Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 379: Excited Xia Guagua, Mutated Gnawing Insects

As the juice on the crystal bud was sucked by the gnawing insect larvae, the crystalline energy contained in the leaves also entered the body of the gnawing insect larvae along with the life energy.

The next moment, this crystalline energy began to confront the scarlet energy of the gnawing insect, which seemed to come from the abyss.

Perhaps this gnawing insect larva is a weak and coincidentally "premature baby", and its own energy is very weak.

As the gnawing insect larvae continued to suck the juice, the ice-blue crystalline energy gradually took the initiative in its body, beating the scarlet energy back.

Finally, as most of the juice from a leaf was sucked out, the gnawing insect larva was finally full, and it felt a little more energy in its body. Its bones gradually grew, and everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.

What the gnawing insect larvae didn't notice was that the patterns on its wings had completely turned into ice blue at this moment.

Through the still somewhat soft and transparent shell, one can see that in the blood vessels and energy circuits flowing in the body of the gnawing insect larvae, the scarlet energy has long disappeared, leaving only a faint silver energy flowing inside.

After eating and drinking, the young gnawing insect larvae fell into sleep again in drowsiness. The crystal buds under it continuously released gentle energy, which echoed with the energy in the gnawing insect's body and began to transform the gnawing insect larvae's small body, which still had extremely high plasticity.

The shape and body shape of the gnawing insects also gradually underwent some wonderful changes during this transformation.

The next day, Star Stronghold.

Xia Guagua acted as if she had discovered some new toy, and directed several tightly wrapped doctors to move the hunter, who was still unconscious but looked much better, into her cave.

Xia Guagua had never seen such a strange thing. The blood taken from the hunter actually contained a very strange energy toxin.

Yes, an energy virus, and it’s a contagious one!

This virus automatically reacts with the energy in the body of an organism, thereby diluting and precisely separating the energy from the organism itself.

Xia Guagua felt as if it was some kind of creature that had evolved specifically to absorb energy from living organisms.

This thing that goes beyond conventional toxins is more interesting to him than the previous Crazy Dragon Virus. Especially after he completed his own mutation and became a special individual among the Xialong, he was a little confused about the future for a while. The emergence of this virus really gave him some new ideas. Perhaps his toxins can also be further developed by targeting energy.

Therefore, after helping to stabilize the vital signs of the hunter and a doctor, Xia Guagua asked them to move to her cave for her research.

Of course, it’s okay to heal yourself at the same time.

As for whether this virus will have an impact on him and Xiao Xialong, there is no need to worry at all.

If the life energy in the human body was not at the bottom of the world, and the virus stripped away the already limited life energy, the body's functions would quickly drop to freezing point.

This energy virus that can't even poison a large monster is not a big problem at all. And according to the solution that Xia Guagua got after using the super brain, He has two countermeasures.

One is to use medicinal mist to continuously inject energy within the hunter's tolerable range to offset the loss of life energy caused by the energy virus, and then metabolize these toxins through the hunter's own physical fitness.

Second, the most commonly used method is to fight poison with poison!
Toxins are also a kind of energy. As long as the toxicity is sufficient, these viruses will naturally die after absorbing the toxins. And because the viruses absorb the toxins and reduce their toxicity, as long as the antidote is prepared, the hunter does not have to worry about dying from the toxins.

After getting Xialong's assurance, the commander-in-chief was completely relieved. Looking at Xialong's happy expression, he knew that the plague probably would not spread, and the Star Stronghold had successfully avoided a disaster that had not yet broken out.

"Then the next thing is to investigate. The Great Ant Mound Wasteland? That's really troublesome!"

I don’t know if the trouble the commander-in-chief was referring to was the red bug, or the ancient dragon named Jue Yinlong that the repairman was talking about.

Soon, a survey team led by a swordsman master, fully armed, rode on pterosaurs and flew towards the Great Ant Mound Wasteland. At their waists, several Detels from the Wasteland Guardian Clan held their belts tightly to guide them.

On the ancient tree, Luo Yun licked his dragon egg with great interest. Although he was a little annoyed that this unborn little guy had diverted a lot of Yaji's attention, it was his first time being a father after all, and he was still very much looking forward to the birth of this little guy.

On the side, Yaji was eating while watching Luo Yun. Seeing how harmonious Luo Yun and Longdan were, she finally let down her guard.

She had heard from some female fire dragons that some male fire dragons would become nervous because it was their first time being a father. They always felt that they had lost the attention of their partners, and therefore would inexplicably develop some hostility towards dragon eggs.

Therefore, until the male fire dragon has completely adapted to the new family member, the female fire dragon will guard the eggs very closely.

Besides, this egg was something that Yaji had finally conceived and given birth to after so many years, so she naturally didn't want any problems to occur.

As for not trusting Luo Yun, it was because Luo Yun had been trying to get the eggs out of the nest for several nights. His jealous look really made it impossible for Yaji to trust him.

Luo Yun had nothing to defend himself against this. He had let it go anyway. In five or six years at most, Yaji's attention would naturally return to him. By then, true love would still be true love, and the child would become an accident.

Luo Yun continued to live a happy life on the ancient tree.

In the hollow of the ancient tree, the gnawing insect larva has completely changed its appearance over time. Its size has increased a lot, and it is no longer in a state where it could die at any time.

In terms of appearance, apart from its slender body shape, there is basically no sign of gnawing insects on its body. The overall color tone has turned into a mixture of blue and silver. Its ferocious mouthparts have gradually become flat, evolving in the direction of being more convenient for sucking tree sap. The edges of its pair of ice-blue wings have also emerged with transparent crystals like the branches of Taijing.

And such changes have not completely stopped. Under the influence of the magical life energy and the domineering Tai crystal energy, its way of survival will further transform until it completely adapts to and relies on the ancient tree environment.
