Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 385: Infiltrate the material world
Bloodletting Vampire!
One of the most common lesser demons within the warfaction!
However, even the least of demons is a horror and terror for mankind.
Those audience members, lured by the pool of blood and unable to move their feet, naturally fell to their knees out of fear the moment they beheld the true forms of these higher-dimensional demons.
With faces blank, they trembled like chaff in the wind. Experience more tales on novelbuddy
"Puchi!" The giant demon, not yet fully risen from the pool of blood, suddenly thrust out the Blood Magic Sword in its hand.
The black and ferocious giant swordblade easily pierced through the body of a kneeling, stupefied spectator. The demonic sword throbbed as if it were a living thing, the blood was instantly drawn out, and the body dried up in an instant like a mummy thousands of years old.
"Pu—" The sword was pulled out, and the body crumbled to ash.
"It’s time for you to show your might," said Bai E, his gaze slightly focused, addressing those behind him.
While about half of the audience were fleeing, the three players who had dealt with Kuang Xin and were sent out had now returned to stand behind Bai E.
"Yes!" The three of them looked eagerly at the several tall blood-shadows climbing out of the pool.
Since entering the game, they’d fought mostly foot soldiers, and the strangest, strongest opponents they had encountered were merely the green-skinned orcs in the last pool mission.
Now these creatures, replete with magical fantasy, allowed them truly to feel like they were frolicking freely in a world with an exceptionally liberated worldview.
Dai Lian drew his bow, intending to shoot an arrow first to test the waters.
"Evacuate everyone."
"..."
"Huh?"
The three, already brimming with fighting spirit and ready to battle, could have never expected that their very first order would be just this.
Meanwhile, Bai E too took down the Folding Compound Bow hanging from his waist. He intended to shoot an arrow first to test the waters while explaining, "The presence of these people will provide them with power—blood is the core of their strength. Remember, when facing demons, saving others is akin to saving yourself."
Mankind is naturally allied, but in the face of demons, souls captured by demons can instead become a source of strength for them.
Should one strike first to slaughter before the demons take action, or rescue oneselves’ kin before the demons, to weaken their strength?
Everything hinges on a single thought.
Some pure-minded enforcers from the Arbitration Place often prefer to annihilate completely, adopting a scorched earth strategy to block the invasion of demons.
But Bai E does not favor that approach.
"Yes!"
Hearing Bai E’s command, Gong Yan readily agreed, her tone resolute.
She then picked up two nearby stupefied spectators and turned to flee.
Her petite frame was hugely disproportionate to their bulky builds, and although she didn’t have Kuang Xin’s strength, her gradually increasing level in Spiritual Energy now enabled her to accomplish much more with its aid.
There weren’t many spectators left; half had already fled. Those who hadn’t been killed instantly were relatively easy to rescue.
Bai E refocused his attention, concentrating on the bow and arrow in his hands.
He wondered... just how strong these demons might be.
This wasn’t his first encounter with demons, but his first brush with an Essential Fear demon was unusual, as it had a high rank but weak power.
Subsequent encounters involved either the small card demons that attacked the Spiritual Body in higher dimensions, or ordinary demons that possessed humans.
The true form of the demons now emerging, completely summoned through human resource sacrifice in some kind of offering ritual, was incomparable to any he’d faced before.
Not to mention, in the limited knowledge about demons that Bai E had encountered, these enforcer-termed "Bloodletting Vampires" were among the most combat-ready of the lower-tier demons from the four major factions.

Now he faced... a total of five.
Time to test their strength.
Bai E’s fingers clenched tightly on the nock, targeting the crimson bodies with bulging muscles.
The slight draw of the bow seemed to summon the essence of the blood vortex onto the arrow itself.
The cold arrowhead, reflecting bright bloody light, shot out in an instant!
"Swoosh!"
A whirlwind followed the arrow—Piercing Wind Breaker!
The skill unlocked after reaching level 4 in Ranged Weapon Specialization, a special form of "Wind Stabilizer" from the powerful shooting skill tree, didn’t involve more explosive skills. The Spiritual Energy consumed was just within Bai E’s current capacity to maintain a balance with "Rapid Recovery," thus it was the highest, sustained output he could deliver.
"Puh!" The arrow easily pierced the crimson body, bringing with it a chunk of flesh and blood.
[Your attack has caused 36 points of piercing damage to the target.]
While the attack caused damage, it also provided Bai E with more combat information about his opponent—
[??? (Demon) (Chaotic): Health 164/200 (Blood Pool state, rapid recovery); Defensive Power 20; Action Power 100%; Trait: Vampiric Demonic Sword...]
[Vampiric Demonic Sword: A sufficient blood sacrifice can allow it to deliver strikes far beyond its standard, and each life taken by the sword will provide ample feedback to the main body, boosting defensive power, maximum health, health recovery, and other attributes.]
Whether it’s their bodies or the weapons in their hands, while they appear to be different entities, they are essentially extraordinary things coalesced from the essence of higher-dimensional space, and essentially part of "one demon" conceptually.
Bai E’s attack easily tore through the relatively weaker defenses of this sort of demonic foot soldier, leaving a gaping hole through which one could see.
However, as the red sinews writhed, the punctured wound instantly sealed back to its original state.
