Bai Pu then inquired about the function of military rank.
He is currently just a Corporal, and the information he can access is limited. The Spirit Realm Will only vaguely mentioned that "military rank represents your level of authority, allowing you to exchange for some rare items whenever you enter or exit the Spirit Realm," with no further details.
In short, it's not something to consider for now. If there's an opportunity to accumulate Honor, of course, one should seize it, but there's no need to deliberately seek it out.
Opportunities to encounter Otherworld Traveler invasions are rare since there are so many Spirit Realm Planes. It's estimated that the best place to accumulate Honor and advance in rank would be the main battlefield, which unfortunately is currently out of reach for Bai Pu.
Soon, Mad Rhino Luz hurriedly returned with a box in tow.
Bai Pu opened the box, finding inside several bottles and jars, along with a scroll on the side.
[Inert Potion (Blood Mist Butcher) Formula: Special item, teaches you how to concoct an Inert Potion that restrains the Blood Mist Butcher. Cannot be taken out of this world.]
This was the explanation given by the Spirit Realm Will, and scrawled across the cover of the scroll was a line of writing:
"The Blood Mist Butcher, as a First Generation Mutant, though powerful, is not perfect. An Inert Potion targeting his weaknesses can effectively suppress him."
Bai Pu discovered that this formula was something he could learn directly.
Evidently, under normal circumstances, defeating Mad Rhino Luz and obtaining this Inert Potion formula from his treasure chest was guaranteed.
The Spirit Realm Will does not provide impossible tasks, even for job transition missions.
Bai Pu is a Level 3 Enhanced Elite, tasked with dealing with Blood Mist Butcher and other First Generation Mutant creatures, which are Level 6 Enhanced Leaders! There is a significant gap between both template and level.
Under such conditions, the only way to complete the task is to leverage Bai Pu's knowledge of Flesh and Blood Alchemy to reduce the difficulty.
Now that Bai Pu has enslaved Mad Rhino Luz, the Inert Potion formula, which should have been a guaranteed drop, was voluntarily offered by Mad Rhino Luz.
The bottles and jars in the box are materials for producing the "Inert Potion."
Bai Pu took out a walkie-talkie and pressed the button.
"Hey, how's it going on your side?" Bai Pu asked.
"Not bad, I've already shaken off the Blood Mist Butcher. It's devouring civilian corpses in Ista Town!" Crazy Zen joked half-seriously, "I didn't know you cared so much about your teammates? That's not like you at all."
Beep, Bai Pu ended the communication.
He took a deep breath and then opened the scroll, beginning to read the formula for the "Inert Potion."
...
Flesh Factory, Basement.
The mimic blood gurgled through the basement, slowly seeping into the hardened ground.
Boom!
The dome of the basement was violently broken open.
A corpulent, massive figure squeezed down with some difficulty, landing with a splash in the blood pool.
It was the Blood Mist Butcher.
In Ista Town, the Blood Mist Butcher had devoured some civilian corpses, hastily satiating itself.
However, the aroma of the rare blood in the Flesh Factory lingered keenly in its memory.
Like a diner just having finished their meal desperately needing a tasty drink to wash it down.
The mimic blood on the ground flowed recklessly, now having dried up halfway. It wouldn't take long for all the blood to completely dry.
Seeing this flowing blood, the Blood Mist Butcher, in a hurry, actually knelt on the ground, bending over to gulp it down.
However, the taste was wrong.
The Blood Mist Butcher tilted its head back, savoring carefully, then disbelievingly bent down to take another sip.
This time, it finally discerned that this was not its favorite rare blood at all! It was just a fake product with a similar smell!
The Blood Mist Butcher let out a roar, swinging the Serrated Greatsword, smashing all the jars and wooden barrels in the basement to bits! Still furious, it mumbled while squeezing out through a crack in the basement.
However, just as it emerged from the basement, a Heavy Sword swung horizontally towards it!
The Blood Mist Butcher attempted to swing the Serrated Greatsword to parry, but it missed, and the Heavy Sword left a deep wound on its body surface.
It was Mad Rhino Luz who launched the first attack. After striking with his sword, he gripped the Great Sword with both hands, spinning to form a strong whirlwind of sword blades! The Qi Force scattered from the sword blades left scars of varying depths on the Blood Mist Butcher's body!
It was Mad Rhino Luz's combat skill: Tornado Slash!
The Blood Mist Butcher roared in muffled fury, aiming at the whirlwind of blades, the Serrated Greatsword lifted from below like a golf swing.
Bang! The Tornado Slash was forcefully broken, and Mad Rhino Luz's body was sent flying.
With its massive leg stepping forward with a swing of its sword, its pursuit was suddenly blocked by a Spider Demon Tower Shield appearing swiftly in front.
Clang!
The Spider Demon Tower Shield vibrated slightly, but the shield holder remained firm, not giving ground!
Bai Pu had already used [Nine Chapters] to probe, obtaining some data on the Blood Mist Butcher.
[Based on your military rank: Corporal, you have gained slightly detailed intelligence data.]
[Blood Mist Butcher (Enhanced Leader Level 6) / Inert Potion]
[Species: Humanoid / Mutant]
[Attributes: Power 90, Agility 43, Endurance ???, Spirit 25]
[Skill 1: Heart of the Madman: Blood Mist Butcher gains an additional 1300 Life Value.]
[Skill 2~8: Slaughterhouse, Chainsaw Blade, Cutting, Shattering Earth, Despair, ???]
90 Power points!
"This is a powerful BOSS with high damage, high life, and high sustain, and it also does not fear being besieged! The weakness should be in its relatively low Spirit and Perception." Bai Pu quickly assessed.
Earlier, Bai Pu mixed the [Inert Potion] into the mimic rare blood, luring the Blood Mist Butcher into drinking it. Fortunately, the Blood Mist Butcher's sense of danger was relatively low, and it gulped down the Inert Potion, affected by the potion.
[Inert Potion: Blood Mist Butcher's movement and attack speed reduced by 35%, lasting 120 minutes. Because this potion uses a formula targeting Blood Mist Butcher, Blood Mist Butcher's Poison Resistance is ineffective.]
If not for the potion, Bai Pu would not dare to attempt defeating such a colossal BOSS alone! Even with a reduced task difficulty due to the potion, he would have had to summon aid, risking escalated task difficulty just to assure victory.
Bai Pu's current Power was 59 points—he had temporarily fused a Genetic Fragment of a Blood Ring Heavy Swordsman, gaining an 8-point temporary Basic Power boost, and the Spider Demon Tower Shield added 3 points of base Power from its past user. This gave him effectively 79 Power in direct opposition!
Bai Pu also has [Heavy Armor Mastery], which grants tenacity against knockback and knockback, so he can hold his ground against the threatening 90 Power of the Blood Mist Butcher!
Bai Pu's right hand held the Spider Demon Tower Shield at the ready, defending firmly without a single step back!
The mimic blood on the ground sloshed freely, now half dried up. Soon, this blood pool would be entirely drained.
Bai Pu pulled out the walkie-talkie, pressing the button down as he issued a command to the others, "Prepare to deliver the ultimate attack against that bloody butcher, and do not yet consume the Elixir!"
He wielded his Sharp Long Saber in both hands as the phantom of the Scorpion-tailed Lion flickered in an instant.
It was Bai Pu's most formidable card for soloing the BOSS — Scorpion-tailed Lion's Sting, activated!
Blood Mist Butcher, as a Mutant, possesses maximum Poison Resistance. Unless adapted Gene Enhancements or Poison Immunities are leveraged, this resistance renders toxins ineffective!
However, response tactics come into play now. Scorpion-tailed Lion's Sting immediately generated new effects [...]. Bai Pu recognized the strategy to exploit the Boss's critical weakness in Spirit and Perception, the key to sealing its combat effectiveness.
