"...You kicked the axe into the snow." Xu Xin glanced at her, somewhat speechless.
"I... I..." Lou FeiāEr looked at the thick snow, also a bit dumbfounded. "Iāll go find it now!"
Saying this, she dug into the snow and went in.
Xu Xin then looked at the mutated human who resembled a wild man.
Although dressed like a wild man, judging from the exposed arms and hands, apart from the blood marks, the skin was actually quite fair and smooth, completely lacking the feel of a wild man.
Xu Xin squatted down and looked at the lowered face of the mutated human.
"What the hell!" His expression changed dramatically, a cry of alarm, and he instantly jumped back, leaping three meters high with the boost in jumping ability, then fell into the snow behind.
"What happened?!" Lou FeiāEr just found the axe and immediately ran back.
"Iām fine, be careful with that guy!" Xu Xin stood up from the snow, clutching a long halberd as he walked over.
Not surprising he reacted so strongly; he just wanted to see what this man looked like and whether there were blood marks on his face.
Lou FeiāEr and Ma Hongwei only had blood marks on their face in the burst mode and when enhanced in the Red Mist. The rest of the time, as long as they dressed tightly, others couldnāt tell they were mutated creatures.
So he wanted to see what this person looked like.
As a result, he did see the blood marks on the manās face, but simultaneously, he also saw his opened eyes!
Those blood-red eyes were staring ahead, with blood threads densely covering them, seemingly about to explode.
Just at the moment Xu Xin saw him, his eyeball slightly moved, meeting Xu Xinās gaze.
Anyone in this scenario wouldnāt be startled!
"If youāre awake, speak then. You understand what Iām saying, right?" Xu Xin directly placed the halberd at his neck, lifting his head up.
"Oh my gosh!" Lou FeiāEr was instantly frightened by his bulging eyes, also jumping back like Xu Xin, "What is this?!"
Despite his head being lifted up, he still didnāt move, only widened his eyes more, and his eyeballs protruded, resembling someone with hyperthyroidism, which made people feel uneasy.
"Not speaking? Canāt understand?" Xu Xin frowned.
Could it be that mutated humans canāt communicate?
If he didnāt understand, Xu Xin wouldnāt believe it.
Not to mention humans, even mutated creatures like Mimi Silver King could understand Xu Xinās words; the only communication barrier was that Xu Xin couldnāt understand their words.
Are these mutated humans merely mutated tools without their own will and not the commanders he imagined?
"Iām asking you a question!" Lou FeiāEr stepped forward and gave the manās arm a kick.
Then, under their surprised gaze, he slumped to the side and lay down in the snow.
His eyes remained wide open but still motionless, looking somewhat creepy.
Completely unable to move?
What is going on?
"Oink!" Keke jumped off Xu Xinās shoulder, attempting to leap to the manās side, but was snatched back by Xu Xin.
"Donāt run around!" Xu Xin glared at Keke.
Looking at the seemingly completely helpless mutated human in front of him, Xu Xin suddenly had an idea.
Could he initiate a contract now?
Although he lacked the ability to craft a mutated beast contract, saving it would be wise. But this human accompanied the army of mutated creatures, if he could make a contract, perhaps, he could obtain secrets of this world from him!
At this moment, Lou FeiāEr handed him the axe sheād been holding: "Here, this is the axe he had. Itās actually a blue-level iron axe, said to be a special iron axe enhanced by mysterious power."
Iron axe? A special iron axe?
Xu Xin took the axe.
[Special Iron Axe (Blue): Originally crafted by a survivor, after being enhanced by mysterious power, it causes tenfold damage to treehouses and can chop treehouses faster!]
"Gaspā" Xu Xin inhaled sharply, turning his gaze to the fallen, bulging-eyed mutated human staring at them.
Are these mutated humans specifically here to chop down treehouses? And they possess tools crafted by survivors?
Why do they have tools created by survivors?
Xu Xin had a rather bad thought.
Regardless, first try if a contract can be made!
If a contract could be successfully signed, perhaps he would know the secret lying within him.
However, signing a contract requires the other party to completely submit. With the fierce looks heās showing, he doesnāt seem submissive, doesnāt seem like someone a contract could be successfully signed with.
Directly using a contract on him might have a 100% failure rate.
Xu Xin immediately waved the halberd, making cuts on the manās body.
Using the halberd to absorb his vitality, making him completely weak could increase the probability of a successful contract.
"Youāre going at it again..." Lou FeiāEr slightly turned her head upon seeing Xu Xinās actions.
Itās not because she found it cruel, but because Xu Xinās actions made her recall the day she was captured. Her newbie two-piece set was torn into strips, she had no strength, collapsed, begging for mercy, but still ended up having her throat cut.
Great, psychological shadow intensified...
The psychological shadow this guy left on her feels far more severe than any babysitter who tortured her.
However, it doesnāt disgust her; it just makes her purely fearful and respect Xu Xin more.
