Chapter 848: Brown Powder

848. Brown Powder

"What is this?"

Scarlatti stood beside the container, looking at the brown powder inside, and asked curiously.

"...I don't know either."

Lin Ye had no idea how the Deep Well Substance transformation worked, so naturally, he had no clue what use this brown powder transformed from it might have.

But he could test the properties of this brown powder through experiments. For him, this wasn't a difficult task at all.

The web base was expanding outward, and Lin Ye used those invisible silk strands to entangle a Deep Well creature.

That Deep Well creature tried to break free from the silk strands wrapped around it, but since it was already inside the web base, no matter how it struggled, it couldn't escape from the invisible webs.

Before long, that Deep Well creature made of spinal bones and fleshy tumors crawled over, swaying unsteadily.

Eve quickly retreated behind Lin Ye. In previous battles, she was only responsible for opening passageways, not participating in combat.

"Don't worry, this is experimental material."

Under Lin Ye's control, the spinal bone monster quietly lay down beside the container, its body dozens of meters long looking like a coiled flesh train.

Lin Ye didn't directly let the spinal bone monster touch the brown powder. Instead, he took a small piece of flesh sample from the creature's body. This flesh sample still needed to be processed with the Flesh and Blood Rule Fragment before it could be used for the experiment.

Precision would affect the accuracy of the experiment.

The environment here would severely impact the experiment. If he were in a different location, he wouldn't have to go through all this trouble.

"You're also a researcher? I thought you were more skilled at combat."

Scarlatti was paying close attention to the properties of the brown powder. She knew very well what kind of nasty stuff Deep Well Substance was, which was why she was so interested in this brown powder transformed from it.

Eve stood nearby observing the experiment process, not disturbing Lin Ye.

"I like solving problems in the simplest way possible. Violence is just a very useful tool."

Lin Ye kept pushing the experiment forward: Deep Well Substance, brown powder, flesh, spiritual energy, mental energy... With too many factors to consider, he could only make preliminary overall inferences first, then gradually revise the conclusions through experiments.

"You can use this powder to trade with the supermarket. Do you want me to gather more materials needed for the manufacturing devices?"

Scarlatti had already recognized the value of the brown powder.

"No need. I've already figured out the principle of the Deep Well Substance Absorption and Purification Device. I can now source materials locally and build an even larger, more efficient Deep Well Substance Absorption and Purification Device... Can't you feel that the concentration of Deep Well Substance in the air has dropped?"

Under Lin Ye's control, the web base had already established a massive biological device in the distance, and this biological device was still continuously proliferating.

Those Deep Well creatures were ready-made biological materials. With Lin Ye's understanding of fleshy structures, anything mechanical devices could accomplish, biological devices could do just as well.

The silk strands of the web base turned out to be surprisingly useful. As long as he stabbed the silk strands into those Deep Well creatures' bodies, Lin Ye could remotely modify their body structures.

As long as he built enough biological devices, he could gather all the Deep Well Substance inside this world into one place.

"So what else do you need? I want to trade for some brown powder."

As a 'partner' of the cult, Scarlatti needed to make preparations in advance.

"Don't rush. This is just the initial product, not even half-finished. When the experiment is over, I'll give you some finished products as payment for that information."

After learning how to use the silk strands, Lin Ye used them to build an advanced biological laboratory that could eliminate various interfering factors, and began conducting higher-precision experiments inside the laboratory.

"I'm looking forward to it. But at your current pace, the cult members should be arriving soon. You'd better prepare to welcome your guests."

Scarlatti retreated back into the supermarket. She still belonged to the neutral faction and couldn't intervene in the battle between Lin Ye and the cult.

"I prefer to be prepared in advance. Those cult members are already late. Hopefully the cult won't disappoint me."

For Lin Ye, running experiments actually helped take his mind off things. Welcoming guests was much simpler.

A massive spider phantom appeared in the sky. Its body was so enormous that the entire sky could only accommodate a single one of its limbs.

"Is there anything I can do?"

Eve didn't want to just stand by and watch. She wanted to do something.

"I need you to open passageways to other worlds. This world's Deep Well Substance is almost completely absorbed. I need more Deep Well Substance."

Once the Deep Well Substance was gone, Lin Ye could spread his Parasitism Network across this world. He wanted to establish a Parasitism Network covering all worlds.

The web base also needed to extend into other worlds. All of this required Eve to open passageways to other worlds.

"Okay... Can we deal with the Surface Layer world first?"

Eve hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Wherever you open the passageway, that's where we'll go."

Lin Ye didn't care about the order. He still had many experiments to complete.

As for the cult members and cult bases in this Plane, Lin Ye could simply bulldoze through them with the web base.

As long as the other side didn't run away, the web base would eventually cover their position.

If they fled directly, then Lin Ye had no choice either. He didn't have a way to seal off an entire Plane.

"...I want to deal with the Surface Layer world first."

Eve opened a passageway to the previous world.

"Then you should use a large amount of Deep Well Substance to directly open a passageway to the Surface Layer world. Walking through one deep world at a time like this, the Surface Layer world would have long been destroyed by the time you get there."

Lin Ye stabilized the passageway with silk strands while reminding her.

"Can I even do something like that?"

Eve had never tried opening a passageway that cut directly through multiple layers of worlds.

"If you can't, then we can only let those survivors struggling in the Surface Layer world wait for death. There's nothing we can do about it. After all, you're the only one who can open passageways to different worlds."

Lin Ye replied casually.

Eve said nothing. It was no longer a question of whether she could open that passageway. It was that she absolutely had to open that passageway.

"Strange, the cult members still haven't shown up?"

Scarlatti stood at the supermarket entrance, saying with some confusion.

"The Deep Well creatures they sent to scout ahead have already been dealt with by me."

Lin Ye could easily handle enemies who broke into the web base.

"Is the cult's reaction really this slow?"

Based on Scarlatti's judgment, the cult members should have discovered the problem here long ago.

This meant the cult members were likely busy doing something else.
