After returning to Great Qin, Zhao Fu wanted to understand the special traits of the creatures beyond the realm as well, so that killing them would be easier in the future. Thus, he personally went to observe the research.
Great Qin now had several hundred thousand scholars responsible for research. They included not only humans, but also Gnomes, Elves, and all manner of other races. Every one of them possessed high intelligence and was highly suited to being a researcher.
Because the matter of the battlefield beyond the realm was of tremendous importance, Zhao Fu ordered Bai Shan to gather Great Qin's finest researchers and begin studying the creatures beyond the realm.
The first captured fiery-red ant was tied to a stone platform. Numerous scholars began dissecting it, separating its blood, organs, flesh, and limbs, after which they gathered around the samples and began their research.
They also used all sorts of things for testing. For example, they used ordinary swords to stab at the fiery-red ant's shell, tested its blood with various instruments, and injected some of that blood into rabbits.
The flesh was also carefully sliced into strips along its grain with small knives, and subjected to all kinds of tests.
Afterward, they dissected another dozen or so creatures beyond the realm, and the scholars reached a conclusion.
Holding a document, Bai Shan began reporting, "Your Majesty! After preliminary research, we have found that the physiques of creatures beyond the realm possess a certain defensive effect against the spiritual energy of Apocalypse World. If attacked with spiritual energy, the power will be weakened."
"Furthermore, the defenses of creatures beyond the realm are generally stronger than those of creatures of the same level, and they also carry an aura of chaos. Ordinary swords cause very little damage to them."
