If the previously obtained information is accurate, the source of corruption in the World Tree should indeed be directly under Nidhogg's lair, and the most likely source of corruption is undoubtedly the core organization of the eldest son: the brain core. Everyone agrees After exploring the cave all the way here, various signs found along the way also showed the trend of this corruption spreading, but only one thing was beyond Hao Ren's expectation:
The organ in front of him was a mass of healthy biological tissue.
"There's something not right about these tentacles... and the ganglia." The data terminal flew around in the large cave, scanning the tangled vine-like tentacles with a blue scanning beam. "They seem to be divided into two distinct parts." The... camp."
Not only did the data terminal discover this, Hao Ren also discovered after observation that the biological tissue near the ganglion was in an abnormal state. The tentacles on the four walls of the large cave were not completely consistent, and some of them had serious lesions and corrosion, and their epidermis The wrinkles are black and dull, as if they have been burned by the flames, but the other part looks quite healthy. They appear plump and lively, and even shiny silver runes can be seen on some of the skin: That is You The unique symbol of Gudora Sil, the special eldest son. These two tentacles are as distinct as if they come from two different organisms. They are entangled together, giving people a feeling of the same force as water and fire.
If lesions occur in ordinary organisms, most of the diseased areas will be "gradual", with healthy tissues and unhealthy tissues merging together, and there will also be many "semi-pathological" biological tissues appearing, but this is not the case here at all.
Both the healthy tentacles and the diseased tentacles eventually gathered in the center of the large cave and grew on the large node that was constantly beating. This made Hao Ren finally shift all his attention to that organ.
He stared carefully for a long time, and finally found some suspicious clues from the seemingly healthy organ: in the connective grid area where the brain nucleus is located, there were some vague black shadows pulsing slightly inside. He thought they were normal blood vessel shadows or something else, but then he suddenly remembered: there were no blood vessels around the eldest son's brain core.
Because the brain nucleus is soaked in living "source blood", this living blood does not require blood vessels for transportation and distribution. The brain nucleus is suspended in a chamber filled with fluid, and the information transmission between it and the surrounding tissues relies on a It is carried out in a way that is almost a psychic connection: around it, there are no solid organs or tissues that may produce shadows!
The data terminal is hovering around the large organ in the center of the cave. It is considering whether to directly turn on the high-power detection device for irradiation. Because high-power detection is very likely to directly cause the eldest son to wake up, it does not dare to make this decision arbitrarily.
"We have to check inside," Hao Ren pointed at the black shadows and said, "There is something wrong with the structure here."
"Scan it?" The data terminal flew over immediately.
"No," Hao Ren waved his hand, "operate, I want to see directly."
"The risk is too great." The data terminal shook vigorously on the spot. "Yugudora Hill will definitely wake up. This is a very serious stimulation, and we currently do not have an effective hypnosis method for the eldest son. Copied from Horleta The 'Lullaby' device that came here is only effective for a specific eldest son, and theoretically has no effect on this big thing in front of you."
Hao Ren shook his head and pointed to the pool of Origin Blood in the center of the cave: "The most dangerous thing is the Origin Blood's rampage. As long as the activity of the Origin Blood can be inhibited, the eldest son's strength can be greatly weakened. At the same time, he can be injected with the crystal core research station that just synthesized it."
It’s a powerful sedative, so I don’t think it’s a big problem.”
The Crystal Nucleus Research Station has been playing around with the two samples brought from Horleta for two years. Even if the eldest son's mystery is high, there are now quite a few research results, including targeted tranquilizers: That's
An indispensable agent when conducting various highly irritating tests.
The data terminal does not doubt the effectiveness of this tranquilizer, but the biggest problem is another: the most troublesome thing about the eldest son is that his "blood" survives independently, and things like source blood cannot be calmed or comforted.
The medicine is ineffective!
It raised its own doubts on the spot: "Tranquilizers are easy to say, and there are plenty of them in the warehouse of the Giant Turtle Rock Platform, but what about the source blood?"
A small figure flashed through his mind, and Hao Ren had an idea: "Bring Doudou here!"
"By the way, Doudou can suppress the origin blood!" Vivian also reacted instantly. She remembered the amazing talent shown by the little fish baby in Tanagus: As the end of life in the world, Doudou was on the ecological ladder.
He has an extremely special rank, and the source blood created by the Creation Goddess has an innate awe and avoidance instinct for him. As long as Doudou is present, the source blood will be inactivated immediately!
The data terminal immediately set off to earth to pick up the little mermaid. With the help of space transmission technology, it came and went very quickly. Hao Ren and the others did not wait long before they saw a flash of blue light in the air, followed by a small fish baby.
The little guy jumped out of the portal and happily hung on Hao Ren's neck. The fish tail slapped on the latter's chest: "Daddy, daddy..."
The space teleportation function of the data terminal is indeed a bit powerful. The little mermaid has adapted to it so many times, but she still feels dizzy after being teleported.
"We'd better get it done quickly," the data terminal muttered while swinging next to Hao Ren's head. "Your fish was busy playing with your cat just now. Now that the fish has escaped, the cat may not be able to stay calm for long.
…”
Doudou continued to hang around Hao Ren's neck and pat his tail vigorously: "Cats are so funny!"
Galadra watched this scene silently and said nothing during the whole process: she had long since not wanted to comment on the way Hao Ren and his team got along.
The data terminal also used space teleportation to obtain the "Powerful Tranquilizer Version 2.0 for Firstborn Sons" stored on the spacecraft. A large silver-white box was filled with sealed metal tubes. Any tube could be hit.
It is enough to give an ordinary eldest son half an hour of local anesthesia, but the effect on the specially evolved eldest son of Yggdrasil has yet to be verified.
When all conditions were ready, Hao Ren decided to start this creative surgical operation.
"Are you really sure you want to do this?" Vivian looked at the slightly beating mass of biological tissue in the center of the cave with some worry. "It's hard to say what will happen if the stimulation is too much. Maybe we should first remove the Twilight City
people were transferred out.”
Hao Ren shrugged: "But if Yggdrasil remains in this state, we can't do anything."
He released three autonomous machines from his personal space. One of them whirred around the crowd twice, then grabbed a tube of tranquilizer with its mechanical tentacles and flew towards the eldest son's large ganglion. The many tentacles of the autonomous machines
The functions are different. The end of one of the tentacles has a mimetic structure that can be deformed at will. The little guy who has been chattering changed the tentacles into an injection device and carefully penetrated into the ganglion of the eldest son.
"Chichi..."
Along with an inaudible pressurizing sound, the sedative was injected into Yggdrasil's body. Almost visible to the naked eye, the red light beating on the surface of the nervous tissue dimmed, but it was not completely extinguished.
The tranquilizer took effect, but as Hao Ren expected, the effect was not as significant as on an ordinary eldest son. Yggdrasil was obviously a more powerful individual, and it resisted part of the effects of the tranquilizer.
So the self-discipline machine injected the tranquilizers in the No. 2 and No. 3 cartridges, and finally completely suppressed the neural response of the core tissue in front of it.
"Start inhibiting the activity of origin blood," Hao Ren stood next to the pool of origin blood with a serious face, holding a little mermaid more than a foot long, and announced solemnly while placing Doudou on the ground, "Start the first time. touch!"
Doudou immediately clapped her hands and jumped towards the surging red liquid in front of her: As a fish, it is almost her instinct to jump into water when she sees it. As for the dangerous-looking color and shape of this "water", Doudou didn't care that she was a master at committing suicide, she just jumped in when something was abnormal!
As expected, as soon as Doudou jumped forward twice, the pool of source blood calmed down instantly, and the source blood closest to the edge of the pond even began to retreat layer by layer. This retreat reaction eventually affected The ganglia of Yggdrasil and the source blood in the tentacles and node organs also lost their activity, and the life response of the eldest son in the entire cave instantly dropped to the lowest point!
Galadra looked at all this in stunned silence: "...Is this really okay?"
After hearing this, Nangong Sanba replied casually: "That's just him. The more effective his tricks are, the more rustic he looks."
Galadra: "..."
Hao Ren carefully told Doudou to ask the little guy not to move around, and to keep suppressing the source of blood at the edge of the pond. After the little guy made a promise with a serious face and clenched his fists, he ordered the remaining two autonomous machines. Begin cutting the connective tissue outside the brain nucleus.
The moment the cutting beam cut through the connective skin, a stench suddenly came out! (To be continued.)
