Chapter 1280: Seven Experimental Subjects (Ⅱ)

"I guess the petrification ability of the unicorn rabbit has something to do with the sharp horn growing on its forehead." Medea asserted firmly.

The fact is indeed as she guessed.

"The horns of the unicorn rabbit are not only extremely hard and sharp, able to easily pierce the scales of the crocodile, but also secrete a supernatural toxin, which seeps into the blood through the wound of the prey and flows all over the body."

"If the creature stabbed by the unicorn rabbit is strong enough, it can resist the infection of the petrochemical toxin, and there is no serious problem."

"Conversely, if it is not strong enough, the flesh and blood will gradually calcify under the stimulation of the toxin, and the body will become more and more dull. In less than an hour, all the flesh and blood will calcify and turn into a stone statue."

According to the records in the literature, Joan introduced the petrification ability of the unicorn rabbit to Medea.

"Infect the toxin through the wound, calcify the muscle, and indirectly achieve the petrification effect..."

Medea muttered to herself, thinking about making an evaluation.

"First of all, I have to admit that the petrification ability of the unicorn rabbit is very interesting, but the "petrification gaze" I am familiar with is completely different from the way, and from your description, this petrification process is too slow, far less The gaze attack of the basilisk or our Gorgon is more efficient and practical, Joan, what do you think?"

"Because of the different modes of action, it is necessary for us to study unicorn rabbits, otherwise our work will not be complete and universal."

"As for your claim that the Unicorn Rabbit's 'Petrified Demon Horn' is too slow to take effect and is not practical, I only agree with the first half of the sentence."

"It is true that this kind of petrification attack is not as efficient as your petrification gaze, but it is more suitable for unicorn rabbits, and it is a reasonable result of natural evolution."

"Why?" Medea asked puzzled.

"The unicorn rabbit is a supernatural mammalian lagomorph. Although they are carnivorous animals, their teeth are not as hard as the petrified lizards, and they do not have the abnormal digestion ability to extract nutrients from rocks. You can eat soft and juicy meat."

"Think about it, if the petrification ability of the unicorn rabbit takes effect too quickly, and the stabbed creature will turn into a stone statue in an instant, wouldn't the unicorn rabbit have nothing to eat?"

Medea froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile, admitting that what Joan said made sense.

"After hunting, the unicorn rabbit will always eat the uncalcified flesh and blood of the prey as soon as possible, and fill its stomach before the corpse is completely petrified."

Finally, Joan made a summary of the hunting characteristics of the unicorn rabbit.

"Okay, Joan, tell me where I can catch unicorn rabbits. I want to catch a few more and keep them as pets at home." Medea said cheerfully.

"The Unicorn Rabbit lives in wet marshes."

"Oh! Our place is also a swamp, but I have never seen such a small animal." Medea spread her hands regretfully.

Joan waved her hand, signaling her to be patient and listen to him.

"The unicorn rabbit cannot adapt to the environment lacking light, and of course it will not inhabit the swamp in the dark region. According to the sighting reports recorded in the literature, the Baden Wetland is close to the saltwater swamp at the mouth of the sea. There used to be unicorn rabbits. Mark of."

Joan smiled, and then said: "It's also a coincidence, I have been recuperating in Baden Hot Springs for a while this spring, and I am quite familiar with the local environment, Medea, if you can cast the 'teleportation', I will I can take you to the Baden wetlands to search for unicorn rabbits."

"Of course it's no problem! I can take you to that Baden Wetland at any time, let's catch the rabbit first, and then take a hot spring bath."

Longing appeared in Medea's eyes, and the little snake writhed excitedly.

"Don't think about good things first, unicorn rabbits are not so easy to catch."

Joan spread out the notebook and pointed to an excerpt for her to read.

"Most eyewitness reports on unicorn rabbits provide a similar detail, that is, there will always be a mysterious figure dressed as a witch next to the unicorn rabbit. It can be seen that the unicorn rabbits seen by witnesses are not wild, and more likely It's the witch's familiar."

"In fact, the legend about the unicorn rabbit is always closely related to witches. Some scholars even believe that the world's first unicorn rabbit was created by witches."

"Witches need to use magic pets as a medium to establish a spiritual bond with the mysterious 'patron' they worship, and then gain the ability to cast spells. From this perspective, the significance of magic pets to witches is like spell books to mages, blood lineages For warlocks, its importance is self-evident."

"Before we set off for the Baden Wetlands, we had to be prepared."

"It would certainly be the best outcome if wild unicorns could be caught, but the possibility is very low."

"If we can't find wild unicorn rabbits, we can only resort to the next best thing. We will look for the hermit witch in the depths of the swamp and seek help from him. This will be very troublesome." Joan sighed.

Medea's eyes flickered, and she said slowly: "Most witches are eccentric and moody. Kind witches are rare, but evil witches are common."

"I wish there was a bad witch in Baden Wetlands, so that we can slaughter the bad witch and snatch her unicorn without any psychological burden."

Joan gave her an annoyed look.

"Medea, your thoughts are dangerous!"

"Just thinking about it, besides, I never said I was a good person..."

The Gorgon protested in a low voice, then changed the subject.

"Joan, the matter of the one-horned rabbit is already in the making. Tell me about other petrified creatures, where are you going to hunt them?"

"Slightly more difficult than the unicorn is the cockatrice. This magical beast is said to have the body of a chicken, the wings of a bat, and a tail resembling a poisonous snake."

"The petrification ability of the cockatrice is similar to that of the unicorn. It pecks its prey with its hard beak, infects the prey with toxins, and makes the flesh and blood of the prey rapidly calcify, eventually turning into a stone statue."

"I found seven sighting reports on cockatrices, but only two were within five years, and the sightings were all in the Old Continent, far away from our place by the sea."

"As long as we are still in the world of Vales, it doesn't matter how far we are. Anyway, we can use the 'teleportation technique' to make our way." Medea twisted her slender neck, with a confident smile on her lips.

Joan nodded and continued: "Comparing all the sighting reports, I think the primeval forests in the northern part of the Far East of the Old Continent are the most likely to find cockatrices."

"Primitive forest? This range is too big, can you be more precise?" Medea was slightly dissatisfied.

"The sighting location recorded in the literature is located near the 'Mist Swamp' in the far northeast. There is a human settlement called 'Valley Village' beside the swamp. We can teleport to Valley Village first, and then ask the local hunters about the presence of cockatrices. zone."

Joan revealed the well-planned itinerary.
