Chapter 692 The truth about reincarnation
"Heavenly Dragon" Gordon repeated the name. He raised his head and looked at the great monk Zheng, "Is this the true name of the pure white dragon recorded in the temple inscription?"
The great monk was shaking his head, "The inscription never mentions these two 'dragons' directly, it always refers to them with words such as light, shadow, pure white, and darkness.
The term "Tianhui Dragon" comes from the word "Tianhui". I don't know if it would be a little strange when translated into common language. The original text in Gulongren language can be understood as "reincarnation of fate" or something like that.
The so-called Tianhui Dragon is also the dragon of destiny. "
“Is there more, more specific information about this creature?”
Anhil asked bluntly: "Judging from the current situation, in order to prevent the endless spread and worsening of the mad dragon disease, we may need to defeat it.
Ecological habits, attribute weaknesses, attack methods, etc., did the great monk leave any records? "
The great monk Zheng was silent for a moment and said: "The description of the Heavenly Huilong itself and the details of the battle in the temple are very vague. It is not that the great monk Zheng likes 'riddles'.
But how should I describe it.
From the lines of inscriptions, ancient documents and other materials, we can feel that the ancestors were afraid of something. They seemed to be worried that the transmission of just a few words would become the carrier of the rebirth of "light" and "shadow". "
“I see, I understand.” The professor who had not spoken before sighed, “The ancient ancestors were limited by technology, so it is normal to have such fears.
I have one more piece of the puzzle, which may be able to answer the last doubt in your mind. "
Everyone’s attention was focused on the old dragon man.
“Black Eclipse Dragon and Heavenly Huilong, well, let’s use these two names. Do you know them, or how this creature reproduces?”
Anhill and Gordon, who had speculated about "transgender" before, looked at each other.
The professor had no intention of waiting for anyone else to speak, and continued: "You guys and Hayata fought against the Black Eclipse Dragon several times, and in the process of being infected with the Crazy Dragon Disease monster, we brought back many biological specimens.
After repeated studies, we found that the scale powder spread by the black dragon is not only the carrier of the mad dragon virus, but also a spore itself and a reproductive cell.
That’s right, Black Eclipse Dragon is a parthenogenetic creature. This reproduction method usually appears in more primitive life forms, such as mushrooms. "
“Countless shadows fall on the earth and grow new shoots. That’s what it means. It turns out that’s what it means. That’s what it means. That’s what it means.” The great monk was murmuring to himself.
Ancier's expression was subtle, "You mean, the Black Eclipse Dragon spreads scale powder, spreads disease and spores, and then new Black Eclipse Dragons grow out of the ground? This is too much."
“It is not sprinkled on the ground, but ‘parasitized’” the professor corrected: “Monsters infected with rabid dragon disease will become a breeding ground for the parasites of the black dragon’s reproductive cells.
As the disease progresses, these germ cells will gradually develop into embryos, larvae, and eventually break out of the body. "
"Breaking out of the body?!" Feng Ying's whole body was numb, and she pressed her belly in horror.
She accidentally swallowed monster blood containing the Mad Dragon virus about ten days ago. When the professor said this, she always felt like she was pregnant with a monster for no reason.
“Don’t worry, humans will get sick, go crazy, and even die because of the rabies virus, but they cannot become a breeding ground for black dragons.”
The professor glanced at Feng Ying, who was running over, and continued: "Because humans do not have enough 'matter' to provide sufficient nutrition and energy for embryonic development.
You have encountered the Peach-haired Beast King who was infected with the dragon disease before, right? It is also impossible for a black dragon to be born in a monster of that size. Perhaps only a large flying dragon can become a real breeding ground. "
“It’s okay, okay.” Feng Ying breathed a sigh of relief and ran back to the corner to continue squatting.
Gordon raised his hand and asked: "Based on the black dragon's ability to spread scale powder and the transmissibility of the mad dragon virus, even large flying dragons are not likely to be infected only one and two.
The hunters were horrified.
The Black Eclipse Dragon's strength is higher than that of ordinary six-star monsters, but it has not reached the level of ancient dragon-level creatures. If it had not been infected with the Mad Dragon Disease and was relatively weak, the Pen Head Hunting Group would not have been defeated by the Black Eclipse Dragon.
but! That's just the case of a black eclipse dragon.
What if there are three heads, five heads, ten heads, or one hundred heads?
Can the hunters cope with it?
The professor pushed up his glasses and said: "Based on the results of the current research, the situation is relatively optimistic. It is very unlikely that the spores spread by the Black Eclipse Dragon will actually grow into embryos, develop into larvae or even adults, and break out of the body." event.
Those germ cells gave me a feeling of being underdeveloped, how to describe it, like trying to gestate a sexually immature larvae.
Theoretically it is possible, but the probability is extremely small. "
Gordon touched his nose. The professor’s metaphor made everyone speechless, but it was also very straightforward and easy to understand.
“The light returns and darkness is born.” The monk who said to himself suddenly raised his head, “The Black Eclipse Dragon is a larvae! So it is difficult to reproduce.
But Tianhuilong is different. Death and rebirth may be necessary steps for this creature to become an adult. Only Tianhuilong is an adult that truly has the ability to reproduce!
If the Heavenly Huilong has really descended on Sky Mountain, then the ‘disaster’ shrouding Sky Mountain will be great.”
“It is really possible to give birth to countless black dragons.” Gordon continued with a calm face.
“Is Tianhuilong the mature individual?”
The professor also nodded, "Although this theory has not yet been confirmed, the possibility is not low. If Tianhuilong is an adult, it is indeed possible for it to reproduce a large number of offspring when it is sexually mature.
From this point of view, the dragon disease that has enveloped Sky Mountain may be different from that in the south of the Old World. We need to confirm this as soon as possible. If this is true, the crusade against the Tianhui Dragon will become an inevitable option.
The guild cannot allow countless black dragons to be born and cause chaos, which may destroy the world.
I need to conduct experiments immediately on samples of infected people with the Madosaurus virus spread by Tianhuilong."
Everyone’s eyes fell on Feng Ying in the corner of the nest.
Feng Ying pointed at herself, "Huh?"
You're not going to dissect yourself, are you? !
"She can't do it. It's useless." The professor frowned, "The Mad Dragon virus and spores in her body have lost their activity under the inhibition of the medicine. I need more 'vivid' specimens."
Feng Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but muttered, "It sounds like we are a pickled salted fish."
Aiden on the side chuckled.
“Fresh samples are not hard to find. We can immediately enter the hunting ground and capture a small monster, such as a velociraptor or a spiritual deer.” Hayata suggested.
“That’s the best.” The professor nodded in agreement.
"Hold on."
Gordon made a gesture to ask Hayata, who was about to get up, to calm down. "Since Tianhuilong is an adult and may be more active in spreading viruses, we can no longer prepare according to the standards for dealing with Black Eclipse Dragon." .
Professor, you mentioned before what the "clue" is to completely solve the disease. Please elaborate on it. "
