The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 323: Put everything else aside, the tail is the most important

"Genetic disease?" Hao Ren frowned slightly, "According to this, sooner or later, the demon hunters will exterminate their clan?"

"It shouldn't be so extreme, but it is certain that they will continue to weaken and reduce staff for a long time in the future, and each generation will get worse." The data terminal paused, "At present, the samples we have are still not enough With only these blood samples and tissue samples, it is impossible to sample and analyze the entire race, it is impossible to deduce their evolutionary map, and it is impossible to verify whether the whole race of demon hunters is like this—what this machine said just now Just speculation."

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

"Don't be too optimistic," the data terminal did not forget to pour cold water on it, "What we have analyzed is an extremely early phenomenon. It may take at least a few generations until the genetic degradation fully reveals its power. Considering the lifespan of a demon hunter, you guys The bad situation will continue for thousands of years, and with the current situation, maybe you will become extinct earlier than them in thousands of years."

The blunt words from the data terminal made Hesperis' face look ugly immediately, and Hao Ren quickly smoothed things over: "Ahem, don't mind, don't mind. This guy is not malicious, and his emotional model is different from ours."

Hesperis didn't say anything, of course she knew that she couldn't have a relationship with such a machine, so she quickly returned to normal. However, Hao Ren couldn't help but frowned and thought of another thing: the decline of the whole clan of demon hunters probably needs to be investigated further. Even eventually alarm Raven 12345.

He can't be like the other kind and just be happy when he hears that the demon hunter is going to die. He is a reviewer, and he can't bring personal feelings at this time. If the decline of the demon hunter is just a natural phenomenon, of course it doesn't matter. But if it's also related to the imbalance of the Dream Plane...

"What are you thinking about?" Vivian asked curiously seeing that Hao Ren hadn't spoken for a long time. The latter suddenly woke up and waved his hands with a smile: "It's nothing, it's nothing."

The three of them worked in the scientific research cabin until noon, confirming the progress of all the research samples, and then focused on the weapons of the demon hunter: those magical crossbows and daggers with exorcism power. The presence of Vivienne and Hesperis really helped a lot. These two are professionals who have dealt with demon hunters countless times. The secret comes. They compared the samples on the test bench to Hao Ren explaining the power, features and even how to use these weapons and equipment. They learned a lot in the whole morning. I have no choice but to fight them again, this knowledge is quite useful.

After finishing the work in the scientific research cabin, the three of them returned home from the teleporter. There was a flash of white light. Hao Ren didn't feel dizzy at all. He couldn't help sighing 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 the data terminal. And Hesperis talked about the events of the mythical era with emotion: In those years, the teleportation array was still a common device in the homes of various powerful aliens. She often uses the teleportation array to travel between Mount Olympus and the 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 such Set up the teleportation array at home.

Fortunately, she didn't know that she was teleported to the Kuiper belt, which is more than 40 astronomical units away from the earth, otherwise she might not know what she was feeling.

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

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

When Hao Ren returned to the living room, he found that Nangong Wuyue and Becky had already returned, and Lily was nestling on the sofa, but he couldn't see the striking figure of Y'zaks: the big devil must not be coming home at noon today. It's just that I don't know which girl at the front desk of the recruiting unit has suffered. He went first to throw Doudou into the bathroom sink. He said hello to Cenglai "roll" again, and told his cat to take care of his fish, and then when he returned to the living room, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere.

After thinking about it for a long time, he realized what was wrong: Usually, Lily was in a state of excitement when she came back from the outside, especially when she saw other people coming home, she became even more excited and uncontrollable. Jumping up and saying hello can often make people tremble, but today he walked past Lily and she didn't make any movement. The husky, who is always overactive, is lying on the sofa in a daze as if he had taken the wrong medicine today, staring blankly at the coffee table in front of him.

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

Uncharacteristically, Lily let out a sigh: "Oh... life is so troublesome."

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

Becky was watching a movie with her MP5 not far away. Hearing this, she raised her head and said in a low voice, "She's been like this since she came back, she's full of depression... Wuyue and I didn't dare to go up and ask what's going on."

Hao Ren suddenly became nervous, but before he asked, Lily said quietly: "I went to see a doctor for the golden retriever on Daqian Street in the morning. That unlucky guy went to the garbage dump all day and got a skin disease, and there was a big lump on his back. All the hair fell out."

Hao Ren looked at the sad Lily inexplicably: "Then why are you so lost?"

Lily let out a long sigh and transformed her own tail, hugging it sadly: "I am also a person who has fallen in the end of the world... woo woo woo my tail doesn't seem to grow back! The burnt hair on it hasn't recovered at all!"

When Hao Ren heard this, he almost choked on his own saliva. After a long time, Lily was sad because she thought of his own tail. But just as he wanted to casually comfort Erha, he also realized that something was wrong: Lily's tail was scorched by the energy storm two days ago. It usually takes half a day to recover, but after such a long time, the upper third of her tail is still in the state of scorched yellow curly hair.

"I tried to speed up the regeneration, but it didn't work." Lily hugged her tail and cried, "After the accelerated regeneration, the hair on other parts of the tail even changed twice, but the tip of the tail didn't change at all, no. Is the root of the hair burnt?"

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

Lily retreated subconsciously, and after thinking about it, she felt that it was okay for Hao Ren to touch her, so she didn't object anymore. Hao Ren pinched the big fluffy tail curiously. Normally, he would occasionally pinch Lily's tail and ears, but this was the first time he studied it seriously like this. I saw that the tail was pure white like snow, soft and smooth, and it felt like satin in the hand, but only the tip was burnt yellow and rough to the touch. When he pulled it out, several dry, curly, burnt hairs were pulled off. Lily immediately exclaimed: "Don't pull it! It doesn't grow any new ones, won't I be bald if you pull it again?"

At this time, Vivienne also came over curiously: "... I think the root of the hair is fine, the fluff is cut off in the middle, it should be just the skin is damaged... By the way, why don't you try a hair restorer tube? ?”

Lily was taken aback: "Can this work?"

"Is it okay to try it first!" Hao Ren felt that Vivienne's proposal was very creative, "Don't underestimate the creativity of human beings, isn't Shadow Demon taught to be a human being by the aerial bombs and RPGs invented by humans—our family Is there any hair tonic?"

Of course, there is no hair restorer at home, and there is no place that sells it nearby, but Vivienne has not lived on dogs like Lily for tens of thousands of years. She thought of a lot of folk remedies on the spot, excited He rushed to the kitchen: "Wait! I'll get some ointment..."

Hao Ren and Lily waited for a while, and after ten minutes Vivienne came out with a small bowl of steaming hot food. Hao Ren smelled ginger mixed with various strange smells from a long distance away. Coming, Lily's nose became sharper, and she shrank her neck and hid behind Hao Ren: "Bat, are you here for revenge?!"

"Don't make trouble, this is a folk remedy!" Vivienne moved forward holding the small bowl of sticky things, "Ginger and herbs were mashed and boiled, and I added my blood, don't you care Anyway."

When Lily heard that Vivienne even contributed her own blood, she stuck her head out: "But this smells too bad, right?"

As soon as Vivian gave Hao Ren a wink, Lily immediately noticed the scene and screamed and wanted to run away. Vivian held her down without saying a word, and called Hao Ren for help: "Landlord, hold her tail ! Give this big dog medicine!" (to be continued~^~)
