Great Demon Leader: Start By Refining Flying Zombies

Chapter 8: Crazy Mutation

Gurgle gurgle!

Several large barrels of beast blood, which had long been cold, were now boiling inexplicably due to the effect of the waste pill!

After hesitating for a moment, Liang Xiao decided to take the risk.

He immediately lifted the blood barrels and poured them onto the chunks of monster meat.

During this process, a drop of dark red beast blood dripped down the steel frame and happened to land on the face of a small-sized zombie.

The drop of beast blood, like concentrated sulfuric acid, quickly melted half of its face, causing it to emit a painful roar.

However, after a moment, an astonishing change occurred!

Not only the face that was touched by the blood, but its entire body started melting, like a candle about to burn out.

The melted substance enveloped the zombie like a layer of blood cocoon, and then it completely stopped moving, as if dead.

Liang Xiao noticed this strange scene and keenly sensed that there was a peculiar vibration coming from the blood cocoon, growing stronger from weak, and eventually becoming as powerful as a drumbeat.

"This zombie seems to have resistance to the toxic pill. It's incredible. It seems like there's a heartbeat coming from the blood cocoon!"

Liang Xiao was stunned. Could the zombie that had been dead for a long time have come back to life?

The blood cocoon was quickly torn open by a pair of sharp claws. Liang Xiao narrowed his eyes, curious about what would emerge from inside.

As the claws tore, the restless creature reappeared in Liang Xiao's sight.

It resembled a Western girl... monster, but compared to before the cocoon, its size had shrunk by almost half.

From a distance, it even had devilish body curves, and some gender characteristics could be vaguely seen.

But Liang Xiao made sure that no one would have any romantic thoughts about this monster because of it.

Its hands had partially transformed into mantis-like claws, its knees had deformed into goat-like reverse-joint structures, possibly possessing powerful jumping ability.

The most indescribable part was its head, which, apart from a pair of black hole-like cavities, had no facial features at all.

It was horrifying to the extent that one would have nightmares just by looking at it at night.

"Although astonishing, it's so ugly!"

Liang Xiao couldn't help but frown, trying hard to delete that image from his mind. However, he also knew that the effect of the secret beast blood he had prepared was remarkable.

"Join this grand mutation carnival and let me see your potential!"

Liang Xiao whispered, kicking out several chunks of monster meat in four different directions, weighing nearly a thousand catties, and throwing them down.

Originally, most of the tens of thousands of zombies remained motionless, maintaining a still state.

But at this moment, the highly stimulating smell of blood swept through the entire stadium like a bomb.

Instantly, it activated the bloodthirsty instinct of these infected zombies. In an instant, they gathered towards the places where the flesh and blood fell, like locusts.

"Roar!"

A tall zombie wearing tattered football clothing, with astonishing strength, pushed aside its companions and snatched a piece of flesh and blood, stuffing it into its throat.

After a moment, however, instead of the expected mutation, it burst into a mass of pus and blood, with even its bones rotting and melting away.

And this kind of firework-like scene, within the huge venue of the stadium, appeared in succession like a chain reaction, making Liang Xiao slightly anxious.

"It seems that the number of zombies that can mutate is ultimately small. The vast majority of zombies are no different from ordinary corpses. Even with the adaptation of the bio-virus, they still can't withstand such complex and intense changes!"

However, it seemed that those zombies that exploded into fragments were not completely useless.

The malevolence and toxicity in the monster's flesh and blood, after being devoured and exploded by them, underwent a purification in terms of purity.

Liang Xiao noticed that the ground covered in tainted blood was slowly emitting a layer of eerie black-red malevolence.

The zombies I encountered seemed to have taken some kind of stimulant. While their bodies were being corroded, they were also undergoing invisible mutations.

The entire stadium was divided into four sections by the Monster meat thrown by Liang Xiao in four directions: east, south, west, and north.

The previously cocooned and mutated zombie in the east section was the focus of Liang Xiao's attention.

As expected, it showed particularly fierce behavior during the process of fighting for flesh.

Its sharp claws were able to cut through the zombies in front of it, and its speed and explosiveness had completely surpassed those of its kind.

Liang Xiao even saw that after its speed increased, it was able to briefly walk on the walls, bypassing the crowd of zombies in front of it, just to reach the flesh and devour it through the shortest path possible.

This was already within the realm of strategy!

Ordinary zombies would only mindlessly move forward, attracted by the flesh, without caring whether there were obstacles in front of them.

However, among the hundred thousand zombies, there were not only the clawed zombies.

Liang Xiao stood on the steel frame, looking around, and saw that about twenty to thirty zombies underwent cocooning after swallowing the Monster meat.

However, not all of them transformed into clawed zombies.

"Boom!"

A huge blood cocoon in the east section burst open, broken by a violent gust of wind. A short and fat headless zombie crawled out from inside, its abdomen split open with a gaping mouth.

As a few zombies approached, they saw the abdomen of the headless zombie inflate like it was being filled with air, and then a burst of air cannon shot out from its mouth!

The surrounding dense zombies didn't even have time to react before they were cleared out by the air cannon, flying ten meters away and breaking their limbs upon landing.

"Air cannon? Interesting!"

Liang Xiao raised an eyebrow, but before he could examine it closely, a blood cocoon in the south section shattered.

A completely non-humanoid mutated zombie appeared, with four hands and four feet, crawling on the ground like a spider. Its size was comparable to that of a small car.

It agilely climbed up the wall, seemingly having hooks on its hands and feet to prevent it from falling. Wherever it went, it left a series of grim claw marks on the wall.

However, it didn't last long. Liang Xiao saw that the spider zombie and the clawed zombie targeted the same piece of flesh. In their struggle, the former quickly lost.

Its four hands and four feet were severed one after another by the clawed zombie, leaving only its torso writhing like a lump of flesh. What was worth noting was that the clawed zombie dug out an irregularly shaped blood core from the spider zombie's body and swallowed it.

The spider zombie immediately lost its vitality and completely stopped moving.

In contrast, after a while, the clawed zombie's momentum greatly increased. Scales emerged from its body, reflecting a metallic luster. Its defensive capabilities were definitely not low.

"What is that? The core of a mutated zombie, similar to a Monster's inner core? It's not impossible."

Liang Xiao stroked his chin and decided to continue observing.

More blood cocoons burst open one after another, and the mutated zombies inside had similar directions of mutation.

For example, some could spit out long tongues or shoot bone needles from their palms, but their power was mediocre. Although they performed better than ordinary zombies, it was limited.

Among them, there were also mutations that caught Liang Xiao's special attention and surprised him.

For example, in the north section, there was a strange flesh flower that rooted itself in the stadium like a plant's root system. Its main body didn't move at all, but it emitted a fragrance like a Venus flytrap, crazily devouring the zombies attracted to it.

There was also a particularly huge mutated zombie in the west section, reaching a height of two to three zhang. Its appearance resembled a giant from legends, with rough and white skin like marble. It chased after flesh without anything able to stop it!

However, as time passed bit by bit...

Facing an extremely large number of zombies and the Monster meat mixed with secret beast blood, weighing over a thousand jin, it had all been devoured.

But the zombies in the stadium did not return to their dormant state as usual.

It was unclear whether it was due to the stimulation of malevolence and spiritual energy, but the ferocity of these zombies erupted to an extreme degree.

They soon began devouring each other, and the winners among them also underwent cocooning.
