Bai Pu slowly shook his head, "Sorry, I still need to conserve my strength to deal with the Crimson Wings."

Dealing with the Crimson Wings was Bai Pu's most important objective, and for this, he could forgo some minor gains.

"What?" Crazy Zen was astonished, "Didn't the Crimson Wings go to chase the Hidden Snake?"

"The Crimson Wings won't catch up. After all, she injured her wings and lost her proud flying ability. For her, revenge is secondary; healing is her top priority. Unless the Hidden Snake deliberately wants to lure the Crimson Wings into chasing him for a counterattack, she definitely won't catch up."

Bai Pu said calmly, "Based on my analysis of the Hidden Snake's character, he seems to be the type who is especially suspicious and cherishes his life. After taking such a big hit, he probably won't make a move against the Crimson Wings until he's dealt with us."

"So do you know the location of the Crimson Wings?" Crazy Zen asked curiously.

"I can roughly guess," Bai Pu raised the observational log from the Blood Spider, [Observation Log of the Signa District: Crimson Wings].

"Alright then, are you sure you don't need my help?" Crazy Zen seemed eager, "You've also seen how formidable the Crimson Wings is. Actually, completing the profession change task is the most important. You can worry about the evaluation later; just focus on completion first.

"For instance, this time, the Hidden Snake Team besieged the Crimson Wings. Besides the main mission of capturing a powerful wild Mutant, 'Night Wings' also needs something from the Crimson Wings for a bloodline task. If he doesn't rely on the team's power, he would never dare to take action against the Crimson Wings."

"I understand what you're saying. If I fail this time, I will ask for your help."

Bai Pu drank a tube of healing-type Alchemy Potion to restore his condition.

This Alchemy Potion was crafted by Qin, suitable for Low-level Awakened to drink, and could continuously restore 300 Life Value in 30 seconds, but the Medication Resistance was only a mere 5 points, making it a top-grade recovery potion.

A normal potion restoring 300 Life Value would not have a Medication Resistance lower than 15 points.

Medication Resistance is the 'resistance' generated when an Awakened continuously uses Alchemy Potions in a short period. The higher the accumulated Medication Resistance, the poorer the effect of the Alchemy Potion.

Of course, this is also related to the Awakened's Endurance Attribute. Awakened with high Endurance have a higher Medication Resistance limit (the weakening ratio of the Alchemy Potion = Medication Resistance / Medication Resistance limit) and can have one or two more opportunities to drink Alchemy Potions effectively than others.

Crazy Zen said, "Let me tell you about the Blood Ring's movements... The first phase of the main mission is to capture wild Mutants to enhance the Blood Ring Team's battle power. The second phase of the main mission hasn't emerged yet; it's likely to be a big battle."

"Sounds good. My first phase main task is intelligence gathering. Next, when the Expeditionary Army Commander Duke William arrives, it should trigger the next phase of the main mission, leading to a full-scale war with the Blood Ring," Bai Pu said.

"Keep an eye on the situation. I'll share the intelligence with you at any time," Crazy Zen waved his hand, then left with two Awakened from the same team.

Bai Pu glanced at Crazy Zen's back without saying anything.

His Life Value had almost fully recovered, so he mounted the Swedish Warmblood and trotted towards the forests of the Signa District.

The Blood Spider also followed on horseback. According to Bai Pu's request, she would not enter Bai Pu's ambush point for the Crimson Wings but would hide in a place outside that was both concealed and had a good view, both to observe Bai Pu's profession change task and serve as an early warning.

Although based on the Hidden Snake's way of acting, Bai Pu doubted he would dare to double back after escaping the Crimson Wings' pursuit, he still had to guard against such unlikely events.

After recent battles with the Overlord and Hidden Snake, Bai Pu had gained some benefits; his [Wind-Stepping Slash] had gained enough proficiency to rise to Level 2, while [Unstable Shield] had risen to Level 3!

With the effect of Limit Breaker +1 Level, Wind-Stepping Slash became Level 3, and Unstable Shield was Level 4!

Wind-Stepping Slash didn't undergo qualitative changes, only increasing damage and the jumping speed by about 10%. The real qualitative change was in the Level 4 [Unstable Shield], granting Bai Pu the opportunity to extract a Special Effect!

There's a widely circulated saying that the quality of the Special Effects extracted from an Awakened's Combat Skills is not only related to Comprehension but also has a great deal to do with the Awakened's 'combat and learning experiences'!

The so-called learning experience refers to whether one has been advised by a master while the skill is upgrading.

As for combat experience, it's about what battles the skill has gone through during its practice (gaining proficiency)! The richer the experience of fighting strong opponents, the higher the chance of extracting powerful Special Effects.

For example, now...

Bai Pu saw the series of Special Effects for [Unstable Shield], and immediately his eyes shone brightly! He now somewhat believed that the widely circulated saying was true.

"Very good... With the Level 4 Special Effect of Unstable Shield, my confidence in killing the Crimson Wings just increased!"

...

About twenty minutes later, a thin red figure leisurely walked back.

It was the Crimson Wings, who returned without success!

Although "walking," the speed of the Crimson Wings was still very fast. Her claws lightly tapped the ground, like a pole pushing a boat, her whole body floated lightly forward.

Her half-meat wing was still limp, with blood-dripping holes that undoubtedly severely affected her flying ability.

The Crimson Wings had a delicate human girl clamped under her arm, who by now had fallen into unconsciousness.

Apparently, this human girl seemed to be the Crimson Wings' preferred "taste"; she wasn't willing to eat her directly but intended to take her back to her nest, slowly enjoy and heal her wing injury.

The mutation direction of the Crimson Wings was somewhat similar to that of a bat, and she also inherited some habits of bats. For instance, her nest was in a natural cave at the crevice junctions on a steep cliff.

Under the cliff, there was a considerable number of white bones, mostly of humans and a few of livestock. Obviously, the Crimson Wings often "dined" in her nest, and this was also a key reason why Bai Pu could accurately find her nest.

It's unrealistic to expect such a Mutant monster to have the intelligence to "not eat grass by its nest" to hide the location of her nest.

The Crimson Wings arrived in front of the pile of bones below the cliff. In the past, she only needed to spread her wings to fly back to her nest smoothly, but now the serious injury of her single wing forced her to abandon this graceful return method.

Although the cliff was steep, it still posed no challenge for the Crimson Wings, whose Attributes far surpassed ordinary humans.

She held the human girl with one arm, leaped up, her claws lightly tapped the cliff wall, borrowing strength to soar several meters high!

Like the lightweight skills in martial arts novels, a few taps of the claws allowed the Crimson Wings to climb up to the crevice junction and slip into her nest.

Upon entering the nest, the Crimson Wings suddenly sensed something was wrong.

There was someone in the cave!

Having just suffered a major setback, the Crimson Wings was extremely vigilant at this moment. She tossed the human girl aside and cautiously observed her surroundings.

Suddenly, a bottle flew out from the shadow in the corner!

The bottle burst open upon landing, turning into a thick yellow smoke that engulfed the Crimson Wings.

The Crimson Wings was clearly restrained by this yellow smoke, her half-meat wing flapping, and she kept coughing out choking sounds!

"Qin's improved Inert Potion, which penetrates through breathing and pores, is indeed very convenient."

Within the short two seconds of the Crimson Wings' coughing, Bai Pu and Mad Rhino Luz had already charged out from the shadow in the corner, leaping past the Crimson Wings and blocking her path.

It's a pity that the materials for making Inert Potion are rare. Qin only found a batch in the alchemy laboratory in Malmö City, otherwise using this potion as a control measure might have surprising results.

In the blink of an eye, two seconds passed, and the Crimson Wings had adapted to the yellow smoke, no longer coughing. Her pair of crimson small eyes flashed with a fierceness, glaring at Bai Pu and Luz.
