My talent panel can be increased

Then, he grabbed the head of the Crimson Hermit and walked step by step toward the blood-red spear that had pinned down the other Crimson Hermit, his steps steady and powerful.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'll do anything you want, anything at all!"

The Crimson Hermit, dragged along by its head, howled in agony. It thrashed and struggled, trying to attack, but the pain in its head rendered it unable to think. It could only thrash about like a wild beast, leaving several bloody trails on the ground.

Can talk?

Ye Mingqiu paused for a moment, but quickly realized that he had been misled by the monster-like form of the other party. The Crimson Hermit could disguise himself as a human during the day before revealing his true form, and would only reveal his true appearance when eating or fighting.

Therefore, they can not only speak, but also transform into human form when needed.

The red-clad hermit noticed his pause and mistakenly thought that his voice had attracted the other person. After all, in human society, many people are willing to act as dogs for her voice and appearance, and some men are like that.

So the red-clad hermit, as if grasping at a straw, continued, "Don't kill me! I'm a girl! A girl! Very pretty!"

Ye Mingqiu ignored it, silently walked to the blood spear that had impaled another type of Crimson Hermit, and pulled it out. The Crimson Hermit's remains, pierced by the blood spear and drained of its boiling blood, turned into black fragments scattered on the ground, and a kill notification sounded.

[Notification: You have defeated a Level 2 Crimson Shadow (Elite)]

"No! Don't kill me! I'm beautiful and clean. I'll do anything you want, I'll do anything!"

"puff!"

The blood spear fell.

[Notification: You have defeated a Level 2 Crimson Shadow (Elite)]

Ye Mingqiu looked at the Crimson Hermit on the ground, whose throat had been pierced by a blood spear, his gaze indifferent and calm, without any unusual fluctuation.

To him, it was just seeing an enemy desperately grasping at any chance of survival before dying. It was a common phenomenon, nothing to mock or pay too much attention to, just as there's no need to stop and watch a soldier die on the battlefield.

As for gender issues

In true, pure combat, there is no distinction between men and women. Treating someone differently based on gender is essentially a betrayal and impurity of the fight.

A battle is a battle, an enemy is an enemy, to kill or be killed. Only by maintaining the highest purity can one become stronger faster, which is only natural to him.

Ye Mingqiu was also aware that he was a born killer. When he first stepped into the battlefield, he was able to kill enemies despite feeling uncomfortable. He could also overcome the discomfort in a short time and fight in a more efficient state, rapidly improving his special skill level and becoming stronger.

Is this considered a special hidden talent?

Maybe so.

Then, he turned his gaze to the depths of the assembly workshop, continuing to advance with heavy steps, while summarizing the intelligence he had gained in the battle.

Combat Information: The Crimson Shadow is extremely fast, with sharp claws and teeth, but lacks strength and physical defense. It appears to possess life-enhancing abilities, with a rapid natural regeneration rate, exhibiting remarkable resilience in extreme situations. Its blood seems to possess some kind of special energy; losing this energy will cause it to disintegrate into black fragments.

In summary: High attack and speed, low defense, high health and fast recovery. Blood Spear has a certain restraining effect on it, and its blood has special value.

Deep in the darkness was a huge, blood-stained iron gate. As Ye Mingqiu approached, heavy breathing gradually rose from inside the gate, and a small amount of crimson smoke slowly drifted out from the other side of the gate.

The massive iron gate slowly opened, accompanied by a low chuckle.

Behind the door, a man in a white work uniform was holding a notebook. He looked at Ye Mingqiu, who had arrived, with great interest and said, "Not bad, someone actually dared to find this place. I wonder if you are confident or just a clueless greenhorn who knows nothing."

Ye Mingqiu remained silent, simply assuming a fighting stance, his eyes beneath his blue face and fangs fixed intently on the man. He could sense that this seemingly ordinary man possessed a power far greater than that of the Crimson Hermits outside, and a higher quality of boiling blood.

The crystallized patterns on the blood spear shimmered, like a demon greedily watching its prey before feeding.

"Won't you answer?"

The man laughed, and his body underwent a rapid transformation. His crimson muscles burst through his clothes, and the scattered blood energy surged like waves, instantly transforming into a gigantic and ferocious blood beast, its scarlet vertical pupils radiating a dangerous light.

Chapter 45 The Bloodthirsty Butcher

The change lasts approximately 1.5 seconds, during which there is no special energy protection, so you can try to attack during this time.

Ye Mingqiu calmly analyzed the intelligence.

"Roar!!"

The crimson monster roared and howled. It was nearly twice the size of the previous Crimson Hermit, and its physique was as robust as a small giant.

Moreover, its skin is no longer a sickly dark red like exposed muscle. After stabilization, the muscle is closer to the deep brown of solidified magma, almost black, covered with tangled, slightly pulsating, thick blood vessels, with a dark red light flowing inside.

wrong!

Ye Mingqiu's eyes changed as he realized that the monster's roar seemed to contain some special power, a power that could shake his soul.

[Note: The Bloodthirsty Butcher's 'Soul Roar' will inflict a 2-second Soul Separation effect on you.]

[Note: Your abnormal status resistance assessment was successful; you are immune to this Soul Separation effect]

Ye Mingqiu's inherent mental attributes are not low, and he also possesses two passive abilities that increase resistance to abnormal statuses: [Divine Valor] and [Undying Tyrant]. Even without entering [Tyrant Form], Ye Mingqiu still has very high resistance to abnormal statuses.

He didn't know exactly how high it was, but ever since he became a psionicist, he had never been controlled, not even for a second.

At the same time, the Crimson Butcher moved, its massive body unleashing a terrifying speed disproportionate to its size! Its heavy footsteps pounded on the scrap metal on the ground, producing loud "clang! clang!" sounds, causing the ground to tremble slightly with each step!

It casually picked up the bone blade by the door, grinned maliciously, and swung it all the way down. The bone blade fell with a whooshing sound, as if it would cleave Ye Mingqiu in two the next moment.

"boom!"

It cleaved through the air

The Blood Butcher felt a pang of pain in his heart, and soon he noticed that the eyes hidden behind the blue-faced, fanged mask beside him were watching him at extremely close range.

What kind of gaze was that?

Pure killing intent. Pure indifference.

Blood trickled from the corner of the Blood Butcher's mouth as intense pain surged through him like a tidal wave. The sensation of his blood being absorbed was excruciating, like a fish having its life-sustaining water drained away.

What a fast spear!

His weapon is not right.

Just moments before, as the bone blade fell, Ye Mingqiu's blood spear simultaneously thrust out, and his attack was faster and more ruthless, directly piercing the heart, giving his opponent no chance whatsoever.

He discovered that people with the ability to force control always have a similar flaw: after they activate their control ability, the moves they use afterward will have significant weaknesses, making them more vulnerable to being killed in one blow.

This is extremely dangerous in battles of the same level. Never overestimate the effectiveness of control, and always be vigilant about your opponent.

I've learned this lesson for you!

"Roar!!"

The Crimson Butcher roared hoarsely, and a terrifying crimson power erupted in an instant, shaking Ye Mingqiu, who had pierced its heart, away.

It clutched its chest with one hand, and a higher level of boiling blood overflowed uncontrollably, spreading crimson mist everywhere. But soon, the wound to the Blood Butcher's chest and heart began to heal itself at an extremely fast speed, as if piercing the heart was no problem for it.

Ye Mingqiu did not stop them, but simply watched while analyzing the other party's intelligence.

Before facing the Crimson Supreme, he must understand the characteristics of this crimson monster as much as possible. He could let it go when facing the Crimson Hermit, but the Crimson Butcher was strong enough that it was necessary to analyze some information from it.

The Crimson Butcher has a vital point, but attacking it will not have a fatal effect. It can recover by consuming energy, and its self-healing speed is extremely terrifying, far exceeding that of ordinary Crimson Shadows.

Meanwhile, the Crimson Butcher is faster, with about 17 points of agility and about 22-25 strength. It is impossible to estimate its exact strength without a direct confrontation. Its physical defense is not high, with a maximum of 15 constitution. The blood spear does not provide much resistance when penetrating its body, but this guy has a very thick health bar.

Overall, it's roughly at the level of a level 3 leader, but with its super vitality and crowd control abilities, it's even more troublesome than ordinary leaders.

But this is just the Crimson Butcher, not the Crimson Supreme. If the Crimson Supreme were a Level 3 Monarch, or even a stronger being, then I would have almost no hope of victory.

There's nothing we can do; the level difference is just too great.

"What kind of look is that?"

The Blood Butcher spoke in a hoarse voice.

Ye Mingqiu's gaze was familiar to him; it didn't look like the gaze of someone fighting an enemy, but more like the gaze of a lab technician testing data in an experiment.

Am I just a plaything to be tested in your eyes?

"Stop looking down on people!"

The Blood Butcher's rage was ignited, painful memories flashed through his mind, and a violent aura erupted. Crimson power surrounded his body, forming a crimson armor. He crouched down, and his thick legs suddenly exerted force.

"boom!"

The concrete ground shattered instantly, and a huge crimson figure shot out like a cannonball, its bone blades arcing through the air, unleashing boundless power.

"Qiang!!!"

A deafening clang of metal clashing rang out, sparks flying like fireworks. The bone blade that brushed past Ye Mingqiu cleaved a huge gash in the half-meter-thick discarded alloy base, while the bone blade itself remained intact.

This bone blade is extraordinary; Ye Mingqiu's pupils contracted slightly.

"Roar!!"

After his attack missed, the Crimson Butcher did not hesitate. He roared and swung his giant arm, sweeping it like a battering ram with astonishing speed.

Beneath the mask with its blue face and fangs, Ye Mingqiu's lips curled slightly upward as he whispered to himself: This time, let me test your mental resistance.

"have you had enough!"

Ye Mingqiu roared angrily, the huge sound wave directly drowning out the Blood Butcher's roar, the deafening sound bursting out with a terrifying mental deterrent effect.

The Blood Butcher, wielding his bone blade, seemed to lose his strength instantly and fell forward. Ye Mingqiu instinctively wanted to launch an attack, but his previous experience with the Black Armor General and the Blood Butcher made him restrain his impulse and conservatively thrust his blood spear towards the Blood Butcher's head.

"boom!!"

The sound of weapons clashing rang out. The white bone blade blocked the blood spear in time. The Crimson Butcher raised its head, and the two scarlet lights deep in its eye sockets flickered violently like candle flames blown by a gale.

Does he have a high level of mental strength, or some kind of control or resistance ability?

Ye Mingqiu's eyes changed slightly. Fortunately, he had restrained his impulse just now, otherwise he might have lost health points.

Then

So what about this trick?

A surge of murderous intent!

A tidal wave of murderous intent surged forth, engulfing the blood-red butcher like a tsunami.

The moment it paused, Ye Mingqiu deflected the bone blade, slashed the Blood Butcher's eyes with one spear, severed its tendons with two spears, and pierced its heart with three spears. The blood spears greedily sucked up the high-quality boiling blood in the Blood Butcher's body, and the blood crystal patterns shimmered rhythmically.

Chapter 46 The Death of the Butcher

The difference in results is truly striking.

Compared to the level 2 War Roar, the unleveled skill - Killing Intent Wave is clearly more powerful, has a stronger control effect, and can deal a lot of damage.

Of course, the core reason for this phenomenon is that War Roar's level is too low. Although its star rating is higher, it can't even unleash half of its power.

As for Killing Intent Wave, although it is only a two-star skill, the skill it comprehends is a complete version. Naturally, its power is stronger than that of a three-star skill at a lower level.

Shortly after, the Crimson Butcher regained consciousness, but only struggled briefly before falling into a deathly silence.

It wasn't that it didn't want to resist, but the Blood Butcher, having lost its eyes and had its tendons severed, was incapacitated. Under normal circumstances, it would recover from this level of injury in just a few breaths, and it wouldn't affect its fighting ability at all.

But at this moment, the blood spear was stuck in its chest, greedily drawing out the boiling blood in its body and the blood energy contained within it. With its power drained, it could no longer heal itself.

Did the blood energy erupt again, knocking the opponent back?

No, the Blood Butcher's blood energy isn't unlimited. Having had its heart pierced twice and its blood energy drained in large quantities, it can no longer do that.

"You know what? I used to be human too."

The Crimson Butcher slowly raised his head, uttering a hoarse, low voice.

"."

Ye Mingqiu did not answer.

“I once had cancer and was dying. At that time, a doctor told me that he could save my life through the most advanced experimental medical methods.”

"I agreed and signed the agreement."

"Under general anesthesia, I was wheeled into the operating room. Blood-red instruments were placed around me. The doctor didn't start the surgery immediately. Instead, he used restraints to firmly fix me to the alloy bed. The restraints were made of high-purity silver alloy wire mixed with Dyneema, which had the effect of suppressing blood energy. Ordinary Crimson Shadows couldn't break free at all."

"After the surgery began, the doctor injected red blood into my body. It was burning hot, and my blood vessels and muscles were burned."

"The power of the source blood makes me regenerate constantly. I can neither live well nor die. The feeling of being unable to live or die drives me into complete madness. I struggle desperately, but the restraints hold me in place, making it impossible for me to move."

"Next."

“I spent two months on that alloy bed, almost driven mad by the torture. The power of the source blood transformed me into a Crimson Shadow, which was exactly what the doctor wanted. He would smile and say things like, ‘This is for the progress of humanity’ or ‘Thank you for your contribution to all mankind,’ and then torture me mercilessly to continue extracting relevant data.”

"Finally, a powerful Crimson Shadow stormed into the hospital, killed the doctor, and rescued me. His intention was not to save me, but to prevent humans from learning too much about the Crimson Shadows. It was an order from the Crimson Supreme."

“I watched it burn the files, wipe the data from the doctor’s computer, and erase everything related to that period. You know what? It was a really weird feeling. Even though it was the negative memories that were being erased, I was sad, in pain, and felt that everything I had experienced was meaningless.”

"You're crazy."
