Chapter 7

【You have occupied this mist zone】

【Root Flesh Hive is assimilating — Secret Steel Stone】

【Converted 0.1 units of Secret Steel Stone, Flesh +1000】

【Current assimilation rate: 0.1 Secret Steel Stone/min】

"This, Secret Steel Stone can also be assimilated?"

This is one of the hardest substances in this world, ranking among the very top.

And, the most special thing is—

Not only physical damage, even arcane damage, elemental damage—

—also has a hard time taking effect on Secret Steel Stone.

Even strong acid cannot corrode it.

This is the most natural resistance material.

But now, his own territory was actually assimilating this Secret Steel Stone?

And it could even be converted into resources?

"0.1 units of Secret Steel Stone can be converted into 1000 units of Flesh."

1 unit of Secret Steel Stone can be directly converted into 10000 units of Flesh?

Lu Cang looked toward his own backpack.

Inside the storage space, there were still some miscellaneous items Lu Cang had just collected while exploring the terrain.

Some odds and ends he had gathered back.

【Camphor Wood: 10 units】

【Stone Material: 5 units】

【Natural Water: 3 units】

"Wonder how much material converting these things will yield."

Lu Cang took out the wood.

1 unit of wood is roughly a log one person tall and one person thick.

Put plainly, it's one cubic.

In this world, every 1 unit is 1 cubic.

But the smallest unit is not 1.

Rather, it can be subdivided infinitely downward.

There are also 0.00001 units of natural water.

Because it's his own item—

—he doesn't need much effort to manipulate it.

Lu Cang placed it above the egg sac.

Very quickly, this piece of wood, as if sinking into a swamp, merged into the flesh.

【Devoured Camphor Wood: 1 unit, Converted Flesh: 10 units】

"1 unit of camphor wood only converts into 10 units of Flesh?"

Afterwards, Lu Cang used the same method to feed in the stone material and natural water.

The stone material converted into 12 points of Flesh.

While the natural water was 0.5 points.

Based on the rarity of the materials—

Lu Cang roughly judged that the conversion efficiency of Flesh is related to rarity.

【Secret Steel Stone】 itself is an extremely rare material.

Therefore, the conversion rate is also terrifyingly high.

Hmm…

Extremely rare.

Lu Cang raised his head, looking at the ceiling of this cave.

This massive mountain.

This mountain was so vast that just standing here, Lu Cang couldn't see the whole of it.

He could only roughly estimate that he was currently on the western side of the mountain.

As for the other side of the mountain—

—Lu Cang currently had absolutely no way to get over there.

This was an entire mountain body of Secret Steel Stone.

For him, this could practically be called a treasure mountain!

A short 10 minutes passed.

【You have successfully collected 10000 Flesh】

【Evolve Root Flesh Hive?】

"Already saved up enough for the upgrade condition?"

"Evolve."

Puchi—

He only saw the egg sac burst open.

From within the egg sac, a complete brain hatched out.

【Current Stage: Stage Two — You have unlocked: Root Brain】.
