Chapter 686 Dragon Disease
It wasn't until Hayata chopped off the head of the peach-haired beast king that it truly died. This unreasonable vitality made the hunters' scalps numb.
After the battle, she asked Gale Fengtu to pick up the missing herbal villager who was injured and unconscious in the camp, and the group left in a hurry.
Even emergency treatment tasks such as cleaning wounds and simple bandaging were done by the pigs on the back of the strong wind.
It was obvious that she wanted to lead everyone away from the body of the Peach-haired Beast King that still exuded an ominous habitat after death as quickly as possible.
They found a small pool formed by spring water. The pool was not big or deep, but it was enough for them to clean their equipment and bodies.
Before cleaning the equipment, Feng Ying was pressed by Hayata's neck and rinsed her mouth for a long time.
Hayata also asked her to pour as much water as possible. When she couldn't drink it anymore, he would induce vomiting by compressing her abdomen and help her wash her stomach.
After two or three rounds, Feng Ying felt bad.
After his companions, especially the two swordsmen Gordon Fengying, cleaned up the blood on their bodies, Hayata breathed a sigh of relief.
But her expression was still frighteningly gloomy.
Checking the wounds and eyelids of the injured villagers, she said: "We must return to Sinard Village immediately and send an urgent message to the guild to explain what happened here.
Crazy dragon disease has appeared again, and the black dragon at the source of the disease has obviously been eliminated."
Gordon nodded and asked Feng Ying, who was tired from gastric lavage, to ride on Amber. The strong wind carried the wounded, and the whole team hurried back towards the village.
On the way back, Gordon asked about the details of the dragon disease.
Hayata looked remorseful.
Since the source of the dragon disease has been solved, the phenomenon of monsters getting sick and going crazy no longer occurs. Everyone thought that the epidemic was over, so she did not deliberately tell her companions a series of experiences and lessons learned in dealing with infected monsters.
Who would have thought that dragon disease, which originally only occurred in the southern part of the Old World, would suddenly appear in the Sky Mountains thousands of miles away?
“The disease is highly contagious. Have you noticed the black gas that the peach-haired beast king is spitting from its mouth? In fact, that is the virus. This disease can be spread through the air.”
A sudden realization flashed in Gordon's mind.
It’s no wonder that after the death of the Taomao Beast King, his body still gave people a sense of danger, and no wonder that the surrounding air was always filled with an ominous aura.
Is it because of the epidemic?
“Can humans also be infected with dragon disease?” Ancier asked the most critical question.
"meeting."
Hayata nodded, organized his words a little, and continued: "Humans can also be infected with dragon disease, but humans are much more immune to this disease than monsters, while Elu is almost not infected. Some scholars believe that, It's because of body shape.
The method of airborne transmission is ineffective for humans. Infection usually occurs only after being attacked and injured by an infected monster, or directly coming into contact with the monster's blood, saliva and other body fluids. "
An Xil glanced at the herb collecting villager who was in a deep coma and with a huge claw mark on his back, and then at Feng Ying, whose eyes were frightened, with an expression of "Am I going to die?", and she didn't know what to do for a moment. comfort.
Shall I prepare a good land with beautiful mountains and clear waters for you?
Gordon was thinking, and a question suddenly occurred to him, "Hayata, although you never mentioned it in your letter, you should have been infected with dragon disease, right?"
Over the past year or so, at least half of the monsters Hayata hunted were related to dragon disease. As a swordsman, it is impossible to completely avoid blood contact.
“Yeah.” Hayata responded softly.
“So how did you solve your dragon disease?” Gordon asked.
Hayata hesitated for a moment before speaking: "It has not been solved. I am still an infected person, but because of the black dragon armor, the virus in my body has lost its activity, so I have no symptoms and will not infect."
She had discovered before that Hayata always wore inner armor when sleeping, and thought it was to further strengthen the running-in with the equipment. This behavior is not uncommon among hunters.
Originally it was to suppress the virus?
Gordon's expression became more serious, "Is this kind of dragon disease fatal to humans? What are the symptoms?"
“It varies from person to person, but it will not cause death in a short period of time. The guild has specially set up a team of scholars to study the Mad Dragon Virus. The leader is the professor you know from Senior Gordon.
The professor told me that even though the impact of dragon disease on humans is lower than that of large monsters, it will not quickly develop to the point of death, but it may cause people to become weak, have continuous burning pain, and be emotionally violent. The specific manifestations vary from person to person.
For example, Senior Julius of the Bitou Hunting Group was also infected, and his symptoms were weakness. ” replied Hayata.
Gordon clicked his tongue dissatisfied.
Hayata is the same, Julius is the same, who doesn’t tell his friends every time he has a problem?
“Sister Hayata, what are your symptoms?” Feng Ying asked cautiously.
Hayata was silent for a moment, and then said: "I have a relatively strong adaptability to dragon disease. The decline in physical strength has not appeared on me, but there will be burning pain and I will be more irritable, especially when faced with Monster time.
That feeling is similar to when I was crazy about Red Blade before. Maybe I am used to it and I can suppress it with reason.
Furthermore, in the process of fighting monsters, it seems that you can vent your emotions through continuous attacks and 'overcome' that abnormal state. You can use the characteristics of the mad dragon virus to make creatures violent, and increase your strength and reaction speed.
To be honest, this crazy dragon disease really helped me a lot.”
ˆ “.”
Gordon and others were speechless for a moment.
“Maybe my infection symptoms are also like this?” Feng Ying, an optimist, cheered up instantly.
“Hmm.” Hayata pursed her lips and did not throw cold water on her.
In fact, as far as she knows, she is the only special case among all those currently infected with dragon disease. Most people become manic and weak like Julius and the others, with no benefit at all.
Feng Ying was having fun there, but Gordon was not so optimistic.
Looking at the appearance of the peach-haired beast king before, we knew that the so-called mad dragon virus would not be a good thing.
He lowered his voice and asked Hayata: "Besides the special effects of the black dragon armor, are there any other ways to suppress or even cure the dragon disease?"
“The method of suppression is to have the professor develop a medicine that can suppress the Mad Dragon Virus. Senior Julius and the others, including me before we obtained the Black Dragon Armor, relied on that medicine to support us.
There may be some of that medicine left on the Isana, and she can use it on Feng Ying immediately after returning to the village, which may be able to block it.
We have to mention this in the report to the guild later and ask the professor to help them think of a solution.
As for the way to completely solve the Mad Dragon virus, there is no one yet, but the professor and the others have been studying it, and they may have achieved results now. "
Gordon nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, there are ways to suppress it and there is hope for a complete cure.
If Feng Ying really turned into the peach-haired beast king that he killed before, with no reason and crazy attacks, he didn't know how to explain it to Master Puxian and sisters Huo Ya and Shui Yun.
“Gordon Meow”
Zhupa, who had been silent since just now, suddenly said, "Do you think that the 'taboo' that the monk was talking about that destroyed the surrounding ecology, that is, the monster with pure white dragon scales, is possible with the black dragon and the dragon disease?" Is there some kind of relationship, meow?”
Gordon, who had previously focused entirely on Feng Ying's physical condition, turned back in horror and looked to the southwest.
That is the direction of the forbidden area.
