The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 325: Put Everything Else Aside, the Tail Is the Most Important

"Hereditary disease?" Hao Ren frowned slightly, "So, sooner or later, the demon hunters will be exterminated?"

"It shouldn't be so extreme, but it is certain that they will continue to weaken and reduce their numbers for a long time in the future, and it will get worse with each generation." The data terminal paused, "Currently we still don't have enough samples on hand. , with only these blood and tissue samples, it is impossible to sample and analyze an entire race, there is no way to deduce their evolutionary map, and there is no way to verify whether the entire race of demon hunters is like this - what I just mentioned It’s all just speculation.”

Hao Ren had heard more than one person mention the phenomenon of witchers declining in recent years. In fact, he had also considered the possibility of genetic deterioration at that time, but there was no way to verify it at the time, and no one was sure about witchers. Does this kind of creature also follow the genetic rules of conventional races? But now this conjecture seems to be confirmed. Hesperius looked happy after hearing the news: "Ah ha, this is good news. I have to publicize it well after I go back."

"Don't be too optimistic," the data terminal said, not forgetting to pour cold water on the side. "What we have analyzed are extremely early phenomena. It will take at least several generations for genetic degradation to fully show its power. Consider the lifespan of the demon hunter. You The bad situation will continue for thousands of years. With the current situation, maybe you will become extinct earlier than them in a few thousand years."

The data terminal's unkind words immediately made Hesperus look ugly. Hao Ren quickly smoothed things over: "Ahem, don't mind, don't mind. This guy doesn't mean any harm. His emotional model is different from ours."

Hesperius didn't say anything. Of course she knew she couldn't have a relationship with such a machine, so she quickly returned to normal. But Hao Ren couldn't help frowning and thinking of another thing: the decline of the entire demon hunter family might require more in-depth investigation, and even Raven 12345 would eventually be alerted.

He can't be like the outliers who are just happy when they hear that the witcher is about to die. He is a prosecutor, and he can't bring personal feelings into it at this time. If the decline of the witcher is just a natural phenomenon, then of course there is no need to worry about it, but if it is also related to the dream It’s related to the imbalance of the plane...

"What are you thinking about?" Vivian asked curiously when Hao Ren didn't speak for a long time. The latter suddenly woke up and waved his hands with a smile: "Nothing, nothing."

The three of them worked in the scientific research cabin until noon, confirming the progress of all research samples, and then focused on studying the weapons of the demon hunters: those magical crossbows and daggers with exorcism power. The presence of Vivian and Hesperus really helped a lot. These two are professionals who have dealt with countless witchers. Even if Vivian's memory is damaged, they can tell a lot about the witcher. They compared the samples on the test bench to explain the power, characteristics and even usage of these weapons and equipment to Hao Ren. They learned a lot in the whole morning - although Hao Ren really didn't want to confront those crazy people. Fight, but if you really have no choice but to fight with them again in the future, this knowledge will be quite useful.

After finishing the work in the scientific research cabin, the three of them returned home from the transmitter. A burst of white light flashed through. Hao Ren didn't feel dizzy at all. He couldn't help but sigh that it was really wise to set up such a space door in the basement. Example: This thing is much more comfortable than the fast transmission of data terminals. And Hesperus spoke with emotion about the events of the mythical age: In those years, teleportation arrays were still a common device in the homes of various powerful aliens. She often used teleportation arrays to travel between Mount Olympus and Greek city-states. However, with the end of the age of mythology, almost all ancient facilities were destroyed by demon hunters and angry humans. She has rarely seen this kind of teleportation array set up at home.

Fortunately, she didn't know that she had just been transported to the Kuiper Belt, which is more than 40 astronomical units away from the earth, otherwise she might not have been able to express her emotions.

Hao Ren looked back at the teleportation station in the basement. After Vivian reminded him, he carefully observed the small cubicle built by Lily herself, and finally nodded and admitted: "This thing does look like a toilet. of……"

Vivian covered her face: "Let's take it off in two days. If it doesn't work, I can cover it with a tarpaulin when I sleep..."

After Hao Ren returned to the living room, he found that Nangong Wuyue and Betsy had returned, and Lily was also nesting on the sofa. Yizhaks' striking figure could not be seen: The big devil must not have gone home at noon today, but he didn't I know which recruitment company’s front desk girl suffered the most. He first threw Dou Dou into the bathroom basin, then said hello to "Go" and told his cat to take care of his fish. Then when he returned to the living room, he suddenly felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.

After thinking for a long time, he realized what was wrong: Lily was usually in a state of excitement when she came back from outside, especially when she saw other people coming home. He shuddered, but today he walked in front of Lily and there was no movement from the other party. The Husky, who was always overly energetic, just sat on the sofa in a daze today as if he had taken the wrong medicine, staring blankly at the person in front of him. coffee table.

Hao Ren went over and patted Lily on the shoulder: "What's wrong?"

Uncharacteristically, Lily sighed: "Oh... life is so painful."

Lily's sigh frightened Vivian, who was about to go to the kitchen to cook when she heard this and staggered: "Big dog, what did you eat on the road again?"

Betsy was watching a movie with her MP5 player not far away. When she heard this, she raised her head and whispered: "She was like this when she came back. She was so depressed... Wuyue and I didn't dare to go up and ask what was going on."

Hao Ren suddenly became nervous, but before he asked, Lily said quietly: "I went to see a doctor on Daqian Street in the morning. The unlucky guy spent all day wallowing in the garbage dump and got infected with a skin disease. There was a big piece on his back." All the hair has fallen out.”

Hao Ren looked at Lily with a sad face inexplicably: "Then why are you so depressed?"

Lily let out a long sigh and conjured up her own tail. She hugged it and felt sad: "We are both fallen from the world... Wuwuwu, it seems that my tail will never grow back! The burnt hair on it has not recovered at all!"

When Hao Ren heard this, he almost choked on his saliva. After doing this for a long time, Lily was here feeling dejected because she thought of her own tail. But just as he was about to say a few words of comfort to the Erha girl, he also realized that something was wrong: Lily's tail was singed by the energy storm two days ago. With this husky's special physique, it was impossible to burn her like this. Usually she can recover within half a day, but after all this time, the upper third of her tail is still in a state of burnt and curly hair.

"I tried to speed up the regeneration, but it didn't work." Lily hugged her tail and burst into tears. "After speeding up the regeneration, the hair on other parts of the tail even changed twice. Only the tip of the tail has not changed at all. It won't Is the hair root burned out?"

Hao Ren felt curious and a little amused. He estimated that no one in the world had studied the physiological characteristics of huskies. God knows what happened to this girl. He sat down next to Lily and grabbed the latter's tail: "Let me see."

Lily subconsciously shrank back, then thought about it and felt that it was okay to let Hao Ren touch her, so she didn't object anymore. Hao Ren pinched the big fluffy tail curiously. He would occasionally pinch Lily's tail and ears, but this was the first time he studied it seriously like this. The tail was as pure white as snow, soft and smooth, and felt like satin in his hand, but only the tip was burnt yellow and felt rough. He pulled it out easily, and several dry and curly scorched hairs were pulled out. Lily immediately exclaimed: "Don't pull me! There's no new growth anymore. If you pull it again, won't I be left bald?"

At this time, Vivian also came over curiously: "... It seems to me that there is no problem with the hair roots. The hairs are all disconnected from the middle. It should be just skin damage... By the way, why not try a hair restorer tube? does not work?"

Lily was stunned: "Is this possible?"

"Will you try it first?" Hao Ren felt that Vivian's suggestion was very creative. "Don't underestimate human creativity. Haven't Shadow Demons been taught how to behave by the aerial bombs and RPGs invented by humans? - We Do you have hair restorer at home?”

Of course there is no hair restorer at home, and there is no place selling it nearby, but Vivian has never lived like a dog like Lily in tens of thousands of years. She remembered a lot of folk remedies on the spot, and she was excited. He rushed to the kitchen: "Just wait! I'll get some ointment..."

Hao Ren and Lily waited for a while. After more than ten minutes, Vivian ran out with a small bowl of steaming food. Hao Ren could smell the smell of ginger mixed with various strange smells from a long distance away. When she came, Lily's nose became sharper. She shrank her neck and hid behind Hao Ren: "Bat, are you here for revenge?!"

"Don't make trouble, this is a folk remedy!" Vivian held up the small bowl of sticky stuff and moved forward. "It's made by pounding ginger and herbs and adding my blood. Don't you ignore it?" Anyway."

When Lily heard that Vivian had even contributed her own blood, she stuck her head out and said, "But doesn't this smell too bad?"

Just as Vivian winked at Hao Ren, Lily immediately noticed this scene and screamed and wanted to run away. Vivian held her down without saying a word and called Hao Ren for help: "Landlord, hold down her tail. !Give this big dog some medicine!”
