Bai Pu was confined in a water prison, but he didnât panic.
Since he had been discovered, Bai Pu openly activated the Mental Scan.
Within the Mental Scan, Bai Pu sensed an extremely chilling energy converging and then releasing!
A beautiful and fantastical ice spike suddenly shot towards Bai Pu. From the hidden yet overbearing force alone, one could feel the terror of this strike!
At the critical moment, a phantom of a golden giant bull appeared behind Bai Pu, followed by a silent roar towards the sky! The chains binding the golden giant bull snapped inch by inch.
[Strong Strike Armor] Decoupling Skill [Evil Spirit]!
Bai Pu regained his freedom and immediately executed a Wind-Stepping Slash! However, he didnât leap towards the workshop where the space-time node was but instead leaped towards Blood Ring Leader "Mad Rhino" Luz.
A cryptic language sounded again, and the void ice spike actually traced an arc, like a guided missile, continuing to shoot towards Bai Pu!
The tip of Bai Puâs long saber made a virtual swipe in the air, a whirlwind enveloping him, and he suddenly changed direction!
As if there was a spot in nothingness for Bai Pu to leverage, he suddenly shifted direction with a burst in speed, surrounded by a strong wind pressure, lunging towards the workshop door where the space-time node was!
At this moment, Bai Pu finally saw the full appearance of the otherworldly traveler stationed at the space-time node.
He had an octopus face, golden pupils, and two fleshy tentacles extending slantingly down from his cheeks, slightly writhing as if alive.
The void ice spike couldnât forcibly turn and exploded behind Bai Pu with a loud blast!
Fine ice shards fell behind Bai Pu, and his back was instantly covered in a thin layer of frost, his life value dropping by over thirty points.
Itâs imaginable what kind of damage Bai Pu would have suffered if the body of the void ice spike had hit!
Bai Pu simultaneously cast [Nine Chapters]. With 24 points of spiritual power now, it was enough to use it three times, even when probing a Level 6 Awakener or Native.
However, using [Nine Chapters] this time, there was no response at all, not a bit of information was detected.
Bai Pu cursed his bad luck inwardly, but retreat was not an option now!
As a close combat profession facing a magic system enemy, having managed to close in using decoupling and charge, how could he escape?
Even if he tried to escape, he would only be bombarded to death by the enemyâs remote spells!
The mighty wind force of Wind-Stepping Slash stirred up strong floating and shaking forces upon landing, causing the body of the otherworldly traveler to tighten suddenly and float up.
Bai Pu held the long saber with both hands and slashed downward.
When the blade touched the otherworldly traveler, there was a "pop" sound, like a soap bubble bursting, and the travelerâs body turned into an illusion and dissipated.
What kind of skill is this, to leave a bubble phantom to disrupt judgment during displacement?
Moreover, it can deceive perception! Bai Puâs spiritual detection hadnât noticed the opponent using displacement abilities.
As the bubble illusion shattered, the figure of the otherworldly traveler appeared on the wall. With a light wave of his water vine-like magic staff, chilling energy gathered again, forming a slightly smaller ice spike.
Does this guyâs strong skills cost nothing?
Bai Pu cursed inwardly and immediately called out, "Requesting space support, make the space-time node around me manifest!"
In an instant, invisible transparent ripples spread out from Bai Pu as the center!
A floating, glowing triangular mechanism appeared in the air, full of a sense of future technology.
[C-level space-time node: Durability 100/100.]
Bai Pu suddenly maneuvered behind the space-time node, now separated from the formidable octopus-headed otherworld traveler by the node!
The octopus head hesitated immediately, holding back from releasing the ice spike, retracting it instead.
Bai Pu merely sneered, slashing down with his sharp long saber!
Durability 97/100.
It was so easy for Bai Pu to hit the stake. He swung his long saber, smoothly tracing a second slash along the track of the wind! The durability immediately dropped to 95/100.
If he werenât interrupted, Bai Pu could dismantle this otherworldly space-time node within a minute.
The octopus headâs face turned grim, its golden pupils suddenly emitted a radiant glow! Instantly, Bai Puâs vision turned white, like being possessed by a ghost, frozen in place.
The feeling was eerie, clear consciousness yet unable to control hands and feet!
Moreover, there were no combat prompts. Based on perception, Bai Pu could usually obtain some intelligence data, but now there was none, as if the Spirit Realm Will was asleep.
Bai Pu couldnât help but speculate whether the Spirit Realm Willâs combat prompts, including the detection from [Nine Chapters], only targeted the Awakened within the Spirit Realm?
For otherworldly travelers, without relevant data backups, no detection or prompts exist?
This thought flashed by, and Bai Pu saw the octopus head gliding along the workshop wall, repositioning so the space-time node wouldnât be affected, shooting another void ice spike.
With a blast, Bai Puâs body was struck by the strong force, sending him flying backward! He spat fresh blood flecked with ice shards, rolling several times before lying on the ground.
This octopus head was probably the strongest among the three otherworldly travelers!
Bai Pu estimated that if the opposing Spirit Realm also had a 1~10 level system, with ordinary, elite, and leader template tiers, this octopus head was at least a level 5-6 leader (hero profession)!
The octopus head had fired three void ice spikes in succession (including the one just withdrawn), clearly taxing even himself. He was sure Bai Pu had been severely injured, so wasnât in a hurry to finish him off, immediately pulling out a small blue bottle and drinking it down, a misty blue glow flashing on his body.
To him, prioritizing his mission over finishing off Bai Pu was more important. Just now, Bai Puâs two slashes at the space-time node felt like they struck his heart! So he had to recover quickly to face possible other enemies.
Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps resounded, as if a giant beast was striding over.
The octopus head clearly sensed something, his face changing dramatically, quickly halting his recovery and dodging sideways!
The next second, the workshop wall, like a block of tofu, was smashed into a huge hole, and a massive, swollen figure "squeezed" through the rupture.
This creatureâs entire skin was a deathly white, swollen as if it had been soaked in water for days and nights. However, underneath the deathly white skin lay large muscles, stretching the skin thin like a balloon full of air!
This was one of the particularly powerful monsters among the first generation of mutants: the Blood Mist Butcher!
In the Blood Mist Butcherâs deathly white large hand, he held a peculiar two-handed greatsword, its edges serrated like sharkâs teeth, covered in dark red dried bloodstains.
The Blood Mist Butcher suddenly raised the serrated greatsword high, a blood-colored airflow spreading, the serrated edges vibrating at high speed, oscillating back and forth like a chainsaw. He strode towards the workshop, his beady eyes flashing fiercely, momentarily glancing at the fallen Bai Pu, and then locking onto the octopus head!
