Dreaming about the world, embarking on the path of spiritual practice.

Chapter 215 Experimental Ground

……

Seeing Yu Liang asking about the Blood Spirit Sect, the middle-aged man immediately began to introduce him.

The Blood Spirit Sect is not an evil organization, but a loose sect composed of a group of like-minded people in the world of mountains and seas who are interested in studying strange beasts.

Alien beasts can pass on their abilities to the next generation through bloodline transmission. This is the power of bloodline.

The Blood Spirit Sect focuses on studying the power of blood, exploring how alien beasts pass their abilities to the next generation through blood, and studying how to master this power of blood!

After hearing the explanation, Yu Liang immediately understood that they were a group of genetic researchers.

Passing one's abilities to the next generation through blood is genetics.

Yu Liang looked at the other party with a smile and said: "I am also very interested in the power of blood, but I have not been exposed to the power of blood before. If I join the sect, can I get the corresponding inheritance?"

"That's natural. As long as seniors join our Blood Spirit Sect, they can directly understand the heritage of our Blood Spirit Sect!"

Seeing that the other party was so cheerful and generous, Yu Liang couldn't help but feel a little wary.

How can one person in this world be nice to another person for no reason!

But after thinking about it for a while, Yu Liang smiled and said: "I will join the Blood Spirit Sect!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately smiled and replied: "Han Geng of the Blood Spirit Sect, on behalf of the Blood Spirit Sect, welcomes the seniors to join us."

Afterwards, Yu Liang asked the other party for more information about the Blood Spirit Sect.

While Han Geng was answering, he cut a small cut in the palm of his hand. The blood dripping from the cut seemed to be alive, and the condensed threads would squirm slightly.

He drilled into the wound of the still alive giant elephant. At first, the giant elephant didn't respond, but as more and more blood dripped in, the half-dead giant elephant suddenly began to struggle violently.

Finally, when the giant elephant died in pain, the blood that Han Geng dripped into its body came out of the wound and returned to his body.

Yu Liang frowned slightly after witnessing all this. This person's method of extracting the power of blood is really weird!

Han Geng showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then said to Yu Liang: "Senior Yu, I will take you to the sect's location!"

Yu Liang nodded.

Under his leadership, the two of them flew in the air towards the Blood Spirit Sect.

On the way, they encountered a huge eagle with metallic luster on its wings.

"Wind Thunder Eagle, we are in some trouble!"

"The Wind Thunder Eagle is a type of wind thunder beast, and its feathers contain powerful wind and thunder power. When it flaps its wings, it can release extremely destructive wind and thunder strikes."

"Senior, should we hide for a while?"

Although Han Geng said he wanted to avoid it, what he meant was that he wanted Yu Liang to take action to deal with Feng Leiying.

"You seem to know a lot about strange beasts!" Yu Liang asked Han Geng.

"My Blood Spirit Sect's relic heritage, 'Record of Mountains and Seas' Strange Beasts', records most of the strange beasts in the mountains and seas!" Han Geng replied.

A record of strange beasts from mountains and seas? Yu Liang secretly wrote down the name.

When the Feng Leiying got closer and closer to the two of them, Yu Liang raised a finger and saw a light spot appearing in front of his fingertip. Then it got bigger and bigger, and finally formed a beam of light that enveloped the Feng Leiying with the power of thunder and lightning.

In just an instant, the Wind Thunder Eagle was pierced by the beam of light and fell heavily from the air.

Seeing this, Han Geng immediately stepped forward to check. At this time, Feng Leiying was already dead, and the wound was directly carbonized, and other parts were also charred due to the high temperature.

Returning to Yu Liang, although he said nothing, his eyes revealed disappointment.

Yu Liang smiled slightly when he saw this. He did this on purpose. Firstly, he didn't like the other party's little idea of ​​using him, and secondly, he wanted to shock the other party by revealing a little bit of his strength.

Han Geng continued to take Yu Liang to the Blood Spirit Sect. The location of the Blood Spirit Sect is a rocky mountain that looks like an Optimus Pillar, and is also the location of an ancient ruins.

When Yu Liang arrived, the first thing he saw was a huge bronze tree standing on a mountain peak.

It’s a bronze tree again, but this bronze tree seems to be a little different from the one from the Holy Flame Sect!

"Senior, this is where my Blood Spirit Sect is. Once you enter, you can directly understand the heritage of the ruins!"

On the rocky mountain, there are some large and small caves created by many people, just like honeycombs.

Is it also a cave? Yu Liang and Han Geng entered a cave respectively.

Because everything went so smoothly! Yu Liang had to be more vigilant and investigate carefully.

In the small space, there are many bronze tubes like tree roots on the rock wall. After repeated inspections, there are no problems.

Yu Liang tried to touch the bronze root, but instead of entering some cave, he received a huge piece of information.

After digesting and absorbing this information, Yu Liang took a deep breath to calm down.

“I didn’t expect that this mountain and sea realm would actually be an experimental ground!”

These people in the Blood Spirit Sect don't understand, but Yu Liang knows it clearly.

The "Record of Strange Beasts from Mountains and Seas" that Han Geng mentioned is actually a record of experimental data!

Yu Liang, who has studied genetic engineering, speculated based on the contents of the "Record of Strange Beasts from Mountains and Seas" that the experimental site in the Mountains and Seas Realm should use the "Foreign Gene Capture System".

Foreign gene capture system: a natural method of gene transfer, the principle of which mainly involves the direct absorption, transformation and transduction of genes.

Organisms achieve gene transfer and recombination by directly absorbing or ingesting foreign genes, or through contact and communication with foreign genes.

During this process, foreign genes can be integrated into the organism's genome and expressed and passed on to future generations.

Among the research on exogenous gene capture systems in modern genetic engineering, the most representative one is the tenacious tardigrade.

It can adapt to various extreme environments, survive in extreme cold, high temperature, hypoxia, high pressure and other extreme environments, and can even survive in space!

The main reason why tardigrades have such strong vitality is that they have strong gene repair capabilities and the ability to absorb foreign genes from the environment.

First of all, tardigrades have an excellent gene repair mechanism that can repair genetic damage caused by dehydration.

In addition, it can absorb various molecules from the environment, including genes. These absorbed genes may come from other organisms and remain in the tardigrade.

When tardigrades encounter extreme environments, such as high temperature, low temperature, radiation, high pressure, dryness, etc., their genetic chains will break. When replenished with water, the tardigrade will quickly repair its own gene chain. In the process, it will accept external genes and embed them into its own genes. These foreign genes may come from plants, microorganisms, fungi, etc., and they provide tardigrades with the ability to survive in extreme environments.

Therefore, there are a large number of foreign genes in tardigrades!

In the process of evolution, it acquired these genes through horizontal gene transfer, thereby acquiring new biological characteristics.

These new genes make it resistant to heat, cold, and pressure, allowing tardigrades to survive in extreme environments.

In addition to tardigrades, organisms generally have "foreign gene capture systems". After periodic gene exchange and fusion, the captured foreign genes will usually reflect their original functions in the new host after being expressed. , giving the new host "superpowers", such as luminescence, resistance to stress, etc.

For example, Arctic clams, a kind of marine life, survive in the cold polar seas. Arctic clams can absorb bacterial genes in sea ice to help them adapt to the extreme marine environment.

Atlantic killifish, which absorb bacterial genes from the water, help them fight toxins from human pollution.

……

The experimental site of the Mountain and Sea Realm guides various creatures to change their own genes through simulation, thus producing these powerful and weird beasts!

"What kind of existence can arrange such a huge experimental site!"

Suddenly, Yu Liang thought that since this was a testing ground, all the creatures here were the objects of experimental observation, and he was probably among them, and he couldn't help but look up!
