Chapter 2577 Experiments (2)
"Upir, wake up."
Minosmanded, suddenly making the newly leveled creature tremble, feeling a threatening sensation even stronger than that of the ck liquid that had entered him.
Through the Dark Sea, Minos entered the undead creature''s mind and made it aware of the surrounding situation.
Unlike the corpses that were revived by the ck liquid, Upir didn''t show the chaotic attitudes of an irrational creature when he opened his eyes, which were nowpletely ck without the white part of his sclera.
"Minos... I feel strange," he replied, rising to his feet. "I feel... I feel a thirst, an urge, a deep desire for..."
"Blood?" Minos anticipated the creature''s answer.
"Yes. I can control myself enough not to attack you, but I can almost feel your blood flowing through your body," he said as he clenched his fists and tried to control himself.
But even though he felt a strange desire for the blood of these people, he was even more afraid of Minos. The Dark Sea frightened him so much that he remained more rational than he thought after feeling the improvements in his being.
''Abby doesn''t control me right now. But maybe that will change... I should try...'' His thoughts stopped here as he looked at Minos, whom he couldn''t help but fear.
The feeling that came from Minos, even without the Dark Sea, was strange to him.
Minos saw the corpse''s conflicting thoughts and said to his wife, "Use your skill on him. He could break the connection with you while improving his cultivation. Let''s bring him back under control."
As Minos spoke, Abby''s cultivation jumped to level 108, while she was already moving to use her divine skill against Upir.
For a moment, Abby felt as if she had never resurrected this being and had to repeat the process, which made her frown even more.
''That feeling...''
Then, under the General''s doubtful gaze, Upir trembled for a second before falling to his knees, his whole body sweating in a ck liquid. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Oh?" Minos recognized the liquid as it left the creature''s pores.
But when the liquid left the undead''s body, nothing happened to Upir. He remained at the same level, with the same body structure, ck eyes and bones, and the same level of vitality.
With a wave of his right hand, Minos collected the essence that left Upir''s body, collecting the equivalent of a quarter of what they had used on the corpse.
"This ''sweat'' is basically the same essence we used." Minos said to his colleagues.
Abby added, "I feel I can remove more of this fluid from him. But I would have to focus my ability on just him and use almost all of my power. But I believe that if I do, I will remove all the influence of the ck liquid from him."
After she spoke, Upir said to her in a different tone than before. "Please, remove this essence from me. I feel that the desire I described to you has been greatly diminished because of what you''ve just done."
"Can you get all the ck liquid out of him? Will he stay in that state if we do?" the General asked her.
"Perhaps. We won''t know for sure until we test it." She was not so sure that what he was asking would happen.
"By the way, can we reuse the fluid that came out of his body?" The General continued, wondering about the implications of this reaction.
"I don''t know. We''ll have to experiment with others. But at least from my point of view, this drop looks exactly like the one I used on Upir." She looked at the drop Minos had collected.
Minos agreed with her by storing it in a different device than the one containing the liquid they had received from the Commander. "I feel the same way. But we''ll test itter. If it''s possible to use the liquid to strengthen the corpses and then remove them with Abby''s ability and reuse them, it could be a discovery that could revolutionize Oqia!"
The General agreed, feeling the same as these two, but curious to see the results of the experiments.
Then, as Minos moved his energy towards the Hydras'' Amulet, his and Abby''s auras strengthened, keeping their cultivation at the peak of levels 112 and 108.
"Abby, let''s speed up the experiment a bit. Save two-thirds of the liquid the Commander gave us for the two scenarios we''ll investigateter. We''ll use the rest of the ck liquid to test if we can continuously sensitize someone like Upir."
"Isn''t that risky? What if it goes wrong and we waste so much of the ck liquid? We still don''t know if we can reuse the liquidter." the General voiced his views as he looked at Minos and Abby, wishing they would be more careful.
Minos started, "It doesn''t matter. We didn''t expect the liquid to be reusable in the first ce. If it turns out to be, that''s just a bonus. If it doesn''t, we''re in the same situation we were before this test."
Minos looked at the General and continued, "What really matters here is the potential to extend the vitality using the ck liquid and the possibility that it can strengthen the dead.
If Upir achieves a vitality that allows him to live outside the ck coffin for a few months, we''ll be able to get a better idea of his ability to cultivate and process spiritual resources."
One could meditate for just a few minutes and see results. But with the corpse, they would need several tests, with and without resources, to discover the limits of a corpse in the same circumstances as Upir.
To do good enough experiments, they would need their corpses tost at least a few weeks.
But Minos epted the General''s caution and took a step back. "Let''s divide the portion I mentioned between Upir and another corpse that we''ll testter. If we get simr results with two corpses, it''s possible that the same will be repeated with everyone we test."
The ideal would be to have a muchrger experimental group. Unfortunately, they didn''t have the ck liquid for many guinea pigs. So they would have to assume things from the few they experimented on.
Abby agreed with her husband and did as he suggested, dividing the liquid they would use in this phase of the experiments into two parts before dividing the part they would use on Upir into three more or less equal volumes.
"Let''s test one at a time." She said as she directed the first of the three extra drops they would use on Upir.
