My stats are higher than yours!!

Bai Shuodong released his grip, and the gray-eyed body fell to the ground.

"hehe..."

"Hahaha..."

"Hehehehe!!"

Bai Shuodong burst into wild laughter, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding rangers.

The "rotten fish and shrimp" he led were now incredibly brave, howling and chasing after the cavalry, their strength and agility were completely abnormal. Who in their right mind could chase after a horse? Who could chase after a horse and then kill the cavalry?

Ok?

Cloth!

"The enemy general has been killed!!"

"Charge with the officer!!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!..."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!..."

The shouts of battle were deafening. The guards seemed to be on stimulants, charging forward with all their might. They were panting heavily, but their eyes shone brightly, as if they had inexhaustible energy.

This is the power of adrenaline!

Just now, when Bai Shuodong charged, all the enemy cavalry's attention was on him, and their firepower was also focused on him.

These cavalrymen completely ignored the guards, treating them with utter disregard. They even thought it wouldn't matter if the guards got close; they could just draw their swords and chop them down without a problem. It was precisely because of this that they ended up overturning in the ditch.

By the time they realized what was happening, the guards were killing more and more easily, and some of them had even broken through to the next level in the heat of battle, successfully advancing to the elite level with a significant increase in their overall attributes.

With the added boosts from [Exhilarating State] and [Azure Wolf Battle Banner], their combat power is now almost approaching that of a leader.

"Fuck him!!"

Thule's roar came from the flank.

He dodged a rider's cleaver by sidestepping it, then swung his own blade upwards, the edge slicing across the horse's belly, causing it to burst open and its internal organs to spill out.

The warhorse neighed and fell to the ground, the rider tumbled from its back, and Tule stomped on his neck, snapping it with a fluid, effortless movement.

His eyes were strikingly bright, with a wolf-like glint in their depths.

Mental detection

【Thule (Level 1 Elite)】

Has he really become an elite?

Not a buddy?

Bai Shuodong silently looked at the others. Gray Fang had also gone berserk. The guy was like he was on drugs, panting heavily, his mouth open, his tongue sticking out, but he was still chasing after the warhorse and slashing.

【Grey Tooth (Level 1 Elite)】

They've become elites too?

Aren't you guys really that sharp?

Bai Shuodong's lips twitched, feeling a strange absurdity, but he laughed, laughed happily. If that's the case, then I can have a bold idea.

...

P.S.: Chapter 2 is a bit late. I mainly wanted to finish writing it all at once, because I was afraid that splitting it up would affect the reader's reading experience. This chapter is 4.6k words.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Blood Demon Armor! Growth Armor!

The cavalry were utterly defeated.

Some fled on horseback, some knelt and begged for mercy, and some fought desperately, only to be casually killed by Bai Shuodong.

The battlefield was littered with corpses, some of the enemy's, and some of theirs.

The old guard stood in a pool of blood, his chest heaving violently. The knife he was holding fell to the ground, and he collapsed, completely powerless.

He could still fight before, but he was just holding on by sheer willpower. Now that the battle is over, he can't hold on any longer. The other guards are in similar situations.

"Take stock of the losses."

Bai Shuodong pulled up the battle flag and began to speak.

"Yes..."

The response was weak but earnest. A few guards who still had some strength moved slowly across the battlefield to check the situation.

Bai Shuodong pulled up the Azure Wolf Battle Flag; the blood on the flag appeared a dark brown in the morning light. He put the flag away, turned around, and looked south.

久後

"Many brothers have died, and now there are only twenty-seven men left in the team, and many of them are seriously injured and are currently being treated," a guard reported to Bai Shuodong.

"Ah."

Bai Shuodong nodded.

This situation was not unexpected, and even better than expected. Although the guards fought fiercely, they were, after all, infantry, and were at a great disadvantage against cavalry. It was already quite impressive that they were not all killed in one charge.

He walked to the gray-eyed corpse and picked up the long-handled axe that had fallen to the ground.

Congratulations on obtaining the Gray Rock Battle Axe!

【Grey Rock Battle Axe】

Level: first level

Quality: Bronze

Equipment type: Handle axe

Attack power: 9-13

Durability: 46/70

Equipment Requirements: Strength 10 or higher

Equipment effect: Slash damage +10%. After killing an enemy, there is a chance to trigger the [Combo Slash] effect, which grants an additional 30% strength boost to the next attack. After killing an enemy with [Combo Slash], this effect can be stacked up to three times.

"Not bad!"

Bai Shuodong's eyes lit up. His original weapon had been damaged in the battle, so he could make do with a long-handled axe.

Although this weapon is not a spear, it has high base stats and a special effect called "Chain Slash," making it quite good among bronze-level weapons.

Unfortunately, this weapon requires 10 points of strength to equip, while Bai Shuodong's normal strength is 8.8, so he can only use it with difficulty and it is not very flexible.

but...

Once the Azure Wolf Battle Banner is planted, triggering the [Exhilarating State] which increases all attributes by 30%, Bai Shuodong's Strength attribute will increase to 10.8, making it easy for him to wield this weapon.

Keep this safe! Keep this safe!

He then found a quiet place and took out the treasure chest he had obtained from the battlefield.

One bronze treasure chest and four black iron treasure chests.

open!

Congratulations on obtaining: Golden Healing Medicine

The medicine isn't very useful to me; I'll give it to the wounded.

Congratulations on gaining 46 Psionic Points!

It's decent but not particularly good.

Congratulations on obtaining: Heart of Chengdu

"?!"

Last one, the bronze treasure chest, open!

Suddenly, a flash of black light appeared, and Bai Shuodong's expression changed instantly.

Congratulations on obtaining the Blood Demon Armor!

Blood Demon Armor

Level: first level

Quality: Black Iron (Can be grown)

Equipment type: Armor

Defense: 12 (applies only to armor-covered areas)

Durability: ∞

Equipment requirements: None

Equipment effect: Strength +2, Agility +2, Constitution +2, Maximum Health +100

Equipment characteristics:

① Blood Thirst: The Blood Demon Armor craves blood constantly, consuming it once every hour. If the host cannot satisfy it, the Blood Demon Armor will directly consume 100 of the host's life force until the host dies.

Additional note: As the Blood Demon Armor grows, the life force it devours will also increase accordingly.

② Blood Curse: The Blood Demon Armor possesses a special spirituality. The user cannot voluntarily remove the Blood Demon Armor, but its spirituality will weaken after the Blood Demon Armor has been thoroughly bathed in blood.

If Blood Demon Armor discovers that it has been abandoned, it will trigger the [Blood Demon Curse].

[Blood Demon Curse]: Blood Demon Armor will use the blood inside the armor as a medium to cast a curse. The cursed unit will suffer 10 [instant death] judgments per second for one hour.

③ Blood Sorrow: The Blood Demon Armor craves an eternal host. When it appears, it will automatically bind to the nearest high-quality unit as quickly as possible and actively enter the equipped state immediately.

If the host is killed by the enemy, the Blood Demon Armor will use the indiscriminate [Blood Demon Curse] on all targets within a very large surrounding area, consuming all blood energy, and its quality will automatically drop to Black Iron grade.

④ Blood Protection: The Blood Demon Armor is a special piece of equipment formed by combining the strongest blood and armor. When the user is injured, the Blood Demon Armor will automatically release [Demonic Blood] at the wound, keeping the wound in a [normal] state so that the user can fight normally.

If a disability or injury occurs, the Blood Demon Armor will automatically generate limbs using [Demonic Blood] to replace the injury.

【Demonic Blood】 will protect wounds and damaged flesh. When injured, it will reduce damage by 10%-30%, depending on the type of injury.

If life force is injected into the area covered by [Demonic Blood], it will enter a [High-Speed ​​Regeneration] state.

[Demon Blood]: 0

Replenishment: It can consume blood to replenish, and the effect is better with the user's own blood.

⑤ Growth through Blood: The Blood Demon Armor can grow by consuming blood, thus improving its quality.

Brief introduction: It has had countless owners, but has never been truly owned by anyone.

"Growth-type...curse-type equipment!"

Bai Shuodong grabbed the Blood Demon Armor without a second's hesitation and immediately applied the [Disintegration Mark].

In an instant, he saw a vast battlefield stretching as far as the eye could see.

On the battlefield stood a general, stepping over countless corpses, constantly wielding his weapon and fighting, slaughtering all the enemies around him. But the enemies around him surged towards him like a tide.

The general stood before the canyon, fighting alone against tens of thousands of soldiers for three days and three nights, with blood flowing like a river.

The enemy retreated.

His body gradually dried up.

But a faint smile remained on his face until he finally became a dried-up corpse.

Then, the armor stood up and grew limb armor and head armor made of blood.

It cradled its master's corpse, blood seeping from the gaps in the armor. It had no body, only embracing its former master, blood overflowing from its head armor.

Then it started to rain.

Raindrops fell on the armor, dripping down through the gaps onto the parched body, as if it were weeping.

The Blood Demon Armor was born from that time.

Initially, it was just a suit of armor that could absorb blood to grow, without any curse. However, after the war that lasted for three days and three nights, the death of its host made it feel that it had killed its original master, and it eventually gained the [Curse] trait.

...

"Whoo~"
