Chapter 686: On the Conquest of Single-Celled Organisms
Crystal Palace Research Institute.
Bai Qi looked at the drop of black liquid in the reagent bottle without blinking, for fear of missing something.
After a long time, Bai Qi finally lost his patience, looked at a young bronze dragon beside him, and said: "Bullskin snake, speed up."
"Look at me!"
After hearing this, Bullskin Snake suddenly became energetic, his eyes sharpened, he took a deep breath, and then spit it out into the reagent bottle.
In an instant, saliva splashed everywhere, Bai Qi and the reagent bottle were splashed all over, and the veins on his forehead couldn't help but burst.
"Cowskin Snake...are you really sure you have mastered the Breath of Time?"
Bai Qi looked at the Bullskin Snake speechlessly. If Delta hadn't come out from the Candle Dragon Secret Realm, and the Bullskin Snake had already taken the form of a bronze dragon, Bai Qi would never have believed this guy.
"Forget it, we have roughly analyzed the principle of the death virus anyway."
Bai Qi wiped the saliva from his face and looked at the rows of petri dishes on the side. What were placed in them were body tissues taken from dead animals.
After returning, Bai Qi conducted detailed research on the original solution of the death virus and the dead beasts, and roughly figured out how the death virus spreads.
To put it simply, there are two ways in which dead viruses spread. One is self-division. This method will proceed slowly even if there is no host, and will retain its strength.
However, according to the data Bai Qi has collected so far, the death virus divides itself very slowly. Bai Qi has roughly judged that it will take at least once a week to divide.
And this may be the reason why he found the Bronze Dragon Secret Realm fragments in that pool.
Another way is to spread through contact and corrode the body. This mode of spread is very fast, but will gradually be diluted due to rapid division. This is also the reason why the dead beast will become weaker and weaker.
Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. They take two paths of quality and quantity respectively. If they are allowed to spread, it will still be quite troublesome.
"The principle of virus spread has been found, and the next step is to find ways to resolve it."
Bai Qi rubbed his chin, looked at Jetta who was still pouring potion into it, and said, "Jetta, have you found any restraint potion?"
Hululu~
(Not yet. These potions are not good for oil and salt. I plan to give poison a try~)
Jetta shook his head. This death virus is very stubborn. So far, except for the ice attribute that can curb its spread, other attributes have no effect.
"Fighting fire with fire? It's not impossible."
Bai Qi shrugged and had no intention of stopping Jetta.
Although it is a bit suspected of drinking poison to quench thirst, it is better than letting the death virus spread.
I don’t know how the Death Round Table was developed to be able to destroy the souls of infected creatures and corrode their bodies while maintaining their ability to move.
Moreover, the physical strength of creatures disturbed by the death virus has not been reduced. Unless they encounter an existence like Alpha that can absorb the power of death, other attacks have poor effects.
If it is allowed to spread, even without the help of the Death Round Table, most of the life in this world will turn into dead beasts, which is more terrifying than the undead natural disaster.
However, it is really difficult to resolve...
"How about asking my parents, they are more professional about this."
Bai Qi sorted out the information he had obtained so far, stretched, and then leaned on the chair, silently staring at the original virus solution in front of him.
The cowhide snake was still spitting hard, trying to use the Bronze Dragon's signature skill Breath of Time, but it couldn't be triggered.
"What's going on? I've turned back into a bronze dragon?"
Bullskin looked at his body doubtfully. Although he could not be called a giant dragon, his dragon shape was definitely genuine, but he didn't know why, but he couldn't use his skills.
"It was obviously okay before, but now it's not okay?"
The cowhide snake sighed, but unexpectedly spit out a bronze dragon's breath, which enveloped the reagent bottle containing the original virus solution. The original solution that had been lying quietly inside finally started to move, splitting into pieces bit by bit.
Two drops.
"Wow...I finally did it!"
Unexpectedly using the breath of time, the cowhide snake had a face full of surprise, and spit out a few more mouthfuls, but gradually it turned into saliva again.
"You'd better go back and practice with me before we talk."
When Bai Qi saw this, he sent it back to the Secret Realm of Time with a look of disgust on his face. He took a new reagent bottle and refilled the split drop.
These potion bottles are made of ice-based materials by Jetta, which can resist the erosion of the death virus to a certain extent, but if there are too many, they will still be unable to withstand it.
"Huh? How come this lady smells the power of death? Bai Qi, do you have a pet animal that is contaminated with the power of death again?"
At this moment, a black bird flew in from the outside, looked at the dead viruses in the reagent bottle, opened its mouth and sucked in, swallowing the viruses.
“It tastes good, but a little lacking.”
The Nine Nether Bird smacked its mouth with unsatisfied intentions, and then looked at the other death viruses.
"Senior Jiuyou, this is for research, please don't eat it anymore."
Seeing this, Bai Qi hurriedly hid the reagent bottle in his hand. It was obviously such a dangerous thing, but both Alpha and the Nine Nether Birds regarded it as food. It was really strange.
"Okay...but after you study it, you must keep it for me."
The Nine Nether Bird felt a little regretful. He glanced at Alpha, who was following behind him, and muttered: "If we don't hurry up, I feel like I'm going to be overtaken by this guy."
"Senior Jiuyou, what did you say?"
"It's nothing, go and study it quickly."
The Nine Nether Bird turned its head and flew to the body tissues of the dead beasts. After inspecting them one by one, a trace of disappointment appeared on its face.
"Damn it, it's all contaminated with flesh and blood, and the concentration is so low that I really can't eat it."
Hearing Jiuyou Mingque's words, Bai Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Senior Jiuyou, what do you mean by being contaminated by flesh and blood?"
From what he has seen so far, the death virus has contaminated flesh and blood. How come it's the other way around when it comes to Jiuyou.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You have been working on it for a long time and you don't know what you are studying?"
Jiuyou Mingque said in surprise: "In your human terms, the death virus you just had is actually a single-celled organism. Once it encounters flesh and blood, it will quickly release the power of death to assimilate the flesh and blood cells, and at the same time it will also
Absorb the energy of flesh and blood.”
"So, as time goes by, the power of death will become less and less, and the impurities will become more and more. It's not pollution..."
"That being said, it can indeed be considered contaminated."
Bai Qi couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Looking at the death virus in the reagent bottle, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Single-celled organisms... they can be considered living things... they can also be subdued with the spirit ball... right?
Since it can't be eliminated for the time being, let's simply conquer it. We'll wait and see if we can summon it. The key is that it's safe and pollution-free.
Tsk... isn’t this the way to go!
"Shuke, come with me to redesign the rune structure of the Spirit Ball... Black and white, help me find a metal that can carry the death virus!"
Bai Qi pulled Husky and Black and White out of the secret realm together, and assigned them their respective tasks regardless of their confused appearance.
"Has your beastmaster always been like this?"
Seeing the somewhat crazy Bai Qi, Jiuyou Mingque was speechless and turned around to ask.
Gala Gala.
(Yes, the boss always acts cheerfully.)
"It's refreshing...forget it, it's not fun here. You can accompany me to practice again. It's obviously a mutation of the power of death. Why is your power of annihilation so powerful?"
Gala Gala.
(no problem.)
…
Outside the Crystal Palace.
A bone dragon broke through the sea water and flew quickly, and above the head of the bone dragon, a baby-faced young man was holding a thunder rat and looking curiously at the Crystal Palace in front of him.
"This is the Deep Sea Alliance that dad said, it's so beautiful~"
"Tsk tsk... No wonder people say that the deep sea is very rich. It is indeed true."
Bai Yuxiao climbed up from the back of the bone dragon, her eyes flashing.
With so many treasures, if you just pick some up and bring them back, you can achieve wealth and freedom, right? You don’t have to look at dad’s face.
"Who dares to approach our Deep Sea Alliance at will?"
At this moment, several huge figures flew from a distance and quickly surrounded the bone dragon. Bai Yuxiao was frightened by the fierce aura.
"Sorry, we are not hostile."
Seeing this, Bai Qiucha slowly stood up from the top of Gu Long's head and said: "My name is Bai Qiucha, and this is my cousin Bai Yuxiao. We are here to find Bai Qi."
"Looking for Big Brother?"
After hearing Bai Qiucha's words, these figures immediately restrained their auras and revealed their faces.
"Your surname is Bai too? Are you the eldest brother's brother?"
Ming Dian looked at the two of them carefully.
"Brother? You're talking about Bai Qi, right? I'm not."
Ming Dian was stunned when he heard this, and was about to ask again when he suddenly thought of something after seeing the bone dragon under Bai Qiucha.
"I remember that Senator Bai had a son whose pet beast was a bone dragon?"
"Seems to be."
The bloodthirsty manta nodded and said: "Don't tell me, this looks really similar to Congressman Bai, but he looks much gentler."
"Hmm, Congressman Bai's look is really..."
"Cough cough cough... stop talking nonsense and hurry up and greet people."
Ming Dian coughed twice, looked at Bai Qiucha and the two of them, and said, "Since you are the son of Chairman Bai, then you two can come with me."
As he said that, Ming Dian glanced at the bone dragon under Bai Qiucha with some fear, and then turned to lead the way.
Although it was very light, the aura exuded by the bone dragon made him feel threatened. This was the reason why they did not launch an attack immediately after discovering the bone dragon.
Under the leadership of the Thirteen Taibao, Gu Long continued to move forward with Bai Qiucha. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Bai Qizheng walking out with two spirit balls of different colors.
"Let's go and try to see if it can be effective on wild dead animals. If it can, this spirit-control ball - Sun and Moon can be promoted."
