Chapter 706 Professor’s Research

Seeing the old man's impatience, Gordon took out the large bag of dragon-eating insects.

Looking at the dense pile of broken or complete insect corpses, the professor couldn't help but sigh, "This is the first time I have seen such a large number of dragon-eating insects appearing at one time."

Alva next to him frowned, looking like he was in pain.

As a scholar who studies biology, he also has a collection of rare insects such as dragon-eating insects.

He spent a large amount of his savings when purchasing it. It is a specimen that has been carefully air-dried and stored in a brocade box full of soft cushions. He takes it out every day to look at it carefully for fear of damaging it.



"How about you leave it to me to sort and process it?" Alva took the initiative, holding the basin of internal organs: "The broken ones need to be separated from the complete ones, and they also need to be dried and preserved."

"I'm here to help." The assistant lady put down the form used to record the data in her hand and walked over with interest. "After the sorting is completed, can you trade two complete ones for me?"

Gordon agreed readily. They brought back a lot of dragon-eating insects this time, no less than one or two.

Alva and his assistant poured the dragon-eating insects into a wide dustpan and prepared to take them to a brightly lit outdoor place to complete the initial sorting.

Compared to the careful and careful manner of the two of them, the professor looked much more casual. He casually grabbed a handful of finely chopped insect corpses and threw them into the medicine twister, grinding them with a squeaking sound.

Gordon pulled up a chair and sat down next to the professor.

While observing the professor's movements curiously, he asked about the research on the mad dragon virus.

“In the living biological specimens brought back by Hayata and the others, we found that the activity of the rabies virus and spores was higher, and our previous guesses should be correct.

The one that is spreading the Mad Dragon Virus in Sky Mountain today is not an ordinary Black Eclipse Dragon, it is most likely the so-called Sky Dragon.

 Of course, this is just a guess based on existing conditions and findings and cannot be used as a conclusion. "

 “Is there really a heavenly dragon?” Gordon said to himself.

 He selectively ignored the professor's last sentence. Scholars pursue academic rigor, but he is not a scholar.

In his opinion, as long as this guess is logically consistent and consistent with the information currently available, it can probably be regarded as that.

“So, if the virus and spores are more active, will it affect the effectiveness of the inhibitory medicine and anti-dragon stone?” Gordon asked the question that he was really concerned about.

 I just hope that the professor will not give him the worst conclusion that "the anti-dragon stone is useless, and the war against the prison wolf dragon was in vain."

The professor paused his movements, put down the roller, pushed up his glasses and said, "There is an impact. In areas with a high concentration of the Mad Dragon virus, such as around large infected monsters, the effect of the inhibitory agent is significantly reduced.

 Except for the non-infected Anhil, Hayata and everyone in the Pen Head Hunting Group have all raised this point. "

Such an answer made Gordon's face look ugly.

The professor comforted: "But you don't have to worry too much. The so-called decline in drug efficacy is not a failure, but there are signs of 'revival' of the rabies virus that should have been completely inactivated in the infected person's body.

 The specific manifestations include increased aggression, easy irritability, etc., which are very similar to the early symptoms of typhoid infection.

Those with a strong will can suppress these emotional impulses with reason, and as long as they leave the area covered by the Mad Dragon virus, the virus in their bodies will become silent again. "

Having said this, the professor paused, glanced at Gordon and said meaningfully: "A certain guy who is particularly adaptable to the Mad Dragon Virus even deliberately lifted the restrictions during hunting and played the 'overcoming' enhancement again. That set.

　　It also has the title of “extremeization”.

To be honest, I definitely do not advocate this approach when it is not completely certain whether it will leave any sequelae. "

Gordon smiled dryly and asked: "Is it that guy Julius?"

"no."

“Is it Nadia or Senior Will?”

"no."

“.Okay, I’ll teach her a lesson later.”

The professor was silent for a few seconds and sighed: "Actually, I can understand the child's choice at that time. The dragon she faced has entered the final stage of infection.

If you don’t think of a way to kill it as soon as possible, it may take a few minutes, a few hours, or at most a few days before the Black Erosion Dragon will break out of its cocoon. "

“Has the epidemic in Sky Mountain reached this point?” Gordon frowned.

“You can’t say that. It’s just that the Thunder Dragon is the most infected. It may even be one of the first infected. It’s lucky that Hayata can meet and solve it in time.

 Judging from the monster tissue samples brought back by several other people, in addition to the Thunder Wolf Dragon hunted by Hayata, the Thunder Wolf Dragon that Julius dealt with was also deeply infected.

The heavy beetles that Will hunted were less infected, maybe because the beetle species are not very compatible with the rabies virus?

The fire dragon that Ancier solved was not even infected with the disease, and his death was somewhat unjust.

All in all, the large monsters that could 'hatch' the black dragon in the Sky Mountain area have been eliminated, and the remaining infected bodies are being eliminated in an orderly manner. The remaining problems are basically concentrated on the 'source'. "

Gordon nodded. He was about to say something when he suddenly realized that the topic was a bit crooked. He quickly returned to the original question, "Professor, you just said that the effect of the inhibitory drug has been weakened.

 So what about the Dragon Resistance Stone? Will Dragon Resistance Stones be affected as well? "

To be honest, if the anti-dragon stone cannot achieve the expected effect, it will be too difficult to solve the source of the mad dragon disease. The best result is to die together.

A smile appeared on the professor's serious face, "Judging from the current situation, no, we used the half-finished anti-dragon stone and the living infection sample brought back by Hayata and the others to conduct experiments.

From the experimental results, the inactivation effect of the anti-dragon stone is basically the same on the mad dragon virus released by the black dragon and the highly active virus currently covering Sky Mountain. "

 “Really?” Gordon was surprised, “It has no effect at all?”

“Well, inhibitory agent and anti-dragon stone are two different concepts, and their mechanisms of action are completely different.”

The professor continued to crush the fragments of dragon-eating insects while explaining: "This description may not be accurate, but you can understand it this way.

 Suppressive medicine can be understood as a kind of vaccine. Its function is to silence the mad dragon virus and spores, just like they do when they are not activated in the black dragon's body.

The anti-dragon stone can be regarded as a radioactive source. Just like ice will gradually melt when it is close to a flame, the dragon-attribute energy emitted by the anti-dragon stone will gradually kill the mad dragon virus. "

 “It sounds like it’s been roasted, meow.” Pig Chop muttered at the side.

Gordon followed what Pork Chop said and asked, "If it is 'roasted' by dragon energy for such a long time, will it have any adverse effects on the body?"

"Basically not." The professor looked Gordon up and down, "Even if it has an impact, it is far less than the equipment you are wearing. It is simply the difference between a match and a fire.

By the way, I heard from Hayata that you were splashed with the blood of a dragon disease-infected monster before, but you showed no signs of infection at all. This should be the result of this set of armor on your body. "

Gordon couldn't help but recall the scene when the blood of the peach-haired beast king splashed on him, and the dragon's energy flames burst into flames.

  So it’s because of this?
