Chapter 724 The Body Transforms into a Time Traveler

After instructing Jabas, Xia Duo sent a message to Jeff, the director of the Territory Development Department, asking him to meet Jabas's employment needs as much as possible while maintaining the current development progress.

Fortunately, there are only a few days left this month. If there are no accidents, the fleet jointly organized by Hans and Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce will be back soon. At that time, there will be at least 500 new citizens, enough for Jabas used.

……

Hurrying back to the Tower of Time, Xia Duo plunged into the magic laboratory.

When he got here, he didn't have to worry about the statue any more, but Xia Duo had a faint premonition in his heart that maybe the supernatural power of the statue would no longer exist after the mysterious existence exploded.

Take the statue out of the portable space, and stand firmly in the center of the magic laboratory, almost close to the roof. In the limited space, this tall and hideous statue looks particularly oppressive.

After Jabas and others dug up the statue and transported it to the military camp, they did not carry out a thorough cleaning work, but simply swept away the floating soil on the surface.

What Xia Duo has to do now is to give this statue a thorough cleaning first, maybe the details are hidden under the mud!
The cleaning process was lackluster. It was nothing more than Xia Duo using his awakened [Water Control] to fine-tune the entire statue.

As Xia Duo expected, the real surprise was hidden after cleaning!
There were layers of mud stains before, although it can be seen that the whole body of the statue is made of stone, but the specific stone is still a theory!
After cleaning, even if Xia Duo was not a geologist, he could clearly see that the scale creature with a snake-tailed human body and the stone pillar as the base of the statue were not made of the same material.

Among them, the color of the scale creatures is similar to black, with a faint bluish tint, while the stone pillars are pure black, and some smooth parts clearly reflect white light.

Xia Duo carefully inspected the connection between the scale creature and its coiled stone pillar. It may be an exaggeration to describe it as clearly defined, but it is true.

At least, from the perspective of an ordinary person, from the surface, the connection between the two can clearly see a dividing line following the direction of the scale-shell biological form.

"It seems, it seems that the scaled creature and the base stone pillar were not made in the same batch!"

This is the simplest conclusion Xia Duo has drawn based on the phenomena he has observed so far. Maybe there is really just the right stone material to create this statue with different materials for the main body and the base.

"By the way, there is still a severed tail!"

Xia Duo thought of the truncated tail. This statue looks quite valuable. Although it has been "snapped" by the portable space, it is better not to destroy it if it can not be destroyed.

After all, there is only one statue of this kind for the time being.

……

After cleaning the severed tail, it was also the same color as the body of the scale armor creature, with a slight bluish ink color, and even the broken section was also that color.

only--

Why does that fracture surface have an indescribable feeling? Could it be——

Xia Duo couldn't help being taken aback by his own thoughts, and took a few steps back to look at the statue carefully. The human body has a snake tail, and the whole body is covered with scales. Not to mention the snake tail, even the arms that seem to be similar to humans are no exception. .

Others, such as the chest, back and head, also have fine scales.

The more he looked at it, the more frightened Xia Duo became. Although he had never seen the real body of this scaled creature, the statue really gave him the feeling of a living creature, baring his teeth and claws, almost throwing the weapon in his hand out.

Of course, all these feelings may be psychological hints, all originating from some strange features he found on the broken tail, but since he already has this idea, he has to verify it no matter what.

……

With the truncated tail, Xia Duo came to the general laboratory on the side. Although the alchemy circle has not been installed here, it is enough to have a test bench.

After fixing the broken tail, Xia Duo opened his right hand, and a fine gold knife with faint blue luster quietly appeared in his hand.

"Ding Ding Ding-"

The fine gold knife and the broken tail lightly collided to make a crisp sound, Xia Duo exerted a little force, and soon a small piece of broken tail broke out from the section.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo observed the new fracture surface, and then continued to knock and chisel on the section of the broken tail. Just looking at his movements, he looked like a poor mason, but he didn't care, his Only the cross-section, and the cross-section——

Muscle texture!

After a while, the test bench was in a mess, with black and bluish stone chips everywhere, big or small, and Xia Duo was still knocking and gouging.

He didn't stop until a cylinder was chiseled out of the section of the broken tail.

Throwing the fine gold knife on the test bench casually, Xia Duo couldn't help complaining: "If there is such a stone that perfectly fits bones, muscles, skin, and scales, then there will be ghosts!"

He had only seen the muscle texture in the cut-off section of the tail before, and after that he continued to gouge, and the debris that flew out were all broken along the muscle texture.

If this is all a coincidence, then is it also a coincidence that he, a novice with no carving experience at all, chiseled out a thin-walled cylinder with stone materials!

Xia Duo directly stretched out his hand to break off the wall of the cylinder that was removed by the broken tail chisel, and a scale slightly larger than his fingernail was just broken off.

Throwing away the scales casually, Xia Duo smiled wryly, "Really!"

He didn't want to continue to verify it anymore. If there were no accidents, as long as the statue of the scaly creature was cut open, the internal organs of that creature could be seen inside.

Xia Duo couldn't believe that anyone would be so bored, using the same material to reproduce a creature in such a fine manner, even going deep into the body.

In this magical world, it is more likely that this statue was transformed from a biological body.

Some time ago, Jabas and his son were petrified!

Especially Jabas, who was completely petrified. If Xia Duo gave up on him and buried him directly, would the people who dug up Jabas be surprised by such a statue a few years later?

As for why the material of Jabas is different from that of this statue after being petrified, it may be caused by the difference in the magic used in the transformation.

……

"A time traveler in ancient times, a prisoner who was punished, or an ordinary 'person' who encountered an accident, or simply some kind of statue decoration made of 'real people'?"

Xia Duo had already determined that the statue was transformed from a real creature. He looked around the statue again, and his feeling was completely different. He had a feeling of talking to this creature through time and space.

Looking at the magical aura again, it was the same as what was observed in the military camp before, there was no obvious aura reaction, no different from ordinary stones.

However, this statue was "sniffed" by the portable space before, and it must have undergone some kind of change in the middle, but Xia Duo still can't figure it out for the time being.

The only thing that is certain is that the statue looks "spoiled" and he needs more statues like this!

Afterwards, whether it is directly feeding the portable space or continuing to study, it is a very good sample!
