"this… ?"
Seeing this sudden scene, Gray had already given up. He hesitated slightly, turned around and slowly leaned over.
He was on guard, ready to escape immediately if he found any sign of these blood beasts coming back to life.
However, until they came closer, these blood beasts still showed no sign of getting up to attack.
He even kicked them with his feet, but there was still no response. These blood beasts that were originally corpses seemed to have completely turned into corpses this time.
Having already made some guesses in his mind, he stepped over these blood beasts and came to the clearing in the forest. He saw that in the clearing, the ape-shaped blood beast had turned into an ice sculpture and was too dead to die.
"The wind blade at first probably failed to kill it, so it was able to send an attack signal to the blood beast controlled by it. The reason why it died in the end was probably because the ice spread all over its body."
Looking at the body of the ape-shaped blood beast, Gray guessed in his mind.
After breaking the ice, Gray filled the empty water bottle with a pot of ape-shaped blood beast's blood.
"Not carrying a rune bag."
Looking at the blood flowing out of the ape-shaped blood beast's body, Gray could only helplessly shake his head.
His goal this time was the ruins, and he had not thought about hunting the blood beast. His original plan was to avoid the blood beast as much as possible after encountering it, so he brought only things related to survival in the wild and did not bring a rune bag.
Putting away the kettle filled with the blood of the ape-shaped blood beasts, Gray couldn't help but look at the seven blood beasts lying on the ground not far away, and his heart was filled with regret.
"It's a pity that it's been less than two months since I last took the blood of a blood beast. Otherwise, if I take the blood of this ape-type blood beast now and gain the ability of the ape-type blood beast to control corpses, I can immediately obtain a blood beast." An army of beasts.”
According to his observations during the day, including the wind wolf he killed, there should be a total of nine blood beast corpses controlled by the ape-type blood beast.
In addition to the seven bodies in front of me, there is also a yellow-haired blood beast, which should be lurking by the stream now, hunting for the ape-shaped blood beast.
In other words, if he now has the ability to control corpses, and the corpses of ape-shaped blood beasts, he can immediately possess nine blood beasts. You can imagine how much stronger his combat power will be after possessing these nine blood beasts.
"No, maybe it's not impossible."
Gray suddenly thought of something. According to his estimation, there might be two reasons why he could not continuously swallow the blood of the blood beast.
On the one hand, it is the time interval between two swallows, and on the other hand, it is the body's tolerance, and he feels that the most likely influencing factor should be the body's tolerance.
Indeed, it had been less than two months since he last transformed by swallowing the blood of the Storm Wolf.
However, his strength has improved from a high-level blood warrior to a fierce blood warrior, and his physical fitness has improved far beyond that of a low-level blood warrior to a mid-level blood warrior, and from a mid-level blood warrior to a high-level blood warrior.
Nearly two months have passed since such a substantial physical improvement. He feels that swallowing the blood of the ape-shaped blood beast now will not have much impact on the body. At most, the body will become extremely tired.
"Gulu—"
Wanting to understand this, Gray swallowed hard at the wound of the ape-shaped blood beast that was leaving blood.
He did not look for another safe location. If the safest location at the moment was, it had to be here.
As a blood beast that controls nine blood beasts, it is certain that the territory of the ape-type blood beast is extremely wide. At this time, the ape-type blood beast has just died, and other blood beasts will not come here at all in a short time, so here It's the safest place.
Hooray!
As soon as the ape-shaped blood beast's blood was swallowed, scalding heat emerged from Gray's stomach and spread throughout his body.
It was as if Gray was being roasted on a fire. Sweat kept sliding down, and in just a short moment, his whole body was wet.
His mind was dizzy and his whole body was crimson. He was like a seriously ill patient with a high fever. He had lost his sense of time and his surroundings.
If a blood beast attacks at this time, he may not even have the strength to backhand.
Fortunately, such a thing did not happen. As he expected, the ape-shaped blood beast's lair was the safest place at this time.
He didn't know how long it took before his mind finally came to his senses, but what followed was extreme fatigue, not only physically, but also mentally.
He was as tired as if he hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights, so he fell into a deep sleep. The moment he fell asleep, he came to the conclusion.
"It's just like the last time I took Hanhu's blood, it's a bit forced!"
From the high-level blood warrior to the ferocious blood warrior, his physical strength has indeed increased significantly. However, although this range can support him to take the blood of the blood beast twice in a short period of time, it is a bit reluctant.
In the morning, the sun shone on Gray's face. My eyelids moved heavily and finally opened.
His body still felt very tired, so he sat up with difficulty.
"Gu—"
A strange sound sounded, which was a serious protest from the stomach.
Yesterday, in order to hunt the ape-shaped blood beast, I had been hiding in the shadows. Naturally, I didn't eat during the process.
In addition, during the transformation process of swallowing the ape-shaped blood beast, the body will definitely consume a lot of nutrients, and it is normal for the stomach to protest.
After taking out the dry food, Gray drank the water and wolfed it down. After the dry food inventory was reduced a lot, he stopped.
Fortunately, he was strong and carried a lot of dry food. Otherwise, with his appetite, he would have to hunt and eat in the end.
Then he stood up and looked at the body of the ape-shaped blood beast next to him. In order to obtain the ape-shaped blood beast's ability to control corpses, he had suffered a lot. Now it was time to test the harvest.
Staring at the body of the ape-shaped blood beast, he imagined controlling the body of the ape-shaped blood beast, and then, a strange scene appeared.
The palm of his left hand was slightly itchy. He looked sideways and saw a crack that almost ran across the palm of his left hand. However, unexpectedly, no blood flowed out of it.
The crack slowly opened, like a mouth that was slowly opening. At the same time, a black fleshy ball-like thing covered with tentacles could be vaguely seen in the crack.
Finally, the crack opened to its maximum, and the spherical object fell from Gray's palm and fell to the ground.
After landing, the numerous tentacles on the fleshy ball-shaped thing squirmed like earthworms, dragging the fleshy ball up the body of the ape-shaped blood beast, and crawled in from the open mouth of the ape-shaped blood beast.
Then, the body of the originally dead ape-shaped blood beast began to change.
It was like a nervous reaction, trembling slightly from time to time.
Bang!
More than ten minutes later, the slight trembling that appeared on the body of the ape-shaped blood beast from time to time disappeared. Then, the ape-shaped blood beast opened its eyes numbly, turned over and got up.
The wound on its chest was still ferocious, but it had no effect on it at all.
At this moment, Gray felt that he had established a certain connection with the ape-type blood beast. He only needed to issue an order to the ape-type blood beast in his heart, and the ape-type blood beast would act according to his orders.
"Take five steps forward."
He issued such an order in his heart.
Then he saw the ape-shaped blood beast walking forward, no more, no less, exactly five steps.
"Squat down."
"Creep forward."
…
It was like playing a remote-controlled toy version of his previous life. After controlling the ape-type blood beast, Gray had a general understanding of the corpse-controlling ability obtained from the ape-type blood beast and the blood beast controlled by the corpse-controlled ability.
"The controlled blood beast has no independent consciousness, but it has some simple execution capabilities."
Gray discovered that the controlled blood beast had the ability to execute his commands which were not too complicated.
For example, if Gray orders the ape-type blood beast to go to the stream and move the yellow-haired blood beast over, the ape-type blood beast will go find the yellow-haired blood beast and move it over. During the whole process, Gray does not need to do anything else. Give other orders.
"And the black flesh balls can secrete a substance that prevents the corpse from decaying, so that the corpse does not lose its fighting power due to decay."
"The only pity is that the controlled blood beast will lose other abilities except physical abilities, but this is normal, after all, the blood beast is dead."
Blood beast abilities such as wind blades and flames require the support of blood power even if they are used by blood beasts.
And because the blood beast is dead, the body can no longer produce the power of blood. Therefore, the controlled blood beast will lose the ability to use wind blades, flames, etc., and will only retain its physical abilities.
"But even so, it is already an extremely powerful ability. Controlling so many blood beasts, even with just physical ability, is enough to sweep away most of the blood beasts. If there are enough blood beasts, it is not impossible to fight across levels."
Not regretting that the controlled blood beasts could not use their abilities, Gray came to the bodies of the seven blood beasts and used the same method to control them. Then he came to the stream and found The yellow-haired blood beast also controlled it.
In the stream, after taking a bath and changing his clothes, Gray started to look for the ruins with a total of nine blood beasts.
The morning after a day.
"It should be there in half a day."
Looking at the map in his hand, Gray judged.
Putting away the map, Gray walked forward. After walking for more than an hour, Gray suddenly stopped and looked down at what was under his feet.
It was a dark mass of burned ashes, with some unburnt firewood beside it.
"Someone is camping here? And it must be in the past few days..."
Judging from the age of the ashes, this pile of ashes should have been left in the past few days.
If it takes too long, it will inevitably be covered with soil due to wind, rain and other reasons.
But the pile of ashes still maintained the same appearance as when it was burning. This was not the case, so Gray judged that the pile of ashes should have been left in the past few days.
"Who exactly left it behind?"
Suddenly, Gray's expression changed and he thought of a possibility.
"This place is not far from the ruins. Are you going to the ruins?"
Now he is at least an hour or two away from the ruins. With such a close distance, it is entirely possible that the other party is heading towards the ruins.
Moreover, even if you are not going for the ruins, you are so close to the ruins, and it is not impossible to bump into the ruins accidentally.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up. He must not let others get to the ruins first. Otherwise, the more than half a month of getting Oka from Sidney would be basically wasted.
More than an hour later, Gray was extremely close to the ruins.
hold head high-
Suddenly, an angry blood beast roared, with extreme anger in the voice, as if it was being provoked.
And the direction of this sound is clearly the direction of the ruins.
He couldn't help but rush in this direction.
