Bai Pu saw that he couldn't kill the Level 4 Enhanced Elite within a few strikes, so he changed tactics. He concentrated his last two strikes on Blood Shaver's leg, forcibly chopping it off.
Having lost its greatest speed advantage, Blood Shaver's fierce aura greatly diminished, and it could only rely on the wall, fighting like a cornered beast.
Its sense of pain was already half-numbed, and now, even having a leg severed did not affect its fighting spirit, nor did it give rise to any thought of escape.
In terms of combat skills, Blood Shaver was quite formidable. It specialized in dual-wielding single-handed weapons and had reached Advanced Level 5! It was the kind of character that excelled in sustained output; once an opportunity presented itself, its dual hooks would spin like a whirlwind, attacking as frantically as mincing meat.
However, Bai Pu's combat skills were even stronger at this moment, advancing to Level 7, though lacking the special effects of Level 7.
With technical suppression, although Bai Pu was at a disadvantage in agility, his strength was superior, allowing him to fully leverage his advantages, striking with grand and bold moves, frequently targeting the enemy's crucial points.
The sound of the sharp long saber and the hook weapon clashing was incessant, each strike expanding the flaws on Blood Shaver's body. The final strike slashed diagonally downwards, opening a grievous wound across Blood Shaver's chest and abdomen, spilling green fluids mixed with the sickly green of its innards all over the ground!
Blood Shaver lay on the ground, its blood-red body trembling slightly, clearly having lost its combat capability.
Bai Pu, however, thought of something.
The detection from [Nine Chapters] clearly showed that Blood Shaver had five skills.
But Blood Shaver only exhibited four: Mutant Transformation, Strong Acid Vomit, Vibrating Sound Break, and Choke Slam!
The final skill was never used, even until death, so this skill must be...
Upon thinking this, Bai Pu immediately retreated! Moreover, he did so without any consideration for form, rolling backward.
The body of Blood Shaver in front of him began to swell as if it were being inflated.
Then... boom!
Amidst the violent explosion, countless remnants and fragments of flesh shot indiscriminately in all directions!
Three pieces landed on Bai Pu, with the strong acidity instantly dissolving the three spots of skin tissue they touched! Fortunately, he was currently in the [Mucous Membrane Coating] evolution state, with mucous membranes continually generating on his body surface, providing strong resistance against acidic corrosion, allowing him to withstand it.
[You have killed the Level 4 Enhanced Elite: Blood Shaver.]
[Due to the special connection between Blood Shaver and Demon General Ghost Leather, Demon General Ghost Leather received the news of the nest being attacked and will arrive at Yellow Pool within 60 minutes.]
These two alerts were clearly compensation from the Spirit Realm Will.
Because Blood Shaver, as a demon undergoing Mutant Transformation, had power that was no less than a Level 4 Leader! Especially in this terrifying strong acid environment, the threat it posed to Bai Pu was even greater than that of Mother of Jiang Tuo.
Its endurance and spirit attributes were just a bit lacking; otherwise, it would definitely fit a Leader Template.
Bai Pu took a deep breath, dragged his weary body, picked up Blood Shaver's dark blue treasure chest, and then moved to the skull oil lamp.
He examined it and found several nearly imperceptible rotational marks on the base of the skull oil lamp. With Bai Pu's powerful observation skills, he could even determine the direction of these marks, and approximately how many turns were made each time!
Bai Pu turned the skull oil lamp.
With a light rumble, a hidden door opened, revealing a small chamber in front of him!
Inside, there was an item placed.
A small purple bottle.
Bai Pu took a breath and reached out to grab the small purple bottle.
[You have obtained the Black Emperor's True Blood.]
[Black Emperor's True Blood: Spirit Realm Wonder. The true blood essence of the Black Emperor in slumber, containing powerful demonic energy that can transform demons completely.]
[Note: Due to the powerful demonic energy seal on this bottle, you cannot take it out of this world. The demonic energy seal can last up to 24 hours, and during this period, Demon General Ghost Leather can track your location.]
Black Emperor!
The entire Heart Demon World, the ultimate BOSS of the Demon Camp.
Note, this not only includes the [Heart Demon: Oath] region but also other higher-level regions of the Heart Demon World, such as the [Heart Demon: Great Wilderness River] and [Heart Demon: Black Heaven Descent] areas!
Seeing this item, Bai Pu felt an indescribable excitement welling up inside him!
If the [Demon Lord's Skull] were to devour the true blood of the Black Emperor, the equipment it would eventually solidify into... how powerful would it be?
"Huff, huff..."
Bai Pu forced himself to calm down. He glanced at the small purple bottle and stored it in his Storage Space, then applied a layer of Emergency First Aid Ointment on himself.
As his Life Value slowly recovered, Bai Pu walked out of Demon General Ghost Leather's den and sat cross-legged in the center of the small island to rest and recuperate.
Bai Pu casually opened Blood Shaver's dark blue treasure chest, gaining two draw opportunities and the privilege to exclude 10 low-valued cards.
From the number of draws, the power evaluation of the Level 4 Enhanced Elite Blood Shaver was equivalent to a Level 3 Leader demon—Ox Demon Commander. Of course, due to the strong acid environment, the threat it posed to Bai Pu was even greater than the Ox Demon Commander.
Bai Pu was somewhat expectant. This type of enhanced elite has a certain probability of dropping hero-level equipment.
Excluding low-valued cards, Bai Pu selected two deep blue cards.
The first draw, he drew a card.
[B-level Enhancement Card: Use during the clearance settlement interface, when enhancing equipment. For the next (2) equipment enhancements, even if the enhancement fails, the existing enhancement level will not be lost.]
[Warning: B-level Enhancement Cards cannot prevent equipment damage.]
It actually produced an enhancement card.
Bai Pu had some understanding of the intelligence on strengthening equipment. During the clearance settlement, there will be a chance to enhance equipment. Each enhancement requires the consumption of spiritual points. The higher the enhancement level and the better the equipment material, the more spiritual points it costs for each enhancement.
Once equipment is enhanced to +4 (including +4), the failure rate of enhancement significantly increases. Each enhancement failure resets the enhancement level to zero.
The B-level Enhancement Card can prevent this from happening.
When equipment is enhanced to +7 (including +7), the failure rate further increases. Enhancement failure will cause equipment damage!
This is beyond the scope of loss prevention for a B-level Enhancement Card.
Therefore, B-level Enhancement Cards are generally used before +7, so their value is not very high. What is truly valuable is the A-level Enhancement Card, which is comparable to top-grade golden equipment.
The second deep blue card turned out to be a skill book—Choke Slam!
Choke Slam, a two-star rare skill.
Bai Pu was eager to learn this skill, but the skill conditions required him to be unarmed or hold a grappling odd-shaped weapon (such as the hook of a Blood Shaver).
Bai Pu could only store it away for now. However, this powerful throwing skill is definitely sought after by many throwing profession Awakens, so finding a buyer won't be a problem.
After resting for about ten minutes on the island at the center of the Yellow Pool, Bai Pu's life value had recovered to a healthy line. He once again took out the item: Corpse Raft, placed it on the water surface of the Yellow Pool, tapped his toe, and quickly left.
The surrounding yellow-striped Ghost Frogs, as usual, attacked Bai Pu with their thorn tongues, giving Bai Pu a farewell ceremony, while the rotting corpse ghosts under the water all tried to grab onto the raft and climb aboard.
Bai Pu could only take out his battered shield once again.
These shields were the standard shields Bai Pu exchanged using merit points from the Sun Quan's Army camp during his last scene in Three Kingdoms: Chibi. At the time, he thought they would be useful when pursuing the grand general of Cao Camp, so he exchanged for quite a few.
After all, the standard shields had low durability, were made of poor material, and were easily damaged.
Now there were only two shields left in his storage space...
Pop! Pop-pop!
Looking at the shields pierced by thorn tongues, exposing several transparent holes, Bai Pu helplessly tossed them back into his storage space.
Alright, now only the last one is left.
With difficulty, Bai Pu escaped the Yellow Pool and reached the shore.
Behind him, six yellow-striped Ghost Frogs relentlessly pursued, their hopping sounds echoing one after another. They were demons with the specialty of agility, and even though Bai Pu reached the shore, he couldn't outrun them.
Bai Pu snorted. You've brought this upon yourselves. If you insist on pursuing after reaching the shore, don't blame me—luckily, the Demon Lord's Skull is hungry!
Bai Pu suddenly turned around!
The surface of the Strong Strike Armor ignited with the flesh and blood spell, the effect of Gravity Ball activated, causing the pursuing yellow-striped Ghost Frogs to be absorbed with a boom!
At the same time, Bai Pu tore open a scroll, and two thick, spiked vines lashed out, striking the yellow-striped Ghost Frogs in their path, reducing their movement speed by another 10 points!
C-level Item: [Strangling Vine]!
As such, the movement speed of the yellow-striped Ghost Frogs had already been reduced to single digits!
Bai Pu raised his long saber.
After successive battles, both of Bai Pu's accessories had already entered cooldown, so his output capability was significantly reduced.
However, Bai Pu's own advancement of Level 4 Two-Handed Swordsmanship Specialization, along with the Level 4 Effect Wind-Seeking, still ensured a basic level of output. The shield value drawn by the flesh and blood spell was also Bai Pu's strong survival assurance!
Seeing that the situation was not favorable, the yellow-striped Ghost Frogs intelligently scattered and fled! Although their speed had been reduced to single digits, once they got out of the range of Gravity Ball's pull, they could naturally recover most of their movement speed.
Bai Pu, unable to clone himself, in the limited 120 seconds of duration, only managed to chase down three yellow-striped Ghost Frogs!
Watching helplessly as the remaining three Ghost Frogs escaped with residual health, Bai Pu could only give up, choosing to pick up three blue treasure chests and temporarily store the bodies of the three elite yellow-striped Ghost Frogs in his storage space.
These three demon corpses naturally couldn't be taken out of this world.
Suddenly, a black silhouette in the distance swooped down like an eagle with its whole body wrapped in a thick black fog. With a flash of its scythe, it decapitated the head of one severely injured Ghost Frog!
