Volume One: The Hell-Level Lord's World Chapter 84: Synthesizing the Mobile Base—The Vineglow

“Come give me a hand.”

Once all the wagons had been prepared, Chen Gu called Peter and the others over, instructing them to arrange the wagons into a formation resembling a makeshift camp in the wild.

Using his own vine wagon as the center, he formed an inner ring with four wagons and an outer ring with eight, creating a camp of considerable size.

After everything was set, Chen Gu gathered a variety of materials, cradled the Level 3 Heart of the City in his arms, and stepped into the makeshift encampment formed by the wagons.

He quickly made his way to his vine wagon and released all the corpse-eating vines.

“Prepare to synthesize the nest.”

[Nest synthesis beginning...]
[Please provide one building stone or Heart of the City with the corresponding attribute (0/1), one completed synthesis formula (0/1), and ten units of synthesis material (0/10).]

As he began the synthesis process again, Chen Gu had already decided how to handle this Heart of the City.

The path of the Decaying Evil Temple was not viable, but he had found a suitable alternative within it.

The answer was ravens.

Within the Heart of the City of the Decaying Evil Temple, there existed a raven troop type.

It made sense to Chen Gu that the undead would be associated with ravens, so he decided to use the raven as his starting point of connection.

He would use the synthesis formula for the Fire Spirit Raven to refine the Heart of the City before him.

As Chen Gu began the process, each area of the Heart of the City requiring refinement was revealed.

He had already considered every detail while arranging the wagons.

After all, he not only needed to refine the Heart of the City, but also integrate the wagons with it to create a mobile base.

Had he not planned everything from the start, he never would have made it this far.

Through his adjustments, he finally completed the refinement and synthesis of the Heart of the City. Without hesitation, Chen Gu placed the transformed Heart of the City into his vine wagon and declared decisively:

“In my name, I christen this mobile base the Vineglow.”

In the next instant, the altered Heart of the City vanished into the vine wagon.

Immediately, a beam of light streamed from the vine wagon into the earth, swiftly spreading to the four surrounding wagons.

Those four wagons began to change, albeit subtly.

Though their overall style remained, it was now obvious to any observer what their purpose was.

Soon the light spread from the inner circle to the eight wagons in the outer ring. Like those before them, these wagons underwent changes, but it was clear that in addition to their standard functions, the outer wagons now provided a degree of defense.

When all the light finally receded, a notification of successful synthesis sounded in Chen Gu’s ears.

[Nest synthesis complete. Acquired Level 3 Mobile City—Vineglow.]

Description: A mobile base synthesized from the vine wagon and Heart of the City. Due to its design, movement and base functions are separate, making it two entities in one.

Looking at the newly synthesized Vineglow before him, Chen Gu couldn't help but smile.

He then began sending all his subordinates into Vineglow.

All the wolves, corpse-eating vines, and Fire Spirit Ravens he brought along were now counted as residents of this mobile base.

Currently, his numbers were few, so every one of them, without exception, was either a laborer or a soldier.

Especially the synthesized corpse-eating vines—they were the main force controlling the mobile base.

At his command, all the corpse-eating vines could automatically haul the wagons.

In the blink of an eye, the thirteen wagons shifted from a makeshift camp into a long caravan.

Owing to the synthesis, the vine wagon had also changed in appearance.

Before, there had been no visible vines pulling the lead wagon.

Now, everything was different: at the front of the lead wagon were thirteen corpse-eating vines, serving as the motive force.

Each one boasted more than nine tendrils emerging from the ground, every tendril crowned with the skull of a hydra; from a distance, it resembled a swarm of hydras in motion.

Between each pair of wagons, two corpse-eating vines served as guards, ensuring the wagons would not derail or overturn while traveling.

Atop every wagon was a ring of perches for Fire Spirit Ravens.

At the rear of each wagon, Scarecrow Killers stood as sentinels.

Once all the wagons were linked, vines quickly wove them together, blossoming with flowers of various hues.

Lanterns adorned with eyeballs hung from each corner, casting faint light over the wagons.

Bloodshadow Wolves and other wolves ran ceaselessly around the caravan, occasionally dragging objects back.

Surveying the caravan, Chen Gu laughed aloud.

“All right, these wagons are more than enough.”
