Chapter 1442 The Culprit Was Found! But It Can’t Be Killed?

Gretel's eyes suddenly lit up.

Section, freeze, observe; section, freeze, observe. After countless reincarnations, he felt that he was about to fall down from exhaustion and didn't want to do anything anymore. Information finally appeared in the microscope!

Chromosome banding information!

The chromosomes on the lava dragon have different sizes, different chromosome pairs, different band characteristics, completely different information!

What's more important is that in the information of these chromosome strips, in addition to the golden extraordinary spots, there are also dots of ethereal and insubstantial forms.

It's a bit like the unique points of undead creatures passed from the mage tower, but it's not quite the same; it's a bit like the chromosomes of the great prince that have been cursed by the devil and changed, but it's not quite the same either...

All in all, in short, no matter what characteristics it has, it is still a bunch of chromosomes. Grete looked at it again and again under the microscope with great joy, and punched hard:

"found it!"

"What did you find?"

"Well, I found a strange thing from the lump under your scales. I suspect it is related to your lump and itching." Gretel stared at the image displayed by the oak staff and answered seriously.

Gerson's head immediately came over:

"Strange things? Where? These bugs? Tangled bugs?"

"Uh..." These are not bugs, they are chromosomes...

"Then what do we need to do now? Kill these bugs?"

Gerson scratched his spine with his backhand and stretched out his hand. There was a thick layer between his long nails. It was hard to tell whether it was blood or dust. Grete turned her back to him and shrugged:

"It's hard to say yet. First of all, we need to confirm that these chromosomes do come from the lumps under your scales, and not from external contamination;

Secondly, it is necessary to confirm that the organism possessing these chromosomes is the culprit causing the lumps on your body;

Only in the end can we confirm that if we get rid of them, your disease will be cured..."

"Wait, what are chromosomes?"

"Well……"

Grete had no choice but to take out a stack of papers and motioned to Cerira to help explain. Gerson only listened to a few words and rushed over impatiently:

"So you are saying that there is some kind of creature in these lumps? Why can't I feel the breath of life?"

"I can't feel it either, but chromosomes don't lie." Gretel stared at the image in front of him:

"If there are chromosomes, there must be life. At most, the life forms are different and are not in our perception. However, with chromosomes, following this clue, we should be able to find..."

"Then what do you need? What conditions are needed to confirm what you said?"

"Well, at this stage, we don't actually need too many conditions." Grete stopped, looked around, thinking about whether to go back to the ship——

Servilia took great care of him. The ship transformed from the ancient tree had a special laboratory and a special clean room with three areas and two passages.

Conducting experiments in that room can minimize the possibility of outside contamination...

Well, it’s better not to go. It’s easy to get to the island. Servilia can be loose and loose. She can drink some clean water in the form of a tree, spread her roots and dig into the soil to eat her fill. It's just a laboratory, he can solve it himself!

"You wait here, I'll open a mage's mansion and go in to do experiments... It's clean there and the samples won't be contaminated..."

Yes, this is the most reliable use of the mage's mansion. It can be used as a portable hospital and as a portable laboratory.

Because it is opened directly in the dimensional space, it is clean and pollution-free, and there will not be a lot of bacteria left, especially things like Acinetobacter baumannii that will not breed——

"do not!"

Gerson raised his hand and grabbed him:

"It's tiring to open a mage's mansion! It consumes a lot of energy! What kind of laboratory do you want? I'll build one for you!"

"Uh... this is fine..."

Gretel was happy and relaxed without having to expend his own strength. He used [Silent Phantom] to outline the structure of the house. Gerson nodded and stamped his foot vigorously.

A stream of magma suddenly gushes out of the crater and rolls down. It fell on the flat ground where they were, rising up, elongating, and raising on its own, smoothing the floor, pulling out the walls, sealing the roof, and leaving room for doors and windows.

After everything was completed, an astonishing amount of hot air came out of the magma and swept back and forth in the room. When Gretel entered, the laboratory was flat, clean, cool...

Grete sprayed disinfectant again, sterilized it with ultraviolet light, buried himself in front of the microscope, and continued to repeat the previous research. Take samples...make samples...observe...

The second chromosome sample found!

The third chromosome sample found!

Grete was greatly encouraged. Next, he began to try to find strange bacteria, fungi or viruses in these tumor tissues:

Tissue slices from dragons!

Microscopic examination!

Observe its normal form!

The tissue exploded directly, almost burning the lens of the optical microscope...

Tissue sections!

freezing!

Microscopic examination!

Using liquid nitrogen for rapid freezing, the tissue morphology was finally fixed, and the morphology of scale cells, epithelial cells, muscle cells, and various cells was observed and recorded.

The next task is to find strange, different, or damaged parts in the mass tissue!

Gretel turned the lump tissue over, turned it upside down, and cut it over and over again. Finally, among a pile of tissue that resembled magma or might have been carbonized, the cells of the dragon were found;

And in the cells, he found the chromosome he was looking for, which was completely different from the lava dragon and the same as the culprit!

"Organisms that exist in cells..." Gretel pondered for a while, then turned his head and looked at Gerson:

"You said before that if you dig out a piece of meat and put this thing inside, it will stop growing?"

"yes!"

"...Then why doesn't it grow? After digging it out, will your flesh and blood cool down? Lower than the temperature that it can reproduce? Or after digging it out, there will be no sufficient supply of magic power, and it will die?"

"have no idea……"

"Can you let me try it on you? Try it on healthy flesh and see if it will grow back? Don't worry, as soon as I see signs of growing, I will cut it off immediately!"

Gerson looked at Grete suspiciously, and then at Cerela. Serila spread her hands:

"Don't look at me, I have always believed in him anyway. It depends on whether you believe him or not... But let me tell you, he has treated the elders, princes, elf princes, and many high-level elves of the dwarf clan..."

Gerson's crimson eyes looked at Grete again, looking from top to bottom, and from bottom to top. Serila played the drum leisurely:

"Look around him, there is an elf legend, a high-level elf spellcaster, and a legendary ancient tree. If he has not cured many elves and gained the trust of the elves, how could he even abduct the ancient tree?"

"Hello!"

cried Gretel. What is kidnapping? What is abduction!

Obviously I need a ship to sail on the sea. After visiting many ancient trees, the two parties reached an agreement and made a contract, so I respectfully invited it!

Gerson turned in a circle, and then in another circle. Frowning, shrugging, scratching with backhand. After a long while, he roared and jumped up. He transformed into a dragon in mid-air and plunged into the magma...

"Did he agree or not?"

Cerela asked curiously. Gretel shook his head:

"I don't know, it's up to him. Oh... The ground is shaking again. It's probably very itchy... It's really pitiful to feel itchy all over the body..."

"Gretel, stay away from him! Be careful of catching this!"

Cerela warned sternly. Grete smiled at her:

"Don't worry, it won't happen. That thing needs high temperature to survive. As for me, it will freeze to death before it reaches me?"

There was a boom, and another boom. Gerson was bumping, rubbing, and lashing with his tail in the magma pool. After struggling for a long time, he rushed out with lava all over him.

He flapped his wings and landed in front of Gretel, carefully standing on one hind paw. The other hind paw curled up, and with just one scratch, it pulled over several scales, revealing a strip of flesh and blood half a foot wide:

"Try it here! - It's itchy here, and I can still scratch it..."

Gretel cautiously directed the golden skeleton to approach. This time, he added a few extra layers of protection to the golden skeleton to prevent heat insulation, fire protection, and dripping and splashing.

Then, let the golden skeleton cut off part of the skin on Gersen's paw to expose the muscles. Then, the cell tissue in the mass was mixed into a suspension, applied to several points, and injected into several points...

"The next step is to wait." Gretel recalled the golden skeleton, stepped back dozens of meters, floated up and looked into Gerson's eyes:

"If it's quick, wait for two or three days. If it's slow, wait for one day. You should be able to confirm whether it can reproduce. If it can, it is a living thing. Kill it and you should be fine."

"It will take another two or three days..."

Gerson lay down dejectedly.

Two or three days later, Gretel was gearing up and sent a secret eye to float in front of the lava dragon. There was no need for sampling or testing. The light curtain unfolded and a small bulge was immediately visible——

It showed the same changes as the lump under the dragon scale. Elevated, neoplastic, rough, fibrotic. To the naked eye, it even looks partially crystallized and rocky...

"I need to take samples and test them now!" Gretel's eyes lit up:

"If it is confirmed to be this kind of thing, we can kill it!"

With this first experience, the speed of sampling and testing was not slow, and we successfully found this new suspected biological thing in the cells of the lava dragon.

Gersen returned to his human form, staring at the light curtain released by Gretel and the unusually small things inside the light curtain that existed inside the cells, frowning:

"How do I kill this thing? I can't kill it!"

"I can't kill him either..." Gretel was confused. His previous bacteria-killing technique and virus-killing technique didn't seem to be very effective against this thing?
