nAfter Klein finished studying, he took a look at the synthesis list.

nThe Perfect Runic Greenhouse was 20 meters long, three meters wide, and two meters tall.

nIt needed 3 earth runes, 1 fire runes, 2 water runes, 20 wood, and 20 iron.

nThe planting shed occupied a relatively large area.

nIt definitely wouldn’t work on the second floor.

nIt could only be placed in the runic base on the first floor. Now that it was more than 20 meters wide and long, it could accommodate a planting friend.

nHowever, it was a little ugly and took up a lot of space.

nKlein placed quite a number of items on the first floor of the runic base, including the vegetables and food he had gathered in the previous catacombs. All of them were on the first floor.

nThe second floor was relatively clean and belonged to the living area. No one wanted to live in a mess.

nThey were all piled up on the first floor. It was better to be out of sight. Now that he had the wine starter, he could brew Rice Wine at noon. Klein put away all the items.

nThe biggest harvest from unpacking this time was the greenhouse. He had also harvested a batch of seeds from the vegetables excavated in the previous catacombs. It was just enough to plant them.

nHowever, if it was just reclamation, a single greenhouse was still insufficient.

nHe could only wait until the runic base was upgraded again before he considered expanding the greenhouse. The prerequisite was that the base’s area could be expanded again after it was upgraded.

nHe went to the next catacomb.

nKlein had five excavations left for the day. It was almost lunchtime, so he planned to dig another catacomb. If the terrain was suitable, he would choose to camp here. Most of the ground here was covered in lava, so the runic base couldn’t be expanded.

nIf you digging upwards, you will break into the Fire Ants’ nest. Although they cannot harm you, they will do damage the runic base.

nThere is a xenogeneic in the catacomb on the left.

nBe careful. The nearby Withered Vine Monsters are hiding in the bushes, waiting for the greedy fish to take the bait.

nIn the catacomb on the right, a few kobolds are preparing lunch. You can rush in to snatch their lunch and starve them.

nHe wouldn’t get anything if he dug forward, but if he dug backward, he would get a few wooden treasure chests.

nKlein decisively chose the left. There was another xenogeneic. Whether it was for sale or for his own use, it was extremely valuable.

nLooking at the information on the Withered Vine Monster, Klein opened the illustration, and the results came out.

nWithered Vine Monster: Looks like a bunch of creeping creatures. They often lurk in the bushes, waiting for creatures to approach them. Then, they will use the iron-woven withered vines to entangle the creatures, dragging them into the bushes, and strangling them alive before sucking their blood.

nAbility: Five Whips of Lightning.

nWeakness: Fear of fire.

nDanger Factor: 32

nFive Whips of Lightning: Quickly swing the vine to strike five times in a breath. It also has a paralyzing effect. Lasts for one second. Cooldown time: 60 minutes.

nSince the Withered Vine was afraid of fire, everything was easy.

nKlein took out his shovel and dug 30 meters.

nThe tunnel was dug through.

nA man and two beasts entered the next catacomb.

nThe 47th catacomb.

nKlein thought to himself.

nIn front of him was an open plain.

nThere were many crushed stones inside.

nThere was a protruding stone pillar in the middle. If nothing went wrong, the xenogeneic must be above it.

nApart from a few bushes, there was nothing else nearby.

nWas the Withered Vine Monster hiding inside? It looked like walking towards the xenogeneic to the bushes would block the way.

nKlein stopped in his tracks. He was ten meters away from the bushes. Even at such a close distance, he was unable to find the location of the Withered Vine Monster. Its disguise was too brilliant.

nKlein was careful that there was a Withered Vine Monster lurking inside. He only knew that there was a problem after checking the hint. Boom!

nThe Firestorm Saber ignited as Klein slowly approached.

nLess than five meters away, a reptile covered in withered rattan jumped out from the bushes. It wasn’t attacking Klein, but it was fleeing backward.

nSoon, Withered Vine Monsters began to flee from a few bushes.

nThere was no need for Klein to make a move. The high temperature of the Firestorm Saber was enough to intimidate.

n‘That scary?’

nKlein laughed.

nWithout needing him to personally make a move, the Withered Vine Monsters had already fled. They huddled in a corner far away to guard against him.

nAt the same time, they made some strange sounds, as though they were threatening Klein to not act rashly.

nKlein continued to check every bush to see that there was no longer any danger. It reminded him of the plants that looked like bushes. The branches were full, and the bright red fruits were indeed tempting.

nIf one didn’t know the truth, it was easy to fall for it. Then, they would be ambushed by the Withered Vine Monster, which looked like a bunch of twirling vines. Many vines were intertwined together.

nTheir eyes were so red that they hid in the shrub. Their eyes were no different from fruits, allowing them to hide very well.

n“Little Fox, Little Wind, help me keep an eye on the inventory.”

nKlein planned to finish collecting the xenogeneic and plants first.

nThe stone pillar was three meters tall, and the xenogeneic was at the top.

nKlein flew into the air, took out his dagger, and slowly dug.

nHalf a minute later, the system reminded him to add as many xenogeneics as possible.

nKlein was stunned.

nA high-quality xenogeneic.

nThe previous xenogeneic was only at the ordinary level.

nA high-quality xenogeneic could be implanted into a living crypt creature and create a body.

nAs long as it was watered every day, an endless amount of meat could be produced, and the fresh meat produced would greatly increase in taste.

nUnlike ordinary xenogeneics, a high-quality xenogeneic could improve the taste of meat.

n‘That’s right. A second meat field should be set up today.’

nKlein especially went to check the teardrop bushes on the ground.
