[Hint: You have killed a Level 2 Red Hermit (Elite Unit)]
[Hint: Your Long Weapon Specialization Level has increased to Level 3]
Ye Mingqiu glanced casually at the hint, the Blood Spear shook, and the remaining black residue at the spear tip scattered on the ground. Although there was no Spirit Realm hint, it was clear that the Boiling Blood of these blood-colored monsters, the so-called Red Hermits, seemed to have some buff effect on the Blood Spear.
The hunt begins!
Ye Mingqiu’s eyes glowed with ferocity.
The remaining viciousness in the eyes of the Red Hermits who witnessed their companion’s tragic death was replaced by boundless terror. They even screamed internally: What the hell is this monster! He’s more of a monster than we are!
The two Red Hermits suddenly turned around, scrambling on hands and feet as they fled desperately into the denser darkness of the assembly workshop at an extremely high speed, estimated at at least 15 points of Agility. On the other side, Chang Feng, holding swords in both hands, also fled, completely unwilling to linger.
’Just mere leveling materials trying to flee?’
Ye Mingqiu’s cold gaze locked onto one of the fleeing Red Hermits, his right arm muscles suddenly exerted force, the sharp Blood Spear was lifted with one hand, the spear tip pointing at the escaping enemy.
Immediately after, his arm sharply pulled back, as if drawing a giant bow, focusing all his power on the spear shaft, then.... instant eruption!
"Whoosh!!"
The Blood Spear flew at high speed, turning into a blood-colored lightning that tore through the night, producing a sharp sound as it pierced through, instantly nailing the Red Hermit to the ground.
Then, he turned to look at the other fleeing Red Hermit, activating [Furious Pursuit].
Furious Pursuit: Charge at a designated target, the speed of the charge gradually increases, up to a maximum of 35%, during acceleration immune to any slowing effect, inflicts an additional 0.25 times Power damage when attacking.
Ye Mingqiu, with a high agility of 17.1, ran with increasing speed under the boost of Furious Pursuit, like a racing juggernaut, charging with unparalleled might, speeding through the not-so-spacious workshop.
"Bang!"
Ye Mingqiu slammed down, grabbing the Red Hermit’s head and pinning it to the ground, preventing it from standing up no matter how it struggled with all its might.
This is the suppression of absolute power.
Having a Legendary Profession, Multiple Talents, and power enhanced by Genetic Essence, he possessed an impressive Power Attribute of 24.8, absolutely overpowering when facing Level 2 Elite Units.
He didn’t crush the opponent’s head not because of insufficient power, but because he feared that crushing it would prevent the Blood Spear from achieving complete amplification while absorbing the Boiling Blood.
Afterward, he held the Red Hermit’s head and walked step by step towards the blood-red Battle Spear pinning down another Red Hermit, his steps steady and powerful.
"Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! I’ll do whatever you want, anything!"
The Red Hermit, being dragged by the head, wailed in pain, flapping and struggling, trying to attack but rendered unable to think clearly due to the pain from its head, thrashing around like a beast, leaving a few bloody marks on the ground.
It can speak?
Ye Mingqiu paused for a moment, but soon realized he was misled by the monstrous form of the creature; Red Hermits could disguise as humans before revealing their true form while eating or fighting.
So, not only can they speak, but they can transform into human form when necessary.
The Red Hermit, noticing his pause, mistakenly thought its voice had attracted him; after all, in human society, many are willing to follow because of one’s voice or appearance, some males being such.
Thus, the Red Hermit clung to its lifeline, continued, "Don’t kill me, I’m a girl! A girl! Very beautiful!"
Ye Mingqiu ignored it, quietly walking to the Blood Spear nailing another Red Hermit, pulling out the Blood Spear. The Red Hermit’s remains, pierced and drained of Boiling Blood by the spear, shattered into black fragments scattered on the ground, as the kill notification sounded.
[Hint: You have killed a Level 2 Red Hermit (Elite Unit)]
"No! Don’t kill me, I’m very beautiful, very clean, I’ll do anything, anything...."
"Pshh!"
The Blood Spear descended.
[Hint: You have killed a Level 2 Red Hermit (Elite Unit)]
Ye Mingqiu looked at the Red Hermit on the ground with its neck pierced by the Blood Spear, his gaze indifferent and calm, completely unaffected.
To him, it was just witnessing an enemy trying to grasp a last chance at survival before death, a common occurrence not worth ridicule or excessive attention, like on a battlefield, no need to pause for killing a soldier.
As for the gender issue...
In truly pure combat, there’s no distinction between male and female, differentiating based on gender is fundamentally unfaithful and impure to combat.
Combat is combat, enemies are enemies, kill or be killed, only by maintaining the highest purity can one become stronger faster, something he naturally understood.
Ye Mingqiu was also aware that he is inherently a born killer, able to overcome discomfort when first entering the battlefield and quickly adapt to efficiently fight, rapidly improving Specialty Level and continuously becoming stronger.
Is this a special hidden talent?
Perhaps so.
Then, he glanced towards the depths of the workshop, continuing his heavy footsteps forward while summarizing the battle insights in his mind.
Battle Intelligence: Red Hermits are extremely fast, have sharp claws and teeth, but lack power and have low body defense. They likely possess life-enhancing abilities, naturally recovering quickly, demonstrating strong life force in extreme situations, their blood suspected to contain special energy, losing this energy results in turning into black fragments.
Summary: High attack speed, low defense but thick health, quick recovery, Blood Spear has a certain restraining effect, their blood has special value.
...
In the darkness ahead stood a massive blood-stained iron door, gradually opening as Ye Mingqiu approached, accompanied by deep breathing sounds from inside, a slight red mist slowly seeping out from the other side of the door.
The gigantic iron door slowly opened with a low chuckle following.
Behind the door, a man in a white lab coat held a notebook, looking at Ye Mingqiu with interest, saying, "Not bad, someone actually dared to find their way here, don’t know if you’re confident or just...an ignorant greenhorn."
Ye Mingqiu remained silent, merely assuming a battle stance, his cyan-faced fangs staring intently at the man. He could feel that this man, appearing ordinary, harbored stronger power and more potent Boiling Blood than the Red Hermits outside.
The Blood Spear’s crystalline patterns shimmered, like a ravenous fiend eyeing its prey before a meal.
"No answer?"
The man laughed, his body contorting rapidly, red muscles bursting through the clothing, surging blood qi transformed into waves, swiftly forming a gigantic fierce blood beast, its scarlet vertical pupils emitting a dangerous glow.
