At this moment, both Xue Dinglu and the Old Demon King were astonished.
The old Demon Emperor wanted to say something more.
But Xue Dinglu suddenly grabbed the little dragon girl who was still munching on a baguette, and the cursed blood instantly entered her body. Xue Dinglu's pupils constricted as he stared at the mutated dragon behind Obsidian...
"The abnormal gene in that tumor is almost identical to the gene in Little Dragon Girl's body; they belong to the same family!"
"How is this possible?" The old Demon Emperor's mind went blank for a moment.
At this moment, Xue's Law reached a terrifying conclusion: "It's not that the people of this world have adapted to the radiation, but rather that they all have more or less dragon flesh and blood in their bodies. However, their original bodies are incompatible with dragon flesh and blood, so they can only marginalize the dragon flesh and blood and blood, turning it into a tumor..."
"They're not dragon hybrids, I'm sure of it, so there's only one possibility..." Xue Dinglu closed his eyes and stated his conclusion.
"The radiation in this world, or rather, the food and water they drink, is all 'contaminated' by the dragons... and they are born with the genes of the dragons contaminated, and must gradually adapt to the power brought by this contamination..."
"Similarly, they also have a strange symbiotic relationship with the dragons."
Xue Lude had never tried this before. He immediately placed his hand on the ground, and the cursed blood entered the earth like earthworms. Then, the blood transmitted back the information that Xue Lude wanted...
In the soil on this ground, a large number of single cells similar to the tumors on Little Dragon Girl and the sick woman were found, and those single cells were the source of the radiation!
It's as if this entire planet was once soaked in dragon's blood.
Chapter 224 The Curse Titled "Dragon"
No one would have discovered this secret unless they deliberately explored the entire earth.
Just like Xue Lude wouldn't activate the Cursed Blood to explore the anomalies of the entire ground the moment he arrived in this world, and even if he did, without the Little Dragon Girl and this obsidian tumor for comparison, he would still be completely baffled by the anomalies underground.
After Xue Ludao told the old Demon Emperor this information, the near-5th rank old man was also at a loss. He never expected that the world would be like this, and why the soil of the whole world would be full of single-celled organisms filled with dragon blood.
These single-celled organisms seem to constitute the underlying code of this world. They sleep quietly underground, then flow into mountains, rivers, and lakes, enter plants, and eventually join the world's water cycle...
In this way, these things entered one person after another's body and gradually gathered in their bodies, eventually forming a disgusting tumor. After leaving the mother body, these tumors would exhibit "dragon-like" characteristics.
In fact, these single-celled dragon-blooded creatures are the real source of radiation for the entire world. His cursed blood had investigated and found that after removing these single cells, the radiation levels in the other soil were very low.
It's as if these little guys were simply absorbing the original radiation of this world, but due to an accident, they didn't have time to be recovered and were thus placed on every piece of land in the world.
It's as if, like Ziegler in Boston, he spread his body around the world by dispersing it into single-celled "wild bacteria".
Xue Luding and the old Demon Emperor exchanged a glance. At this moment, their eyes revealed intense confusion and a strong desire to investigate this anomaly. This secret was very likely related to the dragon race's rule in this world, as well as the secret of this pure-blooded little dragon girl without any impurities.
Xue's Law and the Old Demon Emperor were brainstorming. At this moment, the two of them listed tables in their consciousness space and filled in more than a dozen hypotheses and possibilities in each table.
The old Demon Emperor proposed a hypothesis that the dragon race would save the world, believing that the dragon race actually wanted to use its power to change the living environment of other races in the world, and even wanted to bring other races in the world to its side.
However, Xue's Law proposed the "harvesting leeks" hypothesis, arguing that these "evil sorcerers" contaminated by dragon blood and growing tumors are merely genetically modified leeks. After the divine tree descends, they can provide the divine tree with more energy, thereby producing higher-quality divine tree fruits.
Of course, the two also put forward many strange hypotheses, such as the world fusion hypothesis, and the hypothesis that the whole world would be twisted into dragon-blooded creatures, etc...
Outside, Xue Lude was like a statue, "The Thinker," while in his consciousness space, he was engaging in several rounds of debate and discussion with the Old Demon Emperor, speculating on the truth of the world.
The little dragon girl who had been grabbed from the side tilted her head in confusion, wondering why "mama" was not moving. But she quickly grabbed another piece of bread knight's leg and began to happily lick the cream on it.
After a long while, Xue Dinglu finally opened his eyes. In this short period of time, their intellectual exchange had yielded more than ten different possible hypotheses, each of which seemed to have some merit, but all of them needed to be verified.
They had even sent the information they had to Senior Olivia through a message board in their consciousness space, hoping that she, who was preparing to infiltrate the dragon clan, would see the message and that the information would be helpful to her.
However, when Xue Dinglu opened his eyes, he saw the woman named "Obsidian" slowly kneeling in front of him. At this moment, the "death dragon" formed by the convergence of tumor and radiation behind her no longer appeared, and the wound of the tumor had been simply bandaged.
"My lord, although it is very presumptuous of me, I have another request..." She lowered her head, her forehead almost touching the ground, as if in complete submission.
Xue's Law: "..."
He was actually very uncomfortable with the etiquette of bowing and kowtowing to him, so he said directly, "Just say what you want to say, as long as I'm willing. By the way, I don't like this kind of etiquette of bowing and kowtowing."
The frail beauty was taken aback. She slowly rose, kneeling on one knee, and said, "Thanks to your power, I have finally escaped the torment of pollution. But I beg you to help a child undergo the same surgery..."
"can."
Not long after, the sickly beauty named Obsidian brought back a timid little girl from outside the cabin. She seemed to be only about the size of a primary school student. At this moment, she was hiding behind Obsidian's thighs in fear, only daring to peek out a little bit at the little dragon girl and Xue Luding who were eating bread in the distance.
Her head was covered in what looked like bird feathers, all fluffy, and her ears were completely hidden by her hair, making it impossible to tell what race she was.
"I'm sorry, sir, I can only beg you to save this child." Obsidian said, gently pulling open the little girl's shirt to show Xue Dinglu a tumor near her heart, connected to most of her shoulder and half of her arm.
Xue's Law: "..."
"We were just saying whether someone would put a tumor in their heart, and look, here it is..." Xue said, seemingly trying to ease the tension.
The old Demon Emperor remained silent, because this girl, who was clearly a primary school student, had even more tumors than the sickly beauty Obsidian, covering almost half of her body.
It's hard to imagine that this tumor could grow on a girl who is not even ten years old, and it's also hard to imagine how she could coexist with this strange thing.
They could understand the advantages of using the heart as a magical organ, since the heart could affect the whole body in the shortest amount of time, so using it as a magical organ here could provide a comprehensive enhancement to the body in a very short time.
However, the cost is that this will also contaminate the whole body in a very short time, because the heart is the organ that provides power for the flow of blood throughout the body. All the blood that flows to the heart will be contaminated, which means that the whole body will be contaminated very quickly.
Just like this child who is less than a meter tall, yet half of his body is almost covered by a tumor.
"Let her lie down, I'll finish the surgery soon." Xue Dinglu's face showed no unusual expression.
After seeing the complete tumor for the first time, he developed a resistance to the second, even more horrifying one. As usual, he poured the cursed blood into the little girl's body and casually asked, "Is she your relative? Or your daughter?"
"Yes, she is the daughter of an old friend, but the friend has passed away, so I have to take care of her..." The sickly woman looked at the girl receiving treatment with a doting expression, comforting the frightened child, but her eyes were slightly dim.
"Oh..." Xue Dinglu asked casually, he had no intention of checking her background, but he did not expect that this woman would reveal her entire romantic history.
Practice makes perfect. After successfully performing surgery on Obsidian, even though the little girl's tumor was located in her heart, it wasn't a major problem. Xue Law removed the entire tumor, then repaired her injured heart through illusionary materialization, and finally inserted the entire tumor into her materialized soul.
Everything is going smooth.
With the triple blessing of cursed blood, illusion manifestation, and holy light healing, Xue's Law can bring back any undead person, as long as they are not a soul.
Xue's Law can even attempt to rescue people who are purely dead and whose souls are not the real thing; for example, he rescued the mystic Austin.
The little girl didn't even seem to feel much; she was still there with the bandages on. Then Xue Dinglu said directly, "The surgery was successful. You can get up, but this injury might affect your future fertility."
The little girl looked at the sickly beauty Obsidian beside her with a puzzled expression, and Obsidian asked directly, "Why would it affect fertility?"
"Didn't you see that half of this girl's chest has collapsed?" Xue Dinglu stared at the sickly beauty with an expression as if she were illiterate, making her turn her head away.
Actually, the girl's tumor was located in her heart, and half of her ribs were contaminated and had to be removed. After the surgery, Xue Dinglu could only use his imagination to repair a small part of the ribs.
Based on the characteristics of the first patient, her death dragon should have come out of her heart.
So even when she grows up, she'll only have half the size of a breast...
Alternatively, she could relinquish her power and completely eliminate the need for this magical organ, allowing Xue Lude to fully repair her ribs and then use other parts as new magical organs, such as the appendix.
He always felt that for the people of this world, the appendix, as a magical organ, was the most cost-effective part.
First, the appendix is part of the intestines and has a large number of blood vessels. The time it takes for the blood to spread throughout the body is only slower than that of the heart. Second, the appendix is useless. Even if the tumor spreads, the appendix can be removed.
"Uh..." Xue Dinglu's words caused a slight change in the expression of this sickly beauty.
"Try using its power." Xue Luding took off his disposable gloves. Only here did he finally realize the importance of the memories and knowledge that "Doctor Xue Luding" had given him, making him feel like a real medical student, rather than just a charlatan using the cursed blood.
The little girl began to sense it, and the next moment, just as Xue Dinglu had guessed, her chest suddenly went berserk, and a terrifying dragon head emerged from her heart, its sharp teeth exposed in the air. This dead dragon only showed its head, but it pounced on Xue Dinglu with a ferocious killing intent and as if it wanted to tear him apart.
Then, stunned by Xue's slap, he could only shrink back, leaving only his head exposed, and helplessly breathed on Xue's slap.
However, something seems off about this dragon head...
"Why doesn't this little girl's dead dragon look like a dragon?" The old Demon Emperor noticed something was wrong and said, "It looks more like a Tyrannosaurus Rex from your world."
Xue's Law: "???"
He immediately stuck his head out to take a look, and sure enough, the thing didn't look like a giant dragon, but more like the head of a theropod dinosaur from the lower end of the Tyrannosaurus genus.
Chapter 225 Oh no, what do we do now that the undercover agent has become the boss?
Despite the many differences, the old Demon Emperor was not wrong. The obsidian dragon resembled a miniature version of a half-dragon, but the dragon formed from the little girl's tumor looked like the head of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
It has sharp teeth and a body covered with a little downy hair instead of the scales of a reptile, and its entire dragon head looks defiant, as if it's breathing on Xue's Law.
This confirms the initial feeling that the cursed blood had returned: these tumors have their own life and consciousness. They are like individuals living in symbiosis with the mother, or like an extension of the mother, and at the same time, they are the source of power for the natives of this world.
Although that thing resembled a Tyrannosaurus Rex, the DNA transmitted back by the cursed blood was similar in characteristics to that of the little dragon girl and also similar to the tumor on Obsidian's body, but due to special circumstances, it had a specific evolution and origin...
Just as Xue Lude was pondering, the two women, one tall and one short, knelt down on one knee again. The sickly beauty named Obsidian held a tree branch in her hand and seemed to be speaking solemnly.
"My lord, I, 'Obsidian,' swear allegiance to you with the utmost solemnity of this moment. May you lead us forward, and we will be your sharpest blade, never to change." She performed what seemed to be some kind of oath of allegiance in this world, breaking the branch in her hand with one knee.
"If I break this oath, may I be punished with this stick!"
The branch broke off by her knee, and she completed her oath of allegiance.
Although Xue's Law didn't require this oath of allegiance, he was just puzzled as to why people in your world swear allegiance by breaking tree branches with their knees. Wasn't this ritual a bit absurd?
The little girl also imitated the sickly beauty's posture to swear allegiance. In her hand, she no longer held a branch but something like a stalk of grass. Perhaps Obsidian was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to break the branch, thus losing her manners.
Just after the oath was taken, there was a knock on the door, and then a person brought in a large stack of papers.
This is the world information that Xue Lude needs to know. Although these refugees may not know much, he doesn't have high expectations. What he wants to know more about is the folk myths and legends passed down orally in ancient times.
After all, the folk myths of a place basically represent the origin and culture of their race, and the ancient information that can be obtained from folk myths may be more than that that can be collected in a proper way.
Looking at the two women, one big and one small, who had just broken their canes on their own, Xue Dinglu recalled the helplessness he felt when he came to the fairy tale world and faced the local natives.
At this point, the more seriously you speak, the more they misunderstand you. On the contrary, pretending to be a charlatan can produce better results. That's how bizarre it is.
Similarly, he also became interested in the "dead dragons" on other people in this world.
Since the dragon on this little girl's body is a Tyrannosaurus Rex, could there be other miscellaneous types? In that case, what is the relationship between the dragons of this world and the dinosaurs of the Cretaceous Earth?
No wonder Xue's Law is thinking wildly in this direction, mainly because the dinosaurs on Earth were wiped out by the arrival of the primitive life form of the Divine Tree, and this world just happens to be related to the Divine Tree...
In addition, there are now readily available refugees here. Since he's already here, and he's not the main character in this world anyway, with his senior Olivia taking the lead, he only needs to be ready to provide support and assistance at any time. His original plan was to travel the world with the old Demon Emperor to collect intelligence.
After all, looking at these refugees who were clearly desperate to survive...
Oh well, we're already here...
“Obsidian, then you compile a list of all the people with the most severe contamination. I will perform surgery on all of them to free them from the corruption of fel energy without affecting their ability to use it, just like you guys,” Xue Luding said casually, as if he were talking about having barbecue tonight.
However, this casual remark startled the sickly beauty, who asked with difficulty, "Commander-in-Chief, are you really willing to save everyone?"
Xue's Law: "..."
His title inexplicably changed from "that person" to "the Grand Commander".
Whatever, it doesn't matter, whatever.
