"Blood beast."
"No, it's a blood beast..."
…
The sudden appearance of the blood beast caused everyone except Viscount Fergus and Gray to change their expressions. Even Edge's expression could not help but become solemn.
On this continent, blood beasts have always been synonymous with ferocity and terror. Even if he is already a high-level blood warrior, if he encounters him alone, he will definitely die or not, so he cannot help but be afraid.
"The others stand back, Gray and Edge assist me. Be careful, this is a wooden monkey, it can exert the ability to control plants."
Pulling out the cyan magic sword, Viscount Fergus quickly rushed towards the wooden monkey while speaking.
"yes."
Gray and Edge both responded and followed closely.
Uh-huh!
Viscount Fergus had already approached the wooden monkey and pierced the wooden monkey's throat with his sword as fast as the wind.
Wow!
The wooden monkey dodged nimbly, but managed to avoid it.
Then the shiny black claws stretched out and grabbed at Viscount Fergus.
Whoosh!
Viscount Fergus flashed quickly, dodged away, and then attacked the wooden monkey from another direction.
The wooden monkey moved extremely nimbly, and with a short stature, he evaded again.
At this moment, Edge was approaching, holding a knife in his hand, and attacked the wooden monkey from the left.
The wooden monkey dodged away, then chased in the direction of Edge, and clawed hard at Edge. If he was caught, it would definitely be disembowelled.
At this moment, a flash of cyan sword light swept out from beside Eqi and swept towards the charging wooden monkey.
puff!
The wooden monkey saw that the situation was not good, and although he was already avoiding it, a bloody mouth still appeared on the side of his abdomen.
Cherry-red blood spilled, dyeing the green hair of the wooden monkey red, and dripping on the dry leaves.
But this was not the end. Gray appeared behind the wooden monkey and also swept out his sword, hitting the wooden monkey's back, leaving a bloody mouth on the wooden monkey's back.
Zhizhi!
The wooden monkey, who was injured continuously, became extremely irritable, let out a sharp whistle, turned around and rushed towards Gray behind him.
Gray was not afraid at all, and thrust out his sword, directly piercing the wooden monkey's throat, and the wooden monkey was forced to avoid it.
At this time, behind the wooden monkey, Viscount Fergus and Edge arrived and attacked the wooden monkey in two directions.
puff!
Facing attacks from two directions, one of which came from a fierce-blooded warrior, the wooden monkey was unable to dodge and was immediately injured again.
Zhizhi!
The wooden monkey, which was injured continuously, made a sharp whistle.
Then the surrounding plants and trees all changed, turning into whips one after another, overwhelming the three Grays.
"Back off!"
Viscount Fergus shouted a reminder while retreating sharply.
Knowing that the wooden monkey could control plants, Gray and Edge were already on guard. When Viscount Fergus reminded them, they were already retreating quickly.
After all, Gray had the strength of a vicious warrior and was also good at speed, so he had already dodged it easily.
On the other hand, although Edge was already on guard, he was only a high-level blood warrior after all. He was unable to dodge and was about to be hit by several whips.
Tsk, Tsk, Tsk!
Fortunately, Viscount Fergus and Gray arrived in time, guarding Edge on the left and right, and cut off all the "whips".
"Escape!"
When the various plants that were attacking like whips stopped, the wooden monkey had disappeared.
Apparently this guy must have judged that he was no match for Gray and the other three, so he escaped while activating his plant ability.
If Gray and Viscount Fergus left Edge alone, it was possible to stop him, but Edge would be in trouble.
Facing the blood beast's ability, even if he doesn't die, he will definitely be seriously injured.
Besides, they are not here to hunt the blood beast this time. For this reason, they need to minimize fighting and preserve the power of blood. Since the blood beast wants to escape, there is no need to stop it. It is better to say that it is what they expected.
Soon after, the procession moved on.
Those present were either not weak in strength or had undergone rigorous training. They quickly adjusted their mentality and continued on the road.
After walking for an hour, they were almost close to the imperial ruins. Except for the wooden monkey before, they never encountered any blood beast attacks along the way.
"Great, almost there!"
Bernal had been to the ruins before, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, but at this moment.
Ouch—
A loud roar sounded in the mangroves, and then, a bloody beast covered in golden-red hair suddenly jumped out of the forest.
Not counting the tail, the body length has reached 2.5 meters. The head is large and round, covered with long golden-red mane, extending to the shoulders and chest.
This is an animal that is very similar to the lion in the previous life, but it is taller and the hair on its body is different from the previous life.
"Fire Lion!"
This distinctive feature immediately allowed Gray to identify the type of this blood beast.
Pyromancers are male lions who control flames. They can control flames to fight for themselves. They are natural flame manipulators.
"Do it!"
Viscount Fergus shouted low and strode towards the flaming lion. Gray and Edge also rushed out of the team and quickly rushed towards the flaming lion.
Ouch—
Seeing the human beings actively approaching him, the Flame Lion seemed to be provoked. He kicked off his two hind legs and rushed towards Viscount Fergus quickly.
When he was about to get close to Viscount Fergus, he suddenly turned around, slightly away from Viscount Fergus, and from the other side, opened his bloody mouth and bit Viscount Fergus.
Whoosh!
However, it missed the target. Viscount Fergus suddenly moved sideways and dodged. At this time, Gray and Edge had already arrived from the other direction.
The long sword and long knife attacked the blazing lion respectively.
The Blazing Lion took a few steps back to avoid the incoming swords and knives, but at this time, Viscount Fergus appeared behind him.
puff!
Green light flashed, and a deep bloody mouth suddenly appeared on the back of the Blazing Lion.
Viscount Fergus's magic sword has sharp properties, causing the wound to be extremely deep.
Ouch—
The pained Flame Lion roared, turned its head angrily towards Viscount Fergus, kicked off the ground, jumped into the air, and slapped its front paws towards Viscount Fergus.
clang!
The sharp claws collided with Viscount Fergus's sword, making a metallic knocking sound.
Then, after a pause, the Blazing Lion landed firmly on the ground, while Viscount Fergus retreated continuously. His strength was weaker than that of the Blazing Lion.
The flaming lion refused to give up and prepared to continue to pounce on Viscount Fergus, but at this moment, a sword flashed and it was Gray who took action.
puff!
A wound appeared again on the back of the Blazing Lion.
The bright red blood spilled, causing the originally golden red hair of the Blazing Lion to turn bright red.
Viscount Fergus had intentionally collided with the Flame Lion just now, in order to create a gap for Gray to attack.
Ouch—
Feeling the pain, the Flame Lion turned back angrily and bit Gray, but Gray had already retreated.
puff!
Not only that, behind the Flame Lion, Viscount Fergus approached again, leaving wounds on the Flame Lion again.
Looking at the Flame Lion being completely fooled by Viscount Fergus and Gray, Edge was full of doubts as he looked for an opportunity to attack.
He always felt that as a high-level blood warrior, Gray's strength was a bit too strong. This feeling had already occurred when he faced the wooden monkey before.
However, he also knows that different blood methods have their own strengths and weaknesses and their own biases.
For example, his blood method is biased toward assassination, and other aspects are mediocre. Just because the opponent is stronger than himself does not mean that the opponent's level is higher than his.
Moreover, for a seventeen-year-old ferocious warrior, this was too unbelievable, so as soon as the idea came up, he had already stopped it.
Whoosh!
Putting all the thoughts behind him, he found the right opportunity, suddenly approached the flaming lion, and slashed the flaming lion's back with a knife, leaving a shallow wound.
Then he quickly retreated, dodging the front palm of the Blazing Lion.
Ouch—
The continuously injured Flame Lion let out an angry roar, and then, his limbs were actually burning with golden-red flames.
The dead leaves and weeds on the ground quickly burned, emitting thick black smoke. Not only that, even the ground showed signs of being charred and melted.
"What a high temperature!"
Seeing this scene, Gray was shocked. It was not impossible to melt gold and forge iron at such a temperature.
Viscount Fergus's magic sword may be better, but if his and Edge's weapons collide, they will probably be burned.
"Be careful, don't let the weapon be touched by its claws, it will melt."
Viscount Fergus also reminded him aloud, confirming Gray's judgment.
Edge's expression became extremely solemn, and the expressions of Gray and Viscount Fergus became serious. The blood beast's ability is no joke. Once used, the danger level of this blood beast will immediately increase by one level.
Ouch—
At this moment, the loud roar sounded again.
Hearing this roar, everyone couldn't help but change their expressions, even Viscount Fergus and Gray couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.
Because this roar did not come from the flaming lion that was besieged by them at this time, but came from other directions.
"There is actually another one..."
"how come?"
…
Bernal and others, who were watching the battle nervously, turned their heads to look in the direction where the roar came from, and their faces turned pale.
At that place, a flaming lion, also covered in golden hair, appeared and ran towards this side quickly.
The second flaming lion appears! ! !
"Don't blood beasts generally live in groups?"
Bernal's face was pale, without any color.
A flaming lion is already so difficult to deal with, and now one appears again. This is simply a disaster.
Although these people are not weak in strength, the lowest one is close to the strength of a low-level blood warrior, and he and the other two vice-captains are even more powerful in the middle-level blood warriors. However, facing a ferocious blood beast is too difficult. a little.
"One male and one female!"
Gray said with narrowed eyes.
Except for a few kinds of blood beasts, most blood beasts rarely go into groups because they are huge and have an amazing food intake. If they gather together, they may not have enough food.
There was one exception, however, and that was when preparing for mating. Apparently this was the situation they were encountering now.
