Chapter 82

The white bones all around it, even the spider claws could only leave a faint, shallow mark. The bones, including the joints, were tightly connected. Even the heavy kick from the Golden Leg could not break them apart. So, its skull would also be unbreakable, wouldn't it? This means its entire body is invincible, impervious to blades and bullets. How can it be killed?

It can't have no weaknesses.

So Chu Nan thought, perhaps the source of its power is also its only weakness.

Taking advantage of Can'er temporarily drawing its attention, Chu Nan used all his strength to kick its spine.

If this attack still had no effect, Chu Nan would have to decide to flee immediately, as he didn't know any other way to kill it. This monster, made entirely of bones, and incredibly hard and indestructible, was virtually invincible.

With a loud "boom," Chu Nan's kick sent a burst of blinding light from the spine, which clashed with the golden light released by his Golden Power. Suddenly, with a whoosh, the entire spine was kicked out of the white bone monster's body and flew out horizontally.

At the moment the spine was kicked out, the other bones of the white bone monster, which had been tightly connected, suddenly scattered and fell to the ground, losing all their strength and becoming motionless.

Realizing he had guessed correctly, Chu Nan breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and lunged forward, but he was a step too late. The damned Can'er had already flown over and picked up the dragon-shaped spine that Chu Nan had kicked far away.

Holding the spine, Can'er turned sharply and faced off against Chu Nan, baring its teeth, as if it would attack without hesitation if Chu Nan took another step forward.

Chu Nan stopped, looking at Can'er holding the spine, and suddenly thought of a question. No matter how precious this spine was, Can'er was still just a dog. How could it use this thing?

Its claws were weapons themselves, not as flexible as human hands, which could hold the spine.

Can'er, holding the spine, seemed to have thought of the same problem. Its eyes became strange, and it suddenly dropped the dragon-shaped spine. Then, its gaze fell on Chu Nan's left hand, and it used its front paws to push the spine on the ground.

No matter how smart it was, it was still a dog and couldn't speak human language. However, Chu Nan understood the meaning behind its actions and eyes.

Having been a veterinarian for so many years, Chu Nan was much better at communicating with animals than ordinary people, especially with such a cunning and intelligent mutant dog.

In Chu Nan's left hand was the pangolin king's scale, which he had not discarded even during the fight with the bone monster. Can'er's gaze fell on the scale in his left hand, and it used its front paws to push the spine forward. The meaning was clear to Chu Nan.

Can'er wanted to trade.

To exchange the spine for the pangolin king's scale in his hand.

A dog that does business?

Chu Nan was speechless, but after the earthquake, the entire world had gone mad. Having a dog that could do business wasn't so strange.

The spine was completely useless to Can'er. Its claws couldn't hold the spine to fight, and it couldn't bite it to kill enemies. For Can'er, the spine was like a chicken rib—useless.

But the scale, it could try to wrap or wear it, which would have a defensive effect. Can'er wasn't stupid; it understood in this short moment that although the spine might be a treasure, its value and effect were far less than the pangolin king's scale.

For Chu Nan, it was the opposite. The scale had little practical use for him. He had been puzzled about how to use it since he got it. Now, understanding Can'er's intention, he was willing to trade. The spine had evolved into a dragon shape, and it was likely not an ordinary thing, far more precious than the scale.

Feeling a bit excited, Chu Nan hesitated slightly and then threw the scale diagonally to the other side, about ten meters away, and watched Can'er.

Seeing this, Can'er abandoned the dragon-shaped spine, leaped to the other side, and picked up the pangolin king's scale.

Chu Nan breathed a sigh of relief, flashed to where Can'er had been, and picked up the dragon-like spine.

This peculiar spine was surprisingly heavy, and when held in his hand, it felt weighty. The faint, luminous light on it resonated with the primal force in his body, creating a strange feeling as if it were connected to his flesh and blood.

Almost as soon as he picked up the spine, the magnifying glass in his pocket, which had been inactive, suddenly became hot.

Chu Nan was startled.

The magnifying glass was reacting to the spine? This had only happened before in the church, when everyone fell into a deep sleep, but he remained awake because the magnifying glass suddenly became hot. That was the first time he realized the magnifying glass had other special effects besides absorbing primal force to nourish the atrophied pineal gland.

Now, the magnifying glass was hot again, clearly reacting to the spine.

Can'er picked up the pangolin king's scale and turned to rush out of the main tomb, not staying any longer, and quickly disappeared.

After this series of events, the relationship between Chu Nan and Can'er seemed to have subtly changed. At least, Can'er no longer harbored a deep, unrelenting hatred for him.

Chu Nan watched Can'er disappear with the scale, smiled bitterly, and shook his head. He didn't leave immediately. Since he was alone, he didn't have to worry about leaks and took out the hot magnifying glass from his pocket.

After the bone monster lost its spine, it lost all its strength and became a pile of dry bones. It had no pineal gland or genetic primal force, but its spine was indeed special, as the magnifying glass had reacted to it. When Chu Nan took out the magnifying glass, he found that the heat was gradually fading.

Chu Nan tried to touch the spine with the magnifying glass to see if there would be any reaction. Unexpectedly, the magnifying glass became hot again, and the luminous light on the spine began to be absorbed by the magnifying glass, like a giant whale sucking water. Soon, all the luminous light disappeared, and the surface of the magnifying glass became luminous.

Chu Nan was startled. How had the spine become like ordinary bone? It was as if its spiritual essence had been absorbed by the magnifying glass.

Just as he had this thought, the luminous light in the magnifying glass re-emerged and surged back to the spine. The dragon-shaped spine greedily absorbed the luminous light, and the entire spine seemed to come alive, like a small, spirited dragon, even vibrating slightly.

The aura of the primal force became particularly clear. Chu Nan opened his eyes wide and, through the magnifying glass, was even more shocked to find that the basic components of the spine, the primal force factors, were gradually enlarging. Eventually, they appeared in a dense, orderly arrangement. Through the magnifying glass, Chu Nan could clearly see the basic components of the spine.

"How is this possible... This is just a magnifying glass, and it can do what a microscope can? How many thousands of times does it need to magnify? No... This magnifying glass is strange, so it's not surprising that it has such abilities..."

Chu Nan felt incredulous and marveled. Through the magnifying glass, he could clearly see the primal force factors that made up the spine, each one as white as jade, looking very beautiful. Among these orderly arranged white primal force factors, there were strange genetic forces flowing.

Chu Nan held the spine in his right hand, took a deep breath, and finally understood what the magnifying glass had done when it absorbed and released the luminous light.

Each genetic weapon basically seals a type of genetic force, such as the spider gene in the spider claws, which can release spider silk. However, the genetic force in the genetic weapon is sealed. Chu Nan's spider claws were sealed until he saw the Gaia Monument, and the genetic force in the spider claws was released by the Gaia light from the monument.

Later, he obtained the rhinoceros horn, another genetic weapon, which he gave to Tang Sanli. However, because it was not unsealed by the Gaia light, the rhinoceros horn remained just a powerful weapon and could not release genetic force.

The spine was also a genetic weapon, and the magnifying glass had done what the Gaia Monument's light did, unsealing the genetic force in the spine, allowing it to be released.

When Chu Nan held the spine, he immediately understood the cause and effect because he could feel the special genetic force within the spine.

Holding the spine in his right hand and feeling the genetic force flowing within it, he suddenly swung it.

A slightly blinding luminous light shot out from the spine, cutting through the stone coffin two meters in front of him.

The stone coffin split in two, the cut smooth and even, and a long crack appeared in the rock ground. In the face of the luminous light from the spine, both the rock ground and the stone coffin split like tofu, with no resistance at all.

Seeing the terrifying crack, Chu Nan was stunned by the destructive power of the luminous light from the spine.

"Dragon Legacy Gene" awakened, "Dragon Legacy Flash."

The spine contained the Dragon Legacy Gene, which was now unsealed, and the genetic force was awakened. The luminous flash he had just swung was the "Dragon Legacy Flash," which could cut through rock and stone coffins like tofu. The most terrifying thing was that it could be released from the spine, making it ten times stronger than the spider claws.
