"This snake is poisonous!"
The soldier named Farr glanced at the triangular head of the long red snake and said in surprise.
"Thanks."
When she heard the words called Ver Soldier and looked at Gray standing in front of her, Caroline's face was full of joy and gratitude.
The long red snake that suddenly sprang out really startled her, so much so that she actually forgot to avoid it immediately.
Although she had fought against the castle soldiers several times and had some combat experience, she was prepared after all. Faced with such an unexpected situation, her reaction was slightly slower.
Fortunately, Gray killed the long red snake. Otherwise, if he was bitten by a venomous snake, even if he didn't die, he would probably not be easy.
"Need not."
Gray shook his head. Even if he was an ordinary person, he would not hesitate to save her at this time, not to mention that the other party was the sister of this body.
Not far away, Viscount Fergus raised his eyebrows, with a trace of doubt on his face, but then he shook his head.
He was naturally aware of the red snake escaping just now, and was about to save Caroline, but at this moment, he found that Gray had already drawn his sword and rushed out.
During the whole process, Gray gave him the feeling that his reaction speed was actually faster than when he fought the soldiers yesterday. Even compared with the average blood warrior, it should be almost the same.
But after thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely. After all, Gray had not even been a low-level blood warrior for half a year. It must have been his own illusion just now.
He looked at Caroline and said.
"Caroline, be careful, and everyone, be careful not only on the ground, but also in the trees!"
"yes."
Gray, the others, and the five soldiers responded.
The team continued to set off. This time, everyone's attention was no longer limited to the ground, but also to the trees above.
Suddenly, Farr, who was walking at the front of the team, waved his hand to stop moving forward, then took a few steps back, came to Viscount Fergus, and whispered.
"Lord Viscount, there is a leopard in front of you!"
"Leopard?"
Gray and the others walked forward slowly, and through the gaps in the branches and leaves in the forest, they saw a large beast lying on a bare tree growing in a Y shape dozens of meters ahead, resting at the intersection of the tree.
This is a beast with yellow hair and black spots all over its body.
In terms of body length, it should be about two meters. It does not look strong, but it looks extremely slender.
It is very similar to the leopard that Gray saw in the movie "Animal World" in his previous life, but there are some differences. The biggest difference is that it does not have a single black spot on its head, while the leopard in his previous life did.
"Lord Viscount, should we take a detour or kill it?"
Farr asked softly.
Viscount Fergus's eyes moved slightly, and he already had a plan. He looked at Gray and said.
"Gray, go kill this leopard!"
"yes."
Gray did not hesitate, and gently pulled the long sword out of its sheath from the left side of his waist, and then tiptoed, slowly approaching the leopard resting on the tree.
Thirty meters, twenty meters...
Ouch—
Just when Gray was only ten meters away from the leopard, the leopard resting on the tree suddenly twisted its body and looked at Gray with vigilance and ferocity. It was clear that Gray had been spotted.
Although Gray had tried his best not to make a sound, it was too difficult not to make a sound due to the fallen leaves under his feet, and the hearing of a beast like a leopard is also extremely developed.
Snapped!
Upon discovering Gray, the leopard did not run away. Instead, it jumped down and landed lightly on the ground. Then it lunged forward and flew several meters towards Gray.
As a predator, when it sees humans, its first thought is not to escape, but to kill humans!
Ouch—
It runs extremely fast. Like the leopards in the previous life, the leopards in this world also have extremely terrifying speeds.
With this terrifying attack speed, even a strong adult man might not be able to dodge, and he was approaching Gray almost instantly.
Two rows of sharp teeth were exposed, and he bit into Sean with a bloody mouth. At the same time, there was a strong fishy smell.
This leopard must have just finished eating!
Uh-huh!
Gray ducked sideways and avoided the leopard's frontal attack.
Gray is not an adult strong man, but his speed and reaction are more terrifying than those of an adult strong man, because he is a blood warrior, the most powerful group among humans.
After turning sideways to avoid the leopard's frontal attack, Gray did not stop there. The sword in his right hand was drawn out at an angle and appeared just in front of the leopard's attack route.
puff!
It was as if the leopard had hit the sword's edge, its throat was cut, and its blood turned into blood mist and sprayed out.
With the inertia, he rushed forward for several meters, then fell to the ground with a plop, twitching abnormally, and his body slowly became stiff.
But Gray quickly dodged away, avoiding the splattered blood and preventing it from splattering on his suit.
Seeing Gray killing the leopard, Viscount Fergus and others came over.
"You actually killed this leopard with just one sword. Master Gray is so awesome!"
"Even this leopard was killed so easily with one sword. I'm afraid we can't stop Master Gray from doing this!"
The five elite soldiers all looked at each other.
They are all elite soldiers of the Fergus family. They are in the prime age of thirty or forty years old, and their strength and skills are at the peak of their lives.
But Gray is just a 16-year-old boy who has not yet held his 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, but they feel that they can't make a move in the hands of the other party. This is really a bit embarrassing.
Viscount Fergus and others were not surprised. With Gray's current strength, the elite soldiers could no longer block a move. Yesterday, none of the seven elite soldiers could survive two moves under Gray.
These soldiers have never fought against Gray, so they don't know. As for those who have fought against Gray, they lost seven to one. How could they tell such a thing
"What to do with this leopard?"
Gray asked slightly excitedly.
The leopard weighed at least more than a hundred kilograms. It was the first time he killed such a big guy. Gray wanted to take it back to the castle and let the castle chef make it into a delicacy and feast on it.
"Master Gray, you just need to hang it on a tree with a rope so that it won't be destroyed by other beasts. When we come back, we can take it back with us."
"Then hang it up!"
Gray quickly said that after his appetite increased greatly, he was really concerned about eating.
The leopard's body was hung on a tree with a rope, and everyone started searching at the edge of the forest again.
Searching along the periphery of the forest, Gray and the others once again encountered several large beasts, including a python with a length of more than ten meters with yellow patterns on its body, a wild boar with black hair and two curved horns on its mouth, and a gray wild boar. Mao may be a lone wolf who was kicked out of the pack...
Gray, Bernal, Ellis, and Caroline took action to kill them one after another.
In the end, the four of them actually killed more than a dozen of these large beasts.
"Lord Viscount, that's not right. There are too many large beasts at the edge of the forest!"
Fall, who had hunter experience, frowned and reported to Viscount Fergus.
"It's really too much!"
Viscount Fergus also frowned slightly.
There are too many large beasts at the edge of the forest, and they are very densely distributed. This is very abnormal, because with this density of distribution, these large beasts simply cannot get enough food.
No wonder they would attack Giethoorn to hunt humans. It turned out that the food in the forest was not enough to consume so many large beasts.
"I'm afraid the problem lies in the forest. Go deeper into the forest!"
Viscount Fergus ordered.
Before, they only searched at the outermost edge of the forest and did not go too deep into the forest.
"yes."
Everyone nodded and headed deeper into the forest. This time, without the need for Viscount Fergus to remind them, everyone was already very energetic.
The deeper you go into a forest, especially one that covers an extremely wide area, the more large hunting beasts there are, and the danger is naturally higher.
Bang bang bang!
In autumn, the red-leaf forest is full of different varieties of red-leaf trees. Occasionally, you can see some non-red-leaf trees, but most of them have yellow and fallen leaves.
Gray stepped on the dead leaves and walked slowly in the silent forest, the insight of his eyes and ears being heightened to the highest level.
But to his surprise, after going several miles deep, they did not encounter any large beasts, but encountered some small beasts.
Such as hares, pheasants, or unknown beasts that resemble mice but are larger than mice. In short, there are no large beasts, but there are many small beasts.
This is very abnormal. You must know that there are so many large beasts on the periphery of the forest. This place is slightly deeper into the forest, and the food can be said to be very abundant. It is impossible that there is not a single large beast.
"Lord Viscount, there may be a very powerful big guy near here!"
There was a slight cold sweat on Fall's forehead, and he reported to Viscount Fergus in a low voice.
"Be careful and keep searching!"
Viscount Fergus nodded to express his understanding and motioned for everyone to continue searching, but it was obvious that the look in his eyes was getting sharper.
Everyone continued to go deeper into the forest, but after they continued to go deeper into the forest, they continued to go several hundred meters deeper.
Ouch—
A terrifying roar reached their ears from a distance.
It was like a beating bell or a drum, but also like a struck metal, sharp and harsh, and the eardrum vibrated for a while.
There was a deep sense of majesty in the voice, as if a "lord" was declaring his sovereignty.
