Everyone started working urgently, the formation had been reduced from fifteen kilometers to three kilometers, and the strength of the formation had more than doubled.
The range of the formation has become smaller, and the surrounding defensive circle has also been strengthened. The masters stand side by side, forming a battle formation to meet challenges that may break out at any time.
The challenge came as soon as it came, and Wang Ruiyang's worries came true.
The ginseng juice was no longer easy to use, and the two methods Zhou Xueyao had studied before were also ineffective. The monsters thrown into the formation became food for flying insects and multiplied rapidly.
"Stop!" Nangong Zhi stopped throwing monsters inward and asked everyone to just strengthen the formation. In addition, if there is a chance, they must get some samples.
Only by giving the sample to Zhou Xueyao can Zhou Xueyao develop a solution. At present, the mutation of flying insects has nothing to do with Zhou Xueyao, and everyone still understands this.
But the danger came faster than expected. These new mutated flying insects actually broke through the formation in less than a minute!
You must know that the current Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation uses the technology of Dayang Group and has been reduced to three kilometers. Its defense capability is almost four times that of the previous Xuanhuang Group's Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation.
However, such a large formation was easily broken through by flying insects.
When Wang Ruiyang saw this, his pupils contracted.
When Nangong Zhi saw this, he screamed: "Attack, magical power!!!"
This time the masters were prepared, and almost immediately the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation was enveloped by magical powers so far away.
The flying insects that just broke out of the formation fell into the quagmire in an instant.
However, more flying insects swarmed out from behind. Although the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation continued to repair itself, the effect was almost invisible. A large number of scarlet flying insects came one after another.
Three minutes later, the outside of the Sealing Heaven and Earth Locking Formation was almost covered with flying insects, and the Heaven Sealing Earth Locking Formation itself was almost invisible.
However, for the time being, the flying insects were suppressed on the surface of the formation by magical powers. However, at this time, the masters looked solemn, even fearful. They gradually became unable to suppress these newly mutated flying insects!
As the number of flying insects increased, the magical power gradually became exhausted. Suddenly, several people in the stage of becoming gods exclaimed that their magical power collapsed because they could not suppress too many flying insects.
Almost instantly, these flying insects crawled all over the bodies of the three divine transformation stages. In the blink of an eye, the three divine transformation stages disappeared, and the number of flying insects doubled!
Zhou Xueyao couldn't help but gasp when she saw it, "The flying speed of these flying insects has doubled, and the swallowing speed and reproduction speed have also doubled!"
The nearby gods in their transformation stages reacted quickly and once again used their magical powers to suppress the flying insects. But everyone was having a hard time.
Nangong Zhi immediately commanded, and two Dharma masters passed by, and the two magical powers trapped these flying insects.
Some of them were taken out and sent to Zhou Xueyao for research, and the remaining ones were again resorted to the stupid method in the past - using magical powers, sword energy, etc. to split the flying insects into small groups, and then burn them with real fire.
The flying insects are indeed much more powerful, but fortunately they are still afraid of fire, especially the real fire of Dharma masters. However, Dharma masters have said: These flying insects are more resistant to burning!
Zhou Xueyao was not idle either. With the help of experts from Dayang Group and her own assistants, she started experimenting again.
However, half an hour passed, and sweat appeared on Zhou Xueyao's temples;
An hour passed, and sweat appeared on the tip of Zhou Xueyao's nose; beads of sweat stuck to her white and tender skin, and the tip of her reddish nose, like white lotus beads condensed under the morning mist. However, no one paid attention to this at this time.
What everyone is paying more attention to is Zhou Xueyao’s research results.
"Invulnerable to all poisons!" Zhou Xueyao looked a little pale, "We have used all the methods we can think of so far, whether they are viruses, bacteria, fungi, or various poisons, elixirs, etc. These new flying insects will at most have some
It feels uncomfortable, but it will recover soon, and antibodies will be produced in the body.
It feels like... opening a door and letting out the devil behind it!
The current conditions are limited, and it is temporarily impossible to observe and study the genes of flying insects. But I have a feeling that this flying insect is probably not a natural occurrence, but an artificial product and an artificial life.
It is impossible for nature to produce such terrifying flying insects that mutate so quickly!"
Zu Qianyue frowned slightly after hearing this. In fact, I don't pay attention to your various speculations. I am only concerned about: Do you have any other options?
However, Zu Qianyue's tone at this time also revealed a bit of anxiety, even impatience.
Zhou Xueyao quietly glanced at Zu Qianyue and said calmly: "I am not a god. For the time being, I can only say that we have not found a method yet. Moreover, ordinary research and experimental methods are useless.
Now we should observe the genes of flying insects and design a target virus to block the effect of their genes.
I know you don’t understand (very arrogantly). To put it simply, the experimental conditions here are temporarily unable to study these flying insects. I only hope that the Holy Fire of Tiandu Sect, Mingjiao, and Xianyin Sect can come over soon."
Hearing what Zhou Xueyao said, Zu Qianyue opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. In the end, he could only sigh together and turned around to leave.
Since Zhou Xueyao couldn't produce results in a short time, she could only work hard and look forward to the arrival of the Holy Fire.
The night was getting darker, and the sunset reluctantly set on the mountaintop; but high in the sky, the aerospace aircraft carrier turned on its headlights, and every detail within a three-kilometer radius was visible; it was also clearly distinguishable within a five-kilometer radius.
Although everyone is an expert, when facing these tiny flying insects, it is better to have light.
More and more flying insects are gathering outside, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to rely solely on magical powers to stop them. Experts also need to rest!
But everyone is not stupid. They are also dividing flying insects and constantly refining them with real fire. If there is no real fire, or the temperature of the real fire is not enough, we use formations.
The power of formations activated by high-grade spiritual stones is very impressive.
Also, because the Heaven-Sealing Earth-Sealing Formation is one-way through, some people will also attack to stuff the flying insects back into the formation. But all of this can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.
Everyone was busy in an orderly manner, and even the experts from the Ocean Group and the Strategic Alliance took over part of the defense.
At this moment, everyone was working together and cooperating closely. No one expected that the two sides, who were fighting to the death more than a month ago, could actually cooperate in the face of a common crisis for mankind.
Time passed by, and Zhou Xueyao's research was already in trouble. Conventional methods were useless. Zhou Xueyao was now trying to synthesize an enzyme or a new hormone; this hormone could affect flying insects.
But for a while, Zhou Xueyao didn't know where to start.
Suddenly, one of Zhou Xueyao's assistants, who was also a student, couldn't help but say, "Teacher, I have an idea."
Zhou Xueyao looked at her student, a sweet-looking girl in her early twenties. But she was the smartest little girl under her, Miao Xiaoyu.
Giving Miao Xiaoyu an encouraging look, Miao Xiaoyu whispered, "Teacher, the two temporary methods you used before seemed to benefit the flying insects, so they were allowed to accept them without causing resistance.
But for living things, the biggest benefit is actually life span!
The current lifespan of flying insects is very short, so can we increase their lifespan? Increase their lifespan and slow down their movement speed.
I remember my teacher’s previous research, which is that the lazier the life, the longer its lifespan. For example, turtles. The lifespan of trees is generally very long, and they don’t move at all!”
After saying that, Miao Xiaoyu looked at Zhou Xueyao nervously. But Zhou Xueyao's eyes brightened, "Not bad, continue."
"Ah...oh, teacher, I remember that we studied a spiritualized aluminate before, which can cause nervous system sluggishness, etc. But the greater effect can be to inhibit gene division.
When gene division is suppressed, life span will naturally be longer. But it will also cause slowness, dullness, and even dementia!"
Zhou Xueyao's eyes suddenly burst into brilliant light, "It seems to be a kind of spiritualized alum, which has such an effect!"
With the direction in hand, it only took Zhou Xueyao less than thirty minutes to produce research results again. Sure enough, the new drug did not cause an immune response to the flying insects and was absorbed by the flying insects happily.
Then the flying insects crawled lazily in the container.
The reaction begins about 15 minutes after flying insect poisoning and reaches the limit after 30 minutes.
Spiritualized alum?
Zu Qianyue's eyes brightened again. Linghua's alum mine was on site! Just ten kilometers away, they dug an alum mine, which was roughly estimated to be three kilometers in diameter.
Wang Ruiyang murmured beside him, "I have heard before that there must be an antidote for poisonous snakes and insects within three steps! This is the way of heaven! Perhaps, this alum is the 'antidote' for flying insects!
It’s just that not everyone can discover the antidote!”
Zhou Xueyao nodded to Wang Ruiyang, and Zu Qianyue immediately organized people to dig out the alum. The spiritualized alum was very beautiful, each one as bright as a diamond.
But no one was studying this at this time. The alum was crushed and stuffed into the body of the monster. Under the influence of the spell, the bones, flesh and blood of the monster were all filled with alum; then a ray of true energy was left in the heart of the monster.
If you want to save your life, throw it into the formation.
Some people even directly crushed the alum, mixed it with the spiritual spring to turn it into rain, and sprinkled the solution into the formation.
This time the effect was even better and more obvious. As soon as the demonic beasts and others were thrown in, a dispute broke out among the flying insects. The flying insect that was the first to grab the flesh and blood of the demonic beast was bitten to death by more flying insects because its reaction was slower.
The result was shocking. Some flying insects that had already flown out of the formation actually turned around and returned.
After more than an hour of this, the flying insects huddled back into the cave again, leaving only a red cloud with a diameter of one kilometer slowly surging.
The red clouds surged, fell, and shrank. The flying speed of flying insects also became slower and slower. Many flying insects simply stopped on the rocks and stopped moving.
Wang Ruiyang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stammered and asked Zhou Xueyao what he should do.
Zhou Xueyao looked at it and suggested: "I think we should not inflame these flying insects for the time being, but first strengthen the defense and wind seal. Wait for the holy fire to arrive."
