Chapter 3: Peach Blossom Jellyfish
Alan dragged the big fish back to the underground warehouse.
There are large commercial freezers in the warehouse, but the power has been cut off.
Eren doesn't have the technology to rebuild a power station, but he can cast spells to make a classical refrigerator.
Divide the edible fish, place it neatly in the freezer, and put the ice cubes in it.
On top of the ice cubes, spread a thick blanket.
Every other day, Eren casts a spell to recreate the ice cubes.
With this primitive method of ice storage, the fish can be kept from spoiling for at least two weeks.
In fact, with his antiviral physique, it doesn't matter if he eats stale fish.
Chilled preservation, mainly for taste and psychological effects.
Even in the midst of difficult times, he did not want to give up his civilized way of life easily.
In this way, Alan buried himself in the underground warehouse.
After eating mutated fish meat for a week, the purity of the ogre's bloodline has increased to 6%!
What a bonus!
Eating the flesh and blood of mutated creatures can purify the purity of the bloodline.
Knowing this law, Allen's path of cultivation finally saw a ray of light!
……
That night.
Alan woke up in his sleep.
Through the crack in the door, the faint sound of a fight could be heard.
Alan got up and walked to the door.
Listen with your ears close to the crack in the door.
In the distance, in the streets, the screams and roars of women could be heard.
There was also the muffled sound of sticks pounding and the crowing of roosters.
Hearing these noises, Allen made up a picture in his brain.
The grumpy aunt, brandishing a wooden stick and swearing, tried to drive a rebellious rooster back into the nest.
This very vivid picture is particularly terrifying when placed in the ruins of a town full of mutated creatures.
It's past midnight, and Allen's mana pool has been filled.
Perform the "Prayer Technique" to simulate the "Time Delay Advanced Invisible Technique".
After stealth, he quietly opened the security door and walked out.
Sure enough.
In the moonlit street, a woman with a wooden stick in her hand is wrestling with a rooster.
Both the woman and the rooster are oversized and exhibit mutated characteristics.
A naked woman with curly hair, dark and shiny skin, contrasting with the pale moonlight.
At first glance, it looks like a female hill giant.
Alan Zi carefully examined her face before confirming that it was human.
At least once it was human.
The height of five meters and the swollen figure are the result of the crazy proliferation of mutant cells in the body.
On the opposite side was the rooster with a fiery red cockscomb, dressed in gorgeous dark golden feathers, and only half the height of the giantess.
Compared with the giantess who wields a stick indiscriminately with brute strength, the fighting skills of the mutant rooster are obviously superior.
Running and jumping through the ruins of the building, jumping up and down until the giantess was panting with exhaustion, she turned back and let out a defiant cackling cry at her.
The giantess's mind also seems to have been eroded by mutated cells, losing the rationality that humans should have.
The bloodshot eyes reveal a naked beastly nature.
Foaming at the mouth, a string of incoherent curses came out.
Carrying a big stick, he rushed to the mutant rooster again.
If you step into a muddy puddle and fall down!
The stick flew out of his hand.
The giantess groaned and propped her hands on the ground, struggling to get up.
At that moment, the mutant rooster craned its neck and let out a long cry of magic at her.
Boom!!
The sound of the rooster's mouth turned into a shockwave, tearing the night sky and hitting the giantess in the face.
Suddenly, the skin and flesh opened, and the blood soared.
The giantess's face was a blur of flesh and blood.
He hid his face with his hands and let out a miserable scream.
The mutant rooster took the opportunity to pounce on her and pecked wildly at her face.
At the same time, with a chicken claw as sharp as a short sword, the belly was cut, and the intestines flowed to the ground.
Alan watched incognito, slightly moved.
The shockwave spewed by the mutant rooster is quite powerful.
Using the analogy of the magic guide martial arts, it is equivalent to a thundering burst wave.
It seems that there is a certain probability that the creatures infected with mutated cells will evolve supernatural abilities.
For example, the psychic piercing of the strange fish in the lake, and the sonic impact of this mutant rooster.
As for the giantess who was hit hard by the mutant rooster, she didn't seem to have evolved any superpowers except for brute strength.
On the contrary, the intelligence degraded to the level of the ogre, and was played around by a chicken.
In this fight, the mutant rooster, which has gained an overwhelming upper hand, jumps away from the giantess and hides behind a pile of building ruins.
Just when Alan was wondering, the giantess's blood-drenched head suddenly exploded with a bang.
Immediately afterward, the giantess's abdomen swelled sharply.
With a thunderous roar, it also exploded.
The internal organs turned into plasma and minced meat, splashed all over the sky, and scattered in the wind.
Seeing this scene, Alan immediately recalled the corpse in the underground warehouse.
Mutant Creature ...... At the very least, mutated humans, generally possessing near-death self-detonation properties.
Mutant roosters, well aware of this trait.
So when the giantess was dying, she ran to a safe place far away in advance and hid.
Only after the prey exploded and the crisis was resolved, did he hold his head high and return to the mutilated corpse unhurriedly to enjoy dinner.
Alan watches the mutant rooster eat.
Secretly assessed how sure he was of killing this monster if he shot it himself.
The result of the assessment was that it was possible to hunt, but not tonight.
With his current mana reserves, he can only perform the "Prayer Technique" once a day.
Today's casting opportunity has been spent on invisibility.
Without the aid of spells, Allen has little chance of winning directly against a mutant rooster that is more than two meters tall, strong and agile, and can also spray "shockwaves".
Finally, after taking a deep look at the mutant rooster, Alan remained invisible, returned to the underground warehouse, and locked the security door.
Put aside distracting thoughts and continue to meditate.
Two days later.
Early in the morning, Alan quietly opened the door and stood in the shadow of the corner to observe the movement outside.
On the streets, there are especially traces of blood from the fight the night before.
The body of the giantess is gone.
With the size of a mutated rooster, it will not eat all the huge giantesses.
It may be that the leftover prey is dragged back to the nest as a backup food.
It could also be that after the mutant rooster left after a full meal, other mutated creatures ate up the remaining corpses.
Now, Alan has a deeper understanding of the dangerous creatures in the ruins of Kangzhen.
When you go out for a walk, you have to be extra careful.
There is also a lot of grain reserves in the underground warehouse.
There's no need for Eren to go out and forage for food just to fill his stomach.
The reason why he returned to the lakeside was mainly to hunt strange fish and purify the purity of the giant bloodline.
Today Alan is not in a hurry to fish, and explores around the lakeside.
He didn't cast a spell for two days.
The accumulated magic power is used to simulate the "trigger technique" and "teleportation technique", and the chain blessing is on oneself.
This insurance is the basis for him to dare to go out and explore.
In case of being attacked by monsters, the "Trigger Technique" will be automatically activated, and the "Teleportation Technique" will be activated in a chain to ensure that he can escape back to the underground warehouse for refuge in the first place.
After walking a short distance, Alan noticed a large area of pink umbrella floating on the surface of the lake near the shore.
From a distance, it looks like a lotus flower in full bloom.
Allen, of course, knew that there were no lotus flowers in the Finger Lake.
Those floating pink creatures are actually a group of peach blossom jellyfish.
To be exact, a mutated peach blossom jellyfish.
The size of each one has increased by no less than ten times.
Alan picks up a pebble and throws it at the lake.
Poof!
Calm lake, splashing a small wave.
The mutant jellyfish is frightened and shrinks and floats.
The corona-shaped head inspires a circle of shining electric light!
Crackle!
The surface of the water was filled with electric light.
Alan stood on the shore and watched, as if he had realized something.
These mutated jellyfish have evolved the ability to discharge.
In the blink of an eye, Alan came up with a great idea.
Open the Beyond Limits and envelop the waters inhabited by mutant jellyfish.
Promote the "energy source" and quietly absorb the electricity in the water.
In this way, Eren can convert electricity into mana, quickly filling up the dry mana pool.
The electrical energy that cannot be absorbed by the mana pool is stored in the "energy source".
When meditating, it is released to enhance the efficiency of cultivation, just like using electric magic stones to assist in cultivation.
Every half hour, Alan throws a stone into the lake, causing the frightened mutated jellyfish to discharge en masse.
Hide on your own from the safety of the shore and calmly absorb the electricity.
This is repeated several times until the mutant jellyfish no longer discharges under stress.
Tired floated on the water, as if it had been squeezed dry.
Alan finds a large travel bag in the underground warehouse, which he uses to carry various tools when he goes out.
Unhooked his backpack, pulled out a cable with an iron hook tied to it, and threw it towards the lake.
In the same way as before, the mutated jellyfish close to the iron hook are frozen in the ice ball and dragged back to shore.
Alan knows that peach blossom jellyfish are poisonous.
Will the mutation be much more toxic?
With this question in mind, he urged the "Annihilation Origin" to disintegrate the ice shell wrapped in the mutant jellyfish.
How to extract toxins from frozen mutant jellyfish?
For the average person, this is a technical dilemma.
For Allen, it's simple.
Although he no longer has bone spurs and venom glands, he still has the "Wish Technique", which can simulate the spell of extracting and preserving toxins for 20 points of mana.
Where does the magic come from?
The mutant jellyfish in the lake are his free chargers.
Mutant jellyfish also have crystals that contain magical powers.
Just like the superpower it manifests, the crystal contains a high concentration of electrical magic.
Allen's electric divinity is equivalent to the bloodline of an electric warlock, and he can use this crystal to assist in meditation practice.
Allen values the toxins extracted from the mutant jellyfish.
He himself was completely immune to toxins and could not test how virulent the mutated peach blossom jellyfish was.
Now, he needs a group of volunteers who are willing to dedicate their lives to the cause of scientific research.
So he once again set his sights on the mutant monster fish in the lake.
Alan tests the toxins of mutated peach blossom jellyfish on ten strange fish
Swelling and paralysis, the most prominent physiological manifestations after poisoning.
However, it did not cause lethal poison to the mutant monster fish.
This result is also normal.
If the mutant jellyfish can easily poison the monster fish, there will be no schools of fish in the lake.
Alan needed more samples for experiments.
For the next week, he experimented with the most common mice and stray cats found in the ruins of towns.
These two mutated creatures are a hundred times larger than ordinary cats and mice.
Immediately after being poisoned, he collapsed and was swollen.
If you don't last more than 20 minutes, you will die of heart paralysis.
Alan was pleased with the results of the experiment at this stage.
Playing with drugs, but he relied on his housekeeping skills to become famous.
With the mutated jellyfish toxin, the poison magic has the material to cast spells.
Alan felt that the day when he walked sideways around the town was not far off.
……
Two months later.
Allen's Warlock level has been upgraded to the early stage of the second order.
Attributes: Physique 21, Agility 16, Spirit 14.
Five upgrades before and after, a total of 5 physical attributes are gained, plus 1 mental attribute.
The extra physique, agility, and mental attributes each have 1 point, all of which are eaten.
Now Alan knows that eating mutant creatures for a long time can not only improve the purity of the bloodline, but also increase the attributes!
Specifically, eating the flesh of mutated creatures can help increase their physique and agility attributes.
Eating or absorbing the magic crystals in the bodies of mutated creatures can promote the growth of spiritual attributes.
Now, the purity of his ogre bloodline has reached 7%!
The physique stat is also over 20 points.
It took a day for Eren to advance to the Hill Giant!
After the bloodline is advanced, the physical growth is further improved.
In the future, if you level up, you will have a high probability of increasing your physique attribute by 2.
Agility and spirit are not the strengths of the hill giants.
The probability of increasing these two attributes when leveling up is extremely low, and it is more reliable to count on luck, than to eat more mutant monsters.
Allen's second-order atavistic form changed from an ogre that was originally more than three meters tall to a hill giant form that was five meters tall and weighed more than a ton.
Hill giants, who look like taller and stronger ogres.
The voracious craving for food is no worse than that of ogres.
In his atavistic form, Eren gains an additional 4 points of physique and level 4 innate armor.
Purely in terms of hand-to-hand combat, he has surpassed his own level of the same level in reality.
A giant warlock who was not good at spellcasting in the early days.
But for Allen, it doesn't matter whether he awakens a spell or not.
Anyway, there is a demigod person's own "prayer technique", what magic is needed, just pray directly to simulate.
Allen's current mana, a total of 70 points.
It allows him to perform the "Prayer Technique" three times a day.
During this time, he also developed a knack for quickly replenishing his mana.
In fact, it is very simple, carry the crystals taken from the mutated jellyfish with you, drive the "energy source", extract the magic contained in the crystals, and immediately replenish the mana pool.
Draining a crystal can restore 20~30 points of mana, which is enough to perform a "Wishing Technique".
In addition to the electric crystals produced by the mutant jellyfish, the other energy attributes contained in the "Energy Source", the corresponding crystals, can also be absorbed by Allen and used to replenish the consumption of mana.
Just like in the Warlock World, absorb magic stones or magic shells with energy attributes.
During this time, in addition to his practice, Alan was also cautiously expanding the scope of exploration.
In the entire ruins of Kangzhen, he is the only human inhabitant.
There are quite a few mutated insects and beasts.
Fighting alone, Alan is sure of winning.
However, social organisms in nature may inherit social habits after mutation.
For example, swarms of huge ants, mutant bee swarms that cover the sky, Allen does not dare to provoke at present.
Occasionally go out to hunt mutated creatures and get food and energy crystals, always quick to win.
Avoid alarming the mutant swarm and falling into the encirclement.
That evening, Alan was meditating when he heard a rooster crowing outside the door.
Alan could tell it was the mutated rooster that had hunted the giantess before.
Not counting him, that rooster is likely to be the most combat-ready creature in the ruins of Kangzhen.
Even the mutant ant colony was frightened when they heard the rooster crowing.
Allen has never hunted mutant roosters, mainly because it rarely moves around the area.
In addition, the mutant rooster crows on time every morning, acting like a natural alarm clock.
Living in the ruins of a lack of chronometers, Alan has become accustomed to waking up every morning to the loud crowing of a rooster.
Tonight, however, was unusual.
The rooster crows intermittently and sounded a little weak.
Alan got up, opened the security door, and went out to check.
