The giant beast was quite domineering, not allowing any other offspring to eat after its appearance.
A smaller crocodile, which appeared to be the "youngest", was still reluctantly tearing at a pig intestine, but suddenly the giant beast's tail swept over, directly swatting the small crocodile away. Bai Pu could even hear the clear sound of bone cracking!
The small crocodile rolled several times on the spot, its life or death unknown.
What immense explosiveness!
Bai Pu's eye twitched. He immediately used the reconnaissance skill of the [Eagle Eye] title on the giant beast.
[Mother of Jiang Tuo (Level 5 Leader)]
[Species: Beast Species/Reptile Beast Species]
[Attributes: Power ???, Agility 24, Endurance 89, Spirit 21]
[Skill 1: Thick Hide: Passive, Mother of Jiang Tuo gains an additional 1000 Life Points.]
[Skills 2~4: ???]
A high endurance of 89 points!
Bai Pu's pupils contracted; such a high endurance attribute indicated formidable defense—89 points of natural armor and natural magic resistance!
As for Life Points, Bai Pu could not even guess how many Life Points the Mother of Jiang Tuo actually had.
Logically speaking, the larger the size, the stronger the life force. For such a huge creature as the Mother of Jiang Tuo, shouldn't each point of the endurance attribute generate at least thirty Life Points?
Counting in the already revealed Skill 1 [Thick Hide], which gives an additional 1000 Life Points, this giant beast must have three to four thousand Life Points!
Bai Pu gave a bitter smile and murmured to himself, "S-level difficulty."
Compared to the last mainline mission [Sever the Blood Hand], the difficulty of killing this Mother of Jiang Tuo was also S-level, but the "objective difficulty" was vastly different.
Mission difficulty is calculated based on world strength.
The world strength of [Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin] was only 1.5, while [Three Kingdoms: Chibi] had a world strength as high as 2.4!
Though both were S-level missions, one involved dealing with a Level 3 leader, with the assistance of Qin Scholar, Cwieg's Adjutant, and other native experts; the other required solo completion facing a Level 5 leader!
The second leader of the Red Lotus Society, Zhang Gu, trembled slightly as he retained autonomy and cognitive abilities, naturally experiencing fear!
"No rush."
Bai Pu's composed voice calmed Zhang Gu, "Let's wait for this giant creature to eat and drink enough first."
Zhang Gu turned his head, and said tremblingly, "Did you add poison to the live pigs and sheep in advance, sir?"
Bai Pu smiled and said, "I added something, but it wasn't poison... it was an aphrodisiac!"
By now, the crocodile group in the field had become restless! The satiated crocodile offspring began to irritably crawl around, their nostrils twitching with increasing frequency, a sign of arousal!
A crocodile offspring about three meters long, undiscerningly driven by hunger, crawled onto the back of the Mother of Jiang Tuo with improper intentions—
Of course, in its eyes, the Mother of Jiang Tuo's incredibly robust body was extremely alluring and was surely the first choice among all the female Jiang Tuos present!
This was the evolutionary instinct of survival of the fittest, natural selection at the genetic level!
The Mother of Jiang Tuo, impatient, shook its body, flinging it seven or eight meters away with a whip of its tail.
The crocodile offspring seemingly came to its senses, swaying its head and tail to seek out other female species. The crocodile group in the field was aroused, putting on a collective performance reminiscent of a restricted-rated film!
And after the Mother of Jiang Tuo had its fill, it naturally joined in as well!
"It's time."
Bai Pu exhaled long and marched boldly to the mouth of the valley! He raised an arm shield with his left hand while pulling out a crimson dagger with his right.
+3 Deep Red Curved Dagger! A dagger with a 10% Life Stealing effect, but due to a requirement of 10 points in basic agility, it had been shelved by Bai Pu.
Now it's being put to use! Bai Pu enhanced himself with the third drop of Pure Blood obtained over the past couple of days, gaining 7 free attribute points, which he allocated entirely to agility!
Now Bai Pu's agility value has reached 16, with movement speed comparable to 21 agility points. Using the dagger and arm shield combination undoubtedly maximizes his small size and flexible advantage!
In the meantime, the Scorpion-tailed Lion's Sting poison-quenching effect was also activated!
Swish!
Bai Pu slashed at the side of the Mother of Jiang Tuo, initiating the battle.
[Your ordinary attack dealt 2 points of sharp damage to the Mother of Jiang Tuo.]
Bai Pu's mouth twitched slightly; this was within his expectations—the Mother of Jiang Tuo's armor was as high as 89, along with the Level 3 suppression, it's not just for show!
Being able to break through the defense is already quite good.
Direct damage isn't the focus; the Spirit Realm Will's prompt message that appears afterward is the key!
[Your attack on the Mother of Jiang Tuo causes a poisoning effect; current toxin layers: 1 layer, dealing 3 points of toxin damage per second!]
[Scorpion-tailed Lion's Sting]'s +4 special effect: Poison Purification: allows the Scorpion-tailed Lion's toxin to ignore the opponent's resistance and deal full damage!
The undiminished damage is the confidence Bai Pu has in defeating the Mother of Jiang Tuo!
The Mother of Jiang Tuo considered it just a minor itch, entirely disregarding the weak enemy at its side! Its long tail swung like a whip, aiming to strike.
This strike seemed slow but was actually extremely fast!
Bai Pu couldn't dodge this tail sweep; he immediately activated [Fluid Skeleton] and raised his arm shield to block!
Luckily, his agility now barely keeps up with the Mother of Jiang Tuo; otherwise, he wouldn't even have time to block.
Clang!
A sound like a metallic collision rang out; Bai Pu's body shook violently, his life value dropped sharply by 42 points!
"Even with a successful block, the Mother of Jiang Tuo can still deal over eighty points of theoretical damage to me..." Bai Pu took a deep breath and could only say, no wonder it's a Level 5 leader!
Luckily, the resilience from [Heavy Armor Mastery] allowed Bai Pu to be only pushed back a step; otherwise, he'd be sent flying.
However, enduring this hit also gave Bai Pu confidence. He swung his dagger and carved a shallow wound again on the side abdomen of the Mother of Jiang Tuo!
The Mother of Jiang Tuo, having been sliced twice, didn't kill Bai Pu with its anticipated tail sweep, and it vaguely felt the rise of anger.
Suppressing the rising mating urge inside, it opened its large mouth and quickly turned to bite at Bai Pu!
Bai Pu immediately retreated! Seeing those two rows of giant jaws like doors, Bai Pu had no intention of trying.
The Mother of Jiang Tuo's biting motion is slower than the tail sweeping motion, so Bai Pu can still dodge it.
Crunch! The Mother of Jiang Tuo's teeth clashed, its foul-smelling breath sprayed forth, and under the overflow of qi force, Bai Pu's body seemed a bit unstable.
Relying on the stability from [Heavy Armor Mastery], Bai Pu slashed another cut at the Mother of Jiang Tuo's nasal wing!
This slash completely enraged the Mother of Jiang Tuo!
The crocodile's nose is originally a weak point, and Bai Pu's slash was like cutting the most crucial male feature.
With a roar from the Mother of Jiang Tuo, it seemed as if an evil wind rose from the ground, blowing away sand, stones, and tall grass!
[Based on your perception, you have received the following battle information.]
[Mother of Jiang Tuo's skill: Lady's Command activated.]
[Lady's Command: grants a motivational effect to Jiang Tuo's descendants within fifty meters, making them fearless of pain; when their attacks hit, they gain (3) points of fixed damage that ignores defense, and their attack speed increases by (10) points!]
The Mother of Jiang Tuo found its large size inconvenient for handling the human before it, so it immediately called upon its offspring crocodile group, urging them to rush up and tear the opponent into pieces!
However, most crocodiles were in mating state currently! Even the Mother of Jiang Tuo's command was reluctant to make them leave their 'comfort zone' and come to battle.
Moreover, they were just sated and full from their meal, lazy and unwilling to move.
So, only two immature young crocodiles crawled over from the roar!
The two young crocodiles, roughly over a meter long, from the left and the right, launched a sneak attack toward Bai Pu.
Bai Pu raised his arm shield to block one, the Deep Red Curved Dagger hidden behind the shield, suddenly stabbed into the soft belly of the young crocodile, repeatedly thrusting!
The other young crocodile bit into Bai Pu's back, tearing off a mouthful of flesh and blood! Know that Bai Pu was in the state of fluid skeleton at this moment, which was defensive against bludgeoning but not against sharp damage.
Bai Pu's face was cold; he turned and sought the young crocodile that was holding blood and flesh in its mouth, swallowing it, continuously swinging the dagger!
The Mother of Jiang Tuo and the two young crocodiles were simultaneously afflicted with three layers of toxin state, enduring 9 points of toxin damage per second!
The internal toxin spread within the three crocodiles, misting the blood-red fog tendrils.
The blood-colored patterns on the Deep Red Curved Dagger seemed to come alive, sucking in the blood-red mist, injecting it into the holder—Bai Pu's body!
The life-stealing effect of the Deep Red Curved Dagger took effect, stealing 10% of the damage value per second for Bai Pu!
Because the toxin was quenched into the Deep Red Curved Dagger, the toxin damage was considered caused by the Deep Red Curved Dagger! Naturally triggering the blood-sucking rune on the dagger, activating the blood-sucking special effect.
Bai Pu's life value unexpectedly rose strangely, jumping upward at a rate of 2.7 per second!
