered in a low voice, and then asked again, "So, are we in reality?"
This question has not been verified yet.
Now, the invisible gravity has disappeared, and they can leave here and return to the ground at any time.
