Volume 1: Hell-Tier Lord World - Chapter 145: Temporary Synthesis

Upon hearing this, Lister immediately realized that Gu Chen’s words made complete sense.

He reorganized his troops and left the Elven Archers behind in the camp.

At that moment, Gu Chen stopped him, saying, "You don't have many troops right now, take these with you."

As he spoke, Gu Chen summoned a batch of Holy Light Magmas.

Although the number of Holy Light Magmas this time was not very large—just over forty—putting them into Lister's formation would completely change the situation.

As long as they were part of Lister's force, the combat effectiveness of the Holy Light Magmas would be greatly enhanced. Even if they died in battle and self-detonated, they could take many more undead down with them.

After taking command of the troops arranged by Gu Chen, Lister led his men and charged out.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen assigned Wanard to the command and observation platform.

"Keep a close eye here. I'm going to take care of the carriages."

With that, Gu Chen found an empty carriage at the outer perimeter.

That was the great thing about the Vine Light acting as a temporary camp.

As long as Gu Chen could produce an empty carriage, he could do whatever he wanted with it.

There were plenty of empty carriages at hand. Gu Chen selected one and had the vines drag it directly beside the medical tent.

[Empty Carriage (Component)] + [Medical Tent (Small)] = [??? (Success Rate 71%)]

Gu Chen hadn't thought of this initially.

After this major battle, Gu Chen felt the pressure mounting steadily. Replenishing the health of his subordinates had become one of his most crucial priorities.

A 71% success rate was quite high for Gu Chen.

With no time to worry about anything else, since the current wave of undead had already appeared, he directly chose to synthesize.

Following Gu Chen's command to synthesize, the carriage swallowed the medical tent whole.

Subsequently, a large mass of vines formed the shape of a tent on the carriage, altering its exterior appearance.

More importantly, Gu Chen noticed that there were over a dozen slots inside the carriage, perfectly sized for more than ten people to lie down within it.

This was a place to heal and replenish the health of Gu Chen's soldiers.

At the same time, there was a designated resting area inside the carriage specifically for doctors.

After taking a quick look at the carriage's condition, Gu Chen had the Corpse-Eating Vines drag it back to its original spot.

Simultaneously, a notification chime sounded in his ear.

[Pet synthesis complete, obtained Green Quality - Medical Carriage (Temporary Camp Component)]

[Pet Attributes]

Initial Skills: Medical Level 1 (Once connected to the temporary camp, restores health for all soldiers within the temporary camp), Lifeline Level 1 (+30 Health for all soldiers within the temporary camp), Detoxification Level 1 (Instantly removes toxins for all soldiers within the temporary camp)
Description: A carriage enhanced with medical properties; once placed within the caravan, it becomes an integral part of the fleet.

Following the integration of the Medical Carriage, Gu Chen felt as though he had finally found the correct way to utilize the Vine Light.

Once he dealt with the undead here, he would look for an opportunity to expand the number of carriages in the Vine Light's fleet.

Other utility carriages needed to be put to use as well.

At that moment, a green glow appeared over all the soldiers Gu Chen had left inside the temporary camp.

Bathed in this light, the injured were recovering their health at a rate of 2 points per second.

At the same time, Gu Chen noticed that this green light did not just appear inside the camp.

Even the area within a thirty-meter radius outside the camp was affected by the green glow.

It seemed the effect of the Medical Carriage was quite powerful.

With such an effect in place, Gu Chen wanted to synthesize a few more new functional carriages, perhaps something to boost the soldiers' combat effectiveness.

However, Wanard had already engaged the enemy. Gu Chen leaped to the top of an outer perimeter carriage and saw that the vampires and wraiths had already fought their way over.

"Wanard, hold them off until I deal with them."

Gu Chen gritted his teeth and summoned ten more Holy Light Magmas.

Then, he dragged over another empty carriage.

Finally, giving it some thought, he dismantled the ballista on top of the blacksmith shop and mounted it onto the empty carriage.

[Holy Light Magma] + [Empty Carriage (Component)] = [??? (Success Rate 50.32%)]

The success rate wasn't high?

Gu Chen felt a start in his heart, but the current situation was extremely critical; a fifty percent success rate was enough for him.

"Synthesize."

Glancing up at the vampires and wraiths attacking the perimeter, Gu Chen decisively gave the order.

The very next moment, the Holy Light Magmas selected for synthesis automatically liquefied, and the empty carriage rapidly rolled over them.

Soon, magma began to surface across the carriage's exterior.

This made Gu Chen frown.

This wasn't what he wanted; the reason he released the Holy Light Magma was actually for the Holy Light attribute.

Yet what was this situation where the carriage was covered entirely in magma?

However, as the carriage underwent rapid transformation, Gu Chen knew the synthesis was irreversible.

In the end, the empty carriage turned into a vehicle composed entirely of magma, with dark red lava continuously dripping from it.

"Send it into the fray."

Gu Chen waved his hand, having the Corpse-Eating Vines push the carriage into the interior of the temporary camp.

Then, he glanced at the pop-up notification.

At that sight, Gu Chen burst into a smile.

[Pet synthesis complete, obtained Green Quality - Carriage Moat (Temporary Camp Component)]

[Pet Attributes]
Name: Carriage Moat
Quality: Green
Type: Carriage
Characteristics: Mobile, Holy Light
Level: Level 1
Attributes: Attack 8, Defense 5, Health 500
Movement Speed: Determined by the lead carriage
Initial Skills: Holy Light Level 1 (Holy Light manifests in the temporary camp, affecting everyone who enters its range), Magma River Level 1 (A circle of moat forms outside the camp; troops stepping into the moat take 5 damage per second), Water Beast Level 1 (Special water beasts can be raised in the moat to attack all troops stepping into it)
Description: The powers of Holy Light and magma form the most crucial defense outside the temporary camp.

"Quick, connect it immediately."

Under Gu Chen's command, the Carriage Moat was swiftly linked to the outer perimeter wall.

As the carriage was pulled into place, all four walls of the carriage directly unsealed, and the stored magma surged out rapidly, forming a circle of magma moat around the outside of the city wall.

This moat was only a little over a meter wide, easily crossed by anyone willing to step over it.

Yet what truly influenced the situation was not this.

It was the white light rising within the temporary camp as the magma surged forth.

This white light was a gentle Holy Light.

All troops touched by the Holy Light would be affected.

Gu Chen's troops could recover 1 health point per second thanks to the power of the Holy Light.

Meanwhile, the undead would suffer 1 damage per second.

Most importantly, any undead that died within the Holy Light would be unable to resurrect, not even vampires.
