Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Fusion Lamp Tree Crystals
After Bai Qilan left, Su Han went to a position behind buildings nine and ten.
This area was not part of the villa\'s small courtyard, but it was also not close to other villas, adjoining a grassy area instead.
Ordinarily, this would have been a lush green lawn with a slight slope, perfect for post-dinner walks. A few hundred meters further, one could reach Shady Road and the banks of Yunling Lake.
However, now the whole lawn was shrouded in fog. From a distance, one could only see dark shadows flickering in and out of the mysterious, tranquil mist.
The radiant light of the Lamp Trees in the front yard did not reach here, leaving the area dark and foggy. Closer inspection revealed the withered yellow grass.
Su Han arrived in this open space, followed by the warrior spider.
He looked around and, seeing that the area was not small, the Book of Blood Spirit in his hand flashed red light as he summoned the Human-faced Tree.
The towering Human-faced Tree almost blended into the mist entirely, its branches spreading and drooping down, gently swaying.
"Roar,"
The Human-faced Tree let out a low roar. Su Han took out a small bag of Lamp Tree Crystals—six in total, large and small, all plucked from several Lamp Trees recently.
He opened the black bag, and instantly the light from the Lamp Tree Crystals dispersed the nearby fog.
He picked the smallest crystal from the bag, and under his mental command, the Human-faced Tree extended a vine towards him.
Su Han placed the Lamp Tree Crystal, the size of a pinky fingertip, on its hand and said, "Fusion."

Countless dark threads sprawled out, enveloping the tiny Lamp Tree Crystal, hiding its glow beneath layers of threads.
Then, bit by bit, the crystal fused into the body of the Human-faced Tree until it disappeared completely.
"Half a minute?"
Su Han looked surprised. It took less than half a minute to completely fuse the Lamp Tree Crystal, a speed beyond his expectations, and what shocked him most was the Fusion Degree.
Lamp Tree Crystal Fusion Degree: 3%.
Just one crystal so small had already achieved a 3% Fusion Degree, proving the compatibility between the Human-faced Tree and the Lamp Tree Crystals to be not low.
"Both have plant attributes, no wonder,"
Su Han smiled, pleased by this news. Without any hesitation, he took out the remaining five Lamp Tree Crystals and placed them on the vine.
"Continue fusing."
The largest of the Tree Lamp Crystals was the size of a fist; the rest were the size of thumbs or lychees, not few in number.
Apart from the crystals reserved to illuminate the yards of buildings nine and ten, the only one left in his possession was for scouting.
Soon, as countless dark threads spread out, the Lamp Tree Crystals were rapidly being fused.
10%, 25%, 40%, 69%....
Under his gaze, the Lamp Tree Crystals were fused one by one, and in less than ten minutes, only the largest one remained.
This last one fused almost as fast as the others, with the Fusion Degree also rising slowly, until 90% of this crystal was fused, and finally the Lamp Tree Crystal\'s Fusion Degree was full.

As the fusion completed, the Human-faced Tree suddenly let out a deep roar, and the sound of cracking came from its body.
The branches were extending, and the already more than eight meters tall Human-faced Tree continued growing. Its trunk became thicker, broad enough to be embraced by seven or eight people together, and its height gradually reached ten meters as countless branches spread from its boughs.
The vines became thicker and stronger, and also more active, writhing around like a mass of dancing snakes.
The roots penetrated underground, flexible like vines and strong, continuously spreading across the surrounding land, extending up to three hundred meters.
This three-hundred-meter radius was the domain of the vines, a rudimentary domain.
What surprised Su Han the most was that both the vines and the trunk emitted a faint luminescence, a pale yellow color, which was sufficient to light up the surroundings within ten meters.
"Is this the Radiance of the Lamp Tree?"
Su Han focused and perceived, and information about this skill surged into his mind, inadvertently making his eyes brighter and a smile appear on his lips.
The Radiance of the Lamp Tree, although it could not condense Crystals like the Lamp Tree, could emit a light virtually indistinguishable from that of the Lamp Tree under the stimulation of the Human-faced Tree itself.
The light from the Lamp Tree Crystals could disperse the fog and protect or even promote the growth of plants; it could do the same.
"Radiance of the Lamp Tree."
At Su Han\'s controlled thought, the roots of the Human-faced Tree spread across the ground, piercing through the soil, their tips standing erect just over a meter from the ground.
The tips lit up, emitting a soft, pale yellow light, and the surrounding fog began to dissipate upon contact with this light.
Watching the scene before him, Su Han felt even happier, as the fog was essentially absent within the three-hundred-meter radius.
This also meant that as long as the Human-faced Tree was present, there would be no trouble from the fog, and the entire camp would be easier to manage.
He calmed slightly and made new plans for the Human-faced Tree, commanding, "Extend the vines from the two villas as the center and illuminate the blind spots."
With a low growl, the Human-faced Tree did as Su Han commanded, and soon cries of surprise rang intermittently throughout the camp.
The whole camp quietly lit up, the dispersing fog making it seem as dreamlike as if the lights were blazing before the apocalypse.
"Tap tap tap"
Hurried footsteps approached, and it was not just one person.
Su Han looked over and saw Zhu Xiong and the others, each still holding injections and weapons, looking tense.
"Phew"
Zhu Xiong rushed in front, followed closely by Gan Xinglei, who sighed in relief the moment he saw Su Han and the Human-faced Tree.
It\'s good that it\'s not a monster.
Well, that\'s not right, just that Su Han is the monster is fine.
Zhu Xiong mulled over this in his mind, looked at Su Han, and curiously asked, "Su Han, has it evolved again?"
Su Han\'s Angel Envoy often changed, each change making it markedly stronger, something Zhu Xiong had come to expect.
"A new ability, if the Human-faced Tree is present, it can provide lighting and protection, but it\'s necessary to reserve a portion of the Lamp Tree Crystals; collect the rest later and give them to me."
The latter part of his statement was addressed to Yan Meiyu, who nodded and said, "I understand. How far does it illuminate?"
"Currently, it extends three hundred meters radius around it, why do you ask?"
Yan Meiyu smiled and said, "That\'s perfect, I\'ll expand the land a bit more, as just two small courtyards are not enough."
Besides the original group, there were about forty to fifty people in the camp including those brought back from the recent operation.
The demand for resources was greater, and there were more people able to work, some allocated to combatants and the rest naturally to labor.
"You arrange it then."
He looked at the injections in everyone\'s hands and asked, "Were you wanting to inject?"
Gan Xinglei answered, "We were just about to inject when we noticed something was off and rushed over, but it turned out to be timely, Su Han, would you like to see?"
Su Han smiled and said, "Then let\'s start with Old Zhu. I\'d like to see the effects."
