Chapter 194: Chapter 185 Arrangement
On one hand, Guo Gang and Zhang Dahai led their teams from the Summer Garden Avenue Subway Station in the ring belt region to clear out the monsters and open up subway tunnels leading to the Shanhu Villa District and the eastern city district.
This time, the opening of the subway tunnel was not only aimed at strengthening the connection between all the camps and bases but also at further exploring the subway system, and then preparing for the recovery of the entire northern city district.
Only by recovering the entire northern city district and gathering more survivors under their command could they possess the strength to confront the monsters inside and outside the city.
In fact, even though Su Han had not actively sought to subdue survivor enclaves, camps such as those led by Zheng Xiong and Guo Du, which had had interactions with the Tree Domain Camp, had already gravitated towards the Tree Domain through trade and the use of Mother Nest Ancient Tree serum injections.
The monsters were becoming stronger, and a crack in extradimensional space in the northern city district was emitting spiritual energy, significantly enhancing the strength of the surrounding monsters.
Even with the help of injections, obtaining more resources in this northern city district was becoming increasingly difficult.
Therefore, they had gradually realized that no matter how much they coveted pleasure, they needed to stay alive to enjoy it, and joining Su Han was the right path.
In addition to Guo Gang and Zhang Dahai, Su Han also dispatched Ye Kailing and Zhao Yimin to carry out tasks.
With the start of the second round of garrison training, the second echelon, including Xia Ning, Cheng Xiyuan, and Gu Shaojie, successively broke through to Second Order.
With the garrison at the extradimensional rift, the power of Second-order Contractors also increased.
Gan Xinglei advanced to Second-order Intermediate, his deputy Xia Ning was also Second Order, and later deployed Cheng Xiyuan, making it three Second-order Contractors in total.
Thus, Ye Kailing was able to free up her hands and start executing Su Han’s tasks with Zhao Yimin.
They carried vines parasitized by the Gray Inferior Demon and began deploying them in various regions, setting up spies for the Mother Nest Ancient Tree, and also hunting for monster flesh.
A portion was around the ring belt area, mainly surrounded by Yunling Mountain, Nanwang Lake, and the banks of the two rivers.
Although these areas were close to the Tree Domain Territory, with the Mother Nest Ancient Tree’s vines extending and controlling a distance of about 4 kilometers, most of the aforementioned areas were under coverage.
But this was not enough, besides the coverage of the vines, supplementing with Parasitic Corpse Willows as a defensive measure was equally important.
Distributing 100 Parasitic Corpse Willows across these three regions, the main focus was then placed on areas outside the Tree Domain Territory.
A 20-kilometer activity radius was enough to cover the northern city district, and even extend into parts of other city districts.
Ye Kailing and Zhao Yimin each led a team to directly capture monsters and set them up along the way. Every few tens of meters, or at critical intersections, they left the parasitized monsters so that Parasitic Corpse Willows would grow.
Multiple Parasitic Corpse Willows sprang up at street corners and intersections, bringing vast areas within the Mother Nest Ancient Tree’s surveillance range; even scattered monsters noticed the unusual presence of the Corpse Willows.@@@@
Some monsters launched exploratory attacks after Ye Kailing and her team left, and a considerable number of these attacking monsters were immediately killed by the Parasitic Corpse Willows, while others, wounded but not dead, had parasitic vines planted in them under the control of the Mother Nest Ancient Tree.
These monsters scattered and fled, carrying the parasitic vines further afield.
In this manner, the presence of Parasitic Corpse Willows began proliferating throughout the northern city district, and key intersections in the eastern and southern city districts also saw the emergence of Parasitic Corpse Willows.
Beneath the cloak of mist, the Parasitic Corpse Willows lay quietly in wait, turning wandering monsters into their prey, while the slightest rustling movement was captured by the Mother Nest Ancient Tree.
......
However, unexpectedly, Guo Gang, Zhang Dahai, and Zhu Xiong had made up for the remaining monster flesh.
In the subway, a large number of monsters were slain by them, clearing the tunnels to the eastern city district pharmaceutical factory and gymnasium alone accounted for thousands of monsters.
Tree-born worms continuously brought back to the camp, filling this final deficit.
In the early hours of the third day, the assimilation progress finally reached 100%.
[Giant Rock Ghoul Fusion 100% complete, Mother Nest Ancient Tree acquires skill: LV1 Black Rock Tree Monster]
A majestic aura emanated from the Mother Nest Ancient Tree, and the tribals knelt on the ground, emitting loud and uniform roars.
The ancient, sturdy tree trunk continued to grow taller, the hundred-meter giant tree grew over ten meters more, reaching a height of one hundred and ten to one hundred twenty meters, vines swirling like snakes, hanging between the branches, at first glance, without looking up, the root source invisible, it looked more like a dark green vine rain.
Among these hanging vines, black tree pouches hung down, much larger than those belonging to the vine giant rat.
Su Han sensed the skills, his eyes suddenly brightened, filled with delight, because although the Black Rock Tree Monster was a tribal, among its abilities, there was one he greatly desired—Rock and Soil Control.
Although it was only Primary Rock and Soil Control, it was already enough.
Controlling rock and soil, condensing walls, this ability was certainly not trivial for the camp.
“Only ten, but the average strength is at least First-level Intermediate, with the majority being First Order Upper Grade, the range of activity 2000 meters, that should suffice for now,” Su Han said.
Su Han’s gaze fixed on the tree pouches, his thoughts urged on, and together with the Mother Nest Ancient Tree, he infused a great amount of Spiritual Energy, the tree pouches gradually enveloped by light, hastening the incubation of the newly arisen Black Rock Tree Monsters.
He was somewhat impatient to see the capabilities of this tribe, and if the ability was indeed remarkable, then it was time for the Tree Domain to expand, to scale up vastly.
An hour passed, and with the continuous infusion of energy, the first Black Rock Tree Monster gradually took shape.
The large tree pouch fell to the ground, and then from this sticky, fleshy-like tree pouch, a black rock giant combined with gnarled old vines walked out with large strides.
A deep, drum-like roar emanated from its vine-twisted throat, it knelt on the ground, immensely respectful and submissive.
But even as it knelt, its form was tall enough to be a human’s height, immensely burly.
Looking closely, this Black Rock Giant was about three to four meters tall, with rock plates and rock chunks as skin, and pitch-black old vines as its body’s framework, its eyes crimson, hidden amidst the ugly face made of vines, its arms sturdy, feet powerful, and the vines that solidified were at least as thick as a thumb.
The strength of this Black Rock Tree Monster was about First Order Upper Grade, its special body structure gave it quite the advantage when facing flesh and blood monsters.
However, Su Han was even more concerned about its abilities.
He controlled with his mind, and soon the Black Rock Tree Monster stood up, following his command to the front of a pile of rubble.
The rubble was where the Mother Nest Ancient Tree rooted the ground, dug through the cement road surface due to its powerful entangled roots.
Concrete, yellow clay, and even some parts with asphalt, roughly the size of a human head, scattered all around.
The Black Rock Tree Monster approached this mass of rubble, its hands gestured towards it from afar, pitch-black vines extensively stretched out, connecting with the rubble.
A faint glow emitted and extended towards the rubble; the stones, originally scattered around due to the vines, gathered together, then rapidly solidified.
With a rumbling sound, under Su Han’s gaze, they quickly solidified into one piece, tightly joined, even as if remade, a newly constructed stone slab more than a person tall, a palm wide, appeared before Su Han.
