Fusion: LV4 Normal Metal, LV2 Corpse Flesh, Spider Monster
Su Han looked at the attributes panel of the Spider Warrior, pondering his next Angel Envoy Contract.
"The Spider Warrior is basically capable of handling combat on land. Although the Meat Mountain Demon is strong, it has overlapping roles with the Spider Warrior. The Giant Claw Zombie also won't work; not only do their roles overlap, but there is also a significant difference in strength. However, the Fish-Head Monster leader could move in water."
Su Han's gaze fell on the Meat Mountain Demon, but eventually, he shook his head and dismissed the idea: "It's still not enough."
Just being able to move in water wasn't a sufficient advantage to become his second envoy, not to mention that the leader of the Fish-Head Monsters hadn't even been captured yet.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him, recalling a powerful monster, the Human-faced Tree, swaying its endless vines, which had forcefully expelled them from Happiness Community.
"It's time for revenge."
....
The next morning, Zhu Xiong and the others sought out Su Han first.
"Su Han, the villa has been cleaned up; should we deal with those Fish-Head Monsters now? They've been delaying us, making Yunling Lake unusable and inconvenient for water usage."
Zhu Xiong was concerned about securing the campsite completely, as only then would it be truly safe.
Upon hearing this, Su Han shook his head and said, "No, let's put the Fish-Head Monsters on hold for now, and besides, you can't lure them all out."
Dealing with the Fish-Head Monsters was necessary, but luring them out was not easy, and Su Han also wanted to deal with the Human-faced Tree.
"Actually, there is a way."
Bai Qilan suddenly spoke up, drawing everyone's attention to her.
She slowly explained, "Monsters have an inherent desire to evolve. If we place higher-grade monster flesh in front of them, they can't resist it. We captured a Meat Mountain Demon yesterday; its flesh might be worth a try."
Su Han was startled and questioned, "Can devouring flesh also lead to evolution?"
Bai Qilan lightly shook her head and replied, "There is an effect, but it's not great. However, for wild creatures, they might not have a better option."
With that explanation, everyone understood. Extracting and purifying the most active tissues differed from devouring flesh.
The former was undoubtedly more effective, but for wild creatures, the latter was one of the few methods available.
Therefore, driven by their evolutionary instincts, they would certainly be drawn in.
At this point, Bai Qilan sneakily glanced at Su Han. If one were to talk about the highest level and strength, it should belong to the Four-armed Corpse, certainly more powerful than the Meat Mountain Demon.
However, since that was Su Han's envoy, she could not bring it up herself.
"If that's the case, a Second Order monster would work better."
Everyone was stunned, wondering what he meant by Second Order?
Quickly, someone reacted, looking incredulously at Su Han: "You, you mean?!"
"My Four-armed Corpse has advanced."
At the thought, a red light flickered behind him, and the towering Spider Warrior materialized, its terrifying and grim appearance causing Zhang Dahai, Ye Kailing, and others to step back.
Fortunately, the Spider Warrior did not continue to move, and just stood there like a bodyguard, allowing everyone to relax.
Zhang Dahai widened his eyes, utterly shocked: "Damn, I thought our leader was already formidable for capturing that Meat Mountain Demon, but in just one night, he became even more powerful. We must not offend him....."
Undoubtedly, the sudden appearance of the Spider Warrior not only shocked everyone but also instilled them with even more awe, especially the newcomers like Zhang Dahai.
Su Han didn't conceal the fact about being Second Order. He straightforwardly said, "After reaching Second Order, you receive new pages of the New Blood Spirit Book, which allows contracting a second Angel Envoy. The group of Fish-Head Monsters in the lake needs to be dealt with, but for now, we need to change our immediate goal."
The priority of Su Han's second envoy undoubtedly took precedence over dealing with the Fish-Head Monsters.
Upon hearing about the second envoy, everyone showed a stunned expression, and soon, they all thought of themselves.
If they could advance to Second Order, they too could contract a second envoy, possibly even choose one?
Although the corpse was formidable, many initially had no choice but to opt for the Giant Macrophage Dog or the Giant Claw Zombie, both of which had stronger combat abilities than the corpse.
Bai Qilan's thoughts became more active, and she said, "You don't want to contract with the Meat Mountain Demon and Giant Claw Zombie, do you have a new target in mind?"

Su Han was capable of contracting new Angel Envoys, but as of this morning, both the Giant Claw Zombie and the Meat Mountain Demon were still around, which indicated that Su Han's intentions lay elsewhere.
"There's a Human-faced Tree in the Happiness Community, and its strength is at least Second Order."
Zhu Xiong and Yan Meiyu had looks of realization. It turned out it was the creature Su Han had mentioned before, no wonder he chose this one.
"Right, a gentleman doesn't take revenge overnight, and now that you've broken through to the second order, it's time to get revenge on that thing."
Zhu Xiong cracked a smile, reveling in the idea of revenge. Although he hadn't directly faced the Human-faced Tree before, being pushed that hard had left everyone slightly resentful.
Ye Kailing was confused and asked, "Can you stop speaking in riddles? Is that Human-faced Tree really that powerful?"
Gan Xinglei turned to Su Han, and he said, "Well, you should ask Su Han about this; he's fought with the Human-faced Tree before.
"Tree-shaped creature, capable of moving, can devour flesh and blood, its strength and vines are extraordinarily powerful, and its attack range is at least several tens of meters. Its weaknesses might be fire and slow movement speed."
Su Han shared his experience of fighting with the Human-faced Tree with everyone. It was just a description, but the image of vines spreading far and wide and bodies hanging as reserves still sent chills down everyone's spines.
"Afraid of fire, well, that's easy to handle, just get a bunch of Molotov cocktails, give it a tough fight, and if that's not enough, also send it a truckload of gas tanks," said Zhang Dahai, blurting out.
"..."
Everyone's gaze turned to him, making him feel uncomfortably scrutinized and giving a dry cough, he said, "I'm just talking, actually, if we could get some explosives from my brother's mine, wouldn't that be tough enough to handle it too?"
Zhu Xiong couldn't help but ask, "Bro, what business do you run?"
Although they had previously discussed cataloging professions, it had gotten too late yesterday and the information hadn't been fully collected; they still hadn't asked Zhang Dahai about his job clearly.
"I'm in real estate; I also own a construction company,"
Zhang Dahai, aware of the general distaste for real estate developers, quickly added, "It's all legal, never delayed wages for too long, never left projects unfinished, just working on projects around South City."
"Do you have a lot of steel at the construction site?"
Suddenly, Su Han asked a question that made Zhang Dahai pause for a moment before answering, "It depends on the size of the site and the progress schedule. There are tons of steel lying around—I just brought over fifty tons more to the construction site of the South River Bay Community project recently, and it's the closest to here."
Zhang Dahai, catching on, ventured a guess, "Boss, are you thinking of making a cage?"
He had seen Su Han turning metal into a cage to contain the Claw Bone Corpse.
Now talking about capturing the Fish-Head Monster and defeating the Human-Faced Toad Monster, it seemed that metal would likely be used.
"Exactly, metal is useful in many areas, but let's deal with the Human-faced Tree first," Su Han said casually. The steel theft could wait for now, as the primary issue was dealing with the Human-faced Tree.
"Old Zhu, you take charge of making the Molotov cocktails. Didn't we free up several hundred liters of gasoline yesterday? Don't worry about wasting it,"
Zhu Xiong nodded, "Understood."
"Old Gan, gather everyone, leave only a few here, the rest prepare to set out with me."
"Understood."
Because of yesterday's clearing operation, the number of combat personnel had largely stabilized, thus assembling the fighters was fairly easy.
As for the six newcomers, they had no choice but to join the fight by default.
Zhang Dahai asked, "Should we get some gas cylinders?"
Su Han: ?
For some reason, Zhang Dahai seemed a bit fixated on gas cylinders and explosions.
Su Han shook his head, "Where are you going to find a gas cylinder store near the villa district? Besides, making those things explode isn't that easy. We could just dismantle a few electric car batteries from the street; those are more fire-resistant."
Everyone: ???
Looking back and forth between Zhang Dahai and Su Han, were you guys really running legitimate businesses before the apocalypse?
