CH 15

Teacher Xuan Hui didn’t pay any attention to the golden-red blood still gathering on the Golden Crow’s beak after distributing all the blood droplets floating in the air. He instead pushed the Golden Crow’s corpse back to the center of the table.

He placed a small knife in the center of the Golden Crow’s chest along the keel protrusion. The small knife gently cut across the Golden Crow’s entire chest. It only stopped just before reaching the tail.

The knife in Teacher Xuan Hui’s hand was very sharp. It cut open the Golden Crow’s chest without receiving any resistance at all.

Yan Jia noticed that some feathers were gently scratched by the knife while others were cut entirely in one stroke.

The feathers and skin on the Golden Crow’s chest slowly slid along the opening. Perhaps it was because the blood was almost flowing out, or perhaps it was because Teacher Xuan Hui’s skill was superb. After avoiding the Golden Crow’s blood vessels, the chest that was cut open by the small knife did not bleed.

The entire Golden Crow’s blood seemed to have gathered on the wound on its neck. Even though the entire chest had been cut open by Teacher Xuan Hui, there was no blood flowing out, but there was still blood flowing slowly from the wound on its neck.

Another slash. 

The blade cut open the flesh on the side of the Golden Crow’s chest, revealing its ribs.

Teacher Xuan Hui gently broke through the ribs. Yan Jia noticed that the Golden Crow’s bones that were broken by Teacher Xuan Hui were solid. Pure golden bone marrow flowed out. However, this time, the other party did not ignore it as if it was blood. He proceeded to gently collect all the bone marrow that flowed out.

Finally, Teacher Xuan Hui pulled out the Golden Crow’s heart, a heart slightly bigger than an ordinary person’s.

“The Golden Crow’s heart is very similar to a human’s heart, but in terms of overall mass, it is half to one whole heavier than a human’s heart. Not only the Golden Crow, but most of the bird life forms, even when their bodies are the same size. Their hearts are also bigger than a human’s.”

Teacher Xuan Hui raised the Golden Crow’s heart in its hand and slowly circled around the platform, hoping the surrounding students could see it more clearly.

A heat wave struck Yan Jia when Teacher Xuan Hui approached him. Even Yan Jia couldn’t help but sweat a little. As for Gou Teng and the surrounding students, they were already drenched in sweat.

At the same time, as the Golden Crow’s heart approached, the fragrance that had been lingering in the classroom became even stronger. By the time Teacher Xuan Hui arrived in front of Yan Jia, the fragrance had also reached its peak.

This made Yan Jia feel like he was drunk, and this feeling increased as Teacher Xuan Hui approached.

Only when Teacher Xuan Hui had walked far away did Yan Jia regain his senses. He even failed to properly observe the specific condition of the heart before he half-fainted.

The fragrance became lighter when the heart was a certain distance away. Only then could Yan Jia carefully observe the heart in Teacher Xuan Hui’s hands.

The Golden Crow heart in Teacher Xuan Hui’s hand was almost identical to the human heart in various parts, except that it was much larger than a human one. Not only because the size of that Golden Crow was larger than expected but also because, as Teacher Xuan Hui said, even if it was the same size, the Golden Crow, and even the vast majority of bird life, would exceed humans in the size of their hearts.

However, it was a little longer and thinner in overall appearance than a human heart.

As Teacher Xuan Hui exerted his strength, drops of golden blood slowly seeped out from the bottom right side of the heart. The drops gathered at the bottom of the heart and were carefully collected by Teacher Xuan Hui.

Only now did everyone realize there was a tiny wound on the right side of the heart. If it wasn’t for the drop of golden blood that had a different color from the rest, Yan Jia wouldn’t have noticed it at all.

After displaying the Golden Crow’s heart, Teacher Xuan Hui placed the heart next to the corpse and continued to work on the chest.

Next, Teacher Xuan Hui emptied the entire chest of the Golden Crow. The internal organs of the Golden Crow were placed around the heart one after another. It was then that Yan Jia realized that the internal structure of the Golden Crow was different from the structure of the birds in his previous life.

The Golden Crow’s internal organs were unlike the airbags and hollow bones that birds evolved to reduce their weight in his previous life. Instead, they were very similar to humans. It possessed the same two lung structures, and the bones were also filled with golden bone marrow.

However, it made sense the more he thought about it. In his previous life, many birds put much effort into evolving with flying capabilities. It took many generations to reduce the weight of their organs and bones.

In this world, feathers and wings were icing on the cake for flying.

If you want to rely on the wings to fly at supersonic speeds, dream on.

And in this world, even though the Golden Crow in front of them had already cooled down, no, it was still warm; when he was alive, although he was not yet an adult, he could easily fly at supersonic speeds.

As Teacher Xuan Hui moved, the blood flowing out from the wound on the Golden Crow’s neck became less and less. It almost stopped flowing out. But quite a bit of golden-red blood was still accumulated on the table.

As the range of the Golden Crow’s accumulating fresh blood grew larger and larger, a drop of golden-red fresh blood finally broke free from the table’s constraints and dripped from the tabletop onto the platform.

“Chi!”

The moment the golden-red blood touched the platform, a wisp of white smoke rose. Only now did Yan Jia realize that the platform had many similar-looking small holes.
