Lu Yao glanced at the numbers above the Blood Knight’s head, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared and his fists were clenched.
Playing XX ah!
Lv60!
Is it reasonable for a level 60 boss to appear in the Novice Village? Where are the simulator’s dog operation and dog planning? Save it, quickly save it ah!
What’s the point of playing this game?
Lu Yao immediately typed and urged Isabelle to get out of the battle.
However, the battle scene wasn’t as lopsided as Lu Yao thought. Isabelle was indeed struggling to cope with the Blood Knights, and was constantly losing blood, but was still tenaciously resisting.
The top of her head was constantly deducting blood.
-28
-29
-27
For Isabelle’s blood, such damage was also very dangerous.
However, Lu Yao always felt that something wasn’t right.
He quickly tapped the Blood Knight in quick succession and got the detailed data of this boss.
After taking a screenshot, he immediately greeted Isabelle and evacuated.
Luckily, the Blood Knight wasn’t very fast, and it seemed that the castle had some sort of restriction that he wasn’t able to come out from it. Isabelle managed to retreat in one piece even though she was injured.
Only then did Lu Yao look at the screenshot.
……

[Corruption Maker]

[Flesh and Blood Bitter Weakness LV2]
[Nevid’s Exclusive Ability] Whistle Blower grants Nevid the ability to form legions. Nevid is able to raise the Corruptor rank through training and summoning, evolving a more elite Corrupted Guard.
……
Through the panel data on the screenshot, Lu Yao could roughly see the positioning of this Blood Knight.
He himself was a Knight’s Corner similar to an army practice, training and forming legions of Corruptors here for the Whistle Blower. Nevid’s most valuable value was also here.
The Blood Knight was a commander-type hero who could provide the Whistle Blower with a constant supply of soldiers, and [Corruption Manufacture] and [Flesh and Blood Suffering Weakness] were considered to be godly techniques for recruiting and training soldiers.
As long as he could provide him with corpses and salt, the Blood Knight was able to create armies of humongous Corruptors in bulk.
The real secret of the Salt Pond Tribe was also this boss.
The Blood Knight needed salt and corpses, and all transactions revolved around these two points.
The existence of the Salt Ponds made salt not at all in short supply, then the focus was on collecting as many corpses as possible, especially corpses of powerful species.
Therefore, the Salt Pond Tribe had been eyeing the East River Tribe’s sea monsters. Not only did they set their sights on the Barbarian Tribe and the Cave Monsters, but at one point they also wanted to take over the ghost city of Saniro at the southern land’s end.
It was all in search of collecting the corpses of powerful beings.
Lu Yao made further theoretical analyses.
The Blood Knight was a good positional battler: he wasn’t afraid of long range damage, his attacks came with mana damage, he could create Corruptors while fighting, he wasn’t afraid of a meat grinder at all, and he could continue to practice and upgrade his soldiers’ ranks.
The other side of the advantage was also a flaw.
In other words, the Blood Knight was not the kind of vanguard or enemy that could break through single-handedly, nor did he have the ability to instantly turn the tide of battle single-handedly. He needed time to form a legion to lay out a formation and step by step to gain victory.
It happened to be two extremes with Isabel.
Although Isabelle had the [Forest Sword], she mostly didn’t carry these created creatures and was better at solving problems alone.
These were some of the results that Lu Yao had analysed from the data. However, theory always had to be combined with practice, so he asked the participant’s Isabelle again.
“My lord, Nevid’s power comes from Forrest.”
Isabel said in the dialogue box, “He was created by Piper from Forrest’s corpse. I can feel that aura, so he’ll exhibit a state of confusion and his battle power won’t be able to be fully utilised as a result.”
“The rules of this world sealed him, greatly cutting his power because he wasn’t supposed to exist here.”
“Creating Corruptors also continues to consume his mana.”
“Earlier, I followed your orders, my lord, and exterminated a large number of Corruptors. He consumed a large amount of mana by continuously creating replacements. That’s why the Blood Knight has now become extraordinarily weak and his fighting ability has further decayed.”
Lu Yao’s eyes lit up as he listened.
A countermeasure came to his mind.
If this process was followed, first continuously decapitating the Corruptor and consuming his Mana so that he could not use those abilities. The Blood Knight was continuously in a state of weakness and confusion, and could only exert 50% of his combat ability.
Numerically, Isabelle’s damage could break the Blood Knight’s defence.
“My lord, I’m afraid I can’t.”
Isabelle maintained a cool caution about the battle.
She said, “Even under these conditions, it would be difficult for me to withstand multiple attacks from the Blood Knight.”
Lu Yao thought that this was a problem.
She only had 140 life points left now.
In front of the Blood Knights, Isabelle’s panel was still too brittle, and behind the Equal Rank Divide was a huge gap in all-round values.
Lu Yao was scratching his head a bit.
Obviously, the Blood Knight with the fatal flaw was in front of him, but he just didn’t have a way to break through the opponent’s weakness.
It was like a giant whose fatal point was at the back of his head, an unarmed child could not reach his opponent’s neck even if he tried his best to jump, he couldn’t hit him at all.
Suddenly, Lu Yao remembered something.
[Statue of the Flayer LV3]
A treasure made by a skin flayer. It can open the Beastification Ritual, seizing the sanity, cognition, and memories of a living sacrifice by gazing at it, reducing it to a powerful flayed beast in exchange for the power of faith given by the Flayer.
Does this thing work?
“……”
Isabel thought for a while, “My lord, I can open the statue to try.”
After a short rest, Isabelle rushed into the castle again.
This time, she held on for about ten seconds before withdrawing again.
Because Isabelle’s life value had dropped further to only 63 points, there was no more room for trial and error.
However this attempt was significant.
A negative status [Flayer’s Curse] was added to the Blood Knight’s head.
A text message surfaced.
[The Statue of the Stripper has stripped the sacrifice, and the Stripper has granted you 100 Faith.]
Only then did Lu Yao figure out that the real ability mechanism of the [Statue of the Flayer] was the curse of the other god behind it, the Flayer.
Every god really wasn’t a saving grace.
However, using the Flayer’s treasure against the Whistler’s henchmen was just the right thing to do.
Although the [Skin Peeler’s Curse] couldn’t be seen to have any effect on the Blood Knight in a short period of time, Lu Yao decided to step up his efforts to further mentally pollute the Blood Knight.
Dude wasn’t in a hurry anyway.
Over the next week, Lu Yao f*cked with the Blood Knights.
Apart from the occasional glance at the Garlic Tribe and the ghost town of Saniro, the vast majority of his focus was on the Salt Pond Tribe’s castle.
After one patient attempt, Isabelle finally completed the quest.
With the [Flayer’s Curse] buff persistently in effect, continuously gazing at the sculpture, even a LV60 Blood Knight could not be exempted from the effects of the best*alisation Ritual.
He became more and more eccentric.
When fighting Isabelle, the Blood Knight would shout out words of unknown significance.
“Meat, the meat on you!”
“Woman, terrible woman, beautiful woman, suspicious woman!”
“Hunger, like a shadow.”
“I want to sleep, I want to sleep!”
“Desire is burning, burning me!”
“God of the Forest, Whistler, Corpses, Bones, Stranger in a Strange Land ……”
The mentally deranged Blood Knight began to not distinguish between enemy and self, and he regarded all living things around him as enemies.
Whether it was Isabel or any other corrupted person, if they came even slightly close to the Blood Knight, they would be attacked by him. Since he had become insane, he no longer used his various abilities and only used the most primitive physical attacks.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yao was slightly relieved.
It’s not in vain that I wasted so much time, this boss is finally almost mad …… He can no longer issue various commands to the Corrupted.
In this way, the Salt Pond Tribe with the Blood Knight as its core is no longer a threat.
