Clang, clang, clang!
Viscount Fergus and Lord Harry were fighting with the skinny man. Viscount Fergus was fighting the skinny man from the front, while Lord Harry was attacking the skinny man from behind and from the side from time to time.
The skinny man had already put on a pair of black iron-colored gloves on his hands, and the sound of metal collision was caused by the collision between the opponent's gloves and Viscount Fergus's sword.
However, facing the siege of Viscount Fergus and Lord Harry, the skinny man was obviously at a disadvantage and would get injured from time to time. There were already several wounds on his body, but the injuries were not serious.
The injuries on his body continued to increase, and the large predatory beasts he controlled were killed before they even got close. Anxiety appeared on the skinny man's face, and an invisible wave spread from his body to the surrounding deciduous trees covered in ice and snow.
Swish, swish, swish!
Suddenly, the surrounding deciduous trees began to grow green branches, and their roots swayed like sharp swords, stabbing at Viscount Fergus and Lord Harry.
Viscount Fergus and Lord Harry's expressions couldn't help but change, and they quickly hid aside.
Judging from the momentum, the sharpness of these branches will never be weaker than the real arrows, and this is exactly the case.
Puff puff!
Holes appeared one after another on the snow, each one extremely deep. If it stabbed a person, it would definitely be one bloody hole after another.
Whoosh!
Taking this opportunity, the skinny man turned around and left.
If he continues to stay here, he will probably die, especially since the other party already knows his identity as a wanted criminal by the Marquis.
"drink-"
At this moment, Viscount Fergus suddenly shouted loudly, and a meter-long green wind blade suddenly appeared.
Tsk, Tsk, Tsk!
The wind blade easily cut off the branches between Viscount Fergus and the skinny man, and went straight after the skinny man.
"not good!"
The movement coming from behind startled the skinny man, and he turned to the right to avoid it.
Although he didn't see what was chasing behind him, his instinct told him that it was definitely not something good.
puff!
But just when he turned sideways and before he could lift his left foot, the cyan wind blade had already cut through his left thigh.
"ah-"
The bright red blood spattered crazily, several meters away. He roared in pain, lost balance on one foot, and fell to the ground with a plop.
He knew that he was finished, he had lost his right leg, and it was impossible for him to escape from an opponent of the same level.
He turned back and looked at Viscount Fergus with resentment. He was unwilling to give in. His experiment had not yet succeeded. If his experiment succeeded, he would be able to tear into pieces a mere fierce-blooded warrior with a single order.
His reluctance was visible to Viscount Fergus, but the sword in Viscount Fergus's hand was not soft at all.
puff!
The long sword cut into the skinny man's neck and emerged from the back of his neck. His head flew up with a look of malice on it.
"call-"
Not far away from the skinny man's body, where the blood could not be splashed, Viscount Fergus stood there holding a bloody sword and let out a sigh of relief.
Although the opponent had lost the ability to escape, after all, the opponent was a fierce blood warrior, and he could also use the blood beast ability. Just in case, he killed the opponent directly.
After sheathing the long sword, Viscount Fergus looked towards Gray and asked.
"Gray, how is your left hand?"
When he arrived, he happened to see Gray and the skinny man punch each other, and then Gray's whole body was blown away.
Because of this, he attacked the skinny man in anger before he knew his identity.
"There's still some numbness, but it should be fine."
Gray wasn't sure.
"let me see."
Viscount Fergus had already strode over, held up Gray's left hand and inspected it. After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The muscles are a little strained, but the bones are fine. I won't practice for the next few days."
Viscount Fergus raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of doubt in his heart.
It had not been a day since Gray became a high-level Blood Warrior, and he hadn't had time to tell him. As for Gray's previous performance in hunting beasts, he thought Gray used the power of blood to increase his movement speed, so he thought Gray was still a mid-level Blood Warrior.
However, with the strength of the mid-level blood warrior, he punched the ferocious blood warrior, and actually only suffered a slight strain. This kind of injury was not too serious, but too light.
However, he was relieved when he thought that the skinny man didn't even take out his gloves before. The skinny man probably didn't try his best.
Gray could sense Viscount Fergus's doubts, but with Lord Harry and his son present, it was naturally inconvenient to reveal his current strength.
"How did you get into trouble with this wanted man of the Marquis?"
Without delving further into this issue, Viscount Fergus asked again.
"When I went deep into the black soil forest, I saw this wooden house. When I wanted to explore this wooden house, I met this man."
Gray said after recalling carefully.
"As he spoke, this man started to kill me. Now that I think about it, he may have thought that I had discovered his identity as a wanted criminal, or was afraid that I would spread the news that he was here, so he killed me."
"Father, this man's blood beast ability should be to control plants. How did he control the beast?"
Next to him, Bernal asked with doubts.
"I'm not sure. This house was probably built by McCarthy Thompson. Let's go inside and take a look."
Viscount Fergus shook his head.
It was also the first time that he saw that beasts could be controlled without any power, and there were so many of them.
Although he knew that there was a special blood method that could control beasts, there were many restrictions on the control. There were strict limits on the strength and number of the controlled objects, which were far less than the wanted criminal McCarthy Thompson.
With doubts in their hearts, everyone opened the door and walked into the wooden house.
What catches the eye is a long table.
On the long table, there are many bottles and jars, as well as some rune items that have more than one purpose.
It was very similar to the bottles and jars I saw at Master Dulu's last time. It was obvious that this man was indeed an alchemist.
"This is… ?"
Everyone searched separately in the room. On a coffee table near the wall, Gray found almost dozens of papers filled with contents.
It was clamped by a wooden clamp. Obviously this thing should be quite important to the skinny man, otherwise he would not hold it with a wooden clamp so cherished.
Picking up the stack of papers, Gray flipped through them quickly.
The first twenty or so pages contained some reasoning formulas about dosage and properties that Gray couldn't understand.
Gray just passed by, and finally there were some experimental records that Gray could understand. Judging from the format, they seemed to be experimental records in the form of diaries.
October 3rd.
I succeeded. After countless failed improvements, I successfully controlled a beast with drugs.
October 15th.
The number of beasts under control reached 38.
October 20th.
In the past few days, I have been capturing wild beasts in the red leaf forest, and I have controlled more than a hundred wild beasts.
…
November 3rd.
The beast that was initially controlled became resistant to the drugs and lost control one after another.
Facts have proved that in order to be practical, continuous improvement is needed, and the time for resistance to develop must be extended. If the resistance can be eliminated, that would be the best.
On November 12, there was no progress in the research. The strength of the drug was still too low. With the current strength and the resistance of the blood beast, it was impossible to succeed on the blood beast.
The record ends here and stops at the few days before Gray and the others arrived here.
"Gray, what's written?"
After Gray finished reading, Viscount Fergus and others looked sideways at him and asked.
"This man created a drug that can control wild beasts for a certain period of time. After this time, the wild beasts will no longer be controlled by this drug because they have developed resistance to the drug."
"Most of the beasts in the black earth forest were caught by him from other places and controlled in this way."
There was a hint of amazement on Gray's face, and he finally knew why the skinny man could control the beast.
"And what this person ultimately wanted to control was the blood beast. He wanted to improve this drug to finally achieve the goal of controlling the blood beast, but he did not succeed."
After listening to Gray's words, everyone was amazed. This man could actually refine the medicine to control wild beasts. Although it was not perfect yet, it was already extremely impressive.
However, I felt a little relieved when I thought that the other party was someone who had served the Sidney Marquis family. If he didn't have the corresponding talent for refining medicine, how could he be favored by the Sidney family.
If he had not carried out human experiments, which are prohibited by the kingdom, his future achievements would definitely not be low, and he might even be able to become a master of alchemy.
"Here is a leather book."
The search continued, and soon, under the mattress, Bernal found a book entirely covered in leather.
He opened the book, glanced at it a few times, and then spoke.
"This is a blood method called "Wooden Monkey". It should be the blood method this person practices!"
"It is indeed the blood method he practiced."
Viscount Fergus nodded. There was an introduction to this man's blood method on the wanted notice. The blood method he practiced was indeed "Wooden Monkey".
Moreover, the blood method of Wooden Monkey can control plant growth to a certain extent, which can be said to be an excellent auxiliary method for alchemists.
In addition, people who practice the blood method "Wooden Monkey" have extreme flexibility and have unique advantages in refining medicine, which can be said to be very suitable.
