Abyss Summoner

Chapter 531 - 519: Bloodline Mutation

As the dragon blood potion slowly fermented within their bodies, the ten warriors had transformed into a new appearance, one filled with an air of taboo, resembling some forms of half-beastman, but their aura was distinctly different from that of typical professionals.

Professionals were undoubtedly the lucky ones among humans. They gained immense power through awakening, something ordinary people could hardly match, and as a result, their bodies underwent some changes, acquiring additional controllable energy.

However, the warriors before them had little change within their bodies; instead, their skin and genes had undergone some alterations.

It’s just unclear whether this is a permanent transformation or if they can switch back freely.

Yet, for these warriors, they seemed indifferent to the prospect of recovery. After a brief period of pain, they began to experiment with their current changes.

The warriors who agreed to participate in the experiment had long put life and death aside; for them, power might be their only pursuit.

After some experiments, the strength of the dragon blood warriors increased fivefold, and the defense of their hard armor could effectively block a steel saber, and even a forged gun would need six shots to penetrate their bodies and cause harm.

The experiment was very successful.

Chen Feng watched all this with a detached gaze.

If they could switch freely, it would indeed be a good thing. However, Chen Feng felt no guilt if they had to face the world permanently in this form.

From the start, he had made it clear to everyone that consuming the potion might result in some side effects. It was an agreement of mutual consent; there was no need for self-reproach.

Chen Feng had many other things to keep busy with, and these genetic modifications were just a small interlude.

Yet, this also gave Chen Feng some inspiration.

If the body of a giant dragon could be made into such a potion, does it signify that the corpses of other monsters could have the same effect?

Upon careful consideration, this was indeed a viable approach.

Of course, these potions were merely the undead mage’s first attempt at formulation. The results might not be entirely satisfactory, but with further research, Chen Feng would have the mage find a way to produce potions that allow the body to switch freely.

Otherwise, once many people start consuming these potions, now becoming dragon blood warriors, and possibly evolving into earth dragon warriors, giant ape warriors, and barbarian bull warriors in the future, during battles, a swarm of humanoid monsters charging forth could no longer be considered a human force—it would be practically a beastman tribe.

The most crucial point is that no one knows whether their children might inherit the genes of their parents. What if this is indeed possible?

Chen Feng’s plan is a century-long strategy.

As the population slowly increases, children who inherit the genes of their fathers or mothers might similarly turn into one humanoid monster after another.

By then, order might indeed become a beastman tribe.

Chen Feng was momentarily startled; he seemed to be frightened by his own thought, but then laughed it off.

These are too alarmist.

It’s all just his own imagination.

However, it’s a point that mustn’t be overlooked—ten or dozens transforming into monster shapes isn’t terrifying, but suppose one day, when thousands or tens of thousands of such humans appear, will ordinary people become heretics?

Become those who are excluded or even expelled.

Just like in this world, when the apocalypse erupted, the number of zombies far exceeded humans. If...if one day zombies evolve and gradually gain intelligence, will humans become the heretics on this land? Become those rejected by the world?

No matter the country or dynasty, it has always been the few obeying the many.

This applies to humans, and similarly to animals.

In ancient times, humans were scarce, and at that time, humans could only use simple tools, even needing to rub wood to create fire. But what did they face?

Dinosaurs, mammoths, and countless massive-bodied insects.

Back then, they couldn’t form a scale, thus could only struggle to survive in this world, and even more, become the prey or mockery of other creatures.

How similar is this point to the world today?

Humans.

Humans who took tens of thousands or even thousands of years to climb to the top, suddenly fell from the heavens to the mortal realm.

At this time, humans are again in an era of living day by day, residing at the lowest level. Just like Quanzhou, without his watchful care, whether it’s Xing Yong or Li Linhua, whether they are evil or good, their final fate would only be becoming ogre jerky, that sole path.

Chen Feng has his plans.

Just like he had just considered, even if it’s somewhat incredulous, even if it’s somewhat bizarre, yet once it affects the plan, it needs to be treated prudently.

Nevertheless, it must be mentioned, the undead mage is indeed a research-based Summoned Beast.

Whether it is the skeletal armor from before or the current dragon blood potion, both were orchestrated by the mage, and its remarkable intelligence seems out of place in the Bone Plain.

Instead of sinking into obscurity, it paved its own world.

Chen Feng previously talked with it and was slightly surprised to learn that it had already controlled tens of thousands of skeleton warriors.

Tens of thousands of skeleton warriors, among them some mutated zombies and other undead creatures, occupy the Death Knight’s territory. The undead mage’s power undoubtedly took a step further. Next, its plan is to eradicate some nearby riffraff and then double the number of its subordinates again.

Compared to the intrigue of the human world and the brutal blood battles of the demon world, the combat between the undead relies entirely on amassed numbers.

A large-scale battle, with tens of thousands of skeleton warriors involved, is a common occurrence. So, under such circumstances, ordinary iron weapons become ineffective.

No matter how advanced the refining technology progresses, Chen Feng wouldn’t be extravagant enough to equip tens of thousands of skeletons with weapons. Once a torrent of bones collides, the role these weapons play is minimal at best; they are not like demons or devils, only possessing bones, and their defense is the greatest weakness.

Thus, instead of providing weapons to Flora and Elwin, for the undead mage, Chen Feng primarily transported a batch of high-explosive grenades.

The craftsmanship of making grenades is very simple. Some professionals can even compress flames, forging special weapons. It can be said that the power of a single high-explosive grenade is enough to create a pit five meters deep.

This, for the undead mage, is a true help.

Chen Feng has been plotting for the Abyss not just for a day or two. He never allowed himself to get complacent after just a victory or two. The merging of dimensions has always been a potential threat lurking in his heart. He endeavors to bolster his own strength while seeking ways to become a legendary power in the shortest time possible.

Once he steps into the realm of legend, possessing the ability to open a bidirectional channel, even if the planes merge, what’s the big deal? By then, Chen Feng will let those terrifying monsters know...

Why the flowers are so red.
