Volume II, Chapter 192

Lady Luck still did not abandon Shi Leiyin, although under normal circumstances, Shi Leiyin could only be treated as a stepmother.

Under the command of Shi Leiyin's consciousness, the originally blue body suddenly burst out with a purple-black aura. Obviously, the dragon virus was smoothly fused into the body.

After the effects of the dragon virus were fully manifested, Shi Leiyin felt that this virus was more powerful than he thought.

The first effect is the physique improvement effect. When the dragon virus infects creatures other than the black eclipse dragon, there are three stages of normal condition: the weak phase, the strengthening phase, and the immune phase. In general, the Black Eclipse Dragon will kill hostile creatures when they enter a weakened phase, and if the enemy is an ancient dragon species that is stronger than itself, it will take the opportunity to escape. If the infected creature is too weak, the creature will die from the dragon even if it does not attack, and of course, normally, the dragon will not use the dragon on a target that is too weak. Creatures that have passed the weak phase will have a stressful constitution strengthening due to the stimulation of the previous weak phase and the effect of the dragon virus infection and reproduction. Cellular activity and vital energy will grow explosively in a short period of time. This is manifested in the ability to repair wounds quickly and to endure almost no fatigue. It's just that in this state, the body's instincts will override rational thinking, causing organisms to rely more on survival instincts when they move. If the life energy of the creature has enough potential, then it will eventually completely overcome the dragon virus and enter the immune period, and if the life energy is overdrawn, then it will completely lose its rational consciousness and become a tireless living zombie, that is, a dragon zombie, and eventually die after exhausting the life energy.

Organisms in the immune phase are very difficult to give birth to in the current state of the world. And the number of black dragons far exceeds the current ancient period, and most of those extremely powerful ancient dragon species can resist the effect of the dragon virus to the level of immunity. Therefore, after the Black Eclipse Dragon evolved into the Celestial Dragon, the Wild Dragon Virus no longer relied on the effects of the Weakening and Strengthening Phases to kill the enemy, but transformed into a more fast-acting and violent poison, so that the Celestial Dragons gained their own place in the ancient period when the ancient dragon species were overflowing.

The physique improvement effect that Shi Leiyin's body is feeling now is the effect of the immune period. As the host of the dragon virus, the black eclipse dragon has been in a state of immunity since birth, and Shi Leiyin's body is basically the same as the state of the black eclipse dragon after it has been completely fused with the mad dragon virus.

Creatures that enter the immune phase will have a drastic decrease in the number of dragon viruses in their bodies - the dragon virus of the black eclipse dragon is stored under the scales on the surface of the body, not in the body - and at the same time, the dragon virus will be activated when needed, allowing the body to have the same effect as the strengthening phase. Unlike the strengthening phase, this enhancement effect triggered by a small amount of virus only lasts for a short period of time, and after the strengthening effect, the body will enter a state of fatigue, similar to the feeling of entering a weak phase, and similarly, this state of weakness will only last for a short time. After the weakening phase, it can be re-energized into the strengthening phase.

There are some differences between Shi Leiyin and the immune phase creatures, and the reason why the immune phase creatures enter the cycle mode of excitation-weakness-normal-excitation is mainly due to the number of dragon viruses in the body. After excitation, the number of viruses decreases, and the virus enters the reproductive stage, causing a weak phase, and when the virus returns to the upper limit allowed by the immune period, it returns to a normal state and can enter a state of re-excitation. Shi Leiyin is different, the dragon virus in Shi Leiyin's body is strictly speaking just a virus constructed by the slime's body. Although Shi Leiyin didn't know why the slime's body was able to construct a smaller level of virus units with a cell-level physique, it was true that the dragon virus in his body appeared from scratch after his own consciousness was manipulated, and it was not originally present in the body. It can independently produce the dragon virus, which allows Shi Leiyin to be in a state of enhanced stimulation all the time under the condition that the energy in his body allows. And slimes are different from those creatures with complex structures, the energy in the slime's body is not classified, and the life energy required for the enhancement and stimulation of the dragon virus is the energy stored in the body for the slime, and there is no such thing as overdraft. However, there is also a certain disadvantage in Shi Leiyin's situation, that is, Shi Leiyin's cell activity is not affected by the dragon virus. Since the dragon virus in the body is produced by the body itself, for Shi Leiyin's body cells, the dragon virus is itself, although it will be affected by the strengthening and stimulation, so that the whole body has more powerful power, but it cannot affect the activity and recovery ability of the cells. Fortunately, for slimes, the lack of these two effects does not have much impact.

Another disadvantage is that the dragon virus in Shi Leiyin's body cannot infect other creatures like the Black Eclipse Dragon. This is what disappointed Shi Leiyin, although Shi Leiyin's main purpose is to give himself a certain chance to be immune to the Celestial Dragon's Crazy Dragon Virus. But it's not that I don't want to rely on the effect of the dragon virus as one of my killer features. After all, although the dragon virus was only a means to save the life of the black dragon in ancient times, in this period, it is definitely a big killer. With the help of the Weak Period of the Dragon Virus, Shi Leiyin can attack more creatures and seize the evolutionary advantages of the other party. Now that this hope has been disappointed, although Shi Leiyin can accept it, he is still somewhat disappointed.

After figuring out the first effects, Shi Leiyin began to check the other effects of the dragon virus in his body, and also began to analyze the specific process of the dragon virus for enhanced excitation. As a Devouring Fusion Slime, Thunder can leave the process of Devouring Fusion to his own body instincts. In fact, instinctively dealing with these is much faster and more effective than Shi Leiyin doing it on his own. However, the only instinct that can be done is to devour and fuse the samples that Shi Leiyin sent into his body, and then store them in his body and feed them back when Shi Leiyin needs them. When the body instinctively does these things, it only makes simple judgments about whether it is or is not there and whether it is better than the same nature in the body. As for how to use it, it needs Shi Leiyin's consciousness to deal with it.

In addition to strengthening the physique, Shi Leiyin also discovered another effect of the dragon virus, but this effect may be very useful for other immune creatures, but it is very chicken for Shi Leiyin - the dragon virus has a virus rejection effect. This effect means that immunogenic organisms will never be infected by other viruses, that is, they will not get sick virally. And even if the slime is placed in the most densely populated place with the virus, it will only assimilate into a virus slime, and as for illness, this kind of thing has nothing to do with slimes.
