222 Ice dragon lung perforation
Xue Yi speculated that it was precisely because the ice dragon devoured the thousand-year-old ice heart that it caused internal injuries.
Xue Yi asked the Ice Dragon, "After devouring the Ice Heart for a thousand years, has your body undergone significant changes?"
The ice dragon's eyes once again showed a look of pain, and he recalled: "Originally, my body was green, but because I have taken the ice heart for thousands of years, my body has become as white as ice and snow. And the appearance has also changed, especially the pair of wings, which have turned into ice and snow carvings. β
"It seems that because of devouring the thousand-year-old ice heart, your body has mutated. Xue Yi finally concluded, "It's true that there are no ice dragons on the continent, and because of your body mutation, you have become the only ice dragon. β
After listening to Xue Yi's words, the ice dragon seemed to ponder for a moment, and asked Xue Yi, "So now do you know what is wrong in my body?"
Xue Yi said: "All dragons can live on land, but you can't, and I guess you probably have a lung problem." But now my soul is created and can't leave my body, so I can't find out what's wrong with your lungs. β
After listening to Xue Yi's words, the ice dragon was slightly anxious, and said, "You are a dragon doctor, you should have a way." β
Xue Yi nodded: "There is a way, but I'm afraid you won't." β
"Tell me about it. β
"The only way now is for me to cut your belly open with a scalpel and find your lungs, and then I can see what is really hurting your lungs. Xue Yi said.
"Hahahaha......" The ice dragon actually laughed when he heard this. Say, "You little human can cut through my scales, and you've been devouring the Ice Heart for thousands of years." My self-healing ability has improved a lot, even if you can cut my scales, my body will heal quickly, what should you do?"
Xue Yi listened, but smiled indifferently and said, "Won't you know if you try it?" As he spoke, Xue Yi took out a dagger made of dragon teeth.
The Ice Dragon has evolved into an adult dragon, and the adult dragon is not just scaly. The flesh is also extremely strong, and it is impossible for an ordinary scalpel to pierce its skin, so Xue Yi must use a dragon tooth dagger.
Xue Yi roughly estimated the location of the ice dragon's lungs. Then the dragon's tooth dagger stabbed downward.
Burst.
As soon as Xue Yi exerted his strength, the dragon's tooth dagger pierced into the ice dragon's skin. Xue Yi swiped harder, and a hole more than three meters long appeared in the dragon's abdomen.
Seeing this, the ice dragon showed a little surprise in his eyes, which seemed to have no eyeballs. It is an adult dragon. The scales have reached terrifying levels of solidity. Not to mention an ordinary sword, even if there are many high-grade weapons, they may not be able to hurt him. Unexpectedly, this human could easily make a cut in its abdomen with just a small dagger.
As a mutated dragon, it didn't know what ordinary dragon teeth looked like, and the dragon tooth dagger in Xue Yi's hand couldn't see the dragon tooth at all, so it didn't know that what Xue Yi was holding in his hand was the dragon tooth dagger.
At this time, the ice dragon's abdomen was cut open, but it barely felt much pain. The three-meter-long opening is terrifying. But for a huge ice dragon that reaches a length of nearly fifty meters, this cut is like a small cut in a human body by a blade. It's not worth mentioning at all. Moreover, not a drop of blood flowed from the flesh on both sides of the cut hole, but quickly froze, and the ice on both sides quickly extended and docked together. Through the ice, it can be seen that its skin and blood are recovering at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Xue Yi was very surprised by this: "It is really rare that the self-healing ability is so strong. β
There was a slight hint of smugness in the ice dragon's voice, and he nodded and said, "That's nature. β
But before its words fell, Xue Yi took out several dragon crystals, used the dragon tooth dagger to cut them into pieces, and then re-drew a gap, sprinkling the pieces of dragon crystals on the meat on both sides of the mouth.
As a result, the flesh and blood on both sides no longer froze, and even shed a few drops of blood.
The ice dragon was even more surprised: "The wound has not healed!"
This time it was Xue Yi's turn to be proud, he put away the dragon tooth dagger and said, "That's nature. β
In fact, Xue Yi knew a long time ago that the dragon crystal was condensed from the blood of the dragons with the purest blood in ancient times, and it contained a special kind of heat, which usually does not appear, but as soon as it encounters dragon blood, this heat will be stimulated. Now that these dragon crystal fragments encounter the blood of the ice dragon, the heat is stimulated, so that the wound of the ice dragon is no longer frozen, and the wound naturally cannot heal.
Xue Yi did all this, and then got through the wound.
As soon as he entered the ice dragon's body, he suddenly felt a biting chill coming, and Xue Yi couldn't help but shiver, his teeth gurgling.
The surrounding seawater poured into the ice dragon's body, and it seemed that it could not have any effect on the ice dragon. Xue Yi entered the dragon's body, estimated the location of the dragon's lungs, opened some blood vessels as thick as human arms and some hard flesh tissues, and found the lungs. The dragon had two lungs, and Xue Yi circled around them and examined them carefully. Half of the lungs were covered with a thin layer of ice. And in the center of the ice, there is a small hole the thickness of a finger. The same is true for the other lung.
Xue Yi suddenly realized in his heart.
At this time, the voice of the ice dragon came: "Did you find it?"
Xue Yi said in the ice dragon's body, "Found it." I think you probably swallowed the thousand-year-old ice heart, and the cold breath of the thousand-year-old ice heart frostbitten your lungs. Although you have a strong constitution and survived, you still have injuries left in your lungs, and both of your lungs are perforated. Commonly known as alveolar rupture. Because your alveoli have ruptured, you can't breathe on land. β
Seeing that Xue Yi had really found the cause, the ice dragon's tone softened a lot, and he was no longer as cold as he was just now. He said to Xue Yi, "What now?"
"In general, if the lung perforation is not severe, it can be treated with medication alone. Your size is so huge, these two piercings are not serious for you. Half of your lungs are covered in ice, though, and I don't think medication will do much. So there are only two other methods. Xue Yi analyzed.
"What's the method?" the ice dragon asked.
"The first is lung repair surgery. Xue Yi said, "With a special method." Remove the ice from your lungs so that your blood vessels supply blood to your lungs. Your body has a strong ability to heal itself, and as long as there is a blood supply, it should heal quickly. β
"What about the second way?"
"The second method requires lobectomy. After surgery, there is usually no impact on life, but in certain circumstances. For example, under high pressure and high temperature, there will be certain breathing difficulties. I suggest you choose the first one?" Xue Yi suggested to the ice dragon.
The ice dragon didn't think about it, but said, "Method or something." It's up to you, as long as you can cure me. However, if it is not cured, you should know the consequences. β
Xue Yi laughed twice. Withdrew from the dragon's body. said: "Don't worry, eighth-level dragon doctor, that's not blowing." β
Saying that, Xue Yi took out dozens of dragon crystals, made a heartache and said, "These are more than forty dragon crystals, enough for me to spend for a few years." β
The ice dragon sneered disdainfully and said, "In the room on the left side of this courtyard, there are countless treasures, and I don't need them. Just cure my illness. Take these treasures with you. β
Xue Yi listened to it and was overjoyed.
Although he is not a miser. But for dragon knights, the more wealth is always better. Although he is no longer a dragon knight, he has never given up his efforts to become a dragon knight again.
Use the dragon tooth dagger to chop all the more than forty dragon crystals into pieces. At this time, the dragon crystal on the dragon's knife edge had been consumed, and it seemed that it was about to begin to heal again. Xue Yi was secretly surprised in his heart, this ice dragon's self-healing ability was also too strong.
Xue Yi sprinkled some dragon crystal fragments onto the knife edge again, and the ice on the knife edge melted again, and the healing slowed down.
Xue Yi dipped the remaining fragments in some dragon blood on the dragon's knife edge, and then quickly squeezed into the dragon's body, came to the dragon's lungs, and pasted those dragon crystal fragments on the dragon's lungs.
The layers of ice in the dragon's lungs immediately melted at a speed visible to the naked eye when they came into contact with the dragon crystals stained with dragon blood.
Soon, in less than ten minutes, the ice had completely melted.
At this time, the dragon's lungs quietly changed. I saw that the dragon's already extremely stiff blood vessels began to gradually soften. Moistened by the blood, the color of the dragon's lungs also changed from black-red to normal dark red. When both lungs turned dark red, a faint layer of ice appeared on the small holes the thickness of the two fingers. However, the current ice is completely different from the ice that wrapped the lungs before, and the previous ice was indestructible for thousands of years. But the current ice layer is an ice layer formed by the dragon's body for healing, and it has vitality.
Xue Yi saw that the dragon's lungs had recovered, and then he retreated from the knife again.
At this time, the dragon crystal fragments on the knife edge had almost been consumed, and the knife edge had healed again in less than five minutes, and it was as good as ever, as if it had never had a knife edge.
"Alright," Xue Yi said, "try to go to the surface of the sea and take two breaths." β
The ice dragon listened to Xue Yi's words, and immediately jumped up, and with a flap of its wings, the sea water churned. It swam towards the surface of the sea at great speed.
However, before leaving, its long tail rolled up, dragging Xue Yi towards the surface of the sea.
Xue Yi only felt that the huge impact of the oncoming sea water made his face deform, and his body felt a kind of tearing pain.
Soon, however, the pain suddenly disappeared, and a huge light suddenly appeared in front of him. They have already flown out of the sea.
The ice dragon didn't breathe immediately, hovering in mid-air, it had been a thousand years, and it seemed like it had forgotten how to breathe.
"Try to breathe. Xue Yi said.
The ice dragon glanced at Xue Yi and flapped his wings slightly.
Exhaleβa mouthful of turbid air was exhaled, and then, its lungs shrank and shrank, and a breath of fresh sea-smelling air was inhaled through its nose and unabsurably smooth to its lungs.
"I ...... Finally able to breathe on the water. The ice dragon's eyesless eyes flashed with excitement. (To be continued......)
