Beside the creek.
A sika deer looked around cautiously, then took a few steps to look around, slowly approached the stream, lowered its head and licked the water.
rustle!
At this moment, a black tiger-shaped blood beast suddenly jumped out and appeared next to the sika deer in one leap.
Because of its huge weight, for a moment, the ground beside the stream seemed to tremble slightly.
A huge creature suddenly appeared next to him. The sika deer was frightened and wanted to run away, but the black tiger-shaped blood beast stretched out its front paws, like a hammer, and slapped it down.
Click!
The head of the sika deer was shot and bent abnormally. The deer's body rolled several times and fell next to the stream. The giant black tiger lowered its head, picked it up, and headed in one direction.
Not long after it left, a figure appeared from the shadow of a tree and followed it quickly. This person was Gray.
He guessed that the black giant tiger was hunting for the blood beast that could control the blood beast's corpse. Therefore, as long as he followed the black giant tiger, he should be able to find the blood beast that could control the blood beast's corpse.
We followed this giant black tiger through the dense woods for about ten minutes.
Suddenly, Gray dodged and hid under the shadow of a tree. The moment he hid in the shadow of the tree, a yellow-haired blood beast suddenly appeared.
This blood beast has slender and strong limbs, sharp teeth protruding from its lips, and a sharp horn on its head. Just from its appearance, you can feel that this blood beast is not easy to mess with.
It walked towards the tree where Gray was hiding, getting closer and closer to Gray.
Gray put his hand on the hilt of the sword and watched the blood beast nervously. If the blood beast made any strange move, he would immediately take action and attack the blood beast first.
Finally, the blood beast was as close as possible to Gray, less than three meters away. Gray held his breath for fear that his breathing would be heard by the blood beast.
Fortunately, the blood beast did not notice him and walked past the tree where he was hiding, turning its back to him.
He considered whether to make a sneak attack. From this angle, he was sure to hit the opponent's vital point before they could react. However, in the end, he held back and could not alert the enemy.
It wasn't until the yellow-haired blood beast was no longer visible that Gray walked out of the shadow of the tree.
I wanted to look for the black giant tiger, but found that the black giant tiger was nowhere to be found.
However, he didn't take it seriously and continued to lurk in the direction where he last saw the giant black tiger. According to his estimation, the location of the blood beast should be very close.
Because the yellow-haired blood beast that passed by just now is also a blood beast that cannot be detected with infrared sensing. In other words, this is also a blood beast corpse.
Since he could encounter the bodies of other manipulated blood beasts, he thought that the lair of the blood beasts was not far away.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, he found his target.
In a forest glade covered with weeds, eight blood beasts were lying lazily, enjoying the not too hot autumn sunshine.
Among them, there is a tiger-shaped blood beast with black hair all over its body.
There is a slender and strong blood beast with purple spots all over its body.
There is a blood beast that is covered in earthy yellow scales and looks like a huge rock from a distance.
…
Gray's eyes immediately looked at a blood beast surrounded by other blood beasts.
This is an ape-shaped blood beast, just over two meters tall. Compared with the iron-armed ape that Gray once hunted, it is obviously smaller in size.
In addition, the hair on the body is not black, but white without any pigment, just like the corpse hair that grows from a moldy corpse, it is pale.
The reason why Gray noticed it immediately was because the blood beast was eating at this time, and what it ate was the sika deer that the black tiger-shaped blood beast just carried away.
"It's alive!"
Although the appearance looked more like a corpse than other blood beasts, when Gray's infrared sense detected the opponent, he unexpectedly discovered that the opponent could be detected by infrared sense. Obviously, this was a living blood beast.
"The blood beast with the ability to control corpses should be this blood beast."
Gray has already explored the other seven blood beasts, but they are just blood beast corpses. It is obvious that the blood beast with the ability to control the blood beast corpses should be this ape-shaped blood beast covered with white hair.
"There are actually seven blood beasts protecting us. Do you want to take action?"
Looking at this ape-shaped blood beast, Gray frowned.
There is no doubt that the ability to control the body of a blood beast is powerful. If he can obtain it, his strength will definitely increase greatly.
But in contrast, the risk is also extremely high. It is not that difficult to assassinate a blood beast under the protection of seven blood beasts.
If he misses, if other blood beasts are still able to move after killing him, then he is in danger.
"Try it once, and if it doesn't work, run away immediately."
Finally, Gray decided to give it a try.
He has shadow ability. If it is at night, even if there are many blood beasts protecting him, it is entirely possible to lurk in front of this blood beast.
Moreover, even if he failed, he would still be very confident in escaping. After all, the night was his home ground with the ability of shadow.
The entire forest was pitch black. As long as it hid somewhere, other blood beasts would not be able to find it.
Unless there is a blood beast among these blood beasts that can see through shadows, but there should be no such blood beasts, otherwise, he would not be able to lurk here safely.
After a few hours, night fell.
Little bits of moonlight shone down, blocked by dense branches and unable to penetrate into the forest.
The forest was dark, as if it was completely blocked by a huge black cloth.
"Just this once, retreat immediately after failure!"
Under the shadow of a tree, Gray's figure stood up quietly, thinking to himself.
He looked towards the clearing in the forest, where the white-haired ape-shaped blood beast was sleeping in the clearing in the forest.
Around it, the seven blood beasts were located around it, faintly protecting it.
Without making a sound, Gray slowly moved closer, getting closer and closer to the ape-shaped blood beast.
50 meters.
40 meters.
30 meters.
20 meters.
Snap!
At this moment, suddenly, a blood beast stood up and sniffed vigorously, as if it had discovered something, but it seemed not sure.
"We can't get any closer."
Gray knew that it was the smell on his body that attracted the blood beast's attention.
Although the shadow ability can hide his figure and make him blend with the shadows, it cannot conceal his scent.
"It seems we can only take action here!"
Taking a deep breath, Gray began to secretly mobilize the power of blood in his body.
The next moment, the blood beast's ability Ice Wind Blade was used by him.
In the calm and windless forest, the wind suddenly roared, and then a slightly crystal-clear blue wind blade appeared, quickly slashing towards the sleeping giant ape-shaped beast.
Uh-huh!
The distance of twenty meters was too short. When the ape-shaped blood beast noticed the movement, it just raised its head and the wind blade was already approaching.
puff!
The wind blade easily split open the ape-shaped blood beast's chest and embedded itself deeply into the ape-shaped blood beast's body, leaving a huge wound.
At the same time, a cold force suddenly spread around the wound, and the ape-shaped blood beast's body was freezing rapidly.
Ouch—
The injured ape-shaped blood beast roared and gave the order to attack. Although Gray could not be seen, all the blood beasts jumped up and rushed towards the direction of the wind blade.
"No, I didn't kill him."
Without any hesitation, Gray turned around and left, using Wind Wolf's speed to its limit.
Now that you have taken action but failed to kill the opponent, you can only give up. Although the ability to control the body of the blood beast is good, it is not worth risking your life for it.
Snap!
However, just after he ran a few dozen meters, he suddenly heard a series of sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground behind him.
He turned around in confusion, only to find that the blood beasts that were chasing him had all fallen down as if they were drunk.
