In the darkness of the night, two huge birds are fighting fiercely.

It is the mutant rooster that flutters its wings on the ground.

Hovering in the air was a giant crow.

Alan looked up at the night sky.

I remembered that more than two months ago, the huge crow like a black dragon once stopped on the roof of the gas station for a short time.

In the days that followed, Alan also caught glimpses of the mutated bird of prey in other places in town.

Always grab prey at breakneck speed and spread your wings!

For some reason, the rooster clashed with the crow.

The rooster flapped its wings and glided between the abandoned buildings, chasing the crows.

With such clumsy flight ability, it is obvious that it cannot catch up with the crow that can fly flexibly in the air.

The crow makes full use of the air superiority and condescendingly observes the rooster's movements.

When he finds an opportunity, he pounces and tears at it with his claws.

Bloody feathers, scattered in the night wind.

The rooster could not catch the cunning crow, so he let out a long angry cry at his opponent.

A powerful shockwave erupted from its mouth.

Unfortunately, the crow had been prepared for this trick.

Seeing the rooster stretching its neck and crowing to the sky, it immediately flapped its wings at high frequency.

The massive body covered in pitch-black feathers disappeared into the night with a wave of space-distorting magical power.

In the next moment, a crow suddenly flashed from the rooster's side.

While your opponent was focused on spitting out the shockwave, he pecked it hard in the face.

Burst!

The crow fluttered its wings with a bloody eyeball in its mouth.

The rooster tilted his head and let out a painful and unwilling cry.

In the hollow eye socket on the right side, the blood could not stop flowing.

Alan stood in the shadow of the corner and watched the crow fight with the rooster.

Judging from the current situation, the rooster is not far from death.

Alan has little sympathy for this ferocious mutated bird of prey.

However, it is a pity that the rooster died, and in the early morning he could not hear the cry of the punctual call to get up on time.

Accustomed to the rules of life, Alan does not want to be broken.

So he took out a small vial of mutant jellyfish toxin that had been kept fresh by spells, and prayed to cast a spell.

“Lumbor！”

Alan grabbed the crow and teleported, and the moment he appeared behind the rooster, he whispered a spell.

Boom!

With a slight popping sound, a large pink cloud enveloped both the crow and the rooster.

So far, the crow and the rooster have large and small wounds on their bodies.

The neurotoxins contained in clouds can be infected through skin-to-skin contact.

If the skin barrier is lost, the toxin enters the bloodstream directly through the wound, and the toxicity attacks faster and more violently!

The poisoned crow, with the last of its strength, teleported to the limit height.

This instinctive act of self-help hastened its death.

Intense exercise that causes the heart to beat faster.

Toxins in the blood, which invade the heart at a faster rate, cause paralysis throughout the body.

A thousand feet in the air shrouded in night, the mournful cry of crows was heard.

The huge bird of prey, powerless to flap its wings, like a runaway helicopter, spiraled and fell.

Falling heavily on the street, splashing up a cloud of dust.

Roosters, also infected with toxins, show greater stamina and a will for revenge.

He staggered to the crow, pecked at his old enemy's head, and then sat down on the ground, the luster in his eyes fading.

Alan observed for a moment.

It wasn't until the crow with a brain that blew itself up with a bang and the dying rooster couldn't get up that he stepped forward to reap the fruits of victory.

Dissect the crow's corpse and obtain a pale cyan crystal.

Both in appearance and nature, it is very similar to the Wind Magic Stone.

By hunting various mutated creatures, Eren summed up a pattern.

Mutated creatures, most of which have magical crystals in their bodies.

In addition to the physical mutation, there are no other super-powered creatures, and the crystals in the body usually have no special attributes, similar to the attribute-free magic stones in the warlock world.

Mutated creatures that have evolved superpowers often have attribute crystals corresponding to their abilities in their bodies.

For example, the mutant carp is good at mental attacks, and the crystals in its body contain spiritual magic.

Mutant jellyfish are good at discharging, and there are electrical crystals in the body.

The mutant crow's teleportation specialty is thought to be related to this crystal in the body that contains a high concentration of wind magic.

Eren slipped the cyan crystal into his pocket and turned to look at the dying rooster.

Judging from its ability to spew supersonic shockwaves, most of its bodies have wind or lightning magic crystals.

However, killing a rooster for a piece of magic crystal, Eren felt it was too wasteful.

It is better to tame this bird of prey and act as a guard.

After making up his mind, he once again performs the "Prayer Technique" to simulate the "Turning Beasts into Friends" and exert a permanent charm on the rooster.

The rooster who was dying in a coma couldn't raise the will to resist at all, so he was easily seduced by Allen.

Eren used the last "Prayer Technique" of the day to simulate the 7-ring "Regeneration Technique".

The fingertips emit a soft glow that soothes the rooster wound.

In the blink of an eye, the rooster was back to health.

The feathers that had fallen off in battle, even the eye that had been pecked by the crow, grew back.

Alan is pleased with the results.

Holding a knife, he continued to dissect the mutant crow, cutting off the flesh and blood that remained after the self-explosion, and throwing it to the rooster to eat.

The rooster devoured it, and after a full meal, he took the initiative to approach Allen, cooing and croaking, his eyes full of gratitude.

Alan caresses the rooster's neck, and the gorgeous golden-red feathers are warm and silky to the touch, like fine satin.

At the same time, Alan senses the rooster's mental fluctuations.

The other party seems to be seeking a heart-to-heart connection with him.

This situation is no stranger to Allen.

In fact, the mutated creatures of this world, as long as they reach a certain level of intelligence, can awaken telepathy.

However, due to their respective cognitive levels, communication may not be smooth.

Alan had tried to telepathize with a stray cat, but unfortunately the other party was not interested in anything other than catching mice.

Eren was unable to get valuable information from the minds of these mentally retarded mutant animals.

However, the mutant rooster is an exception.

The mutated cells that invade the brain seem to have contributed to its intellectual evolution.

Although its ability to express and comprehend is still far from the normal level of human beings, it can barely communicate.

Through telepathy, Alan learns that the rooster is actually a pure-blooded fighting.

Before the mutation, it was carefully bred and trained by its original owner, hoping that it would be a blockbuster and win a large prize for itself in the cockfighting ring.

The owner, who had high hopes for it, also gave it a majestic name!

"Immortal birds?"

Alan was secretly amused.

Try calling the rooster by that name.

"Phoenix!"

"Goo-goo!"

The rooster responded, and his excited demeanor seemed very happy.

It is indeed an excellent fighting.

It's a pity that before he had time to fight, a catastrophe was ushered in.

Phoenix couldn't understand the cause of this disaster.

I just remember that morning, the owner didn't come to feed it.

I starved until the evening, and I didn't see my master.

Phoenix was so hungry that he ran out to forage for food.

From that moment on, the world as it had been known collapsed.

For some reason, overnight, the air and water were contaminated with some mysterious germ.

When the disaster struck, the townspeople fled to their own livelihoods.

Phoenix, along with other animals that didn't have time to migrate, stayed in town and left to fend for themselves.

In this abandoned land, mysterious germs are everywhere and everywhere.

All animals and plants, sooner or later, will become infected and mutate into monsters.

Phoenix has no clear concept of time, and he doesn't know how many years he's been living in the town after the cataclysm.

But it remembered that almost all the poultry and livestock it knew had died before it.

Some were hunted by other mutated creatures, and many more died from self-explosions.

I was walking on the road a second ago.

The next second, it exploded without warning!

These horrific and puzzling scenes left a psychological shadow on Phoenix.

I am worried that in the near future, I will also usher in the same miserable death.

Alan knew that Phoenix's concerns were not unfounded.

In the days he has settled in the ruins of Kangzhen, he has spent a lot of energy researching the mysterious germs that cause biological mutations.

All organisms infected with germs will mutate in the cells and tissues in the body.

If the mutated cells exceed a certain limit and enter the cancerous stage, the host will lose control of the mind and become gigantic.

If left untreated, they will die of self-explosion in the advanced stage of cancer.

Alan found a lot of medical equipment in the abandoned hospital in the town.

Back in the underground warehouse, he used a syringe to draw blood from Phoenix's body for testing.

The result weighed heavily on his heart.

The mutated cells in Phoenix's body are proliferating wildly uncontrollably and are already in the middle stages of cancer.

If this momentum continues, within half a year, its life will come to an end with the roar of flesh and blood blasting.

How to save Phoenix?

Alan thought of two options.

The first is the easiest.

By using the "Prayer Technique" to simulate the 6-ring "Medical Technique" or the 7-ring "Advanced Recovery Technique", all mutated cells in Phoenix can be eliminated in an instant.

However, there is a downside to this practice.

When Phoenix recovers, he will also lose his superpowers due to cell mutation and turn back into his original ordinary fighting.

It is conceivable that in this apocalyptic world where mutant monsters are rampant, Phoenix, who has returned to his original form, has no ability to protect himself at all.

So, it's not a perfect cure.

So, can we keep some of the mutated cells in Phoenix's body to curb the cancer, while retaining the mutated strong physique and superpowers?

Guided by this line of thought, Alan thought of himself.

He himself possessed a poisonous divinity, immune to all germs and toxins in the world.

His blood, the blood of a demigod, also has the miraculous effect of sterilizing and eliminating poison.

Theoretically, giving Phoenix his blood would have the effect of stopping the cancer.

However, Alan didn't know how much to give it.

The dose is too small and the effect is not good.

The dose is too large, and the result is like applying medical magic.

To do this, Alan needs to conduct a series of experiments.

In the days that followed, with Phoenix's assistance, Alan captured various mutated creatures in the town as experimental material.

In fact, he and Phoenix teamed up enough to walk sideways throughout the town.

Later, the wild cats and wild dogs in the town, the majestic rooster and the boy riding on the rooster's back from a distance, all turned away in fright.

It took two months and hundreds of experiments to come to an exact conclusion.

A drop of his blood, injected into the mutated creature, can instantly kill all the mutant cells and return to the way they were before the mutation.

When the blood is diluted with water, the effect of killing mutant cells decreases with concentration.

Specifically, a drop of Allen's blood (about 0.1 ml) + a liter of water, diluted 10,000 times of solvent, and injected into a mutated organism weighing no more than 100kg and becoming cancerous in the middle and advanced stages, can significantly curb the deterioration of the condition.

At the same time, it is not enough to abolish the superpowers of mutated creatures.

The injection dose is positively correlated with the weight of the mutant organism.

Alan tried injecting Phoenix with three units of blood solvent, and it worked well.

The cancerous tissue in the rooster's body stops the momentum of spread, at least for ten years, without worrying about the deterioration of the condition.

For a chicken, this is already considered longevity.

Alan felt that the disaster that Kangzhen suffered was not accidental.

The world outside Kangzhen is probably also full of mysterious germs and has long been reduced to ruins.

In the post-cataclysmic wasteland, will the surviving humans have to face the superpowers and the curse of cancer at the same time like Phoenix?

If this is the case, Alan has reason to think that anti-cancer drugs made from his own blood will be very useful in this world.

With this thought, Eren felt the urge to leave the ruins of Kangzhen and go to the outside world.

However, he is no longer the hot-blooded boy he was at the beginning, and he knows that this world is likely to be more dangerous than he expected.

At the beginning of the finger lake, the encounter of being devoured by mutant monster fish is still vivid, and Alan doesn't want to lose his life anymore.

The sword god has not yet been trained, and it is too early to leave Shilipo.

Suppressing the urge to go out and explore, Alan continued to devote himself to the boring daily practice.

Day after day, half a year flies.

It's been a whole year since Alan came into this world.

Now, his Warlock level had reached the early stage of the Fourth Order.

Not long ago, he successfully advanced his bloodline talent from a hill giant to a stone giant.

From now on, Allen's atavistic form has changed from looking like an iron-clad hill giant to a stone giant with a dark complexion and angular facial features.

From the ogre bloodline to the hill giant bloodline, it is still in the stage of quantitative change, but it simply becomes bigger and stronger.

However, the evolution from the Hill Giant bloodline to the Stone Giant bloodline can be called a qualitative change!

After upgrading, in addition to improving the physical attributes, the growth of the spiritual attributes has also been greatly enhanced.

After all, the Golem is not a simple-minded creature with developed limbs, a stone carver known as the Giants, a philosopher who meditates in the dark, and is even smarter than humans.

In addition to the growth of spiritual attributes, Eren also awakened two Golem bloodline talents.

One is "tremor perception", which is commonly known as blindness.

Blind vision is a transcendent sense that is higher than dark vision.

Even if you close your eyes, you can sense the wind and grass around you through your sensitive ears and skin, and create a clear picture in your mind.

The second ability is the "retreat" derived from the earth-based bloodline, which is also vividly called "earth diving".

In his atavistic form, Eren is transformed into an earth giant who can travel freely through the depths of the earth.

Neither the mud nor the solid rock formations can stop the earth giants, as if they were swimming in water, leaving no tunnels or excavation marks behind them.

What's even more amazing is that Alan is in the form of an earth giant, and even if he dives deep into the solid rock formation, he will not feel suffocated.

With this ability, when you go to explore the outside world in the future, when you encounter danger, you can sneak away as soon as possible, and your safety will be guaranteed.
