At this moment, upon closer inspection, these two corpses don't have any so-called clothes on them at all.

What Jiang Yiyi mentioned earlier as 'strange clothing' was likely because these protruding scales, when seen from a distance, indeed appear somewhat like clothing, covering the necessary parts.

But the face and arms, however, appear normal, almost like those of humans.

"Alien race?"

Yang Yuan frowned: "Are these the original inhabitants of this world, or were they brought from Earth, swallowed by this world?"

However, whether they are an alien race absorbed into this world or its original inhabitants,

these two corpses are undoubtedly alien.

Because aside from the scales, their features are completely unlike humans from Earth.

No one from the existing hundred plus countries on Earth looks like this.

Yang Yuan was confident he was not mistaken and didn't think these two corpses were mutants transformed from humans.

In this pit, apart from the two corpses, there were also two completely broken wooden bows.

Additionally, there was a bone that had snapped in two.

Yang Yuan picked up the bone to have a look, found it was just an ordinary bone, and then casually tossed it aside.

He casually picked up one of the corpses and started walking back, intending to show it to Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi. When he lifted the corpse by the leg, he suddenly paused: "Huh, is this a female?"

If it weren't for the leg being lifted and revealing a blasted and distorted scale, he wouldn't have noticed.

The female alien was truly undistinguishable, covered entirely in scales, not a single raised spot visible.

No breasts?

"Could it be this species isn't a mammal?"

Yang Yuan didn't dwell on it further and carried the corpse onto the crow's back.

...

Because Jiang Yiyi could sense the situation within a thousand-meter radius, the two women were already waiting outside the Safe House when the crow returned.

Yang Yuan jumped off the crow's back with the corpse, tossing it in front of Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi.

Jiang Yiyi was startled and stepped back, but immediately, as if she remembered something, she bravely stepped forward again, widening her eyes to scrutinize the strange corpse.

"This… isn't human?!"

Zhao Jiayan asked in surprise: "The face and palms resemble humans, but the rest are entirely covered in scales…"

She dared to squat down for a closer inspection and suddenly realized: "It has gills, it seems to be an aquatic species. Even if not aquatic, it belongs to amphibious types."

"Gills?"

Previously, Yang Yuan hadn't noticed because the lighting over there was too dim.

Zhao Jiayan took out her small knife and tried cutting the scales on the corpse, but found she couldn't cut through.

So, she tried cutting the skin on the face and found she still couldn't cut it.

"Its strength must be very high, at least at the human level. I remember the zombies brought by Wu Chengxin's group were also at the human level, yet they shattered under your gunfire, but this corpse remained intact. Its strength is probably stronger than those zombies."

Zhao Jiayan continued her examination because suddenly encountering an alien race, she needed to understand this species' weaknesses to avoid trouble in future encounters.

As she examined down to the waist of the corpse, she found a displaced scale and suddenly paused, subconsciously looking up to see Yang Yuan watching her with a smile.

At once, she rolled her eyes, but said solemnly: "Looks like it's a female alien, and still an oviparous species."

"It likely is oviparous; let me scan it with a printer."

Yang Yuan took out a printer and used the scan function to scan the corpse on the ground, creating a model on the display screen.

After successful modeling, he magnified the model, making it transparent.

Zhao Jiayan stood up and looked at the model on the display screen: "The body size is similar to humans, but this species' appearance has no distinction between genders, quite strange."

"Probably like fish, you can't tell their gender from the outside. Of course, outsiders can't tell; they probably distinguish among themselves… Huh, what is this?"

Suddenly, Yang Yuan enlarged the model and discovered that inside the chest cavity of this alien corpse, there was a crystal.

Zhao Jiayan exclaimed: "Looks a bit like a Spirit Monster Core; could this alien be a spirit monster?"

"Spirit monster?"

Yang Yuan also showed a puzzled expression. In this world's species, like alien beasts and fierce birds, they all lack cores.

Only demons and ghosts qualify as spirit monsters, possessing a Spirit Monster Core inside.

"Let's look at other parts." Zhao Jiayan suggested.

"Sure."

Yang Yuan maneuvered the model on the display screen; being in a transparent state, it revealed the model's internal organs, etc.

"This… should be an air sac, indeed structured like a fish… and this… should be its..." Zhao Jiayan paused.

"Uterus."

Yang Yuan finished for her, saying: "It's vastly different from humans, and for some reason, I always feel a sense of incongruity."

Zhao Jiayan frowned and suddenly said: "Is this sense of incongruity because this species' internal structure is too simplistic? Does it feel like corners were cut?"

"Exactly." Yang Yuan snapped his fingers: "That's the feeling. You see, inside its body, there's only a Spirit Monster Core, a straight intestine, a stomach sac, a uterus, and then nothing else. It's so peculiar; it lacks a liver and kidneys... without these organs, how does it produce hormones?"

"Could it be that the Spirit Monster Core substitutes the functions of these organs?" Zhao Jiayan asked.

"It's possible; I'll extract the core to see if it truly is a Spirit Monster Core."
