The Four-armed Corpse walked straight up to the Spider Monster, its sharp claws tearing open the blanket that enveloped the Spider Monster, revealing its terrifying, pale visage.
It clasped its large hand around the Spider Monster, which struggled continuously, but soon many tendrils of flesh and blood spread from the Four-armed Corpse onto it.
They twitched incessantly and then swiftly landed on the body of the Spider Monster, connecting the two and then beginning the Fusion.
"Hmm?"
Su Han's expression changed slightly, for he could feel that the fusion of individual monsters was vastly different from that of materials.
Pure materials do not resist, but individual monsters are different, as they do resist.
It was not just the active resistance of living monsters, but also an innate, instinctive rejection and struggle that had nothing to do with compatibility, merely an instinct not to be erased.
However, the Four-armed Corpse was far more powerful than the Spider Monster and completely suppressed such resistance. The Fusion progress could not be stopped by the Spider Monster at all.
1%, 2%...11%, as the Spider Monster was gradually fused, the Fusion progress also changed on the attribute panel.
Interestingly, this fusion did not have any rank prefixes, but simply bore a name.
Su Han waited patiently, the speed of the Four-armed Corpse's Fusion was not slow. In just half an hour, most of the Spider Monster's body had disappeared, leaving only a few spider legs and a large, round abdomen.
The Fusion continued, and after another 10 minutes the entire Spider Monster was completely absorbed by the Four-armed Corpse, and the Fusion Degree progress halted at [Spider Monster 34%].
"A single Spider Monster indeed isn't enough to fill up the entire Fusion progress."
Su Han had anticipated this, thus he was not too surprised but instead focused his attention on the pile of Tentacle-mouthed Spider and Giant Macrophage Dog corpses.
[Discovered Tentacle-mouthed Spider (Giant Macrophage Dog) corpses, belonging to the current Spider Monster lower tier materials, proceed with fusion transformation?]
The prompt sounded again and Su Han felt relieved; indeed, his conjecture was correct. The replacement of materials was not only from higher to lower but also from lower to higher.
"It's just unknown what the ratio would be," Su Han thought, then he said, "Begin the fusion transformation."
Following Su Han's command, thousands of threads of flesh from the Four-armed Corpse spread towards the pile of corpses, quickly enveloping them.
As these were not living materials, there was no resistance, and the speed of Fusion was slightly faster, with the original progress bar slowly increasing.
35%, 36.5%...
The rate of increase, compared to the fusion with the Spider Monster, was indeed slower, but it was nevertheless gradually increasing.
"The Tentacle-mouthed Spider is clearly weaker than the Giant Macrophage Dog, but the extent of growth from the same volume of flesh is quite similar. Could it be an issue of material compatibility?"
Su Han's face was thoughtful, undoubtedly the Tentacle-mouthed Spider and the Spider Monster were very similar, whereas the Giant Macrophage Dog was further apart.
Given the current rate of proportional growth, that was the only explanation he could think of.
"In the future when fusing monsters, it seems I really must annihilate them thoroughly to avoid expending more effort on locating materials."
As time passed, the Fusion Degree eventually settled at 84%.
All this effort was to avoid burdening Su Han.
Su Han said no more, allowing Yan Meiyu to attend to her own tasks.
He then headed to the back door of the villa, which led to the garage. Although only two private cars were parked inside, three trucks were parked outside.
At this moment, Guo Gang was outside inspecting the vehicles with Zhao Yimin, with a Corpse guarding them—a cautious setup.
"Who's there!"
At the sound of footsteps, the two men immediately grew alert, gripping wrenches, ready for a fight.
Checking the vehicles, keeping a wrench handy was quite normal.
"It's me."
Su Han emerged from the mist—there were no Lamp Tree Crystals here, so for a moment he wasn't clearly visible.
But upon hearing Su Han's voice, they relaxed and greeted him.
"How are the vehicles?"
"All right. The only issue is that the fuel tanks are half full. We'll need to refuel after a few more trips."
Guo Gang slapped the wheel of the truck, pleased with the condition of the vehicles.
"What about the modifications? Any ideas?"
Having inspected the vehicles since early morning, Guo Gang already had a draft in mind. He said, "Actually, the trucks' power and durability are almost sufficient. We could weld a reinforced structure at the front to minimize collision damage, and add a layer of metal mesh to the windshield to avoid obstructing the view as much as possible."
He hesitated, then added, "We currently have a welding machine and a cutter, and that's about all we can manage. Modifying the frame would require more tools and steel."
"Zhao Yimin, move the steel over here."
"Okay, boss."
Though unsure why Su Han asked for the steel to be moved directly, Zhao quickly opened the cargo van filled with steel harvested from the auto repair shop.
There were several almost half-centimeter-thick steel plates and many thick steel bars, an adequate amount of material.
Zhao Yimin had the Angel Envoy Corpse move the steel plates, while Su Han summoned the Four-armed Corpse. With a grasp of his hand, the steel plate suddenly began to liquify, compressing and deforming into a metallic liquid coiling around his palm.
Guo Gang watched, astounded, almost dropping his jaw in surprise.
Wow, he has this ability?
He associated this with Su Han's Pu knives, and the weapons given to each Angel Envoy that day—all forged in this manner.
'What kind of monster is Su Han?' he wondered.
"Old Guo, you decide how to modify it. I'll operate directly to save some time."
