Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Fusion Flesh and Blood Corpse
"Radiance of the Lamp Tree"
Monsters emerged from the mist, and this time, Su Han had come out without carrying any Lamp Tree Crystals, having given the remaining ones to Zhu Xiong and the others.
However, when the Human-faced Tree appeared, this ceased to be a problem.
The entire Human-faced Tree emitted a faint glow, and then the mist was swiftly dispelled, especially where the vines stretched out.
The entire street close to Su Han's end, within a three hundred meter radius, had been cleared of mist.
It was only then that Su Han could clearly see the number of monsters swarming the streets towards him.
Figures climbing rapidly between floors, flesh corpses swarming the street like locusts, their hideous faces clearly visible, and their twisted bodies chilling to the bone.
At a thought from Su Han, the Spider Demon Warrior already charged forward, flesh corpses blocking his advance, but in the next instant, they were sent flying by the Wolf Fang Club he wielded in his hands.
The hundred-pound Wolf Fang Club swung heavily, the wolf-tooth-like spikes piercing flesh and carrying powerful force to smash every bone in their muscles.
The crack of breaking bones and the rain of flying blood and flesh formed a tragic and eerie battlefield on the streets.
After switching from Pu knives to heavy weapons like the Wolf Fang Club, the Spider Demon Warrior's terrifying Power Burst became even more vividly displayed.
The flesh corpses could not stop its advance, with each step and sweep, seven or eight were sent flying, their flesh shattered and spines broken.
Su Han gripped the Pu knife in his hand, his gaze sharpening, as he too met the flesh corpses that leapt at him.
With every motion of his hand, the knife fell, with the tremendous force transmitted from the blade, cleaving the flesh corpses neatly in half.

Having been nourished by the Spider Demon Warrior and the Human-faced Tree, Su Han's strength had long been comparable to that of a Second Order Low Grade, although he might not have as many Skills as the Spider Demon Warrior.
Yet under the augmentations of Iron Skin and Self-healing Skills, he still possessed the ability to slaughter indiscriminately.
The Spider Demon Warrior and Su Han moved together, the vines of the Human-faced Tree stretching along both sides of the street, protecting the two from behind, without directly attacking.
Su Han wanted to not only hunt monsters, but also to grasp an understanding of the Black Armor of the Spider Demon Warrior through this battle.
The clanging sounds continued to rise, with more and more monsters assailing the Spider Demon Warrior, their attacks incessantly landing on it.
Sheathed in the Black Armor, it bore all the attacks, solid as a mountain, continuously wielding the Wolf Fang Club in its hands.
Over a hundred flesh corpses had already been killed by the Spider Demon Warrior in the fray, and through continuous combat, Su Han gradually felt that special sensation of the Black Armor's attachment.
"Energy flowing and solidifying into armor, along with the reconfiguration of metallic elements..."
An unusual sensation surged into his mind, then his skin slightly heated up, and faint lines suddenly appeared on his body.
His eyes focused, a flash of light passing by: "Black Armor"
With a soft exhalation, pitch-black armor plates appeared around Su Han, enveloping him, his body covered in Black Armor, with dark flowing luster, a ferocious ghost-faced chest plate in front, a cold black helmet above, and a Pu knife held in hand, all merging into one with the Black Armor, as if he were a war general who had fought a hundred battles.
"Not a bad feeling, and it hasn't really affected the vision either."
The Black Armor, inherently alive, adjusted subtly with Su Han's breathing rhythm and frequency of motion, feeling as if it was always a part of his body.
Therefore, donning the Black Armor not only meant he did not feel suppressed, but contrarily, it awakened a yearning to fight within his heart.
To fight clad in armor, engaged in close combat, was an impulse engraved in his genes.
In a flash, Su Han, much like the Spider Demon Warrior, burst into the throng of flesh corpses, throwing a punch that exploded a charging corpse's head.
Su Han's movements were swift and decisive, seamlessly executed. Another corpse tried to topple him but was met by a faster flash of blade that severed its head.
With the Angel Envoy warrior slashing alongside him, more and more corpses fell, their blood staining the entire street red, until a sense of fear finally engulfed these monsters.
They began to retreat, more than thirty of them hunching over to flee rapidly, like frightened stray dogs, desperately attempting to put distance between themselves and the Angel Envoy warrior and Su Han.
Carcasses were not mindless walking zombies; they were savage and bloodthirsty like beasts, but it was also because they were like beasts that they herded together and nonetheless harbored a semblance of fear.
The hostility toward the Angel Envoy warrior was ultimately suppressed by fear, then the desire to flee took over.
"Too late,"
Su Han had been prepared for this all along. The Human-faced Tree had held back only to let him gain insight and synchronize skills; now that the synchronization was complete, the real slaughter was about to begin.
"Shasha-shasha"
Vines burst forth suddenly. Strips of them swept across, flipping the carcasses to the ground and entwined them swiftly, burrowing through their mouths, eyes, and then shredding their organs, killing them one by one.
Dozens of vines acting in unison, and in just a few short minutes, not a single one of the thirty-plus carcasses escaped; all were slain on the spot.
The blood stained the entire street red. Su Han glanced at the Human-faced Tree, then at the Angel Envoy warrior.
He thought to himself: The Human-faced Tree has yet to try fusing with carcass flesh, it might be worth a try, while the Angel Envoy warrior can continue to merge with metal.
The street was littered not just with slain carcasses but also fallen railings and abandoned cars, all containing a wealth of metal, ideal for the Angel Envoy warrior's Fusion materials.
[Fusion Materials Found: Carcass flesh and blood, commence Fusion?]
"Fusion"
Su Han gave the order and the Human-faced Tree's vines immediately sprang to life. Fine threads separated from the vines and started to merge with the carcasses' bodies.
Clumps of flesh and bone quickly became part of the Human-faced Tree's body. Su Han's eyes brightened; this speed was much faster than the metal, and the required quantity wasn't as immense either.
The compatibility was satisfactory; it made sense since the interior of the Human-faced Tree was already made of flesh, merging with more flesh naturally sped up the process.
While the Human-faced Tree was busy integrating one carcass after another, Su Han ordered the Angel Envoy warrior to begin fusing with the vehicles on both sides of the street.
A commercial area mostly frequented by pedestrians wouldn't normally have many parked vehicles, but with the fog onset and monstrous mutations, panicked people flocked to the streets, inadvertently blocking them.
As a result, dozens of vehicles of varying sizes were parked along both sides of the street and even across it.
The Angel Envoy warrior approached one car, began to merge with it, its pace even quicker than the Human-faced Tree's.
Su Han watched as the fusion degree of the two Angel Envoys slowly climbed, waiting patiently.
Though the Human-faced Tree was a bit slower, the material needed for its first Fusion with the carcass flesh was much less than what the Angel Envoy warrior required.
In contrast, an hour later, after having consumed nearly a hundred carcasses, with only single digits of carcass flesh and blood left, the Fusion degree was fulfilled.

"Crack-crack-crack"
As Fusion completed, spiritual energy converged within the Human-faced Tree. Its ten-meter body expanded further, its eyes becoming more blood-red, and its strength increased slightly.
Su Han's gaze sharpened as he carefully sensed this newly acquired skill. After understanding it, his eyes lit up, and he stared straight at the Human-faced Tree.
