Chapter 148 The Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood

The laboratory in the quarantine zone has finally been rebuilt.

After filming the promotional video, Jiang Shuzhou gave Hayes some management instructions before entering the intense and exciting research phase.

During this period, only Chahara was allowed to enter the laboratory; no one else was allowed to enter.

Inside the laboratory.

The dozens of lush saplings stood in stark contrast to the bright red flesh beside them; no one would have imagined that these two things would become the experimental materials for the next experiment.

"Therefore, Project Tree of Flesh and Blood shall officially begin."

As Jiang Shuzhou spoke, the area was completely sealed off by the magic array, and not a single trace of magical fluctuations or abyssal pollution leaked out.

Soon, a month passed. During this time, Jiang Shuzhou hardly appeared in front of anyone else. He was so immersed in the art of alchemy that he had no idea what the world was like.

Until this day.

"Tree of Flesh and Blood version 8.0, successful!"

Looking at the small saplings in front of him, Jiang Shuzhou smiled with satisfaction.

The creation of the Tree of Flesh is far simpler than imagined, but controlling it is far more difficult than imagined.

In previous versions, the Tree of Flesh was out of control, or rather, the influence of the Abyss was too severe, making it impossible to control.

However, the unpredictability of the abyss is not necessarily a bad thing.

As we all know, the two most difficult problems in the path of flesh and blood are how to mass-produce and where to get the materials.

However, both of these issues have now been resolved by Jiang Shuzhou.

Mass production of creations was not originally Jiang Shuzhou's main focus, but it was what the Abyss excelled at.

Therefore, when the third-generation Tree of Flesh and Blood was born, it gave Jiang Shuzhou a big surprise.

It produced enormous fruits, but inside the fruits were not meat, but demons.

Jiang Shuzhou's heart skipped a beat. He had just gotten a rare item instead of a common one.

So Jiang Shuzhou didn't interfere until the fruit fell and the demon actually hatched.

Jiang Shuzhou easily destroyed these demons, and then he began to study the Tree of Flesh and Blood.

Finally, after struggling for a long time, Jiang Shuzhou understood.

This Tree of Flesh possesses a life template pre-made by the Abyss, which it can use to produce flesh, thereby directly giving birth to demons.

Unfortunately, Jiang Shuzhou, the template for the demon, only learned the lowest-level demon, the Fearful Demon, and was unable to analyze anything after that.

The Abyss is too chaotic, and so is its demon template. At first glance, it looks like a mess of scribbles, and it is still corrupting. It's good enough if you can decipher even one of them.

Jiang Shuzhou drank purification potions and endured the pollution to forcibly analyze it, which is how he successfully learned how to create demons.

Although this thing is completely useless, after all, its strength is low, and who would dare to create this thing on a large scale in the main plane for war?

I think you owe the Druid a big hand fan.

These people are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. Instead of fighting the Abyss for its own gain, they target other people.

However, it is said that druids have joined the Imperial forces, but I don't know if that's true.

However, just because it's useless in direct warfare doesn't mean it's useless elsewhere.

After all, this thing can be used as a poison gas bomb, and you can just throw it into the enemy's territory.

When the pollution of the Abyss intensifies, some Fallen Ones will inevitably learn to summon Abyss portals without any instruction, and that will be quite a mess.

Most importantly, Jiang Shuzhou can now produce abyssal pus indefinitely.

All you need to do is create an automated slaughtering machine to kill the spawned demons, and they'll turn into pus. This is much simpler and safer than using the Abyss Cube to open a portal and farm pus.

After all, the Abyss Portal itself causes pollution. It can be opened at will in polluted areas, but if it were in a normal place, it would cause a major disaster.

Problems will definitely be discovered.

Given Jiang Shuzhou's current strength, once it's revealed that he possesses the Abyss Cube, he definitely won't be able to protect it.

Without a doubt, the Abyss is indeed a master of the Way of Flesh and Blood. This kind of advanced knowledge is given away casually, and the Abyss will generously bestow it upon you as long as you can learn it.

The side effects were quite significant; even now, Jiang Shuzhou still has a slight headache.

Although the Tree of Flesh 3.0 was excellent, Jiang Shuzhou couldn't control it, so it was humanely destroyed.

Jiang Shuzhou then created several other versions, but he still couldn't control them.

Until the current version 8.0.

This time, Jiang Shuzhou, for the first time ever, did not allow the power of the abyss to take the lead.

Then, Jiang Shuzhou succeeded.

He finally understood why he had failed before.

Because the actual creator of those flesh and blood trees was not Jiang Shuzhou, but Abyss, the control naturally lies with Abyss.

The previous weapon was successful entirely because the Abyss was not heavily involved and did not regard it as a living being, but as a weapon, so it did not interfere.

"Indeed, the master leads you through the door, but the cultivation depends on yourself."

Relying solely on the abyss will not work.

Looking at the Tree of Flesh 8.0, or rather the Mother Tree of Flesh, that he was holding in his hands.

It's still a sapling now, but it will soon be growing.

The Blood and Flesh Mother Tree can not only photosynthesize and grow like an ordinary sapling, but it can also absorb elements to grow rapidly, or various kinds of power, including abyssal pus.

The flesh and blood it can produce are not just ordinary flesh and blood, but flesh and blood with a class, the flesh and blood of extraordinary beings.

The lack of superhuman flesh and blood is why the Gospel of Flesh and Blood is so monstrous.

The most numerous extraordinary beings in the primary plane are humans.

At least until he reaches a higher level, Jiang Shuzhou no longer needs to worry about flesh and blood.

And the role of the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood is not limited to this.

It can also mass-produce these creatures by devouring flesh and blood, and after Jiang Shuzhou's human-analyzed input template, as long as there is enough nutrition.

However, we should forget about using it for large-scale troop production for now.

The current mother tree cannot support large-scale production, and it will remain so even after it grows up.

However, it should be fine for small-scale production; a few thousand units would be enough.

In terms of loyalty, the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood is beyond question. Jiang Shuzhou went to great lengths, using every secret technique in the Gospel of Flesh and Blood.

It can be said that he completely controlled the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood. In fact, the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood had no consciousness at all. Jiang Shuzhou's will was the will of the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood.

Furthermore, as the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood evolves, the connection between them will deepen.

After observing the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood for a while, Jiang Shuzhou returned to his research.

He wants to plant a second one.

Unfortunately, he failed.

For four whole days, more than 30 times, without exception, all of them failed.

Failures are also illogical, such as when something is almost finished but suddenly falls apart, or when the correct proportions are no longer usable.

All of these things lead Jiang Shuzhou to one conclusion.

"Could this be a rare artifact?"
