Volume II, Chapter 193

By observing the excitation of the dragon virus, Shi Leiyin finally discovered the real strength of the dragon virus - the dragon virus has the effect of activating life.

It may be a little difficult to understand the activation of life, but for example, it is similar to the resurrection technique in magic. Of course, the Dragon Virus is not as powerful as the resurrection. But it's true that the dragon virus can rejuvenate dead cells.

This special effect, if it weren't for Shi Leiyin's deliberate repeated observation of the excitation process of the dragon virus, it would really not be possible to find it. Sleiyin's slime physique determines that his body cells will not have the upper limit of division like humans, as long as the energy is sufficient, the slime's cells can divide indefinitely, and by the definition of the earth, slimes can be called creatures with infinite lifespans. At the same time, Shi Leiyin has long found that after the cells in his body divide and renew for a period of time, the old cells and damaged cells will be swallowed and absorbed by the new cells, which should be an instinctive ability of the slime to reduce consumption. So under normal circumstances, there will be no dead cells in Shi Leiyin's body.

It's just that in order to make observations, Shi Leiyin deliberately separated the part of the body cells observed, in order to obtain more accurately the effect of the dragon virus on his body. As a result, some cells died due to the overdraft effect of the dragon virus. And it was this part of the dead cells that allowed Shi Leiyin to observe the life activation effect of the dragon virus.

Somatic cells, which had completely died and completely lost contact, regained their vital characteristics under the second excitation of the dragon virus. However, these cells did not regain contact with Shi Leiyin, and it was not until those cells that were still under Shi Leiyin's consciousness came into contact with these resurrected cells that the connection was restored. Through the examination and comparison of consciousness, these reactivated cells are completely indistinguishable from other cells, and can also divide normally, can engulf old cells, and can also be fused and assimilated by other cells after multiple divisions.

After many more experiments, Shi Leiyin found the difference between the cells that reactivate the life characteristics of the dragon virus and ordinary cells. From the time this effect was first discovered, Shi Leiyin was convinced that this activated effect must come at some price. It wasn't until several experiments under different conditions that Shi Leiyin found this price. What's funnier to say is that it is precisely because Shi Leiyin used his own body cells as experimental subjects that this price becomes difficult to find. Because for ordinary organisms, the life energy possessed by cells is limited, the dragon virus will activate the residual life energy in the dead cells, so that these life energy stimulates the cells to carry out activities, so as to achieve a similar effect of resurrection from the dead. When the cells are activated, the life energy will completely burst out, which is why the dragon zombie can burst out with more powerful power than when it was alive or even stronger than when the dragon was strengthened. In the same way, because the life energy is stimulated at one time, it also leads to the fact that the dragon zombie cannot be immortal in the true sense, and once all the life energy in the body is consumed, it will be directly wiped out.

The reason why Shi Leiyin was not able to find this difference at the first time is mainly due to the problem of the life structure of the slime, the energy in the slime's body and the life energy are almost equal, and the energy in the body of Shi Leiyin is too sufficient, and the energy required for the activation of the life of the dragon virus is far from comparable to the energy contained in Shi Leiyin's cells even at the cellular level, which leads to the fact that after many experiments, Shi Leiyin discovered the consumption of this life energy.

This is not bad news for Shi Leiyin, after all, he himself will not use the life activation effect of the dragon virus at all, and this effect is not particularly applicable to other creatures. At most, it is used for emergency life-saving purposes, and the number must be controlled, so as not to turn people into zombies if they are not saved.

The characteristics of the dragon virus have been roughly analyzed, and Shi Leiyin has temporarily lost interest in continuing to study in depth. However, after experiencing these things, Shi Leiyin also extinguished the idea of trying to release the roar of the dragon in his humanoid state, and focused on finding the scales of the ice dragon.

It wasn't that far from the place where Shi Leiyin regained consciousness to the location of the original dragon's corpse. However, the nearby terrain is complicated, and the other end is directly on the cliff, and while looking for it, Shi Leiyin can only pray that he did not throw debris down the cliff when he lost consciousness.

Perhaps it was Shi Leiyin's prayers that worked, and after nearly three hours of careful searching, Shi Leiyin finally found the scales of the Ice Dragon. That location was actually almost on the edge of the cliff, and if it weren't for the corners of the trench coat he made being blown up, Shi Leiyin really wouldn't have been able to find those things so easily.

In addition to the scales of the Ice Dragon, the clothes in the humanoid state, and the fragments of the jaw of the Broken Dragon, which had been kept by Shi Leiyin in his heart, Shi Leiyin also found those things that had been stored in his body by himself, but had almost been forgotten, such as the Star Spirit Stone that had been placed in his body for some time. However, looking at these things that still didn't have any reaction, Shi Leiyin still put them directly into his body again, and then acted as if nothing had happened.

After finding the clothes, Shi Leiyin turned into a humanoid again, and then began to follow the path of the dragon and began to retrace.

Although the Black Eclipse Dragon fell from the sky to kill the Boom Dragon, it also flew away. However, judging from the fact that it attacked the dragon and flew towards the top of the mountain, the dragon should have passed through the warning range of the Black Eclipse Dragon, which attracted the attack of the Black Eclipse Dragon. So if you go back along the path of the dragon, you will have a chance to find the black eclipse dragon's cordon. As long as the warning circle is determined, through the information obtained from the inheritance memory, Shi Leiyin can roughly determine the location of the core lair of the Black Eclipse Dragon.

The destructive power of the dragon on the ground is indeed extraordinary, and during the period of being chased, Shi Leiyin can only feel the dragon's ability to advance by relying on those obstacles that are easily broken by the dragon. Now walking back along the route taken by the dragon, Shi Leiyin truly realized the strength of the dragon's rampage on the ground.

Even though more than two days have passed, the damage caused by the dragon is still clearly visible. Whether it is trees, mud, or rocks, there are huge claw marks of the dragon, and Shi Leiyin doesn't even need to deliberately look for the distinguish, he can clearly know the specific path of the dragon.

It took a few more hours, and before the sky completely darkened, Shi Leiyin finally found the Black Eclipse Dragon Alert Circle he was looking for.

That thing was actually very easy to distinguish, Shi Leiyin only saw that there were at least ten or more different creatures moving stiffly like zombies, and he knew that it was in the black eclipse dragon's warning circle. This number of dragon zombies can only be the result of the Black Eclipse Dragon's direct attack, and the location where the Black Eclipse Dragon will attack so frequently is obviously not too far from the core lair.
