"The effect is so obvious!" Lou Feier immediately lay down on the edge of the crystal building and looked down.
The mutant creatures that originally wanted to climb up and attack them all stopped their actions and stood still.
The group of mutant creatures in the rear that had not yet entered the Crystal City were restless and roaring, but the mutant creatures that had already entered the Crystal City and were affected turned a deaf ear to them and stood still, motionless.
The scene was very strange at one point.
"This... should we take action?" Lou Feier lay on the roof, pointing at the mutated creatures below that were like living targets, and asked Xu Xin in a low voice, "Are they controlled by Crystal City? Now should be a good time to take action, right?"
Jin Yue stood on the edge of the roof, looking down expressionlessly. As long as Xu Xin gave the order, she would jump in and start attacking.
"No." Xu Xin shook his head. "I said, we shouldn't attack here. It's meaningless."
"Then we..."
Xu Xin looked at Lou Fei'er and Jin Yue and asked, "Do you two feel anything unusual in your body?"
"The two of us?"
Lou Feier and Jin Yue looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Nothing unusual."
"I don't feel anything, just like usual." Lou Feier rubbed her eyes, "It's just that my eyes can't stand this crystal brightness."
… That’s basically the same as him.
Lou Feier's bloodline mutation has been suppressed by the genetic medicine, but Jin Yue's has not. In other words, Jin Yue is still a relatively ordinary person with mutated blood.
But she did not feel that her bloodline was suppressed like the mutant creatures below.
In other words, the situation was basically consistent with what Yingying had said to him in the original video and what he had imagined.
This crystal city can influence the blood-veined mutant creatures with the blood of giant beasts. The blood of giant beasts will gradually awaken, suppress the animal nature of the blood-veined mutant creatures, and allow them to break free from the original mental control.
But creatures without the blood of the giant beast, such as Jin Yue now, will not be affected at all.
Suddenly, near the crystal building where Xu Xin and the other two were, an affected mutant creature slowly sat down.
Its movement was like a fuse, immediately causing a widespread reaction.
All the mutant creatures that entered the Crystal City fell to the ground one after another.
In an instant, a somewhat painful wailing sound was heard, but the wailing did not last long, only a few seconds. While Xu Xin and the others were still shocked and had not reacted, the wailing immediately subsided.
Then, almost all the affected mutant creatures fell to the ground, closed their eyes, and remained motionless.
Only the occasional wailing and the roars of mutant creatures in the distance that had not yet entered the Crystal City area surrounded the ears of the three people.
"What...what's going on?" Lou Fei'er asked in surprise, "Are they...dead?"
Xu Xin glanced outside the Crystal City.
Although the mutant creatures outside looked extremely violent, none of them entered the Crystal City again. The encirclement was even pushed outward by several meters, leaving a circle of space outside the Crystal City.
It seems that the existence controlling them behind the scenes is also very alert at this time, and is also considering what is going on in this crystal city. It dares not rashly let the beasts enter the crystal city again, and is waiting to see what happens.
"Hmm..." Coco was also looking at the beasts outside the Crystal City, as if wondering why they didn't come in, "Hmm?"
Xu Xin immediately jumped off the crystal building and landed easily with a "click".
The two women immediately jumped down after him.
He walked up to a leopard that was about the same size as the Silver King.
"This one is a mid-level mutant creature." Lou Feier explained behind Xu Xin.
Same as Silver King.
He looked at the leopard.
The blood patterns on the leopard's body have become very dark, dark red, even leaning towards black, blending with its original stripes. If viewed from a distance, they can no longer be seen.
When you get closer, you can hear its heavy breathing, and its chest is slightly rising and falling, so it's obviously still alive.
An average leopard weighs between 50 and 100 kilograms, roughly the same as a human. This size is basically at the bottom of the big cats, but it is also comparable to the weight of the North American gray wolf, the largest canine on Earth. Leopards are slightly larger, but not by much.
It is of similar size to the Silver King, which means the concentration of its behemoth bloodline is almost the same as that of the Silver King.
This leopard is basically one of the strongest among this group of mutant creatures.
Xu Xin squatted down and reached out to touch the head of this big guy.
"Hey you..."
Behind them, Lou Feier and Jin Yue immediately tensed up, ready to attack if the leopard woke up.
However, what they imagined did not happen.
Xu Xin easily touched the leopard's head and even smoothed its fur.
"Bing!"
Even Coco jumped directly from Xu Xin's shoulder, jumped onto the leopard, and scratched its fur with its little claws.
Then the leopard still didn't move and lay on the ground as if it was asleep.
"You really didn't feel anything unusual, did you?" Xu Xin turned to look at Jin Yue standing behind him and asked again, "Can you still use your power now?"
Hearing this, Jin Yue gave a light kick and easily leaped forward twenty meters, jumping into the group of mutant creatures lying together. Then he leaped again and landed lightly in front of Xu Xin.
Her actions did not attract the attention of the mutants around her. These mutants,
"There's nothing abnormal, I can use my power normally." Jin Yue said.
Xu Xin nodded.
It seems that any mutated creature without the blood of the giant beast will not be affected by this crystal city at all.
The influence of Crystal City on mutant creatures all acts on the bloodline of giant beasts.
… This is not good news.
Once the other party understands this principle and sends a group of creatures with only bloodline mutations, they can enter the city at will!
Xu Xin stood up and looked back at the Crystal Palace and the World Tree in the center of Crystal City.
It didn't light up like the crystal buildings in the outer area, and it still emitted a bright white light of normal brightness.
Xu Xin immediately explained the current situation to the explorers.
Except for Zhao Xiaochuan, the other members of the explorers did not go out and stayed near the World Tree.
After all, Xu Xin and a few others are enough to find out the situation outside.
The situation brought by Xu Xin immediately made everyone happy.
Ji Chaoyang: "Then let's wait and see what happens. Don't take any action yet. Perhaps these affected mutant creatures can become our helpers."
Xu Xin: "That's what I think too. I will continue to observe and let you know if the situation changes."
Wang Lei: "Then we are safe, right? We don't even need to do anything ourselves, right?"
Qi Xuefei: "We can only image creatures with the blood of giant beasts. If they send purebred blood-marked mutant creatures, it will be more troublesome."
Qin Yunlong: "Blood pattern mutation should not affect body size. Look at Lou Feier and the others, their body sizes have not changed. So purebred mutants should not be big, and they should be easier to deal with."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "I'm on the other side, and the situation is the same here, but the species are different from Brother Xin's. There are small animals here, such as cats, foxes, rabbits, mice, etc. There are so many of them! Fortunately, they are also larger than normal and have the blood of giant beasts. They are also affected. They rushed in three batches in a row, but they all stood still and are no longer rushing in."
Different types
All that Xu Xin was thinking about.
It seems that the mutant creatures that were besieging this time were not controlled by one enemy, but were besieged by many commanders.
Come to think of it, this Crystal City covers such a large area that it is not something that one person can control if they want to besiege the entire Crystal City.
But if so many commanders really came, it means...
Is what Shi Wanyun said true
Are the survivors from other areas really being used as the commanding brains of the mutant beasts
Wang Lei: "Mice? Damn it, wait, if they get a bunch of mutant mice to come in and chew on the trees, I feel like something might go wrong!"
Indeed, it is always difficult to guard against small things.
Wen Guixin: "? Rat swarm? I haven't taken any action in this period of time, so you forgot about me? A swarm of rats can be easily dealt with, right?"
Wang Lei: "Ah... Yeah! I almost forgot about your ability... Wait, why didn't you take action during the previous insect plague? Didn't the insects also come in groups?"
Wen Guixin: "… Bugs are so disgusting! To control them, I need physical contact or close contact with personal equipment! I could have used fire to solve the problem, so why would I do anything? Even if I could control them a little, they wouldn't kill themselves in the fire, which would make my efforts go to waste. I won't touch those disgusting things. However, if I really need to take action, I won't hold back."
really.
Behemoths have been seen frequently recently, and her abilities pale in comparison to those used to deal with them, because it takes a long time to influence a huge beast, so it is better to kill it directly with a large weapon.
But when it comes to dealing with herds of beasts, Wen Guixin has always been at the top of combat power, and no one can match him.
Xu Xin suddenly felt relieved.
Is this the benefit of the Explorers actually getting together
Before, Wen Guixin could basically only protect her own tree house. After all, everyone’s disasters basically hit at the same time. When Wen Guixin was protecting her own tree house, other members’ tree houses were also being attacked. Her ability did not have much effect on others. They still needed to fight on their own, or wait until Wen Guixin solved the problem before helping them.
But now, Wen Guixin alone is enough to protect everyone from the attack of the beast tide!
good!
From this point of view, their defensive ability is extremely strong.
Needless to say, Crystal City can handle the giant beasts. If it is a pure-blooded mutant creature with blood patterns, Wen Guixin will deal with the herd, and Ma Hongwei's heavy crossbow will deal with the powerful individuals.
It seems that they are basically not afraid of any frontal attack.
It feels really safe.
but…
We still need to be wary of another possibility, which is non-positive means.
Xu Xin immediately called Zeng Tao, who was currently in the center of Crystal City, near the World Tree.
The call was connected instantly. Without waiting for the other party to speak, Xu Xin asked directly: "What's the situation over there?"
"Ah? The situation here... I didn't find anything unusual, it's very quiet, but the outer circle of Crystal City is all lit up, it's very clear here! Is the beast tide coming? You are over there now, right? Do you want me to help?"
"No, you are responsible for staying near the World Tree and protecting it. Also, take the bracelet I gave you. If Shi Wanyun shows any abnormality or you need to go out for action, just put her into the bracelet."
When he mentioned the bracelet, Lou Feier beside him immediately shrank her neck.
She still has a psychological trauma about the bracelet.
"Okay, I got it!"
"Do you need to be so wary of me?" Shi Wanyun's soft voice came from the other end of the line, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice, "I can't do anything now."
"You haven't proved your position yet." Xu Xin didn't say any more nonsense. "I want to ask you a question now. You only have one chance to answer. Is this beast tide related to you?"
"Huh?" Zeng Tao's surprised voice came from the other end of the voice, "What's the connection with her? I've been watching her the whole time!"
Beside Xu Xin, Lou Feier and Jin Yue were both thoughtful.
"Are you doubting that I am controlling the beasts?" Shi Wanyun said softly with a hint of annoyance, "I have been locked up by you all the time, how can I control them? If you don't believe me, let Zeng Tao put me in the bracelet."
Controlling the herd
He did not doubt this. After all, according to his previous speculation, the herd should be controlled by a group of people.
but…
Xu Xin always felt that this incident had something to do with Shi Wanyun.
This woman must be kept under close watch and constant attention.
Putting it into the bracelet is not a good idea. After all, who knows if she can do something in the bracelet.
She is a woman who can use teleportation as a means. It is still unclear whether the bracelet can trap her. The best way is to keep her in sight.
Of course, killing her is also an option, but...
It is possible that she really wants to surrender. Of course, the most important point is that she is the one who knows the most about the back of the planet, and he does not want to lose this source of information.
"I hope you're not lying. If I find out, you'll either die or live a life worse than death. You can choose which one."
After saying that, he hung up the call.
At this moment, his watch vibrated again.
I raised my hand and saw that it was Wen Guixin calling.
"Xu Xin, do you need my help? I see that those mutants can't get through, and I have nothing to do here. Didn't you say that those mutants are all unconscious? I can attack a few in different directions and let them wipe out this group of beasts in one fell swoop!"
Not that it’s impossible, but…
Xu Xin glanced at the unconscious leopard. The blood marks on its body had dimmed to the point of being invisible.
Perhaps, these can all become our partners
"Well... come to my side first. You don't have to kill the mutant creatures affected in Crystal City. I need to observe them. However, those outside the city who dare not come in... maybe we can kill some of them."
"Oh? Okay, I'm already itching to do it, I'll go over now!"
Xu Xin looked outside the city.
Although most of the materials could not be obtained if Wen Guixin was asked to handle it, it was not safe to be surrounded by them all the time.
They can't just stay in the Crystal City and not go out. Once they go out, these mutant creatures will be very dangerous.
Since you don't dare to come in, then all of you go to hell.
