  Chapter 706 Professor's Research

  Seeing the impatient look of the old man, Gordon took out the big bag of dragon worms.

  Looking at the dense pile of worm corpses, broken or intact, the professor couldn't help feeling, "This is the first time I've seen so many dragon-eating worms appearing at once."

  Alva next to him frowned, looking pained.

  As a scribe who studies biology, he also has a collection of rare insects such as dragon worms.

   He spent a large amount of his savings on the purchase, which belongs to the kind of specimen that has been carefully air-dried and stored in a brocade box full of cushions.

  You are wearing a sackcloth bag, at first glance you might think it is a big bag of fallen leaves.

   "Why don't you leave it to me to sort and deal with it?" Alva hugged the basin of viscera and said, "The broken ones must be separated from the complete ones, and they need to be dried in the shade to preserve them."

   "The concubine is also here to help." The assistant lady put down the form used to record the data in her hand, and walked over with great interest, "After finishing the arrangement, can I trade two complete ones for the concubine?"

  Gordon agreed very readily. They brought back a lot of dragon worms this time, not missing one or two.

   Alva and his assistant dumped the dragon worms into a large dustpan, and prepared to take them to a bright outdoor place to complete the initial sorting.

  Compared to the careful appearance of the two of them, the professor seemed much more casual. He grabbed a handful of finely chopped insect corpses and threw them into the medicine twister, creaking and grinding them.

  Gordon pulled up a chair and sat down beside the professor.

   While looking at the professor's movements curiously, he asked about the research of the mad dragon virus.

   "In the living biological specimens brought back by Hayata and the others, we found that the kuangosaurus virus and spores were more active, and the previous guess should be correct.

   It is not the ordinary black erosion dragon that spreads the mad dragon virus in Tiantian Mountain, it is very likely the so-called sky dragon.

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

   "Is there really a sky dragon?" Gordon said to himself.

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

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

   "So, if the virus and spores are more active, will it affect the effect of the inhibitory potion and the anti-dragon stone?" Gordon asked the question he really cared about.

  I just hope that the professor won't give him the worst conclusion that "the anti-dragon stone is useless, and the prison wolf and dragon will fight for nothing".

  Professor paused the movement of his hands, put down the roller, pushed the glasses and said: "There is an impact, and in areas with a high concentration of the mad dragon virus, such as around large infected monsters, the effect of the inhibitory agent is obviously reduced.

   Except for Anshir, who is not an infected person, everyone from Hariyata and the pen hunters have raised this point. "

  Such an answer made Gordon's complexion ugly.

  Professor comforted: "But you don't have to worry too much, the so-called decline of drug effect is not invalid, but the mad dragon virus that should have been completely inactivated in the infected person has shown signs of 'recovery'.

  Specific manifestations are increased aggression, easy irritability, etc., which are very similar to the early symptoms of kuanglong disease infection.

  A strong-willed person can use reason to suppress these emotional impulses, and as long as they leave the area covered by the mad dragon virus, the virus in their body will be silenced again. "

Speaking of 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 restriction during hunting, and played the 'overcome' enhancement again. that set.

   also played a "limitation" title.

  To be honest, at the moment when it is not completely sure whether there will be some sequelae, the old man definitely does not advocate this approach. "

  Gordon asked with a dry smile, "Is that guy Julius?"

"no."

   "Could it be Nadia or Senior Will?"

"no."

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

  Professor was silent for a few seconds, and sighed: "Actually, the old man can understand the child's choice at that time, the Thunder Dragon she faced has entered the final stage of infection.

  If there was no way to kill it as soon as possible at that time, it might take a few minutes, maybe a few hours, or a few days at most, and the black erosion dragon would break out of its cocoon. "

   "Has the epidemic in Sky Mountain developed to this point?" Gordon frowned.

   "You can't say that, it's just that the Booming Dragon has the deepest infection, and it may even be one of the first infected people. It's luck 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 Dragon that Hayata hunted, the Thunder Wolf Dragon that Julius dealt with was also quite deeply infected.

  Will the heavy beetles they hunt are less infected, maybe because the beetle species are not very compatible with the kuangosaurus virus?

   The dragon that Anshir dealt with wasn't even infected, so it was a bit unfair to die.

   All in all, the large monsters that could "hatch" the black erosion 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, just about to say something, suddenly realized that the topic was a little off, and quickly returned to the original question, "Professor, you just said that the effect of the inhibitory potion has weakened.

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

   To be honest, if the Anti-Dragon Stone cannot achieve the desired effect, it will be too difficult to solve the source of the mad dragon disease, and the best result is to die together.

  Professor showed a smile on his serious face, "From the current situation, no, we used the semi-finished anti-dragon stone and the live infection samples brought back by Hayata and the others to conduct experiments.

   Judging 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 erosion dragon and the highly active virus that is currently covering Sky Mountain. "

   "Unexpectedly?" Gordon was surprised, "No effect at all?"

   "Well, the inhibitory potion and the anti-dragon stone are two different concepts, and the mechanism of action is completely different."

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

  Inhibitory medicine can be understood as some kind of vaccine, its function is to silence the mad dragon virus and spores, just like when they are not activated in the black erosion dragon.

  The Anti-Dragon Stone can be regarded as a radioactive source, just like an ice cube will gradually melt when it is close to the flame, the dragon-attributed energy emitted by the Anti-Dragon Stone will also gradually kill the mad dragon virus. "

   "It sounds like it's been roasted." Pig Chop muttered aside.

  Gordon asked following the statement of the pork chop, "If you are 'roasted' by dragon energy for such a long time, will it have any adverse effects on your body?"

   "Basically not." The professor looked Gordon up and down a few times, "Even if it has an impact, it is far inferior to this equipment on you, it is simply the difference between a match and a fire.

  By the way, I heard from Hayata that you were also splashed with the blood of a monster infected with kuanglong disease before, but there was no sign of infection at all, which should be due to the armor you are wearing. "

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

   So it was because of this?
