Chapter 1595: Unknown Consciousness

Although Su Xiao didn't know whether Amu's situation was good or bad, one thing was certain: if he didn't help Amu replenish its ice energy, it wouldn't be long before it started 'gnawing on itself'. Amu was fierce enough; when hungry, it even wanted to swallow its own core array.

"Moo~"

The red light in Amu's eyes became increasingly intense. Su Xiao took out several low-grade alchemy materials. These materials had one common characteristic: they were ice-attribute or cold-leaning.

Seeing the materials Su Xiao took out, Amu, lying on the ground, swallowed its saliva, wanting to eat but not daring to snatch.

Sensing that Amu wouldn't completely lose its reason for the time being, Su Xiao sat up and handed the several materials in his hand to Amu. Amu swallowed the several ice-attribute materials in two or three bites. Looking at that expression, it was clearly still wanting more, but the red light in its eyes faded rapidly.

In less than ten minutes, two pieces of Light Gold-quality equipment and one bottle of Gold-quality potion appeared in the team storage space.

Su Xiao tentatively handed a long sword named 【Batken】 to Amu. This long sword looked like it was forged from ice, with wisps of cold air rising.

Amu took the long sword and bit the blade with a *crack*. With the strength of Light Gold-quality equipment, Amu's mouthful of flat teeth would likely shatter eight or nine times out of ten. The actual situation was shocking: ice-blue light surged on Amu's teeth, and it bit the long sword into pieces in one bite.

In no more than three bites, Amu chewed up the 【Batken】 long sword.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Su Xiao's eyes twitched, and he took out another piece of ice-attribute equipment. This time it was a ring. The result was predictable: Amu didn't even chew, directly throwing the ice-blue ring into its mouth.

A few minutes later, Su Xiao took out another bottle of ice-attribute buff potion. Amu drank it like orange juice in one gulp, and incidentally chewed the crystal bottle containing the potion.

Nearly 250,000 Paradise Coins worth of ice-attribute items were eaten clean by Amu in less than 5 minutes. This made Su Xiao think that the equipment or props bought with 800,000 Paradise Coins might not be able to 'fill' Amu's stomach.

Discovering this, Su Xiao immediately contacted Reed and had a remote call with him.

"What's the matter?"

Laughter of women came from Reed's side. This old guy wasn't a good person and often went to enjoy himself in the Reincarnation Paradise.

"If you need ice-attribute energy, what method is the most efficient?"

"Ice-attribute energy?"

In an old European-style tavern, Reed waved his hand, and the two mature women beside him stopped laughing.

"If it's ice-attribute energy, that hammer you took away last time is the best choice. That thing can form a self-circulation with the environment. How much ice energy do you..."

Before Reed finished speaking, Su Xiao interrupted him.

"It's been eaten."

"Eaten? Eaten?"

The always calm Reed's voice changed. That war hammer was forged by him and used to suppress some kind of consciousness within the Shia Temple.

"How did it eat it? Detail it. Devour? Fuse? Absorb?"

"About seven bites, eaten clean..."

"Are you raising an equipment decomposition machine!"

"Let's not talk about these for now. If you need ice energy, give a suggestion."

The reason Su Xiao contacted Reed was very simple. Buying ice-attribute equipment could only solve the urgent need. With Amu's appetite, even if he gave it a few Legendary-grade ice-attribute equipment, it might not be 'full'.

"Let me think."

Reed pondered for a moment and quickly came up with a way.

"Phantom Light Ore, have you heard of it?"

"Heard of it. That thing... is it feasible?"

"Of course. That hammer was forged from Phantom Light Ore. About how much do you need?" 【

Reed hiccuped while speaking; from his tone, one could tell he wasn't drunk yet.

"Need a lot."

"Give me half an hour, deduct the cost from those Legend Medals."

"No problem."

Su Xiao hung up the call and contacted Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Benny, telling them to stop purchasing equipment or items and instead buy ice-attribute ores or crystals. Now that Amu was accepting everything, he could eat anything as long as it was ice-attribute energy.

Tossing a bottle of ice-attribute potion to Amu, Su Xiao began waiting for news from Reed's side. In such a short time, only a master blacksmith like Reed could manage to acquire a large amount of Phantom Light Ore.

Not long after, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Benny returned to the exclusive room. Dozens of ice-attribute ores and crystals were placed on the floor, and now Amu could eat to his heart's content.

Su Xiao had never been able to figure out the changes inside Amu's body; that purple crystal from the Dark Crow World was likely the culprit behind Amu's crazed consumption of ice-attribute energy.

From the perspective of alchemy, Amu's current situation was very unscientific because he was transforming into a biological entity. Alice of the Demon Castle had tried countless times to make the Wolf Butler transform in this direction, but unfortunately, all had failed.

Su Xiao did not believe his alchemy was superior to Alice's, so the problem must lie with the Xiya Temple, the Land of Death, the Ice War Hammer, or the purple crystal. Su Xiao couldn't figure out which specific link it was for the time being, but one thing was certain: Amu's transformation into a biological entity was not abrupt.

Before this, Amu's body had already been filled with ice energy, forming an internal cycle with the Ice War Hammer. The ice energy was equivalent to his blood; even then, Amu could already be considered something between a pseudo-biological and an alchemical creature.

Right now, Amu was transforming toward a biological state. Whether he would explode and die or successfully transform into a biological entity once he ingested enough ice energy remained unknown for now.

Actually, Su Xiao had overlooked one point: there was an essential difference between Amu and the Wolf Butler. The Wolf Butler's core array was trash, and the materials for that array held extraordinary significance for Alice.

Amu, on the other hand, was gradually being updated. If the internal materials of his core array were overloaded, Su Xiao would immediately replace them with higher-grade materials; after all, his strength was growing, and the grade of materials he could access was getting higher and higher.

If the Wolf Butler was like jumping from scrap iron directly to titanium alloy, then Amu was being gradually upgraded. The situations of the two were naturally very different. More importantly, the thing the Ice War Hammer had once suppressed was terrifying; it was something the Shadow of Law brought back from the Void.

Long-term suppression caused the Ice War Hammer to absorb the aura of that consciousness, and Amu had formed an internal cycle with the Ice War Hammer. Over time, his body fused with the power of that unknown consciousness, which was the main reason for Amu's current changes.

The circumstances involved were too complex; Su Xiao was not Sherlock Holmes reincarnated, so naturally, he couldn't deduce the connections.

While Su Xiao was deep in thought, Reed contacted him, asking for temporary access permission. Su Xiao was just about to grant Reed temporary access to the exclusive room when he suddenly thought of the Black Maple Tree in the corner.

Although Su Xiao and Reed were collaborators, one must always be on guard. The Black Maple Tree was of great importance; there were only two or three such trees in the entire Void.

Signaling Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to move the Black Maple Tree into the laboratory, Su Xiao granted Reed temporary access to the exclusive room.

As soon as Reed entered the exclusive room, his drunken eyes widened in surprise. The room was filled with cats and dogs, and there was a Tauren sitting on the floor. At first glance, he thought he had entered a zoo.

"Got the stuff, cost about 20 Legend Medals."

Reed waved his hand while speaking, and a large amount of ice-blue ore appeared in the exclusive room, nearly filling half the living room. Amu lunged forward, swallowing fist-sized chunks of Phantom Light Ore in one bite, and the cold air gradually spread with him as the center.
