Chapter 144: Suspicion

"Blood Beast."

"It's not good, it's a blood beast ......"

……

The sudden appearance of the blood beast made everyone except Viscount Fergus and Gray change color, and even Edge's face couldn't help but become solemn.

On this continent, the blood beast has always been synonymous with ferocity and terror, even if he is already a high-ranking blood warrior, if he encounters it alone, he will definitely be dead or alive, so he can't be afraid.

"The others stand back, Gray and Edgey assist me, be careful, this is a wood monkey, able to use the ability to control plants."

Drawing out the cyan magic sword, Viscount Fergus quickly pounced towards the wooden monkey as he spoke.

"Yes."

Gray and Edge, both in response, followed suit.

Swish!

Viscount Fergus had already approached the wooden monkey, and a sword stabbed into the wooden monkey's throat as swift as the wind.

Crash!

The wooden monkey dodged nimbly, but it dodged.

Then the black, shiny claws stretched out and grabbed at Viscount Fergus.

Sou!

Viscount Fergus flickered quickly, dodged, and then struck at the wooden monkey from another direction.

The wooden monkey moves extremely flexibly, with a short body, and once again dodges.

At this moment, Edge's approach was already close, sword in hand, and attacked the wooden monkey from the left.

The wooden monkey dodged, and then chased in the direction of Edge, grabbing Edge's claws fiercely, if it was caught, it would definitely be the effect of disemboweling.

At this moment, a cyan sword light swept out from Edge's side and swept towards the wood monkey that pounced.

Burst!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the wooden monkey was already dodging, but a bloody wound still appeared on one side of the abdomen.

Cherry red blood spilled red, staining the green hair of the wood monkey and dripping onto the dry leaves.

And this is not the end, behind the wooden monkey, Gray appeared, and the same sword swept out, sweeping on the back of the wooden monkey, leaving a bloody wound on the back of the wooden monkey.

Creak!

The wood monkey, which had been injured in succession, became extremely irritable, let out a sharp whistling, and turned around and rushed straight to Gray behind him.

Gray was not afraid at all, and stabbed out with a sword, stabbing straight into the throat of the wooden monkey, and the wooden monkey was forced to dodge.

At this time, behind the wooden monkey, Viscount Fergus and Edgey arrived and attacked the wooden monkey in two directions.

Burst!

Faced with attacks from two directions, one of which was also from a fierce blood warrior, the wooden monkey was unable to dodge and was immediately injured again.

Creak!

The wooden monkey, which was injured in succession, let out a sharp whistling sound.

Then the surrounding plants and trees all changed, and they turned into whips one after another, overwhelming the three of Gray.

"Stand back!"

Viscount Fergus reminded loudly as he stepped back.

Knowing that the wood monkey could manipulate plants, Gray and Edge, who had been on guard for a long time, were already quickly retreating when Viscount Fergus reminded them.

After all, Gray has the strength of a blood warrior, and he is also good at speed, so he can dodge it with ease.

However, although Edgey has already been on guard, after all, he is only a high-ranking blood warrior, and he is a little unable to dodge, and he is about to be hit by several whips.

Snort, snort, snort!

Fortunately, Viscount Fergus and Gray arrived in time, one left and one right in front of Edge, and cut off all these "whips".

"Escaped!"

When the various plants that kept attacking like whips stopped, the wooden monkey was gone.

Obviously, this guy should have judged that he was facing the three of Gray and was not an opponent, so he escaped while he was able to send animals and plants.

If Grey and Viscount Fergus had ignored Edge, they might have stopped him, but Edge's misery.

In the face of the blood beast's blood beast ability, even if it doesn't die, it must be seriously injured.

Besides, they didn't come this time to hunt the blood beast, so they needed to minimize the battle and preserve the blood power, since the blood beast wanted to escape, there was naturally no need to stop it, but rather what they expected.

Soon after, the team moved on.

Those present were either not weak or had undergone rigorous training, and soon adjusted their mentality and continued on the road.

After an hour of walking, they were already approaching the ruins of the Empire, and apart from the previous wooden monkeys, they had never encountered a blood beast attack on the way.

"Great, it's almost there!"

Bernal had been to the ruins before, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but at this moment.

Whew—

A loud roar sounded in the mangrove forest, and then, a blood beast covered in golden red hair suddenly burst out of the forest.

Not counting the tail, it has reached 2.5 meters in length, and its head is large and round, covered with a long golden-red mane that extends to the shoulders and chest.

It is an animal that resembles a lion in a previous life, but is taller and has different hair from a previous life.

"Flame Lion!"

This striking feature immediately allowed Gray to identify the type of blood beast.

Pyromanists, lions who manipulate flames, are natural flame manipulators who can manipulate flames to fight for themselves.

"Do it!"

Viscount Fergus let out a low snort and strode towards the flaming lion, while Gray and Edgey also rushed out of the group and quickly rushed towards the flaming lion.

Whew—

Seeing the human beings who took the initiative to welcome him, the Flame Lion seemed to be provoked, and kicked its two hind legs violently, quickly rushing towards Viscount Fergus.

When he was about to get close to Viscount Fergus, he suddenly turned around, slightly staggered with Viscount Fergus, and from the other side, opened his bloody mouth and bit Viscount Fergus.

Sou!

However, it was a bite, and Viscount Fergus suddenly moved sideways and dodged, and by this time, Gray and Edgey had arrived from the other direction.

The sword and the sword each struck at the Flaming Lion.

The Flaming Lion took a few steps back, dodging the incoming sword and sword, and behind him, Viscount Fergus appeared.

Burst!

The blue light flashed, and a deep bloody mouth suddenly appeared on the back of the Flame Lion.

Viscount Fergus's magic sword has a sharp attribute that causes deep wounds.

Whew—

The painful Flame Lion roared, turned his head angrily towards Viscount Fergus, kicked the ground, jumped in the air, and slammed its front paws towards Viscount Fergus.

Clang!

The claws collided with Viscount Fergus's sword with a metallic thumping sound.

Then after the Flame Lion was stunned, he landed steadily, and Viscount Fergus retreated again and again, his strength was weaker than that of the Flame Lion.

The Flame Lion did not give up, and was about to continue to pounce on Viscount Fergus, but at this moment, a sword light flashed, and it was Gray who attacked.

Burst!

On the back of the Flaming Lion, a wound appeared again.

The red blood spilled, making the Flame Lion's originally golden hair turn red.

Just now, Viscount Fergus deliberately had a hard encounter with the Flame Lion, in order to create a gap for Gray's attack.

Whew—

Feeling the pain, the Flame Lion angrily turned around and bit Gray, but Gray had already retreated.

Burst!

Not only that, but behind the Flame Lion, Viscount Fergus approached again, once again leaving a wound on the Flame Lion.

Looking at the flaming lion who was completely played by Viscount Fergus and Gray, Edge, who was looking for an opportunity to attack, was full of doubts.

He always felt that as a high-ranking blood warrior, Gray's strength was a bit too strong, and this feeling was already there when he faced the wooden monkey before.

However, he also knew that different blood methods had their own strengths and weaknesses and their own biases.

For example, his blood method is biased towards assassination, and other aspects are mediocre, and it is not simply because the other party is stronger than himself that the other party's level is higher than his own.

Moreover, the seventeen-year-old fierce blood warrior is too incredible, so this idea has been cut off by him since he was born.

Sou!

Leaving all his thoughts behind, he found the right moment and suddenly approached the Flame Lion, slashing at the Flame Lion's back, leaving a shallow wound.

Then he quickly retreated, dodging the flaming lion's forepaw.

Whew—

The continuously injured Flame Lion let out an angry roar, and then, I saw that the top of his limbs actually burned with golden-red flames.

The dead leaves and weeds on the ground quickly burned, emitting thick black smoke, and not only that, but even the ground showed signs of scorching and melting.

"It's so hot!"

Seeing this scene, Gray was shocked, at such a temperature, it is not impossible to melt gold and wrought iron.

Viscount Fergus's magic sword may be better, but his and Edge's weapons, if they come into contact, are likely to be melted.

"Be careful, don't let the weapon get touched by its claws, it will melt."

Viscount Fergus also reminded him, confirming Gray's judgment.

Edge's face became extremely solemn, Gray and Pol's faces became serious, the ability of the blood beast, this is not a joke, once it is used, the danger level of this blood beast will immediately rise by one level.

Whew—

At this moment, a loud roar sounded again.

Hearing this roar, everyone couldn't help but change color, even Viscount Fergus and Gray, their faces couldn't help but change slightly.

Because this roar did not come from the flaming lion that was besieged by them at this time, but from other directions.

"There's still a ......"

"How so?"

……

Bernal and the others, who were nervously watching the battle, looked sideways in the direction where the roar came from, and their faces couldn't help but turn pale.

In that place, a flaming lion, also covered in golden hair, appeared, and quickly ran towards it.

A second flaming lion appears!!

"Aren't blood beasts generally rarely living in groups?"

Bernal's face was pale, without a trace of blood.

It was a disaster for a flaming lion to be so difficult to deal with, and now to have another one.

Although the strength of these people is not weak, the lowest one also has the strength close to the lower blood warrior, and he and the other two vice captains have the strength of the median blood warrior, but in the face of a fierce blood beast, the difficulty is inevitably too high.

"One male and one female!"

Gray said with a slight narrowing of his eyes.

With the exception of a few Blood Beasts, most Blood Beasts are rarely in groups, as they are large and eat an incredible amount of food, and if they are gathered together, they will most likely lead to food shortage.

The exception to this is when they are ready to mate, which is obviously what they are experiencing now.
