Chapter 712 Anatomy
Joan dropped the corpse of the phase spider, remote-controlled the "Mage's Nether Palm" and moved it to the two surviving sword-footed male spiders, and waved his palm to take a heavy shot!
There were two muffled bangs, and a pair of male sword-footed spiders died one after another following the phase spiders.
Joan let out a long sigh of relief, sweat dripping from his forehead.
In the battle just now, in just one minute, he successively released two third-level spells with super magic skills, which consumed a lot of mental and physical energy.
At this moment, it was confirmed that the phase spider and the two male sword-footed spiders had been killed, and the tense nerves were relaxed, and the feeling of fatigue also swept over.
Joan wiped off his sweat, breathed evenly, and felt less tired, so he remotely controlled the "Mage Nether Palm" and dragged the corpses of the phase spider and the two male sword-footed spiders back to the "shelter hut".
These two kinds of spiders are very rare magical creatures, and in Qiao An's eyes, they are excellent research materials. It is not a waste of effort to get these three complete corpses.
Before starting to dissect the spider's corpse, Joan had one more urgent thing to do, which was to restore the "shelter hut".
Once a phase spider appears, there is no guarantee that a second one will not appear. If another phase spider sneaks into the hut quietly when I am indulging in research work, the consequences will be disastrous.
Thinking of this, Joan took out a white crystal bead, made a series of spell-casting gestures, then raised his hand to touch the slightly flooded force field shield in front of him, and cast the 3-ring arcane "Refuge Cabin" again.
The two identical spells are superimposed, one of the effects is the sum of the duration of the spells, and by the way, it also closes the two cracks on the ceiling that were cut by the sword-footed spider.
Joan looked around at the restored "shelter hut", rubbed his hands in satisfaction, and took out the dissection equipment.
He first attacked a sword-footed spider, cutting off its eight long legs like a crab.
Joan initially used a large scalpel to cut the spider's legs and found that it didn't work.
The legs of the sword-foot spider are far harder than the limbs of ordinary mutant spiders, even stronger than steel.
The fine-steel-polished scalpel cut with all its strength, leaving only slight scratches on the steel-blue luster of the spider's legs.
With a swipe of your fingertips, even the slight scratches can't be seen clearly.
Joan had known for a long time that the long legs of the sword-footed spider were very hard and could be used as a sword without additional processing, but the hardness still exceeded his expectations.
Ordinary scalpels couldn't cut off the hard spider legs, so Joan switched to the "Electric Blade".
The hardness and sharpness of the enchanted weapon are far beyond what can be compared with iron, but this time it cut off seven spider legs very smoothly.
The last spider leg that is enchanted with the force field effect is equivalent to an enchanted weapon, and it is difficult for even the "Electric Light Blade" to cut it off.
Qiao An observed the only remaining spider leg, cut the knife from the part close to the spider's torso, and finally removed the entire spider leg, including the joints.
Joan put down the dagger, held a pen on the eight spider legs neatly arranged in front of him, and drew the No. 4 rune Ansuz one by one, and cooperated with the "blood interpretation" to analyze the supernatural ability attached to it.
The first seven spider legs did not respond with any magic power.
It can be seen that these seven legs do not possess supernatural power, and the reason why they are particularly hard and sharp is only because the bones are extremely dense.
The last spider leg, as Joan expected, showed a magic mark, indicating that its unique force field attribute is a supernatural special effect.
Joan copied the analyzed magic imprint into the spell book.
Studying these magic imprints is very inspiring for him to learn other spells with force field attributes in the future.
For example, Joan has heard of a 7-ring arcane technique called "Mage Sword", which can summon a gleaming force field sword and attack the enemy remotely.
Although he hasn't learned this spell yet, according to the effectiveness of the spell, if he goes back and analyzes it, it is not difficult to find that its spell configuration consists of two units.
One of the units, similar to the "living weapon", provides remote control functions.
Another unit is responsible for shaping a force field in the shape of a blade.
Joan guessed that the spell configuration of the latter unit is likely to be very similar to the magic imprint he just analyzed from the blade spider.
Apart from the eight hard and sharp long legs, the structure of the blade spider's body is nothing special.
After the autopsy, Joan found that the blade spider lacked two abilities compared to the ordinary mutant spider.
For one, there are no glands that produce silk in the sword blade spider, and of course there is no spinneret.
This suggests that the blade spider does not weave webs.
Most people may not be able to tell the difference between spiders and other arachnids, and then think that creatures that look like spiders can weave webs.
Of course this is not right.
Among arachnids, many species can't weave webs.
For example, "blind spiders", as well as the famous "tarantulas", most of them can't spin silk and weave webs.
It's not a flaw, it's just that they don't need spinning and webbing at all.
The arachnids, which cannot spin webs, must have other equally reliable, if not more efficient, skills for hunting food.
Joan had only read about this truth in books before, and he didn't really understand it until today when he personally dissected the sword-footed spider and studied its physiological structure in depth.
The sword-footed spider has an amazing jumping ability far superior to other close relatives, and also has eight long, knife-sharp legs as hunting weapons.
Sword-footed spiders are happy to give full play to their advantages, take the initiative to attack and hunt down their prey.
There is no need to lie on the net all day long, waiting for the prey to hit itself.
Useless functions will degenerate and disappear over time. This is the natural law of use or disuse.
Sword-foot spiders do not need to make webs, and over time, they lose the ability to produce spider silk.
In addition, Joann did not find any venom-secreting glands in the sword-foot spider.
This can also be explained by the evolutionary principle of "use it or lose it".
The chewing organs and digestive system of sword-foot spiders have evolved very well.
The mouth is full of teeth, such a spider is really rare!
Since sword-foot spiders have teeth that can cut and grind raw meat, as well as a powerful digestive tract, they don't need to suck liquid like other spiders, and the degeneration of needle-like mouthparts is inevitable.
