Chapter 457 Lenny Vs Jungle Heads 4
Normally, Croc head should still be able to heal a wound to the brain too, but the biology of Lenny’s attack was calculated with precision.
Lenny attacked the frontal lobe but pushed the thick needles all the way to the hippocampus, which plays an important role in memory and learning.
When destroyed, the brain no longer has a means of remembering how to heal, as that function has been taken away.
At the same time, destroying the frontal cortex also meant the destruction of the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making, planning, and self-control, which can be very important in healing mental injuries.
With these two important parts severely damaged, it was not possible for the brain to heal its own injury in time.
It is now a terrible fact that about 75% of the brain is made of liquid. Of which even a reduction of two percent (2%) could cause irreversible consequences.
Before the brain could get itself together, more than ten percent of that valuable liquid had already escaped through Croc head’s orifices.
And the more it leaked out, the more difficult it was to heal.
This cycle, continually repeating itself in a span of seconds, will see that Croc head’s brain will instantly shut off and die.
“In other words,” Lenny explained, “even if he is still alive after that, he will be brain dead, a walking, breathing VEGETABLE! With no sense of ‘Self’ or his environment.”
On hearing this, Rhino head no longer put effort into helping his brother.
He could already see as saliva leaked from the side of Croc head’s mouth.
Those empty sockets looked like they were staring back at him, begging him for revenge.
“LENNY TALES! I will remove your head and place it in my brother’s mouth as repentance as I bury him within the dry ground of the Wastelands!”
Rhino head had said those words with tears leaking from his eyes.
He suddenly turned a corner, and then he leaped forward, and with a smash with his heavy foot for that location in the audience stand, he STUMPED down.
*Earthly Smash!*
Rhino used his ability.
It was like a Level 6 earthquake on Richter’s scale.
The stand literally split in two as the entire arena shook.
Elder Isaiah, who was watching, saw what was happening and frowned. “Activate the Runes!” He instantly ordered a guard.
Instantly, runes appeared, glowing bright red on the walls and all over the arena to negate the effect of the attack.
However, it had not been activated in time, as Lenny’s position was instantly revealed.
“GOT YOU!”
Lenny was surprised by this, after all, all this while, it had been easy for him to slip into the shadows to hide, but in one strike, his position had been instantly revealed.
However, he did not wait, as he immediately rushed for a dark corner again.
As an assassin, the darkness was his home, he dwelled in it like a fish in water.
However, he had only just merged with the darkness before Rhino head made a turn in the opposite direction and lunged forth with a punch.
Lenny managed to dodge in time, but the punch almost crushed his head, only barely missing him a little bit.
This time around, he did not slip into the shadows again.
He landed in the arena.
But his foot had not even touched the ground before he was hit in mid-air by Hippo head, using his stomach. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝑔
Lenny had literally felt the vibrations of the hit course through every fiber of his being. All the way from his muscle fibers to his bones and then through his muscle fibers again, even displacing some of his cells in the process.
Even his organs were shaken by the hit.
He tumbled to the ground again as he coughed up some blood.
Rhino head looked at him and smiled.
“I know, right!? You are wondering how we can track you so effectively. Even though you can hide well.”
Rhino head tapped his nose.
“Our brother’s venom is still in you, wrecking havoc even now. In a few more minutes, you will be dead!”
Slowly, he walked towards Lenny as he cracked his knuckles for a beatdown.
Lenny frowned. He looked to his sides, and it was true.
While he had rushed for Croc Head to stab him in the eyes, Croc Head had also stabbed Lenny with his claws.
At the time, Lenny could have dodged the attack, but that would have been a waste of the opportunity.
After a while, he knew that the Satan system would work on healing his body.
However, healing was proving to be slower than he thought, mainly because he was taking in too much external damage from the continuous attacks by the brothers.
As Rhino head walked steadily towards Lenny, Victor, like the others, watched what was happening, and he panicked.
After all, he and Lenny were now connected by the blood of the primordial beast.
Strictly speaking, if Lenny died, then he was going to die.
He looked around, sighting Perseus on another side.
Victor immediately turned to him.
“Won’t you go down and help him? He is going to die!”
Perseus looked at Victor, and then he snickered, “No! I’m not.”
Victor frowned. “Are you still angry because he made you look like a wimp before Aunt Sam?”
Perseus turned to the young boy and shook his head.
“Trust me, it’s nothing like that. If I could help, I would. Aside from the fact that my strength is not enough to challenge these people, if I go down there, I will most definitely die.”
Victor frowned even tighter. “So you are afraid of going to help because you are afraid of dying at the hands of the mutated humans?”
Victor suddenly thought Perseus was a coward.
However, Perseus shook his head as he pointed at the person slowly rising to his feet in the arena.
“No! If I go down there and interrupt his fun, Lenny is going to kill me…”
