Synthesis success meant Bai Ye's theory was confirmed.
His Shelter could use the synthesized metal for unique evolution, gaining special traits.
This was excellent.
He remembered in his previous life many people's Shelter evolution used the same materials, making their features easy to identify and countered by special methods.
This time, no worries.
"Too bad I still don't have enough synthesis attempts," he sighed.
If he had enough, maybe he could evolve the Shelter today.
The metal was perfect for first evolution.
"No worries, first evolution needs only a few materials. I'll synthesize all I need over the next days."
"And the talent can be upgraded, daily synthesis attempts will increase."
Bai Ye smiled and opened his Backpack again, looking at the unnamed metal.
He decided to name it Soul-Fusing Gold.
[Succeeded in naming.]
This metal had strong spirit-blocking power, similar to Spirit-Blocking Stone.
Spirits meant ghosts.
In early dark times, spirits were humanity's biggest fear — able to pass through walls, making shelters unsafe.
Spirit-Blocking Stone was commonly used for Shelter evolution for defense.
Soul-Fusing Gold was stronger, also absorbing spirits.
Exact effects unknown but likely better.
Bai Ye used his last synthesis attempt on Soul-Fusing Gold.
Deep Sea Scales and Light-Absorbing Crystal were left for later.
Synthesis done.
Now, time to explore the pyramid.
He called Tiger Mom to Watchtower top.
"Tiger Mom, like yesterday, please."
"Roar."
Tiger Mom nodded and blew cold breath, freezing an ice path.
The flood roared, with monsters passing.
After Tiger Mom left, Bai Ye ran on the ice path, boosted by Clearwind Boots, much faster than before.
Still, Deep Divers noticed and tried to block him.
Quickly, Bai Ye killed them all, collecting scales and blood.
After killing about a dozen Deep Divers, he reached his destination.
The ice path melted behind him.
The gale howled like heaven's roar.
A white figure flashed in the flood.
"Damn, another Baby God?"
His eyes twitched; he hurriedly jumped down the passage and closed the entrance.
He did not want to face the Baby God.
Just imagining a giant baby-faced monster approaching while drowning was terrifying — scarier than any horror movie.
Exploration of the pyramid was more promising.
He entered the familiar corridor, confident after yesterday's trap.
He arrived at the obsidian door.
"This time, I won't fall for it."
He smiled, propped a piece of wood against the door, and pushed hard.
The door trembled and slowly opened.
His character was unharmed, not poisoned.
Inside was a large, empty hall, with stone pillars carved with mysterious patterns.
At the far end was another closed obsidian door, leading to the next floor.
But Bai Ye's attention was caught elsewhere — a glowing rune floating in midair, and two chests in different spots: a Black Iron Chest and a...
"Bronze Chest?!"
He recognized its glow, surprised and excited.
Bronze Chest was a higher tier than Black Iron, with better loot chance.
His decision to explore here was right.
Suddenly, a roar snapped him back.
A huge blood-red monster stood in the hall, eyes cruelly fixed on Bai Ye.
"The Butcher!"
He recognized the creature and shuddered.
The Butcher looked like an obese, skinless mass of flesh, grotesque and bulky.
Most frightening were its two heads on the neck — one human, one dog.
An alchemist's creation — a fusion monster, powerful.
"Looks like a tough fight ahead."
Bai Ye murmured, gripping his tachi, preparing.
At the same time, the Butcher roared again, its dog head opening wide, spitting a fireball...
