Chapter 139: Chapter 133 Blood Qi Blessing
```
Second-order lower-level monsters are good choices for fusion materials, for research purposes, or even as the fetal matrix for the Mother Nest Ancient Tree's tree wombs.
Su Han wouldn't let it slip away, not to mention that only after clearing out the high-order monsters could the combat personnel of the Shanhu Villa District enter and clean up more effectively.
The one-eyed toad leader, intercepted by Su Han, immediately grew desperate, shooting out its barbed tongue toward Su Han.
The speed was incredibly swift, like an arrow.
However, in Su Han's eyes, that speed seemed to slow down. His keen perception and strong reaction ability allowed him to fully capture its trajectory.
He held a Pu knife in a reverse grip, the tip pointing down, and thrust it hard into the ground, completely piercing the giant tongue.
The one-eyed toad shrieked in pain, trying to pull its tongue back with all its might, but Su Han simply twitched his Pu knife, severing a large chunk of the tongue.
"Gugug"
The enraged toad swarm surrounded him, and Su Han stepped forward with a sneer, his Pu knife rising and falling in his hand.
Every one-eyed toad that tried to pounce was bisected with one stroke of his knife, blood splattering, and their eerie single eyes staring straight at Su Han, giving people goosebumps.
"Spiritual energy externalization, attachment condensation."
Su Han slashed down one-eyed toads as he made his way towards the leader, leaving more bodies behind with each step.
Seeing this, the leader was driven purely by the instinct to flee. Its belly made growling noises, and its powerful hind legs suddenly thrust it over a hundred meters away.
Su Han's eyes widened, a sharp light crossing his gaze, "Still trying to run?"
He closed the distance in just a few steps, pushing through the obstructing one-eyed toads without hesitation.
Black Armor cloaked his body, his robust physique bulldozing through. Even the monsters couldn't withstand such immense strength.
Moreover, a hint of red Vital Energy began to emerge on the surface of Su Han's body, with spiritual energy faintly visible, the Vital Energy clustering without dispersing.
[Perceptive Skill success, Synchronized Skill: LV1 Blood Qi Blessing]
Perception shot through his consciousness like lightning, naturally occurring. Strong Vital Energy surged through his body, mingling with the latent spiritual energy to form Blood Qi Blessing.
After perceiving the skill, the smile on Su Han's face grew even wider.
Thought you could avoid getting sliced by running fast?
He gripped his Pu knife, Vital Energy blessing it, energy shrouding the blade, and then he aimed it straight at the fleeing one-eyed toad leader.
The knife flew swiftly, tinged with a deep red, sinking into the hind leg of the one-eyed toad leader just as it was about to leap again.
The blade was sharp, and with Vital Energy enhancement, its power terrifyingly increased, cutting through the bone in an instant.
With its power out of balance, the massive body collapsed to the ground, falling no lighter than the Bloodblade Centipede Leader.
Su Han, having realized Blood Qi Blessing, and additionally nourished by the Third Order Scorpion Spider Demon and the Mother Nest Ancient Tree, felt filled with strength, attacking as if he was just warming up.
He turned his gaze to the remaining two hundred one-eyed toads, and then the figure clad in Black Armor stepped forward, punching with a force that went through flesh and bone, shattering the bodies of the one-eyed toads.
His strikes were wide and satisfying, the initial grasp of the Blood Qi augmentation becoming more proficient by the moment, red swirls curling around his body.
Black and red intertwined, turning him into something akin to a deity of slaughter, his aura accumulating and transforming into something even sharper.
However, as he continued his violent assault, the remaining few dozen one-eyed toads quickly collapsed.
Their instinct to preserve their species couldn't overcome the fear of death. They scattered like birds and beasts, even the one-eyed toad leader didn't dare attempt a rescue anymore.
Su Han glanced over at the Scorpion Spider Demon's battlefield next door, where the ground was already stained blood-red, and the Blood Blade Centipedes stood no chance against the terrifying Wolf Fang Club.
The shells that could withstand ordinary bullets shattered under a single strike from the Wolf Fang Club.
Several hundred Blood Blade Centipedes were already over half dead, and the survivors were quickly burrowing into the leaf mold to escape.
The most miserable was the Blood Blade Centipede Leader, now bound by the Scorpion Spider Demon's Floating Pagoda Black Armor chains, dragged along without the capacity to resist. Its status was so poor that nobody knew how long it would live; its legs had been broken by the hundreds.
The one-eyed toad leader, with a broken leg, was still trying to escape, but Su Han walked up to it, his fists enveloped in Vital Energy; one powerful punch landed on it, breaking another leg.
It struggled and resisted, but boom, boom—several punches struck, continuing until it was severely injured and couldn't fight back.
Physical anesthesia
This was Su Han's best approach at the moment, since the vines from the Mother Nest Ancient Tree couldn't extend this far.
Su Han looked at the dead bodies of monsters around him, a few hundred from two different groups, along with the thousands previously slaughtered, which should be enough.
Controlling the Scorpion Spider Demon, he dragged two Second-order lower-level monsters back towards the Shanhu Villa.
Seeing Su Han pulling the two monsters back, Gu Shaojie and the others were profoundly shocked, their eyes filled with awe and fear as they hurriedly opened the iron gate.
"Leader, the gate is too small, they won't fit through."
After opening the iron gate, Gu Shaojie suddenly realized it was too narrow to allow passage for the two gigantic creatures.
Mainly the one-eyed toad leader and the Scorpion Spider Demon—as they were not only large in size but also quite wide, and with the gate being just three to four meters in width, there seemed no way for them to fit.
This was just a side gate for the landlords to conveniently enter and exit Yunling Mountain for leisure, without much consideration even for vehicle pass through.
"No worries, have people behind the gate step back a bit."
If they couldn't be dragged in, then there was an easy solution.
```
The Scorpion Spider Demon's four arms grabbed the One-eyed Toad and threw it behind the gate. The One-eyed Toad fell heavily in a parabolic trajectory, producing a hefty thud.
Already heavily injured, more fresh blood gushed from the One-eyed Toad's gaping mouth, but it was just a trifling amount of blood.
For these monsters, such a height was negligible.
Gu Shaojie and the others flashed looks of shock, swallowed hard, feeling that the Scorpion Spider Demon seemed excessively violent.
'Hasn't it grown two or three times the size since the Happiness Community?'
"Gu Shaojie"
"Present," Su Han glanced at the No. 31 villa nearby and saw many more people. They must be the manpower Gu Shaojie had requested in the morning following his orders.
"How many people did you request?"
"A total of forty people. If that's not enough, Sister Meiyu can still dispatch more. The team is led by Cheng Xiyuan, with twenty combat personnel for patrolling and the other twenty are capable Contractors."
He paused for a moment and added, "All of them are in the prime of their youth."
"Hmm."
Su Han nodded. Although the camp was divided into combat and non-combat personnel, they were all Contractors. Aside from some children and the elderly, basically everyone had combat capabilities.
Of course, the difference lay in personality and combat consciousness.
But if people were truly needed for combat, at least three-quarters of the camp could be considered combat-ready.
Yan Meiyu had specifically selected individuals in their prime, naturally taking into account the dangers of Yunling Mountain."Lead the people along the road, gather the materials from the monster corpses, and move them to the edge of the wall. The rest will be dealt with by the Mother Nest Ancient Tree's vines."
Gu Shaojie immediately nodded and responded loudly, "Yes!"
Accompanied by the Scorpion Spider Demon and two Second-order Lower-level monsters, Su Han continued toward the location of the Mother Nest Ancient Tree. However, upon entering the Shanhu Villa District, they were in the area covered by vines.
So the Man-eating Vine had quietly come over and injected the two creatures with Paralytic Toxin again, leaving them utterly incapable of resistance.
The assistance of the vines quickly resulted in the two Second-order Lower-level monsters being dragged to a position near the Mother Nest Ancient Tree.
The cages were ready, and because they were Second Order, they could not be treated specially even if they were badly beaten.
Thus, the cages were reinforced, and the Bloodblade Centipede Leader was given a tortoise shell-binding package, implemented personally by the Mother Nest Ancient Tree.
Both monsters were caged while on the other side, Gu Shaojie and his team began transporting the materials from the corpses.
Vines hidden underground continued the fusion process that was unfinished from the previous day.
Time passed, and by the afternoon, Gu Shaojie and his team had finished transporting all the materials from over two thousand monster corpses.
The flesh and blood were indistinguishably mangled, bones shattered as though they had been run over by a heavy truck.
Without the help of the Tree-born Worms, the forty of them would not have managed to transport such an enormous quantity in one afternoon.
Moreover, what unsettled Gu Shaojie and the others was the fact that only Su Han and the Scorpion Spider Demon had gone up the mountain, not even bringing the Mother Nest Ancient Tree that illuminated everyone in the camp.
A single person and an Angel Envoy easily slain so many monsters without a hint of fatigue. Just how terrifying was the strength of their leader?
This question was somewhat unimaginable to him.
The afternoon wore on, and as the monster corpses were continuously fused, the LV3 Essence of Flesh, initially at 71% integration, gradually climbed and finally was completed by evening.
"[LV4 Essence of Flesh fusion complete, Mother Nest Ancient Tree gains Skill Advancement: LV3 Tree Womb, LV2 Vine Giant Rat]"
The successful fusion caused the Mother Nest Ancient Tree to slightly increase in size and was not very noticeable. However, the two skills completed their advancements one after another.
This brought a smile to Su Han's face, especially with the LV3 Tree Womb.
A new Tree Womb had grown in the canopy. An additional creature was added to the flock, and the range of activity for the creatures had also increased significantly from before, reaching a distance of 3000 meters.
The strength had also fluctuated. If the birthing body was suitable, it could reach a Second-order Intermediate level, which was another significant advancement.
After the advancement of the Vine Giant Rat to LV2, the enhancement was also quite considerable. On one hand, the number of Vine Giant Rats doubled to 100, and their range of activity extended even further than that of the Tree-born Worm, reaching 2000 meters.
"The breeding speed of the Vine Giant Rats isn't slow. With a hundred of them, a few can be allocated for production."
Su Han's eyes reflected his contemplation. His gaze landed on the two recently captured monsters: "Should I treat these two as breeding bodies for Contracted Angel Envoys?"
Both monsters were Second-order Lower Grade. Their strength wasn't particularly formidable, but they were still passable to be Contracted. It would just require more time for fusion and upgrading, incurring a cost in resources and time.
If they were developed into creatures of the flock, it would take time as well, but with sufficient resources, it was just about ten days to see effective results, and they would have long-term preservation.
"Creatures of the flock then. Second-order Lower Grade is a bit lacking, and their abilities are not outstanding," he concluded after some thought. If the abilities weren't exceptional, raising them would be more bothersome.
Crimson vines descended from the canopy, wrapping around the two paralyzed monsters, slowly devouring them.
"Tramp, tramp, tramp."
However, at this moment, a series of footsteps hurried over. Su Han turned and saw that it was Zhu Xiong coming back.
"Su Han, there's a situation at Nanwang Lake. A new survivor said that someone seems to be hunting the Giant Crocodile Monster leader there."
