Chapter 1271 Virus
"I will go in with you to have a look. In addition, the infection level in the cave is abnormal. Drink the potion first."
Qiu Yaokang is also very curious about the leak of the Breath of Plague. As he spoke, he took out a bottle of purple potion from his backpack and poured it into his mouth, and also gave a bottle to Weilun beside him.
Fang Heng also wanted to go up to pick up the potion, but Qiu Yaokang stopped him with a look.
“Huh? I don’t need to?”
At present, he can still rely on his special constitution to be immune to the plague in the periphery, but this may not be the case once he goes deeper into the cave.
Qiu Yaokang shook his head and said: "No need, the potion was developed using your blood. If you don't use it, it will be a waste."
"Uh..."
Fang Heng was silent, then reached out and pulled out the Book of Beginning, and summoned three light balls in front of everyone.
The ball of light is suspended in the air, shining all around.
"Let's go."
Fang Heng walked out of the bushes and took the lead towards the depths of the mine.
Seeing Fang Heng using the sacred tactics, Lord Chadwick couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
It’s strange, why does this move look so much like the Holy Court’s move?
Looking at the entrance of the mine exposed by Fang Heng's holy light technique in front of him, Chadwick couldn't help but pray in his heart.
Come on! Whether you can keep the mage tower in your territory depends on you!
......
Stepping into the cave, the concentration of the plague's breath was obviously higher.
Three holy light balls rotated above everyone's heads, providing a faint light to illuminate the surroundings.
Qiu Yaokang kept scanning the surrounding area with a detector in his hand.
"The virus here is different from those we have encountered before, and its ability to mutate and infect is limited."
Following this, a line of game prompts appeared on Fang Heng's retina.
[Tip: When the player enters a special area, due to the player's current special physique, the player's current infection index is slightly increased, please be careful].
"Well, speed up."
Fang Heng glanced at the slowly increasing infection index. He just took two steps forward, then suddenly squinted his eyes again and stared into the darkness in the distance.
"Ka, ka..."
Footsteps came from the darkness in the distance.
Huh? Zombies?
Fang Heng was alert.
The creatures stumbling out of Breath of Plague are very similar to zombies, with hollow eyes and slow movements.
"Be careful, it's a corpse."
Weilun explained: "I have seen records of the Breath of Plague in some books, which can resurrect infected creatures."
Qiu Yaokang Looking at the corpses from a distance, he whispered: "I'm afraid it's also the effect of the alienated virus."
More than a dozen corpses gradually emerged from the dark depths shrouded in the plague's breath ahead, heading towards Fang Heng and his party. Gather around.
“Let me test it out.”
Fang Heng nodded and controlled the two lickers behind him who had just resurrected not long ago to greet them.
“Swift!!”
Two lickers flew toward the corpse one after the other!
“Stuck!”
The sharp claws streaked a white light in the air, easily making a huge gash on the corpse at the front and knocking it back. go out.
[Tip: The player’s zombie clone-Licker successfully killed the corpse].
The Licker pounces on the next corpse again.
Fang Heng stood in the distance and observed carefully.
The combat ability of the zombies seems not to be high, and is about the same level as ordinary zombies.
It took the two lickers less than a minute to clean up a nearby pile of corpses.
Qiu Yaokang stepped forward, squatted down and carefully examined the dismembered corpses, then took out a sample collector to extract some samples, muttering to himself in a low voice, "It's interesting."
As he said that, Qiu Yaokang stood Get up and take the sample Putting it into the backpack, Xiang Fang Heng said: "What's interesting is that the corpse cell body has not died. It is still in the process of 'resurrection', which can be completed in one minute at most."
"Resurrection..."
Fang Heng frowned.
Weilun said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about them. I saw it in my notes. The corpses are the same as the protophages we encountered before. They can absorb the breath of plague and resurrect without limit. Seize the time, Let’s check the seal internally first”
"Yeah, okay."
Fang Heng nodded and continued to control the licker to walk at the front and open the way, walking deeper into the passage he had walked through before.
......
Soon, the corpses were cleared along the way, and Fang Heng took the lead in stepping into the room at the end of the passage.
The concentration of black plague breath in the room is extremely high.
A large amount of plague breath leaked from the alchemical magic circle seal in the center of the room.
After confirming that the room was safe, Weilun walked forward quickly, squatted beside the alchemy magic circle to explore for a moment, and frowned.
"How is it?"
Weilun's face looked a little unsightly, and he said in a deep voice: "It's very bad. The outer seal was deliberately destroyed. Judging from the degree of breath leakage , I am afraid that even the internal seal of the abyss has been greatly impacted."
“I suspect that the damage to the sealing magic circle deep in the abyss caused a large amount of plague breath to leak out, which in turn caused the outer seal to be corroded at an accelerated rate. I am afraid that the leaks of plague breath encountered across the empire now are It’s related to the damage to the sealing array in the depths of the abyss.”
Fang Heng frowned and analyzed: "We also encountered the Breath of Plague in the Royal Underground Palace last night, so that passage is also one of the entrances to the abyss?"
"Well, at least it is connected to an entrance to the underground abyss. "
While the two were inspecting, Qiu Yaokang collected part of the Breath of Plague and then followed to check at the entrance of the Sealed Abyss, and also collected some remnants outside the cave.
Fang Heng asked: "Is there a way to suppress the Breath of Plague?"
"The extent of the damage to the inner magic circle requires in-depth exploration to confirm. It is very dangerous to rush forward to explore in our current situation. We can only find a way to slightly repair the outer alchemy magic circle and control the rate of leakage and spread of the plague's breath."
Weilun thought for a while, then nodded and added: "In addition, we can also cooperate with the external mage tower to purify the breath of plague. During the decades I was imprisoned underground, I partially transformed the magic runes inlaid on the magic tower. The effect should be greatly improved.”
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
By the way, there is also the Mage Tower trick!
"I will stay here to repair the magic circle first, and I will leave it to you to run the mage tower outside."
"Okay, the licker will stay here to protect you, so be careful."< br>
"Well, it's just an ordinary corpse. Resurrection is a bit more troublesome, and it's not much of a threat."
Fang Heng nodded and looked at Qiu Yaokang again.
“I have collected almost all the information here.”
Qiu Yaokang saw Fang Heng’s gaze and nodded: “Generally speaking, the Breath of Plague itself is not highly toxic. Specifically It has two abilities, one is to infect the human body and cause death, and the other is to resurrect the dead corpse. These two points are somewhat similar to ours. The zombie viruses in the world are similar to ordinary zombies in terms of combat capabilities."
"In terms of differences, the plague virus has a distinct black aura that is easier to identify, and the corpses are not secondary contagious. The fact that corpses can be resurrected indefinitely is something that zombies cannot do.”
"I judge that the Breath of Plague is the product of the alienation of the Abyss Demon. I am afraid that we will also be affected by the Breath of Plague when we fight against the Abyss Demon in the future. It is particularly important to purify the Breath of Plague. I will find a way to prepare it as soon as possible after I return. The corresponding antidote, and regarding the resurrection ability of corpses, I judge that the Abyss Demon is very likely to have similar abilities..." (End of Chapter)
