Chapter 57: with translation of chapter title

Flower-Scented Toilet

Supernatural Grade: Second Rank

Effect: A fragrant toilet that can automatically decompose its filth and emit a special hundred-flower fragrance.

Inhaling the hundred-flower fragrance can relax the mind, make one feel pleased, speed up mental recovery, and also clear some toxins and curses from the body.

Long-term inhalation of the hundred-flower fragrance can also increase resistance to toxins and curses.

Hmm... how to put it, the item is good, but what the heck is this hundred-flower fragrance!!!

Looking at the appraisal result of the toilet, Su Hao was completely speechless.

The flower-scented toilet can relax the mind, speed up mental recovery, clear toxins and curses, and also increase resistance to toxins and curses, which is naturally a good thing.

But taking deep breaths in the toilet always feels a bit weird; if someone unfamiliar saw it, they might think Su Hao has some peculiar fetish...

However, this is after all a second-rank supernatural item, so Su Hao naturally wouldn't let it go; he immediately took out the Gravity Rock Axe, pried the toilet loose, and stored it in his Storage Bag.

Afterwards, Su Hao turned his gaze to the remaining fixtures in the toilet and used the Item Appraisal Technique on each one.

Flower-Scented Washbasin...

Flower-Scented Bathtub...

Flower-Scented Tiles...

Tsk tsk tsk, a whole set of second-rank flower-scented bathroom fixtures, Old Andrew really went to trouble, now...

These are all mine, hehehe!

Su Hao grinned, called Da Xiong Mao for help, and with their inhuman strength, in just a few moves they demolished the entire toilet, not leaving a single tile fragment.

And this was only just the beginning.

Since the third-floor toilet was like this, what about the first and second-floor toilets? And the furniture and building materials in other rooms?

Thinking this, Su Hao applied the Item Appraisal Technique to everything he could see.

The staircase made of first-rank supernatural wood—sandalwood? Torn down!

A first-rank wall lamp that only needs a little energy to glow for a long time? Torn down!

Glass windows that prevent peeping, are sturdy and shock-resistant? Torn down!

In this way, Su Hao went from the third floor down to the first floor, taking everything useful; he left nothing behind.

Especially the two corridors on the first and second floors, he didn't leave a single brick, for this is first-rank supernatural material—gray limestone boulders, which he certainly wouldn't pass up.

During his previous visit, Su Hao had already decided to use the gray limestone boulders as material for upgrading his shelter.

The gray limestone boulders possess astonishing hardness; basically, first-rank weapons find it hard to leave a mark on them.

Using gray limestone boulders to upgrade the shelter can greatly increase its defensive power; even if a necrotic calamity descends, ordinary necromancers simply cannot break through his shelter.

As Su Hao's base, the shelter's defensive power naturally the higher the better!

After prying all the gray limestone boulders from the first-floor corridor, the entire ancient castle had no intact spot left.

Like a locust swarm passing through, everything that could be taken was directly stored by Su Hao into his Storage Bag.

Things that couldn't be taken directly were...

torn apart and then carried away; even the castle's main gate, Su Hao didn't let go!

This sight left Da Xiong Mao dumbfounded; until they walked out of the ancient castle, now basically a ruin, its expression remained bewildered.

No way, this is too harsh; if you said you were here for demolition, I'd believe you.

If you gave him enough tools, probably the whole ancient castle would have to be packed up and carried away!

As for what Da Xiong Mao thought, Su Hao naturally didn't know.

Looking at the castle without doors or windows, Su Hao's index finger sparked a cluster of blood flame, he lit a cigarette, and showed a brilliant smile:

"Everything that can be taken has been taken; if Old Andrew could see this in person, he'd surely feel relieved, after all, someone as conscientious as me is not common!"

Afterwards, Su Hao rode on Da Xiong Mao's back, heading toward the withered forest behind the ancient castle.

Su Hao came out today with two goals; one was to fully explore this ancient castle ruin.

The other goal was to go to the withered forest, cut down a few withered trees over a thousand years old, and construct the Withered Ancient Tree.

Once the Withered Ancient Tree is built, the shelter's ability to shield against ominous curses will be able to expand from inside the shelter to its surroundings.

Only by shielding against ominous curses can one cultivate land outdoors, plant crops or supernatural plants.

At the same time, after constructing the Withered Ancient Tree, it can also release the Withering Curse in the surrounding area, causing those who approach to accelerate cellular aging, thereby indirectly enhancing the shelter's defensive power.

Moreover, wanting to upgrade the shelter's rank, one of the prerequisite conditions is to construct the Withered Ancient Tree.

Therefore, regardless of the purpose, constructing the Withered Ancient Tree is necessary; the withered forest is a place Su Hao must go to.

The distance between the withered forest and the ancient castle ruin is not great; at Da Xiong Mao's full speed, about half an hour later, a forest entirely composed of withered wood appeared before Su Hao's eyes.

"I heard there's a powerful tree spirit in here..."

Su Hao rubbed his chin, recalling some information he had learned in his previous life.

Su Hao has never been to this withered forest before, but he still has some understanding of it.

In his previous life, after nearly a year of effort by the Doomsday Investigation Team, about sixty percent of the Dark Forest region had been roughly explored by them, and most of the information was made public.

The remaining thirty to forty percent area was listed as a forbidden zone; besides warning all survivors not to approach it rashly, the Xia Dynasty officials merely published a table.

The table recorded the names of these forbidden zones, the hidden dangers within, and some special rules.

The withered forest is one of these forbidden zones!

Deep within the withered forest, there is a powerful tree spirit; according to official statements, it is very likely a monster of third rank or higher!

"Gulu gulu qi, you are just waiting there; if you discover my heart fragment and it is about to lose vitality, then send me a message via the communication bracelet."

Because that powerful tree demon exists, Su Hao did not have the intention to let Da Xiong Mao go in together.

As a flesh-and-blood controller, Su Hao only needs to separate a heart fragment in advance; even if that tree demon has Third Tier strength, wanting to kill him is not an easy matter.

However, this separated heart fragment has a certain distance limit from Su Hao's main body.

Once exceeding this distance, the heart fragment's vitality will quickly weaken, eventually completely necrotizing, turning into a piece of rotting flesh.

This is the conclusion Su Hao reached after multiple experiments while avoiding the extreme cold disaster.

Moreover, through these experiments, Su Hao also discovered that the stronger his physique, the farther this distance becomes.

Perhaps once his physique reaches a certain level, he can leave a heart fragment at home and himself go explore the dark forest everywhere, achieving true immortality!

These are matters for later; Su Hao currently does not have such ability.

Therefore, it is necessary to place the heart fragment on Da Xiong Mao's body, so that when it detects vitality decline, it will immediately notify Su Hao to withdraw.

Otherwise, if this heart fragment completely necrotizes, Su Hao encountering a strong enemy and having his heart pierced would mean death!

"Roar!"

After hearing Su Hao's command, Da Xiong Mao let out a low growl, took out a fresh heart fragment from the shelter on its neck, patted its chest, indicating that it had no problem handling this.

Suspect people and don't use them; use people and don't suspect them. Su Hao didn't waste words, immediately took out the Gravity Rock Axe and strode toward the withered forest.
