Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1403 Recovering the Monster Corpse

The stone monster felt the power of the knife and tried to dodge, but it was too late.

The demon sword Akagi Kiri hit it heavily, and there was a loud "bang". A powerful energy wave spread out from them as the center. The surrounding trees were uprooted and debris flew everywhere.

The stone monster's body began to tremble violently. Cracks appeared on its originally hard surface, and black demonic energy continued to emanate from the cracks.

It let out a roar of pain and tried to fight back, but Soma Yukihira wouldn't give it the chance.

He kept wielding the demon sword Akagi-Kiri, slashing at the stone monster again and again, and each blow carried endless murderous intent and power.

Under Soma Yukihira's crazy attack, the stone monster's body began to gradually collapse.

As stones fell one by one, its momentum became weaker and weaker.

Finally, with a deafening explosion, the stone monster fell to the ground.

At this moment, the demon sword Akagi Kiri in his hand suddenly made a buzzing sound, and the red light on the blade became brighter, as if awakened by some mysterious power.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful suction force came from the knife, and Soma Yukihira felt that the knife in his hand seemed to have its own consciousness, flying uncontrollably towards the direction where the stone monster fell.

He was startled and quickly increased the strength of his grip on the sword, but the suction force was so strong that he could not resist it at all. The demon sword Red Demon Cutting rushed into the dust like a red lightning.

Soma Yukihira could only follow closely. When he passed through the dust and came to the stone monster, the scene before him shocked him.

I saw the demon sword Akagi-Kiri was inserted into the heart of the stone monster. The red light on the sword was like a whirlpool, madly devouring the demonic power emanating from the stone monster.

The demonic power was like black smoke, continuously being absorbed into the demon sword's body, and the demon sword emitted bursts of cheerful buzzing sounds, as if it was enjoying a delicious meal.

Yukihira Souma was a little worried. He didn't know if there would be any adverse consequences from this demon sword absorbing the demon power so greedily.

But at this moment he had no time to think too much, he could only hold the hilt tightly to prevent the magic sword from getting out of control.

Fortunately, the demon sword Red Demon Cutting did not resist his control, or it could be said that it did not have real self-awareness, and even the absorption of vitality and demonic power was just the instinct of the sword.

Soma Yukihira looked at the stone monster's gradually dimming body and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After he confirmed that the stone monster was completely dead, he carefully pulled the demon sword Akagi-kiri out of the stone monster.

The moment the blade left the stone monster, the suction force disappeared, and the demon sword returned to calm, but the red light on the blade became more intense than before.

Soma Yukihira put the demon sword into the demon-sealing scabbard. After putting the demon sword away, he stood up, patted the dust off his body, and continued to walk deeper into the depths to find the location of the spirit wedge.

As for the body of the stone monster that he did not deal with, shortly after he left, America's people took quick action.

Like well-trained hunting dogs, they keenly captured this opportunity that may contain huge scientific research value.

A team composed of scientific researchers and special service personnel rushed to the scene as soon as they received the order.

"Hurry up, move quickly! The secrets of these monsters are hidden in these monsters. As long as we can figure out the secret, everyone, we will all be heroes of America, for America!"

The leading researcher shouted excitedly to his colleagues behind him, his eyes flashing with enthusiasm, as if he had seen the moment when he would make a major breakthrough in this field.

"For America!"

The researchers responded in unison, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

These scientific researchers didn't care about the danger and blood that remained on the battlefield. All they had eyes for was the huge and mysterious stone monster corpse in front of them.

After all, this is a creature they have never encountered before, and every cell and every tissue may hide secrets that will subvert existing scientific knowledge.

They acted quickly and carefully carried the stone monster's body into the laboratory.

Various advanced instruments and equipment are neatly arranged, flashing cold light.

Researchers began to conduct detailed inspection and analysis of the stone monster's body.

Some researchers carefully collected samples from the surface of the stone monster's body. The tools in their hands were as precise as scalpels, and every cut could accurately obtain the required tissue; others used various advanced instruments to conduct preliminary analysis and testing of the samples, trying to find some valuable clues.

"Everyone, please be careful and cautious when collecting samples to avoid damaging them. These samples are the key to our research on demons and monsters. If something goes wrong, all our previous efforts may be wasted."

Jack kept reminding everyone, his eyes revealing a determination that would not tolerate any mistakes.

While collecting samples, the researchers also conducted detailed observations and records of the overall structure of the stone monster's corpse.

They found that although the body of the stone monster looked like it was made of hard stone on the outside, its internal structure was actually very complex.

Beneath the surface of the stone, there seems to be a special kind of energy veins hidden. These veins are distributed throughout the monster's body like blood vessels, and a mysterious energy constantly flows through them.

"This is incredible! I have never seen such a biological structure. What exactly is this energy vein? How does it provide energy for the monster's actions?"

They found that the body structure of the stone monster was very different from that of ordinary creatures.

Although its body is mainly composed of stone, there are some tissues similar to blood vessels and nerves in the cracks of the stone. A black liquid flows in these tissues, which may be the source of its power.

"What is this black liquid? Could it be the carrier of demonic power?"

A researcher asked, pointing to the image under the microscope.

"It is very likely that we will need to extract some samples for further testing."

Another researcher answered, and he quickly picked up a syringe and carefully extracted some black liquid from the stone monster's body.

"This is exactly what we need to study. Don't be in a hurry, take it step by step. Collect the samples completely first, and then bring them back to the laboratory for more in-depth analysis."

Jack comforted everyone, while secretly looking forward to the next research results.
