Chapter 147: Chapter 141: Above the Mist
With its form's advancement, the massive body of the Crocodile Dragon Monster began to transform.
At the position of its spine, muscles bulged and emitted a wriggling sound before two huge lumps broke through the thick hide, with crimson tissue surging out.
Red light enveloped the Crocodile Dragon Monster's body, and the flesh lumps grew larger. Bones rapidly formed inside, and after just a few minutes, a pair of terrifying wings unfurled with a skyward force.
"Roar"
The Bat-winged Alligator Dragon unleashed a thunderous roar, its body became more muscular, its skin tougher, and its presence spread out, striking awe in anyone who sensed it.
"Whoosh"
Its wings flapped, stirring up a massive current of air. A uniquely structured force of Spiritual Energy infinitely enveloped its body, allowing its massive form to lift off the ground.
Seeing this, Su Han's eyes sparkled momentarily, and he couldn't contain his smile. A flying monster had an undeniable advantage over those on the ground.
Angel Envoy: Bat-winged Alligator Dragon
Rank: Lower Tier of the Third Order
Skills: Dark Water Cannon, Dark Water Blade, Wind Blade
Fusion: Bat-winged Beast King
He glanced at the panel of the Bat-winged Alligator Dragon. It was simple, but that also meant it needed to merge with more things.
Although it did not require the varied materials of the Scorpion Spider Demon or the Mother Nest Ancient Tree, some basic ones were still necessary for fusion before focusing on its own strengths.
Each monster was unique in its characteristics and compatibility with materials, naturally requiring focused enhancement, which also related to their roles.
However, now Su Han wanted to try out the flying ability.
The Bat-winged Alligator Dragon swooped down, and Su Han leapt up and climbed onto its back.
He grasped hold of the horns, steadying himself: "I should get a saddle for this; it's not safe like this."
The Bat-winged Alligator Dragon's back was very wide. Excluding the tail area, the space from its head downwards stretched at least ten or more meters, and was five to six meters wide, comparable to the living room of a typical house.
But flying in the air, powerful currents constantly swept over it, and just standing there, grasping the horns, would be impossible for the average person.
Moved by a thought, the Bat-winged Alligator Dragon immediately flapped its wings and surged into the sky. Air streams violently buffeted Su Han, causing his clothes to flap loudly and his hair to become disheveled.
Yet, he stood very stable, his eyes fixed intently on the misty white fog ahead.
Given the speed of the Bat-winged Alligator Dragon, it wouldn't take much time to leave the entire city behind.
'If it flies high enough, can I see the whole scene of the fog?'
Flying through the fog was just a white expanse with nothing visible but the oppressive mist.
Su Han had the Ancient Tree Crystal, but it was only useful for low-altitude flight. Below that, its range of clearing could reveal the ground items a hundred meters away.
But with several flaps of the Bat-winged Alligator Dragon's wings, they were now hundreds of meters in the air.
No matter how much he dispersed the fog, it only extended the view a little further, beyond which was the undispellable fog.
Not knowing how thick the layer of fog was, Su Han felt an urge he couldn't contain.
Go!
He controlled the Bat-winged Alligator Dragon to soar higher into the sky.
But just now it was different; even Su Han, a Third Order Contractor, felt that chaotic, turbulent mental oppression in an instant.
An indescribable fear and unease surged, as if facing some terrifying entity concealed further within.
Instinctively, Su Han decisively gave up. The entities in the high skies were not something he could probe at present.
At least not now.
This secret, he wouldn't tell anyone else, especially within the camp.
If he could feel such unease and fear, then for others in the camp, it could likely mean despair.
After all, such a terrifying existence lay above.
'Could it be that ocular demon creature?'
An idea flashed through Su Han's mind, only for him to shake his head, suppressing the speculation.
Whether it was or wasn't wasn't what he should be probing into now.
"Strength"
He sighed, his brows slightly furrowed. The Bat-winged Alligator Dragon landed on the lawn behind Villa Number Nine, but Su Han remained sitting on its back.
"The Bat-winged Alligator Dragon could try an initial fusion with metal to enhance defense, the sources of the Dark Water Skill and Wind Blade Skill are hard to judge, but trying with the monster flesh might work.
The Mother Nest Ancient Tree's third kin-beast should be able to breed in a few days, but there aren't enough servitors yet, and the range isn't wide enough; flesh fusion remains the main concern. As for the Scorpion Spider Demon, the metal aspect should be enhanced; improving Metal Control would be best."
Running through the list in his mind briefly, the three Angel Envoys definitely required more resources, so there was much to be done going forward.
Su Han got off the Bat-winged Alligator Dragon and then returned to Villa Number Nine.
Bai Qilan had just come out of the laboratory. Seeing Su Han arrive, she was momentarily stunned, but she sharply sensed that something was off about Su Han.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Su Han paused briefly, then said, "If possible, we could use more observations about the fog."
Bai Qilan, puzzled, slightly furrowed her brow but she didn't ask further, only nodding and responding, "I understand. But the fog isn't that simple; it might take some time to yield any results."
"Making some preparations is always better than having something unexpected happen without any at all."
Su Han replied, then said, "I'm going to take a shower. Let Old Gan and the others wait for me if they return."
Gan Xinglei wouldn't be back so soon, but Su Han also needed some rest.
During the fusion of the Crocodile Dragon Monster, Su Han had been constantly nearby without much rest, and his body now reeked strongly of blood, naturally uncomfortable.
Fortunately, they had the best facilities here; the camp had drawn water from Yunling Lake, so they were relatively free in terms of water usage.
Su Han went upstairs. Bai Qilan took a deep look at his retreating figure, wanting to speak but stopped herself, then pressed down her thoughts, deciding to speak later.
After Su Han bathed, he went to his room to rest and woke up again in the evening.
He came down from his room, the lights of Villa Number Nine shining, and saw Gan Xinglei, Ye Kailing, and Bai Qilan drinking tea.
"Have you been here long?"
Su Han asked as he walked over and sat down on the sofa, taking the tea Bai Qilan handed to him and sipping it.
"Not long, we just finished clearing up to the edge; tomorrow we should be able to clean up mostly."
Su Han nodded and said, "You've all advanced to the Second Order; you can contract a second Angel Envoy. I have two kin-beasts being incubated now; each of you pick one and complete the contract. The camp needs the power now."
