After staying in the city for one night, the three of them hurriedly left the city early the next morning.
Facing the unknown and facing an uncontestable existence, people will always have the idea of staying far away. Even the three Grays, who are not weak in strength, are no exception.
Rather, it is precisely because the three Grays are not weak that they want to avoid them.
Unlike ordinary people, they have become accustomed to controlling their own lives and deciding the lives of others.
Their lives are controlled by others, and they can't stand anything.
Fortunately, they never met each other again along the way.
I think it's because they have nothing of value anymore and the other party has looked down on them.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief and spent the night in cities and small towns along the way. Two days later, the three of them were approaching the night forest.
quack-
The carriage was traveling on the winding mud road, and suddenly, a sharp neighing sound reached the ears of the three of them.
The sound was sonorous and powerful, with a strong metallic texture and extremely harsh.
Hearing this strange sound, the expressions of the three Grays couldn't help but move.
Theresa stopped the carriage and looked towards the direction of the sound. Gray and Sophia also opened the curtains of the carriage and looked over.
Then I saw a village in the distance, filled with black smoke. There were billowing black smoke rising from many places in the village.
And hundreds of meters above the village, a large bird with a wingspan of four meters and a body covered with blue feathers was hovering rapidly in the sky.
It swooped down from time to time, and when it climbed up again, there was already a panicked and struggling villager above the claws.
"Ah, no-"
The villagers struggled in panic, but the big bird's sharp claws dug deeply into his flesh, making it impossible for him to break free. On the contrary, the more he struggled, the more painful he became.
The big bird quickly climbed in height, and soon reached a height of several hundred meters. Then, suddenly, it released its sharp claws holding on to the villagers in the sky.
"ah-"
boom!
The villagers fell from the sky and screamed in terror, but the screams of terror stopped abruptly as a clear muffled sound was heard.
You don't need to think about it to know what will happen to the villagers who are thrown away.
Not to mention ordinary villagers, even Gray and others, if they were hit from such a high height, there would be no other possibility besides becoming meat.
"It's a blood beast!"
Seeing this scene, Gray and the other three couldn't help but their expressions moved slightly.
There is no doubt that being able to have such a size and being able to easily grab a human into the sky, there is no other possibility except a flying blood beast.
Although blood beasts have strong territorial divisions and generally live deep in the forest, it does not mean that blood beasts will not leave the forest.
Occasionally, due to failed struggles or hunting, blood beasts would leave the forest and attack surrounding villages. This should be the case now.
Every year because of this situation, no less than 100,000 people are killed in the Ziyue Kingdom alone.
And now this situation is encountered by Gray and the others.
"walk over!"
Without much hesitation, the three Grays dropped the carriage and ran in that direction.
If left unchecked, everyone in this village would probably be killed.
If a mercenary entering the forest is attacked by a blood beast, they will naturally ignore it. After all, since the other party has chosen to become a mercenary and entered a forest full of dangers, they should be prepared to face life and death crises.
People always have to pay the price for their choices.
But these villagers are different. They have not invaded the blood beast's territory. The blood beast is an unreasonable disaster for them.
"Ah, run away quickly..."
"Hide quickly, hide in the house!"
…
As they approached the village, panicked voices reached the ears of the three of them.
Faced with this almost unstoppable crisis, some of the villagers fled in panic, while others were so frightened that they collapsed on the spot, leaving a puddle on the ground.
Uh-huh!
The flying blood beast swooped down again, and when it was close to the ground, suddenly, a blue lightning suddenly shot out from its mouth.
Crackling!
A wooden house was hit, and a raging fire suddenly broke out in the wooden house.
Black smoke filled the air, causing the villagers who took shelter in the wooden houses to cough violently and escape in panic.
At this time, the flying blood beast suddenly swooped towards one of the seven or eight-year-old children.
puff!
The sharp claws directly scratched the child's tender skin, pierced into the child's back, and suddenly rose up amidst the child's screams.
boom!
There was another muffled sound, and suddenly there was another ball of meat in the village.
At this time, the Gray trio had just approached the village and had no time to stop them.
"It's Thunderhawk!"
Hearing the child's scream, Gray frowned slightly.
Through the blood beast's ability and appearance, he determined that the blood beast was the vicious blood beast Thunder Eagle.
"Don't rush to take action, otherwise if it escapes, this village will be completely destroyed!"
Hearing the child's screams, Sophia's face turned slightly pale, but she still reminded her.
"Know."
Gray and Theresa both nodded in understanding.
The Thunder Eagle is only a ferocious-level blood beast, and among the ferocious-level blood beasts, its combat power is not very strong, but the trouble is that it has the ability to fly.
If you can't kill it completely and let it escape, you may return to take revenge on the village later.
And it is impossible for the three of them to stay here to protect this village. It's just a matter of meeting a helper. But it is absolutely impossible for the three of them to stay here to protect these people.
"The three of us went to the open space to attract its attention. After it was attracted, we took action together."
Theresa suggested.
Gray and Sophia nodded, and the three of them quickly came to an open space in the village.
quack-
The villagers had basically hid in their houses, and the three Grays who appeared in the open space naturally attracted Thunder Eagle's attention easily.
The other party screamed excitedly, with bloodthirsty excitement in its eyes, and swooped down towards the Gray trio.
Many blood beasts have bloodthirsty impulses. They attack other animals not for prey, but just to satisfy their own bloodthirsty interests. Obviously, this Thunder Eagle is one of them.
Quickly swooping down, a sharp hiss sounded in the air, and before it even got close, a strong wind hit.
The purple claws looked like they were poured out of metal and looked extremely sharp.
100 meters.
Seventy meters.
Thirty meters.
Twenty meters.
Ten meters.
The opponent's sharp claws were clearly visible, and the target was pointed directly at Theresa, and they were close in the blink of an eye.
"drink-"
Seeing the Thunder Eagle rushing towards her, Theresa looked indifferent.
With a low drink, the battle ax in his hand was suddenly surrounded by green light.
He took a step to avoid the Thunder Eagle's sharp claws, and then slashed open the abdomen of the Thunder Eagle with an axe.
puff!
The battle ax directly disemboweled Thunder Eagle's belly, leaving a long wound and bright red blood spilling wildly.
Gawu—
The original prey suddenly resisted and was attacked and injured. The Thunder Eagle screamed in terror, quickly pressed down its wings, and climbed up quickly.
Uh-huh!
At this moment, a cyan wind blade appeared and quickly struck the Thunder Eagle that was climbing upwards.
Poof, click!
A huge wound suddenly appeared on Thunder Eagle's body again, and ice immediately spread to the vicinity.
Affected by the ice, the Thunder Eagle stopped rising, spread its wings, and rowed away.
Whoosh!
At this time, a spear surrounded by purple light was suddenly thrown out of Sophia's hand and pierced towards the Thunder Eagle in the sky.
Poof, boom!
Thunder Eagle was pierced by the spear, and then it was like a bomb suddenly exploded in Thunder Eagle's body.
Many blood holes appeared on the body, blood spattered from all parts of the body, and a large number of internal organs were broken.
Bang!
With almost no struggle, the Thunder Eagle fell from the air and hit the ground hard, dying.
Sophia walked over and pulled the spear out of Thunder Eagle's body, while Gray looked at the spear in Sophia's hand, slightly surprised.
"Explosive attributes!"
If Gray guessed correctly, the attribute of the opponent's spear should be "explosion".
Weapons with this property will produce a bomb-like effect after being pierced into the target's body, exploding inside the target's body, and are extremely destructive. After all, generally speaking, internal organs are more fragile than the outside.
"That monster... is dead?"
"Those three nobles... killed that monster?"
"So strong, those three nobles are so strong, they can actually kill such a powerful monster!"
…
The villagers hiding in the house looked fearfully outside, their faces full of shock, and some of them were even dumbfounded.
How could such a powerful monster die so easily in the hands of these three nobles
How strong will these three nobles be
"Vicious Blood Warriors, they must all be Vicious Blood Warriors, there's no mistake!"
An old man who had been a mercenary when he was young and had seen a lot of the world said excitedly.
This immediately made several young people around them look at the three Grays with admiration.
Fierce blood warriors, these three nobles are actually powerful ferocious blood warriors!
Even if the most powerful lord in their territory is rumored to be only a high-ranking blood warrior, these three nobles are powerful fierce blood warriors!
For a moment, the faces of the villagers who heard the news were filled with shock.
Without contacting the surviving villagers, Gray and the other three quickly left the village.
The thunder eagle was directly put into the rune space bag by Gray. Such a big thunder eagle could just be used as food for the next few days.
There will be another update in the evening.
