My Monster Fuses Everything

Spiritual Energy Bomb.

A total of nine Spiritual Energy Bombs were traded, and one was consumed during an experiment.

The warhead is about twenty centimeters long and five centimeters wide, roughly the size of a bottle of mineral water.

It is encased in metal, the metal shell presenting a dull color. The material is not entirely metal but some kind of mixture, with the tip resembling a bullet head, containing a fuse.

To call such a Spiritual Energy Bomb a Spiritual Energy Warhead might be more appropriate because currently, this Spiritual Energy Bomb is meant to be used in conjunction with the city defense crossbow.

The method of use is simple—shoot it out, the powerful collision triggers the fuse, instantly causing a massive explosion of the material inside, with extremely powerful force.

A single warhead has a kill radius of 30 meters, with the explosion at the core powerful enough to shatter a 50 cm thick concrete wall during tests.

With such power, it is no less effective than a regular rocket launcher.

Even for Second-grade Monsters, if they are not the heavily defensive variety, one or two hits might be enough to severely injure or kill them.

Even high-grade Second-order Intermediate Monsters may not withstand a barrage of hits.

This is South City Camp's new trump card, the trump card against more powerful monsters.

"Old Guo this guy is not honest."

Su Han looked at the information Yan Meiyu sent him, chuckled, and muttered, "With these things, can Second-grade Monsters really stop them?"

After hearing this, Yan Meiyu said, "It's not entirely about crying poor. If we don't use the city defense crossbows, the projectile speed will be insufficient. And if Second-grade Monsters are unpredictable in their movements, hitting the target within one or two shots is not that simple. Moreover, according to them, these things are not cheap to make."

"It's not gunpowder, is it?"

"No," Yan Meiyu shook her head, "Guo Wutao didn't clarify what the material was, but there's one component that is certain—Spiritual Energy Ore."

She paused, then said, "According to Guo Wutao, it takes ten ores to make a warhead, but I don't believe it."

Bargaining always leads to inflated costs, but if they say it takes ten ores to make one, then it surely isn't easy to produce them.

"This thing is quite useful."

Could a Spiritual Energy Bomb hurt any of his three Angel Envoys?

That seemed unlikely, at best it might affect the vines of the Mother Nest Ancient Tree, but that doesn't mean it's useless for the entire camp.

Relying on city walls for defensive combat, ranged weapons are especially important.

If they were really to construct walls as robust as a heavy city's, then hand crossbows and city defense crossbows wouldn't be enough. Spiritual Energy Bombs, on the other hand, would be a powerful addition.

Throwing bombs from a high position, ordinary monsters would hardly be able to withstand them.

"Was this concocted by old master Tian Jiaxuan?"

"Yes," Yan Meiyu spoke with some regret, "We are weak in physics and Spiritual Energy research, and for the time being, we cannot produce such Spiritual Energy weapons."

Su Han waved his hand, "Having shortcomings is normal. It's easy to talk about being good at everything, but we don't have such conditions. Evolve the Angel Envoys well, improve human body enhancements, raise our strength, and we can compensate for this aspect."

What he said was no joke. A part of the search and patrol teams, after using the injectable solutions from the Alien Thorn Worm series, a considerable number of people had acquired the ability of Stab Shooting.

Although the stabs couldn't be regenerated rapidly and infinitely, accumulating them and using them in battle still allowed the Angel Envoys to demonstrate formidable combat power.

The development of the Angel Envoys and the improvement of their strength could quickly make up for the shortcomings.

However, technology was still highly desirable, serving as an excellent transitional stage or even as a small foundation without any issues.

After a moment of thought, without interruption from Yan Meiyu, it wasn't long before he heard her speak up again, "Tell them to bring back some of the Crystal Mine Fruits, see if they can make Spiritual Energy Bombs. If they can, then we'll directly collaborate on the Spiritual Energy Bombs."

"Understood."

Having received Su Han's instruction, Yan Meiyu nodded, already considering how to proceed in her mind.

The overall trade concluded on the third day.

Besides the exchange of information, Su Han's side traded 300 High Grade First Rank injectable solutions, and 20 Lower Grade Second Order injectable solutions.

Meanwhile, from South City Camp's side, two trucks of ordinary materials, about a thousand heads of monster meat, numerous machines similar to threshers, nine Spiritual Energy Bombs, and 20 Crystal Mine Fruits were given, in exchange for some Crystal Mine Fruits.

The energy generators using crystal power that were on the initial trade list, as well as the accelerant for inducing the Lamp Tree Crystals to release energy, were also part of the trade.

It could be said that once the three days were up, both South City Camp and Tree Domain Camp had acquired their respective resources.

For the entire three days, the Mother Nest Ancient Tree was fusing a large amount of rock and soil. A significant amount of the underground rock and soil had already undergone fusion, almost forming a hollow, pitch-black space, the stench of dirt almost suffocating and moldy.

The pit grew larger as the fusion continued, and Su Han couldn't remember how much rock and soil had been fused by now. The place that originally stored the corpses and flesh of monsters had turned into a deep pit, with corpses piled up and the Mother Nest Ancient Tree spread its roots above it, reaching down into the pit.

Su Han had not personally explored this pit, as he had realized something was wrong.

If the fusion went on like this, a small pit would turn into a big one, gradually extending outward. The road surfaces and buildings within the belt area might start collapsing inward. If the soil under the city was to be fused recklessly, the entire South City might collapse into it eventually.

So, Su Han could only take an indirect approach, fusing towards structures more stable and deeper, even outside the belt area where rock and soil covered the area, and in the ruins of broken old buildings, gradually fusing and upgrading. Once the strength was adequate, they would move to the wilderness.

Where the vines extended was where the fusion passed.

The first day's fusion progress gradually reached 34%, the second day 45%, the third day 58%...

Time ticked by, and this round of fusion continued until the fifth day, when finally the familiar prompt flashed up.
