Chapter 80: Return to the Shelter, Synthesize the Millennium Withered Tree!

Hiss—!

After hearing Su Hao's words, Ling Xue'er and the others, whose faces were already pale, turned completely bloodless.

This dilapidated monastery can actually turn Fourth Rank supernaturals into desiccated corpses hanging from the rafters—this is damn terrifying!

These First Rank supernaturals dare not even glance at a Second Rank supernatural monster, let alone a Fourth Rank supernatural being, which to them is utterly unimaginable.

Yet in that monastery, Fourth Rank supernaturals are just like First Rank supernaturals: if they violate the monastery's rules, they, like the black-robed persons, become desiccated corpses hanging from the rafters, becoming part of the weirdness.

Especially Pu Wenyao, her body staggered back two steps, bumping into a large tree beside her, and the round-frame glasses on her face tilted slightly to the left.

The shelter is the foundation on which everyone relies to survive in the apocalypse.

If the shelter is abandoned, to continue surviving one can only depend on others' shelters, inevitably losing some freedom.

Of course, the main reason Pu Wenyao is unwilling to abandon the shelter is still her talent.

Everyone's talent is obtained after binding to the shelter; she cannot guarantee that her talent would still exist if she lost the shelter.

Putting it more seriously, if the shelter were destroyed or affected by the weird power inside the monastery, Pu Wenyao could not be certain whether her life would be affected.

So she truly dares not abandon her shelter, yet staying in such a dangerous place also frightens her.

But the shelter is so huge that moving it by human power is utterly impossible.

Moreover, to make the shelter safer, Pu Wenyao initially placed it in a treacherous mountain cave.

At that time she felt proud for a while, thinking her shelter's location meant she wouldn't have to worry much about being raided.

But now she really wants to give herself a big slap.

Even if she could obtain some heavy trucks from the God Summer authorities, moving the shelter out of the cave would still be basically impossible.

Pu Wenyao stood there dazed, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Speaking frankly, Pu Wenyao really can't be called a little sister; at least in some aspects that's true, uh... and she seems pretty elastic too."

Su Hao leaned against a big tree, gazing at the magnificent surging scenery, and silently nodded.

"You don't need to be so scared; according to my estimate, the power of that monastery affecting the outside will still take some time."

"You can use this time to look for a supernatural item called a 【Transfer Order】, which is a supernatural item specially used to move buildings."

"Of course, as long as the price is right, I can also work part-time as a mover; a small shelter like this I can still move, hahaha!"

Su Hao bent his arm, laughing as he made a teasing remark.

"Transfer Order..."

Upon hearing Su Hao's words, Pu Wenyao's eyes flashed with joy as she firmly memorized the name of that supernatural item.

However, regarding Su Hao's latter remark, she mostly thought it was just his joke.

"A boss-like mover like that—can someone like me, a small fry, even afford to hire him?"

Nevertheless, she firmly kept Su Hao's words in mind.

If she never finds a Transfer Order, she'll really have to consider asking Su Hao for help, though she doesn't know what price would be required……

"Thanks for the reminder, boss; I will definitely find a way to get the Transfer Order as soon as possible!"

"No problem."

Su Hao waved his hand and said nothing more.

As far as he knew, the God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group had plenty of Transfer Orders.

He didn't know how they obtained those Transfer Orders; if they got them a month later, Pu Wenyao would be in trouble.

After resting a while on the spot, Su Hao looked at Ling Xue'er and asked:

"Any news from Le Yun?"

"Yes, yes, Le Yun is currently on a mission and won't be back for another two or three days; when she returns, I'll bring her to your shelter, boss?"

"Sure."

Su Hao nodded, then chatted a few more words with Ling Xue'er and the others, boarded a helicopter, and flew toward the shelter.

……

The helicopter flew for over four hours, and at around 8 p. m., Su Hao returned to his shelter.

After dinner, Su Hao went downstairs to an open space, took out the corpses of the phantom and stone person from his Storage Bag, and applied the Item Refining Technique to them.

Since these two corpses are Second Rank supernatural monsters, and their strength is somewhat greater than that of a Second Rank Stitching Monster,

Even though his proficiency with the Item Refining Technique has reached mastery, it still takes considerable time to complete the refinement; according to Su Hao's estimate, it will take about one to two hours.

While waiting, Su Hao went to the side of the Millennium Withered Tree and used his first Synthesis Heart of the day.

Today, while exploring an ancient tomb, he obtained a Cursed Scarecrow; now, by synthesizing these three Millennium Ancient Trees, he can begin constructing a Withered Ancient Tree.

"Synthesize!"

As Su Hao's thoughts turned, a golden light wrapped around the three Millennium Withered Trees, forming a huge light sphere over fifty meters in diameter.

"Hiss—!"

"This consumption is way too great!"

When the golden light of synthesis enveloped the three Millennium Withered Trees, Su Hao felt his mental power surge wildly from deep within his brain, instantly consuming nearly half of it.

But that makes sense, since these three Millennium Withered Trees are Second Rank supernatural items; consuming a bit more mental power is normal.

Because all three materials for this synthesis are Second Rank supernatural items, the synthesis takes even longer.

Furthermore, during the synthesis, the golden light sphere enveloping the Millennium Withered Trees kept expanding in diameter and growing brighter.

After waiting an hour, the golden light sphere's diameter expanded to nearly a hundred meters, then it burst forth with blinding light, causing Su Hao to instinctively close his eyes.

When he reopened his eyes, the three Millennium Withered Trees, each over fifty meters tall, had completely vanished.

On the ground remained a single massive withered log, nearly a hundred meters high and five to six meters in diameter.

A rotting aura emanated from that log; even with Su Hao's current physical strength, he felt waves of discomfort.

"This effect……is so strong!"

Su Hao, however, had the physique of an extraordinary second tier, but now merely standing beside this withered tree, he was affected by it, feeling his qi and blood rapidly draining.

If he remains long-term beside this withered tree, I'm afraid all of Su Hao's blood could completely wither and dry up.

Just from this point alone, it is enough to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of this withered tree; this is absolutely something an ordinary second-tier extraordinary item cannot achieve.

Even if this withered tree is not a third-tier extraordinary item, it is absolutely a top-tier second-tier extraordinary item!

With a feeling of anticipation, Su Hao's thoughts stirred slightly, and he used the Item Appraisal Technique on this withered tree.
