Chapter 256 Decomposing the Dragon Corpse
"My lord, congratulations, you have become the second dragon slayer in the history of the empire after St. George." Samantha came to Perfectcott's side and looked at Looking at the dragon pierced by spikes in front of her, he congratulated her.
Perfect just smiled slightly and said: "This is not my credit. You have consumed most of its life and have broken its defense, so I was able to hit it with one blow. .
This time, all knights who participated in the battle can add a dragon to their coat of arms, indicating that you participated in this dragon-slaying battle.
The company of the Guards can also join. Add a dragon head to their company flag as their honor, and I will have additional rewards later. Let’s dismantle this dragon first.”
As the blue bird spoke, he controlled the rock gun to retract to the ground, and the dead dragon was drained of blood by the blue bird, and fell to the ground, becoming increasingly pale.
At this time, Blue Bird and Samantha were able to observe the pale dragon in detail, and saw that there were still some dark red pieces of rotting meat hanging on the pale dragon corpse.
Between these pieces of meat and the dragon corpse, there are traces of gray-white miasma flowing.
"Interesting, its body is consciously gathering miasma. Even if it is dead, these miasmas are still covering its body." Purficott showed a curious expression, and then used his mental power to control it. One of the miasmas came in front of him, and he wanted to see what was going on.
"Your Majesty, please be careful! This thing is highly poisonous!" Samantha on the side quickly reminded Purficott, telling her to be more careful.
"It's okay, I didn't come into contact with it." Although Purficott gathered the miasma in front of her, she always maintained no direct contact with the miasma.
Not only that, she also covered her palms with a layer of high-speed flowing air, forming a shield to envelop this miasma.
At this time, Purficott had discovered that this miasma was actually a kind of microorganism invisible to the naked eye. They produced hydrogen sulfide gas by decomposing the proteins contained in the carrion, and these gases It is an important source of energy for the dragon in front of him to survive, and there should be a symbiotic relationship between the two.
However, because there are too many corpses wrapped in this giant dragon, and because it is a giant dragon after all, its strong vitality and the special energy that escapes allow more and more such microorganisms to gather on its body, and eventually Only then did a gray-white airflow form.
But it is actually a group of tiny microorganisms gathered together.
Purficott became interested in this kind of microorganism. After peeling them off from the dragon, he also put them in a container, intending to take them back and study them carefully.
As for the dragon's body, Purficott did not let the guard soldiers take action.
On the one hand, they felt that these soldiers were not capable of handling the corpse of a giant dragon. On the other hand, they were worried that any toxic and harmful bacteria remaining on the dragon's corpse would harm them.
After all, this giant dragon has been covered with corpses all year round. As bacteria and corruption breed, no one knows how many germs it has on its body.
Even Purficott himself did not dare to do it, and could only rely on alchemy to peel off the carrion from the dragon bit by bit.
After peeling off all the carrion, Purficott only kept a small amount of carrion samples for research, and the rest was piled together with the carrion that had been knocked down in the battle just now, and was set on fire.
Who knows how many viruses there are in these rotting corpses that have been piled up for who knows how long? Feel relieved after burning. The remaining dragon corpse was simply decomposed by Purficott, cut into pieces of different sizes, and then frozen by Purficott using alchemy.
This is a giant dragon after all. Purficott does not intend to break it down into materials casually, but intends to study its body structure carefully. See if you can find anything special.
In the battle just now, she saw the dragon breathing fire with her own eyes. She thought it was a very interesting ability. Maybe she could figure out the principle through studying the dragon's body structure. Then make a new weapon.
You must know that the white dragon flame just melted the metal armor of the Steam Knight. This temperature is already quite astonishing. If it can be reproduced, it will be very useful in metal processing, smelting and other aspects.
After all the corpses were disposed of, the Guard soldiers pushed the trailer processed by Purficott on site and transported all the body parts away.
They will return directly to Eagle Beak Cliff. After all, even if the alchemy performed by Perficott can freeze these body parts for a long time, they still need to be put into the warehouse for proper preservation as soon as possible.
As for why Purphycott didn’t use the petrification technique to turn these corpses into stones first, and then transform them back after being transported back, the main reason was that Purphycott didn’t know enough about the dragon’s body, and she was worried about herself After turning the dragon corpse into stone, it could not change back, or there might be differences that she ignored.
If it were her parents here, maybe they could do this?
This thought flashed through Purficott's mind, but then she didn't think about it any more, but accompanied by Samantha, she came to the edge of the cliff again.
Looking at the oil lake in the valley below and the miasma accumulated in the valley, Perfectcott couldn't help but sigh.
Even if the giant dragon has been dealt with, it is still not easy to go down to the valley to mine the oil lake.
Fortunately, now that there is no interference from the dragon, she can find a way to deal with the miasma in the valley, or let the people going down wear enough protection. In short, without the threat of the dragon, Death Valley has become much less dangerous for Perfectcourt.
"Samantha, ask Eagle Beak Cliff to dispatch a team of construction workers to build a camp here." Purficott already had a comprehensive idea in her mind, and she asked Samantha issued his own order.
Samantha was not surprised by this order, and immediately sent someone to send a report to Eagle Beak Cliff, asking them to send people to build the camp needed by Perfect Court.
She herself continued to follow Purfict, and just asked her out of curiosity: "My lord, are you going to develop this valley?"
"Yes. Yes, that oil lake is a priceless treasure. If it can be developed, the entire northern border will not need to burn coal in the future." Purficott looked at Samantha and explained with a smile.
And Samantha looked at the oil lake in disbelief. It was hard to imagine how it could stop coal burning in the north.
