Volume II, Chapter 188
Dragons, dragon zombies.
At the beginning, the Hellwolf Dragon that Shi Leiyin encountered was only infected with Tyrannosaurus when he fought with Dinosaurus for the first time, but at least it was still 'alive'. It wasn't until he fought with the dinosaur that he was almost fatally injured and turned into a dragon zombie.
And now, the dragon in front of Shi Leiyin can be sure that he is definitely dead. According to the inherited memories obtained by Shi Leiyin, the dragon virus cannot infect dead creatures. But what is happening in front of you is undoubtedly the effect of the dragon virus.
After waking up from the surprise of the unexpected encounter with the dragon virus, Shi Leiyin thought of a possibility after a little thought. There is no doubt that the dragon virus cannot infect dead creatures, but the vitality of the ancient yalong, which is known for its toughness, is extremely tenacious, even if the neck is completely broken, the brain is dead, and there is still a period of time before the body completely loses its vitality, and even because of the toughness of the **, the neck will slowly repair itself. At this time, if you are infected with the dragon virus, it is possible to directly enter the process of dragon zombieization.
However, there is another question about this possibility, which is how the dragon was infected with the dragon virus. Judging from the Black Eclipse Dragon's method of attacking the Booming Dragon, the Black Eclipse Dragon has obviously attacked its opponent more than once. Although the Black Eclipse Dragon had six limbs like its own adult Heavenly Dragon, it could not skillfully manipulate the winged claws in the true sense, and could kill the Boom Dragon so cleanly, and the Black Eclipse Dragon's control of the wing claws had reached an extremely proficient level. In this case, the Black Eclipse Dragon no longer needs to use the Mad Dragon Virus to weaken its prey, and the purpose of the Black Eclipse Dragon is to kill not to prey, in this case, using the Mad Dragon Virus will only complicate its own purpose.
So how did the dragon virus on this dragon come about? It shouldn't be that the two sides have encountered before, if that's the case, the dragon won't be unguarded against the black dragon's aerial sneak attack, and the dragon virus on the dragon's body is extremely rare, this is not like being infected by the dragon virus deliberately released by the black dragon, but like it was inadvertently contaminated.
When Shi Leiyin thought of inadvertently being infected with the dragon virus, a inherited memory was opened like a lock that found the key, and it was presented in Shi Leiyin's memory.
It was the legacy memory of another creature that had crossed paths with the Black Eclipse Dragon. The reason why this inheritance memory did not appear in the previous inheritance memory of Shi Leiyin's search for the Black Eclipse Dragon was not only because the key point of this memory was the inadvertently leaked dragon virus, but also because it was a kind of inheritance memory of a wisdom plant. When Shi Leiyin was looking for inheritance memories before, he subconsciously used animals as a search classification, but he didn't expect that as long as the memories inherited in the fruit of original sin had a certain level of wisdom, whether it was animals, plants, or even soil and minerals, they would have a chance to be retained.
This unlocked legacy comes from a giant tree that grows in the core area of the Dragon's territory. Unlike the Elder Tree Spirit, a plant-type monster that can move, this is a tree that has grown over time and occasionally developed wisdom. Its huge size allows it to clearly know everything in the core area of the Heavenly Dragon Territory, and at the same time, because it cannot move, it has already developed a part of its wisdom and is very curious about things within its own perception range.
Under such circumstances, the giant tree learned of a very rare case of the Black Eclipse Dragon. In all the inherited memories of the Black Eclipse Dragon, there is a case that when the Black Eclipse Dragon finishes growing, it will metamorphose into a Celestial Dragon when it reaches adulthood. But there is no memory of how the Black Eclipse Dragon transformed into the Heavenly Dragon. I only know that when the black eclipse dragon grows to the limit, it will disappear into the territory for a short time, and after a short time, the transformed Tianxia Dragon will appear in the territory. The memory of the giant tree's legacy is to supplement this unknown. At the same time, it also made Shi Leiyin understand why this memory was unsealed because of the inadvertent leakage of the keyword dragon virus.
The Celestial Dragon in the area where the Giant Tree is located has been occupied since the Black Eclipse Dragon. Even the giant tree itself was a lair for this Celestial Dragon to hide from powerful enemies during the Black Eclipse Dragon period. Therefore, the process of this black eclipse dragon evolving into a celestial dragon can be said to be under the observation of the giant tree throughout the whole process.
When the Black Eclipse Dragon grows to its limit, there will be some changes that are different from the normal Black Eclipse Dragon. There are two very obvious features, one is the almost complete control of the wings and claws, and the other is the mutated dragon virus.
When fully familiar with the six-limbed pattern and the evolved dragon virus, the Celestial Dragon's combat power is stronger than that of the Black Eclipse Dragon. When there is a change in these two aspects, it means that the Black Eclipse Dragon has grown to the limit, and it may transform into a Heavenly Dragon at any time.
At this time, the Black Eclipse Dragon will return to the safest area of its territory, and become extremely aggressive, and all creatures in the area that are thought to be likely to affect its growth will be killed by the Black Eclipse Dragon without mercy. Moreover, at this time, the Black Eclipse Dragon will weaken its control of the virus due to the mutation of the Materiac Dragon Virus, so that the Mad Dragon Virus may infect the creatures attacked by the Black Eclipse Dragon without the Black Eclipse Dragon actively releasing it. At the same time, because the virus is mutating, this infection will temporarily break through the limitation that the dragon virus cannot infect dead creatures, so that the creatures killed by the black dragon have a certain chance of becoming dragon zombies directly. This kind of dragon zombie that appears from the direct infection of the corpse will lose the almost immortal regeneration ability of ordinary dragon zombies, and it also does not have the ability to be re-infected, but it will increase its strength dozens of times because all the life essence is stimulated. However, this dragon zombie does not actively leave the location of its death, and will only move when attacking other non-dragon zombie creatures that appear within the attack range. In this way, this kind of berserk dragon zombie will become a good barrier in the evolution of the black eclipse dragon. Moreover, because the essence of life is fully stimulated, such a dragon zombie can only survive for a few days at most, and after the Black Eclipse Dragon is completed and becomes a Tianxia Dragon, these dragon zombies that are difficult for the Tianxia Dragon to deal with happen to die, and it will not affect the Tianxia Dragon to go out hunting.
The information brought by this inheritance memory made Shi Leiyin realize that his guess about the current situation of the dragon was half wrong and half right. At the same time, a problem and a temptation were also placed in front of Shi Leiyin.
