Chapter 240

Because more materials were invested this time, refining took longer, and it took over ten hours to complete this refining.

As chunks of flesh fell from the hellish demon construct device, over a hundred pools of meat slurry appeared on the laboratory floor.

Su Hao's thoughts stirred, and he took out the Supernatural Grade Fourth Rank Divine Light Greataxe from his Storage Bag and plunged it into a pool of meat slurry.

The next moment.

The dark red meat slurry spread rapidly along the axe shaft, gradually adhering to the Divine Light Greataxe.

I don't know if it was due to the Divine Light Greataxe's Supernatural Grade being too high, but the speed of the demon weapon's spread made the whole adhesion process take nearly half an hour to gradually finish.

The surface of the Divine Light Greataxe was gradually covered by a layer of dark red meat slurry, and this flesh seemed like a living thing, beating rhythmically.

Originally, the Divine Light Greataxe had a holy aura, but after the demon weapon adhered to it, it became distinctly evil.

"This looks much more pleasing to the eye."

Influenced by the Crimson Bone Demon's Supernatural Grade, Su Hao now prefers bloody, evil things over holy objects, and the current Divine Light Greataxe clearly matches his aesthetic.

【Divine Light Greataxe·Demon Weapon Adhesion】

Supernatural Grade: Fourth Rank

Effect 1—Divine Light: (omitted)

Effect 2—Gravity Field: (omitted)

Effect 3—Demon Weapon Adhesion: Due to the demon weapon's adhesion, the Divine Light Greataxe can absorb surrounding energy to restore itself, and through mental power it can link with the wielder, making the greataxe easier to control.

……

Just as the demon weapon's description states, its adhesion can only increase the Supernatural Grade of items of Third Rank or lower.

However, after the demon weapon adhered to the Divine Light Greataxe, it also gained a unique demon weapon adhesion skill, which somewhat surprised Su Hao.

Subsequently, Su Hao held the Divine Light Greataxe and conducted a series of simple tests.

The demon weapon's Supernatural Grade is limited, so its enhancements to the Divine Light Greataxe's sharpness, weight, hardness, etc., are not obvious.

Su Hao had anticipated this, felt no disappointment, and on the contrary, in the following tests the Divine Light Greataxe after demon weapon adhesion gave him some small surprises.

Although after demon weapon adhesion, the Divine Light Greataxe's power did not increase significantly.

But Su Hao discovered that, with the mental power connection, he and the Divine Light Greataxe seemed to be in sync, allowing him to wield the greataxe more easily and greatly reducing his mental strain.

As long as Su Hao's thoughts stir slightly, he can perform the corresponding actions, including using the gravity field, etc.; even if held by the Pale Bone Claw, he can still easily control the Divine Light Greataxe.

This increase is even more noticeable than when the adhesion was on the Pale Bone Blade.

Hmm…

Of course, perhaps this is also related to the Pale Bone Blade lacking much Supernatural ability.

For Su Hao, this is a huge improvement.

After obtaining the Pale Bone Claw, he plans to equip himself with as many different weapons as possible in future battles.

After the demon weapon adhesion, mental strain is greatly reduced, undoubtedly lessening his combat burden and allowing him to more easily control multiple weapons.

As for the demon weapon's minor enhancements to other aspects of Fourth Rank Supernatural items, Su Hao actually doesn't mind.

After all, a Fourth Rank Supernatural item is already powerful enough; lacking that bit of improvement isn't a big deal.

After a series of experiments, Su Hao is especially satisfied with the Divine Light Greataxe after demon weapon adhesion.

Unfortunately, the number of viscous slime cores and rotting mud monster essences within the territory is limited, and they have been nearly used up.

To continue crafting demon weapons, more materials must be replicated.

Thus, Su Hao went to the place storing Infinite Cells, gathered most of them, went to the territory's edge, and placed them near the incubation source.

Replicating the viscous slime cores and the rotting mud monster essences requires Infinite Cells.

Infinite Cells can proliferate infinitely as long as there is sufficient flesh.

In other words, as long as there is an inexhaustible supply of flesh, there will be an inexhaustible supply of Infinite Cells, allowing infinite replication of viscous slime cores and rotting mud monster essences, thus yielding countless demon weapons.

To ensure the safety and stability of Infinite Cell proliferation and replication, Su Hao intends to set up a breeding base here.

Su Hao stood on an open patch of ground and summoned the territory's Pale Bone Skeleton Warriors and robots to participate in the upcoming base construction.

First, they needed to dig the foundation, as the base was planned to be placed underground.

The Bloodsucking Vine happened to be an expert digger; with its help, in less than three hours it excavated here underground an entrance 100 meters by 100 meters, and an interior pit 2 kilometers by 2 kilometers.

Thereafter, large numbers of Pale Bone Skeleton Warriors and lifestyle robots, under Su Hao's command, began construction work.

Following them along the inner walls of the pit, they used bronze and black iron alloys to construct the floor, walls, and ceiling.

Throughout the process, they had clear division of labor, and since they themselves possessed decent Supernatural Grades, construction efficiency was extremely high, and by around eleven o'clock at night it was already completed.

Except for its entrance, the entire breeding base is buried underground, constructed entirely of black iron and bronze alloys, giving it extremely high hardness.

To ensure the breeding base's daily operation, Su Hao assigned a robot team to be responsible for it.

Su Hao's assignment for them is simple: each day they must bring a certain amount of incubation flesh into the breeding base to cultivate Infinite Cells.

Once the Infinite Cells have finished reproducing, these robots will take them out and begin replicating viscous slime cores, rotting mud monster essences, and other related materials; as long as this process remains stable, they can continuously obtain the materials needed to refine hellish demon weapons.

To ensure the experimental base's security, Su Hao also dispatched a force consisting of a thousand Pale Bone Skeleton Warriors, Pale Bone Skeleton Mages, and Pale Bone Skeleton Warhorses to garrison here.

After arranging this, Su Hao went to the planting area, summoned Huayao and the others, and asked about their condition after taking the demon potion.

The higher Huayao and the others' Supernatural Grade, the faster the cultivation of supernatural plants will be.

The materials for refining the Second Rank Plant Guardian demon potion, under Huayao and the others' cultivation, had already been fully nurtured.

However, before taking the Second Rank demon potion, there is an important prerequisite: one must adapt to the changes brought by the First Rank demon potion; if one fails to adapt to its side effects, rashly taking a higher-rank potion could easily cause one to degenerate into a monster.

What Su Hao didn't expect was that, apparently because that potion was extremely compatible with the flower spirits, they felt no side effects at all, meaning they could continue taking the new potion.

Upon learning this, Su Hao no longer worried, immediately returned to his room, and began refining the demon potion.

According to the demon potion's formula, pour 200 milliliters of fresh water, 10 grams of clean soil, and 10 grams of plant ash into a clean glass cup.

After thoroughly stirring the mixture, Su Hao, following the method indicated in the formula, used mental power to entwine the Second Rank Blazing Sun Flower and Second Rank Moonlight Grass, then tossed them into the glass cup.

The next moment. The Blazing Sun Flower and Moonlight Grass gradually showed signs of melting, the liquid in the glass cup rapidly boiled, and strands of green gas rich with vigorous life force rose from the cup's mouth.

Above the glass cup, a small green grass formed from these gases appeared, and Su Hao's mental energy also suffered considerable consumption at this time.

However, Su Hao's current mental energy is comparable to that of a Third Tier supernatural being, so this consumption is naturally nothing.

Finally, the green grass turned back into gas and retreated into the glass cup.

At this point, the potion's refinement is mostly complete.

Next, as long as we wait for the Second Tier Blazing Sunflower and Moonlight Grass to completely melt, the potion will be considered finished.

According to Su Hao's estimate, it should be finished around noon tomorrow.

……

The next morning.

Bang bang bang—! The next morning, before the sun had fully risen, Su Hao's door was knocked on urgently; he opened it with sleepy eyes, only to see Da Xiong Mao standing at the doorway, looking at him excitedly.

"Roar! (Datui, I'm back!)"

"Come on, let me show you something good."

Su Hao glanced at the potion still not finished, then brought Da Xiong Mao to the mechanical transport vehicle factory.

"Roar? (What, what is this?)"

When the factory's large doors slowly opened, two huge mechanical transport warships and several heavy armored vehicles appeared before Da Xiong Mao's eyes; it instantly froze, hardly able to believe its own eyes.

These colossal objects lay still on the ground like sleeping giant beasts; sunlight streamed in through the windows, shining on the ships' metal surfaces and reflecting dazzling light.

And when Su Hao briefly mentioned the Supernatural Grade and general effectiveness of the mechanical transport warships and heavy armored vehicles, Da Xiong Mao found it even harder to believe.

He never imagined that such huge warships and armored vehicles could be produced in their territory just because he had been away for a few days, despite being a Third Tier supernatural being.

I really was only gone for a few days, not several months?

Datui's strength is terrifying; what I've seen is probably just the tip of the iceberg.

But soon, Da Xiong Mao gave itself a slap.

"Is Datui's strength still questionable?" "Alright, this time when you go out, take one mechanical transport warship and five heavy armored vehicles with you."

Looking at Da Xiong Mao's silly appearance, Su Hao couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

But just then, Da Xiong Mao suddenly grew solemn and said there was something to report; however, after uttering just two sentences, it stopped and muttered to itself: "Datui can't understand my words; I need to call Ling Xue'er over to translate…"

Seeing Da Xiong Mao's conflicted expression, Su Hao felt amused and didn't want to keep teasing it.

"Actually I can understand you; just speak directly."

Da Xiong Mao froze for a moment, its face showing astonishment, then its expression drastically changed as if it had thought of something terrible.

"It's over, Datui can understand what I'm saying!" Da Xiong Mao exclaimed in its heart, "Haven't all my previous complaints been heard by him? It's over, over, my food…"

Its face instantly became extraordinarily expressive, as if it saw the purple-gold coiling dragon bamboo, blazing fire dragon fruit, and jade wave honey peach—these supernatural fruits—moving away from it.

"No no! Datui can hear this sentence too!" Da Xiong Mao panicked even more in its heart, "It's over, over! Everything is over…"

Seeing Da Xiong Mao's panicked look, Su Hao finally couldn't hold back his laughter, he rubbed its head and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I'm not that petty; let's get to the point—what do you need to report?"

Da Xiong Mao hurriedly tried to make amends, speaking excitedly:

"Roar! (Datui, I've subdued a tree spirit outside; it told me that deep in the forest there is a pink thatched cottage, which should be the place we've been looking for.)"

"Pink thatched cottage?"

Su Hao raised his eyebrows slightly; such a distinctive house is unlikely to be wrong, that should be Andelu Daye's residence in the dark forest.

According to Andelu Daye, the thatched cottage may hide many good things, including a Third Tier necromancer's potion and even formulas for other Third Tier potions.

If we find that thatched cottage, Andelu Daye's strength might possibly recover somewhat.

At his peak, he was a Sixth Tier necromancer, so he certainly would have the skill to refine hellish creatures.

As long as his strength recovers somewhat, Su Hao can let him help refine hellish creatures; then Su Hao can completely let go, comfortably act as a hands-off manager, and entrust the refining task entirely to him.

Moreover, Andelu Daye would be happy to do so, is even more skilled at this than Su Hao, and can even research new hellish creatures.

Furthermore, once obtaining the Third Tier necromancer's potion and the formulas for other Third Tier potions, Su Hao can begin to elevate his supernatural sequence to Third Tier.

Although his physique and mental energy have already reached Fourth Tier supernatural, his supernatural sequence remains Second Tier, so his strength is still somewhat lacking.

Seeing Su Hao's expression, Da Xiong Mao breathed a sigh of relief and continued speaking:

"Roar (according to the tree spirit, that thatched cottage is very hidden, concealed in a basin covered by trees; ordinary people would find it hard to locate, do I need to go there once?)"

"Of course, you should now bring Andelu Daye and immediately head to that thatched cottage; remember, bring back everything of value."

Da Xiong Mao blinked, quickly recalling in his mind the previous experience with Su Hao in Andrew Grandfather's Castle. It instantly understood Su Hao's meaning.

All valuable things, that is, not missing a single one, including the thatched hut itself will also bring a pair.

"Thigh, I understand how to do it."

Da Xiong Mao nodded confidently, how clever I am! I understand the meaning of 'thigh'!

Immediately following.

Da Xiong Mao then turned around to find Andrew Grandfather and conveyed Su Hao's order to him.

After hearing this, Andrew Grandfather somewhat unwillingly came out of the laboratory and followed Da Xiong Mao aboard the mechanical transport ship.

Accompanying them were also over a thousand pale skeleton warriors and pale skeleton mages, plus several mighty pale bone dragons.

As long as they can find that thatched hut, Su Hao's strength will be greatly enhanced, and his future work will also be reduced.

"Hope they can go smoothly."

Watching the departing mechanical transport ship, Su Hao turned back to his room and began to concoct potions.
