After hanging up the call, Xu Xin once again observed the affected mutant organisms around him.
They were no longer in a completely comatose state, but had some slight movements.
Especially the leopard in front of him, its claws had begun to retract and shrink unconsciously, and it always felt like it would swing its claws in its sleep.
"You two, can you feel any obvious changes in them?" Xu Xin picked up Coco, who had been lying on the leopard, and put it on his shoulder, then turned to ask Lou Feier and the others.
Both of them have mutant blood and have always been very sensitive to other mutant creatures. They should be able to sense something.
But they all shook their heads.
Lou Feier looked at the mutant creatures still sleeping around him, touched his smooth chin and said, "I don't feel any changes. We can only feel that they have the power of blood pattern mutation. At least from my feeling... they don't seem to be weakened."
Jin Yue also nodded and said, "Just from the perspective of blood pattern mutation, they are still as strong as ever. Although the blood pattern on this leopard has dimmed, it is still a mid-level mutant creature."
Is that so.
Xu Xin pointed to the second-floor crystal building they had just jumped off from, "Let's go up and wait. It looks like these affected mutant creatures are about to wake up. We can't guarantee that they won't hurt us."
The three of them returned to the top of the second-floor crystal building.
Xu Xin sat on the edge of the crystal building, waiting for these creatures to wake up.
The movements of this group of affected mutant creatures have become increasingly larger, and some of them even turned over from their prone position, with their bellies facing the sky and their limbs swinging, performing movements that showed no sign of vigilance at all.
Even if they are in a coma at this moment, it is enough to see that they are no longer in as much pain as when they were wailing and unconscious just now, and even... a little comfortable
"Xu Xin, are you planning to let Wen Guixin use her abilities to deal with the mutant creatures surrounding them?" Jin Yue asked at this time.
“I have this idea.”
Xu Xin looked at the somewhat agitated beasts outside Crystal City that were still surrounding it. "Now that we have Crystal City as a shield, other mutant creatures dare not approach this side, but they don't seem to be planning to leave. With Wen Guixin's ability as our strength and Crystal City as our defense, we should be able to easily drive away this group of beasts."
Jin Yue looked at the group of mutant creatures: "If they enter Crystal City, they will also be affected. If these affected creatures can help us..."
"Do you think, given the current situation, they will still be controlled to rush in?" Xu Xin pointed at the mutant creatures below, "Rather than letting them become a danger outside the Crystal City, it is better to kill them all. As for the creatures with the blood of giant beasts... The thing this world lacks the least is creatures with the blood of giant beasts."
“…That’s true.” Jin Yue nodded slightly.
"Ah, they're awake!" Lou Feier whispered, "One of them woke up!"
Xu Xin immediately looked in the direction Lou Feier pointed.
Indeed, it was a black bear. It had changed its original posture of lying on the ground and slowly stood up. Then, it scratched the big black head with its heavy bear claws, and then made a... somewhat puzzled bear cry
Judging from its appearance, it seems that... it can control itself? And, does it also have a certain level of intelligence
"Its action is so incongruous..." Lou Feier complained.
really.
Because bears can stand on two feet, this mutant black bear is doing so at this moment.
Coupled with its head scratching action, it now looks like a human wearing a black bear skin.
In addition to this black bear, other affected mutant creatures also woke up one after another. When they first woke up, they all felt a little confused like the black bear.
They turned their heads like curious babies, looked around, and even used their paws to nudge their unconscious companions.
There were even a few of them that gathered together, making "awwww" sounds and talking about something.
Xu Xin immediately activated his mind-reading ability.
A large amount of information suddenly rushed into my mind.
"Where...is this place?"
"What just happened?"
"Why are they all... lying on the ground..."
"What is the situation now..."
"have no idea… "
"But it's so comfortable, it's so comfortable here, I don't want to leave..."
The voices of the mutant creatures around him that were affected flooded into his mind.
If he had not seen with his own eyes that there were a group of mutated creatures around him, he would probably have thought that these were a group of people who had just awakened and were having a conversation.
At the same time, because the range of his mind-reading ability is about 300 meters, the voices of the mutant creatures outside the Crystal City that have not yet been affected also flooded into his mind.
"Kill, kill, kill..."
"Eat him!"
“Go, go, go!”
"Hungry! Hungry!"
The thoughts of these mutant creatures outside the city are much simpler. They almost all have only one idea, and that is to rush in and cause trouble.
Almost all the affected creatures around them woke up. They formed small groups like a crowd and talked to each other using animal calls.
It even stretched out its claws and made some gestures.
Because there were so many mutated creatures around, a large amount of words instantly flooded into his mind. It was extremely confusing and gave him a headache.
They were basically saying things like "What is this place?" and "It feels so comfortable."
Xu Xin immediately turned off his mind-reading ability and rubbed his head.
"Hmm? Hmm!" Coco lay on Xu Xin's shoulder and called out a few times towards the ground.
Suddenly, several of the surrounding ones looked over and even responded a few times.
"Are they communicating with each other?" Lou Feier asked in surprise.
Both she and Jin Yue looked at the scene in front of them with some surprise.
Xu Xin was also a little surprised.
Have these mutated creatures been influenced by this crystal city and gained intelligence
… that’s not right.
The creatures in this world inherently possess extraordinary intelligence.
Koko had no idea how many animals he had communicated with normally, and she even served as his translator.
Silver King and Mimina could understand what he said, and their thoughts were almost the same as those of normal humans. The only difference was that their thinking was relatively simpler and not as complicated as that of humans.
Not to mention those giant beasts, the giant python in the underground world, the soft giant beast pressed under the prison, and the giant insect driven away by him. Their thinking has become very clear, no different from that of humans.
It may even surpass ordinary humans.
They are not the only ones affected.
Xu Xin recalled the huge fish that were left jumping on the ground when the flood receded.
When he asked the fish to stop, they stopped; when he asked them to leave, they immediately jumped on the ground and returned to the lake.
Even fish with extremely low IQs can still understand what he says and respond to it.
At that time, he thought that the creatures in this world were so intelligent, but now he thinks...
This is Earth. It's impossible that these creatures have evolved into such advanced intelligence in just a thousand years, right
This is probably the benefit that the blood of the giant beast brings to them!
The wild animals in this world have all been influenced by images to varying degrees, and almost all of them have the blood of giant beasts, so they all possess extraordinary wisdom.
If you calculate it this way...
Bloodline mutation should not enhance intelligence. Not only that, it may even cause the mutant to become mentally ill and have a decreased intelligence.
This can be seen from the blood-marked troll that was blown to pieces by Xu Xin. Although it was so big, its inner thoughts made people feel a little confused.
What can also prove this point are the blood-marked beasts in the underground world. Each of them is huge in size, but their voices are not as clear as those of the creatures around Xu Xin now.
Then the behavior of these creatures can be understood.
Their blood pattern mutations were suppressed, the giant beast bloodlines were strengthened, and while their consciousness was restored, their intelligence increased to a certain extent, leading to the current situation.
"They're moving!" Lou Fei'er was very curious about these animals that behaved a bit like humans. When she saw them moving, her eyes lit up and she asked, "Are they... going to come into the house?"
Xu Xin and Jin Yue also looked over.
After these animals took action, they did not attack the city again, but they did not leave the Crystal City and return to the herd.
One by one, they walked into the crystal house that was emitting a bright white light.
The light emitted by these crystal houses was no longer as bright as before, and gradually returned to its normal brightness.
But even the crystal house that has returned to normal is still very attractive to these mutant creatures.
Xu Xin started reading minds again.
“It’s so comfortable inside…”
“I like these houses.”
"I'm going to live here..."
"I want to sleep..."
Similar thoughts flooded into Xu Xin's mind, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
These creatures are all attracted to the crystal house and even want to live here and never leave!
"What's going on? How did they all get into the house?"
Lou Feier was very curious about the behavior of these mutant creatures. Finally, she couldn't help herself and jumped down from the roof and looked inside the house.
Jin Yue looked at Xu Xin.
Xu Xin nodded and jumped down, followed closely by Jin Yue.
Lou Feier was looking into the house from the window at this time. Seeing Xu Xin and the other two coming down, she turned around and said, "I thought those guys came into this house together to fight for territory, but they didn't. It's really boring."
This crystal house was the two-story crystal house where they had just stood.
Because it has two floors and is the largest house in the area, a total of six or seven mutant creatures entered it. They all seemed to be stronger individuals in the group, including the leopard just now.
At this time, several people looked inside from the window. The mutant creatures in the house all seemed to be lying comfortably. The leopard just now even opened its mouth and yawned, and glanced at Xu Xin and others who were looking in from the window.
"It doesn't look like an enemy..."
Then, it curled up its body, buried its head, and went to sleep.
It's somewhat similar to how Mimi would curl up by the fireplace during the cold winter months.
In short, it's very comfortable and seems to be defenseless.
It should be able to feel a strong sense of security in this house.
The same was true for the other animals in the house. None of them had any hostility towards other animals. They were all lying there comfortably, as if they had regarded this crystal house as their nest or cave.
Xu Xin looked at the other crystal houses again and found the same situation in all of them.
This was in stark contrast to the increasingly noisy mutant creatures outside Crystal City, who seemed to be going crazy.
The group of mutant creatures outside has begun to stir again, and the howling sounds can be heard one after another.
At the same time, the voices of these mutant creatures in the house are also somewhat funny.
"It's so noisy outside."
"Disturbing my sleep..."
"Go out and kill them... Never mind."
They are all very lazy, but that's normal. Perhaps, just like Lou Feier before, suppressing the mutated bloodline requires physical strength. They must be very tired now.
"嘤!" Coco suddenly jumped off Xu Xin's shoulder and jumped directly into the house.
This little guy...
It ran up to a black bear whose paw was bigger than it was.
At this time, the black bear was lying on the ground. Coco pushed its black bear paw with its little paw: "Oh, oh, oh!"
“Roar…?”
"Bing!"
"Hey, do you think we can have normal communication with them now?" Lou Feier raised her eyebrows and leaned over the window to shout into the house, "Hey, hey, you guys, can you understand what I'm saying? I'm one of your kind!"
Several mutant creatures in the room raised their eyes and looked over.
“They are the same kind.”
“She’s very strong.”
"I'm so tired. I don't want to talk."
These mutant creatures simply raised their eyes for a moment and went back to sleep.
It seems that these mutant creatures are indeed communicating.
… Is this the function of Crystal City
Capture these mutant creatures directly from the heart
Coco ran around the house and greeted all the big guys, but they were tired and didn't respond, so Coco ran back feeling a little bored.
"嘤!" It did not climb onto Xu Xin's shoulder again, but ran to other crystal houses.
Xu Xin decided to have some tentative communication with the wild animals in the house to see their attitudes.
It would be great if we could use these wild beasts for our own benefit!
"You guys should be able to understand what I'm saying, right?"
Xu Xin thought for a moment, walked to the door, and said, "It seems that you like this place very much. We are the owners here, and we welcome you to live here. But since you live here, you have the responsibility to protect this city."
His words immediately attracted the attention of several wild animals in the house, and they all looked towards him.
Even the beasts on the second floor appeared at the stairs and looked down.
"He is the owner of this place...?"
"He feels... so comfortable too."
"I can't see through his strength..."
"I want to follow him..."
"Can I live here?"
"Isn't it our duty to protect this place?"
As the thoughts flooded in again, these mutant creatures began to make friendly calls.
Their reaction to Xu Xin's words was much stronger than their reaction to Lou Fei'er, which made Lou Fei'er a little unhappy: "What? They ignored me when I spoke, but they all stood up when you spoke?"
The leopard even walked up to Xu Xin and rubbed his body with its head to express its goodwill.
Wow, it seems that as someone connected to this city, he can directly gain the favor of these affected mutant creatures just like this city
This feels really good!
It would be so nice if they could really protect the city!
There is probably a circle of affected creatures around Crystal City now. In this case, they will have a circle of troops that can be used for defense!
They don't even need to worry about it themselves, these affected mutated creatures are the best guards outside Crystal City!
This is really good!
Well... there are so many mutant creatures, and it is not an easy task to incorporate them into the defense system.
Xu Xin touched the leopard's head, and the leopard licked him with its barbed tongue, enjoying it very much.
Looking at the leopard, Xu Xin suddenly had an idea.
… Maybe, let Mimi lead them
Mimi is about to be promoted to a high-level mutant creature, and its strength is much stronger than these mid-level creatures. If it can command this army of mutant creatures...
"Xu Xin? Are you here?" At this time, a voice came from a distance.
It was Wen Guixin's voice.
She finally arrived.
She had no mount, and there were no living creatures in the Crystal City for her to infect or control, so she was very slow in coming.
"Here!" Xu Xin walked out of the crystal house and saw Wen Guixin walking towards him not far away.
"We are here!" Lou Feier also waved at her.
Jin Yue followed behind the two of them without saying a word.
"Ah, you guys are here?" Wen Guixin immediately ran over and looked around curiously, "What's going on around here? Where are those affected mutant creatures?"
"Inside the house." Xu Xin pointed inside the house, "It's like this..."
He briefly explained the situation.
"You mean, we have an army of wild beasts?" Wen Guixin asked in surprise.
"It's indeed very likely." Xu Xin nodded.
"Well, but they seem to only listen to Xu Xin. They ignore me." Lou Feier spread her hands.
"There is such a thing?" Wen Guixin was surprised, then pursed her lips, "It has nothing to do with me anyway, I'll leave this matter to you. I'm not suitable for contact with them. My goal is..."
She looked outside the Crystal City, the corners of her mouth curled up: "Now, is it my turn to take action?"
