Bai Pu checked the Attribute Panel of the Skeleton Warrior. As the master, he could freely view the attribute information of his slaves without any skills or costs.

28 points of power! Definitely stronger than other Level 3 power-type elite creatures.
Bai Pu glanced again at his professional experience bar. After clearing this wave of monsters, his professional experience bar had risen to 59%, gaining a solid 3% of experience!
Given the vastness of the Black Mist Valley and the abundance of monsters, Bai Pu just needed to clear a few more waves to surely level up to Level 2.
Bai Pu sat cross-legged on the ground, removed the [Iron Spike Shoulder Guard], and began to inscribe the Flesh and Blood Spell.
Half an hour later, the Flesh and Blood Spell was successfully inscribed. Bai Pu stood up, put on the [Iron Spike Shoulder Guard], picked up some stones, and began the second monster-clearing wave.
Just as Bai Pu was happily clearing monsters, the sound of an arrow tearing through the air suddenly reached him, and a flaming arrow exploded above his head.
Flames scattered everywhere. The nearby skeleton monsters were already low on health, and they all fell lifeless, turning into bone fragments.
Bai Pu felt a surge of anger.
The Spirit Realm Will bases experience distribution on contribution to the kill, independent of whether it was the last hit.
But the last hit alone implies at least 20% of the kill contribution!
Bai Pu's Flesh Armor caused low damage per hit, relying on time to accumulate damage, unlike the high damage of this Bursting Arrow. At least 20% of the experience points from this wave of monsters were stolen!
"Who." Bai Pu said coldly.
From the black mist, an Awakened with a bow and arrow, sporting a little moustache, walked over with a wide grin.
"Hey brother, what's your name? I see you're all alone; want to team up?"
"Scram." Bai Pu showed no sense of courtesy; the other had already blatantly snatched experience points—there was nothing more to say.
"Hey, you're in the wrong." said Little Moustache, justifiedly, "This Black Mist Valley doesn't belong to you alone. I paid Spiritual Points to come in too; I can kill monsters if I see them, can't I?"
"Will you scram or not?" Bai Pu tipped his chin slightly upward, his eyes emitting a cold gleam.
"Haha, you're just a Tank, relying on your tough build with area magic damage; do you dare to be so arrogant?" Seeing Bai Pu unmoved by his tricks, Little Moustache dropped the pretense, "I'm specialized in agility; I can walk faster than you can run—what can you do to me?"
Bai Pu's body shimmered with a flash of blood light, and he suddenly leaped high, swinging the Bone Hammer as he landed! He directly launched a [Jump Slash], attacking Little Moustache.
Little Moustache's figure floated as green light flickered beneath his feet, bouncing back seven or eight meters like he was on springs. He still had the leisure to mock, "How many charge skills do you have? Today I'm just going to outlast you. Every monster you draw, I will kill!"
However, just as Little Moustache regained his footing, a towering figure had already rushed over!
The hilt of the Giant Sword struck his abdomen, causing Little Moustache to stagger, resembling a twisted lobster with eyes bulging. A mouthful of sour liquid spewed out.
The Skeleton Warrior launched a [Merciless Assault]!
Bai Pu's own attack power was indeed low, so his Jump Slash was a feint, and the real strike was the Skeleton Warrior!
As Little Moustache was frozen in place from the blow, the Skeleton Warrior swung the great sword, slightly powering up before vertically cleaving down, causing Little Moustache's blood to spurt wildly!
Little Moustache was greatly shocked; he never expected Bai Pu to have a Skeleton Warrior slave by his side, nor did he expect this Skeleton Warrior to be so formidable. A skill plus a single ordinary attack had sliced off more than half of his life value!
When Awakened face danger in the Boundary Land, without the constraints of main task penalties, they can choose to leave the Boundary Land and return to reality immediately. But doing so means losing the chance for exploring and leveling up this time!
On the other hand, life is only one. Encountering life-threatening danger and not escaping, hoping for mercy from the opponent, is too foolish; even death won't be protected by law.
Leave or stay?
If it were someone else, Little Moustache might still want to discuss or plead.
However, Bai Pu's previously ruthless tone and tendency to start fights at the slightest provocation made Little Moustache deeply feel that this was a reckless youth, fearing that he would run too slowly and be directly taken down by his opponent's ruthless hands!
So, with a flash of white light, Little Moustache's figure faded and disappeared. He decisively left the Boundary Land of the Bone Mountain Range.
Bai Pu's expression remained unchanged. Little Moustache's actions were mostly within his calculations.
After driving away Little Moustache, Bai Pu continued his wave-style monster farming endeavor. His professional experience and combat specialization steadily and efficiently increased.
...
Bone Mountain Range, Glacial Perilous Land.
This is a Level 3 area marked on the map, and it's a perilous land where leader-level monsters roam.
In front of the frozen tomb, a two-meter tall, slender Skeleton Mage was levitating, engaged in battle with a few Awakened.
The Skeleton Mage exuded a cold aura, draped in a black robe with blue patterns, with tiny blue ice crystals flickering around it. Such an impressive appearance, one could tell at a glance that it was a powerful leader-level creature.
Facing off against the Skeleton Mage were none other than three members of the second batch of the Divine Strategy Army's Genius Camp—
Martial Monk Jin Niu, serving as the tank; Unknown profession Archer Mad Dog, serving as the DPS (damage dealer); Word Spirit Master Qilin, serving as support.
"Hurry, the magic resistance potion's time is almost up, quickly output!" Qilin urged.
The three of them were panting heavily, clearly at their limit. The Skeleton Mage Leader they were fighting against had half of its body already damaged, with several arrows lodged between its bones, clearly also heavily wounded.
The Skeleton Mage Leader pointed its finger, and an ice crystal formed at its fingertip, then shot out swiftly.
The target was Mad Dog, who had the highest output!
Mad Dog pre-emptively repositioned, dodging and weaving. Yet, the ice crystal spike, as if it had its own guidance system, curved slightly, still grazing Mad Dog's side ribs, inflicting frost damage and a slowing effect.
"Don't be overconfident, use skills when you should!" Qilin shouted, "The boss has high Meditation Specialization, it has ballistic correction!"
"Got it!"
Mad Dog said sullenly, "Jin Niu, give me three seconds!"
As he spoke, Mad Dog kneeled on one knee, with a crimson glow flickering across his body, and the great bow shimmered with a dazzling color like it was illuminated by the evening glow.
Mad Dog pulled the bowstring back with effort, which was usually easy to draw but now felt like it carried the weight of a thousand pounds.
As the bowstring gradually drew back, a slightly ethereal crimson arrow slowly formed between Mad Dog's left thumb.
The Skeleton Mage Leader sensed the threat, immediately raised its magic staff, cast a Frost Shield upon itself, and began chanting spells. The chilling thought fluctuations spread across the field, making everyone shiver with fear even if they didn't understand the meaning of the spell.
Jin Niu threw punch after punch, the Qi Force was mostly absorbed by the Frost Shield, with only a small amount reaching the Skeleton Mage Leader, wholly unable to disrupt its casting.
"My 'Jade-Breaking Fist' priority isn't high enough, I can't penetrate it!" Jin Niu said sullenly.
Before Jin Niu spoke, Qilin had already opened a golden tome. He chanted a true word and suddenly pointed at the Skeleton Mage Leader: "Fire, Fire, Fire! Flame!"
Three wisps of flame flared up on the Frost Shield, suddenly transforming into blazing flames! Qilin used fire to counter ice, under the circumstances of attribute restraint, relied purely on fire damage to deplete the shield's absorption completely.
Jin Niu stepped forward, his punch emitting a transparent fist edge Qi Force, causing the Skeleton Mage Leader's body to tremble violently, its brewing spell effort thwarted.
"Mad Dog, it's up to you now!" Jin Niu shouted.
"Coming!" Mad Dog pulled the bow string fully, the splendid crimson arrow had fully formed, like it was condensed from the evening glow!
"Sunset Arrow!" Mad Dog shouted his skill name, to boost his momentum.
Whoosh!
With a piercing whistle, the crimson arrow sliced through the air, trailing a magnificent purplish-red tail, striking the Skeleton Mage Leader! A blazing radiance like the sun exploded at the arrow's point of impact.
The Skeleton Mage Leader, already on the verge of death, took another hit from the Sunset Arrow, instantly entering a critical state. It kneeled on one knee, blankly "looking" at the few fractured ribs in its chest and the gaping hole in its chest cavity.
Crack! The Skeleton Mage Leader shattered into fragmented bones of varying lengths, scattering across the ground.
"We did it!" The three were overjoyed, defeating a leader-level Skeleton Mage with an elite three-man team was definitely something to brag about.
However, in the next second, an unexpected change occurred!
A figure appeared silently beside the panting Mad Dog, wielding a knife with ruthless intent to slit his throat!
