Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1064 - 421: Bone Ore in the Pit (3)
The surface appears incredibly sleek, showing absolutely no signs of jagged bark.
A strange look crossed Liang Yuan's face. He pondered for a moment before turning his gaze to the leftover half of the tree stump embedded in the fleshy sac.
Next, he coated his hands generously with the black protein-dissolving fluid and started excavating the tree root ahead of him.
Sizzle... Sizzle...
Corrosive noises persisted, and after digging roughly one or two meters, a white pouch-shaped thing emerged in Liang Yuan's view.
This pouch encased the large tree's root, with multiple roots apparently sprouting from inside it.
Upon spotting this, Liang Yuan remembered the odd form of the tree and slowly pieced together a shocking hypothesis.
"This isn't a tree at all—it's... hair!"
Liang Yuan drew in a sharp breath, already suspecting the true nature of this entity.
It's tough to believe that one strand of hair could expand to the size of a colossal tree.
This pouch is obviously a hair follicle!
Gazing at the enormous sunken basin nearby, Liang Yuan's thoughts swirled with possible ideas.
He pondered which body part this could represent within the Floating Island Giant Corpse!
Frankly, he'd never encountered any creature that grew hair on the inside.
Hold on, humans supposedly have fine body hairs too.
Their main role is safeguarding the tissue layers or similar purposes.
Yet this Floating Island Giant Corpse perished eons ago, and the hair remains thriving; does that make sense?
"Not entirely; certain mummified remains still show traces of hair."
Hair truly resists decay well.
Parasitic molds or tiny organisms rarely feed on it, after all.
Liang Yuan scanned the surrounding trees and realized not every one was a thick hair; genuine trees existed among them.
Additionally, dirt layered the ground.
This suggests suitable environments for nurturing living things here.
Liang Yuan couldn't figure out the origin of this soil, let alone what organ this location symbolized.
Everything changed when he uncovered heaps of bones in a snowy expanse, startling him abruptly.
These bones were gigantic; a lone one stretched hundreds of meters.
At first, Liang Yuan failed to recognize it as bone until he got to the tip and snapped alert—it was indeed a bone!
He also spotted a huge deposit of Fire Attribute Superpower Stones inside this bone!
"Superpower Stones inside a bone?"
Shock gripped Liang Yuan. Through the fractured section, vivid red stones were visible.
No doubt about it, they were Fire Attribute Superpower Stones.
Liang Yuan promptly traced the split bone and excavated, swiftly extracting plenty of Fire Attribute Superpower Stones.
Observing the enormous bone, spanning a hundred meters and packed with Superpower Stone deposits.
Excitement ignited in Liang Yuan, and he silently tucked the entire hundreds-of-meters bone into his storage.
"The creature this bone belonged to was likely a Fire Attribute Mutant Beast during its lifetime."
"It got devoured by the Floating Island Giant Corpse, and since digestion didn't finish, the marrow over ages bred these Superpower Stone deposits."
Liang Yuan was amazed by this process for creating Superpower Stone Mines.
It resembled the textbook explanations he'd read on coal and oil origins.
According to books, those formed from buried ancient organisms, evolving slowly across thousands of years.
The timeframe for mutant bones to become Superpower Stone Mines stays a mystery.
