Returning to Malmo City, Bai Pu met Qin.
Bai Pu first took out the two incomplete bodies of the Crimson Wings.
Qin exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, Dior... what happened to these incomplete bodies? Did you saw them open?"
"Will it affect your sample collection?" Bai Pu was a bit concerned about this, because the difference between a complete sample and an incomplete one is quite significant.
"Not really, I mainly study the process of its mutation to understand the essence of that heart's power operation. Although this body is cut into two pieces, it's still basically complete when pieced together."
Qin looked at Bai Pu appreciatively: "Dior, your performance has greatly increased my confidence in you. Maybe you truly have the ability to complete the mission of rescuing Christina from the Royal Alchemy Academy."
"So you never had faith in me?"
"Not at all, I was just curious about how you would accomplish it." Qin said, "Through the battles with the Blood Mist Butcher and the Crimson Wings, you have proven that your strength has grown tremendously... So, it's time to tell you a secret deeply hidden within the Royal Alchemy Academy."
The Blood Spider perked its ears up.
However, Qin didn't continue speaking, but instead looked at the Blood Spider.
Bai Pu coughed lightly and said to the Blood Spider, "Go bring the body of that Deep Red Death Plague."
The Blood Spider, even though slow-witted, understood Bai Pu's intention and left tactfully.
After sending the Blood Spider away, only Bai Pu and Qin were left in the Alchemy Laboratory. Qin smiled slightly and unveiled the hidden secret:
"Dior, did you know? There's a secret passage hidden beneath the Royal Alchemy Academy!"
...
When the Blood Spider brought in the heavily injured Deep Red Death Plague, Qin had already put on gloves made of some kind of animal hide, prepared to start studying the mutated body structure of the Crimson Wings, especially those fleshy wings.
Bai Pu signaled the Blood Spider to come forward and briefly explained the situation.
Qin carefully observed the Deep Red Death Plague and frowned: "This seems like a new variant of the Flesh and Blood Plague. The antidotes I made before should be ineffective against it... It seems the lunatics at the Royal Alchemy Academy have not been idle during this time."
While speaking, Qin looked up at Bai Pu and said helplessly: "Dior, I need some time to study and create a new antidote, which means I probably can't make more alchemy potions for you."
The alchemy potions Qin mentioned not only included the Inert Potion for the First Generation Mutants, but also included the potions she gifted to Bai Pu earlier, like that bottle of [Blood of the Mad Wolf], and the Life Recovery Potion with only 5 points of medication resistance.
"I have enough potions for now," Bai Pu said. "I'm just not sure how long it will take you to research the new antidote."
"Without your blood, it might take several months and still yield no results. But with your blood, the time should be significantly reduced, possibly completed in a week." Qin said.
Bai Pu was mentally prepared for this, because previously in the [Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin] world, it was Qin who used Bai Pu's blood to create an antidote that enabled Brandon's resistance army to defeat the Blood Ring Vanguard Army and eradicate numerous Blood Ring strongholds.
At that time, Qin completed the antidote in just a few hours, now it takes a week; it seems off.
In fact, back then, Qin had been dedicated to researching the antidote even before Bai Pu appeared, so Bai Pu's blood was akin to a final push, allowing it to be completed in just a few hours.
"How much time before Duke William arrives?" Bai Pu asked.
"Duke William's main army has already landed, Cwieg sent people to greet them, it's estimated to arrive in one or two hours."
Before Duke William's arrival, Bai Pu rested for a while, took a bath, and had a Nordic-style dinner.
Bai Pu casually opened the treasure chest of the Crimson Wings.
Upon opening the treasure chest, Bai Pu first obtained 10,522 Spiritual Points.
The value of the spiritual points actually reflects the treasure chest's value because it's the most direct indication of its worth.
Obviously, the Crimson Wings treasure chest was slightly inferior compared to the Blood Mist Butcher's chest.
Bai Pu was already mentally prepared for this.
Strictly speaking, neither the Crimson Wings nor the Blood Mist Butcher was killed under perfect conditions by Bai Pu; both were affected by the Inert Potion.
The Blood Mist Butcher fought the Otherworld Traveler first, and although its Life Value was significantly restored at the [Slaughterhouse], it certainly wasn't in its best state when fighting Bai Pu.
The Crimson Wings were worse off, she was ambushed by the Hidden Snake Team, her half of the fleshy wings directly destroyed, and she even lost her prized flying ability!
So the value of the Crimson Wings' treasure chest shrank even more significantly. Of course, no matter how it shrinks, Bai Pu, having defeated a Level 6 Enhanced Leader with a Level 3 Enhanced Elite template, would still have the Spirit Realm Will's recognition, the greater the risk, the greater the reward, the value of the treasure chest still has a basic guarantee.
Bai Pu received a prompt, obtaining four chances to draw Spoils Cards, with the ability to exclude 20 low-valued cards.
Bai Pu, as usual, carried out the exclusion, and then clicked four times in succession.
[You have obtained one A-level Enhancement Card.]
[You have obtained an Enhanced Leader-level material: Tendon of the Crimson Wing.]
[You have obtained an A+ level artifact: Raging Fury.]
[You have obtained an equipment: Blood Wing Cloak.]
"Another A-level Enhancement Card?" Bai Pu felt he had discovered a pattern; previously, he obtained a B-level Enhancement Card after killing the Enhanced Elite "Blood Shaver", and he drew an A-level Enhancement Card after killing the two Enhanced Leaders.
Could it be that the Enhancement Cards are specifically dropped by "Enhanced Elites" and "Enhanced Leaders"? After all, their templates both have the word "Enhanced"... Bai Pu irresponsibly speculated for a second.
The Enhanced Leader-level material: Tendon of the Crimson Wing, is two meters long, exceptionally resilient, and exhibits a pale hue throughout. It seems to be a forging material, likely of considerable value, at least better than the "Giant Tuo's Tendon" sold to a Special Service Bureau comrade [Anvil].
If the Giant Tuo's Tendon is used to make mid-level golden equipment for Blacksmith Sub-profession advancing to Level 4, then the Crimson Wing's Tendon should be for making advanced golden equipment, meant for Blacksmith Sub-profession advancing to Level 7.
Bai Pu then examined the item. The artifact appeared as a somewhat ancient-looking leather scroll.
[Raging Fury: A+ level artifact, after use, increases your movement speed and attack speed by (30) points, lasting 60 seconds. During this period, you resist deceleration effects with a priority below (8).]
This artifact can be said to be the most powerful one Bai Pu has obtained so far. Just the speed increase of 30 points means a brief boost of 30 Agility; moreover, the resistance to high-priority slowing effects is the most excellent feature.
It's easy to imagine that with the activation of this artifact, Bai Pu would be transformed into a cold-hearted killing machine, because most control skills are slowing effects. Skills like stunning, charming, and knock-ups are relatively rare and typically only possessed by Leader-level experts.
