Facts proved that it was necessary to eliminate factors that might affect a dissection experiment in advance.
The Blue Poison Monkey on the dissection table had been cut open perfectly. Even the direction of its muscles and the adhesions of its fascia had been cleanly separated.
Most important was the Blue Poison Monkey's palm. The poison gland was hidden within its thick fingers, in the gaps between bone and flesh.
A thick blue liquid flowed across the metal tabletop, originating from the severed palm. It seeped from tiny gaps in the fingers as though pricked by needles.
This was the Supernatural Toxin Wang Ya needed: Blue Poison.
The Blue Poison Monkey had also received its name from this unusually colored Supernatural Toxin.
One only had to move closer to smell its milk-like scent, yet it carried a lethal threat to ordinary people.
Even a First-level Wizard Apprentice would find it difficult to withstand such a toxin. It would stiffen the body and render it unable to move. This was not paralysis, but the severing of blood circulation within the body, damaging its functions.
Compared to Scarlet Scale Toxin, it was several degrees more potent. Their similar properties stirred Wang Ya's urge to investigate whether the two could be combined to form an even more powerful Supernatural Toxin.
But he had failed.
His failure had not been that the two Supernatural Toxins could not fuse, but in the process of collecting and extracting Blue Poison.
While extracting the toxin, the other Blue Poison Monkey's howls and struggling, accompanied by the foul odor of excrement and urine spilling everywhere, had inevitably affected him.
One tiny mistake had caused this dissection experiment to fail.
Wang Ya's expression darkened slightly as his gaze fell on the bound Blue Poison Monkey, whose eyes rolled as tears streamed down its face. He had made a grave mistake—one he should never have made.
No Wizard Experiments could tolerate any disturbance. Wizards would completely seal off their living areas and set up wizard formations for isolation.
Everything needed in a Wizard Laboratory would be prepared beforehand. Not a single item useless to the experiment would be allowed inside.
He did not make excuses for himself. He had immersed himself in the experiment and subconsciously failed to consider certain things... Wrong was wrong.
No one was incapable of making mistakes. What mattered was never making the same mistake a second time.
He drew a deep breath and eased his somber mood. The Blue Poison flowing across the metal table had been exposed to the air for some time, and its activity had greatly diminished. It was useless to Wang Ya now. Only Blue Poison preserved within a body or poison gland could maintain its activity.
For this reason, Wang Ya had found a Micro-incubation Chamber in the Nurturing Chamber. Roughly palm-sized, it was specially used to cultivate Microscopic Matter such as Supernatural Toxins and Supernatural Bloodline Factors.
The dissected poison gland and the Blue Poison it secreted should have been placed into the Incubation Chamber immediately. Only afterward could Wizard methods be used to extract a true sample of supernatural Blue Poison.
Determining its differences and commonalities with Scarlet Scale Toxin, and whether the two could possibly fuse, would also require careful observation afterward—allowing the two toxins to mingle and recording the variables.
Wang Ya placed the failed Blue Poison Monkey's corpse into the Disposal Box in the Nurturing Chamber. Cleaning the dissection table was even more convenient, as it was automated. Special liquid substances were secreted inside to eliminate the activity of all bacterial colonies.
As the dissection table gradually became clean and orderly, Wang Ya's mood returned to its original calm. Emotional fluctuations were the greatest taboo during Wizard Experiments. Even the smallest dissection experiment was no exception.
The metal surface began to heat up, evaporating the last drop of bacterial liquid and leaving it spotless as new.
It had to be said that the transformation brought by Wizard Technology had changed the entire Wizard World. This dissection table, for example, employed a great deal of Wizard Technology. At the same time, Mechanical Wizards had established reasonable standards for Wizard Experiments.
According to records in the Wizard Chronicle, before the Mechanical Wizard system had emerged, Wizards had still been relatively bloody and barbaric. Wizard Experiments had been extremely imprecise, and they had not correctly understood their requirements. They treated experimental subjects brutally and often neglected minor factors during experiments, resulting in a very high failure rate for Wizard Experiments.
Even the relatively better Elemental Wizard system could not avoid this. There had once been an era when Wizard development reached its peak, and the demand for Wizard Experiments could only be described as madness. In pursuit of Truth and the answers they desired, powerful Wizards had even used an entire world as their experiment field. They scattered Supernatural Viruses they had developed throughout that Small World, intending to use natural elimination and the evolutionary theory of Survival of the Fittest to perfect the flaws in their Supernatural Viruses.
There was even less need to mention Black Wizards, Dream Wizards, and Bloodline Wizards. They conducted Wizard Experiments most frequently, and their experimental subjects included humans, animals, Supernatural Lifeforms, and even Wizards of their own kind. Who would not be curious about the changes in a Wizard's Particle Radiation Variation Value, the process of cellular evolution, or whether the soul and mind changed when subjected to extreme torment? And what was a Wizard's Dream of Consciousness like?
The information Wang Ya now understood and the Supernatural Knowledge he had learned could not possibly have been inherited without the knowledge passed down from that mad era.
Of course, dark history such as forcibly combining Wizards with Supernatural Lifeforms to study whether a Wizard's supernatural physique could merge with a Supernatural Lifeform's bloodline had been concealed.
Wang Ya had seen it in a highly obscure work on the bookshelf, the Theory of Wizard Madness.
It had even given rise to Warlock Families. They were generally humanoid, but certain abnormalities were unavoidable, depending on how rich the Supernatural Bloodline within them was. Powerful Bloodline Wizards were particularly fond of such special experimental subjects.
They were far too scarce now. Those who still existed had banded together, loudly demanding Wizard Rights and claiming to be Wizards as well. They were in name, at least. As for whether Wizards truly acknowledged them in their hearts or discriminated against them, that was unknown.
The last Blue Poison Monkey was bound and secured on the Experimental Dissection table.
Wang Ya's gaze was exceptionally serious. He would not make the same mistake again.
The hand gripping the Wizard Dissection Knife was powerful and utterly steady.
Before the Blue Poison Monkey could scream or howl, a cold flash streaked out, and its windpipe was completely removed. The bloody hollow rose and fell, expelling gusts of air that reeked of blood.
When Wang Ya struck again and removed its reproductive organs, blood only slowly began to seep from the tiny wound in its windpipe.
He would absolutely never make the same mistake again.
He even made a decision in his heart: whenever he performed experimental dissections in the future, so long as it was a live dissection, he would first remove these two parts and eliminate every unstable factor.
As for anesthetics?
Wang Ya's technique was fast, and his knife was even faster. Anesthetics would damage the body's most instinctive responses, making accurate experimental data impossible to obtain.
Wizards never administered anesthetics to experimental subjects.
