The Flesh Factory is a distinctive building of the Blood Ring Empire.
The Blood Ring Fortress' army of mutants, driven by the instinct of evolution, craves the blood and flesh of the living.
The mutants are gluttons; if left unchecked to feast, there won't be enough ordinary people at the bottom to feed them. At most, in one or two years, the entire Scandinavian Peninsula would be devoured clean!
When the mutants lose their source of blood and flesh, they too are doomed.
The Blood Ring Emperor, Gustav, is a monarch with grand ambition.
Gustav's fame in actual history was much greater than Duke William's. He single-handedly established an empire spanning the Baltic Sea, known as the "Northern Lion"!
In the evolved supernatural element-added real history of the world of the [Flesh and Blood Plague] series, Gustav was naturally a warlord of a region. Early on, when establishing the Blood Ring Fortress, he was already aware of the importance of "sustainable development," strictly restraining the low-level mutant soldiers from wantonly devouring ordinary civilians.
He ordered the Royal Alchemy Academy to create mimicry flesh using grain.
It sounds rather fantastical, but in later times, there is "plant-based meat," which uses plant proteins from soybeans, peas, wheat, and other crops as raw material, processed through a series of isolation and extraction steps to give plant-based meat the texture of animal meat.
Even though 17th century Sweden did not have the technological level of later times, the development of the Flesh and Blood Alchemy discipline in the Blood Ring Empire was unrivaled in the world, and research on flesh and blood alchemy had a natural advantage in this regard.
This is a world with supernatural powers. Alchemy can easily achieve turning stone into gold, so the emerging Flesh and Blood Alchemy creation of mimicry flesh is not difficult.
The factories producing mimicry flesh are called "Flesh Factories," where trucks of grain raw materials from various farms are brought in, and cans of fresh mimicry flesh become military rations, delivered to every unit of the mutant army.
Of course, mimicry flesh ultimately cannot replace real flesh, nor can it satisfy the bloodthirsty desires of the Blood Ring mutants.
The Blood Ring Empire merely uses the binding power of the Blood Ring Curse Seal to suppress the bloodthirsty desires of the mutant army. This desire is like a flood, which, once accumulated for a long time, will break through the dam and burst forth with violent destructive power!
Thus, the Blood Ring Empire is constantly at war, ravaging enemy lands, leaving behind brutal and merciless legends in the kingdoms of the Norwegians in the western border and the realms of the Slavs in the east!
Bai Pu reached the Flesh Factory in Ista Town, discovering that the Blood Ring Death Plague team guarding the entrance had been annihilated. Inside the factory, the sounds of fighting echoed continuously, indicating an intense battle was underway!
Bai Pu didn't enter through the main door; he climbed up the side wall and used a large banyan tree as cover to slip into the factory.
[You have entered the area where the Otherworld Space-Time Node is located, straight-line distance 150 meters.]
[You have temporarily gained the ability to call for space support. This ability can only be activated against the Otherworld Space-Time Node. Upon use, it will manifest the Otherworld Space-Time Node, converting the void space-time energy into durability, which can be consumed and cleared by attacking it.]
Before Bai Pu's eyes, a virtual blood-colored arrow appeared, pointing directly into the Flesh Factory!
"It seems the Spirit Realm Will is really concerned about the invading 'Otherworld Space-Time Node.' Could this be what Crazy Zen mentioned, an event that might affect the great trend of the main battlefield?"
Bai Pu felt a yearning; the main battlefield is the stage where peak Awakened beings fight against each other! I wonder what kind of grand and majestic battles take place on the main battlefield.
Bai Pu feared his Mental Scan would be detected by enemy counter-reconnaissance, so he refrained from using it. Instead, he transformed his spiritual power into a thin film close to his body, minimizing any noise as he quietly infiltrated.
Inside the workshop of the Flesh Factory, a Blood Ring Powerhouse wearing an ox horn helmet and blood-patterned heavy armor was engaged in fierce combat with two enemies Bai Pu had never seen before!
The appearance of those two enemies was bizarre. Although they had human limbs and shapes, their faces and backs grew sea-blue fish fins, and their eyelids were like moist membranes, much like fish.
In Bai Pu's field of vision, those two fish-people-like guys emitted a faint red glow, and the Spirit Realm Will's prompt came again:
[You have discovered an Otherworld Traveler. Killing Otherworld Travelers will earn you Honor Points.]
Bai Pu knew that Honor Points must be something valuable.
Otherworld Travelers should be hostile Awakened sent by the opposing Spirit Realm! These guys come to the Spirit Realm to wreak havoc with undisclosed intentions, but the Spirit Realm Will clearly despises them.
The conflict between Bai Pu and the Awakened of the Superstar Alliance is viewed by the Spirit Realm Will as "internal conflicts among the people," while the Otherworld Travelers are definite external enemies!
Normally, the Honor Points rewarded for taking down foreign enemies are much more valuable than the Bloody Treasure Chests obtained from intra-Awakened conflicts.
Bai Pu tossed a [Nine Chapters] to the Blood Ring Powerhouse in heavy armor.
[Mad Rhino Luz (Enhanced Elite Level 5)]
[Species: Humanoid Species/Human Race]
[Attributes: Power 60, Agility 34, Endurance 45, Spirit 21]
[Skill 1: Giant Rhinoceros Heart: Luz gains an additional 800 Life Value.]
[Skill 2: Ring of Shock: Luz explosively unleashes Blood Fighting Qi, causing shock damage to all nearby enemies and reducing their movement speed and attack speed.]
[Skills 3~5: ???]
This Blood Ring Powerhouse named "Mad Rhino Luz" is evidently the leader of Ista Town's Blood Ring Team.
The two Otherworld Travelers besieging Mad Rhino Luz are clearly in a dominant position. However, Mad Rhino Luz's heavy armor is of superior quality, providing incredible damage reduction, and combined with additional Life Value, making him truly hard to kill!
If they press too hard, they'll have to endure the dual slowdown of the [Ring of Shock], which greatly reduces their output, not to mention the high likelihood of being counterattacked by Mad Rhino Luz's high power!
Therefore, the two opt for a hit-and-run tactic, slowly eroding Mad Rhino Luz's blood volume with toxins. They reserve more focus on guarding against external threats.
This is normal, and Bai Pu would do the same.
Because these two Otherworld Travelers are invaders! Invading an opposing Spirit Realm, it's no exaggeration to say they're "enemies of the world." They need to deal with the enemy before them, but more importantly, they must guard against hidden enemies!
Using the blood-colored virtual arrow, Bai Pu already knows the location of the "Otherworld Space-Time Node," just in the adjacent workshop!
Bai Pu circled outside the workshop of the Flesh Factory, making some preparations before stepping into the workshop.
As he stepped in, a blue ripple immediately rose around Bai Pu! A forceful binding force emerged.
Inside the workshop where the Otherworld Space-Time Node was located, a slightly mocking voice came, speaking in an obscure language, like the whisperings of marine creatures, but the tone of mockery was unmistakable to anyone.
It turns out there are not just two Otherworld Travelers present, but three!
Two of them went to clear Ista Town, wiping out all visible life — whether Blood Ring Mutants or ordinary humans.
The remaining one stayed in the workshop, guarding the Space-Time Node!
If all three simultaneously besiege Mad Rhino Luz, they could indeed drastically shorten the time to slay him. But should a master of concealment sneak into the workshop during this time and destroy the Space-Time Node, their mission would most likely fail.
