Long before Bai Pu entered the workshop, he had already made preparations.

That was half an hour earlier.

Bai Pu first sneaked into the manager's office of the Flesh Factory—the room belonging to "Mad Rhino" Luz. When he came out, he had several small bottles in hand.

Then Bai Pu slipped into the cellar, toppled the large barrels storing blood inside, and poured the powder from the small bottles into them!

Immediately, a rich scent of blood spread out!

Bai Pu also smeared half a bottle of stinky ointment on himself.

The purpose of all this was to lure that terrifying creature lurking in the Ista District: the Blood Mist Butcher!

This was thanks to the log Bai Pu had seized: [Observation Log of the Ista District: Blood Mist Butcher], which recorded the habits and patterns of the Blood Mist Butcher, including...

The method to draw out the Blood Mist Butcher!

Combined with the recent communication from Crazy Zen, it was evident that the Blood Ring was also preparing to capture wild mutant monsters.

For the Blood Ring Empire, which mastered the "Mother" Christina, capturing wild mutant monsters is as simple as marking them with the unique Curse Seal of the Blood Ring, thus enslaving them into the empire's power.

The powder Bai Pu had just poured in was the Blood Mist Butcher's favorite food "seasoning"!

The Blood Mist Butcher rampaged across the peninsula, usually consuming its victims on the spot, but rarely, it would carry the corpses away to enjoy slowly later.

The Blood Ring Fortress found several habitats of the Blood Mist Butcher, collected dozens of incomplete bodies it took, inspected them, and discovered a common trait.

They all had a "Rare Blood" type!

Rare Blood is a term unique to the world of the Flesh and Blood Plague, equivalent to another famous name in Earth's real history of the 20th century—RH-negative blood!

Since over 99% of the population has RH-positive blood, the less than 1% with RH-negative is called "Panda Blood" to signify its rarity.

By mixing a certain amount of alchemy powder into the ordinary mimetic blood, it produces a scent similar to Rare Blood, and in substantial quantities.

The Blood Mist Butcher's sensitivity to Rare Blood was so sharp it was almost supernatural, drawing it in from long distances to this "feast"!

Bai Pu, using the Blood Mist Butcher's recorded appearance and disappearance patterns, had already calculated the potential locations and approximate time it would reach the Flesh Factory.

He chose the timing to break into the teleportation node workshop with precision.

Long before entering the workshop, Bai Pu had guessed that near the workshop's teleportation node hid the backup plans of Otherworld Travelers, at least some magic traps, possibly even a third Traveler.

However, Bai Pu did not expect that the Otherworld Traveler was so formidable, wielding a continuously cast powerful Void Ice Spike Spell, along with displacement and various control methods!

The Template causes slight suppression, and the Level causes major suppression!

Bai Pu did not intend to go ALL IN against this Otherworld Traveler, for it would be difficult to kill, offering little reward while having high costs, affecting his subsequent class transition tasks!

So Bai Pu chose to feign weakness.

Upon discovering that his detection methods were ineffective against the Otherworld Traveler, Bai Pu quickly deduced that the Traveler's insight detection abilities must also be ineffective against him!

Note here that the detection method's ineffectiveness was such that the Spirit Realm Will did not even prompt a detection failure message.

Subsequently, when the opponent cast spells or Bai Pu got hit by Ice Blades, no corresponding combat information prompt was received.

This indicated that the Spirit Realm Will could not "control" the opponent!

Thus, Bai Pu concluded that the opponent's Otherworld Spirit Realm Will also couldn't "control" him!

In other words, the opponent didn't actually know how much damage a single Void Ice Spike could inflict on him.

Bai Pu used the newly stored Adaptive Evolution: Cold Body, to purposely take the damage from a second Void Ice Spike, getting blasted away, spitting blood, most of which was an act.

The blood was, in fact, a package of mimetic blood he had pre-stored in his mouth!

Bai Pu pretended to be gravely injured to make the opponent drop their guard.

Because the Blood Mist Butcher had arrived!

At this time, both the Blood Mist Butcher and the Octopus-headed creature had reasons to fight.

The Blood Mist Butcher, driven by a bloodthirsty instinct, saw the Octopus-head as a side dish—he was the only living flesh creature in this workshop!

As for Bai Pu, coated early with a foul-smelling ointment specially crafted by the Blood Ring, he appeared no more than a pile of human-shaped dung to the Blood Mist Butcher, who had no interest in approaching.

Food contaminated with feces can be washed and consumed, but with a fresh, lively ingredient right in front of him, surely the fresh one would be "processed" first.

Besides, it looked like seafood, which undoubtedly whetted the Blood Mist Butcher's appetite further.

"It should be said that the Spirit Realm Will cannot directly control natives or monsters; they have their own behavioral patterns. However, the Spirit Realm Will can guide them to some extent! For instance, making the Octopus-head appear more delicious in the Blood Mist Butcher's eyes to trigger its appetite..."

Watching in secret, Bai Pu observed the Blood Mist Butcher charging at the Octopus-head, making him judge.

The Octopus-head dared not flee, fearing that the Blood Mist Butcher might attack the teleportation node!

At this time, having spent most of his Skills and consumed nearly half of his Spiritual Power, the only ability left was the Ice Spike Skill from his Water Vine Staff. Facing the Enhanced Leader Template of the Blood Mist Butcher was pressure unimaginable!

Therefore, the Octopus-head immediately used his Set Skills!

Four green lights flickered on him, the surrounding air becoming thick and moist, the sound of ocean tides faintly audible!

The void unfolded into a deep blue Teleportation Portal, from which leaped numerous Poisonous Frogs, Crab People, Lobster People, and other marine hybrids, more than twenty or thirty in total! Each marine hybrid had a Leader, apparently at an Elite Level.

The Blood Mist Butcher let out a ghastly laugh, for, in his eyes, this group of marine hybrids was just a heap of seafood on the table! His surrounding violent blood-colored energy spread out, covering the entire workshop!

The Spirit Realm Will, previously silent, finally sent a message:

[Based on your Perception, you have obtained the following combat information.]

[Blood Mist Butcher's Skill: Slaughterhouse activates, causing moderate slowing effects on all enemies within the target range. With each enemy killed, the Blood Mist Butcher gains a Life recovery, equivalent to 10% of the Life Value of the deceased target.]

Meanwhile, the Blood Mist Butcher's Serrated Greatsword slashed down violently!

A Lobster Soldier raised a thick Shell Shield to block, but the chain saw-like serrated teeth of the Greatsword left a deep dent in the Shell Shield, cutting through it as if sawing through a wooden board.

Immediately following the flash of Blood Mist Butcher's Greatsword, the Lobster Soldier's body was bisected, dark green intestines mixed with viscera gushing all over the place.

The Blood Mist Butcher grinned wickedly, tearing the Lobster's lower half giant tail and chomping it down.

Surrounding attacks by the Lobster People, Crab People, and Poisonous Frogs landed on him, causing only minor rifts, which healed and regenerated at an astounding speed.

In data terms, the Life Value lost by the Blood Mist Butcher was rising again at a staggering pace!
