Chapter 241: Chapter 223 Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon
The dense fog that had shrouded the entire city like a curtain was now receding like the tide, and the buildings that had lood indistinctly in the mist were gradually becoming clearer.
Looking out from the tall walls of the Tree Domain, within a range of nearly three hundred ters, even though the Radiance of the Lamp Tree from the Nine-Snake Mother Tree had been temporarily withdrawn, one could still vaguely see the staggered silhouettes of grand buildings, like ghostly towers.
“The fog has lifted overnight all of a sudden, much faster than last ti,”
Said Zhu Xiong, his voice laced with worry as he watched the dissipating fog. The last ti the fog had lifted, they had left Happiness Community and fled to Shanhu Villa District.
After the fog receded, the agitation of the monsters would decrease significantly, but they all knew now that the fog was related to the tides of Spiritual Energy. If it receded like this, would the next tide co even more fiercely?
Su Han’s expression was serious as he asked, “What’s the situation in the third ring area now?”
“We discovered the fog was receding suddenly. The search team is prioritizing stability, and for the ti being, we’ve maintained control over the transit center and the front line of the second ring. The wall control has extended to the side of the transit center. We are still two-thirds short of enclosing the entire north city area, and the wall is only ten ters high for now. Regarding monster activity that we’ve observed, they seem to have settled in colonies, but there’s still movent,”
Zhu Xiong relayed all the information gathered by the search teams to Su Han.
“Report to iyu, then arm up and start clearing with full force. Focus on the monster colonies and take control of the entire northern city sector. Don’t skimp on ammunition,”
Su Han’s eyes revealed a resolute look. He couldn’t control the tides of fog, so he was determined to bolster his camp before the storm hit and fortify it as impregnable as a fortress.
“Tell the construction team to hurry up and finish the ten-ter walls, and then raise the height of the walls,”
Zhu Xiong’s face beca stern as he replied, “Okay, I’m on it.”
With Su Han’s orders as their signal, the battle comnced. Rifles had been continuously produced over the past few days, accumulating nearly two thousand in reserve. There were slightly fewer bullets, around thirty thousand, but that was enough to clear a lot of monsters.
In the Tree Domain Troops, it wasn’t just the spiritual energy rifles that represented formidable combat power; there were also the fully armored Contractors and Angel Envoys.
After plundering the Steel Transit Center, the Scorpion Spider Demon controlled most of the tal there. Compressing and reinforcing it turned into 1.3 million tons of strengthened alloy, which stread non-stop into the Tree Domain foundry to make equipnt.
Zhu Xiong conveyed the order, and the three squad leaders – himself, Gan Xinglei, Guo Gang – along with Ye Kailing’s Sky Cavalry Squad, were imdiately thrown into battle.
As the large force moved out, the clashing of their armor rang out crisply. Su Han watched the troops, his gaze flickering, but his mind couldn’t help thinking that they needed to make so preparations.
The sudden fog undoubtedly disrupted so of his arrangents. The slow clearing process had to be accelerated, then more efforts could be invested into the sudden change caused by the dissipation of the fog.
The first ti the fog descended, it turned the whole world into this ghastly place, and that terrible one-eyed monster appeared.
The second tidal fog, although less shocking than the first, still brought significant changes.
Cracks from extradinsional spaces appeared, and huge numbers of extradinsional monsters gushed out. Just in South City alone, three such rifts had opened, each unleashing tens of thousands of monsters.
If he and the South City camp hadn’t happened to block these extradinsional rifts, South City would now be overrun by no less than a hundred thousand more monsters.
Even to this day, the spiritual energy blood sea within the extradinsional rifts is constantly spawning monsters.
Be it Gray Inferior Demons or Corpse Ghosts, and sotis even Second Order monsters would erge directly.
Without the suppressing forces stationed there, the area around the extradinsional rift would inevitably beco a quagmire lethal to human life.
Not to ntion, these rifts revealed a corner of that otherworldly realm.
Who knows what horrors the third tidal wave will bring.
It wasn’t just Zhu Xiong and the others who were dispatched to battle. Xia Ning, currently rotated to guard the extradinsional rift, was also instructed to heighten alertness.
In front of the towering Nine-Snake Mother Tree on Su Han’s side, the great tree stood tall over the streets. Its twisting vines extended outwards, covering the entire street, while its roots spread across the ground.
As the Nine-Snake Mother Tree grew stronger, the enveloping vines beca increasingly terrifying, evoking an unavoidable sense of fear in people’s hearts.
This ti, as Zhu Xiong, Gan Xinglei, and the others made a massive push forward, Su Han had no intention of training troops. The Nine-Snake Mother Tree would inevitably participate, using its vines that gradually spread through the third ring area to cut and isolate the battlefield.
He had co here not to give orders, but to prepare for the Mother Nest Ancient Tree to assimilate the stored spiritual energy ore.
The production of bullets and the manufacturing of enhancer and injector potions now more or less required spiritual energy ore or Crystal Mine Fruits.
Especially for spiritual energy bullets, producing about 300 bullets required the consumption of one Crystal Mine Fruit.
At a conversion rate of 1:300, it seed like the consumption wasn’t much. Indeed, one Crystal Mine Fruit might result in the deaths of a hundred or two monsters—a very outstanding conversion rate.
However, the availability of Crystal Mine Fruits was limited. The number produced each day ranged between 20 and 50. If the Nine-Snake Mother Tree was involved in combat or extensively cultivating its offspring, this production rate would decrease.
Furthermore, with the competing usage for enhancer and injector potions, a shortage was naturally looming.
Monsters were only going to increase in number, personnel strength rose, and the efficiency of using spiritual rifles improved.
Su Han naturally wouldn’t be unprepared, so he had to fuse this aspect of his ability first.
Over three hundred spiritual energy crystals were taken out as the tendrils of the Nine-Snake Mother Tree slowly crept over, wrapping around each pale purple crystal and pulling them in.
The over three hundred spiritual energy crystals represented Su Han’s entire reserve. After days of accumulation and so expended in experints, this was all that remained.
[Discovered fusable material: spiritual energy crystals. Would you like to fuse?]
Fusion
With the command given, the Nine-Snake Mother Tree began to fuse the spiritual energy crystals as they slowly vanished under the contact of the fine threads.
While the Nine-Snake Mother Tree slowly fused, Su Han’s gaze then fell upon the huge tree pit beside him.
The tree pit had beco a pit that truly lived up to its na, spanning beneath the vast street, transforming into a massive hole.
About a hundred ters in diater and equally as deep, tendrils and roots dominated the bottom of the pit, forming a thick layer, while the surroundings of the pit were fortified with rock walls by the Black Rock Tree Monster. There were over a hundred side holes ranging from one ter to over ten ters in diater, allowing for the movent of vines and roots.
This transformation was naturally to accommodate more monster flesh and blood, to provide blood food for Su Han’s three Angel Envoys and so of the evolved kinds raised in the camp.
Su Han stood at the edge of the Blood Hole, and even at a hundred ters away from the pit bottom, the heavy stench of blood still wafted up.
Below in the tree pit, a glance revealed a mountainous, densely packed pile of monster corpses, varying in form and size, numbering over ten thousand.
These were the spoils of the search teams, the stationed extradinsional rift troops, and the scattered Parasitic Corpse Willows.
Nearly every day, monsters that were killed were transported to the designated corpse accumulation areas and then carried back by the tendrils of the Nine-Snake Mother Tree or the Tree-born Worms.
Atop this mountain of corpses and sea of blood, a colossal figure was lying, with massive amounts of blood strands spread across the monster flesh, rcilessly fusing.
Fusion Degree of Blood Curse Worm: 96%
After fusing for several days, the difficulty of fusing the Third Grade Superior Blood Curse Worm turned out to be much more challenging than Su Han had expected.
Just the fusion of its massive body had already taken two to three days.
Once the body was fused, the Blood-winged Alligator Dragon then moved into the tree pit to fuse other monster flesh as lower-grade material for the transformation.
And this fusion lasted another two to three days. The tree pit, which was originally ant to hold tens of thousands of monster corpses, was now left with this much.
However, fortunately, the progress was smooth.
Su Han watched the Blood-winged Alligator Dragon slowly fuse, its aura growing stronger and stronger, as his gaze gradually concentrated on it.
An entire morning passed, and finally, the fusion progress steadily increased, eventually completing.
[Blood Curse Worm 100% fusion successful. Blood-winged Alligator Dragon has advanced in form: Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon. Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon has acquired skill: LV1 Blood Erosion Body, skill advancent: LV4 Blood Spring]
Terrifying vital energy erupted from the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon. Amidst the spreading red glow, the body of the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon underwent changes.
Covered in blood-red, blood ran across the surface of its body, forming living scales of blood, its neck elongated and beca longer, its four claws sharpened and turned more vicious, and the blood wings on its back seed to be made of blood itself, constantly shifting between liquid and solid states, with two smaller pairs of secondary wings sprouting beneath the main wings.
“Roar”
The Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon soared into the sky, flying up from the tree pit like a streak of blood, and then imposingly landed in front of Su Han, bowing its fearso and terrifying head.
Compared to the Blood-winged Alligator Dragon, the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon was undoubtedly much colder, but its strength had also greatly increased, undoubtedly a Third Grade Superior level entity no weaker than the Scorpion Spider Demon.
Su Han’s eyes showed a hint of movent, and a smile appeared on his face; the advancent of the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon was certainly great news.
The skill Blood Spring had even jumped two levels to reach LV4, which ant that the surging blood river that enveloped the battlefield in future combat would be even more terrifying.
Besides that, Su Han was even more satisfied with the Blood Erosion Body.
“With a body like blood, the blood never running dry, the form never dies. Coupled with the Blood Spring, compared to the regenerative ability, this skill is fearso – possessing the additional Blood Erosion capability and effective against monsters’ unique skills?”
Su Han sensed the skill, realizing that the Blood Erosion Body was clearly the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon’s inherent ability and was obviously a transformation from the capabilities of the Blood Curse Insect.
If the Blood Curse Insect hadn’t encountered the Scorpion Spider Demon at that ti, its nearly immortal regenerative ability would have made it almost invincible, enabling it to flee from danger.
Now, the Blood Erosion Body evidently possessed a similar power and also added the trait of blood erosion which was no trivial ability, excellent for slaughtering groups.
