Chapter 160: The Beast of the Underworld and the Beast of War
"The secret of eternal life?" To be honest, even as the biggest god stick in the world today, Chen Fan felt that this was a bit nonsense.
What is eternal life? Heaven and earth will die, and I will not perish, and even the gods cannot do it.
Although the ruler of Hades lived for at least a thousand years, this can only be called immortality at most, and it is not the same concept as eternal life at all.
Seeing Chen Fan's surprised expression, Li Jianchun looked a little proud, but he was unwilling to reveal more information, making Chen Fan feel like eating a fly.
Later, when he came to a research room, Chen Fan put Ran Manjun on the bed, and Li Jianchun asked, "How do you check her?"
Chen Fan thought for a moment and said, "How you examine the sample of that skeleton monster, you can check her." ”
"Huh?" Li Jianchun felt inexplicable, but he didn't ask much, only said: "Then it's enough to get some fingernails or blood or something, you carry her whole, are you going to let us slice it?"
Chen Fan's face darkened: "You can cut it and try it." ”
Li Jianchun: "Just kidding, I really don't have a sense of humor." ”
Chen Fan didn't have the intention of joking with Li Jianchun, and after leaving Ran Manjun behind, he went to another research room with Li Jianchun.
There are more than a dozen people here who are in full swing sorting out and recording materials.
"Professor Li, can you tell me now?"
Li Jianchun said pretendically: "Guess where that bone monster came from." ”
"Do you guess me?"
"It's boring. Li Jianchun said boringly: "After our testing, that skeleton monster has the same genetic sequence as the giant demonic beast in Nanyang Gate 1. So unsurprisingly, they should be related by blood and be close relatives. ”
Thinking about the appearance of the two monsters, Chen Fan really couldn't connect them.
It's not a species at all, is it?
But the bone monster came from the underworld, and Chen Fan was not surprised. And he felt that the monster was most likely one of the twelve Hades kings.
Seeing that Chen Fan had no waves, Li Jianchun completely lost his mood to show off, and continued: "And the title of Warcraft is not appropriate for them. ”
Chen Fan: "Why?"
"From our research, we know that the little monsters that rushed out of Nanyang Gate 1 are not the same kind of creatures as those two big guys at all. ”
"Isn't this normal?" Chen Fan puzzled: "Cats and dogs are not the same kind of creatures, they are huge and small, and there is nothing unusual about biodiversity. ”
"That's not what it means. For example, we and other organisms in nature evolved from a single cell. Even after hundreds of millions of years of change, it can still be traced back to homologous genes. ”
"But we and other animals can't be traced back to the same origin as the fierce beasts in the small world of Jade Void. Therefore, the fierce beasts of our native world and the small world of Jade Void are two completely different biotas. The Yuxu Small World and the Kunlun Small World, as well as the newly emerged South 2 and South 3 Worlds, in which organisms can be traced back to homologous genes. ”
This can prove that these four small worlds are indeed fragments of the heavenly realm. The creatures inside had a common ancestor hundreds of millions of years or more. ”
Chen Fan seems to understand whether he understands or not, and he understands a rough idea.
Li Jianchun continued: "In the same way, the creatures in the Jade Void Small World, the Native World, and the South No. 1 World are all different biotas. But ......"
He paused, organized his words, and said, "The creature called the Warcraft, and the giant creature you defeated, also belong to different biotas. In other words, those demonic beasts that invaded NY City were not creatures that naturally evolved from the underworld. Of course, they are not from the celestial realm and the human realm in which we live. ”
Without waiting for Chen Fan to ask about the origin of the demonic beast, Li Jianchun said again: "As for the other creatures in Nanyang No. 1, they have the same origin as those two giant monsters, and they should be products of the underworld. So if you want to subdivide it specifically, those monsters that can build nests are called Warcraft, and the big guy and other creatures that are hunted by Warcraft should be called Hades Beasts. ”
Of course, for many people, this is just a change in title, and there is no need to dwell on it.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, whether it is a dark beast or a demonic beast, they are all enemies of human beings, and it is enough to understand this.
But people like Chen Fan naturally think more. Since the Demonic Beast does not belong to the Three Realms, where did it come from, and why did it take root in the fragments of the world of the Underworld.
Whether this species is an accident or whether there is a large group behind it is unknown.
And the research in this direction can only be handed over to Li Jianchun for the time being.
"What is the secret of eternal life?" Chen Fan asked what he was most interested in.
Li Jianchun took out a copy from a pile of materials, opened it, pointed to all kinds of data that Chen Fan couldn't understand at all, and said, "Didn't that skeleton monster last time have a terrifying regeneration ability? It's just that maybe it's because of 'death', the speed of regeneration has dropped a lot, and it's harder to detect than before. ”
"This is what you call eternal life?" Chen Fan was full of disdain, your understanding of eternal life is too superficial, right?
Li Jianchun didn't think so, but said proudly: "Judging from the data we have collected, although the self-recovery speed of the wreckage is slow, its activity has not decreased. In other words, if left unchecked, one day it will inevitably grow into its previous perfection again. And even if it is destroyed again, it is very likely that the cycle will continue. To put it bluntly, it is to be able to be resurrected infinitely, what is this not eternal life?"
It sounded like that, but Chen Fan still shook his head again and again.
Li Jianchun was not discouraged and continued: "And this kind of property that can be continuously regenerated, if we can apply it to medical treatment. Do you dare to imagine how the world will change?"
Seeing him like this, Chen Fan didn't dampen his enthusiasm this time. just said: "There is a long way to go, you should work hard." ”
In the final analysis, Li Jianchun's mysterious secret did not attract Chen Fan's attention. On the contrary, it was about the difference between Warcraft and Underworld Beasts, which made Chen Fan even more interested.
"It's a pity that the insect mother of those demonic beasts was directly vaporized because they were too close to the nuclear explosion. Otherwise, maybe we can study its brain and unlock the secrets of this race. Li Jianchun was very sorry, and looked at Chen Fan's eyes with a little disgust.
Damn, this can also be on my head? Am I not right to blow that thing up with a nuclear bomb? I'm sorry I didn't leave you a whole corpse.
Chen Fan rolled his eyes and was about to say goodbye, when a researcher ran over in embarrassment.
"No, no!"
"What's going on, panic. Li Jianchun hugged him, and when he saw that there were blood stains on his body, he immediately became serious: "What's wrong!?"
The researcher panicked, only looked at Chen Fan and hurriedly said, "Then, the female student who was brought by Master Chen ran away." ”
"Escape?" Li Jianchun looked at Chen Fan puzzled.
Chen Fan wiped some of the blood on the researcher's body and asked in a deep voice, "She killed someone?"
"Well, not really. But two of the guards were wounded by her, and I was so close that I splattered some blood. ”
Hearing this, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became uneasy again.
The current Ran Manjun is extremely abnormal, and his behavior is completely unpredictable. If she is allowed to run around outside, she may make some mess!
At this moment, another researcher hurriedly walked over, still holding a test report in his hand.
"Professor......
Seeing his hesitant appearance, Li Jianchun said angrily: "What's the matter! If you have something to say, just say it!"
Mr. Chen's student...... Well, it's up to you to see for yourself. ”
Li Jianchun took the report, and his face changed greatly after a short time.
"Mr. Chen, you are a student...... It's kind of dangerous. ”
......
In the well-organized city, dozens of teams of military personnel have already been sent out to conduct an all-round search.
Even Chen Fan himself took action in person, sitting in a military vehicle to follow the action.
Next to him, sat Li Jianchun, who was full of melancholy.
"Mr. Chen, don't worry. Although the situation is not optimistic, she should not have problems in the short term. ”
Hearing Li Jianchun's words, Chen Fan couldn't put his mind at ease.
From the inspection report of the research institute, it is known that today's Ran Manjun can no longer be called a human being.
Not only does she have the genetic sequence of that bone monster in her body, but also the Horn Ruler's Hades!
The bloodlines of the two powerful underworld beasts have completely suppressed the bloodlines of her human race, and they are carrying out an all-round 'transformation' on her. Most of the drastic changes in his personality were also influenced by this.
This is not the most important thing, Chen Fan had already known before that Ran Manjun had similar abilities to that bone troll.
Now add a ruler Hades, with the growth rate of Ran Manjun. It won't be long before no one can restrain her.
With her current temperament, the devil knows what she's going to do.
"But there is one thing I still can't figure out, why she was able to fuse the genetic sequences of those two monsters, and even inherit abilities. It doesn't make sense......"
Li Jianchun was still chattering on the side, and Chen Fan didn't have the heart to listen.
Although this city is large, it can send a lot of people. Coupled with the fact that there are surveillance probes everywhere, it is not difficult to find a person.
Soon, news came.
Ran Manjun left the small world of Jade Void.
By the time Chen Fan arrived at the gate, more than half an hour had passed since Ran Manjun left here.
"I'm sorry Master Chen, we see that she is your student, so ......"
Ran Manjun was already famous, and she came with Chen Fan, so these sentinels guarding the gate would naturally not embarrass her.
"Mr. Chen, what should I do now? Do you want to inform the higher-ups?" Li Jianchun was still more cautious, and besides, he didn't have the same feelings for Ran Manjun as Chen Fan.
In his eyes, Ran Manjun at this moment is a time bomb, and it is the kind that can overwhelm mountains and seas.
It stands to reason that Chen Fan shouldn't hide such a big thing.
But once the higher levels are notified, Ran Manjun will be hunted down nationwide. Including her family, it will also be greatly affected.
Personally, Chen Fan certainly hopes for a better solution.
After hesitating, Chen Fan still said, "Report it." ”
