Chapter 24: Poisonous Demon
This bone spur is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and is cone-shaped.
The tip is like a needle and hollow inside.
It looks like a sharp straw.
Bone spurs can expand and contract with the movement of muscles.
The longest it can stretch out is about an inch from the palm.
Later, Allen discovered it again.
When you have drunk enough milk and are full of energy.
You can control the bone spurs on the palm of your hand and secrete transparent mucus.
The texture of the liquid is similar to varnish, and it exudes a light sour smell.
Allen has learned from his long-term experience of dealing with toxins.
Liquids that smell astringent are most likely poisonous!
However, systematic testing showed that the oily substance secreted from the palm of the hand does not contain toxins itself, but is more like a digestive fluid.
The liquid is rich in enzymes that can dissolve proteins.
Allen did the test himself.
Catch a mouse and strangle it to death.
Use the bone spurs in the palm of your hand to pierce the mouse's body to secrete digestive juices.
Waited about five minutes.
The rat's body went limp.
Only one intact pelt was left.
The muscles, internal organs, and even some bones inside, all dissolved into a paste!
Alan thrust the bone spur into the mouse again.
As soon as the thought came to mind, the bone spur began to suck the flesh and blood that had decomposed into liquid.
Slurp, slurp…
Slurp, slurp…
In the blink of an eye, the rat's blood and flesh were sucked dry.
Only a shrunken skin was left.
Alan withdrew his hand and examined his palm.
The bone spur slowly retracted and the palm felt slightly hot.
A surge of energy.
Transmit upward along the palm of your hand.
Eventually it ends up in the stomach.
Alan couldn't help but burp.
It feels like having a full meal of milk.
I see……
Now he understood.
The bone spur on the palm of my left hand actually looks more like a spider's mouthpart.
It can be used to hunt living things, inject digestive juices, break down muscle tissue, absorb it, and convert it into nutrients.
Now, he has not been weaned yet, but he can obtain energy and nutrients from the outside world in this insect-like way.
The poison demon is a really weird creature!
At the same time, Allen discovered similar deformities in his twin brother.
That little poison demon obviously does not possess Alan's scientific research spirit and cautious attitude.
I had no idea why this change happened to me, so I developed a habit of picking my hands whenever I had nothing to do.
Alan was speechless when he saw his brother's silly look.
I hesitated whether to give him some guidance.
Teach him the proper use of bone spurs and digestive juices.
Before he could make up his mind, his brother got into trouble.
One evening.
The foster mother returned from hunting with her four daughters.
I first had a big meal of venison.
Then she opened her fur coat, took Alan and his twin brother in, and breastfed the two little guys.
When the foster mother took the sisters out hunting.
Alan found a small snake from the crevice of the rock, killed it with a bone spur, and absorbed nutrients.
So he is not hungry now.
After drinking a few sips of milk to get by, he broke free from his foster mother's arms.
Run to the corners of the caves and collect mosses and fungi with medicinal value.
The four sisters came to join in the fun and watch Alan picking herbs.
He soon lost his patience and ran away laughing.
At this moment, the foster mother's screams suddenly came from behind.
Alan turned around quickly.
There was a scratch on the foster mother's plump chest, and blood was oozing out.
At the same time, Allen also noticed.
There was a bloody bone spur on the palm of the twin brother's right hand.
The foster mother's chest was pierced by a bone spur, and she instinctively threw the little poisonous demon in her arms out.
Alan quickly stepped forward, caught his brother, and protected him until he landed safely.
This idiot still looks at a loss!
The female ogre covered her chest wound and glared at Alan's brother angrily, with disappointment and resentment mixed in her eyes.
Alan immediately realized that something was wrong!
Will the adoptive mother regret adopting them brothers?
With a change of thought, Alan ran to the corner.
He grabbed a ball of moss and rubbed it between his hands until it was mush.
He turned around and ran to his foster mother and smeared the sticky moss on the wound on her chest.
A slight cool feeling immediately suppressed the pain.
The foster mother's complexion looked much better.
She stared at Alan's brother fiercely without saying a word.
At the same time, he held Alan in his arms and caressed him affectionately.
In fact, my adoptive mother had already noticed it.
This pair of posthumous children left by their mother.
Her two younger brothers.
Although they are twins, their minds and temperaments are very different.
Alan is smart, well-behaved and sensible, and knows how to please her better than her own daughter.
Another little guy...
To be fair, it's as stupid as a normal ogre cub.
But compared with Alan, his adoptive mother was even more disappointed.
She even doubted it.
In the pair of twins born by their mother, the intelligent genes belonging to the elves were concentrated in Alan.
As for the other unlucky guy, he completely inherited the ogre's rude and stupid genes.
Even your own mother can be partial sometimes.
What's more, she is just an adoptive mother, so of course she loves Allen more.
If Alan had not been well-behaved and grabbed a handful of moss with healing and bleeding properties to help her relieve the pain and anger, the adoptive mother would have already thought of abandoning Alan's brother.
From that day on, Alan's attitude towards his younger brother changed.
He took the initiative to tell the other party the secret of the bone spur.
He also repeatedly warned his younger brother not to use the bone spur to hurt his adoptive mother and sisters.
The last time I accidentally scratched my adoptive mother, it was already very dangerous.
Fortunately, my brother didn’t know how to secrete digestive juices at that time.
Otherwise, the consequences would be so serious that Alan couldn't even imagine it.
He wanted to be a good brother.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
His poisonous brother is really stupid and stubborn.
The other party was very dissatisfied with Alan's discipline.
We are twins who were born together. Why do you think you are my elder and give me orders?
Of course Alan could tell that his brother was thinking this.
In this regard, he could only sigh helplessly.
In fact, he already had a premonition that if this idiot didn't restrain himself, he would get himself killed sooner or later!
Alan didn't care whether the twin brother lived or died.
The problem is that the number of poisonous demons is too small.
As the saying goes, "a single piece of evidence is not enough."
For the sake of his own practice, Alan hopes that every poisonous demon can live as long as possible and achieve greater success.
In this way, you will have more reference samples.
By observing the evolution of the twin brother and comparing it to himself, we can better summarize the common characteristics of the poison demon species.
If his stupid brother.
He died at a young age by committing suicide.
Alan will not be able to observe more valuable evolutionary data from him, which is undoubtedly a huge loss.
One month later.
Alan and his brother were both weaned.
Next, I will follow my foster mother and sisters and learn how to go hunting.
In fact, Alan had sneaked out several times before.
Besides, he has no lack of experience in hunting in the wild.
In the name of hunting, Alan continued to study his deformed organs.
As his body gradually grew, the bone spur on his left hand expanded in length to three inches, and he developed a new ability.
This bone spur can absorb external toxins!
