Chapter 706 Professor’s Research

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

Looking at the densely packed piles 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."

Next to him, Alva 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.

It cost him a lot of savings to buy it. It is a kind of specimen that has been carefully 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.

What you are carrying in your linen bag may look like a big bag of fallen leaves at first glance.

"How about you leave it to me to sort and process it?" Alva took the initiative, holding the basin of internal organs and said: "The broken and intact ones need to be separated, and they 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 dragonworms into a large dustpan and prepared to take them to a brightly lit outdoor place to complete the initial sorting.

Compared with the two people who were careful and gentle, the professor looked much more casual. He grabbed a handful of finely chopped insect corpses, threw them into the medicine twister, and started grinding them.

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

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

"Among the live biological specimens brought back by Hayata and his colleagues, we found that the rabies virus and spores were more active. Our previous guesses should be correct.

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

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

"Is there really a Celestial Dragon?" Gordon muttered 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 prison wolf dragon was in vain".

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

Except for the non-infected Ansil, everyone in Hayata and the Bihead Hunting Group raised this point."

Such an answer made Gordon's face look ugly.

The professor comforted him: "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 dragon virus in the infected person's body that should have been completely inactivated.

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

People 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 the body 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’s also called “extreme”.

To be honest, I definitely do not advocate this approach when we are not completely sure 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 we didn't try to kill him as soon as possible, it might take a few minutes, a few hours, or at most a few days before the Black Erosion Dragon would break out of its cocoon."

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

"It can't be said that, it's just that the Honglong dragon is the most infected. It may even be one of the first infected people. 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 that Hayata hunted, the Thunder Wolf Dragon that Julius dealt with was also quite deeply infected.

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

The fire dragon that Ancil killed was not even infected with the disease, so 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, and was about to say something when he suddenly realized that the topic was a bit crooked and 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 the Dragon Resistance Stone be affected too?"

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 conducted experiments using the semi-finished anti-dragon stone and the living infection samples brought back by Hayata and the others.

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 currently covering Sky Mountain."

"Really?" Gordon was surprised, "It doesn't affect it at all?"

"Well, inhibitory potion 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.

The inhibitory drug 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 from the side.

Gordon followed what Pork Chop said and asked, "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, "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-infected monster before, but there was no sign 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 peach-haired beast king's blood splashed on him, and the dragon's energy flames burst into flames.

Was it because of this?
