About three hours later, the energy device suddenly stopped running, and the Hell Demon Creature Construction Device ceased emitting the blood‑red mist.

Translation: After about three hours, the energy device suddenly stopped running, and the Hell Demon Creature Construction Device ceased spraying the blood-red mist.

After about ten seconds of brief calm, a chunk of dark red flesh on the pillar suddenly swelled violently, growing into an irregular mass roughly five meters in size, which broke off from the device and crashed heavily to the ground.

Translation: After a brief silence of about ten seconds, a piece of dark red flesh on the pillar suddenly swelled violently, becoming an irregular mass roughly five meters in length, width, and height, detached from the device's surface, and slammed heavily onto the ground.

Immediately after that.

A puddle of dark red flesh ooze emerged from it and appeared before Su Hao's eyes.

Translation: A pool of dark red meat paste oozed out, appearing before Su Hao's eyes.

This puddle of flesh ooze contained a powerful vitality, spread flat on the ground with a diameter of about three meters, and was uniformly dark red.

Translation: This meat paste contained a powerful vitality, spread flat on the ground with a diameter of about three meters, uniformly dark red.

Its surface was uneven, like countless small flesh lumps randomly piled together, and it twitched slightly; bubbles occasionally appeared on the ooze's surface and quickly vanished, as if it were alive.

Translation: Its surface was uneven, like countless small meat chunks irregularly piled together, and it faintly writhed; bubbles occasionally appeared on the meat paste's surface and quickly vanished, as if it were alive.

"What is this thing?"

Translation: "What the heck is this?"

Looking at the puddle of flesh ooze before him, Su Hao was momentarily speechless; although its aura was just as strong as that of a non‑ordinary second‑tier creature, its appearance…

Translation: Looking at the meat paste before him, Su Hao felt momentarily speechless; although its aura was just as strong, not that of an ordinary second-tier species, its appearance…

Although the puddle of flesh ooze looked somewhat disgusting and contained tremendous energy, emitting a powerful aura that clearly showed it was not a mundane creature, it was definitely not an ordinary second‑tier species.

Translation: Although the meat paste looked somewhat disgusting and contained tremendous energy within, emitting a powerful aura that clearly marked it as non-mundane, it was definitely not an ordinary second-tier species.

However, once the puddle of flesh ooze appeared, it lay motionless on the ground, seemingly lacking any ability to move, causing Su Hao to doubt whether it possessed any combat capability…

Translation: However, since its appearance, the meat paste has lain motionless on the ground, seemingly lacking any ability to move, leading Su Hao to truly doubt whether it possesses any combat capability…

Afterward, Su Hao stopped pondering, slightly shifted his thoughts, and opened the information panel for this puddle of flesh ooze.

Skill: Weapon Attachment Introduction – Using third‑tier Hell Demon Creature adhesive and crafted by the Hell Demon Creature Construction Device, this special Hell Demon Creature can attach to any weapon of supernatural rank not exceeding third tier.

Translation: Skill: Weapon Attachment Introduction: Using the Third-Tier Hell Demon Creature adhesive and produced by the Hell Demon Creature Construction Device, this special Hell Demon Creature can attach to any weapon of Supernatural Grade not exceeding Third Tier.

……

Translation: ……

Su Hao looked at the information displayed on the panel, furrowed his brow slightly, and found the description of the biological weapon somewhat puzzling.

Translation: Su Hao looked at the content displayed on the information panel, his brows slightly furrowed, finding the introduction of the Biological Weapon somewhat puzzling.

Literally understood, the so‑called biological weapon seems to allow attachment to a weapon, causing some kind of change.

Translation: Literally understood, this entity called the Biological Weapon seems able to attach to a weapon, causing some kind of change.

Perhaps after attaching to a weapon, this flesh ooze could increase the weapon's power or grant it special effects; maybe it could manifest different abilities depending on the weapon it attaches to. However, the exact effects are not detailed on the information panel, and Su Hao remains unclear about them.

Translation: Perhaps after the meat paste attaches to a weapon, it could increase the weapon's power or grant it special effects; perhaps it could manifest different abilities depending on the weapon it attaches to—but the specific effects are not detailed on the information panel, and Su Hao is still unclear.

Immediately, his thoughts shifted slightly, and he opened the detailed panel for this skill.

Translation: Immediately, his thoughts shifted slightly, and he opened the detailed panel for this skill.

【Weapon Attachment】

Translation: 【Weapon Attachment】

Effect: The Hell Demon Creature – Biological Weapon, when attached to any weapon, significantly boosts the weapon's power, raising its supernatural rank to at least third‑tier level.

Translation: Effect: The Hell Demon Creature—Biological Weapon attached to any weapon significantly boosts the weapon's power, at least raising its Supernatural Grade to Third Tier level.

If the weapon already possesses third‑tier rank, its power will be further increased.

Translation: If the attached weapon itself has already reached Third Tier, its power will be further increased.

After attachment, the weapon not only gains a large increase in attack power but also acquires the ability to absorb external energy for self‑repair.

Translation: After attachment, the weapon not only gains greatly increased attack power but also acquires the ability to self-repair by absorbing external energy.

The attached weapon will possess a degree of self‑awareness, making it easier and more flexible to control.

Translation: The weapon after attachment will possess a certain self-awareness, making it easier and more flexible to control.

Furthermore, the user can link their consciousness with the biological weapon to achieve tighter control, allowing them to unleash combat power far beyond normal levels in battle.

Translation: Furthermore, the user can link their consciousness with the Biological Weapon to achieve tighter control, thereby unleashing combat power far beyond normal in battle.

……

Translation: ……

"Flesh attachment? So that means it really is a biological weapon……"

Translation: "Flesh attachment? So it really is a Biological Weapon..."

Looking at the information shown on the skill detail panel, a glint of insight flashed in Su Hao's eyes.

Translation: Looking at the content displayed on the skill detail panel, a glint of sharpness flashed in Su Hao's eyes.

If weapon attachment via this skill can truly boost weapon power and grant self‑awareness, it would undoubtedly greatly increase the combat strength of all warriors in the territory.

Translation: If weapon attachment via this skill can truly enhance weapon power and self-awareness, it would undoubtedly greatly increase the combat strength of all warriors in the territory.

Moreover, after a weapon has been bonded with the biological weapon, he can also absorb external energy to repair both himself and the attached weapon.

Translation: Moreover, weapons that have been attached by the Biological Weapon can also absorb external energy to repair themselves and the weapons they are attached to.

This means that in future battles, the wear‑and‑tear rate of weapons within the territory will drop sharply, saving a large amount of material.

Translation: This means that in future battles, the wear-and-tear rate of weapons within the territory will be greatly reduced, saving a large amount of materials.

However, the exact changes that occur after attachment still need to be determined through testing.

Translation: However, the exact changes that occur after attachment must be determined through experimentation.

Afterward, Su Hao summoned a pale skeleton warrior and took a bone knife from its hand.

Translation: Subsequently, Su Hao summoned a Pale Skeleton Warrior and took a bone dagger from its hand.

Although the pale skeleton warrior itself is of third‑tier supernatural rank, the weapon it wields is only second‑tier.

Translation: Although the Pale Skeleton Warrior's Supernatural Grade reached Third Tier, the weapons they wield were only Supernatural Grade Second Tier.

However, it was sufficient for the experiment.

Translation: However, for testing purposes, it was barely sufficient.

Su Hao lifted the bone knife and plunged it into the puddle of flesh ooze on the ground.

Translation: Su Hao lifted the bone dagger and inserted it into the meat paste on the ground.

The next moment.

Translation: The next moment.

The flesh ooze, as if alive, slowly writhed and wrapped around the blade of the sword.

Translation: The meat paste, as if alive, slowly writhed and wrapped around the blade of the long sword.

As the flesh ooze attached, the bone knife's surface gradually gained a layer of dark red, irregularly writhing material that looked somewhat disgusting, as if it had been given new life.

Translation: As the meat paste attached, the bone dagger's surface gradually gained a layer of dark red, irregularly writhing flesh that looked somewhat disgusting, as if endowed with new life.

Soon after, the bone knife was completely enveloped by the flesh ooze, its shape changing somewhat; most of the blade's surface was covered in dark red flesh, leaving only an increasingly sharp edge exposed. Su Hao could clearly feel that the sword's power had far surpassed its previous level, now reaching third‑tier supernatural rank.

Translation: Soon, the bone dagger was completely enveloped by the meat paste, its shape changing somewhat; most of the blade's surface was covered in dark red flesh, exposing only an increasingly sharp edge. Su Hao could clearly feel that the long sword's power now far surpassed before, having reached the Supernatural Grade Third Tier level.

【Pale Bone Sword · Monster Attachment】

Translation: 【Pale Bone Dagger·Monster Attachment】

Supernatural Grade: 2+1 stage

……

Based on the appraisal results shown, Su Hao confirmed that this bone dagger had reached the level of Supernatural Grade Third Tier.

To ensure the test's rigor, Su Hao took out a piece of Supernatural Grade Third Tier silver alloy and struck it forcefully.

Only a dark red blade flash was seen, and that piece of Supernatural Grade Third Tier silver alloy was easily split open with a deep crack.

Su Hao nodded in satisfaction; the bone dagger, after the demon creature's attachment, had its sharpness greatly increased compared to before.

Besides the Supernatural Grade increase, the weapon after attachment also possesses self-repair ability.

Afterwards, Su Hao punched the blade, causing it to develop dense fine cracks.

But soon after, the flesh mud on the blade, by absorbing free energy from the air, made those cracks disappear.

Such a repair speed is practically terrifying; as long as one is not in battle and encounters an enemy stronger than Third Tier, there is basically no need to worry about weapon damage.

If combat personnel could also be equipped with one or two energy crystals, even if the bone dagger shattered into fragments, it would likely complete self-repair in a short time.

Finally, Su Hao slightly moved his thoughts, attempting to communicate with the flesh mud on the bone dagger.

As his mental power entered the flesh mud, he established contact with it, gaining an extra field of vision in his mind.

Mastery of the long blade in his hand became easier; with just a thought, he could make the corresponding response.

With this ability, even someone completely ignorant of swords, an outer sect novice, could become a sword master.

After these experiments, Su Hao was very satisfied with the Hell Demon Creature—biological weapon.

Although the biological weapon itself has no combat capability, once attached to a weapon it can produce an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Afterwards, Su Hao took out the Gravity Rock Axe, wanting to see what changes would occur if a Supernatural Grade Fourth Tier weapon were attached with the biological weapon.

However, just as he prepared to remove the flesh mud from the long sword, he unexpectedly discovered that the flesh mud seemed to have completely fused with the long sword.

Whether using mental power to guide it or other methods, this clump of flesh mud clung tightly to the sword blade with no sign of loosening, making it impossible to separate from the long sword.

This made Su Hao frown slightly; could it be that a clump of biological weapon can only attach to a single weapon? Once attached, it cannot be undone?

However, Su Hao did not feel discouraged; if it cannot be undone, just keep making more—after all, biological weapons are meant to strengthen the territory's army, and one or two are far from enough, requiring mass production.

This time, besides a few samples reserved for replication, Su Hao dumped all other materials into the Hell Demon Creature construction device, starting a new round of mass production.

During this process, Su Hao suddenly had an inspiration, perhaps……

The greatest value of these biological weapons is not in attaching them to weapons, but……

Using them to attach to armor might form a special biological armor.

Usually, armor is more important than weapons; a piece of armor with excellent defense can greatly increase soldiers' safety.

If this armor were attached with a biological weapon, the resulting biological armor would not only significantly boost the wearer's defense but also likely possess self-repair ability, basically eliminating worries about damage.

Moreover, since the biological weapon possesses a certain self-awareness, it might also enable the wearer to perform more varied bodily movements, even slightly enhancing their physique.

If this armor itself were a mechanical armor……

Thinking of this, Su Hao's heartbeat quickened a bit; he immediately called Ling'er and asked: "Ling'er, can you use the machinery vehicle manufacturing factory or the energy weapon manufacturing device to produce a set of armor with mechanical power?"

"Hmm… that probably won't work; the machinery vehicle manufacturing factory is for making vehicles, and the energy weapon manufacturing device is for making weapons, neither can produce powered armor."

"Oh…"

Hearing that, Su Hao felt a bit disappointed; making powered armor had been his idea for a long time, but unfortunately those two devices cannot produce it, so there is nothing else in the territory that can do so.

Ling'er fell silent for a moment, then said somewhat unconfidently:

"Father, powered armor cannot be made, but……"

"I tried using the machinery vehicle manufacturing factory to design a giant robot with only vehicle functionality."

"Then, using the energy weapon manufacturing device, I would produce the corresponding weapons, if Father needs them."

"Very well, I'll leave this to you."

Su Hao instantly rejoiced; if there were Gundams, who would need powered armor? However, even if Ling'er could design a Gundam, actually producing it would be no easy feat, requiring massive amounts of materials and substantial energy for daily operation.

Achieving mass production in a short time is a realistic goal.

But just then, Su Hao thought of an alternative to powered armor.

If mechanical devices cannot produce powered armor, then forge a Supernatural Grade armor and attach the biological weapon to it.

Coincidentally, Su Hao still had a large number of forging books on hand.

Soon, Su Hao found many armor forging methods; the most numerous were for First Rank, which he directly ruled out.

Although after the biological weapon attaches, even a First Rank armor can exhibit the effect of Supernatural Grade Third Tier.

However, the higher the Supernatural Grade of the attached armor, the stronger the effect remains, even if the result is still Supernatural Grade Third Tier.

Next is Supernatural Grade Second Tier, which is also Su Hao's main goal; as for Supernatural Grade Third Tier, he doesn't even consider it, estimating that the dwarves' physique would need to reach Third Tier before they could forge Third Tier armor.

Even Supernatural Grade Second Tier armor cannot be forged by the dwarves, whose physique falls short of First Tier.

Left with no choice, Su Hao contacted Tie Geda to familiarize them with the forging process for Second Tier armor, so that future forging would be more smooth and easy.

Furthermore, he promised to quickly provide them with Blazing Flame Dragon Fruit and Purple Gold Coiling Dragon Bamboo to enhance their physique.

During this call, Tie Geda also informed them that their Dwarf King had set out, using a special means of transport, expected to arrive in three days.

Su Hao replied that he would visit in three days.

After hanging up, Su Hao continued to produce biological weapons.
