A group of people sat around a blazing bonfire, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
"What is your strength?"
In the midst of the beating bonfire, Scarface finally couldn't help but make a sound.
The person he was asking in his words was naturally Wang Jin.
While the bonfire was beating, Wang Jin thought for a moment, wondering how he should answer.
What strength do you have now?
If we were to simply talk about Qi and blood, I would be nothing more than a fourth-level warrior.
Even because of the injuries caused by the sword intent in his body, he could not even maintain the energy and blood of a fourth-level warrior.
But under the influence of that sword intention, when he strikes now, his moves are filled with boundless sword intention.
As a result, his true combat effectiveness is only slightly weaker than that of a master-level warrior.
"Brother Jin is the one who broke into the seventh floor of the Nine Dragon Gate!"
Seeing that Wang Jin was hesitant, the little fat man Zhai Shaohui on the side finally couldn't help but speak up for Wang Jin. There was even a hint of pride in his words.
"The seventh floor of Nine Dragon Gate?"
Zhou Zhou and several scientific researchers didn't quite understand what the seventh floor of the Nine Dragon Gate actually represented, but several people in the Wuji Martial Arts Hall took a slight breath of air-conditioning in an instant, and even Scarface had a look in his eyes.
A moment of surprise.
Although they had not studied at Beidou Seven School or Daxia First Military University, they had also heard of Nine Dragon Gate.
The Nine Dragon Gate on the seventh floor has to face the projection of the Martial Saint whose strength has reached the master level.
Needless to say, being able to break into the seventh floor of the Nine Dragon Gate is enough to prove Wang Jin's strength.
Wang Jin had no expression. On the contrary, the little fat guys Zhai Shaohui and Zhou Qing, when they noticed the surprised and surprised looks from the people around them, they subconsciously puffed up their chests and looked proud.
expression.
After all, like Wang Jin, they were the only college students on the field, and they were even regarded as a burden at first.
Now everyone's attitude towards Wang Jin has changed, and even a few of them feel proud.
"What the hell is this?"
In the distance, Professor Yin and Chen Liang did not participate in the chat.
Professor Yin and Chen Liang were squatting among the corpses of strange beasts on the ground. Chen Liang used a flashlight to illuminate them, while Professor Yin put on gloves and carefully dissected the corpses.
After just getting rid of nearly a hundred parasitized beasts, Scarface was worried and asked several people from the Wuji Martial Arts School to patrol the oasis again.
This time, it was discovered that the strange beasts in this oasis seemed to have been completely killed.
Think about it, it is impossible for the strange beasts living in this oasis not to come to this lake to drink water.
Once you drink water, you will be parasitized by the parasites in this lake.
The many parasitized alien beasts summoned by the giant crocodile were already all in the entire oasis.
There were no other alien beasts in the oasis, so it was naturally safe. Scarface didn't bother to clean up the corpses of so many alien beasts, so he just let the corpses lie there.
After all, Professor Yin is a scholar and has great interest in the study of exotic animals.
This kind of parasite that had never been seen before immediately aroused Professor Yin's interest. After thinking about it, he still couldn't bear it and came to dissect it to see if he could find any clues.
The two of them showed quite solid professionalism and were not too dirty at all. They joined hands with each other and forcibly pulled out the corpse of a parasite from the corpse of the alien beast.
"This kind of parasite... I feel like I have seen it somewhere before, but I also feel like I have never seen it before..."
Under the light of the flashlight, Professor Yin used a magnifying glass to carefully look at a piece of tissue cut from the tray. After looking at it for a long time, he seemed to think of something, but he couldn't tell the details.
"Teacher, is this a strange beast from the Mist Triangle?"
Chen Liang turned on the flashlight, thought hard for a moment, and then suddenly slapped his thigh: "Over there in the Triangle of Fog, there is a parasitic beast called Hemotrichomonas. It seems to be very consistent with the characteristics of the parasite we just saw!"
"Haemotrichomoniasis?"
Professor Yin was stunned for a moment.
"Have you forgotten? When you were young, you wrote a paper about this blood trichomonas!"
Seeing that Professor Yin had not yet responded, Chen Liang couldn't help but remind him again.
Now, Professor Yin seemed to have finally remembered it completely.
"Yes, I did write a paper about the Haemotrichomonas... When you say so, it's true that all the characteristics of this parasite are very consistent with the Haemotrichomonas!"
He patted his head repeatedly and sighed: "I am really old...I can't even remember these things..."
Chen Liang looked at Professor Yin a little strangely.
Professor Yin has always had a good memory, so why can’t he even remember a paper he once wrote?
It seems that traveling in the desert these days has indeed put a lot of pressure on Professor Yin's body...
"Haemotriconia? What is this?"
Professor Yin's discovery also attracted the attention of Wang Jin and others on the other side. Everyone came over to watch Professor Yin dissect the parasites in the corpse of the alien beast.
"Haemomonas is a parasitic beast that was originally only active in the Mist Triangle..."
Seeing everyone gathered around, Professor Yin did not show off and explained in detail: "This kind of parasitic beast is very terrifying. It can parasitize all living creatures except plants. Once it enters the body of a living thing, whether it is a beast or a human, it will
All the organs in the body will be covered with blood at a very fast speed.
The parasite is hollowed out... But even if the internal organs are hollowed out, the parasitized life will not die immediately. All the organs in the body will be replaced by the body of the blood trichomonas. The blood trichomonas will use its own body to simulate the parasite.
organ structure, thereby continuing to maintain the life of the parasitized person..."
"The parasitized organism will continue to live in another way, but its behavior and thoughts will be controlled by the blood trichomonas..."
Although Professor Yin was just explaining, his calm tone still made everyone shudder when it fell into the ears of everyone around him.
Eviscerate the parasite and then replace it yourself?
Can you even control the thoughts and actions of the parasite?
This is simply something you can only hear about in science fiction movies.
"How is this parasite spread? Can it only be spread through water?"
The scar-faced man on the side asked in a deep voice.
"Haemomonas all parasitize other organisms through eggs. So far, I have not heard of any parasites parasitizing other organisms through media other than water."
Professor Yin thought for a few seconds and answered.
"Is it just spread through water... That's fine..."
Scarface nodded slightly.
At worst, I just don't drink the water in this nest for a few days.
Although the amount of water you carry with you is quite tight, it is enough if you are frugal.
"It's strange... Logically speaking, this blood trichomonad should only be distributed in the Mist Triangle... In the Martial Arts Era, I have never heard of such a terrifying parasitic creature appearing in any other place.
…”
Professor Yin seemed a little confused: "This kind of thing is very powerful and can parasitize a wide range of animals. Down to the first-level alien beasts, there are even precedents of seventh-level alien beasts being parasitized..."
Can even seventh-level alien beasts be parasitized?
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled.
"Anyway, we have to be careful. We don't know how this parasite came to the desert..."
The Mist Triangle is a tropical rainforest area quite far away from Daxia.
It is quite far away from the area where this nest is located, almost spanning half of the Blue Star.
How did this parasite cross the ocean and get here?
After thinking for a long time, Professor Yin couldn't think of a reason. He shook his head and carefully found some usable material samples from the corpses of the strange beasts, put them into the containers he carried with him, and planned to wait until he returned.
We will do more research after arriving in Beijing.
The rest of the people, under the command of Scarface, took turns to watch the night again according to the previous arrangement.
Although the alien beasts in this oasis have been cleared, no one can guarantee whether there will be any more alien beasts from outside the oasis.
Night vigil is still necessary.
But this time, Wang Jin was excluded.
After all, he had put in a lot of effort in the battle just now. At this time, several people, including Wuji Martial Arts School, volunteered to bear the part of the vigil that Wang Jin and Scarface should bear.
