204: Chapter 204 Battle Damage Review

The four walls of the secret chamber were stern and imposing, with thick steel wall panels isolating all sound from the outside. The emergency wall lamp overhead cast a dim, yellowish halo, stretching Gu Shen's seated figure into a long shadow.

Having escaped the perilous depths of Mang Mountain, the tightly coiled tension in his blood and Qi finally experienced a brief moment of relaxation.

The aftershocks of infrasound waves, suppressed deep within his internal organs, suddenly erupted like a wild horse breaking its tether.

"Cough—"

Gu Shen's body trembled slightly, and a mouthful of dark purple blood mixed with organ fragments spilled from his lips, dripping onto the cold floor.

The Cold Jade Bone could block blades and Magic Treasure, but it could not defend against the Mountain-Quaking zither sound that penetrated his body and struck the natural frequency of his internal organs. Capillaries in his heart chambers and lung lobes ruptured extensively. Whenever his deep cyan True Qi circulated to the acupoints in his chest, a searing pain like ten thousand needles pricking him would surge.

He removed his outer robe, stained with dust and blood, and took off the black flood dragon black gold armor. His skin was intact, but the interior was a mess.

"Master, your heart and lung failure index is skyrocketing, and biological enzyme activity is plummeting off a cliff."

The Crab beside him unfolded its eight articulated limbs to become a mechanical spider, crawling along the robe to the console. The Crab's monochromatic electronic voice carried a grim tone under the data monitoring. "Sonic resonance destroyed part of your cell walls. Simple mana nourishment will take too long and may lead to lesions."

Gu Shen closed his eyes slightly, breathing slowly, suppressing the surging blood Qi in his chest.

"Medicine." He spat out one word, his voice hoarse.

As his thoughts flowed, an exquisite glass syringe flew out of his Storage Ring.

Inside the syringe was a viscous liquid emitting a faint blue halo—'T-3 Cell Repair Fluid'. This was a top-secret creation from the field of biochemical medicine before the great Wasteland cataclysm.

Gu Shen formed his fingers into a blade and directly pierced the front of the glass syringe into the pulsating vein of his left arm.

With a push of his thumb, the faint blue medicinal liquid was injected entirely into his blood vessels.

A violent burning sensation arrived instantly.

Wasteland technology's cell reorganization was not as gentle and nourishing as the Medicinal Pill of the Cultivation World. It was like a violent construction crew, carrying destructive orders, forcibly taking over the repair project of the damaged organs.

Gu Shen gritted his teeth, his jaw muscles bulging.

Under the stimulation of the medicine, his damaged internal organs writhed frantically. Necrotic cells were instantly decomposed, and new cells divided and reorganized at an unreasonable speed. This kind of forced physiological transformation was accompanied by pain no less than skinning and cramping.

He took out a drop of [essence white dew (Medium)] and swallowed it.

The pure and flawless vitality turned into sweet dew, coordinating with the violent reorganization of the cell repair fluid, rapidly stabilizing the newly born organs.

Half an hour passed.

A layer of fine sweat seeped from Gu Shen's body surface; that was the blood stasis and Impurities expelled from his internal organs. The cramping pain in his chest receded like a tide, replaced by the slight numbness of new flesh growing.

He opened his eyes, clarity returning to his pupils. Although his breath seemed weak, his body was unharmed.

"The Magic Treasure and Divine Ability of the Cultivation World are ever-changing and impossible to guard against. If I didn't have this Wasteland potent medicine to fall back on this time, relying solely on the 'Longevity Art', it would have taken half a year of seclusion to remove the root of the illness."

Gu Shen pulled over a clean white cloth, wiped the stains off his body, and changed into a brand-new gray-black long robe.

With his injuries temporarily stabilized, his thoughts immediately turned to analyzing the previous battle.

"Crab, call up the sound wave data collected earlier."

"As you command, Master."

The mechanical spider extended its head and shot out several blue beams, weaving into a holographic screen in mid-air. On the screen, several red broken lines with high and low undulations and dense Peaks were jumping silently.

"Master, please look. This is the mechanical wave spectrum captured by the microwave radar when the white-robed Cultivator plucked the bone zither."

The Crab's electronic voice began to deconstruct frame by frame. "The target weapon does not produce ordinary air vibrations. Its wavelength is extremely long, its frequency can stabilize the fatal resonance interval of various biological internal organs, and it carries a strange energy field that allows it to convert the earth's rock layers into a lossless transmission medium."

Gu Shen's gaze fixed on those striking red broken lines.

"Infrasound resonance. Ignoring the hardness of external objects, it attacks the internal structure."

He recalled the three third-tier Demon Bone Iron Guard that had completely paralyzed due to short circuits in their internal meridians and array patterns, his knuckles tapping the table lightly.

"My batch of cyber Demon Bone Iron Guard has titanium-tungsten alloy armor sufficient to withstand attacks from top-grade Magical Artifact. But when encountering such sonic means, the internal mechanism becomes a weak point." Gu Shen stated the facts coldly. "If the danger of resonance is not solved, this Puppet army will be a pile of scrap metal if they encounter the Beast Taming Sect."

The Crab's limbs slid across the screen, calling up a set of material comparison models.

"Master is absolutely correct. Rigid Materials resist penetration but easily transmit high-frequency vibrations. To block this kind of infrasound wave, we must fill a layer of buffer with absolute damping characteristics between the titanium-tungsten armor and the internal components."

Gu Shen's eyes lit up.

"Damping medium."

He flicked his large sleeve, and the Storage Ring flashed with green light.

With a loud bang, the skeleton of the second-tier Peak Great Demon—the Mountain-Quaking Kui Ox—which he had snatched from the depths of Mang Mountain, occupied a small half of the secret chamber.

The skeleton was a deep cyan-black color. Even though the flesh and blood had been mostly removed, a faint earthy-yellow demon power halo still circulated on the surface of the thick, pillar-like spine and wide ribs, emitting the fierce might of a prehistoric exotic beast.

"The Kui Ox lineage naturally controls the earth-type oscillation Law. Its bones have been carrying the sound wave resonance emitted by itself all year round, so it must have incredible sound absorption and shock resistance."

Gu Shen walked forward slowly, placing his palm on the spine bone as thick as an embrace.

"Analyze the material of this bone."

The Crab extended its scanning laser, sweeping back and forth along the Kui Ox skeleton.

A moment later, the data on the screen refreshed like a waterfall.

"Miraculous biological structure! Master, the interior of this skeleton presents a perfect porous honeycomb microstructure, and the bone walls are filled with some kind of solidified energy crystal. When external shock waves enter the bone, they will be instantly dispersed and absorbed by these porous structures, converting them into weak heat energy and dissipating."

"If we can extract the core substance of this bone and perform molecular-level Fusion with the Wasteland's high-polymer energy-absorbing gel, we can create an unprecedented anti-resonance sound-insulating coating!"

After listening, Gu Shen already had a complete plan in his mind.

The sonic killing move of the Beast Taming Sect Prodigy would become the best touchstone for upgrading his Puppet army.

"Refining will be done later."

Gu Shen turned and walked back to the cushion to sit down. Then his Divine Sense probed into the Storage Ring, laying out the dozen or so Jade Slip he had obtained from the Mang Mountain pursuers on the ground one by one.

Gu Shen picked up those Jade Slip and probed them one by one with his Divine Sense.

The Beast Taming Sect Disciple had great wealth, and two of the Jade Slip caught his attention.

One recorded the 'Mang Mountain Demon Encyclopedia', which contained the habits and weaknesses of various exotic beasts within a radius of thousands of miles, which would be very beneficial for future hunting.

Another one was quite interesting, named 'Introduction to the Physical Properties of Spirit Materials', which was an introductory reading material for Sect Utility Disciple to identify Materials. It recorded the melting point, toughness, and Spiritual Qi conductivity of dozens of common spirit ores in the Cultivation World.

"The Cultivation World values spirituality, while the Wasteland values physics."

Gu Shen toyed with the 'Introduction to Physical Properties', and the computing power of the AI Crystal in his Sea of Consciousness had already begun to map these Cultivation World material data one by one with the Wasteland industrial tables.

Two completely different systems were slowly but firmly stitching together in the mind of this Extreme Dao Cultivator.

"After the injuries are completely healed, I will open the furnace to refine the bones. I want to make this group of cyber Demon Bone Iron Guard invincible to all sounds from now on."

Gu Shen flicked his sleeves to put away the sundries and closed his eyes to enter meditation.
