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 loomed 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three hundred meters, even though the Radiance of the Lamp Tree from the Nine-Snake Mother Tree had been temporarily withdrawn, one could still vaguely see the staggered silhouettes of grand buildings, like ghostly towers.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 time,”
Said Zhu Xiong, his voice laced with worry as he watched the dissipating fog. The last time 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 come 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 time 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 meters high for now. Regarding monster activity that we’ve observed, they seem to have settled in colonies, but there’s still movement,”
Zhu Xiong relayed all the information gathered by the search teams to Su Han.
“Report to Meiyu, 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-meter walls, and then raise the height of the walls,”
Zhu Xiong’s face became stern as he replied, “Okay, I’m on it.”
With Su Han’s orders as their signal, the battle commenced. 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 metal there. Compressing and reinforcing it turned into 1.3 million tons of strengthened alloy, which streamed non-stop into the Tree Domain foundry to make equipment.
Zhu Xiong conveyed the order, and the three squad leaders – himself, Gan Xinglei, Guo Gang – along with Ye Kailing’s Sky Cavalry Squad, were immediately 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 some preparations.
The sudden fog undoubtedly disrupted some of his arrangements. 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 time 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 extradimensional spaces appeared, and huge numbers of extradimensional 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 extradimensional 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 extradimensional rifts is constantly spawning monsters.
Be it Gray Inferior Demons or Corpse Ghosts, and sometimes even Second Order monsters would emerge directly.
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 extradimensional 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, mercilessly 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 meant 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 advancement: 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 became longer, its four claws sharpened and turned more vicious, and the blood wings on its back seemed 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 fearsome 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 movement, and a smile appeared on his face; the advancement of the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon was certainly great news.
The skill Blood Spring had even jumped two levels to reach LV4, which meant 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 fearsome – 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 time, 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.
