Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 83: Crystalized thymus
The storm outside the window is fading, and the terrifying hurricane is turning after hitting the mountains.
The wind speed weakened, but the rainfall became more unimaginable. It seemed that after the strong wind that lifted half of the South China Sea into the sky left, the sea water that was originally suspended in the sky fell back to the earth and ocean.
Like a meteorite falling, large chunks of water hit the ground and the roof, causing the stone houses to shake slightly.
"This is"
In the house, squinting his eyes, Hilliard took off his dry coat. He raised his hand, and the golden source quality lighted up, and then he slapped his palm casually on the wall of the house.
In an instant, the moaning house suddenly stopped shaking, and the sound of the wind and rain outside became much smaller, as if it was separated by several walls and weakened layer by layer.
"Really extraordinary."
Hilliard came to Ian's side. He bent down and carefully observed the crystallized flesh in the boy's hands. He couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart: "This is a really good thing. It's a second-level peak monster." Ian, how did you get the source quality thymus fragment? If it weren't for the serious injury that was close to death, it would be impossible to knock out the thymus of a monster!"
"Thymus?" Ian couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard the teacher reveal the body of crystallized flesh and blood in his hands. He lowered his head, stared at the blue-red flesh and blood on the table, and said in amazement, "It's too big!"
The thymus is generally located below the thyroid gland, and it is a fragile thin tissue. It is the earliest mature immune organ in most organisms, and it is generally not very large. For example, the thymus in Ian's hand weighs at least a few kilograms. Only giant monsters like the Totem Lord Crocodile can be produced.
The main function of the thymus is to produce hormones and catalyze hematopoietic stem cells into primitive T cells (a type of immune cell), which is a very important part of the biological immune system.
"That's it."
Ian thought about his vocabulary, and told Hilliard that he went to the tower, fired the alchemy cannon with the help of the guards stationed in the city, and assisted Viscount Grant in repelling the crocodile dragon: "Death is not enough, but I feel that the shell should have entered the lung of the crocodile."
"Would you aim and fire the cannon?"
After listening, Hilliard's expression became subtle.
He frowned, looked at Ian, and said in disbelief: "Didn't you say that you didn't operate and repair the alchemy cannon with Elder Pude?"
"How dare you take risks for the first time in actual operation!"
-Is it hard? Aiming, firing and launching are all monkeys can do.
Although I thought so in my mind, Ian just said honestly: "Maybe I'm smarter, so I'll just see it?"
"If you have seen it, you will know it. If you use it, it is a unique skill. If you hit it, it is a perfect skill-how can you be like those old **** bragging."
Shaking his head slightly, the old knight originally wanted to reprimand Ian.
This kid, without looking at how much he weighs, dares to fire a cannon, to face a big monster that is at the peak of the second energy level and has a high probability of being able to advance to the third energy level?
It would be a tact to say that he is not afraid of death, he was not so courageous back then!
Although he was very angry, Hilliard couldn't get angry again when he saw Ian's cute and sensible expression, his upright sitting posture, and his expectant eyes, and he just sighed.
"Forget it, you won anyway."
He stretched out his hand and rubbed the boy's hair fiercely: "I guess, you also know the consequences of your actions, you just make your own judgment."
"But remember, if the situation is really invincible, running away is the choice that really requires courage."
After the boy responded softly, Hilliard let go of his hand. He sat at the table and began to examine Ian's booty in detail.
"The swamp crocodile has extremely strong immunity, and can almost ignore most of the natural toxins and diseases. Its thymus hormone can induce the maturation of several different powerful immune cells, especially against parasites and miasma in tropical areas. It works wonders."
While checking, Hilliard explained to Ian: "These are just the basics. When the thymus of the crocodile dragon is transformed into a completely sublimated organ when it reaches the second energy level, it will gradually transform into this organ in your hand. Crystal flesh tissue."
"At that time, it can not only regulate the immune ability, but also interact with the heart, modify the blood composition, make it have a certain disinfection ability, and at the same time greatly speed up the wound healing."
"This crocodile is already close to the third energy level, his internal organs are condensing the 'phase element structure', the phase structure in this thymus is very complete, this is your biggest gain this time!"
"It's so?" Looking at the blue-red flesh on the table, Ian thought of the orange-red plasma splashed under the scales when the crocodile invaded Harrison Harbor and was hit by artillery.
Indeed, that kind of minor wound heals quickly.
Even, even the shot that hit the vital point, and Viscount Grant's sword that almost cut off the midfoot, did not cause it to lose too much blood, affecting its ability to escape.
And the mud shield covering the whole body of the crocodile dragon is even more powerful, even the electric cannon that can shoot supersonic shells cannot completely blast through the defense.
As for the cells and hormones that appeared in the teacher's mouth
With the current level of technology displayed on the Terra continent, it is strange that Hilliard does not know about cells and hormones.
Especially the skill of the sublimator, which obviously has a great relationship with the level of biotechnology, and may even involve deep genetic modification.
"Well, it can be used as the main ingredient of your future potion."
Finally, Hilliard made a judgment: "Swamp Crocodile is an earth monster with certain characteristics of water attributes. Its talent 'body of fertile soil' needs to control the source quality of water and soil at the same time, otherwise, it cannot Control the mud as your own shield, just as a cover for your 'Seasinger Inheritance'."
"Although for ordinary sublimators, using the material of the peak of the second energy level as the base of the first energy level is a bit overkill, if you really want to go on the road of 'immovable fortified city' , such extra effort is necessary.”
The more powerful, the more expensive.
Turning to look at Ian, the old knight half narrated, half warned: "As compensation for the price, when you are at the first energy level, you can make your source quality have obvious attributes."
"This is a benefit, but also a risk. If you are not a psychic, and you are just a commoner, I will not let you take this extreme path."
Essence also has different properties.
Just as human beings live in different areas, they have different physical signs, life itself is different, so the source quality extracted by each person is naturally different.
——In the ancient myth of Taila, the breath, heart and soul, flesh and blood of the heavenly father turned into four stellar stars in four directions, and the four stellar stars intertwined and intertwined to build thousands of winds and shining suns under the sky, The land and the sea are the origins of the four genera of wind, fire, earth and water, the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the four states of air, separation, solid, and liquid.
Essence quality with different attributes has different aspects of strengthening the human body. Earth focuses on endurance and body strength, water tends to regenerate and prolong life, wind is good at self-amplification and unloading, and fire has the most diverse explosive power and destructive methods, but also most unstable.
Ian himself is still young and doesn't often go out to work, so he is not much affected by the subtle influence of the environment, but after all, he has lived by the sea for nearly ten years, and his original source quality is biased towards water and wind.
So after he extracted the source quality, the injuries on his body healed quickly, and his strength could be improved.
However, attributes are not born, nor are they absolute.
If Ian now settles next to the volcano, eats local food, and breathes the volcanic smog, it will not take a few months for his natural source quality to be transformed into fire and earth.
Compared with innate inclinations, one's own choice is more important—or rather, isn't one's innate attributes also determined by the choices of parents? .
"Obvious attribute source quality is indeed very powerful, but also very dangerous."
Ian has a very deep memory of the many sublimation common senses that Hilliard taught him, and he is very clear about the nature of 'attributes'.
That is the interaction with nature.
Swamp crocodile is a monster of earth and water. It will never leave the swamp area of the jungle area throughout its life. This is not only because it adapts to this environment, but also because it can only , it becomes more powerful.
It's like when the crocodile dragon enters the city, it can turn fossils into mud, and turn rocks and mud into its own skin and shield-if it is in a swamp or deep in a mountain, how much more difficult will it be? ?
While changing the natural environment, you also make yourself more adaptable to nature.
But on the other hand, if the crocodile dragon goes to the sea and fights in the snow-capped mountains and volcanic areas, then 100% of its combat power will be at most 30-40%. The special source quality, 'starve' is there.
So even if it has to move, Crocodile will choose desert oasis, or areas such as coastal tidal flats. Fall back to normal beast crocodile.
'Do not move fortified city' is the inheritance of the true shape of the earth attribute. If the material of the crocodile dragon is used as the main material of the potion, it will convert Ian's source quality into the earth attribute, thereby improving his physical fitness in an all-round way. And it has an advantage in an environment with mud and rocks, and the source matter in the body will be more active.
This is the advantage of attribute source quality.
"The earth attribute is actually not bad. After all, as long as you are on the planet, you can't really leave the earth."
Ian knows that risks are accompanied by opportunities, and power and cost coexist—the attribute tendency that should have appeared at the second energy level, but he can master it at the first energy level, which is naturally an excellent opportunity to exercise in advance.
In the future, when he advances to the second energy level, he can quickly master many skills that should have been honed for a long time. Compared with other people, he can speed up a lot.
But the first energy level is far less resistant to the environment than the second energy level
"This is a trade-off." Ian is very clear about this: "At most, it will be farther away from the sea in the future."
On the contrary, there is no serious problem near the sea. The sand armor apprentices can reduce the breathing rate. As long as they are not too deep and too far from the land, even if they cannot swim, they can still walk all the way from the bottom of the sea to the shore.
In short.
The environment in Harrison Port is not extremely harsh, but it is not safe either.
Aside from other things, if after taking the potion, he can have even a little bit of crocodile's ability to call mud and sand to protect his body, his safety and survival ability will be greatly enhanced.
"Leave it to me to deal with it. Your current level of alchemy is not enough to perfectly handle this level of Warcraft material."
Hilliard patted the table, and Ian naturally had no objection, or rather, this was his original idea.
With his current level of alchemy, he was naturally able to deal with the material of a low-level monster like the reef-eating sea otter, but it was impossible for the swamp crocodile.
Mainly because he hasn't learned it yet.
However, just as the old knight was about to put away the crocodile's crystallized thymus, Ian inadvertently looked up at his teacher's face, and found something was wrong.
"Wait, teacher"
He stared straight at Hilliard's face, Ian frowned: "The wrinkles on your face"
