When I woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Slowly opening his eyes, Xu Xin saw Li Wenxi's face still sleeping soundly.
The two of them slept on the sofa for more than two hours.
Coco had already woken up at this time and was standing beside the sofa watching the two of them. When she saw Xu Xin open his eyes, she immediately let out a "嘤" sound.
Xu Xin did not disturb Li Wenxi. He gently placed her on the sofa and stood up.
I have to say that Xu Xin now feels refreshed and full of energy.
He even felt that his body was filled with strength.
Wasn't he hypnotized by Coco
Why do I feel like all my physical abilities have improved after waking up from this sleep
Looking around, he discovered that not only he and Li Wenxi, but also Silver King, Mimi, Ah Fu, and Snow Wolf, had all fallen into a deep sleep.
Xu Xin picked up Keke from the ground, looked into her innocent eyes and said, "Who are you, little guy?"
"Hmm?" Coco tilted her head, looking innocent, her big brown and white tail swaying behind her.
Xu Xin sighed and held it in his arms: "Forget about it today, but don't do this again in the future. If there is any danger, we will all be doomed if we fall asleep like this."
Thanks to Coco, his physical fitness has indeed improved a lot in these two hours. Whether it is his mental strength, power, speed, etc., he can feel that there has been a certain degree of improvement.
“嘤…” Coco buried her little head in Xu Xin’s arms and rubbed it.
Looking at it, it seemed that it knew what it was doing and had intentionally put them into a deep sleep.
Forget it, it didn’t harm him anyway, but instead increased his strength.
I looked at my watch and found that there was still no one replying on the regional channel. It seemed that the beast tide had not completely receded yet.
He found that during these two hours, many people sent him private messages.
Ji Chaoyang: "We haven't found any trace of that person here. I'll go out and explore. Don't take it lightly, these guys are likely to come back in two days."
In two days
This is the scope of Ji Chaoyang's predictions. His predictions are usually realized within one to two days.
What did he see in the prophecy
What did he see
Xu Xin saw the private message Qi Xuefei sent him again.
Qi Xuefei: "Except for the brain, the rest of the body of this mutant is very healthy without any disease. But in his brain, I found some strange white spots. Without tools, I can't be sure what they are, but I feel that these things are like... unhatched insect eggs."
Insect eggs?!
Xu Xin thought of his previous guess.
Could it be that the thing controlling this man's mind was not a mental toxin as he imagined, but a bug
He called Qi Xuefei again to confirm.
Apart from some white granular things that looked like insect eggs in her head, she didn't find anything else special.
"Can those insect eggs be collected?" Xu Xin asked.
"It's difficult because it's too small. Let me try."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin fell into deep thought.
This matter is really strange.
It is now certain that there are two types of mutant humans, one is the hairy monster, and the other is the mutant human with blood marks all over his skin.
At present, it seems that the furry monster is the culprit of this beast attack.
As for the blood-marked humans, they were somewhat like... beings transformed from survivors, and their movements, life and death were controlled by the furry monsters in some way.
Relying on bugs
Poison
Forget it, let’s talk about it later when we get more information.
He walked to the sofa and patted Li Wenxi's face gently: "Get up."
"Hmm..." Li Wenxi did not fall asleep this time. Instead, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Xin beside him.
She grabbed Xu Xin's hand and rubbed it with her face. Xu Xin pinched her face again, and her eyes gradually regained their spirit.
Then the eyes gradually opened wider.
"Oh! How long have I slept?" Li Wenxi suddenly sat up from the sofa and looked at his watch. "Oh my god, I slept for more than two hours! I slept for so long in the broad daylight!"
"Okay, you should go back soon. Li Yajun was just looking for you." Xu Xin pointed to his watch.
Li Yajun also sent him many private messages, asking about Li Wenxi's situation, and seemed very worried.
“… Yajun really sent me a lot of private messages! Let me see… Hmm?” Li Wenxi frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"… Mutated humans have appeared around my tree house." Li Wenxi stood up with a serious expression, "I'm going back immediately."
"Mutated humans?" Xu Xin's expression also froze.
"Well, it's not a furry monster, it's a mutant like Fei'er. However, that mutant didn't do anything, just took a look, and was scared away by Yajun controlling the heavy crossbow. This happened half an hour ago." Li Wenxi was also a little confused, "It seems that there are more mutants around, I'm going to go back and take a look now."
"Okay. Contact me if anything happens."
"Um!"
After sending Li Wenxi down from the tree house and watching her enter the purple-black vortex, Xu Xin began to look around the tree house.
After the snowstorm, it stopped snowing.
Within a radius of four or five hundred meters from the tree house, the originally clean and white snow was trampled and polluted beyond recognition, and it was in a mess.
But looking far away, it was still white, covering the end of the horizon. Many wild animals that can move in the snow were moving around in this vast expanse of white snow.
To the west, Lou Feier’s three-story main tree house, whose green crown was originally quite obvious from a distance, was now covered with snow and could hardly be seen.
He looked toward the lake again.
After half a day of calm, the temperature dropped below minus 20 degrees Celsius, and the entire lake was frozen again. However, looking at the map, the red dot in the lake was still swimming under the water.
Although the temperature on the ice surface was more than 20 degrees below zero, it was still above zero below the ice, which did not affect the activities of the mutant fish in the lake much.
Outside, everything was calm and nothing unusual happened.
He went to the room and checked on Ma Hongwei, who was in a weak state. He still hadn't woken up.
However, to the southeast of the main tree house, Ma Hongwei's tree parasitic house has now fully grown, and he can live there again when he wakes up.
It's just a pity about the things inside.
Xu Xin came to the first floor of the tree house and took out the dead beasts from his backpack.
In total, there were five corpses of intermediate-level mutant creatures and more than two hundred corpses of low-level mutant creatures.
In the morning's battle, the number of low-level mutant creatures killed was far more than two hundred, as can be seen from the fact that his score has exceeded 30,000 points.
Based on 50 points for each low-level mutant creature, 30,000 points would require killing 600 low-level mutant creatures. Not to mention low-level mutants like snow foxes, most of which only had 30 points. The actual number of low-level mutant creatures killed should be close to a thousand.
The reason why there were only more than 200 corpses left was because most of them were sucked away by the plant heart.
Although it was a pity, it was necessary. If the plant heart did not absorb and attack at the same time, it would not be able to protect the tree house from so many mutant creatures.
His biggest gain this time was the corpses of these five intermediate mutant creatures!
Three snow leopards, a snow wolf king, and a snow fox.
Xu Xin took out the purple-level boning knife. He wanted to dissect the five bodies first.
Hopefully some good material can be derived from this.
Start with the weakest first.
Xu Xin brought the snow fox's body over and swung the boning knife in his hand.
After a few cuts, the snow fox's body was decomposed.
Obtained contaminated mutant snow fox fur (blue) * 1, contaminated mutant snow fox meat (gray) 50kg, mutant snow fox bone (blue) * 1, contaminated mutant snow fox tendon (blue) * 1, mutant snow fox tail (blue) * 1
A blue-level fox tail
Xu Xin immediately looked at the introduction of Fox Tail.
Mutated Snow Fox Tail (Blue): Advanced material, can be used to make a Snow Fox Scarf, which can withstand temperatures as low as -50 degrees Celsius. It loses its effect when the temperature drops below -50 degrees Celsius.
Xu Xin: “!”
Clothes that can withstand low temperatures have appeared!
Fifty degrees below zero!
The current ambient temperature is around minus twenty degrees Celsius.
This made Xu Xin a little alert. Since there were clothes that could withstand temperatures of minus 50 degrees Celsius, it meant that in this cold winter, there was a certain possibility that the temperature would be minus 50 degrees Celsius!
… It seems that this cold winter is far from over.
Although there is no purple material, it is good to have a new material.
He immediately dismembered the Snow Wolf King's body.
This time, purple light bloomed.
It’s purple!
A complete animal skin with white hair!
Purple level animal hide!
Yes, things like purple-grade animal skins are definitely strategic resources.
Needless to say, the purple-level backpack has a 2% weight reduction, which is a huge improvement over the blue-level backpack. With a purple-level backpack, you no longer have to worry about weight issues.
In addition, special equipment like those of Zhao Xiaochuan and Wang Lei also require purple-level animal skins to be made, and only one piece of purple-level animal skin is needed!
Thinking of the Hermit's Cloak, Xu Xin couldn't help but smile.
In addition, a wolf fang was also found. It was a special material of mutant creatures and could be used to make weapons, but unfortunately it was only blue-level.
From this point of view, the probability of intermediate mutant creatures producing purple-level materials is not very high.
He did not stop what he was doing and dismembered the remaining three snow leopard corpses.
The snow leopard is much stronger than the snow wolf king and the snow fox, so the things decomposed from it are also much stronger.
Although the probability of a mid-level mutant creature producing purple items is not very high, it is much stronger than a low-level mutant creature. Three snow leopards produced a purple-level animal skin and a purple-level animal tendon.
At the same time, there is also a mutant snow leopard claw (purple), a weapon material that can replace metal to make the strongest weapon in the purple level.
However, such weapon materials are no longer necessary for Xu Xin. After all, his alchemy can make steel, Li Wenxi's furnace has a certain chance of obtaining higher-grade steel, and the tree house core can also upgrade the material to purple level.
In other words, he can make Steel Block (Purple), the strongest material in the purple level, by himself.
Of course, this purple claw is still very valuable to others. After all, others do not have alchemy ability, and people in other areas may not know how to obtain the tree house core.
So, not bad.
But all these pale in comparison to the new material.
Xu Xin looked at the heart in his hand and his eyes twitched.
Contaminated mutant snow leopard heart (purple): after the mutant creatures eat it, they can quickly increase their strength, and restore and fully control their own consciousness. This heart has the same properties as contaminated meat, and is a fatal temptation for wild beasts and mutant creatures, but for ordinary wild beasts and survivors, it is the most deadly poison.
There is a certain chance that ordinary beasts will mutate.
A potion that increases the strength of mutant creatures, while also giving them full control over their own consciousness!
"hiss-"
Complete control over one's own consciousness? !
Holding this heart, Xu Xin suddenly had an absurd idea in his mind.
Aren’t the survivors who mutate after taking the mutation pill also mutant creatures
So if he took the mutation pill and ate this heart, would he be able to... perfectly control the power of the mutant creature, not only increasing his physical strength, but also gaining the ability to revive countless times? !
That's the power of resurrection!
Look at Ma Hongwei, his whole body was squeezed into a dough stick, but in the end he was still alive and well!
Xu Xin's mind began to struggle.
The abilities gained after mutation are so tempting! Not only can one's own strength be greatly improved, but the survival rate is also greatly improved.
No, there are still too many problems after the mutation, and the difference between them and normal survivors is too obvious.
Moreover, after learning the truth hidden behind this world, he still wants to survive in this world as a normal human being. He always feels that if he mutates into a blood-marked mutant creature, the situation in the future will become very complicated.
He is now helping the giants. If he mutates into a member of the Blood Mark Clan, it would seem a little inappropriate.
Moreover, he needs to stay calm at all times to control the mutated creatures around him, and the blood-marked mutated creatures are too easy to get carried away.
This heart allows a person to have complete control over consciousness, but emotions and preferences may not necessarily be affected.
They have their own consciousness and can act according to their own consciousness, but what if they want to do something? For example, killing.
You have to know that emotions and desires are related to various aspects, including environmental factors, endocrine factors, etc. They cannot be controlled by the brain alone.
The simplest example is that if we could control our emotions and desires solely by relying on our brains and consciousness, women would not be so sensitive and irritable during special periods, and it would not be so difficult for some people to quit smoking.
So, if he also becomes a bloodthirsty person, and his subordinates are all mutant creatures...
I always feel like something bad is going to happen.
He needs to keep a clear mind at all times.
Forget it. Judging from Lou Feier’s experience, the path of becoming a mutant creature is definitely not an easy one to take.
His own fighting ability is actually not that important. He is determined to become a summoning master, so he would rather not do things that allow his subordinates to fight.
In short, let Lou Feier help him walk this road first and see the situation.
Xu Xin immediately called Lou Feier and said, "Come over here."
