I'm also desperate.
Chapter 798 Snake and Antidote
I'm afraid that even ordinary fish, when placed in the Cold River, will become red-eyed monster fish after being soaked and transformed.
"I wonder if you've noticed that the number of eyes on each red-eyed monster fish that jumps onto the deck is random, not arranged in the same way. Some are covered in red eyes, while others only have a few."
...Who's as perverted as you, caring about that kind of thing.
Everyone exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison.
Fang Yue asked, "Is there any significance to this?"
"It's simple. It means that they have been parasitized for different lengths of time, like the early and late stages of similar symptoms."
"Parasitized?" Fang Yue frowned slightly.
"Yes, the water of the Cold River contains something like a parasite that parasitizes the fish. I don't know what those red eyes are connected to. But those parasitized fish, even if they don't jump onto the deck, will sooner or later be broken down and die by the red eyes parasitized in their bodies. Jing Yan's situation is the same, and this parasitic state seems to be faster in the human body."
Jing Yan was immediately frightened, his face bloodless.
"Then, then, then what should I do? Qing Chen! Brother Chen! Chen Chen!!"
Qing Chen's face darkened, and he said a little irritably, "Don't worry. Since it's a parasite, as long as it doesn't have its own consciousness, it only has two purposes. The first is to reproduce. The second is to find the next host.
The reproduction step has almost been completed in your body. The number of reproductions is obviously much higher than in fish. And if you let them continue to reproduce, you won't be able to withstand it."
Fang Yue felt a little relieved seeing Qing Chen speak eloquently.
Based on his understanding of Qing Chen, the other party should have some ideas.
"Qing Chen, stop beating around the bush and just say it. How can Jing Yan be saved?"
"Actually, it's very simple. There are only two things to do. The first is to stop the red eyes in Jing Yan's body from continuing to reproduce and deteriorate. The second step is to dredge and guide the red eyes to the next host."
"The next host?" Fang Yue's expression changed a few times when he heard this. "Do you want someone else to be parasitized by the red eyes instead of Jing Yan?"
"Yes!"
"...What do you think about me?"
Fang Yue has the Breath of the Night, and most curses seem to be able to resist it.
However, facing the reproductive ability of the red monster eyes, coupled with the fact that his injuries have not fully recovered, Fang Yue is also a little unsure whether he can withstand this wave.
"Brother Yue, you can't! You have to remember your identity. You are the one called by the Holy Region to go to the capital to meet the emperor. If something happens to you, even if we all survive, we will have to face the Qing Kingdom's wanted order and have nowhere to live."
"Then what do you mean..."
Qing Chen looked around and finally pointed slowly to the top.
The escort team of Tian Rui Chi??
Fang Yue immediately understood, but hesitated.
To be honest, this is a bit unethical.
But psychologically and emotionally, Fang Yue would rather choose someone from the guard team brought by Tian Rui Chi to sacrifice than want something to happen to Jing Yan.
People have different degrees of closeness, and under the influence of such a harsh environment in the game, Fang Yue has long lost his various bottom lines.
"How many people are needed as hosts? How dangerous is it... No, forget it, Lin Ling, call down all the special envoy team members of Tian Rui Chi, and by the way, tell Tian Rui Chi that if something happens to these people he brought, I will give a generous alimony and promise to protect the safety of their families."
"No! Little Yue, wait! Do you think I can withstand the parasitism of these red eyes? Why don't I be the host."
Hearing Lin Ling's refusal, he stretched out his hand to Fang Yue.
Fang Yue slowly looked up at him.
Fang Yue understood that Lin Ling was kind-hearted. Even after experiencing so many things, he was still the same young man, Captain Lin of Guyue Village.
It's just…
Fang Yue shook his head firmly.
"Lin Ling, I won't let you take risks, and you shouldn't take risks yourself. Hua Wu Ye entrusted you to me before his death... Your life is not just your own, but also Hua Wu Ye's. Even for her, you should live well."
Mentioning Hua Wu Ye, Lin Ling fell silent and didn't say anything else.
And Fang Yue pushed away Lin Ling's hand, glanced at Jing Yan, who was anxious, depressed, almost crying, and trembling with panic, and sighed.
This guy must be suffocating soon. He can't wait to shout and ask someone to help him transfer the parasites, but he still seems to have a bit of face and didn't dare to shout out such a shameless thing... Oh, no, it's because his face is pale, he's almost out of breath, and he can't stop the sound.
Fang Yue understood that Jing Yan's situation had reached a very critical point. Without hesitation, he personally went to the deck to call for someone.
But just as he walked halfway, he heard Qing Chen suddenly slap his forehead and say, "Wait! I thought of something!"
"What did you think of?"
Everyone asked strangely, and Fang Yue also looked back.
He saw Qing Chen push up his non-existent glasses again: "Host!"
"What?"
"It's the host! Do you still remember those red-eyed monster fish that were stuck to the hull? This kind of adhesion is actually transferring parasites! In other words, this ship is the biggest and best host!"
Fang Yue was stunned, and then overjoyed.
"Doesn't that mean that the red eyes in Jing Yan's body can be directly transferred to the hull!"
"That's right! It's theoretically feasible! And there's one more thing. We've always overlooked a problem, that is, the Cold River Giant Ship has actually been in contact with the Cold River all the time. Even if no one is on the ship, it still floats on the Cold River. It's obviously an existence that can be parasitized by red monster fish, but it hasn't had any accidents for so many years. What do you think is the reason?"
Qing Chen's words made Fang Yue a little confused.
But Jing Yan, who was about to die, immediately understood what he meant, and excitedly patted the wooden board, squeezing out two words with bulging veins.
"Antibody!"
Antibody?
Fang Yue and Lin Ling exchanged glances, still a little confused, but Jing Yan and Qing Chen were really good buddies, and they understood each other.
Fang Yue and Lin Ling didn't understand, but Jing Yan understood immediately.
"That's right! It's an antibody! To be precise, it should be some kind of modification similar to an antibody, a response... Well, it's a bit troublesome to explain to you, well, you know about snakes, right? There will be relative antidotes near some areas where poisonous snakes are active. The Cold River Giant Ship and the Cold River should also have a similar relationship..."
Fang Yue could barely understand, but he directly asked Qing Chen to skip the step of this explanation: "Just tell me what to do?"
"It's very simple, let Jing Yan eat the wooden board!"
