193: Dragonblood Carbon and the Heart of the Blood Elf!

Buzz!

Under Su Lie's Enhancement Talent, the dragon hair grass became even more robust, and the backs of its leaves were covered in blood-red patterns.

"Oh my! So itchy! So comfortable!"

The Rotten Insect Mother suddenly murmured.

The entire hive shook a few times.

Afterward.

The Rotten Insect Mother excitedly communicated with Su Lie using her Spirit: "Master! Thank you for your grace! This god-tier quality dragon hair grass is truly too powerful! After I established a spiritual link with its root system, I actually felt like I finally had hands!"

"You are simply too formidable! Too powerful!"

As she spoke.

She manipulated the dragon hair grass, making it dance.

One could see.

The leaves of the dragon hair grass rolled like waves.

Then they rustled, turning and fluttering.

Clang!

Suddenly, its leaves sharply vibrated, emitting a metallic clang, the sound only weapons of metal usually make.

Su Lie noticed that when its leaves straightened, they resembled rapiers.

"Hehe! Master! This is my self-created Dragon Hair Thorn! How is it? I didn't scare you, did I?"

The Rotten Insect Mother's voice rang out again.

Su Lie nodded: "Very good! How many stalks of dragon hair grass can you control at once?"

As he spoke, he looked at the dragon hair grass's status panel.

The Rotten Insect Mother happily replied: "I don't know exactly! Conservatively, one hundred thousand stalks is no problem!"

"I see!"

Following Su Lie's response, the dragon hair grass's status panel reappeared in Su Lie's view.

The Strengthened dragon hair grass had become a bloodline defense-type plant of god-tier quality.

It still possessed four major functions.

The special effect, True Penetration, where each leaf could inflict True Damage on an enemy, had increased to 1,000 points, and it now had an additional effect of Toxic Corrosion that inflicted paralysis for 10 seconds.

Additionally, four more special effects appeared.

[Special Effect: Spirit Bridge: Can establish a Spirit Bridge with the insect race, allowing the insect race to manipulate the leaves. The insect race's Spirit can nourish the dragon hair grass's weak Spirit during the connection.

Special Effect: Indestructible: The leaves of the dragon hair grass are indestructible and unstoppable. Once they stab, they are guaranteed to inflict damage on the enemy.

Special Effect: Dragon Hair Scale: After absorbing sufficient nutrients, the dragon hair grass will grow Dragon Hair Scales. When attacking an enemy, the Dragon Hair Scales can be thrown as hidden weapons. Each Dragon Hair Scale can inflict 500 points of Penetrating Damage on the enemy and cause the enemy to enter a bleeding state.

Note: The dragon hair grass fears fire...]

Su Lie looked at the changes on the dragon hair grass's status panel, feeling slightly satisfied.

Based on his observations, each stalk of dragon hair grass could grow at least 10 leaves. Each leaf could inflict 1,000 points of True Damage on an enemy, meaning 10 leaves could simultaneously inflict 10,000 points of True Damage.

If this were used to attack a Survivor who had no special encounters, a single leaf would be enough to take their life.

Not to mention the Dragon Hair Scales.

"The dragon hair grass is suitable for mass cultivation!"

Su Lie said this, took out the remaining 99 stalks of dragon hair grass, Strengthened all of them, and planted them in the flesh mycelium woven by the Rotten Insect Mother.

In this short period of time.

The Rotten Insect Mother had already transformed the entire basement floor into flesh mycelium.

She did not stop but continued expanding the underground space outward.

After all the dragon hair grass had been planted by Su Lie.

Su Lie then returned to the first floor of the Shelter.

He put the Solid Wood Bed into the pouch and returned once more to the hive on the fifth basement level.

The moment he took out the Solid Wood Bed.

The Rotten Insect Mother excitedly communicated: "Master! this one doesn't have enough energy yet to conceive a clone, you are a bit too eager! However, if you have a need, it's not impossible for me to create a delicate clone, but the process will require your mercy, Master!..."

She started chattering incessantly again.

Su Lie rolled his eyes: "Damn it! That's enough! I need quiet, I'm not here to listen to your rambling!"

Seeing Su Lie angry, the Rotten Insect Mother dared not speak further.

Su Lie nodded: "You should develop normally. When you can conceive clones and insect race members, I will come back to guide you!"

"Thank you, Master..."

The Rotten Insect Mother was immediately overjoyed, speaking happily.

However.

This time, she did not chatter incessantly but stopped while she was ahead.

Su Lie then took out the blood soil from the ruyi pouch.

This hardened blood soil carried a rotten, bloody stench.

In the blink of an eye, a status panel appeared in Su Lie's view.

[dragon blood carbon: Fine quality resource; the soil of the Blood Secret Realm can quickly harden into dragon blood carbon after being excavated.

Every 1 kilogram of dragon blood carbon counts as 1 unit of dragon blood carbon.

Function: Medicine Refining, Insect Race Food;

Special Effect: Nutritious Blood Meal: For every 10 units of dragon blood carbon consumed, members of the insect race can quickly grow from juvenile to adult.

Note: Insect race members that grow using dragon blood carbon will possess dense vital blood energy. This power can intimidate enemies, but it can also attract powerful monsters that prey on life forms with vital blood energy.]

"Good heavens! This thing is actually food for the insect race, and it can also be used to refine medicine?"

Seeing this, Su Lie took out 1 monster crystal.

He immediately used the Random Treasure Refining function.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye, the dragon blood carbon and the monster crystal were swallowed by the Eight Treasures Purple Gold Furnace.

One second later.

A pitch-black, thumb-sized pill with a pungent odor appeared in Su Lie's hand.

Su Lie's eyes lit up, and he looked closely.

[dragon blood worm pill: Green fine quality, Insect Race Growth Nutrient Pill. Only 5 pills are needed to allow an insect race member to quickly grow to adulthood. There is a 10% chance that an insect race member who reaches adulthood using it will awaken a bloodline Talent.]

"It's a nutrient pill! That's not bad!"

Su Lie sighed after reading it.

However, the effect of this dragon blood worm pill was indeed good.

He immediately performed a Enhance on it.

In the blink of an eye.

The dragon blood worm pill was Strengthened to god-tier quality.

Su Lie looked again.

He saw.

The requirement changed from 5 pills to 1 pill, and it now had a 100% chance of allowing the insect race member to awaken a god-tier quality bloodline Talent.

After seeing this.

Su Lie curled his lips: "Good! Good! Good! I need as much dragon blood carbon as possible in the future! Whether I can mine quickly depends on your effect!"

When he released the Rotten Insect Mother, he had already planned for her to conceive an insect race member capable of mining.

Now that he had the dragon blood worm pill.

Su Lie was full of confidence in his ability to quickly complete the Shelter's second advancement mission.

He then used the Permanent Treasure Refining Skill and checked the newly appearing dragon blood worm pill refining recipe at the top of the blueprint library.

The dragon blood carbon he had taken out earlier was only slightly over 100 grams, less than 1 unit of dragon blood carbon.

He needed to know the exact refining weight in grams.

Upon checking.

Su Lie was invigorated: "Good! Good! Good! 1 unit of dragon blood carbon can refine 10 dragon blood worm pills! This resource is both economical and hugely beneficial when used! Awesome!"

The blueprint showed.

[dragon blood worm pill: 100 grams of dragon blood carbon + 1 monster crystal]

After Su Lie closed the Skill, he tossed the dragon blood worm pill in his hand toward the Mother Insect: "Mother Insect! Eat it!"

Plop!

As his voice fell, the pill landed on the flesh mycelium.

Su Lie watched as the flesh mycelium absorbed the pill into the mycelium in the blink of an eye.

The Rotten Insect Mother's surprised voice rang out simultaneously: "Wow! Master! What was that thing? I actually... actually... awakened a bloodline Talent!"

Listening to the Rotten Insect Mother's joyful voice.

Su Lie's eyes brightened, and he immediately said: "Let me see!"

"Mhm! Master! I'll show you my status panel now. Also, I have enough energy to condense a clone now. Would you like to come over and establish a Spirit connection with me to design this clone together?"

The Rotten Insect Mother replied with slight shyness.

Su Lie's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he first looked at the Mother Insect's status panel.

[Rotten Insect Mother]

[Quality: red god-tier]

[Race: Mist Insect Race]

One could see that an additional Talent had appeared in the Rotten Insect Mother's Talent attributes on her panel.
