The strangeness is coming, I build a forbidden kingdom of God in the end times

Chapter 114 A new member of the shelter, taming the third-level bloodthirsty vine monster!

"Can you shrink your body? It's too big for me to carry back, or..."

At this point, Su Hao paused, his face showing an eager expression, and he said with a smile:

"Or I can help you trim it and trim off the excess parts, what do you say?"

"No need to trim, no need to trim, my storage bag..."

"No, no, it's your storage bag, which can hold living plants. I can put them in it by compressing my body."

The vine monster waved his hands hurriedly, with a pleading look on his face.

As a plant, as long as the core is not destroyed, it can grow again even if the vines are cut into pieces.

But why would he be willing to cut the vines into pieces if he could keep his body intact?

"It also has this function. This storage bag is pretty good!"

Su Hao smiled slightly. Having a storage bag that can store fresh plants can provide a lot of convenience for future exploration.

In the future, during the exploration process, in addition to digging three feet into the ground, you can also pack up all the extraordinary plants and take them away.

"It would be even more perfect if we could get a storage bag for living things!"

Su Hao gently rubbed the surface of the storage bag with his fingers. Then he didn't think any more and took out all the wood, stone and iron ore in the storage bag and put them into his own storage bag.

"Okay, adjust your body so that none of its length, width, and height exceeds 50 meters, or I will have to cut it by hand."

"No problem, no problem, 30 meters, 30 meters is enough, sir, please wait a moment!"

The vine monster hurriedly adjusted the shape of its body and compressed itself inward with force.

In order to avoid being cut, the vine monster is composed of a huge main vine with a length of more than 30 meters and a diameter of 30 to 30 meters, plus hundreds of small vines of different sizes, forming a vine cluster that is approximately meters × meters × meters.

Then, Su Hao thought about it and put the cube into his storage bag. He smiled at the Snow Girl next to him and said:
"Okay, Alimia, let's go back."

"Ah."

The Snow Girl nodded, took Su Hao's wrist, and flew into the sky. After circling in the snow, her eyes gradually became confused.

She shrank her head into the quilt, a faint blush appeared on her face, and she smiled at Su Hao and said:

"How did you get here..."

Su Hao: ???
Huh? What the hell? Didn't we just leave? Did you forget how to get back home?
Could it be that the Snow Girl has some kind of directionally challenged attribute?
This shouldn't be possible...right...

Fortunately, Su Hao was not an idiot with zero emotional intelligence. He did not ask the wrong question. Instead, he pretended to know nothing and pointed in the direction of the shelter.

"Let's fly in that direction. Next to our shelter, there is a dead tree over a hundred meters high. We should be able to see it when we get close."

"call--!"

The Snow Girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stuck her head out from under the quilt again, and flew away with Su Hao.

"Go home!"

……

Just like when she came, the Snow Girl only took a minute to return to the shelter.

"Su Hao, if everything is ok, I'll go to bed."

"Go ahead, and remember to come out for lunch. I've already told Huayao and the others."

"Su Hao, you are such a good person."

A touch of emotion flashed in the Snow Girl's eyes. She happily returned to her room, wrapped herself in the quilt and lay on the bed. She smacked her lips twice, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

"I received another good guy card. This wave of profits is huge!"

It was not until the Snow Girl disappeared into the corridor that Su Hao shook his head and smiled, then said to the vine monster next to the shelter:
"Sign this contract, and you will be mine from now on."

As he spoke, Su Hao's mind moved slightly, and he sent a contract invitation to the vine monster through the shelter.

[Lord Su Hao has sent you a contract invitation. Do you want to accept the invitation? 】

"Ah? Oh... OK..."

The vine monster also came to its senses at this time, and moved its eyes away from the shelter door with difficulty.

When they were in the Withered Forest, he thought that the Snow Girl was a backer invited by Su Hao.

Now, he has changed his mind!

From the conversation between Su Hao and Xue Nu just now, he understood two things.

1. Su Hao, a second-level transcendent, and Xue Nu, a fifth-level transcendent, live in the same shelter. It seems that Su Hao is very lucky to be able to join Xue Nu's shelter.

2. The relationship between Su Hao and the Snow Girl seems unusual, at least not a superior-subordinate relationship. Even this fifth-level extraordinary Snow Girl seems to, perhaps, listen to Su Hao a little...

However, at that time he still thought that this must be an illusion. The gap between the second level and the fifth level of transcendence is too huge. How could a second level transcendence make a fifth level transcendence obey him?
Isn't this nonsense?

However, when he received the contract invitation from Su Hao, he was dumbfounded.

Since we received the contract invitation from Su Hao here, doesn’t that mean that this shelter belongs to Su Hao, a second-level transcendent?

In this case, it was not just Su Hao, a second-level transcendent, who had the honor of joining the shelter for fifth-level transcendents.

But inside Su Hao's shelter, there lived a fifth-order extraordinary being? !

Isn't this a bit too outrageous? Why?!
He even began to doubt whether Su Hao had any special background. Otherwise, how could a second-level transcendent take a fifth-level transcendent into his shelter?
What's more, the relationship between the two doesn't seem to be ordinary...

"What? You don't want to sign?"

Seeing that the vine monster had not signed the contract for a long time, Su Hao couldn't help but frown slightly.

"No, no, that's not the case. Why would I not want to sign it? You misunderstood me, sir!"

The vine monster waved his hands hurriedly and signed the contract immediately.

The next moment, a message popped up in front of Su Hao.

[The vampire vine——Russell, has accepted your contract invitation and become a member of the shelter! ]

With the signing of the contract, the vine monster, like the giant panda, became a member of the shelter. Naturally, Su Hao could also see the other party's information panel.

In the previous life, the Withered Forest was listed as a forbidden area because of the third-level extraordinary demon clan of vine monsters. Although it is only a low-ranking place, it is also a place that many people stay away from.

The last time Su Hao went to the Withered Forest to chop trees, the vine monsters were several kilometers away, and the attacks of just a few vines almost beat him to death.

As the boss of the Withered Forest, he must have something extraordinary about him.

Then, Su Hao's mind moved slightly, and he clicked on the information panel of the vine monster.

[Vampire Vine]

Extraordinary level: Level 3

Talent: Bloodthirsty Growth
Skills: Whip, Ground Spikes, Vampire Vine Assimilation

……

"It is indeed the third level of transcendence."

Su Hao nodded slightly. With the extraordinary third-level blood-sucking demon vine guarding the shelter,

From now on, there will be no need for the Snow Girl to take action against enemies at the third level of the extraordinary realm. She can just lie on the bed wrapped in a quilt and be a quiet beautiful girl.

Then, Su Hao lightly tapped his finger and opened the talent interface of the vampire vine.

【Bloodthirsty Growth】

Proficiency: Perfect
Effect: The bloodthirsty vine monster can gradually improve its extraordinary level by absorbing uncontaminated blood or the vitality of the surrounding plants.

The more blood or vitality it absorbs, the faster the vampire vine grows and the larger its body becomes.

……

"Sucking blood and plant life?"

Su Hao touched his chin and glanced in the direction of the meat mountain in the distance.

Although the mountain of flesh looked a little disgusting, in fact, all the flesh and blood on it were not contaminated by any ominous curse.

In other words, as long as you can overcome the psychological barriers, the flesh and blood on the mountain of meat can be eaten.

Moreover, the infected flesh on the meat mountain has the ability to assimilate everything around it into infected flesh.

Even though it is just one meat mountain now, as long as there are enough energy crystals, there will be no problem building five or ten mountains.

According to the talent description of [Bloodthirsty Growth], as long as the blood is uncontaminated, it can be absorbed normally.

Does that mean that this mountain of meat can be used as a stable food source for the vampire vines?

"Do you have any special requirements for the taste of blood?" "Taste?"

Upon hearing this, the vampire vine was slightly stunned.

Blood does not need to be cooked or seasoned, it is just sucked in directly. Can there be any difference in taste?
Is there some other deeper meaning behind what the boss said? Is he testing me?
But every time I suck blood, I don’t notice any difference in taste…

Or... by asking this, does the boss actually intend to prepare food for me?

This is impossible. I just signed the contract and joined the shelter for less than a minute. I have not done anything. How can I be rewarded like this? This is impossible...

"Hmm? Stop being so dazed. Can you be a little smarter?"

Looking at the vampire vine standing there in a daze, Su Hao sighed helplessly.

Is it because they are plants that their IQ is not highly developed?
The vampire vine suddenly came to its senses and shook its head hurriedly.

"No, no, I don't have any taste requirements. As long as the blood is not contaminated, I can absorb it normally."

"Do you see that mountain of flesh over there? All the flesh and blood on it is not contaminated in any way. Do you think it can be absorbed normally?"

"Huh? Meat Mountain?"

The vampire vine looked in the direction of Su Hao's finger and saw a hill about thirty or forty meters high, made entirely of flesh and blood, about one kilometer away.

What the hell?
Such a huge mountain is made up of flesh and blood?
Why do I feel that the flesh and blood on it is still squirming? Could it be that the flesh and blood of this entire mountain is alive?
This is a bit weird, isn't it? Is this kind of flesh and blood really not polluted? It looks like it has been polluted...

Could it be that the boss is still holding a grudge against me for what happened last time, so he wants to punish me through this contaminated flesh and blood?

"What are you staring at? That meat mountain is only a first-level extraordinary item, and the flesh and blood on it is also only first-level extraordinary. Is it of any use to you?"

"First level of transcendence? Only?!"

The vampire vine stared blankly at the mountain of flesh in the distance with an expression of disbelief.

For him, a third-level extraordinary being, first-level extraordinary items are naturally not rare items.

But a hill that is thirty or forty meters high, about a hundred meters wide, and made entirely of first-level extraordinary flesh and blood is not common.

Even the vampire vine had never heard of such a thing. Ordinary first-level flesh and blood with a size of 10 meters x 10 meters x 10 meters was already extremely rare.

But compared with this mountain of meat, there is absolutely no comparison!

"If I can absorb all the blood on this mountain of flesh, my body should be able to increase by half, and I will be one step closer to the fourth level of transcendence!"

Thinking of this, the vampire vine controlled the small vines on its body and revealed a flattering expression.

"Boss, as long as the blood is not contaminated, I can absorb it normally. The blood from this meat mountain is of course no problem."

"And after absorbing this blood, my strength can be increased by about half, and I will be one step closer to the fourth level of transcendence."

If before this, his respect for Su Hao was mainly because of the Snow Girl, the fifth-level transcendent.

But now, facing the huge benefits of the meat mountain, the vampire vine gradually changed its mind.

Maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to join the big boss's shelter and hang out with him.

It's just a mountain of meat, but it saved me many years of hard work!

However, Su Hao's next words shocked him even more.

"A mountain of meat can provide such a big improvement? Your upgrade is really easy."

Su Hao glanced at the vampire vine and felt a little surprised.

Originally, he just wanted to get a stable food source for the vampire vine, but now he sees that this is a stable upgrade material!
"For a meat mountain like this, you need to upgrade it to level 4?"

"Ah? Aren't there more than one such meat mountain?"

The vampire vine turned its head and looked around, but saw no trace of other meat mountains.

This made him a little confused. There was only one meat mountain here. What did the boss mean by this question? Could it be that such a large meat mountain could have a stable source of quantity?

Or... can this mountain of meat reproduce itself?
This shouldn't be possible...

Su Hao ignored the change in the vampire vine's expression and glanced at him with a smile.

"Don't worry about the quantity and the extraordinary level. You just need to tell me two things. How many meat mountains do you need to advance? If the extraordinary level of the meat mountain is raised, will it be good for you?"

"If I can absorb five or six meat mountains of this size, I can almost advance to the fourth level. If my extraordinary level can reach the second level, it will naturally be even better."

"Five or six? That's easy. It will only take a month or two at most."

Su Hao nodded slightly. For him, expanding the volume of this mountain of infected flesh by five or six times was just a matter of consuming time and energy crystals.

Now that the contract with the vampire vine has been signed, and with the Snow Girl in charge in the shelter, Su Hao is not worried about him turning against him.

Therefore, under the premise of being able to control it, improving the strength of the vampire vine will only benefit Su Hao and not harm him.

Besides, the cost of upgrading the vampire vine to the fourth level is just some free energy crystals.

"If we combine the infected flesh and the proliferating flesh, the growth rate of the flesh may be increased."

Su Hao touched his chin and stopped thinking about it. He would get a chance to synthesize the infected flesh and the proliferated flesh and blood in one of these two days and he would know the result.

Then, Su Hao turned his gaze to the skill panel of the vampire vine.

The two skills, vine whip and ground spikes, were the vines and ground spikes that launched a long-range attack on Su Hao from several kilometers away.

However, the vampire vine did not take him, a first-level extraordinary human, seriously at that time, and attacked him casually twice.

If the vampire vine uses these two skills at its full strength, the diameter of the vine whip can reach several meters and there can be hundreds of them.

The effect of the ground spikes is equally terrifying. They can cover an area of ​​several kilometers, and after hitting, they can also have entanglement and blood-sucking functions, making it difficult for the enemy to break free.

The last skill of the Vampire Vine is a special development skill.

【Blood-sucking vine assimilation】

Proficiency: Perfect
Extraordinary level: Level 3

Effect: It can assimilate the surrounding blood-sucking vines into part of the blood-sucking demon vines, increase the size of the blood-sucking demon vines, and grow its physique accordingly, and the effects of the ground spikes and vine whips will also increase accordingly.

There is no upper limit to the number of vampire vines that can be assimilated, but each assimilation consumes mental energy.

……

"If there is no upper limit, doesn't that mean that as long as there are enough vampire vines, the body of the vampire vine can grow infinitely?!"

Su Hao's pupils shrank slightly. If it could really grow infinitely, perhaps one day in the future, the body of the vampire vine would be able to cover the entire dark forest.

Coincidentally, there were quite a few vampire vine seeds in that green storage bag.

With the speed at which Hua Yao and the others cultivate plants, it won't take long before they can grow these seeds. When the scale is large enough, they can take out a part of them and let the vampire vines fertilize them to enhance its strength.

When the vampire vine advances to the fourth level, perhaps its size will increase to a terrifying level!

After reading the talents and skills, Su Hao had a deeper understanding of the abilities of the vampire vine.

To sum it up in a simple sentence, as long as there is unlimited flesh and blood and vampire vines, there is no upper limit to the growth of the vampire vines!
"Okay, compress your body a little more and I'll take you to the meat mountain."

Su Hao casually closed the information interface of the vampire vine and smiled slightly.

"Oh, oh, yes, okay!"

It was only at this time that the vampire vine came back to its senses from its shock.
He was already very surprised by a meat mountain of such a huge size and of the extraordinary first level.

However, Su Hao told him that even if there were five or six such meat mountains, it would only take one or two months to get them.

More importantly, Su Hao's words made it very clear that even a higher level meat mountain could be obtained...

This made it even more unbelievable for him. All of this was beyond his comprehension.

However, he did not ask any more questions and began to shrink his body according to Su Hao's instructions.

If such a mountain of meat could really be supplied in unlimited quantities, he would follow Su Hao wholeheartedly, the kind that no one could drive away!
Just after the vampire vine shrank itself into a cube, it suddenly heard Su Hao's order.

"By the way, be careful when you suck blood. Don't suck the entire mountain of flesh clean. I need to leave some infected flesh as samples for reproduction."

"..."

So, can that meat mountain really reproduce itself? An unlimited supply is not a dream?!

Thinking of this, the blood-sucking vine's gaze towards Su Hao became extremely fiery.

I won't leave, even if you kill me, I won't leave. It's useless no matter who comes. From now on, I am the boss's most loyal vine!

In the heart of the vampire vine, the title of "big brother" is no longer just talk, but comes from the heart.

Isn't it his boss that someone who can provide him with unlimited blood and give him the hope of becoming a fourth-level transcendent? Even if this person looks like a second-level transcendent, he is still his boss!
Su Hao probably didn't expect that he could completely subdue a third-level extraordinary blood-sucking demon vine with just a mountain of meat he 'picked up' and some free energy crystals.

Afterwards, after Su Hao sent the vampire vine to the top of the meat mountain, he returned to his room and started the last synthesis of the day.
