194: Powerful special wood! Plant vampire trees!

Su Lie nodded in satisfaction and said, "This Earth Evasion technique is extremely useful. You can expand the underground space, but you are not allowed to breach the underground city walls!"

"Your wish is my command! My most beloved Master!"

The Insect Mother's voice rang out again.

Su Lie immediately followed up with instructions: "I need a type of worker insect that can mine quickly! Think about how to design it and what materials you need! I will try my best to satisfy your requirements!"

"Hehe! Yes, Master! Your Servant Girl guarantees that I will complete this task flawlessly!"

The Insect Mother said happily.

Su Lie's task filled her with joy; she finally felt like a useful female insect.

This gave her immense motivation.

Su Lie then took out the logs he had obtained from chopping down the blood-sucking tree.

Under his gaze, a panel suddenly appeared in his line of sight.

[blood-sucking wood: Green Fine Quality wood; an advanced material resource for basic materials. 1 unit can replace 100 units of ordinary wood.

Function: 1. A material used for crafting items such as weapons and traps, which can imbue the items with blood-sucking characteristics.

2. It can also be used for the construction and upgrade of the Shelter.

Trait - Rebirth: After being watered with fresh blood, the blood-sucking wood will grow roots and take root in the soil to gain new life.

Note: This is an ordinary resource conceived in the Blood Secret Realm, and it can only be successfully planted and grown within the Blood Secret Realm.]

"Is this the method for planting blood-sucking wood?"

Su Lie's eyes lit up after seeing this.

After thinking it over, he attempted to Enhance the blood-sucking wood.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Before long, the blood-sucking wood was Strengthened by Su Lie into God-grade blood-sucking wood.

Its quality became red god-tier wood.

The conversion rate with ordinary wood became: 1 unit of God-grade blood-sucking wood can be exchanged for 1 million units of wood.

The first function changed to: it can allow items to awaken the God-grade Passive Blood-sucking Skill.

The traits increased to 5, based on the original.

They are:

[Trait - Puppet: A puppet refined using blood-sucking wood can receive an additional 100% chance to gain the Talent of Blood Manipulation.

Trait - Blood Burst: Armor refined using blood-sucking wood can receive an additional 100% chance to gain the special temporary buff Skill, Blood Burst.

Trait - Blood Evasion: Mobile tools refined using blood-sucking wood can receive an additional 100% chance to gain the Blood-based Evasion Skill, Blood Evasion.

Trait - Blood Hand: A Shelter upgraded using blood-sucking wood can receive an additional 100% chance to gain the Blood-based counterattack effect, Blood Hand.]

"One Rebirth trait, and four traits that grant Skills, effects, or Talents when refining different items! The value of this blood-sucking wood is immense!"

Su Lie's eyes brightened upon seeing this.

This was the first type of special wood he had encountered.

The power gained from Strengthening this wood was incomparable to ordinary wood.

"Currently, I only have 5 units of blood-sucking wood, which is nowhere near enough to advance the Shelter! However, the Shelter requires crystal wood..."

Thinking of this, Su Lie took out 1 unit of blood-sucking wood and 1 level 0 monster crystal again.

He attempted to use the blueprint for mist crystal wood from the Permanent Treasure Refining Skill to refine a section of mist crystal wood using blood-sucking wood as the main material.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye.

The Permanent Treasure Refining Skill was successfully activated, and an illusory Purple Gold Eight Treasures Furnace materialized, absorbing the materials into the cauldron.

Su Lie smiled, "Good!"

The Skill was successfully cast.

This indicated that blood-sucking wood could also be used to refine mist crystal wood.

This was a good thing.

In the blink of an eye.

The mist crystal wood was refined, and the Skill phenomenon disappeared.

Su Lie looked at the mist crystal wood and found that only its name had changed to mist crystal wood; all other traits and information remained the same.

Only one additional note appeared.

[Note: This mist crystal wood possesses powerful Mist energy. 1 unit of this mist crystal wood can be exchanged for 100 units of mist crystal wood refined using ordinary wood.

Note: This mist crystal wood was refined using fine quality blood-sucking wood as the main material.]

"It seems all wood can be refined into mist crystal wood using this recipe! Although their names are the same, the notes show detailed differences!"

Su Lie's eyes lit up at this, and then he thought of another problem: "If someone sells mist crystal wood refined from ordinary wood, claiming it is mist crystal wood refined from precious wood, it would be genuinely impossible to tell just by chatting! I must be careful about this!"

Following this.

He made a quick calculation.

If he wanted to use blood-sucking wood as the material for the Shelter's advancement, he would need to prepare at least 1 million units of blood-sucking wood.

This was no small undertaking.

"What a pity! I can only enter the Blood Secret Realm alone. If I could bring the Little Skeleton in... I would chop wood if there was wood, and split mountains if there were mountains!"

Su Lie sighed, then said confidently, "I already possess the shelter advancement decree, and I still lack 3 space-type materials and 1,000 units of the heart of the ore vein! Then I can complete the advancement mission!"

"Among these, obtaining the heart of the ore vein is the most difficult!"

"Before I dig out all the hearts of the ore vein, I still have a chance to chop down enough blood-sucking wood!"

Following this.

Su Lie Strengthened all the blood-sucking wood into God-grade blood-sucking wood.

At this moment, the Insect Mother giggled, saying eagerly, "Master! The God-grade wood you created seems to possess vigorous life force! I wonder if it can be planted on my flesh mycelium!"

"The description says this item can only be grown successfully in the Blood Secret Realm!"

Su Lie shook his head, and as he spoke, he was about to put the wood into his pouch.

The Insect Mother immediately said, "Master! Why don't we try it? Think about it! How can a small panel possibly explain every single situation clearly! Besides, the information on the panel is only the basic, primary information!"

"Oh?"

Su Lie couldn't help but have an epiphany.

He looked at the blood-sucking wood in his hand and couldn't help but laugh: "You're right! There's no need to stick rigidly to the rules! If we can plant it successfully, we can achieve blood-sucking wood freedom!"

Thinking of this.

He placed the blood-sucking wood on the flesh mycelium.

He then took out the god-grade glass bottle containing the mixed blood of fierce beasts and poured the blood onto the log.

Splash!

Su Lie heard a fine, dense sound, and staring intently at the blood-sucking wood, he saw that the log had actually grown tender shoots.

Its tender shoots were different from those of ordinary trees; they were not tender green but bright red.

In just the blink of an eye.

The blood-sucking wood had already taken root in the flesh mycelium through the power of the Rebirth effect.

Su Lie stopped pouring the blood, watching the blood-sucking wood intently.

The Rotten Insect Mother did not stop either; she was providing the necessary energy for the blood-sucking wood's growth through the flesh mycelium.

Ten minutes later.

The Rotten Insect Mother said happily, "Master! This tree has come to life!"

"Oh?"

Su Lie raised an eyebrow and immediately activated the Wood Speaker Talent.

After listening carefully, he immediately smiled.

"Hehe! I'm so full! Baby is going to sleep now!"

"Mama! Mama! Don't control my hand anymore, it's too fragile and can't handle the strain!"

"Alas! It's a shame Mama can't hear me talk!"

"Oh! Such a familiar aura, is this Papa?"

... The voice of the blood-sucking tree rang out in Su Lie's ears.

This was a voice as tender as a baby's.

After hearing this, Su Lie couldn't help but think of the sounds made by the blood-sucking wood in the Blood Secret Realm: "Could it be that those trees were also like this before they matured, and only gained their distorted Spirit after the baptism of time..."

Thinking up to this point.

He looked up at the Insect Mother: "Insect Mother! This little fellow possesses self-awareness. When you are taking care of it, make sure to teach it well..."

Su Lie gave many instructions, mostly regarding methods of communication and content for interacting with the blood-sucking tree.

This was a test of his.

Following this.

Su Lie looked at the blood-sucking tree's panel.

[blood-sucking tree: Red God-level Quality; this is a blood-sucking tree that has gained new life and possesses self-awareness.

Life: 100,000; Spirit: 100;

Effect - Self-Adaptation: Can automatically adapt to the environment in which it grows and absorb nutrients beneficial to its own growth.

Effect - Forced Growth: Can quickly mature by feeding it large amounts of blood and flesh.

Effect - Lure: Can use special frequency sounds to make nearby life hear its voice, triggering memories in their minds, obscuring their vision, and causing the targets to automatically enter its mouth.

Effect - Sustainable Resource: After maturing, it can independently use a command to transform the main trunk into wood without harming the root system. It can then regrow into material by continuously absorbing nutrients.

Effect - Max Level Effect: All materials produced by this blood-sucking tree are resources with god-tier quality and max effects.

Note: The Lure effect only targets life forms that can hear sounds. The stronger the life form's Spirit value, the weaker the effect.

Note: Under the effect of the Sustainable Resource trait, each blood-sucking wood can transform into a maximum of 4 units of blood-sucking wood material.

Note: blood-sucking wood under the blessing of the Sustainable Resource trait will not suffer damage to its consciousness or memory after the wood is harvested.]
