Crack, crack...
Su Xiao catalyzed the assembled pseudo-living skeleton with Mana, and he and Bubu Wang were already too busy to spare a moment.
At this moment, Su Xiao wore protective goggles and a loose one-piece leather suit. Various tools were scattered around him: hammers, an oversized electric drill, a plasma-cutting saw, hundreds of test tubes, and more.
Bzzzt...
The plasma-cutting saw spun at high speed. Su Xiao lowered his goggles and began processing several materials that needed to be cut.
Creating a high-level Alchemical Creature couldn't be done through catalysis alone. It also required a certain degree of hands-on skill.
The tedious construction began. The room was intermittently filled with the sounds of cutting and hammering. Only after working nonstop for five full hours did Su Xiao complete the preliminary work.
A "skeleton" over three meters tall stood upright to one side. Large sections of alchemical arrays were engraved across it. A single glance was enough to make one's head spin. Inside the skeleton's rib cage, a core that had undergone dozens of treatments flickered dimly, like a slowly beating heart.
Sitting on the floor with a cigarette between his lips, Su Xiao held a blue awl formed entirely from Mana. He was using it to engrave the arrays—a highly precise task.
Bubu Wang was already lying on the floor, snoring loudly. This idiot couldn't help anymore, so he had simply gone to sleep where he was.
Twelve hours later, a sturdy figure stood inside the laboratory, exuding immense pressure. Two slightly curved horns grew from its head. Their bases were as thick as a grown man's arm, and cold glints flashed across their tips. The horns pointed toward the sky. If it charged after gathering strength, they could definitely pierce through an enemy's body. More importantly, cold air
