Chapter 279 Taming the Mutants

These mutants could be regarded as the advanced forms of zombies. In fact, they were already dead from the virus infection, but they were not undead like zombies because they were not transformed by death power. However, only necromancers could feel death power, so it was impossible for those besides necromancers to distinguish the difference between them and ordinary undead.

Roy’s demon blood could transform others into liches, and Frostmourne could also transform others into undead. But Roy himself did not currently have any death power, so it had to be said that it was a rather strange situation.

Seeing this, everyone might also be able to imagine that it would be very easy if Roy wanted to integrate death power as a new source power because the affinity between his body’s attributes and death power was so high!

The mutants had no interest in the corpses of the dead all over the battlefield. They bit the living to satisfy their instinctive hunger for fresh flesh and blood and the need to spread the virus. These mutants had chased after the fleeing alliance troops, but they had been stopped by the counterattack. When they sensed that there still seemed to be a living being on the battlefield, they came here to surround it. This living being was naturally Roy. Although Roy was a little surprised to see these mutants surrounding him, they posed no threat to him at all, so he did not do anything and wanted to see what they wanted to do.

These mutants were all in all kinds of ugly and disgusting shapes. They were originally hunting for food, but when they arrived not far from Roy, they suddenly stopped.

They seemed to have smelled something special, and the mutants twitched their noses and sniffed as their hideous expressions slowly disappeared. In the end, these mutants crouched down like wild beasts around Roy while making low cries.

“Huh, what’s going on?” This scene stunned Roy.

When he observed the mutants through the Demon Eyes earlier, he found that they were fearless. They no longer had any thoughts nor consciousness, and all of their bodies’ actions were just instinctive reactions under the control of the virus. In order to obtain blood food, they had even tried to attack dragons and titans. But now, they were actually crouching quietly in front of him?

Roy tried to take two steps forward but found that the mutants also retreated, and their movements looked very careful and cautious.

Are they... scared? Roy vaguely understood. Is it because of the perfect T-Virus in my body?

Between zombies and zombies, and between mutants and mutants, why didn’t they attack each other? This was because they could ‘recognize’ their companions. They could feel the same virus aura in one another’s bodies!

On Roy’s body, they smelled the ‘same kind’ scent, and this ‘same kind’ was much more advanced than them!

Be it zombies or mutants, the virus in their bodies evolved from the T-Virus in Roy’s body. This evolution was a reversion, which meant that it was degraded and diluted. Therefore, in both concentration and level, Roy’s was far superior to that of these zombies and mutants!

As soon as he realized, the first thing he thought of was to see if he could control and command these mutants.

Since they felt fear and caution, it meant that they were also divided into a hierarchy. But when Roy wanted to order them, he found that he did not know where to start.

Use language? That’s impossible. Zombies and mutants can’t understand at all. Use the mind? That’s even more impossible. The brains of these guys have long stopped functioning...

After experimenting and finding that he could not think of a way to control them for the time being, Roy could only put it aside first. He then placed his hand on the ice sculptures of Julia and the others and began melting the ice for them.

Julia and the others were frozen by the magic power of the Sword of Frost, so Roy, who held the Sword of Frost, could unfreeze them by retrieving this magic power. Both Julia and Benia were high-rank demons, and their powerful bodies guaranteed that they would not freeze to death in a short time. They had only been frozen in an instant before, and as long as the ice did not break and injure their bodies, they could recover through thawing.

But because the temperature was very low when they were frozen, Roy could not immediately thaw them and had to do it

slowly.

Roy spent a lot of time unfreezing Julia, Benia, Fat Tiger, and Cassandra. Then he spent some souls to create a new potion.

This potion was red, and Roy defined it as ‘HP Potion’. Its effect was to heal wounds and restore physical functions. The exchange price for this HP Potion was pretty high. One bottle actually cost ten souls. But correspondingly, according to the attributes given by the system after the final adaption, as long as the injuries were not fatal, this potion could theoretically heal all kinds of damage, so it was quite useful. All over Julia and Benia were necrotic muscle tissues due to the freezing. But because their bodies were strong enough, their self-healing ability had been fighting against the low temperature, preventing their bodies from becoming necrotic completely. After Roy poured down a bottle of HP Potion to each, the necrotic muscle tissues quickly began to fade, and new cells regained the upper hand.

Compared to the two of them, Fat Tiger’s situation was much better. The ultra-low temperature of the Sword of Frost did not cause any damage to him, and he only lost consciousness because of the instantaneous freezing. After Roy thawed him, Fat Tiger stood up on his own not long after. He lowered his head and whimpered at Roy pitifully, looking as though he had been bullied.

After Roy comforted him with a few words, Julia and Benia woke up one after other.

The most troublesome one was actually Cassandra. Her body only had the skeleton left, and the freezing made her bones quite fragile, to the extent of almost breaking with a touch. She only had a little bit of the death power in her body left because of resisting the frost. When Roy unfroze her, the flames of death in her eyes were about to extinguish.

Although Roy had her soul and could resurrect her, if there was a chance to save her, he had to try first. Thus, Roy looked at Rafaro, who was still frozen.

Rafaro’s body was too enormous, so much so that his ice sculpture appeared to be like a small mountain. The frozen Rafaro was still maintaining his movement at the moment he froze, looking ferocious and fierce. But the powerful death power in his body was still boundless. Through the ice, Roy could see the black mist swaying gently. Roy was about to move Cassandra onto Rafaro’s ice sculpture to absorb the death power in him when he suddenly heard an intimidating roar from Fat Tiger. He turned around and found that the mutants that had been crouching and quietly waiting were all getting restless, so Fat Tiger was warning these guys. Roy immediately realized that these mutants were probably attracted to Julia and Benia! They were afraid of Roy, but it did not mean that they were afraid of Julia and Benia. They did not have the perfect T-Virus in them, so when the vitality of Julia and Benia was restored because of the healing potion, they became fresh blood food in the eyes of the mutants.

After seeing Julia and Benia stand up, the mutants finally could not hold back. They ignored the fact that Roy was nearby and stomped their feet to rush toward Julia and Benia at lightning speed. “How dare you!!”

Roy flew into a rage. Without even thinking, a powerful wave of Psychokinesis spread out, and the few mutants that lunged into the air seemed to have been hit by a gigantic truck weighing hundreds of tons. They stopped in the air for a moment before all their bones shattered and they flew backward!

After landing, although the muscles on these mutants were still twitching, they could not stand up without the support of their bones.

There were also a few mutants that targeted Fat Tiger, but as soon as they pounced, Fat Tiger swept them away with his claws...

Roy strode over to Julia and Benia and looked at these mutants. However, the lesson from the previous mutants did not shake the remaining mutants. They looked at Roy in fear, but their gazes toward Julia and Benia were greedy.

They were so straightforward that they were like the purest children...

“What’s the matter with these guys? Are they monsters?” Julia asked Roy with a frown. She could feel the intentions of these mutants. They were planning to hunt and eat her.

“They were originally the gremlins of Dendera Fortress!” Roy explained roughly. “But because of the virus in my demon blood, they were infected and became like this...”

Hearing this, Benia was shocked. “No wonder the alliance army withdrew from the fortress. I was wondering what you had done... Looks like the alliance army was harassed by these monsters. Speaking of which, they don’t look like the monsters of the Abyss. The virus in your blood is really terrifying...”

The monsters of the Abyss were actually creatures born by fusing with demon blood. However, the situation of the birth of those monsters was completely different from Roy’s. It was stable and hereditary. That was why Benia said that they did not look similar.

“They came from me, so they’re very afraid of me!” Roy said with a headache. “I tried to control and command them, but I haven’t found a good way.” “Since your demon blood caused it, why don’t you give it a try with your blood?” Benia suggested. “Huh? This method might really work!” Roy was stunned for a moment before taking out Frostmourne and cutting a small wound on his finger with great force.

When this wound appeared and before his blood even appeared, all the mutants nearby suddenly turned to look at him. They seemed to be attracted by the scent of the perfect T-Virus transmitted from his blood.

When Roy saw this, his heart stirred. He tried to control his blood concentration by controlling his blood flow. The result was the change in the concentration of the T-Virus in his blood...

A strange scene appeared. When the smell of the T-Virus on his finger was stronger, all the mutants were staring intently at him. When his finger pointed to the right, they moved to the right; when he pointed to the left, they moved to the left. When the smell of the T-Virus was fainter, they sat quietly and looked at him like a group of well-behaved puppies.

Seeing this situation, how could Roy not understand it? Perhaps after training, these guys would be able to understand and ‘listen’ to what he meant through the smell of the T-Virus at different concentrations. This principle was like taming a beast.

To put it bluntly, to him, these mutants were just a group of Pavlov’s dogs. The change in concentration of the T-Virus was the stimulating condition that caused their neural reflexes...

The only troublesome thing was his self-healing ability. His cell actively was very high now, and a small wound healed completely in less than ten seconds. To command them once, he would have to cut a wound. That would be too troublesome, so he had to think of a better way...
