Chapter 804 - 799: Do You Want Revenge?
Although Bron’s Melt Core Eruption accumulates to a theoretical damage of up to twenty to thirty thousand, it is dealt over a duration of 2.5 seconds, with each punch only causing a theoretical damage of around three thousand, scattered at multiple points.
On the other hand, Bai Pu’s damage is instantaneous, concentrated at one point.
The difference is that one can trigger instant killing conditions, while the other cannot.
This is a fundamental difference.
Bron was unable to act and could only watch helplessly as Rob died, leaving behind the Bloody Key, which Bai Pu grabbed.
Ironically, he had just shouted "We’ll see!"
It was supposed to be a final morale-boosting speech, but after Bai Pu killed Rob on the spot and humiliatingly refuted him, Bron seemed to have lost his backbone, and his whole demeanor softened.
Swish, swish, swish!
Streams of white light shot into the sky as the Moon God’s Gate finished casting.
Within a hundred meters around Bron, all the Red Race Awakened disappeared from the scene.
"Hmm?"
Dongbo Cheng was slightly startled, "I didn’t expect these Fallen Wild Warriors to have such rare teleportation spell scrolls. But it seems that these spells only affect humans and not demons."
Just now, Dongbo Cheng attempted an attack, but that layer of silvery brilliance isolated Dongbo Cheng’s sword qi.
In comparison, Dongbo Cheng thought Gangxin was still stronger than him.
The Red Race Awakened had left, leaving behind the Demon General Blood Weave and the remaining Swamp Demon Spiders to scatter in escape.
"Surround this Demon General!"
Bai Pu hurriedly ordered, and the Furnace Squad and Salacia simultaneously surrounded them. Bai Pu’s Demon General Slave Mo Hou also lunged at Blood Weave at the first moment, with the Demon Abyssal Mouth sucking onto Blood Weave’s form!
The remaining Swamp Demon Spiders, in the water element environment, escaped at extremely high speeds, leaving Bai Pu and the others unconcerned.
Only the Black Shark Queen also swam at high speed. Filled with anger and nowhere to vent it, she gritted her teeth, chasing and hunting the Demon Spiders.
"Can you control another Demon General?"
Rein couldn’t quite believe it; he noticed Bai Pu’s intention.
If Bai Pu wanted to kill Blood Weave for the Treasure Chest, he wouldn’t have placed Dongbo Cheng against Blood Weave from the start!
"Let’s give it a try."
Bai Pu thrust a spear, piercing one of Blood Weave’s sharp spider legs, reducing her escape speed.
Rein suppressed his shock, formed his hands into a sphere, and once again used Heaven and Earth Copper Furnace to envelop Blood Weave.
With their combined efforts, the Demon General Blood Weave was quickly beaten into a weakened, near-death state.
In fact, during the battle with Dongbo Cheng, Blood Weave had been taking hits one-sidedly, almost bleeding out, and her condition was already poor.
Bai Pu extracted a drop of Pure Blood, which he merged into the brow of the Demon General Blood Weave.
Everyone’s expressions were tense.
If Bai Pu succeeded in enslaving another Demon General, their side’s power would see yet another enhancement!
This would be a Demon General Slave completely obedient to Bai Pu, far more useful than a Native strongman.
Bai Pu closed his eyes, sensing the slow infiltration of Pure Blood into the body of Demon General Blood Weave.
Compared to last time enslaving Demon General Mo Hou, this process was noticeably more sluggish. It was likely because Mo Hou had "occupied" a large portion of Bai Pu’s strength space, causing this attempt to be exceedingly slow.
Suddenly, Bai Pu groaned softly, opened his eyes, and two streams of nosebleed trickled down from his nostrils.
Meanwhile, the dying Demon General Blood Weave emitted a sorrowful cry, collapsed to the ground, and lost her life force.
"Failed."
Bai Pu stood up, holding his nose, shook his head slightly, "It seems that Demon Generals are harder to enslave than I thought."
The likelihood of failure in this attempt was already far higher than success. Failure is not surprising; success would be a miracle.
Salacia immediately helped Bai Pu wipe the blood and said, "It’s alright, you’re already amazing."
"Yes, this is a Demon General, equivalent to an entire team of Awakened individuals. Enslaving one is already terrifying; if you enslave two or three... can’t even imagine." Leia and others chimed in, offering comfort.
Suddenly, Bai Pu reached to his belt, stroked it, and the Dark Gold Tower Shield [The Demon Spider Empress’s Warning] appeared in his hand.
At this moment, the Dark Gold Tower Shield had experienced Bron’s berserk assault, leaving pits and cracks all over it, with its durability reduced by more than half.
Clearly, the base material of the Dark Gold Tower Shield was not excellent enough and was gradually becoming inadequate for the battle intensity of Awakened prodigies.
Fortunately, this shield can devour the corpses of strong individuals to self-repair its durability. Otherwise, after one or two high-intensity battles, it would break.
Just now, in the quick equip space on the belt, this shield suddenly exuded a hot sensation, as if the Demon Spider Artifact Spirit was trying to communicate with Bai Pu.
Timing-wise, it was exactly when the enslavement failed and the Demon General Blood Weave perished.
Bai Pu was stirred in his heart.
The Demon Spider Empress’s Warning is originally a demon ghost weapon, originating from the Heart Demon World.
Moreover, the shield’s artifact spirit, Demon Spider Lady, and the Demon General Blood Weave belong to the same type of demons.
The Demon Spider Lady seems very interested in the corpse of this Demon General Blood Weave; could it be that Blood Weave’s corpse could help her further enhance herself?
Bai Pu gently caressed the shield and used the equipment’s attached skill "Devouring Enhancement" on the corpse of the Demon General Blood Weave!
This time the devouring enhancement was noticeably different from before, no longer greedily consuming in one bite.
The Demon Spider artifact spirit personally emerged, the relief on the shield’s surface came alive, opening a big mouth to gnaw on the corpse of Demon General Blood Weave.
Although the mouth is small, the gnawing speed is extremely quick; in the blink of an eye, half of the Demon General Blood Spider’s corpse was gone, leaving only some scattered hair and nails.
After the devouring, the Dark Gold Tower Shield returned to Bai Pu’s Storage Space, seemingly satisfied.
Besides gaining a temporary increase of 10 points of Agility and 10 points of Power from the Dark Gold Tower Shield, Bai Pu received no other notification.
He was somewhat confused, but now was not the time to research the shield.
The goal of this trip, alongside ambushing the Red Race Team, was also to find Native inhabitants—specifically the Black Shark People, to learn about the Eternal Night Dark Sea.
Currently, the Black Shark People are in a tragic state; during the day, Star-Picking Tower killed some of them, and at night Bron’s team killed a large portion. Now, only the Black Shark Queen and about a dozen Black Shark People are left.
The survivors, except for a few adult Black Shark People, are mostly juveniles, each with a terrified expression, not yet having recovered from the calamity of their tribe’s destruction.
Why are most of the remaining ones juvenile Black Shark People?
It’s because the adult Black Shark People shielded them behind.
The Black Shark Queen, expressionlessly treating the injuries of the Black Shark People.
Bai Pu, Salacia, and others also stepped forward, using healing potions and items like bandages to help the Black Shark Queen treat her tribe.
"...Thank you."
After a while, the Black Shark Queen spoke, expressing gratitude to Bai Pu.
Her lips were full and sensual, albeit now slightly chapped.
Only now did Bai Pu have the opportunity to closely observe the Black Shark Queen.
This half-human, half-fish Black Shark Queen’s skin was not as black as the male Black Shark People but a healthy wheat color, very smooth.
Her figure was quite voluptuous, with bountiful peaks hidden beneath a shells and pearls cover, showing an impressive chest. The body line sharply tapered at the waist and expanded at the hips.
Regrettably, beneath the perky, full buttocks is a long tail instead of a pair of legs, which doesn’t conform to human aesthetics. If there were a pair of long legs, she’d certainly be a top-class beauty.
"My condolences..." Salacia whispered.
The Black Shark Queen remained silent, appearing somewhat numb.
Bai Pu coughed lightly: "Do you want revenge?"
The Black Shark Queen’s movements suddenly halted.
"Although I’ve helped you twice, I’m not here to save you."
Bai Pu spoke calmly, "Both groups that attacked you happened to be my foes. In the upcoming days, I will use everyone at my disposal against them until they are completely wiped out... Are you interested in joining?"
