Gu Su didn't have the mind to carefully check every prompt, nor did he immediately deal with the matter of material conversion. He quickly walked into his dilapidated tent, eager to bring up the attributes panel of the Graveyard Demon.

Just now, he had clearly felt the change in the Graveyard Demon, and this was what he wanted to do most.

As expected, as soon as the attribute panel was brought up, the various data on it came into view. It was no longer the same as before he went on the expedition, and the change was far beyond his expectations.

This made an undisguised surprise flash in Gu Su's eyes, and his breathing even paused slightly.

[Description: The Graveyard Demon is almost repaired, keep going!]

After a quick glance at the attribute panel, Gu Su completely understood all the changes in the Graveyard Demon. The recovery speed of the Graveyard Demon was too fast. The current Graveyard Demon had an area of over six hundred square meters.

Only a little over two hundred square meters were left to reach the complete standard. It is believed that it will not be long before the size standard of the Graveyard Demon can be met, and his Graveyard Demon will no longer be a Pinduoduo knock-off version.

And those withered trees, which were concentrated at the back of the graveyard, were not ordinary withered wood. They were collected by the Graveyard Demon through various means, finally producing the newly added Level 1 attached building, the Withered Wood Forest.

This place could stably produce 1 unit of wood per day. Although the output was not high, it was a stable source of wood.

The two new empty graves under the shade of the withered wood forest were also not ordinary Level 1 empty graves. They were special empty graves formed under the influence of the withered wood forest environment, with fundamental differences from other empty graves.

Just as Gu Su saw, tombstones had already appeared in front of these two empty graves, indicating that they were not following the normal route.

After placing corpses into these two special empty graves, the output was no longer ordinary skeletons, but two completely different choices, each with its own focus.

One was a ghoul, whose combat power was on par with ordinary skeletons, with no significant advantage.

But they had the lumberjack skill and could be used as undead lumberjacks to chop wood in the Withered Wood Forest, effectively improving wood production efficiency and solving the manpower problem for material production.

[Ghoul (Level 0, Summon): Experience (0/100) Attack 1, Defense 1, Health 10, Skill: Lumberjack]

The other was a bone beast, which could be freely chosen between bone dogs and white crows. The biggest advantage of the bone beast was "multiple outputs from one corpse."

A normal corpse could be converted into two bone dogs or three white crows without additional resource consumption, which was extremely cost-effective.

[Bone Dog (Level 0, Summon): Experience (0/50) Attack 1, Defense 0, Health 5, Skill: None]

[White Crow (Level 0, Summon): Experience (0/50) Attack 0, Defense 1, Health 3, Skill: None]

Among these two types of creatures, the bone dogs were agile and had a keen sense of smell. They could be used to patrol and guard around the Graveyard Demon, guarding against sudden invasions by low-level foreign enemies and protecting the territory.

However, their weakness was also quite obvious: they had no defensive power and would die with a single hit.

White crows were small and good at flying, making them difficult for enemies to detect. They could be sent out to scout, investigate surrounding enemy situations, resource points, and potential dangers, providing intelligence support for his expeditions and territorial expansion.

But because of their small size, white crows had no offensive power. They could only see and not fight when they discovered something, which was also a problem.

Both had their own uses and shortcomings, but for Gu Su's territory, they were all a supplement.

As for how to choose and how to allocate them, it depended on his subsequent development needs, and there was no rush to make a decision for the time being.

However, the most important point here was that these empty graves could not be converted into gravestones, only grave mounds. They relied on quantity to win, and there was no such thing as elite.

This was also decided from the beginning and could not be changed.

What surprised Gu Su the most and what he cared about the most was the oil tank centipede corpse that had disappeared out of thin air.

Just as he had guessed before, the oil tank centipede's corpse had been absorbed by the Graveyard Demon.

The reason for absorption was very simple. The oil tank centipede could carry such a large gas station before, so it could also carry a Graveyard Demon after death.

This was the Graveyard Demon's simplest processing and cognition.

The disappearance of the oil-tank centipede's corpse was therefore no accident. It had been successfully absorbed by the earth vein, meaning the repair of the earth vein was one-third complete. This brought him a significant step closer to his wish of moving the graveyard demon.

At the current repair rate, he only needed to find two more specters or wandering souls to act as energy conduits for the earth vein. Then, he would need to install the corresponding mobile power system for the earth vein and supply sufficient power to completely repair this malfunctioning earth vein, granting the graveyard demon true mobility.

Of course, if Gu Su didn't want to follow the quest's instructions, he could always find two more creatures similar to the oil-tank centipede and bring their corpses over.

However, Gu Su didn't believe there were other beings in the vicinity capable of carrying such massive objects.

He decided it would be best to search for suitable materials following the quest's guidelines.

With a clearer understanding of the graveyard demon's recent changes, Gu Su felt considerably more at ease. He pushed open the tent flap and stepped outside.
