Chapter 1192 Blood Shadow Lurking

They returned from the new world with a full harvest.

Back to the top floor of the Hongtu Building.

Everyone was satisfied with the rewards piled up in the hall, and the distribution was quickly completed.

Li Ming received a longbow.

【Bean Longbow】: Can fire incredibly powerful compressed bean bullets, suitable for mid- to long-range attacks. Charging up increases attack power, and at its maximum, it also has "armor-piercing" effect.

Li Ming tried pulling the string out the window.

The pod-shaped bow opened slightly, its surface covered with fine, flowing vine-like patterns, and a round, green bean actually formed on the string.

As soon as he let go, the green beans flew out with a "whoosh".

There was only a fleeting glimpse of a blue arc flying into the distance, followed by a cry of pain echoing from afar. The enraged monster leaped out of the snow and actually struck.

Li Ming then transformed into a golden dragon, flew down, and captured the strange creature, bringing it back to the building for "remodeling."

The Taibai Sword Immortal obtained a piece of protective gear.

【Chestnut Armor】: When attacked, it automatically reflects a portion of the damage depending on the attack intensity; when attacked at close range, it will cause the attacker to suffer a stab wound and continuous bleeding effect.

The armor was a fuzzy, dark brown color. After putting it on, the Taibai Sword Immortal looked at it from all angles, his brows furrowing.

Liu Hongshan also commented, "It seems to make her look fatter."

"You should still wear it; you need protective gear," Liu Sheng advised. She never cared about appearances; practicality was more important.

Of course, she is generally very confident.

What she makes is both practical and beautiful.

However, because of this, a viewer sponsored a bottle of dye, which floated in through the window with a small parachute and could dye the equipment white.

The Taibai Sword Immortal immediately put it to use.

I'm quite satisfied with transforming into a snow-white sword immortal once again.

Liu Hongshan opted for heavy weapons.

【Winter Melon Heavy Cannon】: A portable heavy cannon that can fire high-impact winter melon shells, which have additional destructive effects on shields, armor, and walls.

Although this thing is portable, the ground shook when it was dropped.

This thing is too heavy for the average person to lift. Even if they could, they'd probably be thrown off balance by the recoil as soon as they fired.

But Liu Hongshan could lift it with one hand.

He weighed it in his hand for a moment, then nodded, quite satisfied.

"Not bad, it's heavy enough."

Zhang Lan received a cloak.

【Cold Night Cloak】: It's as if a piece of cold night has been cut off and draped over your body. It can reduce your presence for a certain period of time. It is more effective when used in the cold night.

However, this cloak cannot be worn for too long, otherwise it will cause frostbite from the cold night and may even be contaminated.

I tested it out, and with Zhang Lan's current cultivation level of the second stage of Qi Refining, she can only use it for about ten minutes.

But the advantage is that after using it, her thorns can also be hidden in the cold night, and can spread extremely far, attacking unexpectedly and catching the enemy off guard.

Ariel, on the other hand, chose several special cards.

【Bean Shooting Tower】: Can summon an automatic bean shooting tower to shoot at a designated target.

[Stab Chestnut Card]: Can create an area with stabbing chestnuts that cause continuous damage to those who enter and reduce their movement speed.

【Winter Melon Cannon】: Summons a winter melon cannon that deals high damage to enemies. It cannot move and must be used from a distance.

[Walnut Fortress]: Summons a giant walnut fortress, providing a wide area of ​​cover, capable of withstanding high damage, and blocking one instance of extremely high-energy area damage.

Greerman, on the other hand, received a piece of armor.

【Walnut Armor】: Made of walnut composite material, it has extremely high defense and strong impact resistance.

The downside is that it is relatively heavy, which reduces its flexibility.

But for Greerman, this wasn't a disadvantage, since she wasn't particularly agile to begin with.

When she put on her heavy armor, the walnut-shell-like plates seemed to peel away on their own, growing layer by layer to cover her massive body, leaving only her face exposed.

If a battle were to actually break out, her mere presence would be like a formidable fortress.

As for Liu Sheng, she received fifty blank cards.

It seems that Gao Wei gave it to her specifically.

This is indeed something she desperately needs.

There are also a few special items—

[Pumpkin Shield]: When deployed, it forms a semi-transparent pumpkin-shaped shield that can withstand one fatal attack or weaken one high-intensity area-of-effect attack. The coverage area is determined by the energy injected upon activation, and the cooldown time is 72 hours.

This seems to be a perfect fit for macros.

If forced into a desperate situation, it can be used to protect the entire New World base, at least giving everyone a chance to catch their breath.

【Magic Lawn】: Unfolds a special lawn for planting cards. Once a card enters the lawn, it will continuously activate its corresponding effect as long as it receives enough sunlight. The initial area is 3×3 square meters, and it can expand as it grows. It can be divided and transplanted.

【Sunshine Chrysanthemum Card】: Produces sunlight, used to provide basic energy. Production efficiency will be increased in high-light, high-energy environments.

Both of these can be planted in the garage.

Isn't there a "big sun" over there?

Wouldn't planting chrysanthemum cards all over the lawn be like a perpetual motion machine?

If you can grow more lawns, you can also plant cards like [Bean Shooting Tower], [Walnut Fortress], and [Winter Melon Cannon] on the surface of the macro.

By then, Xiao Hong will be more than just a flying skyscraper.

Rather, it is an aircraft carrier that truly possesses firepower, defense, and energy recycling capabilities.

The most unique item is a die.

[Lucky Dice]: A 20-sided die that provides an additional result for a random event. To use, hold it in your hand, pray, and then roll it. A 1 is a guaranteed failure; a 20 is a guaranteed success. Other rolls correspond to a certain success rate. Cooldown time: 72 hours.

This thing is only a one-time judgment.

In essence, it collapses the fuzzy "randomness" into a definite numerical judgment.

If Liu Sheng has doubts about whether something will succeed, he can roll the dice once to determine the success rate and have a better understanding of the odds.

Or wait until you can achieve "great success" before implementing it.

At a critical moment, it might trigger a massive transformation.

In addition to this, there is a large amount of material—

【Concentrated Sunlight Crystallization】: High-density energy crystallization, containing stable sunlight energy. It can be used as an individual energy supplement or embedded in equipment as a power supply core.

【Bean fiber】: Lightweight yet tough, with extremely high tensile strength, it is suitable for making bowstrings, ropes, supports, light armor, etc.

【Walnut Composite Board】: A composite board made from pressed walnut shells, featuring a multi-layered shell structure, strong impact and puncture resistance, and moderate weight.

【Winter melon gelatin】: It is formed from the solidified flesh of winter melon. It can absorb heat, has a strong buffering capacity, can disperse the force under high pressure, and also has a certain self-repair and self-recovery ability.

【Chrysanthemum Coating】: It can convert a small amount of external light energy into a weak protective field, thereby reducing low-temperature corrosion, gas pollution, and energy loss. Regular supplemental lighting is required; its effectiveness will significantly decrease if the environment is in complete darkness for an extended period.

These are all good materials that Liu Sheng can use to build "Xiao Hong". He can then plan how to strengthen it.

Finally, there are some supplies:
[Walnut Shortbread]: A shortbread made with walnuts, it tastes good and contains high energy. Consuming it can slightly boost defense for fifteen minutes.

Chrysanthemum tea: A tea that clears heat and detoxifies. Drinking it can replenish energy, remove toxins, stabilize the mind, and slightly reduce the effects of hallucinations, fear, pollution, and whispering.

[Winter Melon Candy]: Can be eaten directly, or crushed and used for temporary wound repair. It can temporarily improve cold resistance after use.

The Fiss Group also took a quarter of what was rightfully theirs according to the contract.

Four pieces of equipment, one special item, three cards, and some supplies.

As for the materials, apart from the [Concentrated Sunlight Crystal] which could be used directly, they didn't know how to use the others, so they gave up and only took a portion of the crystals.

Before leaving, Sophie Faith asked Liu Sheng:
"Aren't you afraid that if we take this equipment, we'll use it against you?"

Liu Sheng shrugged:

"It's understandable that you want to deal with us under this system. But I feel that perhaps by then, you won't want to hurt me anymore."

Sophie frowned.

It seems to be questioning this possibility.

Then, as if remembering something, his expression became extremely complicated.

Finally, with that expression on its face, it was gradually enveloped by the mist and disappeared into the distance until it was no longer visible.

……

People return to the new world.

The new development plan for Hongtu Building is also in full swing.

From the top floor to the garage, from the exterior walls to the interior, almost the entire building came to life.

Throughout the new world, both humans and monsters were incredibly excited about it.

But some of those hidden within may not be so happy.

Especially Lin Jiuniang, who is currently hanging outside the building, climbing up and down.

With a somber expression, she embedded a one-way transparent panel, supposedly made from string beans, winter melon, and chrysanthemums, into the building's original steel frame.

What a mess!

When she heard about the ingredients, she thought it was a joke.

But she soon discovered that although the board looked transparent like glass, it was very hard and could not be smashed or broken.

She immediately abandoned her destructive intentions.

Looking around, the entire exterior of the Hongtu Building was filled with busy, eerie creatures.

Some were responsible for moving materials, some for reinforcing the steel frame, some for applying a chrysanthemum-infused liquid, and others, like her, were installing the curtain wall. Like a dense swarm of insects, they were gradually transforming this behemoth into what they called an "aircraft carrier."

how can that be possible?
When Lin Jiuniang first heard this statement, she almost burst out laughing on the spot.

Based on these things?

With these strange creatures?

A bunch of lowly beings who don't even know how they died actually dared to dream of building such sophisticated and powerful ships?

On the planet Banlan, only engineers from Bell Labs can build aircraft carriers!

But before she could finish her sneer, a vine was shoved into her hand.

"You seem to have good skills, so you'll be in charge of the outer walls."

"Me?" Lin Jiuniang almost thought she had misheard.

"Of course it's you!"

The speaker was the group leader of her group.

It was a strange creature that looked like a failed copy-paste, with six eyes layered on its face, casting six disdainful glances at the same time.

"They eat so many supplies every day, but they do nothing. They don't even practice the Chaos Yin-Yang Technique. They should at least do something, right?"

Lin Jiuniang was so angry that she clenched the vine in her hand.

A mere strange creature.

How dare you speak to her like that?

The threat, "Watch out, or I'll turn you into my heir," almost slipped out—

Just then, a hand gently patted her shoulder.

That's Changsheng from the next workstation.

She looked much like an ordinary person, a pretty young girl, and she always smiled at Lin Jiuniang, so Lin Jiuniang was closer to her.

"Don't mind her, that's just how Team Leader Shen is. She may be fierce, but she's actually very soft-hearted. Haven't you noticed? Every time you stare at the compressed biscuits, she'll save an extra one for you."

Team Leader Shen is that strange creature.

Lin Jiuniang was slightly taken aback.

She really hadn't noticed.

Perhaps it was because she was too focused on assassination.

She entered this building with the Hermick family with the intention of killing all the members of the New World and then seizing this massive spaceship.

Of course, at that time she did not expect that this group of people would actually have the ability to make such a huge building fly.

She was stunned when she first experienced the Hongtu Building taking off.

After the initial shock came a burning desire.

Once we kill them all, this thing will belong to the Hermick family!
In order to achieve this goal, Lin Jiuniang and her group had no choice but to split up and lie in hiding.

The floors of the Hongtu Building were originally office areas for different companies, and now the strange creatures that have been contained are also arranged according to the floor and the company.

The company Lin Jiuniang joined was called "Zhicheng Trust Asset Management Co., Ltd."

There are a total of twenty-three strange creatures inside.

Each company will assign a team leader to collect supplies, distribute materials, and convey notices. When there are engineering tasks, the team leader will also organize registration and scheduling.

For example, this comprehensive upgrade of the Hongtu Building.

It is nominally said that registration is voluntary.

In reality, almost no monster was unwilling to participate.

They were all as excited as if they were decorating their own home.

Lin Jiuniang looked at it and found it all laughable.

What a bunch of idiots! Do they really think they've become residents of some new world? I bet the day the new world needs them, they'll all become sacrifices, cannon fodder!
However, I must say, the new world was acted quite well.

They were actually willing to give away so many supplies to the monsters.

It is said that they will plant a large number of chrysanthemums, green beans, winter melons, walnuts and chestnuts, so that they will not have to worry about food and drink in the future.

That's really absurd.

They actually turned a life-or-death battle into some kind of infrastructure building and farming game on this show.

Lin Jiuniang pursed her lips.

He reached out and took the transparent panel of the curtain wall from Changsheng.

At this moment, she had a vine wrapped around her waist to prevent her from falling. In fact, even if she did fall, she wouldn't be afraid because there was another protective system on the outer layer of the building.

Even the wind and snow of a cold night can be kept out.

Every time Lin Jiuniang sees this protective system, she can't help but marvel at it.

She hates the new world.

They also resent the new world.

But she had to admit that these people could indeed create things she couldn't understand.

She was born into a minor noble family.

Most of the equipment used daily comes from Bell Labs, with a small number of weapons and equipment originating from the Tyran family.

They had no inventions or creations of their own; they only knew how to use things but not how to manufacture them.

The key to the Izeta Foundation lies in bioengineering.

That was an industrial system built upon the immense life force of the "Spirit of Childbirth," which no other family could replicate.

She later joined the Hermick family because Hermick was skilled in curses, rituals, and sacrifices, which happened to be her own style.

But it seems that he doesn't have any skills other than his abilities.

That's why, once she lost her special abilities, Lin Jiuniang realized that someone like her would find it incredibly difficult to move around in the cold night.

The new world is different.

They have the skills.

Lin Jiuniang even suspected that even if their additional abilities had not fully recovered, they would still have been able to grow to their current size step by step.

It even prevented her from getting close to the top floor.

but now……

It seems like an opportunity has arisen.

Her gaze drifted into the distance—

The woman entwined with vines and blooming with orchids was also among the strange group.

The installation of the outer curtain wall requires flexible climbing, so vines are needed to tie and secure it. Therefore, this woman is in charge of coordinating the exterior wall work.

But that's alright.

If the person guarding this place were that sword immortal, that imposing true dragon, or even the clan leader Liu Sheng, and the mysterious woman beside Liu Sheng, Lin Jiuniang would not easily make a move.

This vine-wielding woman could be a good starting point...

Just as she was thinking this, an astonishing aura suddenly erupted from afar.

The next instant, a strange creature screamed:
Something is coming!

Lin Jiuniang suddenly looked into the distance.

Below, the snow and mist churned, like a white wave rolling upwards.

Amidst the surging waves, countless eerie creatures surged forth in shadowy silhouettes.

Further away, there was a colossal, terrifying monster, its upper body partially obscured by the clouds, its powerful aura palpable even from afar.

Lin Jiuniang was so shocked that she almost revealed her true form.

How can there be so many!
The key question is, can it withstand it?

The next moment, the Hongtu Building also shook violently.

It was as if the building itself was trembling with fear, emitting a low hum.

"Everyone, hold on tight to the vines!" the vine-wielding woman shouted.

She pulled her hands together in mid-air, and all the vines, including those on Lin Jiuniang's body, tightened suddenly, preventing her from being shaken off the building by the tremors.

At this moment, a golden protective system rose from the outer layer of the building, barely stabilizing itself under the impact of the turbulent airflow and eerie energy.

Finally, the engine started, and the building sped off in another direction.

But how could these strange creatures possibly let go of such an obvious target?
More eerie figures followed closely behind.

And those enormous, bizarre creatures, which were caught up with in just a few steps.

One of the giant snakes, formed by countless entwined skulls, suddenly shot out, its spine-like body twisting in mid-air, with clusters of purple light appearing at its tail.

The next instant, the purple light crashed down on the Hongtu Building.

Clusters of light exploded on the surface of the building.

The golden protective barrier flashed violently, as if it had been struck by countless high-energy cannons at the same time, and the entire building emitted a teeth-grinding tremor.

If the protective system hadn't been activated, this blow would probably have been enough to blast open several layers of the outer wall.

Lin Jiuniang clung tightly to the vine.

The bloodline was stirring.

And at that very moment—

A sharp sword light cleaved out from the depths of the building!
