Chapter 17 Arriving at the Great Wilderness Mountains! Strengthening Potion!
An hour later, Xia Fan was back on the road. The corpse of the giant blue wolf had become badly damaged, and most of its flesh and blood had gone into his stomach.

And behind him, a beam of purple light was following closely.

This beam of purple light is the magic cat.

Sometimes it flew around Xia Fan, sometimes it lay on Xia Fan's back. In short, it was never idle.

Xia Fan did not interfere with this.

Through the crystal core of the giant blue wolf, he had successfully gained the favor of the magic cat and got it to follow him.

"Meow--"

At this time, the magic cat let out a cry. Xia Fan looked over and saw it tilting its head, with its big eyes full of curiosity. So it stopped, raised its front paws and pointed in the direction of the Great Wilderness Mountain.

The communication between the two is so simple, but it allows the other party to understand the general meaning.

Moreover, this magic cat is naturally curious and has become interested in Xia Fan.

Xia Fan believed that as long as he fed it a crystal core from time to time, he would be able to gradually tame it.

By then, he will have a powerful king-level auxiliary beast.

"We can't rush this matter."

Xia Fan looked at the magic cat jubilantly beside him and thought to himself, "There is a long way to go. I have plenty of time."

"As long as there are enough crystal cores, we can subdue it."

"After all...this kind of thing can't be rushed."

Having made up his mind, Xia Fan couldn't help but speed up. Although he didn't show this to the magic cat, it followed him effortlessly.

In this way, a tiger and a cat, one in front and one behind, moved towards the Great Wilderness Mountains.

……

At the same time, the imperial capital.

"Professor Xia, do you want to conduct a second experiment?"

In a large research institute, Xia Xinyu, wearing a research suit, stood in front of a huge transparent glass wall.

In his sight, there was a shirtless, strong soldier.

The words just now were said by his assistant.

Xia Xinyu retracted his gaze and looked at his assistant, "During this period, many soldiers have sacrificed their lives in order to hunt down the ferocious beasts."

"Originally, I thought that if possible, I would capture a living beast. That would be more beneficial for subsequent research."

"It's just... the beast that turned into a ferocious beast has an extremely violent personality. Even if it dies together with our warriors, it will not surrender."

"Therefore, the research results obtained through all these hardships are particularly precious."

"Professor Xia, we all know this."

The assistant looked solemn, knowing that Xia Xinyu and the army cooperating with them in the research operation had paid a huge price to fight against these ferocious beasts that appeared due to the mutation.

At the beginning, the first experimental subject was Professor Xia’s own son, but he died directly after undergoing an experiment.

Xia Xinyu suppressed his grief and continued his experiments. With the help of his own son's corpse, he further strengthened the medicine and developed a fortified medicine that was more suitable for human consumption.

"Let's get started."

Xia Xinyu was silent for a long time before he nodded and said, "Let's start the countdown for the second experiment of the strengthening potion."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the researchers around him took action.

A researcher brought a glass bottle of red potion into the transparent room and handed it to the soldier inside. He said solemnly, "Xu Heng, this bottle of strengthening potion was developed by Professor Xia using the crystal cores, blood, and genes of fierce beasts." "You were a soldier who fought against fierce beasts. You understand how terrifying they are."

"Once you swallow the potion, you are likely to die."

"So, before starting the experiment, I would like to ask you again, are you willing to be the subject of this experiment?"

"I am willing!"

At this moment, Xu Heng's expression was extremely determined.

The reason why he applied to become a test subject for the strengthening potion was because he had participated in an operation to hunt and kill ferocious beasts, and had witnessed his comrades die at the hands of the beasts.

Although Xu Heng himself survived by chance, he also lost a leg.

"When I woke up alone in the hospital, I swore that as long as I lived one more day, I would fight the beast to the death."

"But I know that ordinary people cannot fight against ferocious beasts with their own strength."

"Only by becoming like them can I fight those beasts and avenge my brothers!"

"Okay, I also hope that you can be successfully transformed by the strengthening potion."

The researcher nodded and handed the enhancement potion to the other party, but reminded him again, "I will add some equipment to your body to detect your physical condition later. In ten minutes, you have to swallow the enhancement potion and officially start the experiment."

"it is good!"

Outside the glass wall, Xia Xinyu looked at the busy figures with a serious expression.

When the assistant came back to him, he said with an unchanged look, "The genes of the fierce beasts are extremely powerful. Even a drop of their blood could make us humans sick or even die."

"Compared to them, we humans are so fragile."

"Yes."

The assistant nodded slightly, also extremely worried, "I heard that ordinary maximum caliber bullets can no longer cause damage to ferocious beasts."

"So, the only hope to defeat them lies with you, Professor Xia, and with us."

"Professor Xia, you said... can this strengthening potion unlock the human gene lock and allow us humans to awaken the same extraordinary abilities as the ferocious beasts?"

None of the previous experiments were successful, which was a big blow to everyone. Professor Xia even fell ill.

If they fail this time...their experiment will most likely be stopped, and the country will then directly use force to deal with the ferocious beast.

If the problem cannot be solved, they will be slowly destroyed by the ferocious beasts.

"Certainly possible!"

Xia Xinyu's eyes gradually showed a firm and confident look. "This time, the strengthening potion has greatly reduced the harmful substances in the beast's ability crystal core and blood that are harmful to the human body, while retaining their function of opening the human gene lock."

"Although people will feel pain after swallowing the strengthening potion, but... this is something they must experience."

Ten minutes passed quickly.

Xia Xinyu watched the last second pass, and then loudly ordered, "All departments should prepare to collect data, and the experimental subjects can start taking the medicine."

"The experiment begins!"

Xu Heng nodded, raised his head and swallowed a bottle of strengthening potion without hesitation, then stood there, motionless.

Xia Xinyu and the others looked at him expectantly, staring intently.

Soon, the strengthening potion took effect, and Xu Heng's body turned red under the effect of the potion!

"Quick, record the changes in the test subject's body data!"
